Yea I was wondering why the thread was locked and all the complaint threads were unharmed. I'm glad to see you made a second one so more people can post replies to it.
But back to the topic... I like halo 4 as much as the other ones (I even bought the limited edition xbox). I understand where some of the heat is comming from. 343i changed a lot of things. Some good, some bad. But in my opinion most changes are better than no changes. Sure the old halo gameplay was a winning formula, but it gets dull if you keep releasing the same stuff (looking at you CoD >.>). Let's just hope 343i keeps up the good work and learns from the few mistakes they made.
