I disagree, the game score suffered because of boring enemy types and weapons in the game. Literally the most commin enemy in the game is a dog, and all the for-runner weapons are clones of covanent/human weapons. Halo 4 felt like a kids game with that villain. Back during Halo 1-3 Master Cheift was only a solder, the last of the elites, leading a desparate battle against the flood/covanent. Halo 4 feels like some lame villain, who was never even mentioned in Halo 1-3, has become some odd super threat. Covanent classes were always in disarray, an Elite is a playable character in Halo 2 |
. Cortana became very emotional in Halo 4, they made her almost human, which was just really annoying.The Didact was mentioned in Halo 3, and in novels that predated Halo 4. You'd know this if you actually invested in the story. The Foreunner weapons were similar to Covenant/Human weapons but still offered strategic differences all the same. It is also because the Covenant have modelled their weapons/ships after Foreunner bluprints/relics, and the Humans were implanted with a "geas" from the Librarian 100 000 years ago to subtely progress the way they have been technologically speaking. So it goes beyond coincidental similarities, the lore explains why. You'd also know this too. I did agree that the enemy types weren't more varied. but then again so was the origional Halo, and that game turned out all right :)
The MP had left out modes present in Reach. That is why the score suffered....it is pretty universal that the MP brought it down.
I can't speak for you thinking the Didact was like a kids game villian. That is just perspective that depends on your personal level of outlook and bias. He came across as bitter and had the righteous purpose that the novels set him up as. During Halo 1-3 Master Chief was NOT the last spartan. There were others in the lore at the same time....even during Halo 4 there are still a few Spartan IIs still alive.
Do you always expect the humans to be fighting a losing battle? Because the point of the lore is for Humans to ascend and take "the mantle", and essentially be the caretakers of all living life in the galaxy liek the Forerunners were before them. They can't do this if they are always near-extinction. The story must move forward. Humans have some breathing room, but still have a ways to go......that is where the Didact steps in. He was the Foreunner military commander that doesn't think humans deserve the mantle. He has a personal vendetta against them, he has more then sufficient motivation and power to be the new villian, to prevent humanity from attaining the mantle and try to make them extinct too. You'd know this if you kept up with the lore.
SInce the Covenant broke up, each race essentially fends for themselves and there is no locked alliances between any race anymore. This is not the same as how they were Halo 1-3. Your dismissal of Cortana seals it that you are just another fickle Halo fan. It even explains that her rampancy is what makes her more emotional/human rather then a AI in function. It's her unrestrained emotion that teaches Master Cheif his own humanity, rather then just being a pure soldier following orders without question.
Im sorry, im done here, but just wanted to say your opinion is wrong in that it is ill informed :P
