    phatmac's Halo 4 (Xbox 360) review

    343's take on Halo works for the most part.

    Pros:

    • Solid campaign that is far more emotional then previous Halo games.
    • Great sound design and a decent soundtrack.
    • New guns that add in more variety in combat.
    • It's a visual treat.
    • Great sound design that makes guns sound viscous.
    • Solid multiplayer with great maps.
    • Spartan Ops seems like a cool idea that can be cool.

    Cons:

    • A confusing story at times that requires you to research it instead of the game making you understand what is going on.
    • It isn't a radically different take on Halo.
    • You fight way too many Covenant,
    • It is disappointing story wise as Halo 3's ending left it in a way that could make a different Halo story.
    • The soundtrack isn't as memorable as previous Halo soundtracks.

      Halo is back with a bang, but forgot some features 0

      Before I start, I want to lay out what I love about past halo games, I believe the games offers many options and features and people value certain aspects much more so than others. Hopefully knowing where I come from will allow perspective on my review.The campaign of combat evolved was where i originally fell in love with the series. The tight combat, the various ways you could approach encounters and the way seemingly huge battles with seamless transition to vehicle combat, could feel as focus...
