Halo Developer Diary 4 at PlanetXbox
PlanetXbox has published Part 4 of their Halo Developer's Diary, and this one is chock-full of details about what makes Halo different from other games of its genre. There are some really fun bug-discovering snippets:
Two days ago some crazy (but diligent) tester stacked enough Warthogs to jump on top of an 'unclimbable' cliff on one of my levels.
There are descriptions of the complexity of gameplay, in both solo and multiplayer modes:
The guy riding shotgun in your warthog during a multiplayer game can toss a grenade into the enemy base from his seat, then leap out of the warthog, grab the flag, use the flag to smack another defender and jump back in without you even letting up on the accelerator.
And there are accounts of the dramatic nature of Halo:
I've seen a warthog drive out of a second story window, do a complete back flip and land right in the middle of a squad of Covenant just as one of them said "Does anybody see him?"
All in all, chock full of good info. (Unfortunately, it seems to confirm that cooperative play is limited to two players.) Go read the whole thing! (Louis Wu 08:50:15 UTC)
