I don't actually have that issue with most of the Forerunner interiors, the floor literally has triangle arrows that point to the control room.

If you are skilled you know how to create an opening and start running while screaming, with the adrenaline pumping like crazy every minute, it's such a blast, different than all the other levels. Sometimes I arrive at the end wishing it was longer, especially on legendary. You just have to git gud and not die more than once or twice.

The Library is one of the best levels especially on legendary. It plays like no other level, it fills you with constant adrenaline, rushing through the unknown screaming in terror as a shotgun flood spawned near you, you never know what to expect until you fully commit. Most people just don't feel confident and start camping in the back till the spawns stop making the level much longer and repetitive than it really is when played well. You have to send it and run as soon as you create an opening, your heart will start pounding every minute, the opposite of boring. Plus the constant pressure of slowly depleting your shotgun ammo and resources... Most people haven't reached the skill to properly enjoy this game.

"...if you're (the flood) in halo 2 im refunding the game." Who's gonna tell him.

Halo CE was the first game i completed on the hardest mode so many times it became too easy, so i looked to online PvP for the first time for a new challenge. Being a teenager playing Blood Gulch on dial up are still some of my favourite memories. Good times. Halo 1 still holds up imo and i love replaying them with the MCC now having everything in one place. back when it first came out my computer's graphics card was pretty old and had a weird issue where it couldn't render the invisibility properly in PvP or in the campaign, so any invisible players/enemies it would render as a bright blue flat texture which made them the exact OPPOSITE of invisible lol. It certainly made the invisible sword wielding elites less stealthy. Oh and yes to this day i still remember the PAIN of The Library on Legendary. But it's so worth completing on legendary for the butt grab from Sarge on the Elite. Back before you could just look up the secret ending cutscenes on youtube.

My cousin hated the Library, I remember being over at his house and he didn't believe me that I could beat it, so I showed him. He kept complaining that I was doing it wrong, and wasting all my ammunition on enemies I should just be running past, then I got to the end on my first try, and he just stared at me.
