Wow, harsh comments indeed. I personally very much enjoyed Halo 1. I utterly and completely loved Halo 2. And I wish I could marry Halo 3 its so awesome. First of, I find it interesting that you (Drag) mention how "the *AI* does better than I do" and consider it a negative. People almost always complain how the ally AI in FPS games sucks and gets killed too easily, you now complain that the ally AI is too good and doesn't die? hehe Just an interesting observation.
Also, in Halo 3's defense, that first jungle level is probably the ONLY level without a very clear path through the level. Not like there are actual branching paths that lead to dead ends though. I actually find all Halo games too linear for my taste, especially when compared to PC FPS's like Half Life.
Again, compared to most other FPS(console or PC), the amount "of shit on screen" is minimal really. Play a 32 online match of Unreal Tournament 3, now THATS alot of shit on screen and chaos and shit...and chaos
And then well for the difficulty in general, I mean..cmon...hehe I realize thats not a very articulate response but...cmon I most certainly do not consider myself a FPS master, yet Halo 3 on Normal or Heroic difficulty is by far the easiest of the Halos. Ample ammo, frequent checkpoints, grenades a plenty, vehicle availability. I believe the developers most defenetly made the funnest game they could.
Legendary difficulty is basically an entirely different game. You stop having fun in this difficulty, and start formulating strategies and honing your skills for online gaming, but its always been like that.
I have no real glaring issue with the campaign mode and I most certainly have nothing but great things to say about Forge mode. 3 buddies + Forge mode + every player can edit mode + explosions = teh fun!!!1
Fun that rivals Super Smash Bros Melee Fun
But of course..
