GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

Files

1. As someone familiar to Halo games, a lack of a screenshot does confuse me somewhat.

Gameplay

1. Are there any specifications of how those controls changed from Assault to Strike?
2. The Reception section mentions that it's top-down, so this should be mentioned here too.

Development

1. Consider introducing in the first sentence of Development that the partnership was for Assault.

Reception

1. "Mixed or positive" should be "Mixed to positive"
2. I am unsure as to how Metacritic is handled outside of the review box. Should we say the score with the number of reviewers in both parts, or should we say Metacritic's assessment of the score?
3. "equalled" > "created"

General

1. Make sure that punctuation within quotations are consistent, as the game has punctuation both in and out of them at different points.

Unimportant stuff

1. Make sure to archive the remaining sources if possible.

Once this stuff is addressed (minus archiving), I can pass. - Whadup, it's ya girl, Dusa (talk) 02:12, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MsDusa: In the interest of getting more Good Articles out the door, and since the changes are relatively quick, I jumped in and made the changes in lieu of the nominator. Tell me if that is everything._{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 23:24, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
