Everything that the media has been saying is greatly exaggerated just to get views. They were looking for excuses to have Call of Duty/Battlefield in their stories to get more views. Also to assure strong emotions from the Halo fan base.
I got my Halo 4 news directly from 343i.
Any sort of change makes the Halo community go crazy. Someone from this forum jumped ship on Firefox last night just because they changed the way you view images after "standing by" Firefox for a long time. We don't even know what sorts of changes Halo 4 will have other than the hitscan Battle Rifle (As in it'll be a lot like the Halo 2 BR), faster movement speeds in default gametypes, and purpose built maps. Every single one of those things are great for Halo in my opinion. It sounds great. Now hold onto your horses and let them explain, when they can, what Frankie meant when he was talking about the armor not always being just an aesthetic choice.
I don't really care about what degree armor changes gameplay, all I do know is if armor changes gameplay, then the game will most likely be progressive ranking (as in you unlock armor as you rank up), and those games suck.
Just to sum this up, anyone who is already hating on Halo 4 and saying it's terrible is showing absolute ignorance. They're a fanatic to either one of the Halo games or Bungie. Halo forums seem to be filled to the brim with these sorts of people that can not think objectively. To them, nothing will ever be better than Halo 2 or no team will ever be able to create a better Halo than Bungie. These thoughts are predetermined and are of blind ignorance. It's not 343's fault, not Halo 4's fault, but it's their fault.
No, it's their fault alright. I know people were fanboys towards Halo 2 (like TM), but a lot of people stick with Halo 2 because we like it the most for whatever reason. We simply want the best Halo game possible, and it's not our fault many feel that way towards Halo 2.
As for the companies, compare Bungie to 343i. As you can see, they haven't done a lot, but they're still a young (very young compared to Bungie) so I give them slack. However, changing core Halo elements is not going to turn the tide in their favor. So what do you expect when people judge and the people like Bungie more?
