I've always found this to be a pretty good metric

At least one easy way to tell who is/isn't worth listening to around here is by listening to their opinion on the covenant sections in Halo 2. Basically, people who liked it/don't really care are not-automatically-idiots, and the people who write either really long or really short posts on the subject should generally be ignored entirely. I haven't really seen anyone with a legitimate complaint against the levels as a whole yet, because as Arithmomaniac summarized so conveniently above:

: People hated him because
: a) You're not saving the human race while playing as him
: b) It's harder to identify with him - he has personality
: c) It was unexpected

a) The people who hate him have a ridiculously shallow understanding of what's actually going on/don't care to learn new things
b) Are ridiculously shallow themselves
and/or
c) Hate new things (admittedly, it's entirely understandable why the Halo series has attracted people like this)

...gameplay/level design criticisms are a different matter of course, but we don't see too many of those around here. Certainly not directed at the arbiter levels at least, they really were the coolest and most fun in the game. Even if "The Arbiter" (the level) felt like it was pretty much last-minute hacked together :)
