Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

I don't like it. It's not a terrible game, but it's not a good one either, a hollow shell of the Halo universe with the cream filling removed and replaced with something bland and tasteless.
It reminds you of Halo, but it's not Halo. Nothing is "improved", it's just different, and there's a great deal less of it too. The Prometheans are terrible enemies, not at all fun to fight. Their weapons are boring and uninteresting, and the game's campaign FORCES them on you. The music is forgettable at best, you can mute it and not notice a difference. The new design ethic feels like it doesn't even belong in the same evolutionary tree as Halo, especially the new Spartan IVs and Marine BDUs. The new multiplayer format, why try to be like Call of Duty; Halo was distinct, this is just depressing. Spartan OPs makes me miss Firefight, which I originally didn't care for in the first place, but at least Firefight mixes it up a bit instead of throwing the same mission and recycled audio back at you. Worst of all the fireshare is STILL broken 2 months after release.
It also doesn't feel worth the asking price. Content-wise it lines up more with ODST than Reach or even 3.
Again, I won't say it's a terible game, it's just not a good one, and what irritates me is that this is what we're getting now instead of real Halo.
