I've been pretty skeptical about Halo 4 ever since it was announced, but now I'm convinced the Halo franchise is in good hands.
343 has added more to Halo 4 than all the Halo games combined. (that was an exaggeration). They are, however, taking risks with all the new features they are adding. What has struck me most is the new infection gametype. I've always wondered: Why doesn't Bungie just add REAL infection mode? It's because they take the safe route and they are uncertain of their decisions.
Halo Reach, for example, was (in MY opinion and many others) a disappointment. It seemed like Bungie wanted to add new features, but they were scared to go too far. Armor Abilities and Bloom are not terrible, but I have always felt that it was never their true intention to add those features. The whole game felt... it just didn't feel like something Bungie would do. Halo Reach was bad because it was moderate.
Bungie, don't disappoint me anymore.
