The gameplay is slow-paced and not nearly as dynamic as halo 2. halo 2 was absolutely amazing in the multilayer. the game offers absolutely nothing new (accept equipment and a flamethrower which you can hardly ever find, which suck anyways). this game has absolutely no "Wow factor". COD4 had a huge wow factor to it. Absolutely amazing. The maps suck too. The "remake" of lockout has been utterly bastardized. Gosh the entire game has been bastardized from halo 2. the new pistol is like a fat kid trying to run up-hill. It just seemed like you guys didn't really care about including anything to make people piss their pants in excitement. I honestly feel like you guys (bungie) figured, "Hey, with advertising and false promises it doesn't matter how bad the game is, people will buy it anyways!" This game just seems completely half assed. I'm just totally disappointed and don't see much of a point in paying MORE money for more bad maps. And don't pull -blam!- on me like,"Well your not a Halo 3 expert so you don't know what your talking about" or anything like that. I am completely justified in writing this because I am a paying customer. I realize that there are many people that love this game. Good for them! I'm just sharing what I have seen as the majority feels about this game, which is that it is utterly disappointing.
You can pretty much replace the number 3 with 2, and the number 2 with 1, and it will still be something I've heard before. This has happened before and it will happen again. Changes get made between sequels, and not everyone likes them. I'm sure you think your opinion is absolute and objective but hey, so is all of ours right?
I'm saying that it is subjective, because I heard these exact same complaints 3 years ago, and if they make a halo 4 we'll hear them all over again from different people.
No one halo game hit on a magic formula which then never was reproduced. Each of the sequels met with criticism and some negative comparisons to it's predecessor. For me, I think the game offers plenty that is new, and has in some respects returned to the roots it should never have left.
