ok brief summary of why I'm excited:
Forge World
Matchmaking:
which
looks
Fucking
Amazing
and features new modes like Invasion
Then we have firefight. Based on the ODST mode, it now comes with full customisation of every aspect of the AI, weapons, character traits etc etc plus a versus mode with player controlled Elites.
And campaign. Something I know next to nothing about but I do know this; You play as a member of Noble Team- a squad of Spartan III's fighting on Reach in the days prior to The Covenant destroying the entire planet. Reach is significant for being the military hub of the UNSC forces in the Halo universe and is the last planet between the covenant and Earth. It's a direct prequel to Halo: CE- the opening cinematic of CE is, in fact, the pillar of autumn leaving hyper space immediately after fleeing Reach so it's a big event.
