The Reviews Speak for Themselves

I knew that Halo 4 was going to be a major hit. I knew that 343 was going to do a fantastic job and that they weren’t going to mess anything up.

When I woke up thismorning I was happy to hear that:

  • Joystiq gave Halo 4 a 5/5
    Destructoid gave Halo 4 a 10/10
    IGN gave Halo 4 a 9.8/10

IGN also said this about Halo 4:

  • Astonishing aesthetic, AI, presentation.
    Unbeatable sound design.
    Impeccably paced campaign.
    Endless, balanced multiplayer.
    Still-unmatched social multiplayer options.

Now I didn’t read the reviews to avoid spoilers if there were any, I just wanted to see the numbers.

I just wanted to congratulate everyone at 343 Industries for what they have done. I also wanted to thank them for all the hard work that they have put into this and are still putting in to it.

Go 343 and keep up the fantastic work!

If 343 has performance and reveiw based bonuses, they’re very happy right now.

Im assuming they got early access to the game but they should really not release the rates until the launch date. but that is good to know that halo 4 is going to be great.

Halo 4 is one step closer to become the best game of this year, now we need to see what the fans overall reaction of the game is, but I think it’s safe to say, it’s going to be in the green zone and halo 4 will be one step closer to GOTY, well done 343 industries!

This Post just made my day.

Great job everyone at 343i, you earned those reviews!

I’m glad I made this post now! Normally when I click on people talking about how the game will do its always negative but seeing that the people so far have posted positive…well yeah, it makes me happy.

I cannot wait to play this fantastic game and I know 343 will only go up from here!

I have alway hated negative people on this forum, just to quick to judge and they haven’t even played the game, it makes me wonder why people even pre-ordered if they think its going to do so bad…

I don’t listen to reviews for anything other than entertainment. Games never get bad reviews a week before launch.

That, and then they go on a rant saying how they are going to cancel the pre-order and how it’s going to be horrible.

But enough of that, Halo 4 is going to be completely awesome and incredible! Four days left!

Not gonna lie, I believe the IGN (video) review nearly brought a tear to my eye… lol

That’s great!..I guess. I am avoiding the reviews, reading them/watching them, I just want to see numbers. Numbers won’t give spoilers…I think.

And all these good reviews won’t do anything to stop the -Yoink- storm that is going to hit these boards on Tuesday.

Still almost seems like 50+ days till launch, haha. Still remember those days, the few day wait is almost worse than the few months wait.

I found that both the IGN and Gamespot reviews don’t deliver much (if anything at all) in the way of spoilers, but Gamespot did reveal a few things I would’ve preferred to see for myself instead of hearing about it from them first. If you’re familiar with the books (or read them) and if you know the game story well enough there really isn’t anything in the way of spoilers if you read/watch the IGN review.

Halo bro’s :smiley: Halo is going to be AMAZING!

343 really deserves this. Even for the people not pleased with the game, they should know you can’t please everyone. The team downers can not negate the fact that 343 still put all their time and energy into making a great game. The are very detailed with everything going about in Halo 4.

This is their moment, and they should be happy. Now we get chance to experience their 10/10 game. They pour all their heart and determination into the game, while giving us a price on it. They profit from us buying the game, receive nice feedback, and get to see the majority of our community pleased and enjoying the game. It’s a win win for everyone. 3 cheers for them! It isn’t easy taking over the halo franchise, revamping it, and barring the proud halo community.

The reviews smack of “thanks for the $ MS!” but on the other hand, the reviews are meaningless. I’m still getting the game and am going to be playing the hell out of it :slight_smile:

That is all well and good, but I’m not going to claim Halo 4 is good until I play it. Like Siri said, high profile games hardly get bad reviews at launch.

Man I don’t even think these reviews are fair because we haven’t seen all the Spartan Ops sequences or missions yet.
