Halo 4 was underwhelming

The game had a lot of potential and it failed to capitalize it.
The story was ok (although spartan was ops was hot garbage)but i feel it was let down because of very simple things that 343 just ignored
my biggest problem with 4 was the design the whole game is just a corridor with few open areas, I get that the game was downgraded to run on 360 but so was bioshock infinite, and that game was fantastic. I was told the game was supposed to be the best looking game of that gen but bioshock and last of us beat it pretty easily if you ask me. Remove the bloom and the game was nothing special
The vehicle sections are forced and look as they were just included for the namesake of halo.
the first time when we see requiem then we hop into a hog we are forced to just move in a straight path with no environment or scenery in background just boring debris
the first tank sequence in the mission infinity is again in a cave with straight path. the second tank sequence on reclaimer is a sad attempt to copy the halo 3 ark feeling with sgt stacker in the background muterring a few lines while the boring soundtrack plays in the background then you grab target designator ( imagine using a target designator in 2552 when your ship already has an A.I) to blow up the gravity well
the objectives were silly and repetitive which made it frustrating at times.
go to left room insert cortana/destroy orb/press ugly button
go to right room insert cortana/destroy orb/press ugly button
go to the central area insert cortana/destroy orb/press ugly button then watch a cutscene ,the level ends.
the last mission was so horrendous it was like that classic quake map the longest yard, jump pads, floating platforms in space and again go left insert cortana go right insert cortana, go in the middle press f to finish the boss. Now , i heard that didact is alive and is on installation 03. now i haven't played 5 so i hope that 343 came up with something better in 5.

I like the gunplay.
That is about it.

yeah gunplay was on point
multiplayer is also fun

The multiplayer in Halo 4 felt more like Call of Duty than Halo. Halo 2 Anniversary's multiplayer is what Halo 4's multiplayer should've been.

Oh boy. The story in H5 was so poor that it required 343 to spiritually reboot the series.

Spoiler: they didn't, and it even makes halo 4's story worse in retrospect.

this game really grew into my heart over the years and it's story is very special to me.

i didnt dislike it, its a 7 out of 10 game from me(3 out of 10 if we are to count spartan ops)

its not what i expected from a AAA game.

umm what?
apart from perks how was it like cod?
if you mean sprint and loadouts then they were in battlefield before cod get your facts straight.
one more thing,the ttk and overall pace of halo 4 is very different from black ops 2 , although perks are stupid and so is the promethean vision

Yeah, sprint and loadouts coupled with perks and ordnance drops which are similar to scorestreaks in Call of Duty. It just feels more like a Call of Duty rather than a Halo game in my opinion.

The Janus key is not in halo 5.

Its "resolved" in a comic. The absolute record effectively goes "nah, i don't want to be in this story" and just goes poof, along with the janus key.

Funny you mention that, because that was the point. Halo 4 was designed to bring in the Call of Duty crowd. That's why it's my least favorite Halo (never played 5, but it looked like more of the same). And don't even get me started about the weak custom game options and Forge in Halo 4. Halo really went BACKWARD with it.

Yeah, Halo 4 was the game that killed the franchise. Halo Reach started the decline and Halo 5 was the nail in the coffin. Hopefully Halo Infinite will revive the series but I doubt it because it looks just like Halo 5 just without the spartan abilities and a grappling hook copied from Doom Eternal. I wish 343i would go back to the original gameplay but unfortunately it probably will never happen. :/
