All the games campaigns have been fun, but if the new one has a screwed up campaign couopled with meaningless (at least to me) multiplayer why get it. so I would rather wait to hear what people think, dont wanna play it and feel I wasted money on a Halo game dont think I could live with that lol

its not just the ranking system though I feel like the have no concept of what Halo is and will make more changes and even ruin the campaign

They havent stayed on that path it drastically changed with Reach! Power ups, jet packs, and the ranking all lame changes completley different from 1,2, and 3.

Ive played every Halo campaign upon the night of release since 2 . Completing each game within a few days with my friends. Even when I moved to the east coast we kept tradition and played the Reach campaign through over live the night of, me having to wait til 3 AM just for them to get it. The Halo series means so much to a lot of people that we could count on Bungie to not let us down and the never did with campaign. Even with Reach I loved the campaign but thats not what keeps Halo fans coming. Competitiveness is what made all the hardcore fan boys from the beginning, because once the campaign is old we needed to be the best out of all our friends or random people online. Thats what kept me up everynight round after round, honing my skills. I was very good at all the Halos that came out, My levels were above 40 up until there was no more. That no more was Reach and took a major hit on my online experience which in essence is the hook of Halo, what keeps fan boys coming back. I played Reach online for a while and yes it was fun, but it was aggrevating having all these people having the same status as me who werent even good or Higher ranking than me?!?! I could only handle that for so long and eventually stopped. Now 343i had a chance to not continue down the failed Reach path and go back to what made the series and Xbox for that matter. All Im reading and hearing though is more changes to the formula (Default Sprinting, mod weapons, armor perks, etc) I mean whats next dont allow me to use the original controller settings, all this stuff equals a failed game. So until I hear different I wont even think of Pre ordering. But Im hoping the game comes out and Im proved wrong.

Why dont we just got back to the Halo 2 & 3 formula that made the consistant online players wanna play. I hate COD because its so damn easy, no skill involved what so ever. Im very skeptical of Halo 4 and have a good feeling 343i is going to make something that a ton of people will like (COD) but is just a kids game with no challenging aspects.

1-50 Ranking plz. Give me a reason to play for hours upon hours again
