And the best is still yet to come. Map packs havent even come out yet, doubles and MLG arent in matchmaking, and a ranking system is still to come (which hopefully is visible in game.) 343 deserves major props for making the multiplayer gameplay so exciting. It isnt perfect, but every flaw the game has is fixable and I think all in game flaws will be gone when in an MLG playlist. I loved Halo 3, but something about this games’ gameplay is more exciting to me. It feels nothing like Reach which had awful gameplay and everything else.
To the people calling this a CoD clone…open your mind a bit. I’m probably the biggest CoD hater in the world, but I love pretty much all the additions that 343i has made. Did this game take some things from CoD? Yes. But they made it somehow fit perfectly. Nothing is too overpowered like weapons and perks in CoD. This game actually takes skill and if you dont like some of the extra stuff just play slayer pro. I will probably get flamed hard for this, but this game is definately more fun than Halo 3. The only reason I could play Halo 3 for long periods of time was the fact that there was a ranking system. This game doesnt even have a ranking system yet and I havent even been bored of this game for 1 second. It doesnt even matter how many consecutive hours I play.
Is this game flawless? No. Glitches, lack of maps, lag, bad killcams, some missing playlists, no file shares yet, etc. Are Halo 2 or 3 perfect? NO! H2 was loaded with modders and H3 had derankers and host booters. Were they still awesome games? Hell yes. Is Halo 4 awesome too? Hell yes. When Halo 5 comes out I’m sure Halo 4 will be looked at as a great game (especially if 343 works on the fixable flaws listed in this paragraph.) When Halo 2 came out people hated it, now its considered he best. When halo 3 came out everybody complained about that too. Now it is praised. When Reach came out I didn’t see as much criticism in the first month. Now it is considered by everyone as the world Halo ever. Halo 4 is great, just enjoy it.
