I wouldn't bring any.

In Response To: So you're on a desert island: (Jillybean)


I'd bring some building materials and lots of network cables so all these miraculously stranded HBOers could have an awesome, tropical LAN party. :P

But seriously, I can't really make a choice. For CE, I'd choose Halo, for it's wide open encounters, natural beauty, and its introduction of massive Forerunner architecture. Also, that challenging second encounter by the first drop pod could keep you entertained for hours, and the use of the sniper makes things fun. Second to that, I'd choose AotCR for it's length and massive scale (that's what she said). My first choice might be Truth and Reconciliation, a level which I used to spend summer days storming down Covie hallways when I really should have been outside, plus Under Cover of Night is one of my favorite tracks. However, Legendary might make it more of a chore.

For Halo 2, easily my favorite levels were Delta Halo, and Regret. The levels beyond that usually bring back fairly Flood-y memories, though Uprising was a beautiful level with plenty of opportunities to be all stealthy. The Earth levels were also quite enjoyable. Nothing like sniping Banshees out of the sky while storming across the bridge on Metropolis.

I'm sure most people will agree that for Halo 3, The Ark and The Covenant can't be beat. Cortana can be a grueling, but challenging run on Legendary too.

For ODST, I could simply roam around the city for hours, but that not really a level. Tayari Plaza can be fun, but the last bit with the Hunters and Snipers and Brutes can be tough. I think I'd go with Kizingo Boulevard, though. I love that tank.

As for Reach, I love Long Night of Solace. I adore the Sabre battles, even if they're tough on Legendary. The Package is a great level that encompasses lots of different flavors of covie encounter. Also, Tip of the Spear is fun for it's length and also for the aforementioned variety of flavors.
