In Response To: Re: How... (Leisandir) : uberfoop: "I was referring to the campaign, though the MP is an : interesting discussion." : Counter-play refers primarily to multiplayer, where there's a human being on : both sides of the interaction. I know, but a similar thing can happen in SP sometimes when designers want to create "interesting" enemies without properly taking into account the actual effects on the receiving player. The cause isn't exactly the same (more "this concept is cool in and of itself" than "this will be cool to use"), but it's related, and the effects are similar. : An : example of good counter-play in Halo might be the Hologram. I've seen a : few players activate the hologram and continue to watch forward, so it : looks like the player is the hologram and vice versa. It turns into a bit : of a shell-game where the attacker has to make a split-second decision : which to target. That's a big maybe, since making the wrong choice here depends on not noticing something due to an intentional responsiveness issue, which on the fly can turn it into a dice roll.
