I honestly don't see why people are complaining about AL. People say it gives the loser another chance but if you really are the better player, you should be able to beat him again. If they complain about it allowing the opponents teammates to help out, what is stoping you from going with your friends or retreating?
Nor do I really, I mean it does get annoying sometimes, but then so did camo, rockets, swords, snipers, and other stuff in Halo 3, and nobody ever really complained about them. I could understand giving it a couple tweaks or something, but there's not really any problem with it.
As for story, as it was it felt a bit like a TV season. Each level was a separate episode with some foreshadowing to what would happen next. Each level was pretty self contained except for a few.
Mhm, I can see where you're coming from. It didn't really seem like a TV season to me, but yeah, I can see how you'd make that connection. And it not as disconnected as people say it is. It's really only the Winter Contingency and ONI SWORD Base you can make that argument for. All the rest of the levels lead directly into each other more or less. Actually it's just about as connected as any other game in the Halo Trilogy >_>
Edit: What is the problem with not showing lots of big military bases? If I was an invading alien I would not attack all the big bases, that's like trying to defend yourself from a mugger by punching his knife.
I would attack outlying colonies like the farms that everyone seems to hate. Hide there, pick off people sent to investigate, cut off the military's supplies. With no supplies the defense falls and the planet is easy picking.
I'd do the same, I mean on the ground it's a bit of a different story, but I wouldn't take my ship anywhere near something like the SMAC array until I had a bunch of reinforcements to back me up. That is what the entire purpose of the Covenant group sent with the Long Night of Solace strikes me as, an advance group sent to reconnoiter Reach and soften up its defenses and such by taking out stuff like Visegrad Relay.
And besides which, we saw much more military stuff than we ever did in any other Halo game. In fact, Reach looks more advanced than any Human place we saw in the Trilogy, so yeah, using the same logic that people calling Reach "some random farmer colony" are one could say that Earth is underdeveloped and is the random "farmer" colony >_>
