It's what Halo 2 should have been.

I'm too blinded by nostalgia to dislike Halo 2... The only thing about it that hasn't aged so well imho is how there's something like 5 or 6 segments where you're fighting off waves of enemies on a slow moving gondola/elevator, which is especially odd considering how there aren't any sections in Halo 1 or 3 where you do that.

Some of them weren't so bad if you brought a sniper rifle since the enemy usually didn't have snipers so it gave you a chance to soften them up. But elevator/rail car/whatever segments are really bad in every game

Isn't there a whole level of fighting guys on elevators in halo 1?

You fight guys in hallways and go up elevators, but not both at once.

Is halo 2 the one where you ride a elevator going down and lots of enemies fight you on this tiny elevator?

Those loving elevators that are huge platforms going up and/or down a slanted shaft are a sure-fire way to tell when the game is going to get annoying (if it hasn't already).

e: I don't remember if Halos had any. Maybe they're not futuristic enough :shrug:

there was one in half-life 1. it dropped headcrabs on you. took maybe 30 seconds, though, so idk if that counts.

It was early in the game and the headcrabs were easy to kill so it wasn't terrible.

Xen and On A Rail were worse.

Hey, remember that part in Halo where they were gonna blow up the galaxy with Halo but then they didn't blow up the galaxy with Halo?

Or that part in halo 2 where they were going to blow up the galaxy with halo, but then they didn't?

Or that part in halo 3 where they were going to blow up the galaxy with halo, but then they blew up that other thing with it instead?

Just beat Reach again for the first time since it came out... Bungie's message at the end of the game, with the intro of Halo CE going on in the background, really brings home the feels.
