I never read the novels or anything, so I feel like some of the goings ons are not explained as well as they should be in-game.
I actually thought it felt a little too much like the other Halo games. The first bit of the game felt a bit fresh and different, but by the mid-point of mission 4 Master Chief is right back into the thick of it again. With Halo 3's ending they could have taken this story anywhere they wanted. A little disappointed on where they decided to go with it. I guess when you're investing this much money into something you have to play it safe.
The art direction of the game is phenomenal. I find myself just looking around at everything during the quiet moments and taking it all in. Great atmosphere.
