Dear 343 Industries, I have been a huge fan of halo since combat evolved was first released in 2001, i grew up with halo it is as much apart of me as the rest of the die hard halo fans out in the world. I applaud you for stepping up to the task in continuing the journey of our hero Master Chief it is no easy task and the bar was set pretty high for halo 4 and i could on speculate how intimidating it was to be given the opportunity to create this game. There are however quite a few things that sadden me about this game. The story was well told but i feel like it failed to captivate the players imagination and feelings the way that halo 1 through 3 did, yes the story arch of cortana becoming corrupted was a great move with the character but i felt that the didact portion of the story is the part that failed. I didnt feel that the didact was evil let alone threatening enough to the master chief. What made the original halo storyline so great was that it was not one person alone that sought for the destruction of the human race but a number of different alien species bent on a holy crusade. I feel that if the forerunners returned it should have been their whole race not two of them. The prometheans weren't nearly as fun to fight as the covenant were. They were actually really annoying to fight against. they had no personality, no purpose. and i feel that playing off master chiefs superhuman strength was a bit to far and made he seem less of a actual human, another thing is that master chiefs face should have never been revealed, with that reveal the player stopped being master chief and the great magical bond was broken, his face was something only the true fans could read about and imagine themselves it was a thing of mystery and legend something that should have stayed that way. I also believe the only way to successfully end the halo series is to give Master Chief a death only fit for a legend, a Spartan. Going down in a hail of gunfire doing what he was born to do. Saving the Human Race. The multiplayer was a utter failure. The multiplayer to me ceased to be halo as everything that made the halo multiplayer great was thrown out. Halo feels less like halo and more of a COD style game. The mechs are severely overpowered and should have been left out of the multiplayer all together. The audio seems off while playing multiplayer, the grav lifts are too loud and make inaudible sounds that interfere with gameplay. I don't believe master chief should have to sprint because he's superhuman and i believe he is fast enough without it. please return to what halo 2 and 3 were, bring back the ranking, clans, and the halo that we all knew and loved.
