I thought POA had some of the best soldiers on Reach ( it was in the booklet I think.) Also there wasn't enough actual suspense building. On halo 1 when you see the flood you are fight ing the covenant and cant make it out very well, but when you go inside there is all of the dead covies, and that crazy marine who keeps shooting you and talking about the flood attacking them. That made me almost too scared tol play that level alone. But in Halo 2 there's too much action, and it's not as scary, it's like oh no the flood... boom boom... nvm.
I loved that level for that crazy stuff. The downed pelican with the garbled transmissions, odd friendly blips on the radar, the occasional shadow of a marine illuminated on the cliffs... and that's just outside! Then you come across the scene of the grunts and jackals hauling ass away from frag explosions and assault rifle fire... but nothing's there. The green slime, eerie music... that was an awesome level.
