Just finished the story and have a few thoughts regarding it (spoilered for obvious reasons):
1. Gameplay is as good as ever from a Halo game, it feels more polished than most FPS games.
2. The score and all the sound effects are superb, really top notch sound work.
3. The guns are fun and varied, but I don't remember them running out of ammo so fast. It's annoying there isn't more ammo for the spartan weapons, I spent probably 75% of the story using either covenant or forerunner weapons even though I prefer the spartan weapons.
4. The storyline isn't particularly engaging, certainly not as good as the other Halo games imo. The marketing material for it is also quite misleading. There isn't really that much of a conflict between Master Chief and Locke, not to the point where they nearly kill each other anyway.
5. Enemy AI is excellent on heroic or legendary difficulty level, but team AI is nowhere near as good. I frequently found myself having to tell my team which enemy they should target because they were so useless at taking out the biggest threats. Also, they are awful at reviving you if you go down. There were several occasions where I'd climbed up onto a ledge or higher area and they couldn't figure out how to reach me for revival. That or they just totally ignored my requests to be revived.
6. The story is possibly a bit short, or it feels that way compared to some previous Halo games anyway, but it does set things up well for future Halo games.
Think we will see BTB some point soon
I do hope for some more maps but I am aware there are 18 coming? Right now it is all about 'The Rig' for me on Strongholds. I struggle in pure team slayer and much prefer objective based games

Is there some key teick to being better at this? Absolutly terrible at arena, not sure why was doing really well on mcc the other day but i just cant grasp the feel of this! Unless its because i moved the xbox from my smaller pc monitor to the tv, doubt it but maybe smaller screen gives me more focus or something lol
Arena is hard, but its like anything new really, trick is Pistol really has been ramped up in is very obvious in Arena, I had to turn the look sensitivity up as in default its rather sluggish to run with.
I must be missing something. Am I the only one who finds the MP very limited and dull?
Finally had a chance to play last night! Did some campaign and had a few games of slayer. Racked up a nice 16 - 6 was happy with thatSo I may be a bit biast, but It's brilliant. Hit reg etc. seems spot on.
Turns out there maybe something wrong with the Aimbot when aiming down from certain angles.
