I just want to hear your opinions on this. Pre-release I kept reading about the "huge" levels and "huge multiplayer levels" in halo 2.

1: multiplayer- excluding waterworks (about the size of hang 'em high in halo 1) all of the multiplayer maps are pretty small. I remember reading zanzibar was supposed to be gigcantic... but you can cross it in about 1 minute. Blood gulch was cut in half.... everything's tiny.

2: As far as the levels go.... remember the level that starts "I would have been your daddy?" It just went on and on... it took at least an hour for me to run through it even when I ran passed all the enemys. Longest a (non legendary) level on halo 2 took me was MAYBE 20 minutes. ~:((SPOILER)):~ The last level consists of driving to a door, a set of enemys you don't have to kill, the set on the bridge (your allys can kill for you on all but legendary), the snipers, a set in the "jail" (again allys can kill these for you on all but legendary) ..... then you run through with the banshee for about 30 seconds, run through one more room and that's the end. On easy it takes 10 minutes. Honestly with well placed invisability you can make it through the entire level without firing a single shot (assuming instead of blowing up the tanks you just steal the tank so the door with the hunters opens).

These levels are TINY. can someone offer me some sort of consolation... what makes this game comparable to halo 1? All weapons are only really effective from shotgun range (except battle rifles which are inacurate and the sniper rifles)... I loved my mid-long ranged pistol death and they took that away in exchange for a reliance upon bullet spraying twin SMGs.

Thus concludes my complaining for now. Thank you, bye bye.
