Probably my favorite of all the halo games because of the combat. The whole game is designed to give you multiple ways to approach a situation. Take armor abilities for example. If you take sprint you can close with opponents quickly (great for assasinations), but if you chose the jetpack instead you can traverse the map in entirely different ways or use the jetpack to float above an opponent. Killing an opponent was also very strategic because of the shield system. You had to take down your opponents shields first to do any body damage (not quite the same in some of the later updates, but it still holds pretty true) and weapons that were good at removing shields were largely not very fast at killing. Thus the n00b combo - blast the shields with a charged plasma pistol, then swap to a magnum or dmr for the headshot. Or get a grenade close to them and finish them off with a headshot. Or headshot them with the sniper rifle. Or get close with a sword or shotgun. Or unload a full needler clip and watch them explode. :)

Or my favorite, unload a magnum at someone while they throw a grenade at you... if you hit the grenade it explodes in their face and then you headshot them.
