After playing Halo 2 for another 40 minutes or so, I found myself to be a bit bored. I had accomplished one objective in that time and it seemed that I was running around in circles because the level kept repeating itself. Once I killed all the enemies in a certain stage, I would move on and there would be the same exact layout with the same exact enemies. Perhaps I was getting bored because I was playing by myself on campaign, or maybe the game is actually not as entertaining an hour and a half into it, especially when you're just repetitively slashing enemies with the energy sword. In any case the game seems to be drawn out, but that could just be me anticipating the end of the game. Halo 2 is definitely my favorite video game in the world to play, but I guess it can even get a little boring sometimes.

If you were in charge, what would you have done to make the game less boring? Change the enemys perhaps, layouts? Try outlining ideas for new areas and enemy designs.
