I don’t understand this game. I didn’t think it was very good. The story was kinda interesting but barely. Then there were a number of times I couldn’t even hear the audio because the game threw enemies at me while the character was talking. The two weapon limit was annoying. In the beginning when you don’t get much ammo for the humans’ weapons and you got to pick up from the aliens is so annoying, one because those guns just aren’t very fun to use and two the ammo capacity is stupidly low, so you’re constantly having to scavenge. I’d say the Covenant are decently interesting to fight. I wouldn’t have minded the flood either if it wasn’t for those stupid bugs the game throws at you. Then my favorite weapon in the game was the sniper rifle, but hardly any ammo was given for it. There was the shotgun though which was fun to use. I didn’t like there was no aim down sights. Many of the weapons just didn’t feel very satisfying to use. Then the levels where everything looks the same and the game gives no indication where you’re supposed to go. Think there was plenty of reused assets.
I just didn’t like it very much. Wouldn’t call it a bad game, but it’s certainly very meh. Think console players’ standards are low if this is a genre defining game. Maybe it’s the multiplayer that made this game so famous, don’t know why it’d be this mediocre campaign. It very much feels like a console fps that assumes the player is kinda stupid. 6/10
