I've been thinking alot lately about the original authors of the swat and zombie gametypes from Halo 2. For someone who created such a fun game that has been included in Halo 3 should definitely get alot of credit, thanks, and recognition! I know if i was the creator of one of the two, i would really want some recognition for a gametype that has been enjoyed by everyone around the world. Especially when it has been put into Halo 3. Sucks how Bungie changed it into "Infection."
I think that SWAT is an idea many people had in mind and created. As for zombies , I think that it was a plain genious idea and I agree that whoever first thought of it deserves a ton of credit, as it one of my favourite gametypes in which I have countless fun playing with my friends.
yes, same here. I remember the first time i played zombies in Halo 2. I never played anything like it before. Zombies was the reason why i continue to play alot of custom games...
:squirrel_jaffa: I love swat, and always play it whenever i can, i think whoever made up that game type should get an award for best gametype ever!!!! :squirrel_rocking: I think infection is okay, pretty cool for certain maps. I would like to see an infection gametype for live Halo 3!! :squirrel_jaffa: :squirrel_jaffa:
lol that was very sarcastic. But i do understand what your trying to say. If bungie was to ask who ever made the original zombie gametype, i bet a billion people will reply back...good, sarcastic comeback!
i made the wheel ... didn't you hear? honestly though ... how would you ever be able to track who played Zombie/Infection first in Halo 2
Sorry, but I don't agree. Awards/praise/accolades will not make the gametype any more fun than in already is. I don't see the point. If I had created it, I would not care if I received recognition or not; as long as people are having fun, it doesn't make a difference if they know who the "creator" is. --dc
Personally, i think your the only person in the world who thinks that. What if you have created one of the most incredible invention ever, but nobody knew you made it. How would you feel?
Yeah it would be nice to give the creaters some reconition, but it would be hard to actually find the real person who created it.
well when when i first saw this thread i was like "BLAM!" because i had this idea of merging SWAT and Infection and calling it SWAT Zombies, me and my friends already tried it out and it was pretty fun. ya and so when i saw this thread i was crap someone already thought of it, but nevermind. im still perfecting SWAT Zombies so if you'd like it ill soon but a link to it
We live in a time where people want fame. The more famous you are, the better. I think you only say that since you didn't make it. If you did, different result?
well here's the thing: while some inventions are just a sudden thing, where the whole idea comes up at once, generally they are evolved over time by multiple people, hence why no-one can really claim to create it. For SWAT, it is just the combination of seeing that you can set sheilds to none, and realizing the without sheilds BRs are instant headshots. A lot of people likely did this without even knowing about the others (which is why I'm glad H3 gametypes don't have a patent system, since this is when the patent system really sucks, but I digress) For zombies, it gets a little more interesting. For example, some guy may decide to make a 4v4 game, where each time you die you switch teams until one team wins. Then, another guy may decide that it should be all vs. one, but when the one kills he gets a team-member. Then, another guy decides to tell certain teams to only use certain weapons. Then another guy turns off sheilds and gives a zombie theme to it. Obviously, these are completely theoretical. However, they show how sometimes there is no "creator" of anything.
you know you raise a good point. i never thought about multiple people sharing ideas of certain gametypes...
