A true masterpiece of a game. It is not only my favorite game in the Halo franchise but is my favorite game of all time. The campaign story of the tragic tale of Noble Team is near perfection and sends out the Bungie Halo games with a bang. Each member of Noble team is iconic in their own right and serves their purpose with unique personalities and what they bring to Noble Team. The armor designs of each member also work with each members skill sets and personality. The mission design is almost perfect apart from one or two mishaps (Long Night of Solace on Legendary to be exact). The soundtrack is phenomenal with a blend of exhilarating, dramatic songs while also containing somber tones. It perfectly resembles the losing battle Noble Team and the UNSC forces on reach are fighting. Graphics still hold up and look incredible on both Xbox and on PC with the Master Chief Collection. While multiplayer is lacking in terms of core mechanics (Armor abilities were hit or miss and bloom is divisive), the custom game scene is the best it has been in Halo and the armor customization and progression system is incredible and rewarding. The sandbox did lose very iconic vehicles and weapons like the Chopper, Prowler, Oliphant, Battle Rifle, Mauler, etc but it made up for the losses with great vehicles and weapons being added such as the Falcon, DMR, Grenade Launcher, Plasma Launcher, Concussion Rifle, etc. While the servers were still up on the original game, it constantly gave players something to work towards. Unfortunately, this system hasn't been replicated by other Halo games and other online multiplayer games in general. This is my favorite game of all time and will never be topped. #RememberReach (Also Noble 6 is alive in a cave)
