A steppingstone in videogame history.

This game not only reinforced the power of videogames as a proper blockbuster machine of an industry, but it also presented one of the best conclusions to a trilogy since Return of the Jedi.

Brimmed with detail, heart, and action.

A story so vast and exciting, that knew exactly when and where to play with the player.

A graphical engine that stunned players of its time, as well as shocked them with all of its physics mechanics like gravity objects and interaction with things like water.

And of course… the absolutely robust Multiplayer suite that rocked, and I do mean ROCKED Xbox Live for so many years, perfected the matchmaking system, added character and calling card customization, as well as provided stable map packs to increasingly populate its multiplayer roster.

Everything this game did, became as much of a legend as Master chief himself, and fans were so in love with it, that of course, seeing some of its multiplayer offerings come back for the Collection completely restored, only went on to show the absolute power this game carried.

It’s still revered as one of the best games ever, one of the best of its franchise, and part of one of the best trilogies in gaming history.

Those are medals that are extremely hard to claim…. But that this game waves around proudly as time goes on.
