Follow this chart to understand the flood:

-If Halo [#that'snot1or2] wins
--Force media outlet to have accepted bribes
--Claim the game is horrible
--Repeat how Halo 2 was the most skilled Halo, and get laughed at
-If Halo does not win
--Claim how Halo sucks now
--Claim how Halo 2 was the best halo, and get laughed at


This. Halo 4/Reach doesn't take skill? Unlike in H2 I still haven't accidentally outBR'd somebody.

You know what's funny? Journey won GOTY, not Halo 4, so you can't say they were bribed.
No. IGN gave Halo 4 Game of the Year.


Nope. Journey

Oh, sorry. I didn't realize the IGA's were done by Machinima, not IGN.

Halo 4 got the IGA for Game of the Year.

Oh.

My.

God.

By Christ, Halo 4 got best 360 game. not GOTY.
Oh.

My.

God.

By Christ, Machinima gave it Game of the Year.

I don't get all this blind hate for IGN.


It couples in with their hatred of games like CoD. When IGN gives it a good review they assume bias. Because it's not possible to have a different opinion.


It's impossible not to be biased when your company makes so much money off of giving a game a GOOD review.


How do you get review copies of a game? Give previous games good scores.

How do you get free swagbags from a developer? Give games good scores.

How do you get free paid trips, free 5star hotel rooms, and free convention tickets from a developer? Give their games good reviews.



THIS is why people hate IGN. What they say means nothing, but casuals don't know any better and take what they say as honest journalism.

I agree with this decision. Sorry whining, entitled and all around pessimistic flood fairies; H4 deserves it.

With that out of the way, you can go back to praising Halo 3, kissing Bungie's feet and crying about anime or whatever else you little girls are into.

I don't get why you feel so entitled to insult everyone who has a different opinion than you.

Halo 4 doesn't deserve it, it's currently a smoking pile of -blam!- with the worst halo campaign I've ever played that I will never play again now that I've beat it on legendary. It won the 360 game of the year by default, but it most certainly does not deserve GOTY. Again, it's a smoking pile of -blam!-. The campaign is a grind, the multiplayer is laggy, and slightly broken, they removed beloved vehicles and replaced them with the rofly OP Mantis, and took a big -blam!- dump on the custom games community.

Honestly, until I get the message with the code to unlock the specializations in February, Halo 4's largely lost all of its replayability for me.

I really like halo 4 multiplayer. (campaign was okay, but disapointing)

For me it was the best of 2012, but I disagree with IGN on a lot.

One does not simply trolololol into Mordor.

Hmm I was expecting Blops 2 just because it's CoD.
