Cody Miller stopped in this weekend with word of a new article, written by Rampancy.net’s Narcogen, on a site dedicated to pointing out some story issues with Halo Anniversary. Narc’s pretty unhappy with the way the new Terminals fit into the game, and while he overstates the problem (the ‘added details’ he laments on the Anniversary viewscreens were, in fact, in the original game), his arguments about how this new information meshes (or doesn’t mesh) with existing information are compelling. Give it a read! (Louis Wu 17:25:38 UTC)
