Re: Sorry... (minor spoilers)
Posted By: Andrew Nagy	Date: 11/28/01 9:07 p.m.
In Response To: Sorry... (Louis Wu) I thought I'd included all the relevant context, but whatever. : : - Are there still hundreds of human civilians and Marines who survived : : _Pillar of Autumn_'s crash? Do they all have unique faces and voices? : There seem to be a lot of Marines. hundreds... I don't think so (wasn't the : original number 1800?). I haven't met a civilian yet. I guess the lack of civilians makes sense, since the Pillar of Autumn is described as a warship in The Fall of Reach. I wonder when it changed. : : - Are there veteran units? : What, you mean veterans of other Covenant skirmishes? Yes, many of the : marines show up more than once. Do they seem to become better fighters with experience, like in Myth II? If they get killed in the first skirmish, are the later ones harder without their help? : : - Have we seen all the weapons and vehicles at this point, or are there still : : some surprises? : Dunno what you've seen... Just what's in the manual. I'm worried that there aren't any more weapons because it adds up to 8 total guns, the same as in Marathon Infinity. Have you found any wall-hugging hippos yet? : : - Is there any Halo equivalent of PiD's IR goggles or Marathon's infravision : : chip? Are there any enemies like PiD's demons which can only been seen if : : you use it? : No. There's night vision on the sniper scope, though. Works pretty well. That's strange, since the MJOLNIR armor had an infrared view in The Fall of Reach. : : - Do the humans have any invisibility devices? : You can find active camoflauge units around. They make you invisible, after a : fashion. I've never seen any of the marines using them. Is it clear whether they're from the Covenant or someone else? : : - About one minute into the recent TeamXbox trailer, the player is moving : : right with Covenant energy bolts flying past to his left. Does this mean : : that, like in Marathon, Halo NPCs can't hit moving targets, and the best : : way to avoid all enemy fire is by strafing and circling? : Yes. (Except that needler shots track you, and many enemies (especially later : in the game) use melee attacks more than long-range shots, so it doesn't : always work.) Are the Bobs the same way? Considering the speed of the bullets, does it even make a difference in that case? : : - Is there any particular reason why we haven't seen any Marathon-style : : teleportation yet? Is it in some of the spoiler videos? : It doesn't exist. : (There is a teleportation, of a sort... but it comes much later, and the : visuals are all different.) Weird. Does Hamish Sinclair know about that? : : - Are dead bodies part of the physics model, or are they insubstantial like : : in most other games? Can you move or lift them? : They're not insubstantial. You can't lift them (mostly because you can't lift : ANYTHING, really) - but you can move them with weapons fire, or grenades. Can they alter your movement, or do you just go right through them like in Marathon, Jedi Knight, Red Faction, and everything else? That got really jarring with the larger enemies. : : - What happened to hand signals, and the flamethrower and gravity rifle? : Hand signals - probably didn't work with a controller. Do you think they might be in PC version multiplayer, then? Probably not, but I expect someone will make a mod featuring them in that case. : : - Why not just make a Frog Blast The Vent Core shirt? One could win the : : Webmaster's Challenge without even knowing it. : This seems like a silly question. Hoo yeah! : : - Can you look down and see your feet? If not, I might need to kick some : : butts. : You can see your feet when you first awake out of cryosleep... but never : again. &@*#$^%!!! How can such a basic element of an FPS environment keep getting overlooked?! At one point I heard a rumor that Tribes 2 would have feet in first-person; is that still true? : : - Is the Put You Back You The Wall Feature Thing still in? : Dunno what this means. http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive.pl?read=22721 http://halo.bungie.org/screenshots/screens5oct99/halo7.jpg : : - Can you still do a seamless 360º vertical look, like at the beginning of : : one of the MWT 2000 BTV videos? : Yes. Yosh! Would that make this the first new mouselook system for a ground-based FPS since Quack? I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned in any of the reviews describing the control scheme. : : - Is Craig Mullins doing any art for Halo or Phoenix? : He drew an image of the Halo from space that was turned into a Microsoft : desktop - you'll find it in our Wallpaper section. The description for the desktop makes it sound like you haven't actually heard from Mullins or Bungie about it - is that true? : My memory's not that good, and I'm not willing to do that much of your : homework for you. You want to ask questions like this, you need to make it : obvious what you're asking. You did this on exactly two questions (by : including the original text for context) - I'll answer those two. The rest : - you've let this sit for 5 days, there's no WAY I'm going back and : rereading what I wrote first, then your response again, sorry.
