A very well made variant of the Halo Series
I can really say that this is a game worth playing, no doubt about that.
It has a lot of the elements that made Halo, Halo. But it has a lot of new stuff which I really liked to see.
For example I really liked that they added new/old weapons to the this prequel. The only thing weird about those weapons is why some of them (if you where to continue it as a story) didn't stay for Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3. I mean it feels a bit like they have weapons that looks new but are supposed to be the old weapons that you used at the time of Reach, that in time turns to the weapons we have in Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3.
I really like the Armor abilities. It gives the game a bit different game-style. which I don't think is a bad thing, a game can't have the same multi-player game-style for 4(5) games.
For Campaign I like the idea of having a squad like that, but as in the earlier games the friendly AI doesn't do "enough". In this game the friendly AI can sometimes be gods and sometimes be just "wtf are you even here for?!?". I really think the friendly AI could have used a bit more "firepower" at times.
I know I've sad a lot of bad things about the game really. But to be honest the game is really well made and shouldn't really be spoken bad about. I think Halo: Reach is the second best Halo game they made.
I really like the cinematic in campaign mode, especially the first-person views. It sometimes really feel like you where there and it happens, it makes the game more alive.
I'm rating this a 9 because the game is the second best game in the series. But the reason I can't give it a 10 is because the friendly AI. It really needed a bit more work on them.
To sum it up: This game is a game I would tell other people about to go buy it NOW!. It's a really well made game worth playing and shouldn't be missed.
