Subject: Matt's Halo Update - March 23, 2001 Date: Fri, 23 Mar 2001 15:50:11 -0800 x-sender: matt@mail.bungie.com From: Matt Soell <matt@bungie.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 "They say that Halo Update is a bad mother-" "Shut your mouth!" "I'm just talking 'bout the Halo Update." "I can dig it." - Chucky has made great strides toward getting breakable surfaces in the game. - Aiming works better; you can no longer target enemies hiding behind objects, but you can target enemies in moving vehicles. - There's a snazzy new muzzle flash for the pistol and new ammo casings for pistol rounds. If you were to look at the back of a pistol casing in midair, you'd be able to read the words on the back of it, and see that the firing pin hits slightly off-center. - AI characters now have a chance of firing their weapon during a death spasm. - The Covenant Elite only seek cover if you do, making them, in Rick's words, "more Terminator-esque." - Did some more work on the model and environment shaders. - Chucky took on a horde of grunts with a pistol and tried to get rid of them all with headshots. He lost. - Mat is modifying the editor to be of greater use to the Sin-O-MatiXXX team. - Speaking of which, there's a new member of the Sin-O-MatiXXX team: Adam Crockett. He's currently modeling the exterior of the Pillar of Autumn. The team is also currently working on bringing Cortana to life.
