"BOTTOM LINE - Microsoft wanted to release the latest “Halo” with the new Xbox, but avoided disaster by putting the release off to fix serious issues with the game." Judging from about 20 hours in the multiplayer (As well as the reviews that have started to roll in), It's a bit early to say they "avoided disaster". There's a lot of glitches and an unbearable amount of server desync on the online front, and many reviews for the campaign cite it being repetitive, with an uninspired story. I'll still check it out to see if the criticisms are accurate or just an over-exaggeration.
