Overall, this game is superb. The multiplayer is looking like it'll keep people occupied for years to come, and this definitely has major franchise potential. A few small problems : the Interceptor vehicle is overpowered. It shoots way too fast for the damage it does. It's great to go 19-0 on the moon with the Interceptor, but it ultimately feels cheap. Besides that, great job Bungie!

I'll almost certainly cancel my pre-order for real, because while there are some very cool aspects to the game, there are too many aspects I don't like. For example, the Old Russia world is visually harsh, for lack of a better term. It's too bright and the colors seem a bit unnatural. My instincts tell me Bungie made it that way to make it look alien, and then I remind myself it's Earth. Whatever their motivation, the result is that I find it tiresome to look at it for long periods of time. Another example would be the Devil's Lair co-op match-made mission. I played it yesterday with a friend and a third person the game found and it took use an hour and 35 minutes to complete it. Seriously? I do not want match-made games that last an hour and a half and consist mostly of tedium as we fire a gazillon rounds into some giant tank thingy or some floating ball thingy trying to wear it down one bullet at a time.
