I'm gonna finish it. Just like Jigga did to the pyramid.

The strength of Halo was not, as 343 believed, found in having Master Chief as the protagonist. The strength was in the community.

343 more or less have shutout the community on having any input on the game, with the limited custom game options and a rubbish forge, not to mention an inadequate fileshare making it hard for good maps to circulate and innovative ideas to flourish. Furthermore with headless spartans running around in war games and the amount of glitches present I feel that 343 is just neglecting the community.

What's your opinion on why halo 4 didn't reach its maximum potential?

I think the game is great, honestly. But if I had to nit-pick, I'd say the maps. They're not nearly as good as 3's.

You really like that quote, huh?

I agree, 343 have kind of shut out the community so far. There should have been a public beta to at least get some feedback months before release.

Inheritor #156 :p

Because it has a lot to live up to, previous Halo games were amazing and having a new company making it you just assumed it was going to be amazing as well. But truth is that it's just that, their first game they're ever made. Sure they're going to make mistakes and things people don't like but in the bigger picture Halo 4 is exactly what 343i wanted it to be, it's not going to be Bungies Halo it's going to be 343i' Halo.

People forget to realize it's not going to be Halo 3 or Halo 2 like they thought it was going to be. The game had SOOO much hype before it came out and didn't live up to expectations.

Still a good game none the less if you look at it as a new type of game not the one you wanted it to be.
