Maybe just maybe it deserved it?
Name three things Halo 4 did better/improved on, on all the other games in the series. Other than copy Call of Duty.
Bonus quest-You also can't say graphics.


-Brilliant villain
-New weapon sounds are simply beautiful
-Forging itself is also a step up.

There we go, three things.

343 and gravemind were better villains

Well it's a good game, but I think the most it deserved was shooter of the year. There were better games from different Genres like dishonoured etc.

Not to me, I really like the Didact. But that's not to say 343 or the gravemind are bad.

If I ever get AIDS, I'm going to sleep with another AIDS person so my AIDS cancel each other out, or I'm going to make the AIDS I already have worse.

1 lolwat the Didact is nowhere near the levels of even the Prophet, let alone Gravemind he's a shallow antagonist who only really stands out if you read the books, which makes it null and void since we're talking about the game
2 Debatable the only one I really noticed that sounded better was the assault rifle
3 Sure, Forge added 3 new things and 5 new items but I'll give that one to you.

They were still villains. But these things come to opinion.

Halo 4 fell short of the others because the campaign was riddled with stupid button pressing and an anticlimatic ending. Also the fact that it had to rely on external media like forward unto dawn and the terminal videos and also some of the novels meant the games story was incomplete and hard to piece.

Gravemind in Halo 3 had amazing quotes and cinematic effects. I prefered it way more than Didact who let you live for no reason in the beginning. At least when Gravemind let you live it was for a reason.

All of the human weapons are much better, and the covenant weapons vary, but overall they're better.

the fact that his character is in a book doesn't make it void, that's like saying that a harry potter movie is terrible but the book is amazing but that doesn't count because some people didn't read (terrible analogy, but stil)

Villains with deep/soothing voices are awesome but still.

Meh it's all opinions I mostly hate how the BR/Sniper sound now.

Creating your own class is not copying CoD; the ability to customize classes existed before CoD.

Bigger weapon pool
Forge map variety
Mantis
OST
Writing in the campaign was better than Halo reach/ODST
Mantis
Armour customization the best its ever been
Netcoding isn't terrible liek Halo 3
Armour abilities are balanced this time around
Mantis
Spartan ops > Firefight
And the Mantis.

And I could go on too but its early in the mourning and anything I say about the fundamental changes to the Multiplayer will be dismissed as "They copied CoD hurr durr". That's also not including the graphics.

That's a complaint I had with Halo 3. Truth's voice in Halo 2 was much better.

That's the one complaint I don't understand, the button pushing. I mean, I sorta see where you're coming from but is it really that big a deal to add to a negative list, if there where other things you didn't like, for example story presentation.

Youve gone full retard. How can you enjoy repetitive missions in the same locations except pushing different buttons

Its hard to take you seriously when you give previous halos so much undeserved praise. The prophet was lame was hell; HURR GREAT JOURNEY!! is pretty much all that guy said.

At least the Dicact has a decent backstory shown in the terminals.

It kind of is a big deal when you have to push a button every 10 seconds that freezes you in an animation for another 5 seconds.

Halo's style of activating stuff was "hold x to do this" and you would hold x and it would do it without some silly animation.

Replace pushing buttons with killing grunts and you have firefight. At least some spartan ops missions are fun for an hour or so as opposed to the 5 minutes of time I've spent in firefight in both the games it was featured in.

Lag is worse for me than Halo 3; look at killcams for terrible lag/hit detection
Halo was better before AA were introduced as gimmics
Mantis is highly OP
The soundtrack sucks compared to Marty's music
ODST Firefight > Spartan Ops...even IGN admits firefight was better because Spartan Ops has one unique location...the rest are from campaign/multiplayer...it repeats the same locations over and over and you have no effect to the storyline...you feel like you're doing stuff just for the sake of it
Forge removed the nudge ability where you could hold down the left stick and press RB/LB for more precise forge placement
Fileshare system completely broken

They made the BR a 5 shot weapon and DMR is better at range and killtime making the BR worse.
-_-

I guess you dont have any friends to do Vidmaster: Endure with.

That was an hour and a half of intense fun firefight.

Reach's firefight is horrible though, spartan ops is better then that -blam!-.

Vidmaster: endure was a grind. But I do suppose you caught me on the five minute comment.

That's your walmat connection not the game.
Yes lets just make the same game twice in a row.
Your point? Its still awesome.
That's a matter of perspective. I'm tried of listening to chanting for 8 hours straight.
And firefight is in a different location? And it does effect the storyline? Were not just killing endless waves for the sake of it?
OMG then forge is ruined!
Sure I'll give you that one.

You make it sound like that's inherently a bad thing.

I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

It's not saying much when a game gets GoTY from something that's like MTV. When was the last time Machinima actually had machinima?

Also I think 343 or Microsoft bribed them. Halo 4 really isn't GoTY material. It really does say something when the game losses over 75% of it population.
