It is all about preference .. I hated 3 and hated reach and hated odst. Everyone knows 2 was the best halo game. I personally like halo 4 better then reach and 3 for multiplayer. The story in 3 was def better then reach and 4. I'm only arguing that 4's multiplayer is enjoyable. The game itself I could take it or leave it. I baught a Xbox for halo 1 and been a huge player and fan of the franchise. It's pure opinion. Every time a halo game came out ppl found something about each one to bitch about. The bitching will continue with 5 and 6 and I have faith that ppl will even gripe about stuff in destiny. But you still bought and played the franchise. I say 343 did a great job for their first time out.
