I spent about an hour and a half in the training mode last night. It’s a nice feature, great for warming up. The gameplay is just as tight as I remember from the first flight. I can’t wait until this releases.

Does it feel like a new or next gen experience at all? More detail? Anything?

Yeah I think so. The game runs extremely well, great pacing, looks clean and crisp with good textures, I personally think the sound is excellent, etc. you’re not gonna see a massive overhaul or anything. It’s still halo, meaning there’s not a drastic overhaul of art style or anything, so it immediately seems and looks familiar, but just looks prettier and runs better. I’m eager to see some of the larger maps when the BTB flight releases. Game is hell a fun though.You can feel when you’re playing it that there’s a very intentional direction toward its roots.
 
I managed to play a little bit of the academy (basically training with the weapons). I suck. I was going to try to three star each of the challenges, but on the AR I gave up at 2 stars, though I did get that on all three challenges. I'm on the second weapon and I couldn't get past 1 star.
 
Played a few matches against bots and 1 against real people. Game looks nice. Plays pretty good too. I can see the grappling hook being divisive but my overall impression of the multiplayer is good.
EDIT: Should mention I played on a Series X. Going to try on PC later to see if there are any significant differences.

To be honest I haven't seen much negativity around the game, it seems people who have played the game are really enjoying it, can't wait for the open beta.
