C.E. -The Trump Card

Was arguing with a guy at work about how great Halo was, and realized something. If there was one singular thing that separated C.E. from its contemporaries (and a lot of games since), it was enemy psychology. No other game did so much to make you believe the enemies were real. Varying states of alarm/quiet...many games still don't seem to have that. Or even non-combat animations half the time.

  • I couldn't agree more. It is always a stuggle to take down an elite. You get to know their behaviour and then they suprise you and stuff. It's awesome and great for replay-ability.

I dislike competition...any two blam-holes can fight over something. Cooperation is far more rare and ultimately worthwhile. Is what raised us from cowering from cave hyenas to where we are now.

  • "My head was miles away from my body. My plan to unleash a Goldie on the Flood in Two Betrayals backfired." Ah, you were drinking... As I am now. I only get on here when I'm good and slappy. Is alright. We're all friends here...unless you do a jerky Flood maneuver...

  • Glad to hear you're feeling right, as my favorite L4D2 character would say. Well, as much as I hate to be a whiny blam, I've got more issues with H-4 than National Geographic at this point. That's always a satisfying area, if not exactly fun. I think we wanted too much for 4. (As always) CE was truly so far ahead of its time...even with the benefit of its example...games that followed just...couldn't emulate it...

[/quote]Yeah I should have lowered my expectations... to the point of having none. On the bright side, I got to try out Spartan Ops on Co-op today. Much more enjoyable than playing it Solo. Yep. All the work that went into each Elite AI was worth it.
