the campaign is so close to being perfect, but sadly it's stained by the level "cortana", which is a fucking nightmare, even on easy. meanwhile the rest of the levels are really fun, and the gameplay feels really good. but the multiplayer falls apart under poor balancing.

as connected as i am to this version of mc, it was missing so many features at it's time, and tbh, i feel that mc is meant to be played on mouse and keyboard.

this game improves the campaign that makes it even more playable. sure the major flaws are still there, and the brutes are still trash, but the amazing look makes it so much more worth it.
i haven't tried the multiplayer enough to give it major thoughts, but i remember it not being as fun as original halo 2 multiplayer.
the pre rendered cutscenes can be jarring, but they look so amazing that i don't mind them being out of place.

the story is so investing, the gameplay is fun, there are no silly gimmick levels, this game is just story driven fun, ties with halo reach for my favorite game.

this game is SO CLOSE to being perfect. there are so many issues with it game design wise. the phantoms are useless and annoying, and all distance attack based mobs are a pain in the ass to fight.
the design is so unfocused, and i think that if they focused on letting you use more resources in more ways, this could be perfect. but it falls flat in so many ways.

the gameplay is a lot of fun! i just with that they put more quality than quantity into it. and how tedious it is to get loot boxes is stupid and scummy. but i really enjoyed my time with this game!

it's better than the original, but i don't feel like it fixes the design problems.

it's okay. it's overrated as hell, and needs more features, but for a game with such a little team, it's alright. the team needs to hire more, and they need to add voicechat, and other things like that. this game is tons of fun, but needs to add more before something better comes along.

this game's campaign disappointed me, and i feel that it's very overrated. the first master chief levels are amazing and exciting, but the arbiter levels are stressful, and the brutes are a pain to fight.
the multiplayer is such amazing casual fun, that i can recommend it to anyone who wants some casual fun.

this game is great. you could play this for hours. although the 2.0 update made it feel more complicated, and made it a bit more difficult to learn. this game is hours of fun. but i feel that once you play it for long enough, you'll have nothing else to do.
this game looks really good! it's nothing top of the line, but it's really appealing. it also runs great! the first time i played it, i played it on a high end 2012 imac, and i could run it at full settings.

i love this game. it's fun in singleplayer, and fantastic in multiplayer. though there isn't a lot of content to keep you stuck. once i finished it with friends, i haven't had a big reason to return to it for long.
that along side some age, this game has a lot of unexplored potential, and i hope we see it more explored at some point.

really fun! my biggest problem with it is how long the games last for, and how confusing some things can be. but once you're in the game, and you know what's going on, it's tons of fun.

holy crap. the only reason this game isn't lower, is because i enjoy the multiplayer. but my goodness the campaign is rotten. i had a feeling that this would be a bad halo game, but i expected it to at least be a good game. it is not a good game! the prometheans are a pain to fight, and they're focused on so strongly in this game.
this game may look nice atmosphere wise, but there are so many things that distract from what's going on in the game, it's terrible.
this game is a train wreck.
