A brand new company taking over a well-known franchise is almost guaranteed to -blam!- it up on the first round. While I still don't understand how they took a functional feature (forge) and made it worse, all things considered Halo 4 is right about what I expected it to be. I enjoy playing multiplayer, but my preferences have changed from previous games; I no longer enjoy CTF (should have remained unchanged in my opinion), but regicide is a fun upgrade to an underrated Halo 3 gametype (VIP). Vanilla slayer feels much more fast-paced than previous games, which is both good and bad. I like being able to spawn with my favorite gun, but I'm not a fan of the ordinance/no-weapons-on-map system. I think what's causing so much agony for people is that they changed [i]too much[/i].
