I started a Legendary run for Halo 4 in the hopes that something would click and I'd start enjoying it, but about a third of the way through I got fed up and decided to finish it with the distinct purpose of figuring out why I find it so boring. :/ I'm almost done with "Midnight," and I've pretty much nailed down why. Looking forward to writing it all up.
Well you guys can go on and play Halo 3 if you want. I don't want to download the other mythic maps, and don't want to deal with the netcode.
Gunplay is better in Halo 4.
Halo 3 is just a cleaner product though.
We keep saying this and we'll say it again, Halo 4 can be ridiculously good... If you wipe the random shit off.
PS This specialization grind suuuucks
I've enjoyed "Forerunner" and "Composer", not so much the other missions, which I guess puts it at Halo 2 levels for me.

WAIT, WHEN HOW WHERE WHAT!!!
I didn't hear anything about that. google doesn't seem to want to tell me anything about that.
I went back to 3 weeks ago. Needs a playlist trim, though. Badly.

Two disappointments:
-No nudes of our giffy lady
-Sponsored challenge...really?
In better news about to board a plane to Hawaii cause Seattle is cold, dark, and depressing. See you nerds on the other side of Christmas.

Can someone explain this whole truck contest, how do I win?
A 1 in ~200,000 contest for a truck is something I'd want to enter. Noone really plays H4 anymore right?

Halo 2 is way better to me: "Delta Halo," "Regret," "The Great Journey," "Metropolis," "Uprising," "Gravemind," and "Outskirts."
Most in game points wins. So basically the person who plays the most or the group of 5 friends who share an account and log in games around the clock. The post tournament interview is going to be so awkward. "So, wow you played for 2 weeks straight through without a single hour of rest. Tell us how you did it!" "LOL me and my friends shared my account around so that someone was playing at all times"
But Mia Malkova does!

They said there were a bunch of prizes for the tourney. You'd play, then get put into a bracket based on how you do, then win prizes in that bracket.
Ah so you finally googled her.
Cuties 4 by Elegant Angel should be coming out soon, so I'll have footage of action.

The final fight on Midnight showcases how bad the combat with Prometheans can be. There was one instance where I had at least 5 PromGrenades fired off at me at once. Another instance had me anticipate a PromKnight teleport, only to have it absorb three pointblank Scattershot bursts and kill me, reverting me back to one of the many wretched checkpoints in this game. There are parts of the game that I like, but there are far too many that I don't. The game feels far too linear for my tastes, which may be part of the problem.
Composer might be my favorite mission.

One thing I found rather abit odd is that in previous Halos easter eggs and terminals were hidden more carefully to appear less obvious in being found; making replayability high, but when I play Halo 4, terminals aren't that hard to look for, audio logs are abit easy to find, and that's it. No extra easter eggs.

There are easter eggs.
The terminals are easy to find because they want to expose more people to that content, the harder it is to find, the less people see it.
Play a lot during the qualifier week.
Get placed into a "division" that puts you against other time grinding fiends.
These divisions regulate what prizes you can win.
Play a shit ton more during the tourney week/time limit.
Win one of 2,800 prizes.
Damn it. I went for 10 yrs old, this is better.
And then the put the easy to find content locked into Waypoint and defeated themselves.
Still tired from playing in the Battlefield 3 Virgin Tourney.

Find the biggest weapon to kill the most people, and you'll win daddy a new truck. Now go play your tournament while your mother and I have sex.

Because they weren't ready on time.
Look I agree, I've said they shouldn't have let things be so last minute.

The Promethean grenades, because they cut off routes for the player, are one of the many small factors about the Prometheans that add up to make fighting them more about whittling down their health than engaging them.
I think "Composer" has some interesting combat scenarios, but it's dragged down by combat problems of the game which prevent me from really enjoying it. Also it tops off with that one-way Mantis fight at the end, which I found dull.
The sandbox is balanced, don't want to get hit by boltshot users? Jetpack.
Don't want to get camped upon? Promethean Vision.
Like camping? Camo.
List goes on, be the balance.

Every time you shoot a charged boltshot it should have a 50% chance to kill you and give the enemy the kill.
I find them good for blocking off areas (and subsequently killing dumb people who run through them) but that's it. basically the fire grenades. I'm a plasma nade fanatic, so bring back the spike grenades.

I actually hate Composer for some reason. I think it has to do with the idea of the campaign exploring Requiem, so what do they do? Put us on an enclosed ship so that we can fight more Covenant and listen to Faithless a little more even though, while alright and Halo Wars-sounding, doesn't lend itself well at all to the scenes it's put in. Fighting Hunters with a Sticky Detonator and Thruster WAS an amazing moment, but I feel like it was wasted on that level. Out of all the "interior human ship" levels in the campaigns I just feel like it was the weakest, I don't know what it is about it. The ending cutscene was pretty great though, with the whole hoaky Composer thing and Tillson getting derezzed "This cup belongs to the king of kings"-style.

Its probably my favorite level in the game. I just prefer tackling the covenant instead of Prometheans I guess, and that mission keeps the pace up. Reminds me of CE in a lot of ways.

Falling like flies.
Or in his case, leaving like flies.
Wait, that doesn't make any sense.
Hope he comes back.
No! They're actually decent. Use them in very close range. Like, CQC range.
Flying like leaves?
