Most frustrating Halo Campaign mission for you?
Which mission(s) of any Halo game frustrated you the most?
The absolute most frustrating missions for me would be Keyes, Tip of the Spear, Forerunner, and Infinity. All have made me want to grab Chief/6 through the screen and strangle him. Sometimes it's about the approach to the combat, but more often (in the case of the latter two) it was a trial and error gamble.

Edited by Sieve: 1/28/2013 6:09:37 AMAs many, many other people have said, Cortana from Halo 3. While the concept was interesting and it was a powerful-ish moment in the story, spending 20 minutes fighting the Flood got very old, very quickly. Also, I'm not sure what the mission is called, but Halo 4's Death Star run seemed extremely out of place in a Halo game. Not necessarily the flight aspect, but the scripted nature of the whole thing. Long Night of Solace from Reach is one of my favorites because of the freedom that it allows.

1 Reply[b]Halo: [/b]Easily Assault on the Control Room. 343 Guilty Spark was awful too, but noting compares to 4 hours of repetitive deaths. The Library was difficult at first but once you get the hang of it it's not too bad. Halo 1 flood is easier than..... [b]Halo 2:[/b] Halo 2 flood....Quarantine Zone was God awful. Halo 2 was my first Halo, and I only played through the campaign on normal. It was pretty easy and ended up being a favorite of mine. Then I got Halo 2 PC a year ago and wanted the Legendary Achievement.....pretty much the entire game was awful. The ones that stand out are Outskirts (Jackals EVERYWHERE MAN), Quarantine Zone (O_O) and Gravemind. [b]Halo 3:[/b] Outside of Cortana, a very easy and fun campaign. And you could speed through Cortana solo legendary in about 15 minutes anyway. [b]Halo Reach:[/b] All in all this wasn't too bad either. Tip of the Spear was meh and so was the level after (The name escapes me....). [b]Halo 4:[/b] So far any level containing large amounts of Promethean Knights. I've resorted to speed running to complete the campaign. What an annoying enemy.

Edited by Dundre: 1/22/2013 2:19:53 PM*LONG* I've read a lot of comments on this thread and thunk on it hard. [b]Halo CE:[/b] In Halo CE [i]The Library[/i] eventually became a challenge and good practice, and I had little trouble with the level [i]Keyes[/i] once I figured out I had to rush to keep the captain alive. Everything felt fair in that game. Most frustrating in CE for me would probably be [i]343 Guilty Spark[/i] just because it felt super exciting the first time and then quite tedious after the third play through.. [b]Halo 2:[/b] It seems to me that I got less frustrated by dying in Halo 2 than Halo 3 because it didn't impact overall stats in any way. But the snipers as many pointed out here were awfully quick at aiming and one shotting you on many occasions in Halo 2. They won't bug you a whole level, but some at some points I had jackal placements memorized to perfection. Good thing they weren't more random. The structure were you encounter a gauss hog in[i] Metropolis[/i], the waterfall area in [i]Delta Halo[/i] and sniper alley in [i]Outskirts[/i] in particular. Most frustrating still, would probably be [i]Quarantine Zone[/i]. I just didn't care for it. Had a blast otherwise. [b]Halo 3:[/b] This game I found was play tested very well. They avoided the earlier weird annoyances. Most frustrating thing in this game were the Buggers, I think. You get fed up with them sometimes.[i] Cortana[/i] takes the cake, though, because of the unskippable cinematic control yank making you have to turtle your way forward. [b]ODST: [/b] For me the most frustrating was the last level. The garbage truck explode so easily, and the very last firefight in this level felt too much like... Firefight. [b]Reach:[/b] I do not like the AA MAC gun thing on PoA. Otherwise I had a blast. [b]Halo 4:[/b] Loosing weapons in sniper valley. I try to juggle three weapons here on Legendary. They despawn sooo quickly. Argh. Only played Halo Wars a little so I can't say.

I had alot of trouble with the first big brute pack on Rat's Nest on Legendary in Halo 3, the one with the hammer chieften. It was one of those ones where you get a checkpoint with barely any ammo. Took me a good couple of sittings to get through that one bit, my heart would be racing when I got down to the final guy and he would be running around swinging the grav hammer in an oversized sardine can. Cortana too - it was also the first time I found out you can just run past enemies in halo and still get the checkpoints, really just shows my desperation on that level to be honest. Finally Halo 2 - Heroic - still not completed...
-
The Library. GODDAMNIT.
-
Keyes? Really? That is my favorite Halo mission of all time, even on Legendary. Dem three way fights with SpecOps Elites. Most frustrating? Probably Gravemind from H2 on Legendary. The start was sooo hard and then you had snipers everywhere and Brute bastards with Brute Shots. I still love the level.
-
2 RepliesTsavo Highway because I managed to get myself stuck at a checkpoint surrounded by 15 Brutes and a Wraith with little ammo. Took me two weeks to get out of that jam and when I finally did I forgot to save before I quit and had to do it all over again. Only took a few days the 2nd time. After that experience I breezed through the rest of the game and haven't had much of a problem with any campaign on Legendary since.
-
4 RepliesI've tried to finish Halo CE on legendary a few times. But I can never get past The Truth and Reconciliation. Once you get in the ship there are like 11 FREAKING GOLD ELITES! IMPOSSIBLE! I've never tried Halo 2 on legendary but I will try eventually.
-
CE - Library H2 - level with all the jackal snipers H3 - cortana The other games weren't hard (H3 wasn't that bad, either)
-
Keyes, Legendary Metropolis from Halo 2... [url=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/560/jackalsniper.jpg/]"The only thing worse than Jackals..."[/url] Cortana from Halo 3. Not because it's difficult, it's just stupid... The final mission of Halo 4, whatever it's called. Those goddamned Knights and their goddamned scattershot/incinerators...
-
1 ReplyPillar of Autumn (Reach) That Elite wouldn't hold still...
-
3 RepliesTruth and Reconciliation or Two Betrayals from Halo CE on Legendary. They are merciless, no health, not enough ammo, and just so many enemies. It wasn't annoying so much as it was frustrating. One screw up early game and the rest of the mission is torture. Pillar of Autumn in Reach was annoying too on Legendary, especially when there were too few ranged weapons.
-
Shutdown from Halo 4. The gondola part was horrendously long on Legendary.
-
Halo Wars - Arcadia City Halo Reach - Pillar of Autumn / Long Night of Solace Halo CE - Keyes Halo 2 - The first Arbiter level (Can't remember the name) Halo 3 - Cortana Halo 3 ODST - None, I love all the levels Halo 4 - The last one (cant remember the name)
-
5 RepliesHow someone can tolerate Cortana is beyond me.
-
[i]Halo[/i]. It's the second map in halo 1. Once you get lost you must start the map over. Impossible
-
Lone Wolf in Reach. I can never beat that cheap shit.
-
I cant be the only one who enjoyed cortana in halo 3? Well its rage quit material on legendary but on heroic the challenge is reasonable. Hard but not something that makes you want to punch your screen and flip a table. I just enjoy breaking into the flood lair and descending into hell. Also the cortana and gravemind moments are interesting since they show how cortana was hanging on in there the whole time.
-
1 ReplyHalo: CE(A) - The Library Halo 2 - The Arbiter, I suck with Banshees Halo 3 - At first, Cortana. Then none. I loved the whole game Halo 3: ODST - none, just finding all the audiologs really pissed me off Halo Reach - New Alexandria - damn Banshees Halo 4 - Infinity, but like Cortana on H3 I got used to it and it is now no issue
-
4 RepliesI still have nightmares about Cortana on Legendary. Goddamit Pure Forms. -blam!-ing Ranged Forms. BURN IN HELL. Haven't gotten around to trying H4 on Legendary past the first two levels. I hit a roadblock with the Knights. Not sure how to best deal with them. So I foresee the later levels being a bitch.

3 RepliesAnybody who says the Library is good with me.

Final mission of Halo 4, after the death star run.
-
5 RepliesHalo: CE - Two Betrayals or Assault on the Control Room Halo 2 - Sacred Icon Halo 3 - Sierra 117 or Tsavo Highway Halo 3: ODST - NMPD HQ Halo Wars - SHIELD WORLD HOW HAS NOBODY MENTIONED THIS? Halo Reach - Exodus Halo 4 - Infinity
-
24 RepliesHalo 2 - Cairo station, 2nd pelican room, legendary. Without doubt the place where I died the most in any Halo campaign. 1 tiny mistake and you were dead. Over ninethousand plasma grenades thrown at you ever second. It was horrifying... HORRIFYING
