This game plays really well for me. I was a bit shocked when I saw some gameplay footage of the beta and thought it was going to mainstream (i.e. COD) but it still feels and plays like a Halo game.

The campaign is a bit crappy, primarily due to the marketing hype from Microsoft and the fact that what is implied in the trailers does not happen in the game what so ever.

Multiplayer is a lot of fun. Currently playing SWAT/Warzone (rank Diamond 4 in SWAT). If anyone wants to play with me add me on xbox live "Lewi meto". I'm going to be online for another good 8 hours or so.

Ha, nice play. That's me just giving SWAT a go now! The game plays so so well - 60fps makes a big difference. Destiny is laughable PVP compared to this!

cu3ed · 27 Oct 2015 at 21:21

I'm going to be terrible in multiplayer.

MOOGLEYS · 27 Oct 2015 at 21:22

I can't believe I'm over half way through the campaign and have nothing to moan about... I need to try harder....

cu3ed · 27 Oct 2015 at 21:27

Actually you over the more slow paced bits then..it just keeps going.

Plays a lot better as you say but it's really noticable where the graphics have been held back to keep it that way.

blairw · 27 Oct 2015 at 22:01

Can't say it bothered me in the slightest - looks nice and clean, i'd like to see some less bland maps but I think that will come in time.
The gun play and how smooth it plays will keep me coming back

Some great cgi cutscene, music, gaming and online multiplayer!

I'm impressed it works after the shambles that was The MCC

I'm confused:
(Minor story spoiler question)

Who are the enemy Locke and co are fighting in the first mission and why are they fighting? They are like androids with robot dogs, they are not Covenant?

The terrible a.i companions perhaps? Wish it was a solo campaign, may aswell be! When i die then just run while getting shot at and all die at my feet! On heroic, can only imagine how frustrating legendary would be

MOOGLEYS · 28 Oct 2015 at 00:16

I have only died once as I fell of a cliff....

The Ai seem OK to me you have to point them a lot but they are a decent enough and talk a fair bit...

To cut a long story short there were the precursors who created the forerunners (who created the Prometheans, the "robots" you're fighting)/humans/covenant and other life forms to uphold something called the mantle of responsibility. Forerunners are like the spoilt child and throwing their toys out of the pram because humans got chose to uphold the matle of responsibility and thus fighting ensures. Not entirely accurate but it gets the idea across
