Best Halo in several years and they absolutely nailed core gameplay. There's a few gripes but I really think its an excellent Halo all around. Feels like a good combo of original Halo games and some modern, but fitting mechanics (i.e. grapple, free roam). Having a blast in Multiplayer despite battlepass and playlists being less than optimal right now.

The "free roam" campaign was fun and the story was the best of the last 3 games (although I didn't mind H4, it didn't quite feel like Halo, and I didn't play much of H5). After the most recent AMD drivers I'm getting pretty great fps in multi - 120 on 1440p using the minimum frame rate feature on mostly high/ultra settings. Campaign I turn it down a bit to keep my adaptive resolution fairly high. Running an RX 6700xt with AMD Ryzen 5800x with 16gb RAM and a bit of overclocking on GPU

The campaign and story feel like they are missing some things and some of the missions are more like fetch quests. The free roam stuff is a nice addition and can be skipped if wanted. It looks like the Campaign will have future DLC as the amount of story we received was fairly small, despite it being high quality. It sort of wraps up and dismisses the stories of H4 and H5 at the same time while leaving a few holes and questions unanswered or just briefly covered. And, without spoiling anything, I'll say it does feel like a "reboot" that's only starting the next story rather than a continuation of last games - once again suggesting there might be some DLC, which I'm actually okay with. A lot of the story is in audio logs that you find and even then it doesn't really provide answers, so its a bit unfortunate that they didn't provide more in terms of backstory cutscenes. Still highly enjoyed it.
