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?

*****SPOILERS INCLUDED*****
If you even listened to the dialog, you would know that 1. The Didact didn't die, and 2.Cortana teleports Chief so that the nuke doesn't hurt him.
Also, you can't use the speed boost on demand, you either have it, or don't. And, you can't shoot while using the shield, so it is worthless.

SPOILER! If you didnt know about the nuke and the ending cortana saved him. Maybe you should pay attention a tad more to the cutscenes, and its not just like CoD JUST because it has a few things from it, if anything i think its good they have these 'perks' it brings a new aspect to the game.

I'm tired of people saying they copied Call of Duty. Halo is evolving and will have changes. Look at Call of Duty, they make no changes and the games get worse and worse. With Halo 4 it changed the Halo franchise for the better. The so called "perks" does not give anyone a certain advantage. Weapons are balanced as can be. All in all 343 has made a massive entrance in the Halo franchise.

I have to disagree with you about the MP. I think the loadouts are actually fair, giving the player some control over what they choose. There's a very limited gun choice, so it also makes the game fair. And Reach gave players armor abilities, Halo 4 just lets you choose the ones you want in your loadout. And the XP system is basically the same as reach except for the specializations. You don't like sprint either? It just makes the game more convenient for the player, especially on big maps. I personally like the changes to MP, it gives the game more variety. If I wanted a game just like 3 or Reach, I'd just play them. Just my opinion.

agreed.
I miss the random weapon placement or spawn and you would go there and pick it up.
now we just use load outs not pick up weapons but use ordinance drops which means no small maps.
I like the armour ability and everything new but it doesn't feel like the old Halo games, I am still going to support it through out the years thou.
I am not getting black ops either because its zombie is not as good, and the multiplayer is not as good as cod 4.
This generation is going to have bad games.
I miss the old days and old generation of games
