Since there are a lot of threads with a lot of complaints about the game I thought we might as well have a thread where we can talk about the things that we enjoy in this game.
I never thought that developers could squeeze out more juice from the Xbox 360 but Halo 4 is by far the most beautiful game I’ve seen in a long time. I’ve looked a lot at the skyboxes in the game and they are the most amazing ones I’ve seen in any Halo game.
the campaign is epic!
The only thing I like is the Bloomless DMR.
> the campaign is epic!
I would agree but the gameplay was pretty boring. The story was great though.
Both the audio, all facets, and the graphics are top-notch.
I absolutely love how 343 changed so many things to make it their game, but it is still halo at the core
It’s everything I hoped it would be… fun.
It’s a damn video game… these elitist jerks need to go outside and rethink their priorities.
Audio, graphics, storyline. That’s all actually, overall I found it to be quite disappointing because I find Spartan Ops and War Games boring.
All the weapons are awesome. It has a more realistic feel than any other Halo. I like the faster pace and the inability to camp. I like having a loadout specific to my play style. All the multiplayer maps are awesome.
Most fun multiplayer I’ve ever played.
Shiny. Infinite Sprint. Ordnance drops. The freaking amazing sound. The map layout. Most of the gametypes (SWAT is not one of them).
Graphics,
weapon balance,
loadouts (never, ever spawning with an AR FTW)
excellent hit detection,
always having sprint,
jetpack balancing,
Ragnarok,
BR and DMR in one game,
A warthog that can actually kill crap,
drop in/drop out,
the entire Promethian weapon set (options are fun)
killcams,
a good sniper,
the campaign
Spartan Ops CGI scenes are awesome additions, I loved the ones in Halo wars.
I like the customizable loadouts, even in-game. My favorite game mode is Flood and I’m liking Dominion
And I love the fast-paced gameplay, people that complain about sprint and instant respawns just cant step their game up! 
audio (except for a few guns/vehicles that sound really ridiculously weak), weapon balance (minus dmr, since it dominates most other weapons at most range, you know the drill), the campaign, visuals.
I give it a 9/10, would play all night.
i LOVE assassinations and the campaign is pretty epic
I like everything.
That is all.
I liked the following:
-Music
-Forerunner structures
-Promethean weapons
-That idiot commander
-The face modeling
-Loadouts
Thats about it…
Most of the stuff in the game i was indifferent about because it was expected, but this stuff stood out to me as being really good.
There is alot I liked about Halo 4 but the things that stand out the most are:
-Weapon and Vehicle sounds, sure I miss the old ones but the new ones sound just as awesome!
-Story and Campaign
-Cortana, I loved Cortana form her new design to her relationship with the Cheif, excellent storytelling
-The Didact, although I thought his finale was lame I thought he was a cool villain
-Return of the Covenant, I love fighting the Covenant and I sure wish The Arbiter was in the game as he is my favorite character.
-The Prometheans, its nice to have a new enemy for a change even though there were only three types.
-The Mantis, defending the flag has never been so satisfying
-Choice of Weapons, whether you choose a Ar, Br, DMR, LR, or Carbine and more there is alot of variety for weapons with similar effect. I like that and do kinda wish every Halo weapon was thrown into the game just for kicks, for customs and forge at least.
-Cutscenes, although I was iffy about the cutscenes not being in-game I quickly feel in love with them telling the story and would love to watch more.
-Music, while I don’t find it as great as before without the classic theme(minus the short Halo theme we hear at Installation 03) it is still great and stands out on its own.
Campaign was good.
Multi-player focuses more around guns, grenades, and melee then AAs like Reach did.
Maps still blow doe.
Story was great.
Graphics are great.
LOVE the audio.
Mutliplayer is USUALLY fast paced and fun.
Campaign
Spartan Ops
Multiplayer… I really want to like it, I could be winning or losing and the multiplayer would still annoy the bejesus out of me.
I just find it soooo…sloppy.
I agree with syinn a bit on the sloppy thing. I melee a guy in the head with no shields and I die with almost full shields, or I tend to get hijacked from 5 miles away. I shoot a guy in the head twice with no shields but I get shot once with shields and die - same weapon, the BR. I’m guessing some of those could be lag, but it happens far too often to only be lag. The mechanics need to be fixed a bit. However, I keep coming back because it’s fun to play regardless.
Overall, though, the game is pretty fantastic. Campaign was absolutely epic and I cannot wait to see how they are going to continue the story. Reading the Kilo-Five trilogy now to keep up with it.
Spartan Ops is pretty cool too.

As for single-player, I honestly think the campaign is flawless. The graphics are breathtaking, the action is awesome and the new perspective on the Chief-Cortana relationship is much appreciated.
Sparan Ops, I love. The added story is amazing and any excuse I have to play more Halo is appreciated. It’s a good break from matchmaking, although nowhere near as awesome as firefight.
War Games is also amazing. I love every change they made, especially Ordinance. It balances the playing field while providing good players sustaining weapons and ammo which means no more power weapon camping or team killing. The armor mods are mostly weird and I don’t like them, but there are a few saving graces (like M6).
