Subject: For those of you who keep complaining...

I really don't understand why you are all whining about CE's level The Library. Even on Legendary mode, its easily playable without dying if you are actually good at the game. I've been playing Halo since the day CE came out in 2001. My friends and I are all veterans of CE, and every time I read a forum or an official statement about the remake, everyones always complaining about The Library. Oooh, its the flood. Are they really that scary, or are you just not good enough to beat the -blam!- out of them? I assume you all have used the Shotgun and know how good it is, so I'm not understanding the big deal. To be honest, The Library is one of my favorite levels because of two reasons: I love watching my friends get their a55es handed to them on Legendary, and because I really can't get enough of a kick out of all you little girls crying over the Library. If you can't get through The Library by yourself on Legendary, then all you've done is waste your time with this series.

Agreed, it's a great mission. It's repetitive, but it's what I miss from Halo CE in nowadays Halo games: feeling in the game. It's not with an all over the place pace that you feel like being there, instead, you feel like playing a movie, which is bad. Anyway, it enhance a feel of being stuck there, of being sick and afraid of the flood. Also, I love how it plays like some survival horror, a change of pace halfway through the game, a welcomed one which helps you get acquainted with the flood. And it's the only mission in which the flood is present and are the only enemy. Plus, who don't dig that awesome mood? And it's not that hard really...

I have yet to play it on Legendary (just started my first Legendary run recently), but along with the Shotgun, what other weapon should I carry around? Maybe the Pistol?

plasma pistol. Fire it fast. Almost as good as the shotgun, if not as good or even better. My brother and I both played through the mission on legendary with plasma pistols and we wrecked the flood. Plus, theses pistols are everywhere.

Exactly. I'll admit, I was a little scared the first time I played the Library, and the first time on Legendary was a -blam!-. But really, its isn't like you can't try again if you die. And why is it so terrible to play? Its not like your ACTUALLY going to die or get taken over by an infection form, so whats the problem? And I personally agree, I loved how you went from being a bad ass one man army killing everything in your path, to encountering an enemy you knew nothing about and that actually managed to put you on the defensive. It was a great change of pace for the game, and the fact that everyone complains about Bungie's genius is just blasphemy.

I prefer Shotgun and either Assault Rifle for the infection forms, or the pistol is a good back up if you don't have time to reload. If you encounter a Rocket Launcher however, pick it up for big crowds of enemies. Keep the Shotgun at all times, but its not like you can't pick up another Assault Rifle or Pistol. They are literally everywhere.
