what did the good people of this forum think of the Halo 4 story and campaign? did it hold up to the trilogy + reach?

For me, it was enjoyable, but not very Halo if you know what I mean? You could feel the change of hands of writers in the game... Personally I preferred the story in most of the other stories over Halo 4

I actually thought the story was way more developed in Halo 4 than the rest combined.
It really felt like the story took precedence over the gameplay overall. Sure there are some parts where it's just game-game-game-tiny bit of dialogue-game-game-game, but it's a shooter. You have to be willing to forgive some of those game-heavy parts because of it's genre.
I still stand by my previous judgement and hold Halo 4 on the highest pedestal of the franchise.
I liek story

If Halo 4 was the last Halo then I could see it as a great way to go out but when I know it's just the beginning of a saga that's going to span 3 more games it feels forced. I don't know who any of the characters are besides Master Chief and Cortana, and those are the only 2 I really care about. I do care about them to. The whole time playing Halo 3 I was expecting the Master Chief story arch to in any way, be finished. It was. Halo 3 felt complete. Yeah I saw the legendary ending but after Halo: Reach I accepted that whatever wait for him on Requiem was not my or anybody else's business. I mean, what of the Empire after Return of the Jedi? EXACTLY! Our hero's won and that's all that matters. Master Chief and Cortana would live or die off screen. Fine. When this, and the news of a new Halo trilogy came to light my first thought was how they were milking the cash cow and while Halo 4 is solid on it's story, I'm kicking and screaming "NO MORE!!!" What is just maybe the best or at least most critically successful FPS franchise in the world is treading on thin ice and watching this happen is killing me in a way. They are going to kill Halo. My opinions are fully expressed in my full review here. Feel free to comment on it.

They didn't do so well in explaining why the Elites were fighting against you again... "A lot can happen in four years" is about all we got

They didn't do so well in explaining why the Elites were fighting against you again... "A lot can happen in four years" is about all we got Up front? Yeah pretty much. But over the course of the game, through tiny little bits here and there, you learn that the small Covenant armada is more fanatical in nature and ate right out of the Didact's hand. And Halo 4 did a pretty poor job of explaining who and what the Didact even was (is) ((spoiler alert)) (((sorry))). For that, you have to play, ironically, Halo 3 and find all the terminals. Realistically though, it's because the majority of Halo players had voiced that they liked fighting elites more than brutes. Brutes would have made SO much more sense though....

Man... Fighting brutes was a piece of piss... I could slap down brutes all day every day... But elites? FUCK THOSE GUYS! Man, they were SO much harder... I went from being able to play Halo 3 with practically all the skulls on at Legendary difficulty to getting my ass handed to me without them on in Halo Reach at Legendary, all because of fuckin' Elites
