I’m hyped AF for this to be fully released. You brought back the guitar and drums for the music. The new sprint mechanic is by far the best one yet. The colours are popping, the guns feel brutal. I have to take my hat off for 343. This is really, really tight.
If I had to pick on something, it would be the lack of blood effects and some particle effects. Like explosions and dirt effects when grenades and such goes off. The aiming with the controller differs a little from Halo 3 and Reach, which I prefer today. And I would like a (classic aim option). Though with a little practice I’m sure I can get used to this new aim as well.
And my last nitpick is with the Spike Grenade. First off, it takes a long time before it goes off. And second, it doesn’t stick to players anymore when they die. Which for me, is unfortunate. As I have walked over my own grenades more than once, because as a player becomes ragdoll’ed it just drops to the floor.
But all in all. I can see myself play this game for 10 years straight after release. Fantastic so far.
