10 Perfect Video Games With One Glaring Flaw
4. Halo - Length-Padding Levels
Bungie has long since flown the coop provided for it by Microsoft during the Xbox's formative years, forced to leave its beloved Halo in the talented hands of another, but the legacy it left behind is still felt by every gamer that's ever counted themselves a fan of the first-person shooter.
What Halo did, not just for the genre and the Xbox brand, but for all shooters that would follow in the wake of Master Chief's first footsteps, can't be overstated and it's a testament to Bungie's forward-thinking that 343 Industries' polished remaster, which left Combat Evolved's mechanics untouched, felt just as modern in 2011 as it did a decade prior.
What it also did, accidentally so, was shine a light on the oft-overlooked weak link in Halo's otherwise perfect chain of campaign levels - The Library. Even with 343's fresh coat of paint, Halo's dip in quality amounted to little more than a gauntlet of dark corridors populated by infinitely spawning Flood spores, momentarily reverting Halo's image as a progressive, non-linear shooter back to corridor shooter status.
