Veteran Halo player here since day 1 on CE. I’ve enjoyed them all and Halo 4 is no different. In fact, I don’t remember being this addicted to a Halo in many years.
There are a few hiccups still being worked on and things like custom games, forge maps, and additional playlists we’re all waiting on but overall this is a fantastic, addicting experience.
Thank you for not only moving Halo forward, but for doing it properly.
Couldn’t agree more. Thank you for putting something positive in the forums!
I also couldnt agree more They did a an Awsome Job =D ~
100% this game is so amazing, I can’t see why so many people hate it. From the day I got halo 1 anniversary and saw they didn’t screw anything up I knew the game would be fantastic.

Many people don’t hate it (percentage wise). Game forums are always like this after a major release but they represent a small % of the overall population. Also remember the ones coming to the forum are coming to complain. The content, happy players are just playing the game. 
Yep, it’s an amazing game. I wonder how long until an iron recruit comes in and says you’re wrong and then another one quotes him and says that that guy isn’t blind like the rest. This seems to happen often on these threads from what I’ve seen.
Halo 4 is the most “addictive” halo game in my opinion.
Yup, best Halo so far. When Reach came out I didn’t liked it at first, and still I don’t like it as much as Halo 3. Halo 4 I loved from first match. It fixed almost everything that kept me away from Halo multiplayer. This game is just playable, and doesn’t need nostalgia factor (or fanboyism) to protect itself from competitors.
And campaign is epic. When I played Halo 1 on PC (years before I bought Xbox 360) I wasn’t that absorbed by world and story. I almost felt like it’s late 90’s again and Quake 2 and Unreal are coming out, showing me new, fantastic worlds.
I’ve been so addicted to this multiplayer it’s unhealthy.
w00t for 343i !
I am also a player since day one of CE and absolutely LOVE this game. Brings me back to the joys of playing Halo 2 mp. If it wasn’t for me being on stuck on 70, I’d be playing right now.

You are not the only one who enjoys campaigns but after 1 day of that you have to face reality.
My only problem with the game are some map glitches, and the broken sitrecs. Other than that, I love it.
If you have ever played a “Classic” version of Halo multiplayer, then you would see why so many hate Halo 4. Before you go and say, “well Halo changed you need to adapt or let it go!”, I’m all in for change and new additions, but I think 343 went over the top with everything they did. This game does not cater to semi-competitive players at all because of the aim assist, huge hit box, and no de-scoping. Not to mention power weapons for everyone after just a couple kills. When I say semi-competitive players, I don’t mean MLG, or those people who like to boast about themselves being a higher level, I just mean in general people who play for a challenge, or something to work towards. If they would change a few of the things I mentioned above, added in both social and ranked playlists, this game would no doubt be the best in the series. Why not benefit ALL players instead of just one side? I guess microsoft doesn’t want that though. Just looking for the money.

I find this version of Halo to be refreshing and fun – also allowing me to do well without having to play with people.
Also, the competitive player moniker can be applied to me.

The problem with these assertions is they are baseless as you’re obviously trying to prove a point.
I hosted Halo CE LAN parties for 3 years prior to Halo 2’s release. I also competed in local tournaments that were held including public game shows.
I was in the Xbox Live beta and have been on Live over 10 years now (as shown by their anniversary and my profile on Live).
I was at midnight launch for Halo 2 and played on Live since it’s release up until Halo 3.
I was at midnight launch for Halo 3 and played on Live since it’s release up until Halo Reach.
I was at midnight launch for Halo Reach and played on Live since it’s release.
I could go on. And I think that Halo 4 amazing. Yes it’s added features to the Halo sandbox and no, it doesn’t play EXACTLY like classic Halo games. I’m sorry but if that’s what you expected then I could have told you to not even bother with Halo 4. It’s 2012 and games have changed a LOT since Halo CE released especially in the multiplayer realm. 343i did what they had to do and brought Halo into the modern age.
But the KEY is that the game still plays like Halo. The tactics we all have used since CE (the nade timing, the jump strafing, etc…) are all still there and it’s an utter blast to see that Halo combined with the new.
I’m sorry if you don’t enjoy it. But don’t think making statements like “If you had played earlier Halos you would see” as they are BLATANTLY false and only further demonstrate your sad need to prove a point that doesn’t exist.

It’s like… someone got into my head and took my thoughts, threw them at a wall, and ended up with this beautiful post.
Stay out of my head, do you hear me?! Out!!!
No, but really, this is dead on and you deserve cookies for it. And 343 deserves cookies, too, with frosting Forerunner emblems on each of them.
Gratitude thread > complaint thread any day.
