The Halo series has been amazing and cutting edge, but it's really a shame to see so many games of all sorts from FPS to Racing (Halo, COD, Dirt, etc.) move away from LOCAL multiplayer capability. It used to be so awesome to get a bunch of friends together and play the newest game, have a four way battle, do some co-op levels, etc. While I have strong internet, it's not the same to only play with people online who are sitting in some other city rather than right next to you (and must own a system and the game as well, which is surely why they're doing it... plus development costs). Anyway, good game, but really hope some of the high end games go back to providing a lot of multi-player options because online is great, but that's at least half the fun of the game.

I'd been feeling nostalgic and decided to go on a Halo marathon. I finished 1-3 and felt it was finally time to see if 4 was as bad as all the hype claimed. It is a bit of a departure from their formula, I find. There's a good deal more "Press X to X" to be had, which feels more like CoD than Halo. The story is more confused- the main campaign never explains why you're fighting elites again. The end is anti-climactic, you wind up fighting the same three monster types for the last two levels, with no real "final encounter." There's a strange amount of weapon overlap, with the BR, scoped Magnum, Covenant Carbine, and two new weapons filling the same niche, the DMR and Light Rifle. My biggest complaint is the Spartan Ops: without an Xbox Live subscription, I couldn't even play the extra solo missions, which left the story feeling very empty. There is a lot of good to be found, however. The armor powers are a better system than the one-use equipment from 3. The graphics are great, although with perhaps a bit too much blinding HDR. The gameplay is fun, and isn't that the ultimate goal? It's challenging without being needlessly difficult. It definitely wasn't as good as the first three, but it was worth a few bucks to pick up used.Read full review

Halo 4 is the next great game in the Halo story line, with a twist. The campaign gameplay and story line is great. The length of the campaign, however, was rather short. The new addition to Halo 4 is spartan ops. While the missions are short, they are new ones each week. The maps for spartan ops are recycled throughout which gets boring after a while of playing them. You see the same things and each mission has objectives that you run back and forth to. The matchmaking is better than I expected, except for the lack of maps and lack of game types on matchmaking. They have more maps available for multiplayer but not matchmaking. 343 has been adding a new game type each week but they have also gotten rid of some. Still not all the maps are released into the play lists.
Goodness that was the best I have had ever been in the world of the best I can get in it and Evil the way the game works well with my iPad so it will not work out with the app to make a game of my original best app I love the app and the app works well and the app is excellent but I don’t know what to expect to get a new one to the game I just want it and I love the app it is great for me to get it and it is great and the game works well and the game is excellent but I can’t get a game for a game I love the app it and the best game works great and great for a good time I play the Xbox Xbox I play the app I have a good play with the app I have had a good play and play with friends with a good app for my play game is awesome but the best app for me and the app is awesome but the best I have is the app is awesome Read full review

I have played all of the Halo games so I was naturally excited to play Halo 4. My fiance and I were excited about it being produced by 343 so it was expected to be awesome. Don't get me wrong the game is super fun and beautiful. Its just the little things that kind of ruin it for some gamers. I listedeverything that I was disappointed in. The sounds and voices of enemies are gone - All the little grunty noises and funny things grunts use to say and really any noise that the enemy makes is just gone. Its a very strange feeling of silence all through the game missing those sounds. The forge is def no where near what it was. Tooka way so many feature and cool things. The theatre and recording is lame at best. You can only save clips and images from video taken in online multi player. Nome of your campaign is recorded, none of spartan ops Will continue review later when my computer cooperates. .Read full review
Took a little longer to arrive than I expected, but not worrisomely slow. The game itself is fun. Graphics are decent, with some very minor perspective glitches. Story line is alright, the Master Chief being solo most of the game. I like to run through the game in easy mode first, then normal, and progress that way, and it progresses well in difficulty. All in all it's a good game and I am satisfied with the purchase.

Absolutely perfect, although used the disc is in pristine condition. The game play no explanation needed, its Halo. Value, exceptional. When this title first came out it was expensive, now the price to revisit this classic is a fraction of the cost. Quality and value are always in style.

Hello, Halo 4 is the latest adventure from Bungie, of course this time we are back to playing master chief and although better graphics than in the previous games I have to wonder if Bungie has lost its way, this game seemed to be rushed, the new weapons you can use from the prometheans (The new bad guys) are slow and apart from the fact they are orange and they look different they are exactly the same as the human guns, it seems Bungie is beginning to lack in imagination, in all it is worth playing but I would not get too excited. The online game is still pretty much the same, although in Halo: Reach there were a lot more vehicles to choose from and play with and as I am sure you have guessed it a lot of the players seem to be kids and it is pretty annoying as they are incapable of actually playing on a team, which brings to mind the question of "why do they even bother playing in the first place". Although I am sure a lot of people will disagree with me I have to say I preferred reach, I do not enjoy the fact that I have to be online to play all the features of Halo 4, "Firefight" was always good to play and have a we bit of fun with. It is a bit of a moan for my first review but I promise they will get better, I would recommend this game but I would wait until the price comes down or at least get it second hand. I hope this helped. Keiron WestRead full review
Good graphics for an older gaming platform, can see the early progress of what is now realistic imaging. Story line is fairly well laid out, maybe a bit repetitive. Audio is great when listening through a home theater system. An enjoyable game overall.

I think that this game is great , my son loves it and can’t seem to quit playing it. He loves the plot behind the game and loves the different weaponry he has access to in the game. He said that it makes you think about different strategies to win against his enemies.
