There wasn't supposed to be comradery between anyone else except for chief and cortana. The story was supposed to be only between those two. And while it might not be as funny as the others, remember that this is 343s first halo game. I was disappointed that it was not a longer story and that it's still not 4 player offline co op. but it's a great first game. And I thought the part where the jackal tackles the scientist as a door opens was hilarious. It may not be a perfect game. But what is? And I'm happy about the changes in weapon sounds and vehicle changes. It's good to have these things changed sometimes, especially the ones that look different. How could you make a gun look different but sound exactly the same? And they probably could've made it harder to beat, but with new enemies they had to make them a little bit easier than too hard. So that all their fans could be able to beat it. And also you have probably had a lot of practice with the halo universe since halo 1 which could help explain why you beat it so easily. Just take it easy on 343, they are trying to continue the beloved series that bungie was making too similar to the other halo games and it would've ended up like COD fighting the WW2 over and over when all people want it for is the new tech and zombie mode. Just remember this was more than likely just a test run for 343 and they will get better
