1. Because of the unexpected events (the outbreak of the Flood, Captain Keyes death, the truth about Halo... etc.
In Halo 2 I was already expecting the Flood outbreak and the Covenant Civil War (there were too many hints) I want something unexpected and terrifying.I can agree here, but did you expect the Arbiter? Did you expect the Flood to arise in that one level, did you expect the big plant? No...
2. No covenant snipers (the Jackal, not the weapon), especially on Legendary, I mean it's impossible without memorizing where each Jackal is. (maybe thats just me though)Yes it is just you, what's the point of the Beam Rifle if no Covenant is going to use it?
3. The Campaign of Halo: CE felt lengthier. (probably because of single storyline, and not MC/Arbiter)Halo: CE had ten levels, Halo 2 had 15.
4. No boss battles (Heretic Leader, Prophet of Regret and Tartarus). Time should be our enemy not Bosses.I had no probelem with boss fights, they wern't hard either, except for Tartarus. We can agree on one thing, no monkies with shields that can stand a nuke in Halo 3.
5. Satisfying ending, no cliff-hangers please.I don't find anything wrong with the cliff hangar, Bungie wanted to end it in Halo 2, but lost time. Plus the cliff hangar shows that there will be a next game.
6. Power-ups especially the active camouflage, In Halo: CE I would reload checkpoints just to do them all over again because they were so enjoyable (being invisible for that extended amount of time and assasinating the covenant is just plain awesome.)Agreed. But the Skulls were funner. But powerups would be nice. Overshield would be best fit. Active camo would only work in Chief levels, seeing as the Arbiter can't be taken out now.
7. I don't want to sympathize with my enemies, don't make me give a damn for the elites and the grunts.I like Grunts...
8. I want that mocking laugh of the elites to return (you know when they have killed you) not some line like "I have earned my journey" or "thus he did smite the demon". And I don't want to understand what they are saying, leave me with the doubt. Make me really fear my enemies. ELites arn't really to be feared, they arn't evil, they believe they are good and noble. I mean look at medivial knights, they arn't scary in a monster way are they? Leave that to Brutes and the Flood.
9. Give me some napping Grunts to slay silently so their dreams will never end.Nice. There were some sleepers in Halo 2, but yes more sleepers would be fun.
10. I thought of a tenth: co-op on Legendary, I liked it more when my teammate could spawn me. Legendary is supposed to be easier when there are two players, but instead there is less ammo and twice as many chances of getting killed and restarting the checkpoint. OK, that's enough whining though.Legendary is supposed to be hard, it waas cheap to send your teammate in over and over. In Halo 2 you have to think.
Just voicing my counter. No flaming.
The levels are 13, Cutscenes shouldn't be considered levels. And certain Levels like Delta Halo and Regret I see as one, also Outskirts-Metropolis and Arbiter-Oracle.
Put the emphasis on the Elites and not the Grunts (My mistake)
Thats the problem, they believe they are good and noble, and thay are so why should I kill them?
And about Legendary: How about no Legendary medal for co-op mode (so no false bragging rights) but bring back the spawning. Just to make it fun, or possibly the option at least.
