Granted, Halo 4 started borrowing CoD's "sudden QTE/gameplay change" for its' campaign, which... Honestly felt like it clashed enough with what most of the series had done beforehand that it lowered my opinion of it even further.

...On the other hand, that's probably also because so many of them were poorly executed. gently caress that flying mission at the end! :argh:

gently caress Halo 4 in general. They made some nice improvements to the graphics of the game (especially on the Xbox360), but the story was really poorly handled and the multiplayer was a joke.

And the Prometheans had to be the single most aggravating NPC faction in the entire franchise the one time I played through H4's campaign.

This was the last CoD game I bought. What came after it was just too much streamlined action movie stuff to be really enjoyable for me. This game is pretty good though, all things considered. Except for the defense under the ferris wheel in Pripyat. That part is bullshit and got me killed a million times

E: Also the first level left another mental mark on me. Like, back in the day I thought the part where the ship twists and turns while you run&gun through it was the coolest poo poo

That's the thing, I think: CoD4's story was relatively more nuanced than anything they've put out since. I mean, it goes to some lengths to point out that a lot of the major conflicts ultimately boiled down to blowback from the U.S.'s interventions/actions in the closing years of the Cold War.

On the plus side, we're getting to what may be the other most-remembered sequence of this game. I'd honestly consider it the highlight... If it wasn't for those loving dogs. :argh:

For someone who hasn't played any CoD since World at War, what made MW3 and Ghosts so terrible?

So, just in time for Halo to complete the slide into its' nadir? :v:

Something tells me that the inevitable Halo 6 will break expectations on just how much lower the franchise can sink.
