But the way they were put together is what makes Halo unique and why there is nothing out there that plays like it. Limiting the player to two weapons alone adds a nice pace and strategic element to the gameplay that I have yet to find in any other game in the genre. There also aren't that many shooters - even today - that make such a good use of vehicles, in the solo campaign or in multiplayer.
