It sounds like they are much, much further along than Halo was at the same point in its development cycle. Much of what they are doing is balancing, polishing and testing. Transition animations, network optimization, weapon tweaks and doing the detailing of the levels has been the focus of the weekly updates.
Whether the game ships in September (as I hope it will) or November (as I suspect it wil), it is clear that the game will be both ambitious and polished, which seem to be opposites in today's gaming scene.
