"The building of a game like this is a work of electronic engineering comparable in scale to the building of a medieval cathedral. It is not like making a film."
- Brian Jarrard
From: Telegraph
I have been converted.
When I first read this quote I rolled my eyes. How could anyone compare the building of a Medieval cathedral, (a process which took thousands of man hours, vast wealth, staggering intellence, moving faith) to pushing a few pixels around a screen?
In my ignorance I was outraged. How dare someone so ignorant of the Middle Ages dare say such a thing? How could objects which defy gravity and stand for centuries be compared to a mere game?
But then, dear readers, I saw the light.
Consulting the one true source of knowledge (Wikipedia), I learned the truth.
All praise the Master Chief!
You see, dear readers, Halo (tm) is the light. The Wikipedia article for 'God' has 3610 words, whereas the articles for the Trinity (Halo 1, 2, and 3) have 3737, 5226, 5789 words respectively.
The will of the people have spoken - praise be to the Halo!
Brother Jarrard was right. Making Halo 3 (tm) is like building a cathedral - both seek to glorify the Master Chief (a.k.a 'God').
a11 pr813e teh Halo!!!
