I enjoy this much more than Reach but yes, some things are rather irritating at times. Overall though, I'm very pleased with the work 343 has done with Halo 4. The graphics and sound work are very impressive and the campaign was rather enjoyable, much more than that of Reach. It took me a little while to get used to multiplayer but I have a blast playing with friends now. I think the reason why people like you aren't fans of this game is because it isn't exactly the same as previous Halo titles. I have one question to ask you; why would you want an exact replica of a game? Games such as Call of Duty or Madden are just big wastes of money in my mind. The developers make minor changes, slap a new name on the cover, charge gamers another $60 and do this year after year. I praise 343 for wanting to add changes to Halo and implementing those mentioned changes in a rather successful manner. True, it doesn't quite feel like the old Halo games but is that really cause to bash a developer? Like I said earlier, I really enjoy this game and I think some of the changes that 343 have put into this game work very well but some could use tweaks. 343 has just taken over the Halo universe and you must imagine what a daunting task it must've been for them to please the Halo community. Some people are always going to be disappointed when a developer comes out with a new installment but I feel that this game as a whole was a large success for 343 and I'm excited to see where they go next with the Halo universe.
