I wasn't a big Halo fan, but this is just a poor Halo. I'd much rather play another Halo game. Far too many similarities tbh
I can see this having a shorter life than Titanfall tbh
How balance are the classes? I am trying to decide which one is "best".
Agree with this, enemies and weapons are too similar. Drop ships look like Covenant ships and replicas of Needler gun is in there too.
MS could probably take Bungie to court for ripping off a frachise owned by MS
It is everything Halo is but nowhere near enjoyable.
I'll still play it though![]()
Wow comments are getting pretty conclusive...
I've redeemed the Vanguard code, where and when can I get the Armour and ships ?
I just did the beginning and is at the city now but I don't see the Vanguard ships in the options.
How do i get Vanguard Rank 1? for emblems etc? Do i need the Vanguard edition? i had pre ordered my game but got no code inside or anything ordered from Tesco.
No they aren't.
but I even found the Beta really rinse repeat, I think this game only worked off the back of Halo and Bungie, but even with the hype I didn't get drawn in..and I usually do.
but I'd watched some vids the night before and wasn't totally convinced so decided to wait awhile
even less convinced nowI was really really looking forward to it too - really enjoyed Halo etc
Same I'm on the fence, beta didn't wow me like I hoped, don't wanna buy into the hype like infamous and watch dogs
It's a great game it just lacks content so gets boring quick.
I think it feels very beta.
It's very boring. The whole returning to ship all the time is tedious. Dinklage is terrible. And i wont even start on the announcer in MP

i don't want this to be taken in the wrong context here but £50 isn't really a big deal but i do have a problem with spending £50 on something that i'll play for less than 48 hours in total and end up be annoyingly bored with it.

The initial thing that was drawing me to this was how much content it "seemed" to have, and it would be a real free world roaming game, but all i got from the beta was, fly to destination, complete a linier challenge with boss, leave then repeat.
I like it I just think it's lacking in content and repetitive.
First thoughts.. find it a bit repetitive and every area is looking the same lol, but fun and addictive and quite nice to look at.
Not sure where the £310m went into making it??
I honestly enjoyed Halo more.... kinda wish it had an actual single player campaign mode, could have been epic...
interesting first impressions here
warning "spoilers" apparently - I just listened to commentary though

I think the issue is - for me anyways - is that the vs ai pve combat is not even close to how much fun it was in Halo. Compared to Borderlands and other shooters it's decent - and I've had great fun playing with friends in a fireteam - but why is it so much more basic than what Bungie gave us before? Where are the hordes of different enemy types armed with different weapons charging you down? Where are the vehicles, gun turrents etc? It's like Halo gameplay on a much smaller scale, just in sections in an overall bigger map. I suspect there is more variety to be had playing just the Lost Platoon firefight map in ODST than in the entire Destiny launch content.
So yeah, it's fun, but why does it play like a massively chopped down Halo? And why does it feel so small and empty compared to Halo, despite it actually being bigger?
