i love at the end where he talks about the bungie heads discussing what makes a bungie game.
you really wanna know what makes a bungie game? k-
A bungie game is a game where the sequel is never better than the previous game. the sequel fixes previous problems with the former game but introduces a whole new set of problems. a bungie game is a game where they manage to screw up perfectly toned mechanics and settings because they felt the need to tweak things that weren't broken. a bungie game is a game that cant even run close to true HD, and manages to look like absolute dog poo on decent LCD televisions.
A bungie game is a game where the netcoding is so bad they cant handle 8v8. a bungie game manages to frustrate you so much because somehow they find a way to make things even more frustrating than before. a bungie game is a game where they try everything they can to cater to a casual crowd even though the casual crowd will abandon the game within a few months of playing (way to make your efforts worth something, geniuses). a bungie game is a game where the little things matter so much and is tested so furiously that they skip over huge glaring issues (like the initial problem with the maulers). a bungie game is a game where they will take everyones favorite weapon and reduce it's effectiveness because obviously it's a skilled base weapon and they dont want skill in this game to shine over a ridiculous AR assault.
i mean, i could just go on and on and on. fire everyone involved in halo 3, and go hire some guys from the old studio FASA. better yet, every halo project from now on that involves a FPS should be done not by bungie, but by the guys at FASA, or what was.
next time you guys have discussion of what is a bungie game maybe you should have a discussion of WHAT NOT TO DO and LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. you have the most outspoken community and yet you manage to constantly piss them off. some of the mistakes are so obvious it's like what the hell were you thinking?
please, take note of gears of war 2. watch very closely what epic does k? it's probably what you guys should have done right after halo ce.
thanks for reading.
