Victory Element I clearly see that you love Halo 4, yet to say 343i want to modernise Halo 4 and make it unique is a little ridiculous when it has clearly made a game for the COD generation!
For the record I loved the Halo 4 campaign especially on the solo legendary and 'mythic' levels. Spartan ops episode 1 to 5 were not very good in my opinion, but 6 to 10 were amazing and made you feel like a spartan on 'ops' (not just go here push a button go there push a button) and the Spartan ops cut scenes were amazing fan service and perhaps give us a taste of what we can expect from the next xbox.
I myself am SR130 and have been for a while so I have played a lot of Halo 4 ! Yet for someone who has loved playing Halo as a social experience from 2 to 4 ! I feel the multiplayer has been ruined not by it's call of duty editions, I understand we live in the call of duty generation but by it's omission of a lot of what made Halo multiplayer Halo and it's a Much poorer experience for it.
Unless there is BTB objective game type or a spartan ops season 2 (even if we do have to pay for it) then my opinion of the new direction won't change but bringing back the X when a team mate dies is a step in the right direction "there are two players X" could turn the tide in a close game where players were well matched. The green spartans on St Patrick's day also felt like a return to Halo's roots. To be fair looking at the figures I don't think that I'm alone..........
