: Maybe when Greg Bear is doing the writing. He gets the grande bits. He can
: string novels together. He actually understands writing and is pretty
: freaking amazing at it. The game (and I suspect its sequels) did not and
: future titles most likely will not benefit from such mastery and
: "tightness" as you call it. If they do, well damn, thank
: goodness I'm wrong. Not counting on it. Or maybe they'll let Greg Bear be
: in charge of the narrative of the games and maybe he'll also help them
: edit to make sure that their stuff even works on a basic level.
I like Greg Bear's take on the Forerunners and Halo's distant past, but the Halo story was good long before he got to add his mark to it.
