Out of the 5 Bungie games it was by far the worst one imo.
My two biggest issues with that game are the split story (annoying as -blam!-, also terrible) and the health system (really -blam!-ing terrible). Not to mention they nerfed or removed the good weapons and added subpar replacements.
It's a game that I played once because I had no patience for its bullshit.
Maybe I'm just too caught up in Halo CE nostalgia.

Most people played because the multiplayer was so raw and balanced that it was grand. The story splitter which some people Liked But the ending made the story a 8/10 because of cheap it was and how it ended in a cliff hanger. Which pusses off a lot of the people at the time.
