So I haven't really decided on a topic, nothing seems to able to be 4 page worthy. It's easier if you could have a bigger subject that's not so similar. With people it would be a lot easier, they have their stories and actually have a thinking mind. Unlike something that is so closely related that its hard to tell the difference. I don't know what would really work, but I think I'm going to go with the example that was on the sheet that had the assignment on it. Halo 1 compared to Halo 2, having played the games a good amount of time, I know a lot about their basic game play and some of the deeper ways the game has changed.

Halo 1 was a milestone in gaming history. Being only to carry two weapons in the game gave it its lifelike feel, but having the futuristic effects it made the game fun. Halo 1 didn't have Xbox Live, so you couldn't go online and play other people, so you had to invite all your friends over and play on a LAN network. We would have 8 or even 16 of us almost every day at our house, bunched up in our separate rooms, screaming at the top of our longs telling our teammates what to do. Halo 1 was a lot of fun, we spend hours finding out all the little glitches that resulted in unfair behavior while playing serious matches.

Halo 2 was a lot like halo 1 in game play, but had a whole new layout with Xbox Live. Instead of having people at your house, we would connect to the internet and play over Live. Then games got more serious, with greater competition. Soon we were again LANning at each others houses, this time though to play online as a team. The nights would end up being sixteen hours long and our days were nights. The Halo addiction kicked in and we were never the same.

Now it's Halo 3, but we don't want to get into that.
