The story of Halo is great. I've read both the books. Too bad I don't play games for the story. While the first couple levels were GREAT and easily the best FPS levels I'd ever played, the later ones were tedious and boring. The levels involving the flood just seemed to go on and on and on. "The Library" was particularly painful as the architecture and level design were so boring I could have probably fallen asleep. I mean come on. Visiting the alien ship TWICE? Just to make the game longer. While the later levels did have their moments, they were few and far between. Let's also face facts that when the Flood took over as the main enemy the game was terrible. They were amazingly uninteresting to battle. While the Covenant jumped and ducked and hid, among other things, the Flood...jumped...and stumbled about like drunks. Also I would seriously doubt you're seeing the AI do new things after 2 years, but if you are then good job. You obviously have more skill at noticing little things than I do. To finish, to each his own. I'm glad you like the game. I'm glad people play the game. It creates competition, and competition means harder work, and harder work means better games for all of us to enjoy.
