What i Liked :

wow, i didn't expect this one to pick up the pace so much, this felt like a direct continuation of the second game, its been a few weeks since i played the second but upon opening and playing this one, it felt like picking it right up, which is a privilege given by playing the game way after it had launched.

the music is amped up, everything is orchestra and epic battle ost all the way through, i'll admit i missed some of the more experimental tracks of the second game, but whats here felt like an ''endgame'' style of halo. somehow they still found way to try out bong style instruments, which gave the whole thing a very native feel, which is fitting for this game of species joining forces to deal with much greater threads.

the visual style of this one tries its darn best to make you feel small in such a gigantic universe, things are made in such a massive scale that a simple ship can look like a building to you, and a building might as well be a whole city

this time i barely used dual wielding in this one, this game felt closer to a much better version of combat evolved than the second game, the second felt a bit more experimental altogether than this one, this is a bit more streamlined, its shorter too, and thats for the better, some sessions on the second game would really drag on, so i appreaciate the shorter streamlined story this one presents.

i love how cinematic this one tries to be, some panels are bealtiful, some are worth taking a screenshot, which i barely ever do in games.

the ending, woah what a throwback !

YOU CAN RIDE BIKES IN THE DESERT, GIANT BIKES AAAAAAAAAH

Third person detachable turret, yes please i will take it in all the games please

overall this felt like a excelent conclusion, but i am aware it was supposed to be, but we got some games after it, some prequels and some ''official'' sequels, not made by bungie, i'm curious to see if halo 4 is as bad as people say, now that i have background of all the games before it.

What i didn't liked :

is repeating level layouts a tradition by this point ?

i like that the flood is easier to deal with in this game but i still don't like fighting the flood.

a shotgun goes well with a library now

343 spark... you SUNNOVA...

what do you mean you can't play as arbiter now ??
