Yeah Halo 2 got a ton of backlash when it first came out because fans were not happy when they had to play as the Arbiter for half the game (plus the final mission is an Arbiter mission and ends on a cliffhanger), so Bungie did a little over-correction with Halo 3. Unfortunately it wasn't until after Halo 3 came out that the fans really flipped on the Arbiter and the Covenant storyline in Halo 2. Now Arby is one of the top 5 (if not 2 or 3) fan favorite characters in the franchise, and the storyline in Halo 2 is much more appreciated.

Part of me wonders how Id have felt if I grew up with the franchise, or had to wait for Halo 2. Ill say I was initially turned off from the Arbiter, but only a very short while, and mostly because I wanted to see what the other side was doing (and getting confused in fights).

Finished Cortana, mostly went by pretty quickly, rushed through the Flood when I could, wouldve been too frustrating to try and fight it out I felt.
