I'll be getting it - hoping for a supermarket price war to soften the blow.

Got my copy yesterday - solo campaign is ok, no real change from H3. But it's the online I'm waiting for.

just picked it up, have a look later

Love the online play - very similar to the H3 system, with a few tweaks.

The only thing I don't really like are the loadouts, where people can start with invisibility, etc. Seems a bit stupid and I thought one of the best parts of the last game was rushing to the bonuses.

I'd agree with that, they've gone with something that feels like a cross between the traditional Halo and the Call of Duty way. There are still power weapons that you still need to rush to though and various modes that limit you to only the 'sprint' armor ability.

I have nearly finished the campaign on legendary solo and have generally loved it. Legendary is very difficult on your own. About halfway through it really jumps up a gear as well.
