Gamearena's review
It's harsh, but it's really hard to disagree with anything that he's said based on what we've seen. Dude makes some good point (though I disagree that the series didn't evolve under Bungie, especially in terms of multiplayer. That's kind of a silly thing to say).
Still, worth a read.
The most interesting critique to me was about the fact that Halo 4 is trying to introduce aspects of the extended fiction (Cortana's Rampancy, the increased focus on the Forerunners) into the game, and that, because this is the first time it's ever been mentioned in the games, it feels incredibly forced. This isn't the first time I'd heard this.
343 keeps saying that you won't need to understand the expanded fiction to enjoy Halo 4's story, but it doesn't seem to be true, given the fact that more than a few reviewers have said that they're basically forcing it down your throat.

"...for reasons I can't fathom. In a match of Infinity Slayer (Team Deathmatch) - where the goal sees each team race to 600 points, the points earned by each player on each team at the end of the game added up to 980 to 900. Obviously the game was only adding points for kills - but why? Why have us race to a point total when we're really counting kills?"Stopped reading right there. How can anyone be that clueless? It's Slayer, why would anything other than kills count?
