    It's like when they were designing this level, someone at Bungie said, "I've got an idea; let's take the worst parts from The Library, apply them to Gravemind, crank them up to eleven, make it as claustrophobic as The Pillar of Autumn, make the terrain anti-geometric and unlevel just to make it extra disorienting and so the sniping pure form Flood have a dozen different angles to gun down the player from like it's _Gunfight at the O.K Corral,_ then add our brilliant, convoluted, 'we're so secretive and mysterious, tee-hee' flashes from Gravemind and Cortana in between *literally every single room* that slow the player down to an unskippable crawl just to spite those damn speed runners. I'm a genius!"
    Shortly after the release of Halo 3, that person was then hung by their entails and their corpse paraded through the city.

      I like this mission, it scared me as a kid, is full of story, and feels badass as hell when it is so chlostrophobic and unrelenting and your ammo is getting low and cortana says she sees a freindly ping... bro cortanas a great mission, halo 3 was lit. And only reason the library is so painful is its ridiculously long and repetitive

      the cortana stuff made halo 3 the worst of all halos in my opinion i even hate it more than 4 and 5, it was a great story when played for the first time, but gives me absolute cancer since then, dumbest design decision ever made by bungie

    If you die in the pelican room you have to listen to cortana sobbing every time you reload the checkpoint. When learning the speedrun, I must have heard her sobbing like 50 times and it gets weird when anyone else in the house hears a woman crying in the basement every 30 seconds for 20 minutes

  • @DaThnikkaman27
    @DaThnikkaman27 9 лет назад +107

    The thing that really kills this level for me is the nonstop application of Cortana moments. Nothing says 'unfun' like being forced to stop for 5-10 seconds so someone can babble some cryptic nonsense, and this level has ELEVEN of these things. All the other missions combined share thirteen between them, and half of those (Crow's Nest) are only 2-3 seconds tops. The rest of this level's problems can be circumvented by being patient and using the right weapons and tricks (Brute Shot DESTROYS Ranged Forms). The fact that multiple people thought up and programmed this gimmick, then said 'Yes, this is exactly what the players will enjoy!' simply boggles the mind.

    The engine room part where you have to destroy those things, you were right, I did get more consistent but it still too a while. Also the fact that right after that kinda miniboss style part is another part of parkour and there is no checkpoint for a bit after that as well, It made it sooooo tough to get past.

      +Halo Master omg thank you so much for the advice man!!! What a brilliant idea that anyone who finds one of the hardest things in the franchise hard should never play it again!! Doesn't matter that im a pvp player and a forger, i found it hard to do some pve on legendary on one of the hardest missions so I obviously dont deserve to be part of this wonderful, loving community you want to have where halo gets no sales and ends up dying in a hole for all eternity. Cheers mate!
