Multiplayer
I can not in good faith recommend this game in its current state. Hit registration is some of the worst I've seen in a Halo game to date, monetisation is extremely predatory and insulting, updates are slow and content is non-existent. Especially with the new changes to server selection which have essentially ruined the game for non-American players. If you want a good Halo experience, go play MCC, it is in *infinitely* a much better state and is way more deserving of your time.

Campaign
The one feeling I had throughout my experience with the campaign was "eh". I guess its fine, but Halo hasn't seemed to make the transition from linear storytelling to open world unscathed. Missions feel much less cohesive and the pace has taken a huge hit in order to allow you to explore the world of Zeta Halo. It is an absolute shame that this world doesn't have more than 1 biome. The question I ask myself was "Why?". Halo has worked perfectly fine as a linear story experience for decades, and shifting to an open world has only hurt it.

Honestly, I kinda came to that conclusion when they released the game without multiplayer campaign but a Cloud 9 skin to buy in a store... I saw where their priorities were and dipped. I feel like they focused too much on the competitive part. To introduce an online store, so kids spend money on an NRG skin just to play a sh** hit scan multiplayer mode is mind blowing. We cant even play the campaign with our friends (you know, the thing that made halo such a classic) is a shot to the balls. Wish I could refund at this point but guess im waiting till May to play.
