See, I think the same thing, but for Halo 5 not 4.
Personally thought 4 had the right mix, and preferred being able to spawn with my favourite loadout in multiplayer. They kept the staggering environmental design and took the series in a new direction.
In 5, they scrapped all of that and barely even let you play as the Master Chief. I didnt care about any of the other characters in the game and the environments were so boring. The revival feature also made the game way too easy, except for 1 major boss battle which was more a pain due to poor mechanics than a challenge. Then the multiplayer emchanic changes completely killed online, so its more run and gun than the steady build up firefights in more classic games. Unless 6 brings back the glory days then Halo is no longer the reason I keep getting an Xbox.
