MMO Healing - Expectation vs. Reality (via @Kenshuma)

When I first built this Halo3 encounter, there was no Longsword. The climatic sequence was flat and needed something to give it more impact. I remember I was at The Central (the dive bar in Kirkland down the street from Bungie) with @oryxeleven (99% of my Halo dev stories start like this). Chris was complaining that the Cov turret looked silly b/c it was just randomly shooting at nothing. He said "It looks stupid. It should shoot down a Marine aircraft or something". I was like "Oh.. yea.. let's do that. Good call." The next day I made the requests and we eventually added this sequence w art and audio support. It's hard scripted (there's no AI driving the logic of that cannon). In Halo:Reach we changed the logic on the Cov Air Cannons to use the AI logic to shoot at the AI piloted Falcons. It was neat I guess. The AI systems always played out different.. but just didn't have the cinematic framing or bombastic feel that the Halo3 sequence had. IMO Halo3's implementation was better, even though it plays the same way each time. BTW I love these images by @kanokoga. I should reply to more w stories, cuz there are many.
