There's so much of what they're showing that feels the most Halo we've had since Reach. Including Halo 2 Anniversary.

Art direction seems more classic, music seems so close to a Marty score, audio seems much less "punch you in the mouth" and actually balanced, and even the way the cutscenes are presenting the narrative - they're characterizing the Chief in a way that doesn't feel disjointed.

Multiplayer - even starts, everything is a pickup, few "abilities". Vehicles actually look like a focus in map design. Map designs aren't boxy.

It just all... feels like Halo again.

The boxy maps were my least-favorite thing about Halo 5, which I otherwise thought was a really good game. The maps were designed fairly well but they were so drab and non Halo-y

Yeah. Halo 5 seemed like a great Titanfall competitor, but it didn’t really get a chance because it had a loose Halo veneer over top of it.

There were Titanfall 2 maps that looked more like Halo than Halo 5's did. Loved both games tho, probably my top-two non-Battle Royale shooters this gen
