93 is a solid Meta. Should hold at least 91 or 92 to the end though, and perhaps even 93 or 94, depending on the 8s and 9s. Anyone read any of the sub 9 reviews?

Giant Bomb's complaint is that the campaign is too similar to other Halo games. I think that's the only complaint I remember in the whole review.

Oddly enough, that's what keeps people coming back to this series. You'd think that'd be a plus.

Well, there are a couple of headscratchers in other review I've read so far to be fair. The IGN review tries to say the number of maps for multiplayer is lacking by comparing it to the Halo 3 maps plus its 12 DLC maps, which is a baffling comparison to make imo. Gametrailers was complaining about the beam rifle and plasma grenade launcher being too strong, but from what I can remember from the beta, killing people with those two weapons isn't exactly a walk in the park.

It's hard to imagine anybody on the fence who hasn't played a Halo game, though I do wonder what the thoughts of people who've never played it before are about these reviews.
