Okay so I was not too excited. I felt like Borderlands 2 is the better series and I have a lot of it to play. Still I have bought all the Halos and playing them with a friend can be great.

Well, I started the campaign and liked the darker feel. I was still bored and not too impressed.

I quickly did multiplayer and had a better time it is just plain Halo. I still feel the graphics are weak for a game this late in the gen and that it just feels like the last game only with new maps. The servers seemed slower than I have ever seen in a multiplayer game on the 360.

So basically I should be playing more borderlands 2 than Halo 4. But, I did only barely get started. It could turn out to be better as I have not done the Spartan Ops yet, that I usually really like.

o_0 are you sure you weren't playing Halo: Reach?

 

Weak graphics?

This one is the most surprising things I have heard regarding Halo 4 especially as I think it definitely holds the crown for any game on the 360 and as far as I can tell, 99% of the rest of people who have played Halo 4 think the same. Borderlands 2 has far worse graphics than Halo 4.

Boring campaign?

The campaign has such a great story IMO. I find seeing much more of the Master Chief and Cortanas human side really adds so much to the game. Also the environments and atmosphere make it an amazing experience.

The Multiplayer is plain Halo?

It has a huge CoD influence in it and it's the most fluid, balanced MP game I have ever played. It definitely retains it's great Halo feeling but adds so much more to the mix as well. Also Halo 3 had by far the worst server load times for games. The only reason why it's taking pretty long in Halo 4 is because of server issues.

 

I know it's your opinion and all but I just can't comprehend it >_<

It was my initial opinion after not playing it much election night due to being too focused on the election. My impressions can and do evolve.  I played the campaign more and find it to be the best campaign since the original and 2. The multiplayer is always fun. I love how you can run without it being a perk.

When I called it plain Halo I meant it fells exactly the same as the last one and still very similar to the two before that. To clarify, I tend to slowly not praise games as much as they remain the same and have more versions in the series. Some series change drastically, while most do not if formula is a winner. This still will not stop me from getting less enthused about it. I felt the exact same about call of duty. The servers probably will get faster, it was just my judgement of the first night.

Yeah I get that. I was mostly confused about the weak graphics comment though lol.
