There was a sense of desperation, since there were hardly friendlies and when there were, they were a fragile commodity to be guarded and preserved lest you be a lone. There was the mystery as to what exactly Halo was. Who were the Forerunners? Why did they build this place? The Covenant had purpose, they had drive, they had menace. Then let's not even forget one of the most memorable moments in video game history: the introduction of the Flood. The Flood were scary as shit in that game the first time you played it, and they were far scarier to fight before they had a stupid, slimy flower start talking for them.

    Halo 2 was herping and derping all over the place; once you started playing the Arbiter, it started getting progressively worse. The levels themselves were garbage, as were the gunplay mechanics. Then there's the AI hacks, the bullocks that was the lack of an Earth-centric story, and the retarded damage sponge they called "Brutes." Brutes were in no way fun to fight in Halo 2, Halo 3, ODST, or Reach. As for the story, the whole Covenant Civil War was paper thin and not executed very well. Prophets getting butthurt that the Elites couldn't stop a super-soldier with nothing to lose causes them to betray their oldest allies? A Gravemind (how the fuck did he not get toasted by thousands of sentinels?). The revelation in Halo 3 that Truth was an innocently ignorant religious sociopath destroys the Covenant as an interesting faction in Halo 2. And the worst atrocity of the entire thing: Elites speaking English. Yay space lizardmen.

    Can you tell how upset I am with Halo 2?
    Well, it's pretty obvious that I'm not going to convince you to repent with words so I'm not going to bother.

    An Earth-centric story would have been shit(see ODST), and the Arbiter levels and accompanying cutscenes are the best in the series. Your views are unforgivable.
