Okay dudeskis, we have all been giving Halo its due. Its an amazing game, i love it e.t.c. I want to know what annoys you about Halo. Does a particular level drive you insane? Do you find yourself digging your nails into you face because you nabbed a checkpoint with no health and 5 elites closing in? Tell me your views you crazy cats.

the flood, i hated it. I know why they did it, to extend the games playability but they just annoyed me. Partly because the enemies werent hard to kill but u had to waste loads of ammo on them which made killing the elites much harder and less fun as you needed to coserve ammo etc. Anyway thats my opinion i much prefer killing covenant than flood...

The rubbish AI of the marines. Useless idiots that they were.

Oh and the Library. It was like Scooby Doo, where they repeat the backgrounds over and over and over.

lol, yeh, the libary was pointless, it would have been better if they could make it a full blown siege not 1 man against an army of flood. Oh and i forgot to add that when the flood did arrive i wish we could have fought with the covenant as opposed to shooting the flood and then eachother.

Halo would be perfect for multiplayer if they took these ideas from my previously favorite FPS, Perfect Dark:

Sims! Yeah, playing against your friends is better, but its kinda hard to train for multiplayer when everyone is busy, or there is no place to hold a LAN party.

King of the Hill needed to add extra time for having more people in the hill and not add time if multiple teams are in the hill!!! Perfect Dark would add points based on the number of team members you had in the hill at the end of the timer and the timer would not count if the hill was contested. You could have your whole team in the hill in Halo but only score 1 second at a time and both teams score time when there is a battle in the hill, plus the hill blocks your vision sometimes and I hate that cuz a lot of people I play with will croutch and the hill indicator makes it to where you cant see them at first.

More than 2 teams! Perfect dark let you play capture the case with 4 teams. That would be tight in Halo.

I'm sure I have other complaints, but these are my main 3 I guess.

The fact that there were only 2 teams....i don't like to play with some ppl and they don't like to play with me they don't like to play with the other ppl....so it'd be better with at least 3 to 4 teams....green or yellow or somthing.

HALO 2 will rule 4ever. It is Halo and it is enougth. Thanks Bungie, our life will never be the same.

i agree i hate library it is the same all time it is very boring, but i like floods in the others levels. My favorite level is the maw and it has a lot of floods so the problem isn´t the flood but the library

I HATED THE LIBRARY!!!!!! I think the flood are kind of a cool idea but they are f#cking annoying!
I liked the level where the flood was introduced where you would watch the marines video and then they all burst through the doors!
The marine AI was pretty boring aswell!

I agree with Blue i wish we could have more teams. the only other thing that really bugged my was a hole in map i found (kinda). i was playing two betrayals on legendary (of course)
and was doing quite well. then i parked my ghost behind a rock so it would be safe from tank fire. when i hopped out i went into the rock and down through the ground. which killed me. i was so fustrated that i had to stop playing for the day.it really freakin sucked !

No i like the way there was only two teams, it makes it like a real battle rather than loads of different coloured teams chasing each other round like on time splitters, thats moody that way.
I think you should be able to set the kill limit yourself though rather than having only 50 kills, cos now me and my mates are really better than we used to be, it dont take long for us to finish one of those games!

you just made me think of something else. i wish instead of setting a kill amount in slayer that you could set a time amount.

well if I have to say something then it would be the second level halo because I want nay MUST save all the marines so I keep trying for about an hour on the first lifeboat area and not ever being satisfied with the casualties eventually just settle with just making sure black man and/or sargent whitey (whom I affectionatly call the two sarges) live and move on.
just to tell you how much effort i put into saving marines on assault on the controlroom when i get the tank it is full of marines and I dont lose a single marine after that even on the final run with the marines where they cant go on

I hate the level the library and there should be more multiplayer maps with vehicles but Halo is still the best game.

I hated the 50 kill limit, with 16 people that takes maybe less than 5 minutes!
It's dumb, they should add like a time limit and whoever has most kills at the end wins or at least up to like 200 kills.
I mean cmon, I want a long game of slayer, which I can't get on either version of Halo :(
What me and my friends do is put a time limit on the CTF and just kill each other that way but it's not as satisfying as actually times slayer :(

I hate being blown up by a marine,
being run over by a marine in a ghost,
being shot by marines that cant hold aim on the guy I'm fighting,
being told by a marine that I 'stole his kill' on an Elite that would destroy him,
marines' aim being improved when they fight you coz you get mad and start killing them,
marines diving under the wheels of my hog,
marines blowing captain Keyes up on T+R on legendary.

Phew, that turns out to be a lot of things I don't like about marines. A smaller niggle is that there need to be more multiplayer maps.

ROFL JamesW, you really dont like the marines do you? (but i agree with everything you say) they do make good target practise tho.... welll actually no they dont, they just stand there, do some rollie polies here and there, but still, its fun to be american for a few mins and take them all out, and why do they think your a trator after shooting 2 of them, but throw as many granades as you like and they just stand there as if nothing happens apart from them telling me to clean my visor and stop killing their men, AANNDD why are the marines so hardcore when you shoot keys on the pillar of autum, but radically transfrom into wortless little *****s when they land on halo? ah well maybe the human race IS doomed

also i hate how when you've spotted... lets say a jackel with your sniper rifle, line it up so you'll fire through their little arm hole or whatever they are on the side of its shield, and just as you pull the trigger a grunts ran past infront oh him/her, and the targetin circle thingy decided to try and follow the grunt and throws off your shot, :| and how if you stand over a bunch of corpses (theres bound to be some granades lying about) and some cheeky bastard throws a granade your way, they all go off and.... bye bye chief :(.... but hey, it works both ways mwahahaha

but the thing i hate most about halo is how -blam!- amazing it is, and how addicted i am, and how i keep checking the calender for to see how long untill the the 9th of november. hmmmmm 153 days, or 3,672 hours, or 220,320 mins oorrrrr 13,219,200 seconds, then im having a week off work :D

also why is everyone saying the flood is crap, i like having 100000000000000000000000's of enimies to kill, and you dont need to empty full clips into them, shotguns do the job so much easier, BANG! there goes one..... BANG BANG....... there goes a few more..... and on the maw, when they run down the corridoor to the cryo tube control station, just throw granades every so often, as loads of them carrie them (but never use them for some reason) they go off (as i mentions a min ago)..... then the flood in the later stages of life ? explode, taking more with them, of course a few will get through, but my shotgun makes short work of them, you dont really need to use that much ammo do you?

* The repetitiveness of 'The Library'. It had to be done, but it did get quite boring (except in legendary, quite challenging at parts).
* Getting shot by a marine (in gunner) of the warthog in AotCR. I'm in the tank, covenant on one side, warthog on the other. I get ripped to shreds!
* Marines getting off the side seats of the tanks so quick.
* Marines following me EVERYWHERE!
* Marines saying "You stole my kill!" when you kill Elites, even though they'd definately get torn to pieces!
* The way the Marines' aim suddenly gets better when they're firing at you.
* More teams on multiplayer
* More multiplayer maps with vehicle support
* Marines giving away your position

Nothing big, its just the little things that get me a little flustered.
