Halo Reach: Pros, Cons, and what did you miss?

Since we havn't been up to much lately I'm going to throw this out here:

Since i think all of us here have been playing halo reach i ask what did you find laking in the game (gameplay/story/other)?

Personally i was really disappointed about there not being any flood, i love/loved the flood in halo 1/2/3 and was quite disappointed when they didnt appear in halo reach, i know they wouldn't have fir in to the story but couldn't bungie at least have added some for of "flood" firefight mode?

My other complaint with the game: why the fuck didnt we get to go crazy and kill some scarabs! I LOVED killing scarabs in Halo 3.....

Last but not least, why didnt we get some form of elephantish vehicle/s in multiplayer! the elephant is epic couldnt they have had it on a forgeworldish map, and maybe even added a covenant verion? (like a scarab without the scarab beam)



So what did you guys find lacking?

Flood would have made no fucking sense. The only way that I wanted them in any form would be to see them in Reach's graphics and how they would play with Armor Abilities/better AI.

My only real complaints are:

1. There weren't enough visuals of Reach being destroyed. It's just one level, the planet's fine, the next one, some of the buildings are messed up, and suddenly everything is barren and glassed. I want more cruisers flying overhead, glassing all around me.

2. The medal chest is fucked up. Perfections are apparently less amazing than the sprees it took to get them, and first strike is always, ALWAYS, the top medal. That's fucking stupid; no one cares who got the first kill.

3. I wanted some chill time with Carter. You go one on one with every Spartan but Carter. I don't think Carter likes Noble 6.

4. Tip of the Spear was a cocktease. The level's good but I hold a grudge for seeing this huge battle and then not being able to take part.

Everything Paul said except for the flood. I think it would pretty cool to have flood in firefight.

I'd agree, but it'd be impractical simply to overhaul and redo a whole species and its AI just for one gametype.

I sorta agree it would be cool to have firefight with flood, but like Paul said it would be impractical and also doesn't really fit.

One thing I think bungie should have done with flood models ever since Halo 3 was make it so in infection your player model turns into a flood version of your model.

But no...

Yea that would have been awesome!

Get haunted helmet. Get pestilence.

???

Profit!

Pros: IDK
Cons: Not on PC
What I missed: A PC port, preferably of Halo 1's quality.

I have yet to actually play Reach. Well, I played multiplayer during the beta but that's it. I dunno, Halo doesn't really excite me anymore... all that obsession with Halo 1 burned me out I guess.

True, I mean I am more excited about Duke Nukem than I ever was about reach lol.
