I'm pretty disappinted with the multiplayer. Its hard to say just what it is, but the game just doesn't feel or play the same. Probably the Call of Duty influence. I don't see why they would make Halo more like CoD. If I wanted to play CoD, I would play CoD. I always preferred Halo's gameplay and appreciated how distinct it was from all the CoD clones out there (even every new CoD game is basically the previous game with a facelift). Loadouts, perks, streak rewards, thumbstick sprint, etc just don't belong. Not to mention continually being dropped into in-progress games, and changing weapon balances so its easier for unskilled players to score kills--I die twice as often in H4 as I do in Reach. Even the map design seems more in line with CoD. Anyways, just my two cents. Don't plan on playing much H4. At least the campaign is still Halo.
