In Response To: Re: Some thoughts. (General Vagueness)


: I think you're misunderstanding me, I'm not suggesting it would be difficult
: to manage, I'm suggesting it would be annoying.

My point is that it'd be no more or less annoying than having to backtrack for a power weapon or armor ability you might have passed up. The player having limited resources is the foundation of Halo's gameplay design.

: As RC Master pointed out, that kind of depends on the map design.

Naturally, maps would be designed specifically to accommodate this system.

: You mean like with the rocket launcher? I ask because with that it doesn't
: seem to dissuade anyone.

Rockets are a weapon, used to shoot things. Jetpack is completely different method of moving around the game space from walking/sprinting. The two things don't really compare.

: I have, on more than one occasion, attempted to juggle every single unused
: Sentinel beam, and on several more occasions every unused Sentinel major
: beam, all the way across Sacred Icon. You can imagine how upset I was when
: I lost the vast majority in the last two plug lock doorway things.

And I would sometimes juggle power weapons when I didn't want to choose between rockets and sniper. But that's not a behavior that I would expect or force other players to mimic.

A Jetpack would be provided in areas where it might be helpful, but ideally, the player would never be pigeonholed into needing one. And having one where you're not expect to might reveal shortcuts, hidden weapon caches, Easter Eggs, etc.

Excuse me for saying so, but your arguments seem to be based on the presumption that I haven't already considered these things. While I am largely making this up as I go, if put something down in words for others to read, then it's safe to assume that I've put some measure of thought into it, and I'm not just talking out of my ass.

: I'm not
: sure where I'm going with this any more... but I wasn't suggesting limited
: fuel for the jetpack before, in case you thought I was.

Well, I'm not a mind reader. You have to state what you mean if you expect a topical response.
