In reply to Andrew Allen. it is true tht it has some aspects, like making your own loadouts just for u, and spartan ops and all tht, but i find it better than tht shitty cod. cod has horrible respawns, its unrealistic, and cod sucks compared to halo. and u said what IS halo 4? its the story of the forerunners. if you play it, you would know what it is.

Play it. I think you have made excellent points. When I saw the new armor my thought was, ” oh no copy cat helmets?! ” but after playing the game in sold. This is the best way I can put it. Last year Motortrend held their car of the year caomparison. It inculded the lamborghini aventador with 600+ hp and a 200 hp subaru named the brz. There was also 7 other cars. The lambo placed last because its whole experience between car and driver was literally the worst. The brz placed fourth, over 2 cars that cost over 100k. The brz only cost around 20k. The brz simple related to the drivers better. In response and feel and confidence and all those intangibles. Halo 4 does the same. On paper it looks very week but once your in the driver’s seet its a blast!! I’m with ign, this should could and better be the game of the year.

In reply to Andrew Allen. Except Master chief isn't the last Spartan :/. If you read the books, you would know that a spartan named Kelly was kidnapped from Reach by Dr. Halsey and taken to a mysterious Forerunner planet called Onyx Also Master chief is so strong and powerful because he has the smartest artificial intelligence the UNSC has ever created inside of him.Without Cortana, Master chief probably wouldn't have gotten very far.

In reply to Andrew Allen. While different story line does not make for different game play, why does this game in itself has to redefine everything Halo is? If Xbox Live had existed in the time of Halo: Combat Evolved, would Halo 2 been as good? or as notable? Food for thought.

In reply to Jonathan Wallace. yeah there were only 75 spartan 2's and yes half that number died in augmentation but 33 spartans kicked ass and took names. the spartan 3's got there asses kicked because they wernt armored proberly and the spartan 2's didnt have enough candidates or funding to make more . Reach is a great game and exept for in a few little parts its canon is fine

I Don’t thinke you have paid much attantion… for starters, Spartan ops is a story, where every week, you get deeper and deeper into Halo 4 story… if you call halo 4 a copying of Call of Duty, well sir, then you have failed on life….

At least the storyline will be great, even if MP sucks, Halo is all about the Campaign, so buy Halo 4 for the campaign!

For those who asked why the fuck does spartans died in Reach while Master Chief powned for 3 games without any serious injury => The answer is in the fiction. He was chosen by Doctor Halsey (The scientist in Reach that gives you Cortana) for only one thing : He’s lucky. It’s almost the only thing he has more then other spartans. That and the fact that he’s a good leader. His Luck stat is like over 9000.

In reply to Andrew Allen.

Note: I assume you have not read the fiction.

Spartans II’s were not high in numbers, out of the 300 original candidates, only 33ish made it to become full fledged spartans, most of those dying on reach. Also technically in the books there are 3 spartan 2’s that are still alive….wont say more b/c possible spoilers, but Glasslands is pretty much the set up of Halo 4. Spartan 3’s which are pretty much the store band spartans die all the time, they are made and sent on suicide missions that real spartans are to valuable to go on, (all of noble team except Jorge where 3’s). Personally, Reach was the worst game in the entire series story wise. SO much canon that was already established and carried throughout the books was destroyed during the reach campaign, i don’t know how they can pull back together without ejecting something.
