The Bungie Halo games I've played are pretty even in terms of quality, but this is the one that's both the closest and farthest from achieving excellence. The first half had me giddy as it bounced from a bombastic defense of Earth as the Chief and pseudo-stealth Elite special ops team mission, which provided the pacing a solid sense of flow and variety. However, when the plotlines converged they became indistinct and I finally disconnected from the convoluted story of these games entirely. So it winds up being average in the end.
