For the most part I like the game. Graphics wise it looks really good, story wasn't bad (though I'm still not seeing how this group of Covenant are more "fanatical" than others after a skirmish or two), it also plays pretty good. Custom loadouts aren't a bad idea, a nice expansion on Reach's loadout selection.
I do have some complaints about the game, no off-line option for Spartan Ops especially when the content is on disc (also sucks to be stuck with a college that won't let my console on their connection) and you can't view terminals without an internet connection either, also why do I have to have an ability to be able to pick up grenades off the ground? I also miss Reach's ability to earn credits through the campaign.
Not a bad effort by 343, in some ways an improvement but in others a step back from it's predecessors.
