I don't revisit Halo 4 often mostly because I think it fails to capture what made the Bungie games so great. The story is all over the place, feeling more like an action movie rather than a Halo game. The new threat the Prometheans are uninteresting and bullet sponges on higher difficulties. The music and art style are so far off from what you'd expect, it's just reminiscent of halo when it should be quintessentially halo. I do have positives to say, the weapon sandbox while it does have too many precision weapons, it does have a lot of fun new weapons such as the SAW or sticky detonator. The multiplayer is fun, I played it a bunch back when the game was new, but it feels too much like Call of Duty, with weapon loadouts, kill streaks and just an overall missed step when it comes to Halo. Overall, Halo 4 is not bad, but it really isn't great either. Some people really enjoy it though, and I'm glad for that, 343 tried something different and that's commendable.
