Personally, this is my favorite game by far. I think it is the most complete. Halo had a great story, obviously no multiplayer for console (online).
Halo 2: Great multiplayer and pretty darn good story, just something missing for me.
Halo 3: Great multiplayer and a good, but rushed story.
Skip to Halo: Reach: I liked multiplayer and parts of the story, but just couldn't completely get myself into the story.
343 did something that I was completely skeptical about. They made me fall in love with this game by changing the game. It obviously has some of the Rainbow 6 and COD elements to it, but I think it is so much better in Halo. The maps are great and the new weapons are fantastic. The story itself could be better than the original trilogy.
Of course it is okay to dislike the game, but for people to complain about Halo changing, just come on. If you want a game that stays the same, go play any one of the COD games after MW4.
It gives a nice unknown factor for every match you play. It is matching and exploiting different abilities. I don't see how this game doesn't take skill. So what if a person has a saw or a long range shotgun? Use cover and your BR. It really isn't that hard.
