Honestly meh..
This is my opinion regarding the multiplayer on console,
Overhyped I think yes, I don't know if its maybe new fans to the player base but honestly 343 just can't get it right imo, it feels as if they've balanced all the guns to be equal therefore using a BR/ DMR just feels pointless when your pistol/ assault rifle seems to have the same TTK.
TTK just in general feels slightly longer compared to other halo's which gives anyone a chance to just out gun any person.
Feels like I've only played on about 5 maps for team slayer lol
Personally I think the layout and graphics just don't hit the right spot for me (playing on a xbox one s) obviously you can imagine the newer consoles will flow nicer but id say most of the fan base would still be on previous generation consoles,
All in all its not a terrible game, the die hard fans and new halo players will enjoy it but for me, a day one halo player after this delivered product from 343 with 6 years of development I have to call it quits hoping/ waiting I'll get a master piece like halo reach back and I'd say there are like minded people out there even the average players dropped by 3/4 in just 3 months
