Better than halo 3 wishes it could be IMO
first of all the graphics are great and the havok engine generates great regdoll/physics in the game. The graphics are prisitne and sharp but framerates stay high and keep the game running smoothly.
the gameplay itself has been done before, but not in a long time to this depth. With four different classes, human, elf, troll, and dwarfs, each has their own traits relating to, speed, stregnth, health, essesnce(magic) and each has their own unique ability, such as humans having no tech upgrade penaltyies that every other race gets. Like i said earlier i find that the game has gotten better since halo 3 has come out because the people who play are more mature, and more dedicated to the game. Its a game that gets better as you keep playing and you find unique ways to take advantage of the situation with your unique abilities. Many of its other pros are subtle like when the server disconnects it chooses the person with the highest connection and you qill continue to play. The maps are done fantastically and there is a diverse and great amount of them.
Some of the bad things include, getting some of the achievements when it involves playing,killing,or ressurecting vista players. and i would have liked to be able to have two players play on one xbox online.
that's about all i got to say great game overall, its a shame that there will be no downloadable content because of fasa's breakup, but oh well it still comes out on top.
