I agree with what you're saying, but there were some other good things from Halo 4. No one can make Halo quite like Bungie because Bungie created it.
Personally I really enjoyed Halo 4. I really enjoyed all the others as well if not more. Halo 4 is not a terrible game like some on this forum make it out to be. It has a lot of great things in it. Sure it is not Halo 3.5. Sure it has some elements from COD (even though those elements didn't even originate with COD). It is still Halo though. It is a pretty good game. I wish Bungie would of created it though.
I just ignore the COD comments. I have three major complaints with Halo 4:
The maps really are the stalest patch in the series thus far. They spent time remaking the likes of Valhalla when there are maps far better from CE and H2 that are deserving of such treatment. And the new ones? There's only one small map I like out of the group and it's sad. I've loved BTB since the start of the series, but now it feels like a chore to play.
The loadout chocies really should have been more planned out. There are some weapons that just should not have been placed in the options (Plasma pistol, plasma grenades)
And then there's vehicles, whose presence in the likes of BTB is a joke. Back in the Halo 2 days having control of a warthog, ghost, or banshee had a significant impact on tactics and outcome of a match because they were solid, they took hits and dished them out. Now looking at the likes of ragnorok, most vehicles last about 20 seconds after the player enters them. For me I try and make the banshee last, but that usually means only picking up 6-7 kills before having to ditch it because it doesn't last as long. Same goes for the hog except it's assists.
The only powerful vehicle left is the mantis with wheelman. I can take out a warthog with a charged plasma pistol and two sticky grenades, both of which I spawn with in my hilarious 'anti-vehicle' class that owns the -blam!- out of anything motorized.
And I was majorly dissapointed with the Prometheans, they're idiots, extremely easy to trick, and are simply a chore to kill. Now that I've beat the Campaign on Legendary, I'm never touching it again. While I constantly replay Halo 3's campaign, there's no fun in Halo 4 except the 'Trench Run'. Hell, even Halo Reach was more enjoyable. Everything about Halo 4 just feels stale. Hell, I bought MW3 and found the survival mode of it more enjoyable than Spartan Ops. Kinda reminds me more of ODST firefight than anything in Halo does.
