Re: my Halo mission design document

In Response To: my Halo mission design document (R.G.)

Wow, impressive, and clearly the result of hard work and dedication. Plus, it looks like it would be a lot of fun to play, which is what really matters.

If I were going to make any sort of criticism (and I am going to, but only, I hope, in the most constructive of ways), it would be that it looks like a lot of other Halo levels. As someone already pointed out, it feels a bit like "Halo." It seems kind of like a "best of" level: the beach fight from "Silent Cartographer," the final run from "The Maw," the large scale battles from, either "Halo" (with Covie dropships) or "Two Betrayals," etc. Of course, if you were to get too "out there," it would leave you open to the criticism that you had strayed too far from the "assignment" of using the existing Halo-story elements.
In thinking about what is cool/original about it, I'm drawn to the idea of the forest battle. In Halo there is the swamp on "343GS" and the interior of the "Silent Cartographer" island, but no sustained fighting in a forest or tall grass - those sound like cool additions.

All in all, well done, and much better than I could do.

Why don't you come up and see me sometime?
