    Its "okay", but the Prometheans are ridiculous bullet-sponges. It is not fun to fight against them. As a shooter its mediocre and the story is not really interesting.

    Halo 4
    Annoying but beautiful
    Halo 4 is a 6 hour long first person shooter and is the first standalone game from 343 studios. And sadly after the great direction halo 3 was taking for the series, halo 4 approves the series and takes some major steps back at the same time.. Visually halo 4 is the most modern looking and beautiful halo game ive played so far.. I love the feeling of level    Halo 4

    Halo 4 is a 6 hour long first person shooter and is the first standalone game from 343 studios.
    And sadly after the great direction halo 3 was taking for the series, halo 4 approves the series and takes some major steps back at the same time..
    Visually halo 4 is the most modern looking and beautiful halo game ive played so far.. I love the feeling of level variety here, not something you really get in halo games.. all the way up until reach every level kind of looked and felt the same, with no standouts.. here it felts like an actual world was crafted rather than generic space stations over nd over and over.. at least for the most part.. because the copy paste that the hole series suffers from is here as well… made worse by the fact that halo 4 is too easy to get lost in.. youll be in a new area and have no idea, thinking you went around in circles because again so many assets and layouts are just copy and pasted to new areas… and the progression indactors are just awful hee.. I get the point is to make the game not feel linear, but instead I just feel like a chicken running around with my head cut off, trying to trigger a door opening to move on…
    Halo 4 does attempt to add something new to the series with these robot like enemies and new weapons, but theyre just annoyingly frustrating..
    Ive personallyappreciated tht in every halo game up until this point you could just run through, especially tring to get through the entire series before infinite comes out.. but here in halo 4 there are tons of moments youre forced to clear the room, and the game really doesn’t do much to indicate this is necessary.. which is something that should’ve been done considering, once again.. halo games don’t typically make you clear a room to be able to move on.. . which brings me to the annoying enemies.. these robot enemies ar infurating to deal with.. halo 4 has an awful checkpoint system and in between these awful checkpoints are these enemies that spit bullets at you, or are large power houses followed by drones that not only shield enemies, but they heal them, they can also shoot, and they fold when you shoot at them.. and when you finally do hit them they seem to just absorb all of your bullets.. making th final stretch of this game more infuriating than all of the worst parts of the halo series combined..
    Halo 4 is a good game, it’s a challenging game.. it strays away from halo too much in the end.. which could be a good thing, but isn’t a good thing here…
    Im hoping for more positive change with halo 5, and less frustration.
    I give Halo 4

    All the problems from Halo 2 and 3 but now with the best story , I am so sad they took away the Health bar It made it so you could be more flexible because you knew exactly how much health your head, But now we're back to Halo 2 and 3 where you have to hope that you still have some invisible health left .

    , I think the story is the best in the serious except for reach , the way that Cortana and chief talk to each other is wonderful And the way you can feel their emotions from them and the way the story end is wonderful if this was the end of the series I would have been heavy happy end.

    Halo 4 is my least fave OG style Halo game. I do appreciate the Halo 4 (FUD) film to game tie in way more. The gameplay of Halo 4 is fun, but the actual story is bad. 343 just don't know how to write good Halo like Bungie. Three generations of my family have played Halo together in co-op and now only play Halo 1-4 & Reach now. Pass on Halo 5 and Infinite plus that dumb silver timeline show.

    Halo 4 ofrece el regreso de Master Chief y el avance de la historia del mundo de Halo tras los eventos del 3, pero lo hace entre claroscuros. La historia no está mal, pero tiene varias incoherencias, cosas que no explican y alguna contradicción con lo visto en juegos anteriores. A nivel de jugabilidad, mantiene las innovaciones bienvenidas de Reach, modificando cosillas menores.

A nivel de jugabilidad, mantiene las innovaciones bienvenidas de Reach, modificando cosillas menores. Nuevos enemigos bastante interesantes por sus nuevas mecánicas, un nuevo vehículo que está bien (un mecha) y nuevas armas que en realidad solo son skins nuevas para armas ya existentes. El resultado es un juego de acción sólido, que tiene un diseño de niveles que está bien y una acción relativamente variada.

    A nivel gráfico es innegable que el juego está muy bien, tanto en el diseño (dentro de lo que es la estética de Halo) como en ejecución del mismo. El sonido está bien también, con las voces habituales, la típica banda sonora de Halo que parece sacada de una película de guerra, y unos buenos efectos. Y al menos en mi caso, no ha tenido ningún bug.

    Todo ello hace de Halo 4 un juego de acción que está bien, pero que tampoco aporta nada realmente especial. Un 6,5.    … Expand

    there aren’t enough ui tips. nothing key presses should be met with ui prompts for possible actions.

    Ремастер никак не изменил графику, так что приступаю сразу к самой игре. Серию превратили в самый настоящий конвейер. Именно в данной игре нововведения есть. Локации стали не такими коридорными, появился нормальный сюжет. Геймплей тупо пиу-пиу, как и все предыдущие части. Разрабы в этом плане ничего менять вообще не хотят (в infinite они, конечно, всё переделали, но сейчас не о ней).Ремастер никак не изменил графику, так что приступаю сразу к самой игре.

    This is the last Halo I played as Halo 5 is not available for PC (but maybe I'm wrong). It wasn't the best one but still a good game. I'm definitely excited to play Halo Infinite though.

    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.

    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.

    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.
