Okay so the tittle is kinda missleading. I really like halo 4 actually. The graphics are beautiful and the cut scenes are stunning. The game play is different from previous games but it still feels like a halo game, and above all else it's cool to finally see humanity on the rise.
However, 343 did quite a few things that also made me cringe.
Almost immdeiately I noticed that the rear section of the FUD had been replaced with that of a Stalwart frigate. It may seem weird but I think this is the thing that bothered me the most in halo 4.
Also, I don't like that they so radically changed the chiefs armor. Don't get me wrong, his armor in halo 4 looks more boss than ever, but it simply could not have changed like that while he was floating through space. alone.
343 also slacked off at some important points. Alot of the explosions and destruction effects look flat out cheap. Like the part in the beginning where they destroy a CRS with a missile. It just kinda breaks in half and floats away. Pretty dissapionting compared to the damage effects in halo 3.
And last but not least, Spartan ops. Spartan Ops was a very neat idea. The execution however was totally sub par. All they did was recycle campaign and multiplayer levels. The voice acting in spartan ops was... just kinda poor. And it all got very repetetive. The cinematics once again shine here. But the actual game play was quite lack luster.
Inspite of all these things I still like halo 4 though. The campaign was pretty epic, the multiplayer is arguably the best yet, and I'm totally enthralled with the story line. If 343 has learned anything at all, and if microsoft doesn't force unreasonable time tables on them then I think the next 2 games will be home runs.
Tell me what pissed you guys off about halo 4.
