Nth replay, one of the great monuments. Played the MCC version on original settings this time on Heroic. I really dislike the over-produced version from 343's anniversary edition. Encompasses a scale only surpassed by its sequels in both scope and level design. Each level is a realistic size, it pushes away corridor gameplay for a more free-flowing journey. The gunplay remains precise and satisfying over 20 years later, still blows anything near its release out of the water. Its only flaw I can think of is The Library, and that's mostly because it continues to kick my ass no matter how many times I've played it. This certainly will not be the last time I play this masterpiece.
