Is it still worth playing?

Nearly five years after Halo 3, the Master Chief wakes from cryo sleep when Cortana calls him to fend off a Covenant attack above Requiem, a Forerunner planet. This 2012 shooter for the Xbox 360 was the first main Halo made without the series' original studio and the start of a new trilogy. The Covenant return, joined by the Prometheans, Forerunner constructs that come as Knights, Crawlers and Watchers, and earlier weapons come back updated next to new ones. The story stands alone but assumes you know the wider universe. The Prometheans still change how a familiar fight plays.
