Right jus so we finish on a high note I should get the bad stuff out of the way first
Dislikes:
I don’t like sprint in Halo myself so seeing it was a bit like 
I don’t think it has a place in Halo. Now, we really have a Halo 5 rocket launcher problem again. The shotgun, why tf did they change a design as iconic as it was just to shoehorn this generic model? It doesn’t look like anything that belongs in Halo and on that note neither do any of the UNSC weapons shown bar the AR. They all look like smth I’d see in Call Of Duty, Halo is set in the 2500’s right? I’m not too fussed abt the new weapons as much but I at least hope the Plasma Rifle is still in the game and not being replaced like it keeps being replaced. The armours jus don’t seem to have any grit, I’d hope to see some more fur on the brutes at launch but even so, they actually do look great.

I like the music quite a bit, seeing that sprawling vista tickled my nostalgia bone. I am interested to see how they manage this open world scene, it’s a cool change. I love the way the enemies look, the elites look AMAZING, the grunts being different variants from old and new artstyles is just beautiful! The brutes’ armour is -Yoinking!- good, it’s so Halo 3 like, it could use a bit of shine though and a bit more grit but I still think it’s an amazing direction to go in and ofc LOOK AT THEM JACKALS, UGLY AS -Yoink- JUST HOW I LIKE THEM CHICKEN HEADED -Yoinks!-. Chief looks the best he’s looked since 3, I’m delighted w the look. The grapple hook is an interesting mechanic and I’ll say this, I was going to put it in dislikes but they said it’ll only be a pickup in multiplayer which was a huge save for me. Picking up fusion coils is a great idea, I can imagine all the times I’ve seen them sitting around in convenient spots and now I can jus hurl them at the enemy or better yet (they can shoot the coil in my hands and blow me tf up in multiplayer which is awesome).
Worries:
I worry that the game won’t get the polish it needs before launch, we’re not fair away I imagine, I’d even imagine one more year of development would be good enough for me. I want it to be good. I’m worried abt the removal and replacement of weapons in the sandbox like the Plasma Rifle. I feel that weapon is v important as it’s always been around, was hoping to see some cheeky dual wielding but oh well:D I do still worry abt how sprint is going to affect map movement, design and vehicle play though, it’s here to stay sadly but that’s to be expected.
In summary, it was bitter sweet but I’m still really excited, jus please god, not another Halo 5 Rocket Launcher dilemma, that shotgun is horrific heheheh
