I don’t like halo 4. It’s not a terrible game, but it’s not a good one either, a hollow shell of the Halo universe with the cream filling removed and replaced with something bland and tasteless.
It reminds you of Halo, but it’s not Halo. Nothing is “improved”, it’s just different, and there’s a great deal less of it too. The Prometheans are terrible enemies, not at all fun to fight. Their weapons are boring and uninteresting, and the game’s campaign FORCES them on you. The music is forgettable at best, you can mute it and not notice a difference. The new design ethic feels like it doesn’t even belong in the same evolutionary tree as Halo, especially the new Spartan IVs and Marine BDUs. The new multiplayer format, why try to be like Call of Duty; Halo was distinct, this is just depressing. Spartan OPs makes me miss Firefight, which I originally didn’t care for in the first place, but at least Firefight mixes it up a bit instead of throwing the same mission and recycled audio back at you. Worst of all the fireshare is STILL broken 2 months after release.
It also doesn’t feel worth the asking price. Content-wise it lines up more with ODST than Reach or even 3.
Again, I won’t say it’s a terrible game, it’s just not a good one, and what irritates me is that this is what we’re getting now instead of real Halo.(I liked reach for the most part to)
HERE IS THE FIX(atleast for halo 5):
let me say this if 343i don’t go back to CLASSIC ARENA SHOOTER STYLE GAMEPLAY like halo 1-2-3 with little improvements which change the game alot they will fail. Don’t change it to much but only alittle which can change the gameplay alot e.g equipment,dual wielding and forge(forge seems little if you think about it but creativity from the community makes it big). AA’s changed the gameplay too much so did all those new codified features in halo 4. Like yoinky! loadouts bring back good maps and arena style gameplay like halo 1-2-3 but slightly improved and some new changes, SOME!!!
Most of that 1million who pre-ordered halo 4 never wanted a “codified reach” or another reach they wanted another halo 3.
The only thing I like about cod is that they keep the game the same with every new installment but CHANGE THE GAME VERY SLIGHTLY. Not to much like halo 4 and they don’t rip off much either. I mean look at the new league play they got and the new tranzit mode. They are very little changes but can change the gameplay in a big way to something which halo 1-2-3 used to do.
Halo 4 might be to late but halo 5 won’t be. If halo 5 goes in the direction of halo 4 the sales will be poor indeed.

(you know I have a feeling that i’m going to be banned for saying this because this has happened to me many times before. I say something about the game which is bad and the mods get all angry at me along with the defense force and ban me.Good times, good times indeed…not!)
