Crysis 2 writer doesn't like Halo either
After having bashed the writing of Modern Warfare 2, sci-fi author Richard Morgan told NowGamer that he isn't too fond of Halo either
I don’t like the Halo series at all. Okay Halo is not actually bad, it’s just, you know, average. The reason that its fiction doesn’t work has nothing to do with the fact that you don’t get to see Master Chief’s face, it’s because of lines like ‘Okay … I’m gonna get up there and kill those guys’. Halo is full of these bullshit archetypal characters and there’s no real emotional effect.
Before you start thinking this guy doesn't like any videogame story: he likes Uncharted 2 and Bioshock:Uncharted 2 is the perfect example, it’s tongue-in-cheek, but it’s a compelling story and it’s a very straight-forward gameplay dynamic. Crysis 2, fine, it is fundamentally about firefights – about shooting stuff – but so was BioShock. The whole point about BioShock was the texture that made it.
