A GAMER's INVESTMENT: The game is worth every dollar spent- with excellent substance and replay value!
1) Excellent visuals- Characters and effects are marvelous to look at in HD. Enviroments are probably the most beautiful I've seen in a game up-to-date with sunsets/sky and alien architecture has style.
2) Great Sound quality-love the explosion booms, rain pouring, and plasma rifles going off. Soundtrack is fun to rock out with as your slaughtering the Covenant in campaign. Better composing than a lot of good movies out there.
3) Customizing Characters with credit system- I like the various helmets, armory, effects you can EARN through hard game play earning you credits.
4) Multiplayer- This game plays well with others! I am having so much fun in Co-op playing the campaign with others. The AI also adapts in strength and numbers as you add more players to the campaign co-op. I just love how teamwork really revolves around this game. Online plays is just all the sweeter--The maps are excellent and they cater to snipers, vehicle players, run-and-gunners all in one! Its so great to see a warthog carrying PLAYERS FIRING AWAY just to get blasted sky-high by a grenade or cannon,etc. As well, those that make huge jumps and run over pedestrian players is also a riot. Forge can make the most customizable experience online if you have the time to design your warzone. Different types of matches are of all the variety yo need as well.
CONS: Not many, Short-lived campaign. Wish the sword was available more often in campaign and the Elite Covenants are like slippery soap in the hands when you're trying to kill them.
In short, get this game as an Entertaining Investment as you'll get the most bang for the buck and then some as the fun is endless.
