Yes, there is much love for the game Halo, but is there one thing that you wished could be changed? Like getting a pistol during Truth and Reconciliation? Or a smarter Marine Corps? What sucks about Halo in your opinion?

1) Poor save options. The xbox comes with a 10GB hard drive, it can afford the space to let me save any place I like. Especially bad in co-operative, no saving at all there.

2) Marines are way too stupid. Simple logic like: when the alpha-soldier is firing a sniper rifle don't stand directly in front of him. Or don't throw grenades into the midst of your troop.

3) Library gets boring real quick.

4) Lack of alternate endings. Yeah, I know 'Legendary is different'. Not really, no. It's a different cut-scene but the game outcome is the same. I'd like to see a different outcome depending on how well you play the game; like other survivors if you're quick enough or keep anough marines alive; or losing Cortana if you're really inept.

Yes it can, but obviously Bungie decide to make it challenging by NOT LETTING you. Saving any time you like is sort of cheating, if you think about it.

i hate that the marines shoot and throw granades at you but if you kill 2 marines in co-op you have them firing at you (kinda fun though)

Marine's and the AI in general is a lot smarter then your average FPS. It's just marines for so darn SLOW!!!

Example: "There he is!" dududud...........dududud.........dudududud........ARGH! *falls over dead*

The captain shot his needler about 100 times faster then the marines did. Why is it that the shotgun, sniper rifle (and occasionally, plasma rifle) marines fire at a "normal" pace while the others shoot like the trigger's stuck in mollases!??

Grenades arn't a problem for me. They usually throw them just fine.

But by the looks of things, the marines actually use up the ammo clip in less then 2 hours in Halo 2.

I hate how Halo is almost perfect and has caused my grades to drop and for my relationships with people to diminish, (except my halo buddies).

Only thing I hated was that the needler sucked. It was a great idea (exploding needles) but it didn't fire fast enough. Oh yeah, the plasma pistol's lame too. And the sniper rifle needed a bigger clip. Master chief didn't run as fast as he's supposed to.

The Library, stupid Marines, and the ablity to not be able to get to the main menu in the middle of story mode without using the 'save and quit' option.

Some scenes are simply too repetitive (Library) and lack of ability to change options without losing progress (e.g.: Change turning speed).

My 5c about above: I personally think all weapons (except MAYBE for assault rifle) are good, just don't use them for what they're not meant to. The plasma pistol has the highest fire rate amongst energy ones AND includes auto-aim, you don't get that with any other. However, not as good against jackals (unless you deplet the core by overloading it and then you're left without a gun quick). And the needler? Just don't use it where you need rapid fire but it is the best for "fire and forget" situations (e.g: Ideal for the stupid flying laser robots and/or a rebelious elite that just won't die).

* Marines and their crap accuracy. Not like I need the Marines' help, its just you can't leave them alone to mop up the dwindling Covenant. Its quite embarrassing to think these guys have actually been trained to fire the weapons that they suck so much with. If they were half as good as when you turn on them, then I'd be happy. I hate their aim and timing with grenades. Nothing like blowing the crap outta me when I'm just running in to storm some Elite behind a rock (Silent Cartographer).

* I want spontaneous gaming, let me explain. In my perfect world, once you've completed Halo, you can pick any level you want in general, BUT on your character you must start again if you want to play the whole story through. On playing, if Sgt. Johnson dies in Halo (2nd level), you don't see him again (same goes for any Marine). Save lots of Marines, have lots of Marines for backup in later levels. I suppose what I'm trying to get at is this: How can you complete Halo (2nd level) saving no survivors, then storm the Truth and Reconciliation later on with lots of troops?

* Not bots in Multiplayer. I know it would probably be a little crappy but the thing is, I only have 7 Halo gaming friends and they aren't always available to play. I sometimes feel like kicking a little butt in Blood Gulch or owning someone in Hang 'Em High and its usually when no-ones around. I'm a little bored of campaign so I would've liked to have access to Multiplayer all the time, just using bots when my friends aren't around.

Woah. Who said the plasma pistol sucks? The plasma pistol has saved my life a number of times in Legandary.

OMG yeah, those are some good gripes. I disagree with the any weapons sucking. They do there purpose. But the assault rifle is the weakest weapon once you play legendary regularly. I really really hate playing multiplayer and getting paralyzed with a plasma weapon. But its sure damn fun to do to someone. (evens out I guess). Well, in Halo 2 I sure hope they fix all our complaints.

Only two teams in multiplayer. And you should be able to have more than 5 lives

The assault Rifle is the weakest in Legendary? No wonder I have such a rough time! I use that and the pistol nearly exclusivly! (In the books Master Chief John had a disposition against Covenant weapons, so I do not use them. Hehehe.)

I don't like it when you can't get the shotgun before you meet the flood. Also the needler, Bungie should of made it a lot more stronger and home in on better.

The Invincible Marines, so what if you kill the catpain, the piolets, the people pressing buttons to make it seem more interesting. THEY SHOULD'T SEND INVINCIBLE MARINES!

I hate 2 things.

1. I hate that after months of playing no FPS's except Halo and the Marathon tril, I went out and bought a copy of UT2K4(because I have heard all kinds of good stuff aobut it) only to find that it blew. I hate that I have lost my tolerance for mindlessly violent videogames.

2. I also hate that the shotgun reloads slowly. At least, it is slower than I am used to. Its a minor complaint.
