just wondering people’s views
Uh, no. And if it had been then this forum would have been filled with people hating on 343 for their failure to innovate. It’s a no win situation. Anything they could have done would have annoyed somebody, and as I said before, the annoyed are very vocal. Don’t believe everything you hear. Especially on a random internet forum. Aliens are not coming to get you. The American way of life is not doomed. Vaccinations are not killing our children. And Halo 4 is not a bad game.

I agree with OP. I think Halo 4 should have been like a ‘Halo 3.5’, maybe named ‘Halo 4: Awakening’ or something like that. I don’t think it deserves the official title of ‘Halo 4’.
A little.
They innovated plenty, but a lot of what they did was just copying from other games. Take load outs, for example. Instead of spawning into the map with whatever then finding better weapons, there becomes a meta of which is the best combo to spawn. Since you’ve already got a decent combo, you’re more inclined to camp. It really changes the overall feel of the game. Quake has a really nice feeling to it, because everyone spawns with a gauntlet and a machine gun, if you want anything better you have to fight for it or find it. It’s the exact same feeling Halo CE, 2, and 3 have as you spawn in-game with whatever weapon and you just duke it out.
Also, grunts sound like robots and you don’t need to animate pressing a button. It reminds me of the most recent Thief title which was a total flop, all I remember from it is watching my character waste time by making some flamboyant animation with his hand to pick up some trinket and I never bothered to finish it. In Halo 4, a lot of time spent speed running is lost waiting for buttons to activate, watching a button being pressed, or from in-game cutscenes. Then jump back to Halo CE and speed run and it’s night and day.
Halo 4 was great, don’t try to mix the halos becuase the games are vastly different from their own kind and even spin offs. Most of us do not want a repeating halo game with minimal change.
