To be honest Im lost here. Halo 4 is fantastic. How they were able to manage the beauty as well as gameplay is astounding to me, especially for their first go around. I think a huge issue with these games now is that we have all become jaded, and we forget how well made these games are. Halo 4 is balanced in almost every regard. The took community input straight from Halo 3 era and put it into the game, for example the buffed AR and more consistently used secondary weapons. I will admit, its not Bungie, and they might not ever reach the standard Bungie left for them. But who could? I think they did a great job, and if you read all of the post and talk from Bungie, they are proud of what Halo has become as well

343i is composed of industry professionals. This is not their "first go around".

Its their first time with the reins to themselves. Most of them were Bungie employees, or members of Rockstar that left. So I agree, I never said they weren't professional. But the fact is that it is the FIRST official game from 343i, Halo Anniversary and the map packs just being testers for them. But if you don't like Halo 4 thats your opinion, but it has nothing to do with the skill in the game, which is the most important part. I agree the servers need some work. But a good test for any competitive game is to send out a button mashing noob vs any talented player, and if the noob is able to even have a chance then the game is not competitive and well made. This is 100% not the case in Halo 4.
