(Warning:Spoilers Ahead if you don't want to know)
The looks, the world, then enemies, and the designs, and the gameplay of combat are "somewhat" different but is a massive, but welcome change, I love how the banished has been redesigned and how FOB's work on the map. I'm sure the majority of you would disagree with me on this but after all that good stuff, the bad outweigh this game and I can't say its worth it, in halos case, the game HAS to have good story, NO EXCEPTIONS because without a good story all the other things about the game become completely useless, no amount of gameplay or detailed enemies can fix it. yet I find myself here on zeta halo, a ring well known for the flood and the prominent A.I mendicant bias, with NEITHER of those things, except hints of 343 trying to get rid of the lore. 343, for all the halo games they have made they have tried to change everything we know and love about halo, its true they listened to use briefly but that was only for us to shut up and let them change even more things, they have cut corners with this games story and it almost felt like they were trying to avoid the original lore of the ring, even though the original lore is fantastic. The pure failure with the story left me feeling, uninterested since the start of the game and I feel much happier knowing I'll be going back to the classic MCC that we all know and love. If you want to buy the game for gameplay go right ahead, that part of the game is great but if you're a old halo veteran well versed in the lore like I am, you will find yourself more and more pissed off with what 343 has done to the lore, of zeta halo and I wish you luck, I couldn't even beat the game cause I was so annoyed at how wrong it was, so if you make it to the end of the game and choke down the garbage story, you're a better man than I am and I congratulate you
