First off this game is an extremely enjoyable experience for me. I have played all of the games and have grown up with the series. I loved the story (beat it on legendary), I have enjoyed spartan ops and think it really hit its stride this week and hope it continues this momentum, and the multiplayer is fun.
With that said - two things immediately noticeable are.
The menu system feels like a few steps back from reach’s which I think was perfect. It is a lot more difficult to navigate and just feels clumsy. The carnage report also isn’t very appealing and forces you to dig to find your medals etc.
The lack of vehicles - I will be royally pissed if they are saving them for DLC. The huge amount of vehicles in reach kept things exciting and I have no idea why they took so many out.
Games good but these two things are bothering me.
