I am a huge fan of the Halo Series, but this just seems like a cheap money grab. 60$ for what is essentially an expansion pack is ridiculous. Those skulls appeared in Halo 3, there is nothing new there, the ones they talked about were even exactly the same. They stole Horde mode from Gears 2 and renamed it firefight.

Basically it feels like they are charging 60$ for a new gameplay mode, a couple new skins, and a new campaign (Which rumors say is very very short). There is no significant new content in my opinion to justify a 60$ price point. And these new game modes/squad based play should have just been released as cheap DLC for Halo 3.

  To be completely honest, I think this is a solid purchase BECAUSE of the firefight mode. The one thing I have always liked about the SP/Coop campaigns in halo is the enemy interaction. They all have specific behaviors and a decent amount of character. They are fun to kill. Gears 2 was a decent game, but the horde mode wore thin with me quickly when I realized that the individual enemies were not as fun to kill as they were to look at. I think the Halo firefight mode could be better, and it could have some legs to it.
  
  I am not a huge halo3 MP player, mind you, but it was decent fun. I liked the coop much more, however, so I am actually looking forward to this, and I haven't even popped in my Halo 3 disc in over a year.
