I've been pretty skeptical about Halo 4 ever since it was announced, but now I'm convinced the Halo franchise is in good hands.
343 has added more to Halo 4 than all the Halo games combined. (that was an exaggeration). They are, however, taking risks with all the new features they are adding. What has struck me most is the new infection gametype. I've always wondered: Why doesn't Bungie just add REAL infection mode? It's because they take the safe route and they are uncertain of their decisions.
Halo Reach, for example, was (in MY opinion and many others) a disappointment. It seemed like Bungie wanted to add new features, but they were scared to go too far. Armor Abilities and Bloom are not terrible, but I have always felt that it was never their true intention to add those features. The whole game felt... it just didn't feel like something Bungie would do. Halo Reach was bad because it was moderate.
Bungie, don't disappoint me anymore.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RyanW [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] RaptorSevereP88 How often do you hear someone saying that they are making something better than Halo? As a matter of fact, how often do you actually see a developer say that their game is going to be better than another one in general? Even IW doesn't do that. Again, those are some strong words. I wouldn't say that unless I could back it up.[/quote] Both Crysis and Killzone developers said their games were going to be the Halo killers. They failed miserably. [/quote] I want to see the proof of that. Even still, neither of those developers have track records like Bungie. Guerilla makes killzone right? How often do you see their name pop up? Bungie has tons of conversations going on about them, without them even having to officially announce their new game.
