[/quote] here is how they destroyed Halo 4 >>> Removal of Assault >>> Removal of VIP >>> Removal of Juggernaut >>> Removal of Race >>> Removal of Scoring for CO-OP >>> Removal of Human Air Vehicles from MP >>> Removal of Brute Chopper >>> No Sprint is not option in custom games >>> Covenant are not understandable and look like they have leprosy. >>> The didact's teeth make his otherwise OK character design seem ludicrous. >>> Too many campaign moments where you are constantly going from one area to another putting your little USB drive with cortana in it into a forerunner console. >>> Should Have been like "Combat Evolved 2". Turned out to Be "Reach 2 + some Call of duty elements". >>> Removal of Wave Based Firefight with replacement via the lackluster Spartan Ops >>> No Arbiter >>> NO Ability to play as Elites or even Promethian Knights >>> Removal of Classic CTF >>> Removal of Weapons on Map >>> Too many "Arena Style" maps that are not good for objective gametypes. ( only map I can think of that is not arena style is Ragnarok which the butchered with the addition of the Mantis ) >>> Recoil on Hit and No zoom out in Multiplayer >>> DMR OBSCENELY overpowered making other ranged weapons undesirable. >>> Sarah Palmer says Either "Crimson" or "Crimson Squad" at least 40 times in each Spartan Ops mission. >>> Stale Dialogue ( see above ) >>> Addition of Camo to Loadouts and Camo is almost unseeable. Leads to snipers with Camo Camping. >>>P oor Forge Pallets for Non-Forge maps >>> No new multiplayer Vehicles besides the unweildy Mantis >>> Plasma Grenades are nearly useless due to short blast radius compared to frags. >>> Promethian Grenades are Even more Useless than Plasmas >>> Main enemy revealed before game launch in ads ( no surprise ) >>> Very Few surprises or twists and turns. >>> Ending included Quicktime moment. >>> You get to see a Halo Ring but there is no mission on it. That is the ultimate Anti-climax in mission design. A horrible choice. >>> Endrun was just a Star Wars Trenchrun rip off and almost felt like you were "on rails" >>> Campaign moved too slowly when it needed to go faster and too fast when it needed to slow down. It was a55 backwards in flow and pacing. >>> 5-10 covenant ships above the infinity just floating there doing nothing is huge plot hole. >>> Del Rio character was developped and then written out. Made no sense. >>> Sarah Palmer is a poor substitute for SG. JOhnson and makes you want her captured and killed by the covenant. Yes, she is that annoying. >>> Pelican design was butchered. >>> Main Menu is Inferior to Halo Reachs' >>> Menu Layout is Schitzophrenic. >>> GRAPHICS, MUSIC and ( some ) SOUND DESIGN were great though. Thats about it ! [Edited on 11.21.2012 5:56 PM PST]
