Jaime Griesemer talks to CVG
Computer and Video Games has interviewed Jaime Griesemer, Halo 2 Lead Designer... and there's some good info to be had.
CVG:Something that really impressed about Halo was the non-player AI, especially that of the marine allies. What sort of improvements are you making in this area for Halo 2?
Griesemer: In Halo the AI was only concerned with shooting and not being shot. In Halo 2 the AI will have a much greater awareness of their environment. They will be able to adapt to it, and more importantly, they will be able to actively manipulate the environment to serve their ends. They'll knock over objects to create cover, they'll climb walls and leap between floors to get into a better position, they'll even destroy the cover the player is hiding behind to force him into the open.
Go read the rest (including another variation of the 'bacon' quote) at CVG! (Thanks to Harry Al-Shakarchi for the heads-up.) (Louis Wu 17:52:38 UTC) (permalink)
Guess that release date!
Ack. Mhaddy wrote a couple of days ago to remind us that the Junkyard is holding (and has been holding) a contest called "Halo: Guess the Release Date" - there'll be cool stuff for the person coming closest to the date that Halo goes gold for the Mac or PC. Check it out! (We mentioned this back in July... but it's always good to refresh your memory for longer-term stuff.) (Louis Wu 16:40:32 UTC) (permalink)
Legendary... sort of
Griffon found this Winamp skin accidentally - he didn't make it, but as he says, "it's still halo!" (Louis Wu 16:33:25 UTC) (permalink)
And they said it couldn't be done...
Frogblast finds the Holy Grail! Okay, maybe that's already in a church in Seville, I don't know... but he's managed to get to the bottom of Halo (the level, not the game), a feat that has become the embodiment of the ultimate stunt. Read the details (there are a lot of them) or just watch the movies... and chime in on the forum thread. (Louis Wu 08:18:40 UTC) (permalink)
