woof...theres...a lot to this game?

i've played this game both legendary, normal and multiplayer. i have yet to touch forge.

TLTR: its a good game about master chief, his lil ai friend and his boyfriend on the brink of mental illness

anyway

Difficulty, Traversal and Gameplay
Playing through the normal difficulty, I can genuinely say it's the best way to play through the campaign. It's a perfect blend that complaints the landscape. i think what makes halo works does work here - its a smaller open world asking you to help anyone you see and kill any enemy you come across. it actually made me replay the first game in the series. However, Legendary has the worst balancing issues I've seen in a Halo game. Through legendary, you can see how assey ass the gun play is (shock weapons are essentially useless) and one hit with anything will get you killed in an instant. For your first playthrough, just do normal.

Campaign
There's not much I can say honestly. I did like the story, it's basic Halo and space opera story you can see anywhere. I like the new characters, especially the Weapon. I think she's funny! She's just a lil guy!

Multiplayer
Halo Multiplayer is really a shadow of its former self. It's fun, don't get me wrong, but it's not anything special to comment on, I just like shooting man. Though one thing I REALLY love about this game's seasons passes is that they give you the opportunity to purchase the past season passes and work your way through them. It's unfortunate that they made it that you have to pay, but it's a good idea! I do hope more games (ie Fortnite or Fallout 76) do this option in the future.

You can tell by my score, I really liked this game! I do think 343 finally found their footing somehow, it's not perfect but after the disaster that was Halo 5, I'm glad they had some sort of landing with this one
