Inside Bungie - Living The Spartan Life
Straight from the latest issue of Edge, a great feature all about the life inside Bungie studios. The article gets into a good bit of detail on the mindset of this insular part of Microsoft's development network. Interviewed developers discuss what it is like working for Microsoft, and how hard it is not to be hard on themselves. Specifically, the developers have some surprisingly harsh criticism of their own opus - Halo 2. From the article, comments by technical lead Chris Butcher: "One of the things that stuns me when I think about it, and I can't believe this is true - we had [no time to polish] for Halo 2. Take that polish period and completely get rid of it. We miscalculated, we screwed up, we came down to the wire and we just lost all of that. So Halo 2 is far less than it could and should be in many ways because of that. It kills me to think of it. Even the multiplayer experience for Halo 2 is a pale shadow of what it could and should have been if we had gotten the timing of our schedule right. It's astounding to me. I f***ing cannot play Halo 2 multiplayer. I cannot do it. And that's why I know Halo 3 is going to be so much better."

ACTUALLY, Hotaru could of destroyed Nehelenia. Silence Glaive Suprise at it's full power can destroy the universe. That's why it was Hotaru's last resort, since she knew that Nehelenia's pocket dream universe had to be destroyed along with Nehelenia herself. Besides, there was no possible way to destroy Nehelenia since she was an omnipotent in her own world. But if Rini didn't stop Hotaru, Nehelenia(Hotaru too) would of been killed. Even Goku from DBZ has nothing on Hotaru's full potential.
