Bought it on the fourth. Fun campaign, really good story. Definitely deserving of becoming Halo canon.

The multiplayer is decent, to say the least. Besides working well on the 360, not really innovative. However, I love playing 3v3 multiplayer, because of the way I end up being the tide-turner.

In my games, it's always about a half-hour of nothing but build-up. Then we begin to scout out the middle of the map, a few people get wasted, and then it's back to building for the final rush.

The other day on Fort Deen, allies (Scientist and Regret) launched a 1-Scarab, 2,000 Banshee and Hawk rush, got blocked by two scarabs, and so many Brutes it's unbelievable.

The enemy thinks they're winning, when out of nowhere, I bring in a massive Grunt rush, wiping out their Brutes, as my Regret and my ally's use their beams to bring down both Scarabs. As my Hunters take out all their Grizzlies, an enemy Hawk rush comes in, only to be wiped out by a Cryo bomb. And as the Brute Chieftain player selects the Chieftain to turn the tide... he sees him being gang-banged by a dozen Elite Honor Guards. It was just hilarious to see the enemy army collapse at once, when they seemed to unstoppable when I fought them earlier in the match.



So, yeah, the multiplayer's decent.
