"Ignorance is a plague."
Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.
I wish ignorance was a plague.

I recently played through H:CE again for about the millionth time. It is still just as good as it always was, even though it is 11 years old.
It seems like you are complaining because it doesn't hold your hand throughout the game? Yes Camo elites are sneaky, because they are -blam!- invisible!
Checkpoints take you back too far? Well no -blam!-, it is a punishment for dying. Modern games seem to be forgetting this aspect with increasing impudence. Also I don't buy your "checkpoints don't register" rubbish. I have played through this game probably about 100 times more than you and have never encountered this problem.
Yes H:CE has some flaws, but to say that it isn't great must mean that you grew up in the current gaming generation where every game is determined to hold your hand throughout.Looks like I've hurt someone's feelings.
I don't have a problem with the camo Elites so much as I have a problem with the checkpoints.
Maybe you like being taken back and having to repeat the same thing again after something so unavoidable happens (like a Flood with a rocket launcher shooting at you when you're occupied with 5 other Flood combat forms), but I don't. It kills the fun when you have to repeat something over and over because of one tiny little mishap.
Yes, the checkpoints wouldn't register. I would often find myself dying and then going WAY back and hitting a checkpoint midway from the point I died. Buy that.
Oh, and Halo: CE is a good game - but nowhere near as good as what a lot of people make it out to be.When you die, there's supposed to be a penalty. 5 minutes of wasted time isn't that bad when compared to other games. (Don't ever play Dark Souls)
