While I agree that trying to make a trilogy is a recipe for disaster, sometimes you can't tell a whole story in one game. Half the problem with the Halo games is that they tweaked the mechanics of the game at every opportunity. That resulted in a no-fun experience. Then they tried to get extra serious with the story, and that finished it off.
tl;dr: They are trying too hard.
Saw this on N4G:
"Leaked" news:
Not sure if real.
I don't know about you but I always felt like the pillar of autumn was just a typical sci-fi game and it wasn't until you crash land on Halo that the game took on it's own beauty.
E: aimed at Warsaw.
Maybe, but it was still one of the most fun levels of the game. Halo 1 is "eeeh" about which level is the most fun, but the first level is definitely the most fun in all the other games.
I think it might have something to do with the overabundance of ammo always present in the games' opening chapters.
Didn't you hear? A new halo game every 3 years is too long, they're trying to go the COD route :downs:Quote:

If it's someone claiming they have insider information, then don't believe it until it's proven. People have been doing this for the past decade. Wait until an official source gives the actual details or confirms those details.Quote:

Being tutorialized and saddled with bullet hoses for early portions of most Halo games has never been the reason I kept playing. POA and Cairo Station were fine in this regard. Sierra 117 and Winter Contingency took too long to take the training wheels off. I don't even remember what the first ODST level was.
There is no "first ODST level", but if you want what they intended as the first, it's the Plaza (playing as Buck).
As for Sierra 117, I get a kick when I have a Needle Rifle and Needler and can efficiently clear the entire canyon in a couple minutes WITH some assassinations mixed in. Winter Contingency was awesome because the layout was perfect for setting up assassinations and you can precisely dispatch Grunts with that over-abundance of assault rifle ammo.
