Psst guys, I was wondering teh same thing. I've never played it so I really don't get teh fascination. Maybe it's teh next generation of Bond for teh N64? Besides it has more vehicles and you can have weapons now nothing is really different from Halo. Oh teh graphics are kick ass but yeah.

Ok, I've figured it out.
teh makers of Halo have obviously found out a way to broadcast weed through your television screens, and they have done so through this new game.
Damn I'm good.

Hmmm, things that make this teh best (or at least one of them) FPS.
There are vehicles, and a wide array of them now. You can either drive them, ride shotgun (literally), or take teh gunner's seat in most vehicles, with teh exception of teh ghost and banshee, which are one person vehicles.
Secondly, teh weapons are well thought out, and teh design is well executed. There are definitely weapons for close range, short range, medium range and long range.
Also, teh enemy AI is good. They fight well, they strategise, based on their positions and numbers. They hide when their shields are low. teh grunts will start going crazy if you take out their elite commander.
teh story is good, and teh levels are also designed very well, taking into account places to take cover, ares for vehicular combat, overall level quality, etc...
And also teh graphics. teh graphics are fantastic in this game. Ocassionally, during some cutscenes you can see teh texture maps getting loaded in, which is a little slack, but during gameplay, you don't run into thos eissues, teh game runs smoothly with several enemies on teh screen, things blowing up, vehicles, etc...
Then you have teh multiplayer/online portion. You have teh standard deathmatch and capture teh flag. Then you also have "juggernaut", king of teh hill, territories, and a few others that I can't think of.
Any questions?

One addition to Anceph's well said post...
Re: multiplayer. In addition to teh already cool variety of game types (king of teh hill, capture teh flag) that are available, you can make your own! One of my friend's personal favorites was all rockets, all invisible, with like, quadruple shields.
Good times.

Yep, I finally got to play teh game. It's got some fine improvements over teh last one. I wuv teh new covenant sniper rifle. I like how I don't hafta drive if I don't wanna. I do miss teh scope on teh pistol though. And I hate how there's teh submachine gun (with no scope) and teh assault rifle (with scope, but only fires three round burst). But dual wielding is sweet, especially when you jump into a big group of baddies and you can't tell what's going on.

He forgot to mention teh FUCKING PLASMA SWORD.
I hate that goddamn thing. There's no fucking way to stop someone who's good with it, and it never fucking runs outta ammo or energy or plasma or whatever, which is complete bullshit.
*is bitter*
I did manage to avoid getting stabbed with it once though, that was fuckin hilarious.
