Artwork

Sound and Music

Original soundtrack Sound quality is top notch

Weapons have unique sounds You can often hear someone coming up behind you Different sounds for far away or behind you

Special Features

Armor Abilities Sprint / Roll Jet Pack Active Camo Armor Lock Drop Shield Hologram

The Good

Lots of gametypes Forge lets you create gametypes and maps More replayability than previous games

Unlockables Daily / weekly challenges

Campaign is difficult but beatable

The Bad

AI in campaign can be buggy Limited gametypes in matchmaking

More will be added once they are sure everything is working as planned

Lots of redone maps from halo 2 May not be a bad thing though

How does it compare

One of the best known brands in FPS $200 million first day sales for a reason Very in depth and competitive multiplayer

Appropriate audience Rated M so older audience than some games

Design Mistakes

Melee System Scoped pistol only slightly worse than DMR Powerful grenades

Summary Strengths

High replayability Lots of gamtypes give variety to gameplay

Weaknesses AI in campaign Design choices Reuse of old maps

Definitely worth it to purchase How to improve:

More gametypes / maps Reconsider some balance issues, namely melee speed
