DO NOT BUY UNTIL SERVER PROBLEMS ARE RESOLVED
Throughout 8 hours of searching I only managed to find 5 heists. Constant "matchmaking error". On top of that the cosmetic customization sucks in this game compared to PD2 and the way skills work is tedious and not that intuitive. I hope they can roll out some near-future patches to fix this game.
Gunplay feels much better then PD2 and overall the game FEELS better.

Story: 9/10
Easily one of the best stories I've played but does not get a full 10 because you need prior knowledge to understand a bit of the end.

Gameplay: 8/10
Smooth and robust. Plays similar to most other CoDs

Stability: -10984804/10
The game crashes more then a drunken turk driving down the streets of London. (on my 3080Ti, 3900X 64GB RAM, SSD)

Good comedy but gameplay is kinda lackluster and whilst playing on PC it is VERY clear that this was made for the SteamDeck, and not really having PC in mind at all. You HAVE to have a controller and a few functions straight out don't work.
That being said, if you have a controller and like a lot more relaxed games, I suggest giving it a try as it is free.

Multiplayer is free so might as well give it a try.
Sandbox and gameplay is solid and every weapon has its own use-case.
Microtransactions SUCK. $20 for a white coating. $7 for blue or red.
Ranked is too easy. Diamond is what platinum used to be and onyx is what Diamond used to be. It also is missing the champion rank from halo 5 (top 200 onyxes).

Try it, it's free and fun.

Been a fan of the Halo games since Reach first released back in 2011. Since then I've moved on to pc gaming and gotten used to the current standard and I've got to say, this game really holds up!
There's a few things here and there that could be improved such as having to sign into xbox live. I get why they do this and me myself don't mind it, but I see a lot of people complain about it and I understand why.
Another thing is support for multiple keybindings would be nice and the crouch as of now is a little clunky. It was like this back on xbox as well, but for pc they should improve on it.
Overall this is a really well made game and to be clear, it's not as much of an port as it is a rerelease. It really feels made for pc.
I rate this 9/10

this games sucks.
i still play it.
