Update, still true Dec 7 2022. Maybe even more true

1. This game doesn't feel like halo what so ever. I wish I could articulate why I feel that way but it simply doesn't capture the mojo of Reach, 3, ODST, etc.

2. This may be fixed now but god the performance was awful. I had a 3700x and a 1080Ti when this was first launched. I was getting 40 fps, drops to 0 fps. Couldn't que with my buddies, straight to desktop crashes etc.

3. What the actual ♥♥♥♥ is the friend/social/invite system. Microsoft it's 2022, how do you fumble the bag this hard.

4. The FtP & Battle pass plague. It has a shop to purchase things with real money, that undermines the long standing legacy of earning your gear and playing well too look like a bad ass. And that's not even mentioning the tacky & campy take the skins and armors use.

5. None of this feels canon, in lore Spartans has been getting pushed closer and closer to normal humans, rather than the stoic line watchers it feels less serious in a bad way. I can't remember any of the newer Spartans for any reason besides thinking they're ass.

6. I've completely lost the plot, what the hell is even going on anymore? What's the story? Has their been major retcons? Now I'm having to watch youtubers just to understand how the galaxy was saved again this week.

7. Launched with very little content, even post beta, the actual launch ass with all AAA games was trash.

I could keep going but anyone open to being persuaded has already sided with me, or thinks differently.
