Wait what? H4 has solid core mechanics and just about flawless latency. Its problems mostly stem from the insanely stupid idea of trying to make the best graphics ever at the expense of all gameplay. Add to that all the cluelessness, twrrible maps, terrible writing, redundant weapons, so many other problems, and you see why the game sucks. No anniversary edition will fix all of this. The fix? Halo 5 ideally.

: And I did say the maps were awesome. I love LANning it just because of those
: maps. Can't get enough of Containment, oh baby.

If only we could have played together back then. Containment was so freaking awesome.

: I also just remembered that I disliked Halo 2 because they made the Ghost and
: Banshee sound stupid. I liked the whine they had in CE. When a Banshee
: buzzed your head and that distinct whine followed it- so intense.

: Halo 2 did to Covy vehicles what Halo 4 did to the hog for me.

The Banshee was pretty fun though. Not a broken overpowered monster like in Reach.

: I was OK with Halo 3's story. I was hoping for some kind of huge battle with
: the Gravemind but was quite sad when it didn't happen.

To elaborate, while H3 was decent on its own, it delivers just about no pay off from what H2 had set up for it. Majorly disappointing. First half of the game just about all worthless.
