Ok 343 did actually learn from their mistakes. I like how they got rid of the things from Halo 5 that didn't work while keeping the things that did.

I have to disagree with everyone saying that this feels "just like old Halo" though, because while yes, the campaign does, the game itself feels like something else entirely, especially because of the grappling hook.

I have to say I do like the result of turning Halo into a free roam game though. While it was a little weird at first, it really does fit well for this series and world. I hope they'll keep this format going forward.

Which they obviously are, because my only complaint with this game is that the ending kind of comes out of nowhere. I honestly felt like I had a third of the game left when the credits started to roll, mainly because I did thanks to the free roam aspects. Not that it's bad or anything, but I do have to say they probably could have stood to give the campaign one or two more levels to wrap up the story less abruptly. But I'm sure that's what Halo 7 will be for.
