I was all this is cool, but then I got to flood, and then I was all like -blam!- this!

I thought it was an interesting surprise. But I'm old school Halo and I ended up not liking it. I came from the time where there was still alot of mystery surrounding the Covenant. You were fighting against this mysterious alien species that was annihilating the human race. Feeling like apart of the story I felt absolute hatred for the Covenant and their ignorant merciless slaughter of my species. Not only did it detract from the wonderful mystery behind the game, I was playing as the conglormate of alien species I despised for killing my race. Not only that, I ended up having to kill my own species to advance the story. I didn't like it at all.

That's kind of funny, Thanatos - The reasons you describe not liking it are the exact reasons I liked the Arbiter part. He's almost a classical tragic hero. Totally unlike the Chief. Always thought we'd be fighting alongside the Covenant before the thing was over, but never fighting as Covenant. Was sure I'd be doing some Half-Jaw sequences in H-3.
