It's more the game that I think would be interesting to watch and engage with, rather than necessarily actually <i>play</i> in the strictest sense of the word. We'll see - it could easily fail. Unlike Halo 3; despite what the fanboys will say after its release, there's nothing Bungie can do to cock this one up. It will be huge and great and will make me swear at my friends a great deal; what could be better?

I generally prefer tactical shooters, but I'm still looking forward to Halo 3. I hope they can actually give it a decent single player story this time.
