I finally picked up Halo 4 a couple days ago, and I have to say I'm really enjoying the campaign, especially the visuals aspect. Everything is gorgeous, and the gameplay isn't too shabby either.
I haven't started the multiplayer yet, but I'm guessing this is where all the contempt and hatred is originating from. But who knows, it can't nearly be as bad as Reach. I hope.

Glad you're liking the campaign! Story wise, it's my favorite of the bunch by far :3 Multiplayer is... Well I personally dislike it. The reason why people think that it's a "CoD clone" (even though it's not) is because instead of being a full out arena shooter a la Halo 1-3 (or even Reach) it's an arcade shooter with sandbox elements. It does what it's trying to do incredibly well- it's one of the best arcade shooter's I've ever played- but what it's trying to do is flawed from the start IMO. Basically, go into it without the preconception that you're going to be playing another Halo. Instead think of it as a reimagining of the arcade shooter with Halo elements.

Give it a few days, maybe a week or two and all the hatred will start to flow through you.
