Meh, I moved over to PC gaming a year or two ago. Halo 4 is the first new game I've bought for my Xbox in a while.
Once you save up around $800-a grand for a decent gaming PC, provided you were smart about your power supply and motherboard, you wouldn't have to spend all that much to upgrade, and you wouldn't even have to upgrade for YEARS. I wish more people would understand that.
Hell, you'd be good for an even LONGER while if you saved up even longer and future-proofed your computer (Crossfire 7970's, i7 processor (or a six-core processor if you're feeling extra patient), 1200W power supply...) and by the time you want to upgrade, you'd only have to spend a couple hundred bucks. If you decided not to upgrade, you'd still be able to run pretty much every game, just not on maximum.
On a related note, trying to go back to Halo 4's multiplayer after playing a game like Planetside 2, or even Hawken's closed beta is just...Halo's gameplay just feels so inferior because of console limitations. The only reason I've ever played Halo (and much moreso, now that I've become a PC gamer) is for its story and epic universe, and Halo 4 delivered in that regard, albeit its campaign being a bit short thanks to the silly focus on multiplayer.
If 343 were to announce that multiplayer wouldn't be in Halo 5-6 so that they could further flesh out Halo's beautiful universe with a bigger focus on campaign and Spartan Ops, I'd be the happiest being alive. But as things stand, 12/12/12 is the day that Halo's multiplayer fully dies to me.
Hopefully Bioshock Infinite's success will make Frank and the rest of 343 re-think their priorities...
