I do not like that I can't be a melee specialist in reach. No flood was nice. That pack of 4 hunters was fucking ridiculous (and i didn't even see any of the power weapons...). The space combat was okay but extremely easy, like a turkey shoot. Swat addition to multiplayer is epic. Gruntapocalypse is shorter than i wish it was ^_^ Firefight returns decently (yay for shields instead of stupid stamina!!). Vehicles on heroic and especially legendary are suicide. I've always loved the halo story, wish they put more from the books into it though. Love the DMR. Needle rifle (idk it's actual name) is great too. The specials (jetpack, sprint, EVADE!, hologram, armor lock) are nice as an addition. Even though melee is broken, i still love the gravity hammer and energy sword >_> The customizable spartan is very nice. The controllers from the halo reach xbox are heavier and work well enough that I often use them. Shotgun was both nerfed and buffed... i like where it is now. Skyjacking a banshee tells me that the Covenant have no idea how to make an ariel vehicle >_> The new and harder to identify classes of elites are fucking annoying. Wave after wave of brutes in the last mission is reasonably challenging for an ending, though it is annoying that the several shots i fired at the belly of the big overhead ship from the get go did absolutely no damage. The way Kat died was just stupid. Given the ridiculous power of elites in melee in this game... it's hard to see why they don't simply rush forth and kick my ass. The allied spartans suck at combat, but they are invincible, so i guess it's okay.
Though i don't care so much about graphics, the game has fine graphics.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
