>>716478246 (OP)It was subpar even when I was very excited for halo and coming off of halo 3, anon.
when halo 4 released the gameplay didn't feel special or improved... just slightly off.
Basically the entire promethian side of things seemed weird, and parts of the covenant weaponry felt... repetitive. Like some guns had no place at all and I didn't get why.
The only good part of the story was the relationship between cortana and the master chief.
The multiplayer was another step down from halo 3, especially with forge.
Though take that "step down from 3" with a grain of salt because there are reasons for people to put reach as the peak of multiplayer.
Either way, it WAS a step down from what once was.
