Here are my shitty thoughts and impressions so far: The pros - All the abilities seem to work well together - I especially like the ground pound thing (not too sure why some people are bitching about it). - The "ads" - or rather I should say quasi-ads as it seems more like an aesthetic change to zoom feature - looks alright I suppose. Definitely not as bad as people are making it out to be. - Ledge climbing. You can't even say this is copied from CoD as most shooters have had the shit since forever and it's about damn time Halo had it too. The cons - Jeff Steitzer has somehow managed to sound even more annoying and stupid than he did in Halol 4 - Still announces every damn thing and to top it off, there seem to be [i]more[/i] medals... Now he'll never shut up... - The "Spartans" talk too -blam!-ing much. If I wasn't looking at my screen and didn't hear Jeff yelling every two seconds, I would have thought I was hearing CoD gameplay with all that stupid chatter. - Dat energy sword doe... Like, the -blam!-? - Bringing back that shitty mlg tryhard map That's all. Overall I have no real opinion on it one way or the other. After Halol 4, I don't really care too much...
