and arguably even better than Halo 2--which, as much as you 20-something-year-olds will deny, wasn't actually that good.It can't be better than Halo 2 because Halo 2 had good maps.
...with a terribad and a laugh-worthy weapon balance, not to mention the HUGE killboxes. Seriously, the Halo 2 worshipping is getting annoying.

Laugh-worthy weapon balance? Someone hasn't been on the receiving end of a Binary Rifle or Incineration Cannon.
Huge Killboxes? Revy Sniping in Reach and Beam Rifle no-scoping in H4.
Oh people, you try to pin stuff on Halo 2, and I can easily show you how its still there in the new games.
Binary Rifle is countered by that big-ass laser when scoped that screams: "PLEASE! SHOOT HERE! I WANT DMR bullets through my back-end RIGHT NAO!!!"
My post was targeted to the people who claim that Halo 2 had any form of competitiveness. To be fair, if you're looking for a true hardcore experience, Halo is not your game.
I don't know really, I always just attracted to Halo. I understand they had to "noobify" it quite a bit, but Reach just crossed the line. The only reason I bought H4 was because it was supposed to be different and everything, and it did fix a lot of things, but it also broke things, and didn't fix enough to convince me to the next Halo. I've taken an interest in various TF2 tourney's and many other competitive games. I also wish MLG would add a playlist to H4 already.
And to your Binary Rifle comment...I can just wait for someone to pop up, quickscope them, and hide for 10 seconds. Rinse. Repeat. The laser was at least an attempt at balancing the gun. My main problem is that personal ordnance is far too spread between game-changing and useless, but I won't get too far into that.
