Halo 2s campaign is an unfinished dubbed down piece of crap compared to what they were presenting prior to release.
Especially playing the game in 1080p makes its obvious issues even more obvious. Ex:
Every cutscene has a flaw. Especially the intro to outskirts like wtf? That and the intro with the scarab if you look to the back you can see where the road just cuts off.
Half the characters in the cutscenes don't move their jaw while they talk (specifically johnson in parts of outskirts and metropolis).
The whole heretic sequence was an abomination. Especially when the BSP's it uses were designed for a completely different mission.
I get confused sometimes because even though the Arbiter was critically acclaimed a good character, I sometimes feel like the story could have went in a way better direction if there was no Arbiter side of the story, period. Now basically, bungie and 343 want to go back and add mystery behind the covenant again. Which you can't do now considering what we saw of them in Halo 2\3. Well bungie not so much considering their last product was a prequel, but still.
Almost every BSP is in some way unfinished. Especially the city levels.
The only things I feel like were done right were the Flood and the Covenant. Halo 2 had such a great style of assets. To bad the lackluster environment's don't help bring it all together.
