In Response To: Halo 4, fans, and 343 (Schooly D)

Okay, so whilst I agree that it seems the majority of people here did not like Halo 4, I can't sit here and let that be the only opinion in this thread (even though that is the point of the thread, and what follows is not going to be what you're after at all).

I enjoyed Halo 4. It felt a lot like Halo to me. It was great to be back in the shoes of the Chief, the character, movement, jumping, shooting etc all felt more powerful and 'tank like' just as promised. There's something about playing as the Chief that is just a lot more fun, and a lot more HALO, than playing as an ODST or SIII. It's what defines the series IMO.

And I think 343 nailed it.

I found the level design, mission design, story, graphic and art style, character design, all really really good and consistent with the universe. Yes, not everything was exactly the same as before, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. And besides, Halo Reach had a very different visual style to Halo 1: it's just that games evolve.

It wasn't perfect, but it was definitely on par with H1&3 in my eyes. I'm looking forward to H5.
