Disappointing
1 of 6 found this helpful I have been a big Halo fan since Halo: Combat Evolved and have loved Halo 1, 2, 3, and ODST. But I hate Reach. It is the worst in the series by far. With every other halo, there was something new and amazing about it, but not only has Reach not introduced anything good at all, it has taken away the things that were fun about Halo in the first place. I always enjoyed the competitive nature of halo with the ranking system. But with Reach, the ranking system is pointless. It is not based on skill, but rather how much you play. So a terrible player can be a higher rank than the best player in the world, simply because he spends more time playing. This completely destroys the point of a ranking system. I don't want to spend every spare minute playing in order to have an impressive rank, I want my rank to reflect my skills.
New to Reach is the absolute worst thing to happen to halo...loadouts. Instead of picking up armor abilities on the map and having the challenge of controlling these powerups, they are automatically given to everyone and the only way to change them is to die. Reach has completely destroyed the competitive nature of halo that made it fun so that they could sell more copies by appealing to the new players who do not have the skill to compete with the veteran players. They sold out and abandoned the fans who made Halo successful in the first place.
The assassinations I thought were cool at first but soon realized that they are game breaking as well. They are animations that leave you defenseless and vulnerable for others to steal your kill or kill you and disable you to fight while assassinating.
The campaign is pretty good and you can pick up armor abilities, which is how it should have been in multiplayer. However, the campaign is pretty easy and legendary difficulty is reduced greatly from previous halos.
The multiplayer maps are horrible. They are taken directly out of the campaign which is something that Halo has never done before. It is complete laziness by Bungie. Then they want you to buy new maps that should have been included in the original game. The main core left to form 343i and Reach was just a way for Bungie to make as much money as they could off of their final halo and I feel ripped off that I bought it and contributed to their profits from this game.

Sadly, Halo is dead.
Halo 4 is awful in every imaginable way. Halo has hit rock bottom. It can't possibly get any lower than this.
