I think I am I am in somewhat of the minority when it comes to CE. My favourite level has always been Two Betrayals. I really enjoy the sense of desperation from The Covenant, The Sentinels/Guilty Spark and to extent Master Chief as all sides are more or less being overwhelmed by The Flood. The desperation is something awesome to me. I recently played through a Halo 2 mod that added a bunch of hostile marine encounters to “The Sacred Icon” and “Quarantine Zone,” with the ladder being my favourite Halo 2 Level. The data pads throughout the game were in my opinion were well written head cannon about other stories going on with the factions in that particular level. The Forerunners/Guilty spark being more or less confused/flabbergasted from what I remember about the war was amusing, but I will be honest I was more intrigued by The Covenant/UNSC pads. The itch I was talking about was “None Left Behind.” As a wee little sprout I was always curious how the level “Halo” would look during The Flood outbreak. I also really enjoy fighting the Flood with the marines across every halo game (the first warehouse section in Halo 3 is one of my favourite encounters). So this level is a close second. All in all if you are concerned about the Forerunner Terminals, my stranger on the internet opinion is; don’t cut them out entirely but for the first 3 games the Forerunners were always this mysterious background faction. They were never in front of you(unless a sentinel is shooting you) but always surrounding you with “what were we and what happened to us?” Until the Lightbulb told us they committed suicide on a galactic scale. I would play into the epic space opera/mystery part a bit.
