Halo Reach: flying around in space
I am, apparently, a little way through the game, and I restarted halfway through chapter 3. The difference in gameplay from the first Halo is marked, with increased reliance on team members and communication, and a move to large scale set pieces rather than small-scale battles in corridors from one waypoint to the next.
