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.


[color=teal]Stronger? And needs a better homing? Try running from a needler and duck next to a wall. Those needler rounds will go straight and when you see them they will automanticly change directions and stick you. Some reasons they are a -blam!- to get away from in single player, but Mutiplayer they are very easy to avoid. I don't understand that. But I have killed many people with that gun in MP, each gun is really good.

Everything is a match for everything.

The only real complaint I had was about the e3 videos for Halo. Why couldn't they use all that stuff, instead of leaving it out. If they would of kept all of that stuff, having living animals on halo along with cinmantic fights with the covenant and the Marines, -blam!- I would of dropped that game for a minute. Although, I'm still playing the game.[/color]

The most hated aspect... I would have to say the over-zealous nature of about 50% of the fan core.

There are far too many people who leap down anybody's thrao when they say anything is better than Halo or applaud another game (including other Bungie games). And they have an annoying habit of jumping in on threads totally unrelated to Halo and saying things like "I OWNZ U ON HALO!" or "Halo rules and you all suck ass"

I am currently being rather polite about it, so I hope you guys take this to heart. Think about how your comments are going to be taken by the less addicted members of the forums.

I hate how the Warthog almost always fishtailed when you turned. It looks like they fixed this in Halo 2 tho.

The general consensus is that The Library is the most hated and annoying part of the original Halo. Some corridors of other levels get repetitive, as well, like those in Assault on the Control Room. But I can live with 'em because the game overall is executed quite well.

i dont like how u cant run them over with ghosts, and when they get even close to your in one u die.

though it is fun to try and hop out of one when ur over them and kill them, its harder than it looks

People, people,....I am really surprised that nobody mentioned of the lack of standard settings..Like, setting the volume for voice acting, and the volume for music, SFX, etc. And what of subtitles? Luckily, there's a site that has scripts out there WITH a description of the scene, which brings me to another point.

The lack of a Theater of some sort. I would have LOVED to have viewed the Legendary Sgt. Johnson clip repeatedly, after the FIRST time I did it by myself. the next few days AFTER finishing the game on Legendary, I had to complete it again on Legendary to view it. Now, I realize that, because it is in-game graphics, it really isn't an FMV...but C'MON!! This isn't fair for those who spent about 90mins just to watch 1 FUNNY clip....(note: I do believe 90 mins justifies 10secs of humourous ending)

With that out of the way, I don't think I have any qualms about ANY other aspect of Halo...with the exception of mayble lack of bots in multiplayer...but, yes...Library is boring...but hey, why don't YOU visit YOUR local library, and see how it is structured..Pretty boring if you ask me...Assault on the Control Room....yes...repetitive...I agree...but, each section is slightly different...I wouldn't say 'bad'..now...the INTERIOR for the Assault of the Control room could have been varied..

Scorpion tanks? In wide-usage? Hmmm....Probably on 2 betrayals...THOUGH, that DOES add to the possibility that a damn Combat Flood form is occupying it..Where else would Bungie fit the Scorpion tank? Hmmm...Couldn't be The Maw...not Keyes, not 343 Guilty Spark....The Silent Cartographer would probably be overkill...Truth and Reconciliation? Nah...that's more of a sniper-mission...and the Scorpion won't make it to the gravity-lift..Well...I am out of ideas...does anyone know where you could use a Scorpian tank? I know it would not be in the existing game...Probably based on the novel...

Weapons? Assault-rifle...YES!! Gotta love that big gun....recently finished reading the trilogy, and trying to use the Assault rifle frequently...Weakest? It does the job when it comes to Infection-form flood. Most efficient for that job I think...

How about the fact that you have to dump about a mag and half (from the AR) into a Flood Form to drop it and then, if your lucky, the thing will hop up and smack you in the back.....yeah, fun.

I know everyone already said the marines, but...its really lame how they shot like three round bursts at the enemy and never hit them, but when they turn on you after you kill some of their buddies they kill you instantly and never stop shooting!

Its not that i hate it, i just find it odd that you can melee someone in the back and they die in one hit, but a blank shot to the head with the pistol doesnt do the same.

also, i duno...

One minor thing that would've been cooler in Halo was the animation of the death. There where a lot of times when it would have been sweet to see where my mangled MC corpse landed. It seemed to cut off just too soon. They should have given you the option to watch yourself die, or if you hit a button you could skip it.

I think it would have been cool if when killed by an infection form it blacks out then goes to a cutscene showing MC as a flood, or even control him as a flood where you have to do whatever the flood's mission is.

Yeah, I want better looking deaths. You can put a sniper shot square in the head of an opponant and he'll fall forward . It'd be great if he just got whipped to the floor backwards by his head. It would look so much more realistic. Or, if not that then he slowly falls to the ground with a hole through the head.

it would have been sweet that in MP if the person in front of you got shot then their blood splattered on your armor so then once you were on a killing spre or something you would be covered in blood, plus it would make people think twice about taking you on, also battle damage in MP would be cool so if you got shot twice in the chest with a pistol there would be two holes in your armor, as you can tell lack of realistic battle damage is one thing i didnt like about halo

I hate that there is not either an automatic rifle with a scope or a flood vheicle in the game or multiplayer. Like scrapes of the Pillar. of A. and they build some vehicle but thats just what i think would be cool.

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

The Flood shouldn't have any vehicles (or weapons) as they are too primitive a species to have their own technology.

Their principle of learning is "What the hell is this in my hand? What's with this little thing here?" <Pulls Trigger> "Hey, it fires some crazy stuff that kills those guys I want dead! This beats running over and slapping them to death!"

When you toss a grenade into a pile of corpses, they go flyin' as one would expect, but they swing their arms as though they are still alive. You can have some fun with that, and it really isn't a big deal, but it is a little sloppy.

Warthog, level variety, and MP. I hated MP in general. Maybe it's because I'm the only guy with a 'Box in the neighborhood. Maybe it's because I have only one controller. Maybe it's because I don't own Halo (sad, I know).

I don't understand why everyone hates the Library. I for one thought it was a fun, challenging, suspense-filled level.

Dekedence, Remember the line "I'm sure the flood is already hard at work repairing your vessel. Don't let the flood's parasitic nature fool you. they are quite intelligent"
