I've been waiting since Halo 1 to be able to pick up the energy shield from the jackals. Where's it at? I've been waiting since Halo 1 to have the flamethrower. Where's it at? I've been waiting since Halo 1 to be flown in a pelican over an extremely large terrain passing over a battlefield of more than 64 players and being dropped with the jeep behind the enemy base. Our squad of 8 evacuates the pelican just as it lifts off and it's right engine is taken out by a rocket. It struggles to fly without it's right engine only to have another rocket hit it, and it goes down and hits a cliff besides us. I jump into the warthog in a hot LZ with my designated gunner and passenger who's carring a rocket launcher. Our sniper, finally with his bearings, shoots the person who was hitting our pelican. A team of two come at us but are easiliy mowed by our warthog's .50 caliber gun. We drive to the enemy's base to capture the base, and win the game but are stopped short when a human tank comes rolling around a large rock, obviosly laying in wait. We all evacuate the jeep, but the gunner isn't fast enough, as the blast blows the passenger and myself about twenty feet, the other members of our squad are all trying to find cover. Crack, one of our teammates drops to a sniper on high ground. We all try to find where it's coming from as my former passenger launches a rocket at the tank. Crack, just before the second rocket leaves the tube he's sniped. Then another Crack, our sniper takes the enemy sniper from the top of a building, he falls and comedically lands on his buddy's tank. There's a small skirmish firefight as two more members of our squad are killed by a four man flanking team. The only ones left are myself, the sniper, and our demolitions expert, all behind cover as the tank advances on our position. Our sniper drops two of the flanking team and our demolitions expert sprints for the rocket launcher. The tank launches a shell, but it miraciously misses. Our demo guy has a rocket into the tube and out before I can blink and the tank is demolished. With everything seemingly clear we begin to move with our crippled squad to the enemy base which is very much in the open. While in the open an enemy banshee flies toward our sniper. Our sniper uses his quick reflexes to board the enemy banshee and kicks the enemy from it. As soon as our sniper has boarded to banshee a mounted .50 cal starts to fire at it. How ironic that our sniper is in the banshee. Another rocket is launched at the turret, but it's too late for our sniper in the banshee as the turret and it's operator are blown to pieces. The enemy that was kicked from the banshee has fallen right beside me and I quickly sprint to him and beat him down with my rifle. Just then two more enemies come from the base with battle rifles and we begin a firefight between us. The demo guy drops as I one of the enemy also drops. We I kill the last enemy and continue making my run for the base. I'm nearly there when the last thing I hear is a loud whoosh as a wraith's plasma mortar lands right on top of me. Respawning in 10...9...8...
But we don't get that. We get a spartan laser and a four wheeler. Whoopty freakin' doo.
Look it's nice, especially if you're a halo fan. And I am. But it's definitely nothing great or ground-breaking from what I've seen. That being said I will still play the hell out of it.

Just wanted to quote that in case someone's eyes didn't quite burst.
