This game is pretty bad ass. The only thing I don't like is how all the levels are freaking HUGE! I liked the fast-paced small levels where it didn't take an hour for a 2v2 game to 50. Pretty much every weapon is an automatic where you just point and shoot; it doesn't take much skill to do this. Dual wielding is some kick ass shit, though. The plasma sword is the best addition, IMO. I wait up high in a building and then jump down on top of someone and slice their freakin' head off. Went on a 20-0 killing streak while doing this. Good times.
I went to a friends house everyday this week to play it, and I must say, it was fuckin' beautiful. The graphics are amazing. I especially love the look of the cannon on the Wraith.
Anyway, campaign was definitely fun. We beat it on normal mode in probably ~10 hours. The ending was lame and left it completely open for a Halo 3.
The multiplayer is of course bitchin'. The one thing I hate about it though is that they nerfed punching with weapons. It takes the same amount of hits from any angle. Punching is only useful if you take their shields out, so it's good with the plasma pistol fully charged. The beam sword is rigged. You can lunge in any direction so long as you're close enough, this includes up onto the edge 20 feet in the air so long as your reticle was red.

BTW, there are tons of Halo's in space. The one you destroy in the first Halo is the first one found by man, than the second one is in Halo 2. Halo could go on for a LONG LONG TIME. So I imagine that Microsoft will run this series as long as they can too cause it brings in the billions of dollars they need.
