Re: So you're on a desert island:
Posted By: Stephen L. (SoundEffect) <soundeffect@hotmail.com>	Date: 2/20/11 3:26 p.m.
In Response To: So you're on a desert island: (Jillybean) : And you can take one [1] level from either Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo ODST : or Halo Reach. But it's the only level you will ever play, ever again. : You don't have any company on your desert island, and no internet connection, : so you will only ever play the level as a single campaign. : Your damaged xbox, as well as being capable of playing only one level, is : stuck on legendary difficulty. : What do you choose? : This dilemma came to me after we were talking about a Halo 2 HD re-release. I : love Quarantine Zone . I love its epicness, I love the story, I love how : beautiful it is, I love its music. But, it can be frustrating, especially : when you break out into the snow and have to get past all the Flood. : While ODST is my favourite game, the levels themselves miss out on the grand : scale battles that, for me, codify a Halo game. (Reach too, seems to miss : having that kind of battle up until The End Run where you, sadly, run : past said battle). : I would consider Two Betrayals or Assault on the Control Room , they're : both good, fun levels. Particularly the banshee sequences in TB, which I : spent many, many hours on - just exploring the canyons. For that reason, I : also enjoy Long Night of Solace . Returning from the control room in the : carrier was one of the most satisfying fights I've ever had in Halo, with : little health, little ammo, and a pair of Elites standing between me and : the door. From that point of view, Tayari Plaza , where I first : encountered the AWESOME Hunter battles in ODST, is a definite favourite : fight. : But if you could only ever play one level, maybe something like Halo is the : one, because of its nostalgia factor? Or 343 Guilty Spark . For : nostalgia, surely you can't beat descending in the bloody elevator? : I think, in the end, if I could only play one level ever again . . . it would : have to be Two Betrayals . Three factions. Multiple vehicles. Good story. : It's very replayable, very fun, even though it has Cortana in it. Gonna go with Cairo Station. Love the station, love the level, love the potential for exploration inside and out.
