I agree that 343 didn't measure up in the end. I think his review is correct, but unfortunately he writes it in a way that comes of as arrogant. From the multiplayer to the campaign, everything was sub-par compared to the earlier entries in the series. Heck even the iconic "Monk-Chants" in the main menu are awful compared to Halo 3.
I understand that 343 couldn't go all the way and make it their franchise with their own ideas and innovations, but what parts of it resemble the old Halo are disappointing.
The funny thing is that I remember people saying Halo 3 was a less skill oriented game compared to Halo 2. If that's the case, then Halo 4 makes Halo 3 look like CS:S.
It's a downer 343 is ruining that formula that Halo used to have, but in fairness, Bungie did start down this path with Reach.
Ace Combat(4,5,0), MegaMan Legends1&2, Star Fox 64, and Smash Bros.
My dad and me played a ton of AC4, we loved seeing who could get better times and scores, and it continued on with 5 and 0. I also loved my N64 and those are just the games I loved most on it.
