[quote]1) because he was the guy who designed and built halo 2 multiplayer? 2) on his own for several months no less. He had no dedicated assets to help him build anything except for one programmer Chris carney later in. The entire studio was working on something else for multiplayer while max was shafted to doing arena multiplayer for the longest time. He was the guy who designed your beloved Halo 2 and these are things that have his personal blessing and even request. I would have expected his word to be treated with more respect.[/quote] I can do my own thinking, I don't need Max Hoberman to do it for me. I'm not a -blam!-ing drone who parrots other people's opinions all day, like you. [quote]3) and this js a directors cut which by definition is cut content reestablished for later editions of a work. All of this stuff, that being elements such as the gungoose and various weaponry, was original intent or ideas originally thought up but max's one man team simply lacked the capacity or the technology to put in. Their approach literally was "if you could redesign these maps with the technology you have now that you wished you had 10 years ago, what would you do?"[/quote] Most all of that stuff was probably cut for a reason. And for that reason these maps will likely be cluttered and inferior in comparison to their original counterparts. And Ascension just sucked to begin with so with this bubble shield thing it should be a spectacle. I'll be too busy playing real Halo to find out for sure, though. [quote]4) and finally, let us be civil. I am being civil, but you are the one resorting to childish insults which is in fact patently what a fanboy does.[/quote] If you say so, but in this case it's also what someone who thinks you're a terrible poster does (as has thought so for a few years now), as well as someone who wonders whether or not your asinine thought process is legitimate or some kind of weird performance art. I'm not concerned about how seriously you take me, I already know that my intelligence is vastly superior to yours.
