Say whatever you want about Halo, but this one is going to kick so much fucking ass.

Mixed feelings -

No chants in the melody. It was a real high point of the originals, though the variations without it were decent. It was a welcome use of the chants, not pouring it over the song like many in the new age business do but a great pinch of spice. No chants in it kinda stinks. But - Props for going with an orchestra and not rock music and bands.

With no innovations in gameplay, it will have little replay value. A physics engine like HL2 or Aegia Physics card would be a tremendous feature. Still, a story good enough to warrant playing it once

True that, epic adventures feel less epic without chant singing in dramatic scenes.

It would be interesting to know for what console the scenes were made for. PC can probably do that, but the need for fast hardware much be high. If the new generation consoles can actually handle all that, they can shake PC's position as game platform.

this is all very nice and all that... But playing a shooter on a console still feels wrong... Never did get the whole Halo thing... But yeh... It looks nice...
