Bungie: "We are definitely bending the Xbox as far as it'll bend,"

Because reading this was pure bliss. I'm far from a Halo nut, but I do agree that Bungie's focus on dynamic gameplay elements makes their games a TON of fun to play and rarely gets the attention it should.

Yah, I prefer this approach and Valve's (which I think is just as good in titles like Half Life 2, etc) to an excess of scripted events that repeat exactly.

Right now the Director AI in L4D is probably my favourite approach and something quite exciting for both online/offline play potential.

If games are going to be scripted then I expect the quality of Uncharted 2 these days, where the experience is tuned to perfection.
