Had the opportunity with a local friend, watched him play a few games and decided it was too similar to Halo 4 for me.

I plan to play the campaign of course, because I still enjoy the lore and the story.

However, I'm facing the very likely possibility that this will be the first mainstream Halo title that I don't pick up and play day 1.

The "wait and see" approach has already saved me from a few duds last year alone.
