Tried to post about Halo 4 a few days ago but the forum crashed so I just went to bed instead.
I think Halo is a pretty cool guy-
the recon-esque control scheme is pretty decent.
I've still only run through a few campaign missions and some other side stuff but so far it's a lot of fun. I'm only on Normal setting which started out cruisey but is starting to kick my ass a little - mostly from me not being careful and wandering around looking at the pretty scenery. The detail is incredible!
I want to get the lay of the land before I attempt a legendary run through.
Played some spartan ops alone and with others and it's pretty decent - I can see it getting boring down the line unless they shake things up a little but there are a lot of toys to play with.
the cutscenes for spartan ops are more in depth than I was expecting too - i just thought it'd be mission briefings but it seems more like segments of a movie from what I've seen so far.
found a few terminal videos too - and those are pretty interesting, definitely want to see the rest of those..
The only thing that's been really distracting is the sound effects - a lot of familiar sounds have been changed, but on the whole everything sounds beefy and satisfying. The warthog used to hum to live when you got in, now it growls..
