This is further reinforced by the fact that neither Intel-based Macreplaces any PowerPC models; both the iMac G5 and 15-inch PowerBook G4are still for sale. This positions the Intel-based models more likesiblings than successors.
User interface snappiness seems to be the most noticeableimprovement, and has been mentioned by everyone I know who alreadyhas an iMac Core Duo. Michael Tsai and Dan Benjamin bothspecifically mentioned that window resizing in particular is muchimproved.
The standard disk partition format on an Intel-based Macintoshcomputer differs from the disk partition format of aPowerPC-based Macintosh computer. If your application depends onthe partitioning details of the disk, it may not behave asexpected. Partitioning details can affect tools that examine thehard disk at a low level.
By default, internal hard drives on Intel-based Macintoshcomputers use the GUID Partition Table (GPT) scheme and externaldrives use the Apple Partition Map (APM) partition scheme. Tocreate an external USB or FireWire disk that can boot anIntel-based Macintosh computer, select the GPT disk partitionscheme option using Apple Disk Utility. Starting up anIntel-based Macintosh using an APM disk is not supported.
Apple vice president David Moody confirmed in a briefing thisafternoon, that Apple thought the best way to provide performanceand flexibility was not to include FireWire 800 as a fixed porton the models.
iWeb can be used to post to non .Mac servers, but not directly. Whatyou can do is export to a folder locally on your Mac, then upload thatfolder to a server using a standalone SFTP client. Or, if your webhost supports WebDAV (like, say, TextDrive does2), you can mount yourhosted space directly from the Finder as a network volume and save toit directly from iWeb.
Whether you prefer vistas or ordnance, where Halo may go from here feels at once predictable and expansive; think of these stories as a patchwork roadmap from a number of people who lived it, replete with detours and roughly sketched paths, all in pursuit of answering that question.
Jaime Griesemer (Halo series mission design)They were looking at Myth and thinking it would have done better if it were sci-fi, and looking at StarCraft and thinking that would be better without all the resource management. And Bungie had always invested a lot in its engine technology, simulating things, and relying more on the physics to provide the gameplay. So they wanted to one-up all the sci-fi RTS games, and have vehicles that really moved like vehicles, and terrain that really mattered because it was 3D.
Marcus LehtoI was hired to provide more of a creative vision. Jason at that time was hands-on programming every day, all day, so it was really fun for me, problem solving through those initial steps. Then we brought on a few more folks and began building a real, playable prototype. It was a top-down, lots-of-units-on-the-ground kind of game.
Jaime GriesemerThe team was eight or nine people when I joined, mostly working on the engine front. The first thing that I worked on was multiplayer, so some of what I did was weapons. You know, making a shotgun and sniper rifle and hitting all the fundamental shooter components.
Peter TamteRight away I got thrown right into the thick of things. Another thing that I did right after joining Bungie was call my old boss at Apple and asked him to be the one basically to introduce Halo to the world. That was Steve.
Peter TamteSteve was always the type who could recognize something that had the potential to change the world. He was good at that. After he saw it, that was it. And just a few weeks later Jason would be on stage to show the world the first glimpse of Halo.
Peter TamteI think what made Halo such a successful game was evident in that initial demonstration, this feeling of adventure and exploration within a very interesting world and the freedom to go anywhere. And after it was introduced at Macworld by Steve, it just exploded. I always tell people Halo was one of the five most anticipated games on three different continents, before we had spent one dollar on advertising.
Peter TamteIn January of 2000, Take-Two had invited two of their leading developers to attend a meeting with Microsoft in New York, to show off this new game console that they were building. So it was me and Alex, with Sam Houser and Terry Donovan from Rockstar, and at dinner that night we started talking with the Microsoft team about their plans for game support to launch the Xbox.
Stuart Moulder (then general manager, Microsoft Game Studios)First-person shooters were generally tunnel-based back then, kind of claustrophobic experiences. And that Halo was outside in this alien landscape, it had a sense of galactic scale that was really amazing to see, even in that really nascent stage.
Stuart MoulderIt essentially buffers your movements, so that you get the movement you wanted, not necessarily the one you were making. Which gives you a really controlled, precise experience, beyond what your thumb could actually give you, unassisted.
Max HobermanAlex and Jason did a really good job spinning the buyout internally as an amazing opportunity that could help shape the future of this brand-new console. The best way to do that, and the only way to do that effectively, was to do it right next to the team building the console.
Paul BertoneScchhluupp. That sucking sound. Marty used to walk around the office all the time, just driving his coffee cup around, making that sound as different people got sucked into the Halo team. He loved doing that.
Jaime GriesemerThe big thing that we were worried about was what had happened with (MechWarrior developers) FASA, the studio that Microsoft bought before us. That was another Chicago company, and we knew a bunch of those guys. Microsoft brought them all over, split them up amongst a bunch of internal teams, fired a bunch of key people and basically destroyed the entire studio, the IP and everything.
Jaime GriesemerCortana came along well before Microsoft. That was another totally crazy thing. Marathon had this AI named Durandal, which is a famous literary French sword. When we decided on a similar AI in Halo, we looked at that idea again.
Marcus LehtoJason had a difficult time separating work from external life during the making of Halo. It consumed him in a way that ultimately hurt him physically, too. He was not well when we eventually began making Halo 2.
Finally we talked through what was interesting about that idea. I think what Jason really cared about was, at some point, that the superhuman Master Chief had all his tools taken away from him, and then faced an even bigger challenge. And that became, for better or worse, the Master Chief being pulled away by the Gravemind and set on a different path.
Joe StatenThe cinematics and audio team was in a different part of the office to the core development team. So we just weren't privy to all the conversations that went on in those pods every day.
Jaime GriesemerThere was a lot of new lore and story stuff that had to get generated to show the Covenant from the other side. We committed to a bunch of content that the story required, but we couldn't produce enough of it while trying to make everything else look better. Also we implemented (the physics engine) Havok in Halo 2, so everything about how the vehicles worked changed, everything about projectiles worked changed, everything about how you built the environment changed. That was a huge technical hurdle.
Things just changed after he left. All of a sudden you had this whole group of people who had to figure out how to work together, and all these problems that Alex had been solving. A lot more politics started blooming at that point.
Max HobermanDoing multiplayer was the most productive, intense period of my life up to that point. I was just a machine. I had one environment artist who doubled as a level designer and I eventually got permission to hire one additional environment artist, but I had to do the hands-on work outside of the other guys, helping on levels.
Paul BertoneI became mission design lead. We basically started a complete redesign of the campaign about a year and a half in, a very silly Herculean effort. A lot of people sacrificed themselves in ways that you should never have to for your job.
Paul BertoneWe got the first couple missions down as templates, with all the information that we needed to see. Then other people started trickling in, like Marcus and the other mission designers. It was so much work, so the other designers were brought in, and we all worked on it together.
Ed FriesI'm probably the only one who would tell you this, but after launch everyone embraced Halo to such an extent it was actually a problem. Once the whole success of a platform rests on one game, that game has to be there.
I remember I was in a meeting about Halo 2, and the reality was that we needed to move it back a year to deliver the game that we wanted. (Former chief Xbox officer) Robbie Bach turned it into a vote. The choices were to force Bungie to ship Halo 2 a year before it's ready, or give them the extra year to get it done right.
Joe StatenWe had this great third act wrap-up of Master Chief and the Arbiter coming together and defeating the Prophets and discovering The Ark, and this deeper secret inside of it. But it was so above what we could possibly do from a production point of view that it fell apart. There was meant to be a mission where you were fighting on top of The Ark, like it was uncovered like it is in Halo 3. So you're fighting multiple Scarabs, going through a trench run to make your way into it. We had it all modeled out, we had it all massed out, this big structure with Scarabs sitting on top of it. 153554b96e
