Halo is one of the best games ever made. Without a doubt. But what small criticisms would you give it? It must have some flaws somewhere?

Repetative level design is honestly the only thing I can think of.

Yeah like 'Assault on the control room' was long and then you had to do it again backwards! The library also went too far.

Yeah, basically every annoyance comes from level design, and everybody agrees...meaning Bungie knows this and my guess is that one of Halo 2's strongest points will probably be level design.

Hmmm...let me think...
...
oh, offcourse the repetitive levels and the unbalanced pistol.
...
this is really hard...
Oh, got one myself! : On AotCR, when you're on one of the 2 bridges for the first time, and there are grunts on the bridge on the right, their dead bodies are sometimes still present, when all of the dead bodies on your bridge have already disappeared. I'm really nitpicking now and I know, but I think it can't be very hard to let the game save the grunts that are nearer to the player for a longer time/ distance to the player.

Edit: I think the shotgun's "targeting circle" could have been something more interesting, instead of just a circle. (Notice how I used "could" instead of "should", though...)
Now that I think of it, I still have to concragulate Bungie for creating the needler's targeting (uhhm, thingy? I don't know how it's called, but I mean the thing that turns red once you point the weapon at the enemy). I also love the one of the conenant's turrets. Well, I can as well concragulate Bungie for the one of the BR, can't I ?

The stupidity of the marines. Sometimes they will help you eliminate an entire squad of covenant, other times they will run you over with a ghost. Hell, one time i had a check point where one marine was a millisecond away from running me over. So every time i hit the checkpoint button to go back, i would instantly be run over without ever having a chance to get out of the way. I did it over and over and over and over again because it was so freakin hilarious. I wish i had that on tape.

Hm, now that I think about it, maybe the stupidity of the marines, or just having the marines there, actually makes Halo more enjoyable. I don't think anyone would be able to live one day without hearing Sarge scream, "I'm too pretty to die!"

Wait until I get my hands on Halo.. I mean Halo 2, and I'll tell you.

The one thing that really pissed me off was not being able to pick up: plasma swords and covenant rail guns ( is that it?) and also not being able to get into wraiths. Everything else is as near to perfect as it can be (apart from, of course, level design, but everyones already said that).
