I know this seems late and out of nowhere, but I just finished Halo 4 on legendary on the MCC and I thought I would put my thoughts out. Feel free to hate if you want but try to be sensible about it and respect one another (If that's even possible on B.Net) [u]Pros[/u]: -The Prometheans. They were excellently designed and fun to fight. It's good that we weren't shooting Covenant the whole game. -The Characters Cheif and Cortana's development was spot on. It was good to hear some emotion in Cheif's voice and Jen Taylor gave a FANTASTIC performance. - The Lore was deep and seeing a Forerunner in the flesh was intimidating. -The Beauty. Dear GOD this game was pretty. The varied enviroments and level designs helped to keep the campaign from getting repetitive. The Multiplayer maps looked just as good as well. -The Weapons. The new Promethean weapons were awesome to look at and fun to use. The BR's triumphant return and new UNSC weapons such as the Railgun made for some new and fun times. -NO FLOOD LEVEL. Levels with The Flood have always been hard and agitating (The Library, Gravemind, Cortana, etc.) Instead we got to fly the Broadsword Luke Skywalker style! Badass. [u]Cons[/u]: -The Final Sequence. Cortana's copies restraining the Didact was almost laughable. It could have been a lot less awkward and it sort of undercut the mood. I know the Didact had to be defeated somehow and Cheif could never do , it on his own, but the bref QTE was underwhelming and abrupt. Crawling toward the nuke was also kind of unnecessary. -Armor Abilities. These were kind if useless outside of super specific situations and felt sorr of tacked on. The only really useful one was the Thruster and even then it still felt limited. -Captain Del Rio. Del Rio felt sort of token given that he makes the worst decisions imaginable while on Requiem. Granted he has his moments and he wasn't exactly terrible, but I still felt he didn't contribute enough to the story. - Forge. Halo 4's forge was rather limited compared to Halo Reach. Plus the File Share was dissapointingly underused. -Theater. Nuff said. -OP weapons. The saw and Incineration Cannon were horrendously overpowered in the Multiplayer. (Even though they were fun to use in the campaign) [u]Undecided[/u] (basically neutral): -The Multiplayer I KNOW I'm gonna get flak for this but the Multiplayer wasn't bad. I had a lot of fun with it and played it regularly. However it definitely had it's downsides. Mainly Loadouts, Ordinance, and strange matchmaking results. (Team of 4 vs Team of 2. Riiiiight.....) The Mantis was great though. -The Armor I loved how powerful and intimidating Chief and a good chunk if the Variations looked. However, some of them were downright wierd (Oceanic comes to mind.) -Spartan Ops. On one hand, my brother and I had a ton of fun playing these. On the other, They were relatively shallow and didn't add that much to the main game. -Palmer She's cool but underused and kind if underdeveloped. -The Ending. This one has me split. Looking up at earth one final time before firing the nuke was tense and awesome. Killing Cortana was definitely the right choice and they pulled it off fairly well. But having her turn human sized was a bit....odd. The end was just....strange. Not necessarily BAD. But not great either. -Sprinting. I never minded it so I'm sort of indifferent to it. TL;DR: It's flawed but Iike it. Think of me what you will, but these are just my thoughts.
