Ifølge Bungie så kan Halo lære noget af Call of Duty 4, og det giver jeg dem fuldstændig ret i. Jeg har aldrig været den store fan af Halo, men Call of Duty 4 er derimod et af de mest underholdende spil længe set. Og selvom Halo 3 og CoD4 kæmper indædt mod hinanden som det mest spillede spil på XBLA, så ved jeg godt, hvem jeg sværger til.
Bungies Lead AI Programmer Damian Isla fortæller “We have a lot to learn from their success too, they did some very innovative things to keep people going and their experience-rewards system was something that we paid a lot of attention to… I think it’s a great game and single player obviously is fantastic… They did a hell of a job with their set pieces, of scripting certain moments that they were really sure the player was going to actually see and experience first hand. The way that they use those moments to craft the player experience… Halo has a lot to learn from.”
Måske kunne man lave det ultimative spil via en hybrid af Halo og CoD? Så ville jeg måske endelig forstå, hvorfor der er så stor en hype omkring Halo-universet og Master Chief. Indtil da kan jeg jo bare glæde mig over Master Chiefs forsøg på at gøre noget godt for menneskeheden – og nej, jeg snakker ikke om Halo 3.
