Solace’s ability to squeeze all of this into its relatively brief beach section makes it a superior level. The mission’s emotional impact, perfectly refined gameplay, pounding soundtrack, and level design stand up against Cartographer. It might seem sacrilegious to say so, but Solace deserves more credit than it gets. For me, there’s another beach mission in the franchise that is seriously underrated and, dare I say, better - Halo: Reach ’s Long Night of Solace. Yet here I am, head above the parapet, offering a counterpoint to that opinion. Its nonlinear approach, which encourages exploration and lets you complete objectives in any order, tense firefights, and curiosity-inducing plot threads give it a balanced feel that few other Halo levels can match. As the most iconic level in Halo: Combat Evolved overall, you’d be hard pressed to find someone who would disagree. Ask Halo fans what the series’ best beach level is, and most will give the same answer: The Silent Cartographer.
