Some of the weapon sounds are pathetic (assault and covenant main guns from the first), the AR especially sounds like it's running on AAA batteries. The deep bass that they removed from some of the weapons really lessens the impact of combat which is what Halo did so well. Hell, the pistol sounds stronger than the AR...
Also, why did they lower the clip amount to 32? Reloading more often is not fun, and the weapon doesn't feel any more effective. I'd much rather have a large clip that I could rapidly unload at enemies with heavy bass than a small clip that possibly does more damage but sounds like a peashooter and needs to be reloaded every 3 seconds. It's not like the gun was overpowered in the original, and if it was, so what? It was damn fun.
Theabsence of the life bar still SUCKS.
I don't like the texture pop in and in game "freezing" for 2-4 seconds in the middle of gameplay. These things happening in the concluding chapter of one of the most revered games in the industry is inexusable, not to mention this is on the 360. This is MS's flagship title, and should've been given the utmost care and polish. It makes me think once again that single-player was given second hand treatment to the multi-player, as with Halo 2. Multi-player brings in more $$$, so that's probably what happened.
Halo 3 is a good game, but still is not as good as the original.
OneWingedAngel: same problem here, except it erased all the levels and I had to start from the very beginning.
