In short: More polygons, more particles, more guns, more characters, more epic gunfights,...

Oh wait, did I mention more polygons? Cuz there will be more

Well almost completed it and... its ok. Story ain't bad but it does get a bit repetitive after a while.

To be fair this is from a Gears of War fan so take it with a pinch of sal t

(Thought I'd let people know, Doug didn't double post, I noticed the two posts between his were bots so I got rid of 'em)

On another note... While I agree the story could've been a notch higher, this is in my opinion one of the better Halo games in the entire series (haven't played Halo Wars mind you).

Graphics wise it's a step up from previous ones which isn't a surprise, considering ODST was working with the Halo 3 engine and all. But anyway, I like the few new additions such as space battles. I really like the environments. I know ODST also took place in "human" environments but these feel somehow refreshing still.

I also liked how even though shit keeps happening I always wanted to keep going. I mean we all know before hand that reach falls but still the game keeps that small hope inside me and I thought that was interesting. It's also more fun for me considering that I've read "Halo: The Fall of Reach" many years ago and back then I thought "Gee that'd make an epic game".

Sad thought though, Microsoft is going to be releasing the future games for this franchise as Bungie has finally relinquished any rights they had on it. And from an article I've read it seems they want to release games on a "yearly" basis. Basically, they're going to milk it dry which really sucks.

Dude I ain't finished it yet !

Yeah sorry I didn't notice they were bots - I must learn to pay attent ion

I agree that the graphics are pretty cool. It is good and certainly better than ODST. I think its just a personal playstyle thing - I really miss being able to tactically use the environment to protect myself - like using walls in GoW or Mass Effect.

I thought the space scenes were a bit simplistic. I am playing it on Legendary and had no problem with those sections.
