In Response To: The Art/Level Design in Halo 2 -- What Happened? (Major Silva)
I also posted this at the blog.
I'll list all the Halo 2 wow moments I can think of by level.
Cairo Station: When the other stations exploded, when Gunns died, When you step outside the second time and see the huge covenant ship fly extremely close by.
Outskirts: Hunters bashing through the gate(You can sorta call it a wow moment. On my first playthrough it sure as hell was.), and when the scarab blows the hog up in the tunnel.
Metropolis: When you would run into the scarab as it walked by, when the scarab rounded the street corner and blows the tank up
Arbiter: I can't really think of any unless the Hangar fight counts as one(I don't think it does)
Oracle:Cutting the station down(And the subsequent "OMG the station falling gotta get out" thing)
Delta Halo: When you walk up on the first tower cluster and you can see covenant patrols on the towers.(I think this counts, I'm sorta 50/50 on it)
Regret: The underwater gondolas, when the covenant armada warps in(even though it was a cutscene) and you can look up and see them and High charity, and the Regret fight(sorta 50/50 on it too)
Sacred Icon: The first enforcer you fight and disengage the shield and ride the gondola you disengaged across the trench and watching the shield retract. Also when the sentinel factory is knocked out of the sky when you reach the bottom of the wall.
Quarantine zone: The whole gondola sequence(sorta 50/50 again)
Gravemind:When the In Amber Clad jumps in above you, and the final battle in the Mausoleum.(50/50 again)
High Charity: I can't really think of any
Uprising: Right at the level start looking off the cliff. Also there's just something I like about this level that I can't think of. I just like it.
Great Journey: Sarge blowing the door to the control center.
Thats all I can think of for now.
