Why We Still Hate That One Halo Level

Halo is an exceptional series. Every gamer should give it a try. Just try not to let the Library ruin the experience.

The library and the flood of 'flood' adds to the challenge of beating the game. Halo: CE is a classic.

Love the Halo series and really enjoyed Halo 5, not crazy about them turning Cortana into a villain.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

The villainous Cortana concept may have been based on a concept that was scrapped from Halo: CE. Originally, Bungie wanted Cortana to go mad due to power and knowledge after she was even access to the Halo’s control room in the first entry of the series.

AI lifespan and there subsequent break downs is a novel concept in a game series. Thumbs up for me..

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

I think the level, “Cortana” is worse than than Libary. As an experienced Halo player, I think Cortana is the worst mission of the Halo FPS games.

Speak for yourself I love EVERY mission level from Halo CE and Halo 3.

[Ricegum]

Of course you do.

[Kiwi66]

Why can't they like them ?

[chiefJohn117]

So what about me shows I love halo 1 and 3 levels over 2,4,5, odst,reach to make you say of course?

I never really minded the library. It does drag a bit-as did other CE levels.
Cortana from Halo 3-as mentioned above is probably the worst level of the series. Good thing it’s not that long!

I completely agree. I actually liked the Library especially in coop with a friend. We experienced many off the wall moments in that level that had to be seen to be believed. And yes that Cortana level was my bane of the series, that really sucked but was never discussed. Halo 1 single player or coop to this day is still my favorite. I hated part 2s because of the way they chose to gimp the weapons. Especially how the plasma pistols charge had 0 effect outside of removing a shield. It played terribly in comparison to part 1, but the MP of course is the star of that series.

"That familiar feeling"

The Library was irritating but The Maw was a legendary finale so it works out.

I hated the Library, but I loved the rest of it. Halo 3 is still my all time favorite Halo campaign, though.

[Pickledpepper]

I really like the library, found it full of suspense, especially on legendary, you basically just had to run and dodge through the whole level because you never had enough ammo.

[Segata]

I owned Halo 1 and played Halo 3. Neither was for me. It felt like the blandest sci-fi ever. How I felt with Destiny as well.

[Pickledpepper]

Destiny I can agree with you on that, just felt there was no point to what you were trying to achieve, but halo was rewarding an halo 1 to 3 had a decent story.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

It didn't bother me at all. Especially challenging on Legendary, the only true way to play a Halo game

[rlow1]

I hated it the first time.....but after playing it a bunch of times, I started having fun figuring out ways to go through it quickly
Loved some of the fights were your forced to stop and fight.....good times

[CaptainOmega]

The library wasn’t that bad. I didn’t like any missions where you had to play as the Arbiter. Glad they nixed that for Halo 3.

[Kabaneri]

I hope they bring back the Flood in Halo:Infinite, it added a horror element to the series. High Charity in Halo 2 and Floodgate in Halo 3 were fantastic.

[rlow1]

At first didn't like it, but the more I played it the more I started to enjoy the challenge of it all. Their so many good fights and one of my favorite moments is in the very last corridor when a big giant group of flood attack. I just lob one beautifully thrown grenade in their midst and watch the bodies fly.....never gets old...lol

[BigTrain]

This gamer gets it!!! The level is filled with "did you see what just happened" moments.

[AuraAbjure]

The Library level is Halo CE is supposed to be scary. If you don't have fun that's kind of how it was designed. It's a very stressful and scary level where the unskilled player will die a lot even in co-op mode. It's extremely rewarding though once completed.
