Such a player exists??? haha
I like the Storm Rifle. I don't use it as a primary, it's my secondary on my LR class, but it does surprisingly good.
There's no need to be bewildered, it's just an opinion. Maybe I was more used to Reach's maps and maybe I'll end up enjoying these better with time, but I do think Halo 4 lacks smaller and smarter maps, like Heaven. I liked Boardwalk, Countdown, Reflection, Zealot, and Sword Base which was the best one.
I wish all the Forge maps had been included in Halo 4. They were the most fun.
You see, I'm bewildered because Reach's (initial) maps were strongly criticized by a majority of the Halo population, myself included.
What do you mean by "smarter" maps?
I liked the maps you listed that I didn't bold, but for the others:
Reflection: I don't know how to voice this exactly, but it just didn't work. I think the Jetpack was crucial in ruining the flow of the map. I'd say, generally speaking, remaking maps did not work for Reach.
Zealot: I will never forget or forgive the no-gravity zone debacle this map shipped with. And then Bungie made the top area a soft-killzone, neutering a play space of their map, because they lacked the insight to see the possible exploit? Aside from that, the lower levels, I found, only made for mediocre-to-competent gunplay, nothing memorable.
Sword Base: There is an irony somewhere here, as I think Sword Base has taken the most flak (second only to The Cage) from the player population, yet it is your favorite map. There should never be a map where the only effective traversal method is by jetpack.
