Wow.......I don't think I've ever been more dissapointed in a single game in my entire life. I just beat Halo4 yesterday coz I spent the past several days playing Assassin's Creed 3 *dun get much time to play my games anymore TwT*
I beat the story mode of Halo4, which was a lot of fun I admit, even if the levels were not as creative as in 3, like going into gravemind's entrails. I gave up playing online period a few months ago, I connect my Xbox for DLC and updates only now. So imagine my surprise when I found out they took out firefight and the forge world that were in halo reach, and that is doubled by the fact you need a gold membership to actually access any online content anyway. The main problem with this is I live in America, and we have lots of rural areas where their is no ready high-speed internet, and I've heard about huges net, and a lot of my friends that have it says it lags bad enough to where they wont play competitively online.
I was very, very dissapointed by 343 industries, 4 felt like a watered down version of 1 or 2, with a new storyline, and for a starting company taking up the largest console title on the planet that's so pathetic it's not funny. I was so upset that after beating it and finding out there was no forge world, no firefight, nothing but online play, I took the game back to gamestop and sold it. I never abandon games I find fun, I have been playing splinter cell conviction, rainbow six:vegas 2, GTA4, need for speed: hot pursuit 2010, Legend of Zelda: twilight princess and more at least once every month or so for the past 3 years now. I expect this for COD, but at least they include spec ops *even if I can't stand it, it's still there >_>* but not halo, I really did expect more, and I think when halo5 comes out I'll rent it from gamefly instead of buying it.
