It won't be when Halo 5 comes out. When Halo 5 comes out, Halo 4 will be regarded as one of the best Halo games if not the greatest video game ever made.

Why bother to even ask this question anymore it's obvious why people don't like Halo 4.

Halo 4:[spoiler][u]Pros[/u] -[b]Master Chief + Cortana's Story[/b] (Strongest part of Campaign) -[b]Promethean Enemies[/b] -[b]Promethean Weapons[/b] -[b]Cutscenes[/b] (Like a movie) -[b]Characters[/b] (Solid) -[b]Master Chiefs HUD[/b] ([url=http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/260/5/4/halo_4_hud_by_alexnator-d5f1cfy.png]Pic for reference[/url]) -[b]Art Style/Graphics[/b] (Not as good as Reach, but still good) -[b]Helpful New Forge Tools[/b] (Duplicate, Lock/Unlock, Magnets, Anti-Gravity) -[b]Dynamic Lighting in Forge[/b] -[b]Spartan Ops Cutscenes[/b] -[b]Bloom[/b] (No longer an issue) -[b][i][u]ARMOR LOCK IS OUT![/b][/i][/u] [u]Cons:[/u] -[b]Unanswered questions in Campaign[/b] (Relies on extended universe for context) -[b]Campaign not repayable[/b] (Unlike past games, with Reach as the exception) -[b]Covenant Enemies[/b] (Step down from Reach) -[b]Only three types of Prometheans[/b] (Can get repetitive easily) -[b]Boring levels[/b] (Except for the first three) -[b]No Campaign Theater[/b] (WTF) -[b]Music[/b] (Not as good as past games) -[b]Original Weapon/Vehicle sounds replaced[/b] (Warthog, Man-Cannon, Battle Rifle, Grenades, the list goes on and on) [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMaKVDEBqoY]-[b]No Forge World equivalent[/b] (Until over five months after release) -[b]File Sharing System Broken[/b] (Until 2-1/2 months after release) -[b]Custom Game Options stripped[/b] ([i]Huge[/i] step down from Reach) -[b]Game-modes taken away[/b] (Invasion, Race, Juggernaut, Infection, etc)[/url] -[b]Spartan Ops Overall[/b] (Not a worth successor to Firefight [i]at all[/i]) -[b]Fully customizable Loadouts[/b] (Just... doesn't work at all) -[b]Forced Sprint[/b] (Sprint is good, [i]when it's optional[/i]) -[b]AAs are back[/b] (Woo hoo) -[b]No UNSC flying vehicle[/b] (WTF) -[b]Multiplayer maps[/b] (Except for Haven and Adrift) -[b]No set weapon locations on maps[/b] (WTF) -[b]Instant Respawn[/b] -[b]No playable Elites[/b] (WTF) -[b]Spartan Armor[/b] (For the most part, sucks) -[b]Ranking system[/b] (Following in Reach's footsteps) -[b]Playlist Management[/b] (Speaks for itself) -[b]UI[/b] (Huge step down from Reach) Overall, a disappointment.
