Bungie.Match.com: Our Johnson knows what the ladies like.

Difficult bosses. Seriously, only Halo 2 and 3 have bosses, and 3's was just insanely easy. It was difficult to not win it.

39) Bypassing enemies without Sprint

40) Cairo Station's bomb room battle

41) Being able to complete some levels without triggering or fighting most enemies

42) Scary fast Flood who have shields, drive vehicles, and can't be defeated without being killed (shoot off their arm, they're still a threat. Shoot off both, infection form pops out. Sneak up on them, get hit by turn melee)

43) AI came to your position in some cases (unlike in Reach, where it's random)

Notice the differences.

Halo 3:

-nearly everything scripted
-can't be glitched (i.e. can't go to bottom and survive)
-had to wait for Johnson to be able to damage Guilty Spark
-no Sentinels
-no Arbiter
-only 1/6 of the room was relevant to the battle
-too short
-besides spartan laser, only rocket launcher and fuel rod gun could damage Guilty Spark

Halo 2:

-plenty of space
-could leave the room in some cases (Regret IIRC)
-glitches, button combos, sword tricks
-enemy AI support for most bosses
-friendly AI support in the Tartarus fight
-had to wait only in the Tartarus fight but you could DIY if you had the beam rifle
-most weapons could damage most bosses

Halo 3 boss battles - The game plays itself
Halo 2 boss battles - The game leaves it to the player and encourages creativity

agree, instead of the usual DIY in HALO, you actually got help to fight the final boss (though they wernt much use since they run straight at tartarus who kills them effortlessly) they still made it more... cosy.

44) main characters - bungie did a good job introducing the prophets, heretics, gravemind... wish they would have still done that in 3. only main characters other then the UNSC/seperatists where gravemind and truth, (dont even get to see gravemind!)

Half of the reason why I even play Halo is because of the friendly AI. I can't stand Flood levels because they're tedious. And Sentinels? Blargh, no emotions. I like playing with buddies. As you put it, it's more cosy. It also means if I worked very, very hard to secure them... I can kill them later to reward them!

And yeah, there weren't much factions featured in H3.

45) Elite Councilors, Honor Guard Councilor

It's a shame that the dead Elites on Uprising were minors when they were meant to be Councilors.

47) the only decent brute shot so far. never understood BUNGIEs decision to cut each rounds damage in half and add 2 more rounds per clip, in HALO 2 it did twice the amount of any other weapons melee (excluding the sword) because of its blade to make up for its limited ammo. it does the same amount of damage in 3/ODST. why BUNGIE! WHY!!!

Honor Guards. Boss fights. Challenging Campaign. Cairo Station is a -blam!- on Legendary.

50) Having Half-Jaw fight by your side.

2) Perfect maps.

I mean seriously, can you ever remember complaining about a map from Halo 2? I know I can't.

I can. Especially Relic, and some other maps had balance issues too.
But Halo 2 had the most best maps.
