I think this game is just ok. I'd give it closer to a 7 out of 10. The nostalgia factor is huge and just having a big Halo playground reminiscent of some of the more open levels from Combat Evolved is extremely fun. But, compared to other console exclusive games these days the Halo franchise continues to fall flat. The story in this game is basically non existent. And after a while of just running around the map, killing the same enemies, and using the same weapons the whole time, I fall off after an hour or two. It's fun to open up and do a few missions when I'm bored but that's about it. That being said the traversal using the grappling hook is a game changer for Halo games and makes not only traversal but combat a lot more dynamic than it's ever been before.
