**possible major spoilers, stop here if you have any sanity you have been forewarned**
okay, i also saw the gamespot review and have this to say, you leave earth early on in the game to complete chief's "final solution" shall we call it, that is to capture a covenant vessel and find the covenant hemworld <halo:the flood and first strike books> i also know this because of leaked info that states that there are levels on the covenant homeworld. this ws the chief's original mission even back before halo the defense of earth was just a minor distraction is that quest, also you play as the elite for only like 3 levels, because he is a traitorous covenant general who was to be executed for losing the fleet at halo so he decided to run away and help you.
also the health was changed so that you can just wait for a few seconds to regain health instead of searching for health packs, but i can see why you like the old system.
