Didnt even notice that. I NEVER look at user score. I mean I understand critics cause contreversy and what-not but seriously. The thought of me being able to give a game 0 or 10 .. xD. The scores just feel like they are bound to be hyperbolic.

I don't like user scores because more than 50% os the guys didn't played the game.

That's the reason I just participe in the score threads in vgchatza for games that I played.

Wow.

Ive never seen such a quality game trolled so hard. Iv3 been playing the game and its the best Halo by miles.

S9m3times the gaming industry is just dissapointing



That make me fell relieved and willing to play Halo 4.

"Honestly, Halo 4 so far doesn’t feel like the franchise reinvention everyone thought it would be. In fact, this kind of feels like a step backwards compared to the huge changes made in ODST and Reach. But don’t get me wrong; that’s not really a complaint. Things feel familiar here…but when you have something as well crafted as the Halo games, it’s really hard to screw it up."

I didn't like the changes made in ODST and Reach... if Halo 4 go back to the classic Halo 3 then I will definitely like this game.



This game is VASTLY superior to ODST and Reach

Reach online is a 6/10 at best, ODST was pretty good but firefight was laggy so 7/10 at best.

Halo 2 and 3 were 10/10 the best online i´ve ever played in my life and i played ALOT of online games from Pc to Consoles.

I Hope Halo 4 is as good as Halo 2 online and as competitive, if it is then it will be the best Halo ever, with Forge and Theater this game will be godlike !

X360 is the only console i can see with great exclusive online games that can compete with Pc but even with Halo and Gears i still think Pc online is unmatched although i prefer Halo over anything on Pc but games like StarCraft 2 or Lol are insanely fun and competitive.

Call of Duty Black Ops 2 could have a spot aswell the game looks awesome and with an amazing online component.



The game is bloody fantastic from the two hours I played at my friends. We play 6 or so matchmaking games and the first chapter and part of chapter 2. My god, the cut scene at the beginning is jaw dropping. By far the best cgi I have ever seen in a game, it could have easily been mistaken for real life at some moments. Gameplay is amazing of course and the graphics are arguably the best on the 360. Music score and sound effects are great. The only think that is killing me right now is that I have to wait till tomorrow to get my copy in the mail :(



Been playing Halo 4 for several hours now and the only word I can use to describe it is fantastic. As a Halo fan I can say it's everything I hoped it would be.

I do have some advice. If you've been playing Halo for as long as I have, make sure to play it on Heroic or higher. I just finished playing though all the Halo games on Heroic and I'm so practiced up that anything less would be a walk in the park. Heroic gives enough challenge to keep it fun without the frustration that comes with Legendary.

You know what level of difficult you can handle. Don't set it too easy for yourself. Save Normal for going back to get all the terminals and other achievements/cookies. Your first play-through should be challenging and force you to use other tactics than "run out in the open and circle strafe everything in sight".

Not according to Metacritic....its down to an 87/100. Reach is at a 91/100 while Halo 3 sits at a 94.

This being the lowest scoring mainline Halo game, could this affect its sales? Week 1 probablyl won't be affected, legs will IMO. Black Ops 2 is set to do some damage as well.

Right because Metacritic scores have traditionaly affected COD sales
