Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
109 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art and gameplay design were a return to functional military aesthetics that was missing from Halo 4 and 5.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
107 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Halo is one of the nearest and dearest franchises in my heart, the classics are a pillar of what gaming should be about, from beautiful storytelling, to simple fun multiplayer with people who are all just trying to enjoy themselves, and every so often a bit of sweat with some SWAT/FFA thrown in.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
52 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It perfects halo's 30 seconds of fun, and the fundamentals of guns, grenades, and melee are perfect as well.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
On top of that someone definitely dropped the ball on managing the multiplayer experience, because I see no reason why a game with such solid mechanics and visuals accompanied by a killer soundtrack taking place in the HALO universe would plummet so hard.
