I am half way through the game now and the story is starting to pick up speed. How anyone who have played through Halo 4 and enjoyed it cannot follow the story in this game is beyond me. But then again, I am a Halo fan.

My Criticisms:
* I hate the dynamic resolution.
* I hate how low-quality some of the textures are.
* I hate how some of the Tessellation is fairly low factor.
* I hate the REQ System.
* I hate the custscenes. Give me gameplay, instead of taking away potentially playable enjoyable action moments.
* I hate the lack of split screen.
* I hate the lack of maps.

My Pro's:
* I love Warzone. Seriously. Really love it.
* I love the movement system, it's fluid and it makes sense once you become accustomed to it.
* I love 60fps. I went back to Halo 3 and Reach on the Xbox 360 and just couldn't handle it.
* I love the story. Always have, I love me a good Sci-Fi Opera.

Overall I would say the "Pro's" would outweigh the Con's from an overall perspective.
I have already played this games Multiplayer more than I played Reach, ODST, 4's multiplayer which is telling... And I am a PC a gamer, so my standards are usually higher. :P

Wish I could play the game! Started installing 10 hours ago and still nit finished. Sadly I am not the only one this has happened to.

Yeah my install "stalled" and corrupted yesterday. So I couldn't play the game when I got off work. Had to uninstall and install+download a 9Gb patch. Had to wait hours.
Apparantly console gaming is more convenient... Yet these kinds of issues don't happen with Steam. lol

I'm still hanging to play its been 12 hours and I'm at 95 percent. Sooooo close, this for me personally has been so frustrating

That sounds kind of crappy, I had problems with the day one-update but only for an hour until it had installed correctly.

It is, I played 13 hours of it yesterday and gonna play right when I get home XD

Good to hear! I'm trying to stay out of the 'Halo Buzz' right now, but definitely feel it going on around me.

I really liked Reach and became obsessed with Halo 4. I kind of feel I want to play it again before tackling 5.

That's strange and I've heard it has happened to others too. I bough the game yesterday (physical disc) and it took about hour and a half to install the game + patch and it was ready to go.

I've only played one mission so far and two matches or Warzone. I don't know what's going on with the story at all but I'll surely enjoy watching them cutscenes, they look so damn good and run smoothly.

Is anyone here willing to share some tips for Warzone? I don't even get the REQ system at all and I'm really struggling to do anything to support my team :P

i love how you play as locke and see one side of the story and just when you have too many questions it switches to Master Chef and its answered.  I think this game is brilliant.
