This was a fucking banger. Compared to legendary on Halo 2 it was piss poor easy but that's not exactly the goal of this game. It goes fucking hard in damn near every mission. Some of those boss fights against the Scarab tanks in those huge open areas were some of the most fun I've had in years. Played it with 2 other buddies who were well-familiar with the halo franchise compared to me so thankfully I had their guidance if I ever got stuck lol. Some of the one-liners in the campaign can be absolutely hysterical, or go harder than a jack hammer on a man's scrotum. And of course the gun play just feels great. Excited to keep going with the franchise (until I hate Halo 4 onwards anyway), and can't wait for ODST and Reach next! Great fucking time even 16 years later.
