: I have to agree with Gravemind and Pkmnrulz240. There hasn't been anything in
: H4 that really makes me want to play it. I've never really had any fun in
: MM and at the end of the day it just doesn't feel like a true Halo title
: to me. While unlike, Pkmnrulz240 I've played for a lot more than a day,
: but in the end I have the same sentiment. And this is all coming form a
: huge fan of Halo. Right now, my interest in H5 will pretty much solely be
: based on what 343i actually takes OUT of the game to make it feel more
: like a real Halo game again.

If Halo 4 = Classic Halo + X, then Halo 5 could be the best game ever simply by following this formula:

Halo 5 = Halo 4 - X.

I had complete faith in 343, thinking that Bungie could no longer do Halo justice because so many people there seemed eager to move toward a different game, and that 343 would be amazing because everyone there was truly passionate about Halo. Well, Halo 4 came, and I lost all faith in 343. Honestly, give Halo back to Bungie, and tell them to release the next Halo whenever they want. I would glady wait 20 years for the next Halo game rather than have to suffer through another 343 catastrophe.

I mean, seriously. There are not enough negative synonyms I can use here. Halo 4 is truly atrocious. I mean, FFS, mechs? Come on. THAT'S NOT HALO, THAT'S STUPID. The *facepalm* I did when I first saw the Mantis on Valhalla was far more epic than the Picard + Riker facepalm could ever have hoped to be.
