Did anyone go out and buy it? Since it's made by 343 instead of bungie what did you think of it? Anything you don't like? Or do like better?

You are the apple...
Got it at midnight. Finished the campaign 4 days later, currently working on legendary campaign. Seeing as a majority of 343i came from Bungie, the game really shows that. It's got the typical Halo feel, but with some awesome updates.
I was one who was slightly afraid the multiplayer might turn into a CoD copy, but I'm very impressed with how they introduced the common elements of loadouts, items drops, etc. that one usually sees in FPS's, while still keeping it feeling very much like Halo multiplayer.
Overall, I'm very happy with how the game turned out. Now if only the heads at GrifballHub and 343i can work out some courts and an official gametype so I can start smashing on some noobs in Grifball matchmaking...
Full disclosure: I nearly cried at the campaign ending...
With Cortana "dead"(?), I'm curious how the rest of this trilogy will play out...
I got it at midnight as well. But I haven't finished the campaign. Since I work a lot, I haven't had the chance to play that often. I'm currently working on the campaign. Just finished mission 3 on legendary. I was afraid that 343 would change a lot of the game.

Work and such can easily get in the way, but I expect you'll love the ending. It's quite sad, but leaves a very open ended story to work with on the next game.
