I sympathize on Halo. I always get chased with flamethrowers when I say this, but Halo: CE has not aged well in some areas. A major example being the level design. Yes, the missions are long, and I could take it if the maps were top tier, but the maps tend to be 30-45 mins of identical looking locations repeating over and over, a lot of it with very little enemy variation. It gets really tedious really fast. The only reason I managed to force myself through it after all these years in the Master Chief Collection (I never had an Xbox) was because the story was interesting and the combat in and of itself is good.
