Played multiplayer last night and loved it

Likes
-much faster kill times
-with built-in sprint the field of play really expands. No long trudges back to the action. You can even equip unlimited sprint
-insta-respawn
-Having the weapons drop in instead of having people camping a respawn point for power weapons is WAY better. Now people have a lot more motivation to get into the action.
-people are able to join an already started match so you don't get screwed when someone quits
-most of the new maps work really well and look fantastic
-loading times have been cut down

Dislikes
-not all armor abilities and options are unlocked from the start
-DMR has been neutered a bit IMO
-no Headhunter gametype
-Dominion isn't as fun as Invasion was

One thing I'm not sure about, is the way you don't get knocked out of the scoped-in view when you get hit. It's fine most of the time but I've found that if I scope in with the magnum i can easily chew up anyone with a BR or DMR even at medium range.

This. ODST was more of an expansion pack than a full-on release.

Yep, they got rid of armor lock. In its place they have the hard light shield, which is kind of like a temporary riot shield that you can move with. I haven't had too much trouble taking people with it down.

One armor ability I haven't seen people use much is active camo. Maybe because people are so eager to just run up and start shooting.

Played one Spartan Ops mission and about an hour of multiplayer last night. I'm impressed. I still hate it because I suck, but I'm impressed.

All right, let's get a team together and not suck collectively. We got you, me, and Rex. I can probably grab a coworker or my roommate to make 4. Can't play tonight but should be able to get some time in over the weekend. Saturday afternoon/evening, Sunday morning before football or after the 4:25 games, or Monday.

Leech has it too, although I think he's been doing campaign. I also have one guy from the east coast and two people from Amazon that play.

I won't be online tonight, but I will likely be around most of tomorrow.

what don't you like about it?

First, its exactly the same as all the rest of the Halos. I can explain if you really want to know, but think "spray and pray" instead of accuracy.

Second, the campaign is seriously WTF is going on, I am confused out of my mind for someone that doesnt follow Halo at all. Leads to just "going through the paces" by playing instead of getting involved. Maybe I am stupid, maybe I am blind; I dont care. :lol: Its just not enjoyable.

ps- having the dog chewing on a squeaky toy through half the cut-scenes makes it harder to follow. Shouldnt have given her so many squeaky toys.

You can get through the first parts of the campaign like that, but later on it gets much harder if you can't put down bad guys with headshots. In MP you will get swiss-cheesed if you're not accurate. Especially now that the pace is faster.

I agree here. The story is rather confusing, even if you've played all of the Halo games. On top of that, all of radio speech in the game is kind of hard to understand. I think 343 may have done a little bit too much preaching to the choir in the campaign. It would've been better to explain a bit more.
