I see thread after thread Saying that Halo 4 is Not Halo.The truth is they are both right and wrong at the same time.When I look at Halo I dont see a set way things must be for it to be Halo.What I do see is Peoples Set prefference For a Halo Game .
See Halo Is differant to everyone that Plays it .To some Halo 1-3 Is true Halo,To others Reach is .I even know some people true Halo to them is Halo Wars .Then there is Halo 4 .
My Point Is Halo 4 is Halo .Everyone has a Opinion on How Halo should play.Halo 4 is not any less Halo then any other Halo.It has modifications though that change it from the Traditional Halo .
Halo 4 Is Halo It just does not fit Some peoples Opinion on How Halo should play.
On a final note dont start flamming me because my Love of Halo is the story wich has been excellent in Every Halo Game(And book).
Looks like i can agree. I mean Reach was considered “not Halo” back in the days of vanilla Reach/TU (all of which i was around for). We still played it because deep down, despite our complaints it was still Halo.
This is true for Halo 4 but it is a flawed Halo experience. Much like the rest but it has taken away features for no good reason such as custom game options, gametypes like Assault, Juggernaunt, and Invasion. File Share is currently not working either, which cripples the idea of sharing cool new maps and screenshots.
Speaking of screenshots, it’s MP only affair this time. No theater mode for Campaign and Spops.
The lack of overall polish at launch was disturbing but it has improved since those days. We really need a TU to fix the weapon balancing though.
However, if people are still -Yoinking!- and crying over the forums (regardless if they quit or not), they still care and that wouldn’t be possible if this wasn’t a Halo game. It’s just a Halo game with a lot of…controversial design choices.

Agreed .Also since when has a Halo game ever Launched that was great on Release ? I dont remember one.The TU will fix it just like past Halo’s .
Exactly, it is all a matter of opinion. For me this is not a halo game while for others it is. For me halo is arena shooter, fair playing field. I honestly dont think a tu can fix this game. I hate classed based shooters and that is exactly what halo 4 is.

> Personally, I prefer “Traditional” halo… but I’m still having fun!
Agreed .I find I enjoy Modern Halo Just as much as I do Traditional Halo .Me and My friend played 1v1 Halo 2 Yesterday .It was fun but felt slow after getting Used to Halo 4.Even though alot of People Hate it I see why Halo had to advance .
you can’t just say that any game with halo in the title is technically halo…what if the next halo game was halo: dora the explorer adventureland?
here is what a game needs to be halo
no bloom, no recoil on any weapon at any time (so not halo 4)
grenades that throw basically instantly
2 melees to kill
jump higher than the average human (so not reach)
unshielded oppenent 1 headshot kill
