lets be honest there was absolutely 0 creativity in the campaign. the reason being b/c every level was ripped out of another halo game that bungie had did. I didn't have fun because i knew exactly what to do b.c i had done it before. promethans aren't a worthy enemy, all they require is a large amount of bullets to kill. At the same time elites were dumbed down from reach which sucks because the AI in reach was amazing. pelican and falcon mission are the exact same mission except they look different. lazy on 343 part. multiplayer has too many elements from other generic fps games which changes the fabric of halo. its no longer halo its call of halo as some are now calling it. this is why multiplayer numbers havent gone above 500,000 yet and will drop a lot after tonight bc of call of duty. Instant respawn ruins halo b/c it runs the pace of the game up so you are constantly dying b/c there is no time for your shields to recharge. loadouts aren't a problem if the pace of the game is slowed down. spartans ops has no replay value like firefight had. since they dropped firefight they should of kept scoring to add replay value tothe mode. Also you can die as much as you want which is stupid. in the end out of my group of friends, those who played halo from CE hate halo 4 because it is no longer halo. those who started with 3 and have only played 3, reach and now 4 love halo 4. they are not use to the slow paced halo style which has been abandoned in this game. halo 4 is a good game if you look at it as a game by itself away from the halo franchise. but when you look at it as a halo its garbage. much like resident evil 6 which is a fun game but when you think about all the other resident evils you go oh this isn't resident evil its -blam!-. halo 4 multiplayer will have a quick death like reach did unless 343 fixes the game quickly. in the end bungie will have the last laugh.
