The Bottom Line:

"Best in series"

I honestly couldn't find anything wrong with this game.

The story is intense and builds upon events earlier in the game and in other Halo games. Master Chief's relationship with Cortana is put to the test in the campaign. The storyline features a new antagonist, which is the Didact and his Promethean army. Covenant forces also appear in this game. The story alone is one of the best in the franchise.

The graphics look absolutely stunning. A huge step over Reach, and it definitely has some of the best graphics of any game this gen.

The multiplayer, oh, multiplayer. By far the best in the series. I can't say it has brought me more fun than Halo 3 did, but as time progresses that will change. The loadout system provides a balanced game for all levels, and ordnance drops can also help you in battle. There are plenty of gamemodes to sink your hours into, and new gametypes are being added weekly. Lag is a miniscule factor in this game.
Spartan Ops was a nice addition, and is a great thing to do after finishing the campaign or if you want to take a break from MP. Lag is a factor from time to time, but that is easily sorted out.
Forge is great, as it has always been. Looking forward to making many maps.

Overall, Halo 4 was one of my favorite games of the generation.
