Halo is a really good game right up until it isn't. I think it's rightfully earned it's legacy as on the the xbox "classics" but mostly because people only really remember the first half of the game. In the first half the campaign has a huge variety of levels with wide open spaces and fun combat, but the second half of the game introduces the flood... which... well...

Ok so just straight up, the flood are not fun to fight, they're gigantic bullet sponges and when the game throws 12 of them at you in a cramped hallway the game becomes an exercise in frustration.

Still, for what it's worth the first half of the game is still pretty fun! And worth checking out if you've ever been curious, just don't feel pressured to keep going when the fun stops.
