QPQ: Done.

Overall: @IceWelder: Good work. However, I don't really feel that the hook is all that interesting. It just seems bland. Could you think of a better hook? Onegreatjoke (talk) 20:54, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

@Onegreatjoke: I actually think that the hook should be interesting under the pretext that Bully 2 has been long anticipated but never officially announced and internally cancelled multiple times. Still, here are some ALTs:

• ALT1: ... that Rockstar New England developed the scrapped single-player component of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory? Source: [2]
• ALT2: ... that Rockstar New England is based in Andover, Massachusetts, because it the founder's "favorite place"? Source: [3]
• ALT3: ... that Rockstar New England was founded by a former technical director for Activision? Source: [4]

If these don't do it for you either, feel free to provide your own suggestions. Regards, IceWelder [✉] 12:52, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
