I guess I have to say it. yesterday since 10:00 PM i stood in line for Halo 4 then at about 12:45 AM today i started playing the game. I have to say I am a concern consumer. The ideas and new gameplay elements that 343 implemented in Halo 4 were great. The story was good. But there are several things I am very upset with! Since i have own every halo game there has been I am very well invested in this franchise so I feel the need to point out my frustration!!!

To start, though there are some great model characters in the game but, this game has been the first halo game I have seen with so many object pop ups! When you look at it most of the world and the objects in it at close range the texture looks HORRIBLE!!!! At first I thought I was mistaken I mean this is the new halo after all and the review spoke so highly of the graphics, but i had to test it out. I took Halo: reach and analyzed the textures of several objects that also appear in Halo 4 with a scope. WOW I could not believe it!! HALO REACH looks better! and with the level of detail it has like if you ride the ghost notice the screen, it will show the area around your cursor in what looks to be heat motion detection. THis is on the screen of the ghost the dashboard.

In Halo 4 nothing shows its like a sticker. Same goes for the wart hog! But I pay mad $$$ for the limited edition so I have to be wrong... right? well I compared it with Halo 3 Can you believe there are objects and vehicles that have better textures than Halo 4!! in REACH and ODST The actual metal plates on ghosts, worthog, wraiths, shows scratches wear and tear in a very detail way. One more thing I have to say with regards the looks of Halo 4 just get up close to a Phantom! Halo 2 had better looking Phantoms! Seems like the graphics engine they made Halo 4 on is not the same for reach or ODST or Halo 3.

The other thing I hated was the AI. Enemies in reach made you feel like, you were stupid and they were genius; the way they moved about and dodge your shots. Halo 4 just uses AI process to have the watchers protect the nights and crawlers.

My other complaint is the level design, the Music OH!!!! THE MUSIC!!! just did not feel like HALO but another call of duty! In all I completely disagree with the review gamespot gave. The Final product of Halo 4 does not impress me. Reach and ODST impress me more. And it feels like 343 rushed this game and did not gave the love and attention it deserved in all departments. Anyhow... the proof is there just compare Halo 4 with reach and ODST side by side. It pains me to say it but I am not happy with these things from Halo 4. Please let me know if you the reader sees it too. It might just be all in my head

One of my favorite villain is Dr. Wallace Breen of Half-Life 2. He brought a sense of human into his Villainy. and base on his excuses for his actions it only makes you wonder if anyone would do the same thing if we were in his shoes
