The Campaign was good, the multiplayer was shit.
The problem:
The Halo Franchise has an established community/ fanbase. By throwing out the old game mechanics (essentially) to make the game more friendly to new players they alienated the Halo veterans. In the end the problem is something they thought was a good idea- they created an entirely new game that is completely different for all its predecessors. Thats a risky move. Thats also why CoD hasn't changed much over the years- its hard to recreate an established franchise correctly. Halo 4 had chance of recovering from the mistakes, at least until that GDC press conference. You don't show an image representing your community in a wheel chair. That moment killed off Halo 4's chance of recovering, and may prevent 343i's next game from seeing much success. 343i's actions in general, though done with good intentions, are a disgrace.

For me, the campaign was garbage and too easy. People complained about the Promethean Knights being too hard on Legendary but they actually weren't. They were predictable. I even have the LASO emblem to prove how easy the campaign was.

But I actually thought the multiplayer was decent. Not as good as Reach though

Because they thought they could make more money by appealing to the Cod kiddies who would inevitably get back on Blops 2 a week later. Nothing excuses 343's stupidity.

For sure. Sure we want new stuff in a game, innovation, but if said innovation takes the game into COD mode, just keep everything from Halo 3, bring something back that wasn't in it from Halo 1 or 2(to provide "innovation", and add the story from Halo 4. I don't even think its necessary to change a game for every iteration. Halo 3 was great, if they just added a new story and new multiplayer maps and modes, it would be a new Halo but not be all wonky and ruined.

What's interesting now is 343 is now alienating those remaining targeted players from COD who liked load outs and the infinity setting and now have no choice but to play The Pro settings in BTB. No radar in BTB seems to ensure that one segment will completely destroy the other and drive them off to other games. Well right on cue they are being shown the door in both the forums and playlist further dwindling their already depleted population. Good job Halo community for completely making everyone hate each other and the Halo experience.

Good job 343i for trying to put in bullshit no one wanted and having 90% of the fan base quit playing your game 3 months after launch.
