I prescribe 'outdoor Halo levels' only for you. :D

Yes they're repeated but I never paid 'that' much attention to it because I was too busy shooting hoards and hoards of enemies.

I'm finding Red Fection 2 is currently my surrogate game for PD. Putting the Bots on hard really brings it up to PD's 'respawn and die' gasp level!
60 multiplayer levels, customisable bots (that can use mines!), any mix of weapons you like and extremely tough to win. But not so hard that you can't progress to 2nd/1st in the space of 5/10 minutes.
Oh and it's fast but not TOO fast.

I don't care how much someone loves Halo, but every indoor area is comprised of about two different textures and three different room blocks cut and pasted to create the level, and if they deny that they are simply being a fanboy.

2nd time through Halo i've found the building interiors a lot less repetetive, probably because I new more or less where to go so it took a lot less time.
Though it was very cheap of Bungie to make the last 3 levels, basically Assault on the Control Room, Pillar of Autumn and the space ship level backwards. I still really enjoyed the levels, but a few new one's would have been a lot better.

I think I was too busy shooting things....

Except for every indoor area.
:P

I watched the DVD with Brute Force and they said they wanted to make it clear which race had built each building. I can see the obvious repetition in the Library but the other levels failed to make any real impression of 'repetition' on me, they seemed like real building to me.

Agreed. However it's accuracy and gameplay are a little too arcadey for me. I'd still rather play PD for the balance of accuracy and gameplay. Also the bot AI really sucks.
