Okay, so before you read anything else, if you're a hardcore Halo fanatic, you should probably leave, cause I'm going to say stuff that'll piss you off. If you are a Halo fanatic and decide to read ahead anyways, please recognize that this is my OPINION nothing more than an OPINION.
Are you gone?
Good!
Ever since its release, Halo 4 has gotten quite a lot of hate from the community, which I can't imagine why. The game looks amazing, it has a beautiful soundtrack, great gameplay and a fun campaign. Yes there are problems with it (i,e no playable elites, no campaign theatre, etc.) but that doesn't make it a bad game. I've spent hundreds of hours playing with my friends in creative custom games and competitive matchmaking, it's the only game I really play multiplayer in besides Battlefield.
So tell me, why does everyone hate on it so much?
[spoiler]Any hate comments or whatever will get a reply from me saying OPINION[/spoiler]
[spoiler]YOU HAVE BEEN WAAAAAARNED[/spoiler]
Edit 1: Wow, lots of replies, and such mixed feelings about it. "It's amazing" or "it's the worst Halo ever" it did this wrong, it did that right, all sorts of stuff.
I do like that there are some sensible people in the comments who actually know what they're talking about, and not just hating on H4 because everyone else is.

In a way, that is actually kind of cool. In that Halo survived long enough for its fans to grow up to be developers. But also, given that they actively sought ideas on how to change and/or improve the Halo universe, they kind of invited disaster. Step 1 was fleshing out the history of the Halo universe. There was mystery, there were gaps that inspired speculation. Now there's a hard canon timeline that lays everything out. Anyway, just some thoughts. Lastly, if you're unwilling to hear anyone's "opinion" after you asked for it, why did you ask?
