@winterblink: It depends on what you are expecting. I run a clan for over three years now. I've seen people come and go and I can tell you that the most disappointed people just wanted something different from the game or expected something else.
If you're looking for Borderlands from Bungie, this isn't it. If you're looking for World of Warcraft: The Space Shooter, this isn't it.
Loot is a feature, but the amount of it is not comparable to something like Borderlands. Their original philosophy here was to reward people who kept playing their missions in Halo in a minor way with some loot. It's not a constant loot pinata, nor does it have crazy midget-shooting-guns. Everything is very minor in the grand scheme of things, but minor changes affect things a lot.
You're never overpowered. It's not an RPG. In its essence it is a challenging cooperative shooter. That's all it really is, except it peppers it with little cool things like loot.
If you're expecting an RPG, you won't like it. If you're expecting insane loot, you won't like it. If you're expecting endless grind you won't like it. If you're expecting to play it alone, you won't like it.
I love the game, though not unreservedly, but I also know what it is and like what it is trying to be.
