In Response To: Re: Official Halo PC Strategy Guide Survey (Twilight)

: Well for me, personally, I dig behind-the-scenes stuff. Seriously, if you put
: a few insightful interviews, maybe a couple
: how-this-came-from-that-idea-but-we-made-it-magenta boxouts, and that sort
: of stuff, I'll pretty much be your consumer/bitch.

: Ah, and stats. Lemme see that the red elites have xx% more shields than blue
: ones, y'know? And how much damage /are/ my bullets doing compared to those
: in the warthogs chaingun?

: If you stuck in a blurb for each level of the game written by (or interviewed
: with) whomever designed the level, that would just be peachy, man. I got
: to hear some level-designer chit-chat when I was lurking at the fanfest,
: and I just dig that stuff.

: Y'know, interview some voice actors. If you do, I-give-you-cookie.

: I guess I'm saying that I'd be looking at buying something that was more than
: a "there's 4 grunts around this pilar in picture (4-6b). flank 'em,
: soldier!" sort of guide. That's all well and good, just not my thing.
: And I know a lot of folks who wouldn't bat their eye twice at a standard
: b&w cookie-cutter strategy guide, but would snap up anything that was even
: /close/ to as in-depth, loved, and as thoughtfully put together as, say,
: one of the Lunar Complete guides.

: ...no, no, I don't expect hardcover. ^_^

: (Long winded, eh? Man, you had to ask. ^_^;;)

This is a great idea. So many people would go nuts trying to get a copy of it. Most of the guides I have seen over the years don't get into the game. They just tell you where all the people and powerups are and how to win. People like us forumites just eat up anything bungie even dreams about and extra content would be great.

I also like the idea of having stats. It would give us a better feel of exactly what weapon would be the best based on damage and the enenmy we're up against. It would also be great if you put a lot of emotion into it. Some guides just feel like the guy doesn't give a s**t about the game and just wants to make money.

Anyway, I guess I'm just saying put as much as you can into the guide, and I think it will do great. Good luck to ya .

P.S.-feel free to join our forum and ask about anything you want. It's always fun to have official guys around.
