This game is constantly (and understandably) compared to the original 3 games. For those who wanted the same exact formula as the first 3 ended up disappointed. But I promise, if you enter this game accepting that it's going to be Halo, but with different enemies and main storyline than the past, you'll love it. The graphics are beautiful, the weapons feel great, the score is PHENOMENAL, and the storyline has been known to bring a tear or two lol. In my opinion it's the second best game in the entire franchise after Reach. 10/10, a masterpiece.
