One thing from the interview bothers me- about the custom content editor thing... the way this was worded it seems like it'll be some kind of Far Cry editor system, and for many pc gamers/modders who edit Halo PC/Custom Edition this sounds bad...
For the record: WE WANT TO MAKE MAPS FROM SCRATCH, not just pull up hills from a plane and add crates and junk. If I want to model my office building and put in Halo 2 I should be able to. This is a NECESSITY for a modern PC fps, and it surprises me that Bungie/MS would be paying some other group to make an editor app when they already have the tools to create everything- Sapien etc. Why not just release updated versions of Sapien and Geurilla (like the HEK included) instead of reworking everything to cater to the masses?
This would keep the quality of new maps higher, because not everyone would take the time to figure it out. Having a million Tony Hawk type maps out there could make the best maps harder to find, and prevent any excellent maps from being widely known or played. Plus it would allow for much more creativity and originality in new maps, which is what keeps people playing for years after the game's release.
PLEASE!! No editor app- give us real tools!!
Easy for you to say, what about the people who can't make their own maps from scratch? Also the map editer in Far Cry is a great tool. Plus only the minority want to build maps from scratch.
