Subject: The Library... Is awesome!

So many times I see people complaining about how much the mission "The Library" sucks. I just played through it again after not playing it for a good 6 years and I didn't get lost once. If you want to talk about a level to get lost in, talk about 343 Guilty Spark (it's not a bad level, it has great story elements but the design could have been a bit refined). Also, The Library it probably one of my favorite missions in the entire game. I love the survival horror aspect of it and the run-and-gun gameplay. I also really like the end when your in an intense firefight with dozens of Flood fighting your way to the index. Sure, it's not a "perfect" level. It gets a little repetitive at time but to me it's still enjoyable.

So do you like The Library? Discuss beloooowwwww...

I agree, one of my favorite co-op missions. You do get lost fighting the flood and being turned around but overall its a fun level.

Haven't played it co-op yet, i would imagine it would be 10 times better than it already is!

Very fun. When you and your best friend are playing it on legendary, it is amazing.

Recon..??

I used to hate the library...only because i was scared of the flood lol
but co-op is super fun and sometimes its fun to run through on MP.
just like the swampy level before, (343) and also 3 betrayals
I liked those 3 levels.

Self-proclaimed genius.
Roam the streets with a sign, "will love for false hope."

YES! The Library IS awesome! :D

You just got Sarged.

Lol. I just played CE's campaign yesterday. I can navigate 343 and Library with my eyes closed. First time playing, though, 343 I got lost as -blam!-! But that's part of the experience. Tense, scary, and disorientating as hell. Keep it the way it is. It's a side of Halo I've yet to see duplicated.

Finally a forum I can get interested in. The Library is amazing for dozens of reasons, including running for your effing life and getting pinned against the wall and having to show how much of a badass you are. When a non-existent fake entity can cause you to feel REAL fear in a video game, then you know Bungie did it right.

Ah, fear, this is good.

I've felt anxious, pissed off, tense, irritated and happy playing CE, and H2 for that matter, but fear......play Doom III with the lights off, and you will know fear! Halo has suspense, for gut wrenching fear, go play a few hours of Doom III, many will wet their pants.

SPARTAN TRAP
asking for mods is not a smart idea.
no bumping.

what is your next game going to be Bungie?

I have found out that when you play 343 Guilty Spark over and over again, you learn landmarks and signs that help you get through it and now I can get through it with out getting lost.

Played this level yesterday. I remember going through it for the first time and feeling very melancholy, scared, and lost. It's all part of what made CE what it is.

Oh and that last door that Spark opened where waves of flood just kept rushing out was one part that I forgot about. I literally got smacked in the face by at least 15 different flood forms!

BLAM!

I personally liked the mission too. There are so many gaming websites that deplore it, but eff them. I loved every tiny thing about this game
