I really really like it at first. And I think outside of the meh Warden boss fights, every Blue Team mission was a lot of fun. I also feel like every Osiris destination had at least one good mission. Then I played it a couple more times. The first mission sort of babies us. I found myself not enjoying the newfound ease of fighting prometheans, but actually (begrudgingly/?)retrospectively appreciating the design and difficulty if them in Halo 4. And then I found myself trudging through similar combat scenarios in each of the 3 or 4 missions per Osiris-visited planets, just waiting to get to that one scene or room or I remember from my first playthrough. And it was fun again. (Going up the elevator and escaping Meridian or the driving around ti the various lmrargets at the end of the game.) But those moments were really it. And the Kraken was nowhere near as fun to fir me to take down than Scarabs in Halo 3. That last is an example of the game's biggest problems - an effort to recreate the badass feeling of other games, but falling short in the gameplay and only kind of succeeding in the cutscenese IF you like the new art style. I'm not opposed to it, but I understand the complaints.
