Shack News hooked up with Bungie’s Frank(ie) O’ Connor recently to chat up Halo 3. What followed was an awesome discussion about Forge + baseball, Halo 3 DLC (look forward to it) and more. Check the interview here, and check out a quick excerpt for a good taste.
….when those guys made [a] baseball [gametype] with rockets and gravity hammers–and that was their first pass at something!–and they even got bases in, we said, “Okay, all bets are off.” We had no idea. I think one of the problems we do have with Forge is that we do very extensive testing, but since we explain to testers the parameters, it’s a very different set of expectations. These guys came in a few days ago and had no preconceptions. They said, “We should make baseball,” and they did.
