John Halo is the master at pressing buttons to progress.
Shepard wins that title by far.

I only enjoy all the Halo games because I'm a huge fan boy lol

Don't use her to voice your sadness. That's not fair.

I hate you. Then again, I love Iri too much. I have a related picture. One sec.

Spoiler
Oh...

Oh
Well technically Saber doesn't know that's her daughter, but whatever. I think it could still remind her.
lolwut
.....But she's the exact image of her.

Saber's thought process is that Iri's daughter would be much older than Ilya, and she brushes it off as coincidence that Ilya is just another Einzbern humunculi. Makes sense really.

The campaign was pretty good.

The multiplayer sucked balls.

Not enough love was given to Forge.

Spartan Ops was Button Pushing Simulator 2012.

Halo 4 is okay. Story is good, but fell apart for those who weren't familiar with the backstory of characters.

Multiplayer is what you make of it. You either like it or you don't.

Forge, Theater, and Custom Games were a downgrade from Reach.

Spartan Ops was a cool ida but executed poorly.

6/10

Like who, The Didact?

Why he hates humanity is covered in-game. Even more so in the Terminals.

Azumarill · February 19, 2015, 09:29:44 PM

h4 was trash all around. the campaign storyboard must have been written by a drunken marmoset. multiplayer was god awful. what a waste of money and time. only positive thing about h4 is the gundam.

UnwornUniform · February 19, 2015, 09:46:23 PM

This thread lol.

But honestly Halo 4 was meh in my opinion. It wasn't terrible but there really wasn't anything about it that made it stand out from any of the other games.

Sigma617 · February 19, 2015, 11:05:12 PM

I hate to admit it, but the revised Halo 4 multiplayer they've pressed into service is kind of fun.

Doctor Doom · February 20, 2015, 03:48:15 AM

It had a great first level. The rest of the campaign was passable at best and laughable at worst.

The terminals in which you have to launch a separate application to view, therefore not being part of the game. And how is it explained in game? The librarian tells you that the prometheans are human and that the Didact fought a war against us and defeated us.

Mordo · February 21, 2015, 09:18:06 AM

Eh I wouldn't rate it that low but it definitely isn't a brilliant game, and certainly not a good Halo game. The story is its saving grace really.

I think this is cherry picking as nobody ever brought up the Covenant's lack of explanation in Bungie's games or Spartans themselves.

Why are the Covenant exterminating Humanity?
How did this conflict start?
Who are the Spartans,why were they created, where are the rest?
What is the UNSC?
etc

The first series literally throws you in at the end of a galactic war with nothing being explained and nobody asked questions.343I comes along with a prologue,elaborative terminals, and a plot extension through SO; but people want to criticize them for not explaining more?

The questions which weren't explained in the original series were in the books and threads criticizing bungie for that were nil.

The Terminals being located outside the game were an understandable disappointment.

The Librarian describes how Humanity is one of the Didact's greatest enemies. Actually, she outright says that, right at the beginning of her speech. Then she shows the war against humanity, how much they destroyed before the Didact stopped their advance.

It's not that advanced of a concept, and honestly, everything doesn't need to be spelled out. There needs to be a little bit left out stories, save room for critical thinking, personal connections, and leave a desire to seek out more and learn the full backstory. 343i provided us with his motives and a simple backstory, which is more than the Covenant ever got in game, mind you, and gave us the tools to seek out more of the story.
It holds up quite well enough on its own, but Halo is a story spanning books, movies, comics, and more. Halo 4 is designed to be a part of an expanding story, and in turn won't explain everything right now. 343i has already said that the Didact is to be expanded on as a character still in the future.
