Halo 4 gets a 20/100 on Meta, proves eview system is broken.

Maybe the site is a troll but the problem isn't that they're giving a low score, it's that Metacritic converts their five-star system to a 100-point scale linearly. I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way in practice because on the 100-point scale the low end is rarely used even when it's needed. I rarely see anything below 40, and even 40 is reserved for the most horrific games. That would be two stars if we used linear conversion. Point is, if on the 100-point scale the actual scale is pretty much 40-100, it makes no sense to convert one star to 20.
