My name was I was bright pink, and I was CRAZY good at this... at least I was in college, in the big city, where I could rule the night.
And then I got home, and played with the friends I grew up with and... not so good. At least nothing to write home about.
But that was the beauty of Halo. Something happened between Goldeneye and Halo that gave us hicks the ultimate advantage when we were playing with big city boys in college.
The technology advanced where, suddenly, knowing how to use a blind, knowing how to lead a target, the things that we honed growing up doing hunting squirrels and deer actually translated into the video game world.
It really was Combat Evolved like the tag line said it was. You still didn't have to think about wind and distance, but it was the first video game where actually knowing how to hunt kind of translated into a game.
That on it's own is pretty revolutionary.
