Halo Development Diary, part 2, at PlanetXbox
PlanetXbox has put up the second installment in their Halo Development Diary, wherein Level Designer Jaime Griesemer talks about training players to use Halo without boring them to death. Instead of step-by-step voiceovers, you'll learn skills as you go:
For instance, at one point you engage some Covenant from down a hallway and the only good cover is a side passage that leads around behind the Covenant, encouraging the Player to come out behind them and see them slowly sneaking up on where they last saw him.
He also talks about the things they DON'T want to have to teach you:
We're also hoping that some things won't need to be taught. As soon as you see a pair of giant armored hunters start bombarding the trees you are using as cover, we're assuming you'll learn to retreat pretty quickly.
It's a pretty good read - stop by and snag the rest! (Louis Wu 17:58:24 UTC)
