Out of the 5 Bungie games it was by far the worst one imo.
My two biggest issues with that game are the split story (annoying as -blam!-, also terrible) and the health system (really -blam!-ing terrible). Not to mention they nerfed or removed the good weapons and added subpar replacements.
It's a game that I played once because I had no patience for its bullshit.
Maybe I'm just too caught up in Halo CE nostalgia.

It was the game that launched the Xbox live experience. The multiplayer is one of the best multiplayer games around.
