New Developer, Best Halo has ever been!

User Rating: 10 | Halo 4 (Wireless Controller Bundle) X360
The halo franchise was the sole reason I bought an Xbox 360 in the first place. This is the case for myself and many, many others. Halo is one of Xbox's exclusive babies. So it is understandable when high standards and expectations are pegged onto every new halo release. Bungie Innovated the FPS genre with its revolutionary movement and aiming system in Halo: Combat evolved. Bungie always innovated, they always looked for ways to make their game better and better with each new release unlike some of its competitors who release the same game every year (we all know who I am talking about). So it is fair to say that Halo 4 had a high bar set for it; and it was not Bungie who committed itself to this challenge. It was 343 Studios. All Halo Fans were worried when they heard their beloved game developer was not continuing its glorious franchise and it was being picked up by someone new. I know I was scared that my favorite game was going to be ruined. But I could not be more happy to say that Halo 4 is by far the best Halo game to this date. It is epic, it is smooth, it is just plain fun!! My first playthrough of it replaced all my worried with pure, unimaginable joy that the impossible had been done. 343 studios out-did Bungie. They innovated, upgraded, and improved the "Halo" experience. The singleplayer was phenomenal. It felt like halo but it added an even more personal and heart-touching story. They unlocked a part of the Halo universe that fans have been craving for years. The forerunner world is so interesting and enticing that I cannot help but play and earn everything I can about them. It brought new enemies that we had to work out the best way to kill. It was like the first Halo game; fighting against a completely unknown enemy that cannot help but put doubts in our mind as to whether humanity can fight back. I cannot wait to continue this storyline to its very end! After you beat the singleplayer, the multiplayer is something that you just need to jump into straight away. The multiplayer is amazing. They even provided a backstory to you fighting your own Spartans that made everything make so much more sense. You jump into a game and immediately start fighting with your comrades to improve your Spartan skills. The guns feel right, the movement in flawless, and the combat has the same awesome halo feel to it. The classic game modes are back along with fun new ones. They balanced everything to about as balanced as it can possibly get. I cannot say enough good words about this game in this review to describe how I feel about it.
