Subject: I'm planning on getting Halo 4, so...

...is it truly terrible? I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means, so will Halo 4 entertain me for a couple months? I'm not looking for a masterpiece like World at War here, just a simple game.

Should I get it?

Yes, I know my username is the 330th sequel to a terrible movie. You don't have to keep telling me.

It's been fun playing it with friends, it's very entertaining and will keep you busy for quite a while.

I'm in the same boat as OP. A question I have is how similar is it to the good ole days of Halo 3 and 2 (in terms of multiplayer)?

It's a really fun game.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

Many things pleased me, many things disappointed me.

It's fun, but I find it lacks variation. Overall, it's a good game, and you should probably go ahead and buy it. I found the Campaign a ton of fun.

Why would ask this on the Anti H4 Forum...er...The Flood?

EDIT: hmm... I guess most of the Halo 4 haters went to bed...

It will entertain you for a while but not long term. Some people have already reached SR-130 or whatever the highest level is. As opposed to reach where the first reclaimer appeared after 6 months.

So you went to the trouble of clicking on my profile, either to send a group invite or hate message, or to check my Halo stats and call me a BK. I like Peanut Butter Waffles.

Funnest Halo multiplayer, IMO. The flying warthogs and mongeese of Halo 3 are back, along with all the other great physics. Multiplayer is fast-paced and addictive, and it's heaven with friends.

LOL nothing will ever match that mate.

I r guy who gun to teach u lesson

I lost a lot of Halo friends because of Reach (even though I could play that game if I had friends) so I can't judge fully, but I am kind of bored with it (I got it day one).

Not as good as Halo 3 custom games but an okay game. Lots of raging though (first time I've raged at Halo so much...).

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

I am the God Emprah of Mankind.

Deal with it.

Don't be frightened, the Halo community is well known for punching itself in the face, and complaining about how the games are always terrible.

I would definitely recommend it, as there are going to be many future updates that will add greatly to the game.

  • 12.15.2012 9:23 PM PDT

It's a really great game and one of those that the Flood likes to exaggerate as total abominations. For some reason. So don't you even start to let yourself think it's "truly terrible." That just made me cry when I read it.

You, I don't like you.

It's fun, if your friends play it with you instead of playing it with you once and then going to League of Legends to unlock heroes for some tournament.

  • 12.15.2012 9:25 PM PDT

It's terrific. Different, but fun.

OP, don't listen to the idiots saying this game is great. I got Halo 4 a month after and release hoping it would be a great game. I also was thinking "There's no way this game could be as bad as people say it is." Well it is indeed that bad. It'll keep you busy for about a week.

not even close
Doesn't even feel like Halo.

  • 12.15.2012 9:35 PM PDT

People only think it's horrible because they are Halo fanboys. The game itself is not bad. It's just not a "Halo Game"

I'm better than you :P

If you don't care about very unbalanced gameplay, then you'll probably like it.

  • 12.15.2012 9:37 PM PDT

A simple life.

It's an amazing game in my opinion. Needs more good maps, or at least a good variety of forge maps in MM

If you liked any of the Halo games after CE, sure, you might find it to your liking.

Otherwise, you'll know that it doesn't compete.
