The scores are looking good i don't know what some of you all are talking about.

The coveted 90+

I do understand some frustration though. 

Literally 95% of the reviews are saying its the best Halo game ever made even over the first 1 and yet its actually the lowest main Halo in Metacritic. Its a little frustrating and actually a great demonstration as to why review scores dont actually work. 

Maybe we should have all reviewers following Gamersyde. Just give us a review with a final verdict and no score. Then the journalism will ave to be better.

I really don't put too much stock in reviews, seriously. I mean it's fun to guess and whatnot but I know I'm getting the game regardless. That said, the bolded is my only gripe. Think about if you were casually talking to a friend about a movie or something and they said that it was best of the series and then you asked for a score (letter, number) and they said a score lower than all of the other entries in said series. You would instantly call them out with a great big WTF. It just seems a little weird to me, I dunno, maybe I'm missing something.
