	In Response To: Air of grievences (Spoilers) (Alfred Mordeir) : I'm sorry, I really am, but Halo was grossly dissapointing. For the following : reasons. I admit, none of these complaints are new to this forum, but I : like to think I'm adding a new perspective to these complaints : 1. Too Short. And if that's not bad enough, the last three levels are all : reduxes of previous levels (Forrest Gump impression) "Then I boarded : the covenent ship, again, to save captain Keyes, Again." : 2. The story. Why is everything always so urgent? Couldn't Bungie have added : a few more breaks in the game when we could have sat down and explained a : few things. I mean what is the point of desighning models with working : mouths when you only stop to talk a handfull of times during the game. and : then there's that level "The Library" I was expecting this level : to be more like "Hard Stuff rules" where we get to read up on : what the hell is going on I mean that would have made for some grade A cut : scenes. But no all it is is us battleing wave after wave of flood while : that *insert vulgar descriptive noun here* Monitor babbles on about stuff : I can't even hear, whitch brings me to my third complaint. : 3. Monitor *limp wrist swag* (if you know what I mean) : 4.No closure. None what so ever. I mean what was the whole friggin point of : the stupid game? I thought this was suppose to be the desideing battle of : humanity. Do we gain anything? No. Do we know the location of the Covenent : homeworld? No. Is that bastard Monitor burning in artificial intelligence : construct Hell with Tycho and Traxus? Apparently not. I know that Bungie : wanted to leave an open ending to make way for sequals, but did they have : to be so blunt about it. Open ending are fine, as long as you CLOSE : SOMETHING. WHAT WERE YOU BORN IN A BARN???? : Final thoughts: Frankly I thought the whole thing with the Flood ruined the : whole story. They should have stuck to the whole guerilla war thing, and : kept the original assumption that the ring was indeed a weapon in the : classical sense. I know not much room for plot twists, but lets face it : this is where twist FLOPS. : Lastly I'm sorry again for being so bitter, but please understand that I'm : set back half a G to play this game. If indeed the PC/Mac Version is more : up to speed with what the average Marathon Fan deems acceptable, I might : plop another $50 down the coin slot. But it better be damn good. : Well anyway, happy Festivus, with the completion of the Air of Grievences I : welcome anyone with contending POV's to join me in Feits of Strength : Alfred Mordeir : P.S. Death to Monitor You can bitch and moan all you want, but I never understand the 'I paid $$$$ for this!" complaint. No one forced you to buy the Xbox, and there are certainly ways of playing the game without having to buy it. Many people played the game either via rental, thru a friends Xbox, or by hogging the demo unit at a local video game store. I think what I'm trying to say is blaming Bungie for poor spending of $500 or so is unfair. What also puzzles me are complaints from Bungie fans of level repetition. I mean, it's not GREAT that the device is employed in the game, but are our memories so short that we don't remember previous Bungie games that did the same thing? PiD immediately comes to mind. Even Myth revisited certain levels. Frankly, I think you went in with your expectations raised way too high. Do me a favor and play the game in Heroic or Legendary and tell me your thoughts on that. - Miguel
