Damn. If any staff types want to fix that typo, I'd be grateful.

Yeah, AAA gaming has been kind of dropping the ball this year... I'm thinking over my favorite games of 2014 so far and the vast majority of them are indies and niche titles. We do have the big fall rush still about to commence, so... fingers crossed that someone will pull through?

Thanks a lot for reading, man.

Yeah; on it.

While I'm in here, this really was a fantastic review. I've always been open in my enjoyment of Halo, so was secretly gutted that I'd be missing out on this. Th muddled aggregate the game's producing makes me feel better. I now feel wonderfully indifferent about the entire thing.

For us. For them. For you.

I wanted to chime in too just to say I've seen a lot of similar sentiments about this game, but none put this eloquently. If I knew someone on the fence about getting it, this review is the first place I would point them.

Finally! A signature!

D'awwww, you guys are the greatest.

I'm right there with you on the Halo love, EmP. I think I actually had a little too much faith in Bungie with this whole project, going so far as to attend the midnight launch. Just after I'd been hospitalized earlier that day!

The gunplay's solid enough. If they'd just stuck with that... well, then Destiny would be Halo in everything but name, I guess.

Although I'd give the game a slightly better score mainly because the gunplay and mechanics are solid, I largely agree with everything you said here. Pretty much the story campaign level design is lousy and the psuedo MMO stuff hurts what would otherwise be solid PVP. I was at level 24 before I finally shelved it in disgust. I ended up easily racking up 4800+ points in a Clash with level 10-17s. Then in a match with level 27s I could barely do anything. The lack of match making for anything other than the 5 or so Strike missions is also hilariously stupid and needs to be patched now. Easily the first game in awhile that I was legit angry about spending $60 on.

Hey, Genj is back!

Thanks for reading, man. I'm honestly stunned that people are still fervently playing this. I really don't see what the hook is supposed to be.
