I thought the graphics and sound were great, but for me, the gameplay isn't as smooth as the later Halo games. For instance, I can't seem to run and jump off of objects anymore and my stick motions are so slow and sticky (I may have to adjust sensitivity on that one), but I feel like I'm playing the same old Halo. Heck, one push of the "back" button and I am playing the old Halo.
