Halo 4

A lot of other reviews bash the new art style of this game compared to the original 3 by Bungie but they don't talk about the story.

The original 3 Halo games tell an epic story about the mysterious Forerunners and saving humanity and the galaxy from the misguided Covenant.

After playing through all of the halo games in sequence I can say that none of them really dive into the character of Master Chief or Cortana with any depth. In Halo 3 we get to see a glimpse of the impression that Cortana has on Chief but even that is limited. If anything we get more character development from the Arbiter than any human character.

Halo 4 is the only game that actually focusses on Master Chief and Cortana. Master Chief is no longer a just a guy that says one-liners in cutscenes, he is a deeply damaged person who has ties and connections with people (or A. I.).

Halo 4 may not look like a Bungie Halo game but it's story rivals that of any single bungie halo title, except maybe Reach.

Now let me tell ya...Halo 4 is the best halo game to date. It has good multiplayer,campaign, graphics, and co-op too.

The multiplayer is fun and stuff. It has lots of great maps like Longbow and Adrift. The multiplayer has all the game modes any shooter fan would ask for like TDM,FFA,CtF, and even Infection! The multiplayer rarely ever lags and is very stable. The game's customization is better than ever with over 100 sets of armor with thousands of combinations. Halo 4 is also the first Halo game to introduce customizable load-outs in Public matchmaking. If you prefer default load-outs like Halo 3, those game types are still playable. The Forge mode is new and improved with 4 forge maps with hundreds of addable items, blocks, and buildings.

The campaign is more cinematic in Halo 4, the new graphics engine and lighting help it become if not the best looking game to ever come out on the Xbox 360. It has a Very good story with a very good diversity in missions, never letting anything get old.

Halo 4 is the best Halo game and deserves a complete 10 in my opinion!

I have to admit, the halo franchise is something I have had very little experience in and know next to nothing about. But after getting hooked on halo 4 I can make a guess of what they they're all about. Halo 4 is revolved around master chief escaping after being kidnapped. the story and gameplay are both engaging and interesting but even compare to the maps and not to mention the graphics. the basic tactic to halo is to engage into combat and eliminate the enemy. compared to other shooter games such as modern warfare which is all tactical halo is just fun. there is very little thinking required its just pick varies weapons, engage the enemy and try not to get killed. Although the story to halo 4 isn't as good as the others (so I've heard) fans wont be disappointed, and if your not a halo player (like me) you'll still have a blast!

Wasn't as good as Halo Reach but it was still an enjoyable game. I liked how they added grifball as a mainstay gamemode.

I have loved Halo sine its birth on xbox, many a day, night and another day spent playing with my friends and then (later with the release of Halo 2), fellow gamers online. I have enjoyed the whole series, and followed it closely. I have always loved the campaigns and online game play. Recently I got a little bored with Reach online and so put it down for a while, but OMG! I went to the midnight release being a true fan, but still was unsure... OMG people! everything about this game is excellent, the campaign is fun and refreshing, and the online multiplayer is Friggin' fantastic!!!! I wasn't sure with the class' and spartan points and so on, but HOLY CRAP! It is fun, fun, fun. My love of Halo has been re-kindled. I cant wait to get home from work and play it! long live the master chief! Thankyou 343. Thankyou.
