Re: *OT* The Library: the best Halo level

In Response To: *OT* The Library: the best Halo level (Doug Auclair)

: Dear all,

: Jillybean posted the following on the story page: "Asides from having a
: very odd taste in levels, he has some good points.

: Gregory Prill (gregoryprill317@hotmail.com ) writes: I was thinking, after
: playing through my favorite level, the library, last night [...]"

: Gregory, thanks for coming forward, stepping up to the plate and swinging
: away!

: So, I have no idea why Jillybean's (and many others on this forum and
: elsewhere) backhanded remark is disparaging toward the "Library"
: level! There are so many ways to play this level: one can stand and
: deliver or run past nearly every enemy without firing a shot (I think HBO
: has a vid of someone doing the entire level by using only a single
: grenade), or do a bit of both a la run and gun; this level even allows Sam
: Fishering past a set of patrolling flood (343 GS: "Let me lock your
: sorry self in this enclosed chamber so I can watch wave after wave of
: flood pummel you to MC burgers") -- one can back into one of the two
: secluded corners of the chamber, and, in most cases, the flood will wander
: about aimlessly for awhile until the far door opens up.

: And, watching the GNF videos has shown me that there are even more ways to
: play this level.

I dislike the Library, to be honest. Too repetitive for me.

: A close second is the "343 GS" level, I suppose, or
: "Keyes", or "T&R" (I just found a new megabattle there
: that I'll be sharing with Rockslider), or ... well, that's the beauty of
: this game: each level is a work of art and thoroughly entertaining in its
: own way.

343GS is one of my favourite levels. Not for the gameplay, too much Flood. But for the scenery, the subtle cues throughout the level that something is horribly, horribly wrong.

: So, I put it out to you, Halo community: the "Library" certainly is
: the best Halo level in my book. Agree? If not, what's your favorite level
: and why?

Library is personally my least favoutire. My favourite would be either SC or AotCR. Expansive, open, many methods of comlpeteting the level, just fun overall.

: Also, I'm not excluding H2 (although I'm now getting close to logging more
: hours to the game within a game: IWHBYD skull hunt (my favorite variant:
: mano-i-mano swords only) than actually playing the H2 campaign
: straight-up). If your favorite level is on H2, do tell!

For H2, they wouldbe Outskirts, Delta Halo and Regret. So...much..fun!
