  Cortana is worse imo. At least fighting the Flood in Halo CE was fun and responsive

  the only thing i didn&apos;t like about campaign evolves library is you didn&apos;t see that massive swarm that you cant ever hope to win against chasing you at the end when your finally making a b line to the index

  I never felt so blue balled when the final door opened and the massive horde wasn&apos;t there and it just snapped to the cutscene. <br><br>I always hated the library level when I was a kid. Especially the part where you were locked in for what felt like an hour. Now its one of my favorite levels for its intensity.

  My counter for liking the new &quot;going down into hell&quot; on the library is that 343 Guilty Spark is supposed to be you going down into hell. Library feels like you start in hell and then make your way up to salvation in the form of the index.

  My favourite part of the Library Remake is the rocket flood reveal when the elevator stops. The devs knew how infamous that mfer is so to give him a mini-mini-boss moment for the first encounter was perfection.

  I will say that when you look at forerunner structures as a whole, the library makes sense in the original halo combat evolved. The tunnel section in the Mission &quot;Halo&quot; shows the scale of things very well. It all felt purposely large.<br><br>The halo tunnel systems, the myriad of: structures, facilities and structures in assault on the control room, the beam array structures from the halo mission, the entire flood research structure of the 343 Guilty Spark mission. When you take a step back, the size fits: big, confusing, mysterious.

  i love the idea of both going down and having flood biomass getting worse as you go deeper, it breaks up the sameness of the level but it doesnt help that the flood arent as much of a threat

  Flood AI is the biggest flaw of this game. I could overlook most of the issues but this one has made my experience worse.

  It would have helped the intensity a lot in this game&apos;s favor if the Flood had the aggression of the Halo CE ai instead of their Halo 3 ai; they just aren&apos;t rushing at you, or sprinting and flailing like Kermit the Frog in some elite combat forms&apos; cases. The Halo 3 combat form ai of walk and shoot at you, sometimes run at you when you get close doesn&apos;t really work with the intensity of CE.

  Was doing a first time Legendary run and the Library was one of the easier levels which made fighting the Flood feel less of a threat than the Covenant.
