The Good

• Engaging storyline and cutscenes
• Good mission variety through campaign mode.

The Bad

• Covenant not playable in campaign mode, Flood not playable at all
• Small unit counts and map limit the scale of battles
• Very few multiplayer options.

SHOCK!

Small units? So, having 40+ folks is small. They don't know jack about strategy (even I understand how to flank and divert an enemy's attention).

So what you can't play as the Flood. What real weapons do they have? Are you going to dig growing huge plants and the like? It makes no sense to play as the Flood. Unless you are using MiracleGro on 'roids. you'd have your spots carpet-bombed like it's no one's biz.

Another gripe - you have several options online. Those idiots can't play online yet - it's not online enabled.

It's their opinion, but if they broke off small units and stationed them along the map, they'd have most of the map illuminated.

I think they have missed the boat. I won't complain, but they don't understand the game.
