I mean even Halo 2 and Halo 3 struggled to achieve this kind of grand scale again. The closest is Halo 3's level "The Ark"? Or maybe Halo 2's "Delta Halo"?

With FPS combat design, I talk a lot about "the dance" that good enemies and encounters create. Halo's hunters have such a wonderful dance. The dance doesn't have to be hard for it to be joyous.
"Assault on the Control Room" gets some flack for its repetitive level geo, which is fair, but the AI and combat systems hold up so well even in the most basic arenas. The bridges (there are 3) are basically long hallways, but they make great spaces.
