Quick as a razor, sharp as a bullet.
Sorry about this, but some valid points are raised.

Crappy forge
Not crap at all. I've been able to do more with Halo 4's Forge than I have with Reach's.
Once again, we have the distinct lack of a flat, open area for forging. Once again, the developer's preset terrain, geometry, topography, etc. determines what can be forged, and what open space we have is tiny compared with Forge World's on all maps except Impact.
Oh, and the limited budget means that one arena-style map I tried to build has pretty much been cut in half because I ran out of building blocks halfway through.
rushed maps
Do explain how these maps were 'rushed'. They were created entirely seperately by Certain Affinity...
The Forge maps, maybe. Not the main MP (sorry, 'War Games' maps).
butchered custom games
Removal of some options =/= "butchered"
Right. I haven't tinkered myself yet, but I'm pretty sure the options are more limited than Reach's. You can't even give zombies different weapons for Infection anymore. Whilst I commend the effort to revitalise the game mode, the ability to leave zombies as normal Spartan-IVs with different weapons should have been in.
No ranking system
Not an issue, and is even being patched in within the next few months.
It's an issue if I get matched against another 47 who's actually much better than me and has only had the game a few days.
no campaign theater mode
Faced numerous problems during implementation and had to be taken out, will appear at some point in the future.
I'd have suggested to 343 that they remove the -blam!- QTEs, then. They don't fit in the game anyway.
having to play the game to unloack emblems
Another complete non-issue...
Not really. Having to unlock things that were available to everyone straight off the bat in previous games is absurd, because they have to wait to choose what represents them, without being able to represent themselves as they want immediately.
Worse, they took out an arseton of emblems that people loved including goddamn numbers. I can only hope they'll be reinstated in a patch or with DLC.
Barely anybody takes vehicles head-on with a DMR anymore because the vehicles have all been buffed...
No, but weapons feel more powerful, so people are more inclined to at least take pot-shots: tell me what happens when a Banshee flies about on Exile and four or five of the enemy team have it in their sites. They will pour hot lead (or plasma or hard light) on that mother-blam!- until it explodes.
