Why does Halo 4 get so much hate? I thought it was a very good game. The graphics were amazing, especially considering that it was for the 360, the gameplay was perfectly solid and not much different from the Bungie games at all, the soundtrack was different but not bad at all, it set the mood perfectly, and even the story was decent, picked up right after Halo 3, easy to follow, a smooth transition into the ‘Reclaimer Saga’. It was also critically acclaimed, so why does the Halo community bash on it so much?
The whole game felt like it was held together by bubble gum. It looked good but something was off.
I’m not sure if its the physics or frame-rate.
i loved it. i don’t get it either. i think gamers these days are just too critical. having grown up in the 8-bit era, i might just have lower standards though lol… we paid $60 for a whole lot of nothing back then, and we didn’t care cause we were just so stoked to see stuff moving on the screen.
I think people disliked the fact that they carried on the armour abilities and such. Another thing that I disliked about it, was that I didn’t have the urge to go back to play it every day. I can’t wait to play Halo 5 every day, but with Halo 4, I just preferred other games
Don’t know either. Halo 4’s not only my favorite Xbox game, but my favorite game of all time…yet, others have their own opinion about it 
I honestly think the only reason people bash on it so much is because it’s a Halo game that WASN’T made by Bungie. That’s it. Their brand loyalty (ugh) doesn’t allow them to see the game for what it really is - a really good Halo game.
maybe because its had so many blatant cod elements

No
h4 had percs, armor abilities, killcams, supply drops , no original halo music
it was a continuation of the bs reach started that ruined the core formula
h5 is a step back in the right direction to the damage caused
Halo 4 was a fantastic game with a few questionable decisions. The story is definitely one of the best any Halo game has ever had.
The COD elements certainly didn’t do much for most. It imbalanced the game enough that it stopped being fun to anyone trying to play differently. There’s a reason I never got my Suppressor mastered.
- Serious imbalance in multiplayer such as loadouts or ordnance
- The DMR as a loadout
Overall 4 is still a great game but not the best Halo out there in my opinion I think Reach is the best.

Best story except for that whole thing with halos 1,2,3,3 odst, and reach.

Yes, the COD elements in Halo 4 multiplayer is quite a turn-off to me, making it not-a-real-Halo kind of feeling. Thankfully, 343i changed it back on right track in Halo 5. The multiplayer is fun to play again.
Also, I like the Spartan Ops mode, a good gameplay addition to the franchise since Firefight mode. Hope it would have the comeback in the future.
