I don't know what I was expecting, but the first few missions weren't too fun for me. I'm not the biggest fan of Halo's gunplay in general and I still see the same problems I see with the first two games, that enemies are bullet sponges unless you play on easy, which is, well, too easy.

Luckily, the second half of the game really picks up in the narrative sense, and there's more interesting vehicle gameplay, which is a relic of the time that I do love. The game being better towards the end helps in leaving an overall positive feeling, but I do think I still prefer 2 over 3.
