As far as I can tell you just really liked Halo 3 and dont like change.

If they made the game exactly like Halo 3 you probably would have been complaining about how they didn't change anything. Like MW2 compared to MW3, they were just too similar. 343 Studios did a great job expanding to the game and adding new features, also I like the new ranking system, I hated how in a month I got to colonel and never ranked up after that.

I think this is an amazing game, much better than most of the CODs.

I'd say you should just stick with Halo 3 if you like it so much.

Campaign was horrible
Multiplayer was average at best

I think they worried too much about trying to keep up with games like call of duty they got caught up in the race like battlefield.

Seriously,the best part of Halo 3 was the custom games and forge,i always found the game extremely overrated with a weak story and basic multi-player (halo 3). but Custom games would keep me on forge or Bungie.net everyday of the week so i could play with friends. Custom games had so much potential and the maps on Halo 3 were good, the H4 maps were albeit large,but they had nothing on the halo 3 maps.

Halo 3 was indefinitely better than Halo 4, Too be honest i enjoyed Farcry 3 more than anything this year, Dishonored too was amazing, but that's not related

You can't just think that every new Halo game they release is going to be JUST like halo 3, and doing the same thing over and over. They HAVE to change the game to make it more interesting for people to play and keep them coming back. Sometimes the change isn't for the better, sometimes it is.

GRWL wrote It's a shame to see such a beautiful and deep franchise absolutely ruined like Halo 4 has done. I've been playing all the Halos since day one. Words cannot describe how much this game "sucks".

Campaign
Where to begin? The campaign has more holes than Swiss cheese. Master chief has more dialogue than any other Halo game... combined. This ruins the mysterious and dark aspect of his entire persona. The whole campaign lasts like 5 hours, and hardly makes any sense. it's just one plot twist after another. Oh, and I know MC is invincible and all... but how many times does he crash a damn plane and get up without a scratch? Not to mention the ending ::spoiler alert:: How he self detonates a nuclear bomb and survives like it was nothing... Who designed the campaign? A team of space monkeys? The enemies make no sense of who they are or where they came from, especially the boss. And speaking of the boss, how does he even die? Cortana jumps on him and electrocutes him to death? Probably the worst and short-lived campaign I've ever played of any game.

Mulitplayer
As if 343 didn't screw up the game enough already...
The MP isn't even Halo anymore, it's just CoD with Halo textures. There are now "perks"??? HAHAHA this is just pathetic. it takes the entire "Halo" aspect of the game and throws it out of the window. Now the game isn't played fairly, it's played for whoever has a better perk setup. You can now make you shield regenerate quicker, and can spawn a shield in front of you in the middle of combat? The game is literally made for defensive gameplay. If someone shooting at you, all you have to do it SPRINT behind a wall. Or you could just spawn a SHIELD directly in front of you as you're being shot. Or wait! You could use a SPEED BOOST to burst away from combat, like a true brave soldier! 343 is feeding off of CoD to make their game. The vehicles are incredibly overpowered. Weapons are scarce to find on the map, now that there is an "ordnance drop". Speaking of those drops, WHY?!?! Just why?! Such a stupid thing to add. But again, 343 is just trying to copy off of CoDs killstreaks. The game has been out for over a week and yet there hasn't been one patch... It's nearly impossible to find a game that doesn't lag and restart. I'm starting to think they are running their servers off of computers from the 90's. Oh and the ranking system??? What a joke! The ranking system was designed for 5 year old babies. Nevermind, 343 just copied off of CoDs ranking system. But what's the difference? Get XP, rank up. Rinse and repeat. No skill involved.

I'm all for a game changing for the better, and think it's good when a game adds new and better stuff. But 343 didn't change the game to different, they changed it to be the SAME!! The same as EVERY OTHER FPS! Halo was the one FPS that was different. It was actually fair to all players. Halo series is absolute trash now.

With all this being said, i'm still finding ways to have fun on the MP. With all the terrible, game-ruining things, there are still ways to enjoy the gameplay. Teaming up with friends is always fun in any game, and when you do good, you have fun.

I can't be the only one who thinks this game is too different to even be considered a Halo game. Anyone else agree or have any other opinions?

They were trying to humanize Master Chief, you **** idiot.
