The Little Things

One of the things that never ceases to amaze me about this game is the near-OCD attention to detail the team displays in crafting the experience.  When you run around the maps (in the very near future!), you might consider the fact that every blade of grass, every rock and every bolt was hand-crafted and placed in that specific spot by someone (prolonged consideration of this fact may get you assassinated).

Tonight I saw one of those late-breaking features come online that takes something that’s been relatively finished for awhile, and gives it that extra little something that you never missed before, but now that it’s there you don’t know how you lived without it before.  I won’t say what it is here, but I will say that you have Mike Baldwin and Steve Scott to thank for it.  It’s the little things.

Friends and family tomorrow!  First to respond can have one of my codes.

  11. paulmarek said: guessing I missed the code grab but that’s awesome! The attention to detail in all of Bungie’s products separate them from the rest.
