He is also the same guy that gave Resident Evil 6 a 9.5/10

This is coming from the person who keeps giving Call Of Duty high scores..

"These low points are openly exacerbated by the series’ staunch refusal to get with the times when it comes to game mechanics and level design, ignoring obvious enhancements like big-ticket sequences and proper iron-sights mechanics in favor of their age-old addiction to slow, methodical combat in unnecessarily large environments. And while I get that 343i was deathly afraid to come in and mess with the elements most consider Halo canon, it’s a lot to ask of us who play other games in the genre to continue to stomach a core most left behind half a decade ago. Mind you, some folks might find the videogame equivalent of being forced to eat your vegetables a comforting alternative to Microsoft putting a dash of modern in their combat, but when stacked up to Dishonored, Far Cry 3, and Black Ops II, Halo 4’s campaign feels as empty and uninspired as its strong, silent protagonist."

What a COD tool bag. I can't take any reviewer seriously when they use lack of iron sights as a low point. It seems that everything that makes Halo unique and great is what this guy doesn't like. This guy (and others) just wants Halo to be like every run of the mill shooter and it bugs the fuck out of me.

That's my small rant. It has nothing to do with the score, but why he gave it the score that annoys me.  





Ok its official that guy is a moron.

Listen I have no problem with a reviewer not liking a game. But he seriously just admitted he reviewed Halo low because it didnt play like COD. That is borderline pathetic and unprofessional.

Lol this is probably one of the saddest attempts at reviewing a game I have ever seen.

 

Anyways OT: Looks like Halo 4 is getting about the score I thought it would (91 at best). Whilst my Halo fanboy heart is saddened that it isn't above a 95 I know the game is going to be fantastic and I seriously can't wait to play it on Tuesday! I think the MP really could be great in this game, Seems like it's taking the best of COD and Halo to make a truly fantastic MP experience (although I believe I made the same comment with Halo: Reach and I was slightly wrong about that :P ).

Either way though I am quite optimistic!

I see Blistered Thumbs gave it a 5/10. I understand reviewers are entitled to their opinions, but to me, a 5/10 is mediocre / so-so. I can't imagine the game is such given the nearly 100% universal praise.

Well,this site won't exist in metacritic



Just checked the metacritic, seems some site gave halo 4 a 7.0 :|

Look up,that's what they disscussing now
EGM,eh



Does it matter, guys? The game is getting positive reviews, it's clearly an amazing title, and no matter where the score goes, we will enjoy the game just as much.

Don't focus too much on metacritic. It's like getting into an argument over the internet on who's penis is larger. The outcome will never affect your sex life and will be of zero consequence.

For many of us (myself included), there's a huge difference between "Universal Acclaim" and "Generally Favorable Reviews".
