Does Halo 4 live up to your expectations?

Hello, gamespot.

As I first put in the Halo 4 disc into my xbox today, I could already tell it was something special. I was astounded by the music, and the gun sounds are absolutely amazing. I have honestly not found anything other than amazing in this game.

I had high expectations for Halo 4 when it was first announced, but I never thought it would be so good, coming from a new company. 343 has done an outstanding job with this game, and I now know that Halo will be in good hands.

For those of you who got the game, what do you think about it? Please don't post spoilers for those who haven't played/beaten the game.

I'm currently hooked on the MP, and in no way do I think Halo being Call of Duty-fied (as many people said a few weeks ago and leading up to the release). Dominion (I think that's what it's called) is probably my favorite mode so far, it kind of feels like a mix of BF (with the base objectives) and a lot of Halo in there. While the Promethean weapons aren't that different than many of the normal ones, they're unique enough, and a lot of times seem to be better than the returning weapons (I prefer the Promethean shotgun compared to the normal one).

I'll eventually get to the SP when I have a good amount of time to get a substantial amount of time in, but right now the game is going to be taking up far too much of my life.

It's fun, but no. I don't think there will ever be a Halo game that can really beat Halo: CE. But I'm still enjoying it at the end of the day.

Hell yes! It's amazing.. I agree with decko5, it's the best Halo since Halo 2. Easily.
