Hello there Waypoint user. Today , im doing a thread about my own opinions about Halo 4 , what things are good and what things are bad IMO.
Ill try to keep this short , so lets begin!
Menu
Like everyone else , i was exited for Halo 4. Mostly because of the return of the Chief. I bought myself the limited edition and got it when the game came out. I was playing it after about 10 minutes of installing and then i noticed something. The menu and its music
The menu it self looks pretty good but at the beggining it was pretty hard to navigate. i didnt know where the custom game or the forge was. I didnt know how to change settings or loudouts or spartan. Then after a while i found all these and i was happy.
Still , the music of the menu didnt satisfy me , sure it had the little Halo feel into it , but it missed something. Every Halo game (exept ODST) had a great sounding Menu soundtrack. Halo 4 didnt have. But this is a small problem and easily ignored. So if i have to rate the menu i would give it 8/10
The Campaign
I was so exited for the Campaign that i would have jumped walls when i got Halo 4 in my hands. When i played the Campaign , it didnt feel the same how the other Halo games felt. i didnt know the reason for this , and i still dont know. But i have completed the Campaign and i have to say : i love you 343I! You did it. You did what i didnt believe at the beggining of the Campaign. I was never bored while playing the campaign and that was a suprise to me , since i got bored while playing Halo 2´s and Halo Reach´s campaign. Also the story is well written and i laughed how well 343I got the Gravity hammer in the game since there is no Brutes in Halo 4. There was only few things that i hated in the Campaign. One of the reason is that it was too bright. Most of the lights were very annoying since they were so bright. Also , i hated how many missions contained only Promethean weapons (well there was Covenant and UNSC weapons but only few) Sure , those weapons are new and Promotheans are new enemies but i wanted to use UNSC weapons mostly since the game forms around INFINITY. But the campaign overall was almost perfect and i would play it again multiple times. The campaign deserves 9.7/10
Multiplayer
This one was a dissaponment. First thing that i noticed was the lack of good playlists.
Where is SWAT? , where is FFA? , where is Assault. Im aware that these will be added to the game at some point but still…
Also most of the maps are horrible. I find that Exile , Haven , Solace and Ragnarok are the only somehow playable maps.
Im going to get alot of hate about this thread but i dont really care.
Second thing that was a bit annoying was that that when you are joined with some people to form a match , something happens and the server puts the good players on the other team , and not so good players on the other team. This has happened multiple times to me when i was playing Dominion. I dont think that it would be hard to fix this but im not a game maker.
I dont really care about loudouts since most people just use BR , DMR or (for some reason) The Suppressor.
And what i found shocking was the fact that armor abilities dont rule the game anymore , like they did in Reach. I was so happy about this.
Also the instant respawn and auto-sprint? I like em. They keep the game fast and thats good thing.
I have only 1 problme with Spartan Ops.
The missions are too easy/short. I completed one of the missions on 6 minutes on heroic.
But , if i would have to rate MP i would give it 8/10
Forge ánd customs
I wont be reviewing these since im not really a Forge or Custom game person.
So those were my opinions about the game. I would give the game 9/10. It is worth buying and i hope that people would support 343I for giving us Halo 4 and continueing the story of Halo.
