Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.
My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary
Halo Reach was fun for me for two or three months, but it's hype died down. Halo 4 just feels, really bland. It doesn't feel like Halo, not like Battlefield, and not like Call of Duty, but not in any good ways. To put it as understandable as I can, it's like the taste of water, though I'd still rank it at about the same level as Reach on the fun scale.
My main issues with 4 come from nit-picky things. For instance, not booting you out of zoom when you're shot at (Great for the sniper, but not so much for the sniped). There was great security in knowing that if you popped your attackers then they had to be real lucky, or a great shot to still kill you at long distances.
Sound effects in general feel weak, muffled, and too similar to other guns (BR sounding like a tri-shot magnum, the Carbine sounding way too ordinary and not that nice hollow-ripple sound from Halo 2 and 3, and the Storm Rifle just sounding like a pea-shooter, despite it's power, Fuel Rod just sounds like ejecting an empty shell, etc.). However, the AR sounds and feels awesome. 343 finally did the weapon some justice.
As for campaign, it's so lack luster that it's worth a whole deconstruction, but I'll spare you the rant.
Regardless of these complaints, MP hasn't felt like I have been cheated out of a kill.
Okay, time for quick notes.
1. AAs are not game changing, and are generally well balanced with their Pros and Cons.
2.Grenades are no longer Grenukes, major plus.
- No picking up grenades? I guess they don't want spammers, but it sucks when I'm stuck with two and only two unless I grab 1 of 2 spawners for them.
3. DMR is way too over used and can feel OP at times, though I see a tweak happening in the future.
4. Unlock system is shallow and is over the top with unlocks straight down to emblems. Come off it, I've been using a certain emblem since Halo 2, and I don't want to wait until I'm rank X to use it...
5. Loadout system is not Halo AT ALL. Faster shield regen, starting with 2 primaries? Is this an arcade shooter or another recycled FPS?
6. What is with the Armor? Looks straight out of GUNDAM, but it's its own game, so I'll leave this be, stepping away from my own preferences.
7. No firefight? Kinda sucks, but with boosting and the inability to recreate the ODST experience, I'm 100% okay with it.
If I feel something should be added, I'll edit the post.
