I liked the game, but felt that 343i took the story and canon too seriously, which caused the game to be too serious. Halo has always had its light moments, from Johnson's Regret statement, to Johns changing things up and shooting his way out. Halo 4 had virtually none of these moments. This, I feel, detracted from the Halo-ness of the game.


You didn't find any of Chief or Cortana's quips funny?

If the player is skilled, then that wouldn't matter. Especially in Halo.

I mean, check out some Reach montages for evidence. Just because a game is casual doesn't mean it's bad.

You should've played in MLG playlist then.


Because of AAs and bloom, previous Halo skills didn't matter. Noobs could still outshoot you because of bloom and out-play you because of Jet-pack and Armor Lock. Map control didn't exist when Jet-pack existed.

MLG playlist was garbage until ZBNS came out.

Get out of my signature.

Needs more custom game and forge options, a lot of balancing, and better Sops and it would be good. The campaign also had a different feel that I did not like but it's too late to save that.

Black Ops 2 is better.

I've never said that about any Halo game before.


Probably because Black Ops 2 only just came out. It would have been hard previously, without a time machine.
Halo 4 was only out a week longer than Blops 2. What is your definition of "just came out"?

Shame that you experienced all of that. Because I didn't. I ate jet packers for lunch.

If an idiot is flying through the air, I shoot them down easily because they can't strafe or jump while they're in the air. Easy kills. Snipers best friend is jet pack.

Armor lock? Are you serious? You're one of those guys who can't even beat it? Damn.

Armor Abilities is a prime example of how dynamic the multiplayer is, compared to just encountering the same players over and over.

In general. I've never actually said a CoD game is better than a Halo game until blops 2 and H4


Who did you say it too?
Friends who prefer CoD over Halo.

So, you encountered 'good' people and felt that the game was bad because of it? Because you couldn't compete with them? Damn.

I do not want to stop asking. I do not ask to stop wanting.

Campaign Story:

4>CE>=2=ODST>3>Reach

Campaign Core Gameplay:

CE>4>3=ODST>2>Reach

Campaign Level Design:

CE>2>3>ODST>Reach>4

Overall I really like it.

Why did I not review multiplayer? Because I've realized that every Halo sequel will always be a shallow, completely failed attempt at approaching the original's greatness. Just as it has been for the last decade.

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Jetpack made horizontal cover obsolete. It wasn't a question of "If it was easy." If an entire team started to fly up into the sky, where the hell are you going to run?

I just feel it lacks the spark of previous games. The Campaign doesn't have any spectacular set-pieces that haven't been done before, but everything that happens in H4 seems to be a dumbed down version of previous games; Broadsword section vs Sabre section, Pelican level vs Falcon level, Lich vs Scarab.

The multiplayer doesn't seem to have any sense of drama or focus, thanks to the instant respawn, JIP and centralized killbox map designs. People rush into the middle, kill, die, respawn instantly, repeat.

Spartan Ops has its moments, though I am thoroughly sick and tired of the map reuse again and again and again. I'd honestly rather they use Forge to create new terrain and levels for the missions rather than returning to the same section again and again.

- lack of UNSC air
- lack of Campaign/Spartan Ops scoring
- lack of Campaign theater
- lack of party theater
- lack of Customs Options
- lack of varied playlists
- lack of Firefight
- lack of hidden skulls
- lack of lengthy campaign
- lack of Spartan Ops offline

I find the game to be alright despite these gripes, I really cannot fathom why they would exclude so many established features rather than building upon them or expanding them. I have the suspicion this game was heavily rushed.
Not all of those complaints are valid, but by god, most of them are true.

Yeah the exclusion of established features is pretty damn strange to me. I get why they changed CTF but the exclusion of Assault (and classic CTF) is just baffling.

  • 12.21.2012 2:39 PM PDT

Straight Edge.

I enjoyed it alot at first but now I just can't bring myself to play it. It's almost boring to me now. I've gone back to Halo 3 and find myself enjoying it just as much as I used to.

Halo 4 was a step up from Reach, I guess. Not in terms of features though, and the Menu's suck.

  • 12.21.2012 2:59 PM PDT

There seems to be plenty of troubling problems and issues, but I'll need to have more hands on time with the multiplayer to better form a stance / arguments.

  • 12.21.2012 3:02 PM PDT

Only played campaign, but it was very forgettable and nothing special.

It had nice graphics and controlled pretty well, but none of the missions stood out and the campaign itself felt like an afterthought.

Herroh. U have reached teh BOOGIE LAND

It can be better if they made the DMR a 2.5x zoom, make the BR a 4sk, and nerf the hell out of the boltshot...

They should also change the sound of the BR

Sounds like a cricket

Edit: Also, the ranking system and the addition of smaller maps should make the game better, but seriously, they need to nerf the boltshot

it's just me against the world

It's a good game. I still dislike the new spartan armor, and still think it looks terrible. The campaign was short and sweet. The multiplayer needs some work though. That's just my opinion though.

It will definitely get better once the multiplayer is balanced out. like:

-Nerfing the mantis (making it more balanced with the wraith, and scorpion)
-Buffing the automatic weapons minus the storm rifle so that they actually become useful weapons
-Slightly decreasing the accuracy of the DMR so it's not on par with the sniper rifles at range
-Somehow nerf the boltshot charge
-fixing red team's spawn on abandon so that they don't have the advantage of taking the tower without resistance
-Slightly increasing the blast radius on the railgun.
-etc.
I think you get the point.

It's great. It really is. I'm having a lot more fun with it than Reach. ALMOST as much fun as 3
