I played this for the coop campaign on the Xbox One. Overall, had lots of great fun, especially with skulls enabled (grunts explode on death, exaggerated physics, greater explosion range etc). Definitely the most visually impressive of the two remasters of the original Halos. The designs are very faithful to the original and do not seem over-detailed like how they were done to Combat Evolved. The redone cutscenes are a real pleasure to watch, although occasionally block trademark character details (e.g. The 'mohawk' on Tartarus is not very well emphasized). The music is also well done, far better than the work on Combat Evolved. High Charity in particular has very menacing background music. The weapons also sound really great, as does the rest of the sound design.
With all these positives however, the game includes numerous technical glitches that are inexcusable. I experienced several instances where the game just outright froze and had to be rebooted. Shadows in levels often flicker awkwardly. When playing as Arbiter, the game will occasionally freeze for several seconds after first activating the cloak on a level. There is also several instances where the arms of the Master Chief clip with the camera during reload animations. While many of these faults are minor, the crashes and freezes reflect very poorly on quality assurance, especially for the time this game has been out.
