HATE

Loading Screens.

They are not the worse ever, but Halo 1, and most of those after had NONE during a single player walk-through

That's completely false.

Halo 2 made switching from one level to the next fairly seamless, because the amount of memory that needed to be loaded from cached HDD content was small compared with the speed of the HDD. By preloading the next level to the HDD as you play, load times were negligible.

But all other Halo games have loading screens when switching areas.

Halo 1 only post-caches to make it so you can quickly rejoin a level you played recently, it doesn't pre-cache the next level as you play, so you still generally get load screens from one level to the next. I don't know the full extent of what the 360 games do internally, and their initial load is often slower than subsequent ones, but there are still load screens between levels.
