I had a LOT of fun playing SP and MP in Halo. But I also had a lot more fun exploring the levels and asking myself the questions like, "I wonder what's up there?" or "I wonder if I could get up there?"

I spent hours finally getting to the bottom of the Silent Cartographer. I had a blast bypassing the checkpoint in level 5 (AotCR) and getting into the abandoned banshees and exploring the level with no aliens. Warthog jumps? Downloaded the videos and did it...a lot. I had fun finally getting off of the Blood Gulch map. I had fun getting the Scorpion off of the Sidewinder map.

In short, please please PLEASE don't cut off all of the places we technically aren't supposed to go. I know that in many cases they were possibly things that were overlooked by designers and programmers but people like me love spending time playing around with them.

Can I get an "amen?"

Interested in seeing a video of a MC blasting himself, in a Warthog, over Silent Cartographer Island to the other side, alive?

Amen to what? I see his point and understand it fully, but as a programmer its something that you want to try and avoid. Bugs and things like that aren't something you "what" to have in your game. Regardless, these things you speak of most likely will be there. I don't think a single game has been made where you couldn't get into some strange areas originally never inteaded to be reached.

Maybe not bugs per se...I just like to mess around with the physics of the environment :).

I think that instead of allowing people to shoot themselves out of a level, maybe just have some hidden places. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this but in Damnation, there is a place where you can launch yourself on top of the level with a rocket launcher. I've never heard anybody say anything about that. Anyway, you need 400% health and a rocket launcher and you can get up on top. I don't think that this is an accident either, because it's textured, not just all white like at Sidewinder.
