I just finished playing it and I gotta say it definitely kicks -Yoink!-. There were a couple of encounters where my rig couldn’t quite handle the game so it studdered a little, but overall the game runs fine and I’m using a run-of-the-mill Core i3 Toshiba laptop. Everything starting running perfectly after I disabled a couple of features though.
I highly recommend this to all anyone who owns Halo for the PC as well as Halo fans in general who should go out and buy one just to play this.
