It can be overrated at times, yeah. I love Halo but I'm not a blind fanboy who thinks they're flawless games. I know a couple people that don't like the low-impact weapons, but technically it's just low-impact against the shields. Weapons do a lot of damage when shields are down. Right, the game can feel quite slow at times, and when you jump you're airborne for some time. Halo's not for everyone, but hey, you tried it. :]
