The gameplay, by itself, is unmatched. There's no game I've tried that comes close to how good it feels to just PLAY the game. However... This game is shackled to its long history of blunders and half implemented or abandoned systems. Intentional design on Bungie's end can make even simple tasks a chore, and their unintentional bugs and other errors don't help either. If you can keep from getting too focused on the history and glaring flaws of the game and developer, it is genuinely fun to play. But it's understandably hard to ignore that giant pile that's been swept under the rug...
