I would look like I'm trolling to someone who can't even end their sentences with periods wouldn't I?

Think back to previous Halo games that had Master Chief in the spotlight. What made him popular in the first place? Now think about how much he talked or showed emotion in those titles. Little if ever correct? They ruined a perfectly good protagonist by giving him the White Knight in Shining Armor appeal to fans when before, I could make him a team killing dick who doesn't need help. Emotions only cripple the Chief.

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

I will break it down for you all, as I agree with the OP. The story is crap. It's generic, forced, and repetitive. I have had a desire to replay every Halo game many times, not Halo 4. I care about none of the new characters, and the ones I did care about are nothing like they were in the past trilogy. Chief doesn't stop talking through the campaign and Cortana goes from broken but useful AI to useless and annoying blue lady. The whole bit at the end with Lasky makes no sense "You don't talk much do you?", where did that come from? He never stops talking during the story.

Let's look past the armor canon and of course the Forward Unto Dawn remodel, which are too obvious to even be worth describing. Instead lets look to the music. How can any of you argue for a second that music like this sounds anything like this. Davidge's music is all over the place. I have no clue what the Halo 4 theme is supposed to be, my best guess is 117, seeing as it's the only song played more than once in the campaign. Sadly Davidge didn't even compose it.

Music.

Argue whatever else you will, but the rest of the industry seems to realize how to properly compose. Davidge holds no candle not just to Marty, but to anyone else in the industry. They had the biggest budget ever for a Microsoft game, yet the Halo 4 soundtrack sounds like it was made in garage band. It's synthesized to hell, and far too techno.

Eh.

The campaign is Halo I guess, but multiplayer sure is not.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

Expressing my strong liberal views without shame. Favorite quotes below:

Seems like Halo to me. Sorry.

Went back to halo 3 and suprisingly had just as much fun. Sorry to say but devs need to make money on newer generations of gamers. You have to adapt.

Uhh...I like Halo 4, as much as I liked Halo 1, 2, and 3.

I agree Eagle, with everything you said here.

I just feel no spark from Halo 4. I've always felt a spark from all other Halo games, even Reach, that made me feel connected to the game, that made me want to go back to Campaign, that drew me into multiplayer. With H4 I don't feel this at all...

Halo 4 should have been like shooting fish in a barrel. It should have been the easiest game to develop and design based on the reaction to H1, H2, H3, ODST and Reach.

There is an enormous amount of info that can be learnt from those old games, what to do, what not to do, what could be improved, what works really well.... and so on.

And despite this we have a game with massive amounts of missing content, bizarre new game rules, poorly designed maps and a lack of attention to detail.

Black Water Ops

The music sucked but I like the game

If you really don't like it, stop playing it and make your own Halo game.

It appears we are on the exact same wave of thought. 343i wanted to define themselves and they did, as the developer that divided the Halo fanbase.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Your opinion doesn't change it from being Halo.

  • 11.21.2012 2:40 PM PDT

No it's Halo. Whether you think it is or not doesn't matter. Your just some spoiled little kid sitting on a computer that thinks his opinion is the words of a prophet and that millions of people hang on your every word because your that important. The truth is your not. Your just some kid who hates a game because it doesn't meet his expectations and goes on the internet to wine about so he can find other people who hate it and it makes you feel like your opinion is valid. You payed your $60 to 343 and that's all they care about. You can sit here on BUNGIE's site (they didn't make the game why do they care what you have to say?) and complain until your blue in the face and it will never matter.
