No one with a brain is saying Reach is better.
Halo 4 was lackluster. It wasn't a return to form for the franchise. It was a marginal improvement.
Nice one insulting people with a different opinion. Tell me, how is Halo 4 better than Halo: Reach?
As far as the multiplayer goes (shipped games), the basic gameplay mechanics are much better. Minimal bloom, best netcoding I've seen in a Halo game so far, base movement isn't clunky/feels smooth and natural, Armor Abilities are less game-breaking. It plays better than ship Reach.
Now, the maps are, as a general rule, awful. Haven is decent, Adrift is really good for CTF, Ragnarok would be good if you couldn't spawn with a DMR, Meltdown isn't bad. The rest are either meh or horrible. The class system doesn't belong in Halo, spawning with a 1 shot kill weapon + x ray vision is a tad bit ridiculous. Random global weapon drops are horrible, and the ordnances are ridiculous. Relay (or whatever it's called, the space one) is the best map in the game, but it isn't in MP. I'd put the maps about on par with Reach's. Zealot was fantastic once they blocked off space, MLG made Asylum much better, the rest of the maps were either okay or sucked ass.
It's better than Reach, but only marginally.
