Ballistics Report

Pros

Men at work
If you’re hunting for a workmanlike shooter that doesn’t stretch anybody’s imagination, the search is over.

Bring the gang
As with the first Halo, multiplayer and co-op are highlights.

Cons

Walk and gun
Action is on the sedate side, presumably to accommodate the clunky gamepad controls.

Miles of aisles
Level design is repetitive and unimaginative, to the point where I found myself longing for a sewer or a good old-fashioned, crate-strewn warehouse.

Color your world
Architecture is surprisingly boring, with a color palette that consists of little but grays and faded blues.

Splitting up
Having the option to play through the campaign co-op is nice, but why only split screen? What is Xbox Live for again?
