not yet, maybe later unless you're in it just for reach nostalgia

most of the time it's alright; you'll get in a match with little to no leavers and have a good amount of fun, but it's a much rougher launch than people admit

there are network and crashing issues that have resulted in temp matchmaking bans for multiple people i know. no backfilling and lots of other minor mp headaches with ignored forum topics from the original game make that worse. on top of that which i've experienced, one friend can't connect to our lobby unless we have infection selected, and another has a second of mouse lag in co-op campaign.

the only thing i can tell they did in terms of weapon balance for the move to pc is make everyone always start with the dmr in every mode that's not weapon-specific like snipers only or fiesta slayer, which means not only is there no reason to ever use any weapon but the dmr/sniper because they're stupid good save for cheeky one-shots like rockets, you already have it when you spawn. i think they did it for the kbm experience, but it's the opposite of what they should have done. it resembles planetside 2 mountain vs. mountain sieges more than console halo and gets pretty stale after a while.

they're aware of a lot of issues. we'll see if they're good about addressing them.
