If that was only me

Halo 3 has a better MP than Halo 4.

It has nothing but improvements over its already tried and proven (to be fun and addicting) multiplayer engine; with the addition of ordinances, and the new abilities, it's a NEW Halo, it's different, yes. But it's still an overall better and improved game than Reach, and a fantastic successor to Halo 3. |
Well what I see the Halo 3 / Halo 2 have a better MP... so if the successor don't have a better MP then the MP of Halo 4 is a stepback.
I think GoW: A is a stepback in SP too but a move foward in MP (of couser it is the first with MP lol).

Halo 3 has great multiplayer, no doubt. I go back and play it every now and then. But its just your opinion that its better.

That's an absurd statment considering that CoD is milked far more than Halo and yet has so many more people playing the multiplayer (plus Halo 4 has been selling very well and will outsell Reach at least). Halo 4 MP may be a flop but it's definitely not because of "milking".
It really boils down to a few things.
1. No skill ranked playlists: This was by far the most requested thing with Halo 4 but 343 decided to sit with their thumbs up their arses and not include it. And their pathetic half-assed attempt of implementing it this month is useless since you can't even see your rank unless you go to Halo Waypoint. A skill based ranking system is what made Halo 3 and is why people kept coming back in droves years after it's release.
2. Halo 4 glitches: Halo 4 is probably the worst Halo when it comes to glitches, people cheating and general bad network design choices. 343 really screwed things up with their terrible lag compensation system and couple that with rampant cheating and you have a lot of people who get turned off by that and won't play because of it.
3. CoD is "it": Call of Duty is obviously far more popular so when people play MP games together their choice will almost always be Cod because that's what their friends will be playing.
People are obviously willing to try Halo MP games still because most people have a soft spot in their heart for it (you can see this because both Halo 4 and Reach had fantastic starts for MP population) but both the last Halo games have had so many issues that people are really getting turned off by it. If they don't get Halo 5 right, the Halo franchise may be in for some rough times (in comparison to how well it usually sells)
Personally despite all of these negatives I still love Halo 4 MP. I have the most fun with it out of any MP game I've ever played. But I can see why so many hate it.
Fun fact: Halo 3 had a higher daily peak poplulation 3 years after it's release (even though MW2 was out) than Halo 4 has right now, less than a 5 months after it's release. In fact even a couple months after Halo: Reach was released, Halo 3 still had about the same amount of people online as Halo 4 has right now.
It's quite sad to see my favorite MP game fall so far.

In official forums mostly guys agree with me.

It is not just my opinion... it is of the most Halo fans.

GoW:A being step back in gameplay is subjective, its arguably the most the fun I had playing a GoW campaign.
Story being a step back is pretty much a fact though. That clearly wasn't the focus

Yeah, all the active Halo players are on that forum...
All we really know is which game has more activity.
