Oh shit, intriguing developments. Sucks to have to go through the level again.

edit: Oh wait they skipped ahead. Fair enough, shitty level is shitty.
 
If someone leaves the game in Halo 3 the lobby is closed instead of moving to a new host.
Oh, thanks. I feel like I'm asking too many questions. I'm sorry.

Well. It seems like they skipped ahead somewhat? Maybe I should watch a playthrough of that. Flood levels in general seem to be slogs.
 
It's so weird to see levels like Tsavo, the Ark and the Covenant in the same campaign as this level. Such a huge discrepancy in the quality of the layout, pacing, encounter design.
 
Good lord, they just keep coming.

Yep. That's the main problem with these levels. I actually enjoy fighting the flood. They make for a nice change of pace from the Covenant. But when you fight only Flood for so long and it's easy to get lost, it gets tedious really fast. Floodgate, the first Halo 3 flood level is pretty fun. It's quick and doesn't overstay it's welcome. Cortana and the Library on the other hand...
 
What was up with this level design?

Plus Drew was blinking a lot back there. :P

Cortana was really bad, just from an observation standpoint. Enemies coming to you all the time, and the level map design certainly doesn't help at all. It starts feeling very one-note. If they were doing it on Legendary, I dread how long it would've taken them. Plus their fatigue didn't help.

Edit: This level seems better partially because it isn't as narrow or closed (ex: that odd FOV part) as the other one.
