This game was marvelous. I loved the Halo time line because it explains more about the mysterious forerunners. The new vehicles are cool and the Mac blast is sheer power. The graphics were so amazing I could see the freckles on a face and the veins in the eyes. Multiplayer was the greatest experience for me because you have to work strategically with your partner. You can work out when to attack and what to attack with. This game was literally mind blowing, oh and don't get me started on the flood. But that's a little surprise I'll leave for you. The new skulls to collect are very cool. I have the skull: bountiful harvest'. It gives you faster resources. The thing about the skulls is you can make it harder (final score increases) or easier (final score decreases). You can never really put the controller down because you want to unlock all the stuff, like finishing the time line, gathering skulls, etc. The skirmish is filled with maps including an old favorite of mine, Blood Gulch. The covenent is my personal favorite because they have hunters and scarabs. I don't really know the maximum population but the highest I've ever gotten it was 50. Then I built 2 scarabs and 10 ground troops. They got pwned. This game was really fantastic.
