In Response To: Re: Some thoughts. (SonGoharotto)


: 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.

I didn't really think about it like that... another thing to backtrack for doesn't sound good. :/

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

I meant where he said they would tend to favor one or the other.

: 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.

I agree

: 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.

I'm interested to see how you'd balance providing one where it might be helpful with not just putting it there as a clue (intentional or not) that you should use it or that the next area is a better one for jetpack use.

: 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.

Well about the last part, like I said I'm not sure where I was going with that, I think I was going to make a point about moving weapons and other resources and then I remembered the pain of moving all those weapons and then having 90% of them disappear and forgot what my point was.
As for the rest, I don't think you're talking out of any unfitting orifice. Those were things I thought of, and what my views on them were. You couldn't possibly already know what I was thinking and feeling, right? Could I just tell what you were thinking apart from what you typed?

: Well, I'm not a mind reader.

WTF how did you know I was going to say that? o_o

You cannot fall off the floor.
