March 2026
I liked this game as much as the other Halo games from the Master Chief Collection. The weapon reworks are strange, yet compelling. You can definitely FEEL that it's a mobile game though with some of it's baffling decisions like the XP system. You gain XP as a currency, and you get XP for how well you do on each level. XP can be used to buy weapons and upgrades before you enter a level, and they only last for that level. Dunno what happens if you die with the upgrades and weapons, you likely lose them. All the levels are designed for the standard loadouts in mind so its not a requirement to tinker with it, but I think it would have made the game better if these special weapons were obtainable in the campaign naturally. To get enough XP for the Rocket Launcher item, took me saving up all the XP I got from an entire world of levels. And to be fair, it was worth the price, very overpowered, and I just so happened to buy it on a level that had like 7 Wraiths in it. Regarding the story, I find it very interesting. I get to see and reenact a war that was otherwise off-screen between Halo 3 & 4. It fed me some bits of information that I was quite curious about, but also left me with a lot more questions that has left me dissatisfied. What happened to Arbiter? Why are Brutes and Elites together again? Their purpose of breaking the 2552 treaty also confuses me a bit, but I wont spoil. My answers can likely be answered if I read the books, but to be very honest with you, I'm not a big reader, and I am also not an omega Halo fan. I think of the games that I played so far, (the entirety of the Master Chief Collection, plus now this game) I would give the franchise like a C+. But I'm still committed to play more! It gets even worse? I'll be the judge!! I also want to talk about some of the complaints I've read that just confuse me. 1. Controls. The controls are literally fine. I think people complaining come from a result of Halo gamers just not being used to an Isometric video game. The controls are completely standard for this genre. There are also different control styles you can set if one ever confuses you. Regarding the Scorpion, I think this is a confusion where you would think pressing 'W' would move you forward relative to where the Scorpion is facing, but no, W is up. This confused me a bit too but to be fair, this is also how the Scorpion works in all the FPS Halo games. It just translates differently on an isometric view. I also saw people complaining about lack of checkpoints and like, yeah, there are no checkpoints. But the levels are like 5 minutes long. You can't make up 5 minutes of progress? This also feels like to me, Halo gamers being used to how the FPS Halo games are, this time its how those games shove a million checkpoints in every orifice of your body. I don't think the original Halo games having too many checkpoints is a big issue or anything, in fact it might actually be a good decision, but it would not work for this title.
