I just bought the game yesterday, and I love it!!!
The Live play is kind of weird just read on....
But I thought this was a great post by NEUTRAL FG when i was on bungie.net forums.
Here's my analogy in script form. It's a draft, so I'd love to see some editing and additions.
If Bungie owned a restaurant:
I’d pre-pay $50.00 to get in, then:
Maitre 'd: Welcome to Cafe de Halo2 Monsieur. Would you like to sit at the steak/chicken/lamb table with 4 people or the pork/turkey/duck table with 6 people.
Me: Actually, I'm meeting some friends who are already here, can I join them?
Maitre ‘d: No.
Me: No?
Maitre ‘d: No.
Me: Why not?
Maitre ‘d: This is a new type of restaurant sir. Sit down, you will enjoy it.
Me: Ok, I’ll take the steak/chicken/lamb table
Maitre ‘d: Fine. I will find you a table in 15 minutes.
Me: 15 minutes, but there’s plenty of open seats?
Matre ‘d: Yes, but we are going to find the best seat for you. It takes time.
Me: Well, is there a wait at the pork/turkey/duck section
Maitre ‘d: I don’t know, you’ll have to choose that to find out.
Me: OK, I’ll try that.
Maitre ‘d: Alright, yes there is a wait.
Me: Fine, I’ll try that.
15 minutes pass, I get seated with 7 strangers.
Me: I’ll take the duck.
Waiter: I’m sorry sir, we don’t do it that way here. We bring you what we decide to bring you.
Me: What? But I don’t want pork, can I request to not get pork.
Waiter: No. And quit whining. If you don’t like pork, go home and cook with your friends. You should be grateful we opened this restaurant.
Me: Sorry. Bring me what you want.
[One excellent piece turkey arrives, and I eat it]
Me: Waiter, are there side dishes or anything?
Waiter: No sir, you must leave now. Your 6 minutes is up. Come back later with these friends you met here?
Me: Met, who had time to meet anyone? You made me leave in 6 minutes?
Waiter: I’m sorry sir, you must go. You should chase the 7 people from your table and ask if they’ll be your friends. And, sir, if you want to eat what you want when you want it, I suggest you cook at home with your friends. You ingrate.
