Time has not been kind to Halo CE. All of the standards and precedents this game set for essentially the entirety of gaming are noticeable here. But the environments, waves of enemies, and poorly outlined objectives make this game feel old and tired very quickly. That being said, the large scale combats, vast array of weapons, and vehicular combat are still the focal point of this game. It also picks up and begins to move a bit faster in the second half, but random difficulty spikes put a damper on the fun I was having. Overall, not a bad game, but not worth going back and playing if you lack the nostalgia to fuel it.
