Way overrated! Too many glitches, worst pop in graphics i've seen ever in a game, and overall not great but good game.
The weapons are pretty cool looking. Nice soundtrack and funny moments in the game.
Cons:
Where should i begin. First of the stiffness. The first Halo it was great. Great gameplay. In this it's way to stiffness and the grenade throwing very weak. The graphics. People say it's good but if you look at it closely it's not. The pop ins are the worst i've seen in any game next to Driv3r. Also, after a while it' gets really repetitive. Overall, it's just an okay game. Also, the weapons are really weak and they don't have that feeling in the first one. In the first one the plasma pistol felt powerful in this one is so weak. The smg and the pistol are really weak. And if i had to say the grenades are pretty weak too. The frag has small explosion as in the first one it was this booming sound. Just doesn't cut up to me. Way overrated game. It's fun on Live but if you are going to rate this as other games you have to look at the cons not just how fun it is. That's why people give it so good. But if they rated fair they would see it has a lot of cons.
