I have played Halo 3 avidly since 2008 (ever since I got a 360). Halo 3 has been my favorite multiplayer game and it offers the best, most balanced, and most competitive gameplay. That being said I really do enjoy Halo 4 multiplayer. I think it is extremely well done so far. I think it really feels balanced and every weapon has a purpose. I prefer the BR to the DMR of course. With a couple updates with a true ranking system and some more competitive maps it will be Halo 3's successor. I am really surprised how well 343 pulled it off. I even like all the loadouts and CoD like additions that was skeptical about at first.
