Current Events > Assault On The Control Room is the longest, most boring level in FPS history.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Holy mother of fuck im playing through Halo 1 for the first time and this level felt 5 hours long. It was the SAME buildings and SAME setpieces OVER and OVER, and they were all freakin identical so you better be paying close attention or else youre going in circles. And there were sections that were just stretched out and long for no reason.

We had a rough period of more hours = better game and im glad thats starting to fade.

Halo was never good.

I've been saying this for years (the campaign, MP was awesome)

Any area that was big that you felt like you were slowly chuggin along was bad.

The campaigns honestly get much better and better as the series progresses. Just finished the entire MCC and they improve so much in the later games, makes it worth it. Stick with it TC.

Halo 2 is just pp and br all day...

The actual gameplay is fantastic, but my God some of these levels are brutal. Like its just looooong stretches of enemy waves in the same repeating buildings, hallways, giant open areas, without any clear objective besides get to the end. Definitely a product of its time.

I bought the MCC and Halo 5 all in one fell swoop with the insane Gold holiday sales with the intention of playing through everything, but part of me thought Shit, should I just skip over to Halo 5?

I've always loved that mission. For me, it's really just the interiors that are stale to navigate. The outdoor sections are awesome and were always some of the defining moments of the franchise to me.

The level design is definitely the weakest part of the first Halo. Personally, I think the first 6 missions are fantastic. It's the final 4 that are not all that great. Fortunately, it's an area that every one of the sequels improved on.

I played through MCC recently and yeah that first game had some really annoying ass levels that just drag on.

Actually now that I'm thinking about it I don't even remember most of the story of the games now. Just that the final mission on a couple of them ended with pretty similar themes and 2 had a really outrageous soundtrack.

yeah I am halfway through halo 3 now, and I feel like the campaigns have gotten progressively better in each game so far. Halo 2 was a MASSIVE step up from the first game.

RIP tc's sanity when he gets to the library
