10 Convoluted Video Game Levels Everyone Got Lost In
2. The Library - Halo: Combat Evolved
The original Halo is a brilliant and groundbreaking game in many ways, but also one bogged down by one of the most tedious levels in any blockbuster FPS to date - the damn Library.
The Library sees players fighting through four storeys of seemingly interminable swarms of the aliens known as the Flood, and while it's initially quite an ominous setting, it quickly devolves into tedium as you spend an hour doing basically the same thing over and over again.
It is lazy, copy-paste video game padding at its most egregious, forcing players to try and find the path to the next storey while keeping the ever-replenishing sea of parasitic aliens under control.
While somewhat more tolerable when played co-op, it's still a soulless, confusing bore - a level where you'll frequently forget your place and just wish it was over already.
