: The end of Assault on the Control Room. You could just fight across the rock
: bridge and go through the next two indoor areas, or you could steal a
: banshee and fight from the air, or you could drop down on the brace and
: skip the indoor areas. At the bottom you had the option of stealing a
: ghost or fighting up the pyramid on foot. There's also a nice easter egg
: there that rewarded exploration, and of course there's also all the fun
: glitches and tricks you could do with the end cutscene. I almost managed
: to splatter myself with a banshee this weekend.
: I think the inclusion of invisible barriers is what irritates people and
: makes them feel like there isn't as much room for exploration.
OK, I thought the issue was just the paths. You described several ways to get the same task complete and some of the variation involved skipping some of the level.
I'd put that on the level with Dutch's mission in ODST. Race through it in a vehicle or go on foot and fight every encounter. There are still a couple of areas to tackle the battles differently if you care to go exploring. Uplift Reserve is a larger fighting area though.
In the end the Ziggurat portion of Assault on the Control room is a fairly physically small play area compared to some in Halo.
