[b]Pros[/b]: [quote]- The encounters felt amazing to me. I actually enjoyed fighting through all the battles and it never felt like a hassle to me. All the Halo games past Combat Evolved had me feeling like that 90% of the way through yet I didn't feel this a single time. - I really enjoyed the large open areas for good vehicular battle. Something that was missing (For the most part) from Combat Evolved's campaign and when it did have it, it was underwhelming. Here I couldn't get enough of it. - The design of the levels really felt right for the combat. At first I didn't like the lack of pistol ammo lying around but I Realized it was forcing me to stop from spamming it. I started caring about killing enemies while using the least amount of ammo as possible.[/quote] [b]Cons[/b]: [quote]- Like I said before, I loved the vehicular encounters. Including getting in the banshee that was to the left near the end of the third part after you use the tank. However, I'm not even too sure you were supposed to be able to use the banshee. A friend of mine told me he was able to fly the banshee into areas where he didn't think you were supposed to go so I decided to test it out. There was no barrier at all to stop you from flying into areas that were completely unpolished and looked as though they didn't plan for you to be there. If it was a mistake that you could access that banshee, they should have easily realized you could access it. If it was meant for you to use the banshee then they should have either polished up those areas or denied access to them. - Brandon seemed to have it out for me. He killed me twice with his shotgun and shot me out of the air while I was using a banshee with a tank.I was wanting him die about half way through playing through the campaign. - The problems with OS and using an FoV that wasn't default was annoying such as voices seeming to be missing from the cutscenes or being able to clearly see May's "Helmet under another helmet" ala Master Chief at the end of Combat Evolved. You'd think they'd account for these things with how popular both things are. (Although it was hilarious to hear my friend say "OH MY GOD, SHE WAS MASTER CHIEF THE ENTIRE TIME!?" when this happened. Had me rofling.)[/quote] Overall, it was an awesome experience. It wasn't perfect but I never expected it to be to begin with. It was amazing for what they had and I applaud them on what they delivered. I'd recommend other people to play it as well but to not judge it too harshly.

Some tough encounters, but not the cheating or 'holy -blam!- -blam!-, this game is working against me' variety.[/quote]I think you're getting confused here. He said story, not gameplay encouters. Story is that thing where you're told things happen to other people like in movies or books... In case you didn't know. <3 you xD [Edited on 10.10.2012 7:15 PM PDT]
