I was predicting 85-89, so I'm glad I seem to have picked right.
It's a score that means Respawn did it's job in producing a very marketable FPS that's not available on PS platforms, so if they are due any performance bonuses from MS then I hope the cheque is in the mail.
OTOH it's not the sort of score that gets people (who aren't fanboys) saying "Wow! game of the year contender!" or other gushing phrases about the unmatched awesomeness of the game.
So it's met, but not exceeded review expectations, if indeed Respawn or MS actually had any metascore expectations, which hopefully they didn't, at least not consciously. I bet everyone secretly wants a 90+ metascore, even if they generally poo-poo the whole game review part of this industry.
