Number of Reviews: After all the hype, I expected a little more. To this game's credit the both the plot and vehicle piloting are very good, as well as the music. It stops there though. First of all, the level design is horrible. Outdoor levels consist of nothing but grass, rocks and the occasional tree. Indoor areas are nothing but blank metal walls with a rare decal. Covenant areas are exactly the same, but curvy and purple. There is a total lack of garbage, living quarters, furniture, or anything. Just corridor, room, corridor, room, corridor, big room, etc., all just as empty as the last. The weapons are 'interesting' but grossly underpowered save the sniper rifle. The gunshots are pituffly muffeled, and the assault rifle, instead of making the harsh, earsplitting stereotypical machine-gun noise that it deserved, makes a lame thumpa-thumpa-thumpa. The AI is pretty good but falters when you stick grenades onto them at which point they charge into their comrades screaming "get it off" and end up blowing their whole squad to pieces. Aleins can drive but human AI can't!? thats fair... Stealth is clearly a verboten word in this game. There are no silenced weapons in the 26th century (okaaayyy...) , and apart from shooting you, the covenant do nothing but stand there making it impossible to sneak past them. I by _NO_ means recommend this game to anyone.
