    If this is your first time playing Halo 4, prepare for a treat. Gameplay remains identical to previous installments, but with some additions enhancing the experience. The story is also a big highlight. With this game, it's hard not to consider Master Chief and Cortana as gaming's greatest duo. Halo 4 caps off The Master Chief Collection on PC nearly perfectly.

    343 Industries has managed to bring Halo: The Master Chief Collection to a stellar close with the release of Halo 4. Despite the campaign's storyline being a bit of a mess, the developer still managed to deliver an outstanding singleplayer experience that's worth a replay. Mix in esports-level multiplayer, and you have a recipe for an outstanding last stand.

    Halo 4 comes to PC with a good remaster, even if there are flaws here and there, while preserving its excellent gameplay.

    Halo 4 might be the black sheep of the family, but it's still a great game and an excellent way to send off The Master Chief Collection.

    A decent enough game with only a few questionable design choices and a weird ending.

    New HUD, cluttered, designed so it looks like you're looking through a helmet (I'm not a fan). Finally sprint. No dual wield. Reworked gunsNew HUD, cluttered, designed so it looks like you're looking through a helmet (I'm not a fan). Finally sprint. No dual wield. Reworked guns and enemies. Guns are more accurate initially, and sound good. Zoom shooting is back. No flashlight or nightvision. Bloom lighting is still pretty bad and strong. Powerups are much better designed so you actually get to use most of them. New aliens, and alien guns. New vehicles.

    Swap weapon button for switching to Banshee bomb, and switching other aircraft weapons.

    Besides the terrible bloom lighting and HUD clutter, there are a variety of things that seem poorly designed. The railgun, and walker-robot's (Mantis) missiles for example. The Reflow mod fixes many of them. Unfortunately, it seems using mods disables achievements, but most of the Halo achievements are bad anyway IMO.

    Halo 1 and 2 were much more flawless. Halo 4 brings a lot of new and good things, but also many flaws. The Reflow mod fixes most of the issues, so with the mod I'd give this game an 8.5/10.    … Full Review »
