Dont be angry, I'm obligated to whip your ass; if I didn't you wouldn't be getting your moneys worth.
Besides the fact that the levels weren't fun save for a few, it was the aspects of the levels more themselves that made it bad. The biggest problem I found was that there were entirely too many "hold and defend"moments in the game. such as courtyard level two, elevator ride from hell, slow moving tram ride, beginning of delta halo, and any other moment when you basically had to stay and fight wave after wave of covenant before you could proceed. Its not a bad thing, its just that it gets too redundant, frustrating, and challenging in a bad way. another example was in Halo CE _Truth and Recon_ when you first get on board the ship and you have to fight wave after wave after wave of dudes before you can proceed. In the newest podcast, they said that it was challenging and frustrating in a good way. I disagree, I hated that crap. So many times I would be about to beat it and some bogus bs would happen and ruin me. Im scared they will put too much of this in 3 and that it will ruin campaign levels. the upside however, is that I think they originally did this because they simply couldn't throw it all at you at once and so it had to be segmented. W/ 3sicky though, I think they will be able to throw it all at us at once, making for a fantastic s hit storm for like 3 min, and then I can move on. What I don't want though, is a three minute -blam!- storm repeated four times with the b itch hand of bungie drop ships assulting me every time im done and want to proceed.
I also worry b/c they also said in the p-cast that 3 was made on lots of BEEr and snacks. Im all cool with them drinking, but I worry that they make these "so called" good decison's after drinking beer. I doubt they were getting hammered but it concerns me that their judgement may have been affected by the beer and what they thought was good is in fact not so.. My aforementioned qualm is my example of the so called good decisions.. Im sure 3 will be awesome though, I just dont want to fight several waves of attackers before I can move on... It gets boring and makes me not want to play
