Fun gameplay: the first time Halo has been this fun since Halo 2, Spartan Ops is a smart way to keep cooperative play fresh, Updates to multiplayer, including personalized loadouts, offer better customization without making the game feel like something it

The story is one of the best in the series, Multiplayer brings the best parts of Halo 2 and 3 while adding modern conveniences, The relationship that develops between Master Chief and Cortana is wonderful, Spartan Ops is a really neat idea and a good way
Spartan Ops might be a tad too easy, especially when it's only four missions a week, It's the hardest Halo campaign to date
Halo 4 is an exceptional title and one of the best games in the series, thanks to its brilliant campaign and satisfying multiplayer....
A new trilogy begins on a solid, but eerily familiar foundation. Halo 4 is everything that fans have come to expect from the series, and though 343 Industries should hopefully take more risks in the future, one thing is certain: Master Chief is back, and...
My history with the Halo franchise has been complicated. My first contact with it was not with the Xbox game, but the PC port of HaloCombat Evolved. At the time, I only played the single player campaign and I felt the game was a decent first person shoo...
