It’s like halo. With some new stuff. I like it just as much as I liked the other games. It’s unique, just like Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: ODST, Halo Reach and Halo Wars were unique games. I tend to enjoy sequels more when there are differences in gameplay, rather than keeping the same game intact, and ripping me off with some fancy map packs.
Rumor has it that if you view metacritic.com, it scores an 87. “Black Ops II” scores an 85. Not a huge deficit in scoring, but gaming review scores don’t mean much… this simply means that the two big shooter titles in the console gaming segment are on par with eachother in terms of the majority’s perception of the games. I haven’t played much Call of Duty, but I can tell you that Halo, and Call of Duty are apples and oranges and thus comparing the two are a waste of your time.
I’m sure Halo 4 will get old eventually, Just like the other titles. A new revision will will come out that tells more of the story. I’m sure it will look great, and add some great new enhancements to keep it modern and exciting.
