so many awesome ideas that are completely wasted due to 343 not dedicating to the open-world approach. the game's identity is all over the place, and frankly it feels like 2 unfinished games being slammed together to create an utter clusterfuck of a game. there are a handful of flashes of brilliance that show how cool this game could have been, which is pretty infuriating because there is just so much wasted potential.
