What a game. I never really enjoyed Halo until I played this. Although I still don't think it deserves all the hype it has enjoyed over the years, it is a really good game.
Let's break it down ok?
Single Player Campaign mode has one of the most involving stories I have ever seen, as well as great voice acting, excellent AI, and wonderful gameplay. This game adds Equipment to the series, small gizmos you can activate using X to create a Bubble Shield, Grav Lift, or set down a Trip Mine. Dual wielding has been stripped down from Halo 2 a little, limiting your weapon combos. (You still have n00b combo...relax.)
Custom Games is better than ever with the new Forge feature, which lets you move and create scenery and weapons on any of the maps. As well as great new options.
The online play is where this game shines though, it's just great and I can't begin to describe it. So many different modes and voice chat. It's the best online experience to date. Play it at a friends house to see what I mean.
Before you buy it though, be wary that you may not feel up to beating Campaign a second time, (I'm only halfway through Heroic difficulty, and haven't played in weeks.) so make sure you have your Live set up first. A mistake I regret making. Still, this game deserves a six out of six.
