I'm glad I preordered my copy and got it ASAP cause it was definitely worth the wait and the $80=)

Being a HUGE fan of the series and a gamer who started on Real time strategies. I really enjoy this game, I personally believe there are a few things left to be desired but for being finished because of Microsoft shutting down Ensemble it was amazing.
I hope there will be some DLC's for it=) It was very awe inspiring to see the Spartans in their prime. The lack of a Covenant Storyline was a setback as well as the Flood. I'd add the Flood as a playable race, a Covenant campaign and maybe an Innie (insurrectionist/Rebel) mini campaign or a game mode to fight them.
As per the multiplayer I enjoy the way they have the Co-Op set up. It ads a sense of teamwork more than any other RTS I've played. you really have to work with your partner to get things done. this sometimes makes it easier. It also makes it more of a challenge sometimes.
