In Response To: Re: So, uh, we gonna discuss this thing, people? (stabbim)


: Ok, I'm part way through part 3 now and am having to go away from the
: computer for a while so I'll post what I've got so far: Part 2 Stuff:

: Player movement, specifically the elites running faster. Do you envision
: co-op using all-Spartans or all-Elite team? If there are mixed teams, some
: consideration should be made to prevent the elite players from running
: ahead. It can be somewhat annoying having teammates always running ahead
: of you in co-op games. Perhaps slight adjustments to the speed and
: duration of sprint and evade could provide a balance. If you're not
: envisioning mixed co-op teams, disregard this.

I would have it set up to where it would be all Spartans or all Elites, depending on which PC you are.

: Part 3 Stuff:

: First level: Traditionally, the first stage of a Halo game has limited the
: engagements to one faction, a small weapon set, etc. in order to introduce
: new players to gameplay concepts gradually. Fighting 3 different enemy
: factions in one stage could be confusing for new players. I'd suggest
: limiting the first stage to insurrectionists only, and leave the
: sentinels/enforcers and the Covies to a second stage at least. It might be
: possible to split up your current idea into two sections (thus making it
: levels one and two) without affecting the flow too much. Previous games
: have had levels that are in adjacent areas and in concept could have been
: linked as one level, but in practice were split up. Otherwise, I like your
: intro idea - field testing armor, sneaking around picking off rebels. It's
: ambitious, since we haven't fought other humans before.

Hm. I think I may have forgotten to change something there in the text (33,000 words is a lot to keep track of). In the map of the first Campaign level, it shows the first level is all Innies. The excavation where Forerunner constructs and the Covies are first encountered in the game would be in level two.

: More complex/challenging objectives: I approve. That is all. :)

Thank you.
