so i just want to say thanks to 343 for really delivering with halo 4. i have played every halo game. to get this out of the way...bungie did a great job creating the halo universe. i would have to say that halo 3 was my fav by bungie. it was a great campaign, fun multiplayer, and they gave us forge. odst and reach were just ok to me. i didnt buy this at launch because the halo (game) series was getting just a bit blah to me.
so i get on the forums to check out peoples opinions and its 80% hate for this game. and to tell you the truth from a fps gamer, a halo and cod player, i can see every game having problems but in halo 4's case, i think its not that halo 4 has big issues, but that the majority of the community doesnt like change. its not 343, its the fact that they were expecting a replica of the past. i mean, there are people who say that 343 ruined halo 4 because they put things like sprint in the game. wow. excuse the devs for wanting to modernize their product and try to give us something new. its like they have no real legit complain so they got to nit pick it.
343 you did a wonderful job with the game, especially the campaign. i think that on legendary its one of the most challenging of the series, the graphics, the sound, the new direction with enemies, weapons and the story for me make this my favorite halo campaign to date. even the music played as you work your way through the final mission made me feel i was fighting right alongside master chief. the connection between master chief and cortana was taken to a depth that hasnt been done before. i think you developed the character of master chief better in halo 4 than any before you. i personally am looking forward to your next project especially the next halo. you had big shoes to fill and you already outgrew em. keep up the good work!
