I want to first note i hold halo since combat evolved very close to my heart may of my best memories were playing this with my twin brother or best friend. Then halo 3 everyone knows the mp was a blast and i have the fondest memories playing this with my brother and best friend so when I say They nailed the spiritual reboot i mean it iv been playing halo since i was 13. It feels like the second level of combat evolved on steroids the gameplay feels right. Nothing is over done but nothing was forgotten either. The story I personally really enjoyed. And truly want dlc for the campaign instantly there is so many ways 343i can go now to create another incredible trilogy which they even have said is there plan with infinite. This may be the last thats for the last gen consoles which i played it on a Xbox one S and ran without a single issue. The game looks great even on the old gen consoles. 5 out of 5 as simple as that and u just gotta play it to fully enjoy it. Now the multiplayer does need some work the store monetization even though the MP is free the prices are way to expensive for some of the things you want. You dont want to drop 20 bucks on a few things. When buying the battle pass you were told would have everything u wanted. Now unfortunately that is not the case. 343 knows this and hopefully this will be addressed after the holiday break they deserve. They are very transparent when it comes to this and I will note they are still calling it a beta. I feel like they did it this way to see what people like and dislike. In return as the player we will continue to get a better and better experience with the MP. As it is its the MP is a blast. But the vehicles need a buff. And btb needs to have the same announcer as other game modes at least the ability to choose to have him announce it just takes away from the game having the lady talking she doesn’t hype u up as jeff does. Simply said choice needs to be addded just like they did with the master chief collection. Literally everything should be able to mimic what they did with the mcc. Hopefully they change the things i noted and i know im not the only one that feels this way. But still the multiplayer is a blast and just feels/plays right. Minus the radar being way to small. By the time u have an enemy behind you u have no time to fight back. It should be 25m or 31m which would would be even better specially in btb. Also a ranking System should be added. Plus if you want to grind out something that is in the store by playing for hours and hours to get something from the store you should be able to have that opportunity instead of just having to fork the cash over personally I don’t 343i had alot of say with the pricing i think it was investors hence why not mich has be said about changing the cost of things. Im ranting but its the truth and many would agree. Regardless 343i left the campaign in a excellent position for you wanting more to see whats next. Which i hope will be a dlc not another game. And since it is dlc we wont having to wait 3-4 years for another game. And the multiplayer needs work but 343 is listening and knows they have to add and change things. Hopefully they take it in the right direction but regardless its refreshing to finally get a game from 343i that feels like the original 1-3 halos. Although halo 4 i did enjoy the story.

I have only like 10-12 hours so far into the game. A giant leap in graphics from the previous game. Controls have improved greatly too. The size of the maps are enormous from the previous one. They improved the physics dramatically too. What I like is not all dirt you drive on is pure mud. The addition of building up your trucks with bigger engines brush gards everything you can pretty much think of you can change on each truck. A larger amount of trucks too new and old. Only complaint I have is it’s completely free roam and trying to figure out to do next I wish they gave a little more direction. But I’m sure in time it will become easier to and flow better. Very cool simulator of off roading and truck driving/hauling materials for job sites etc. def give the game 5 stars it’s fun and has so much to do and exploration is rewarded.
