Halo 4 is the newest Halo game developed by 343 Industries and it is probably the best one made so far. It has amazing graphics and the story is absolutely fantastic. The game includes some new features such as new enemies and new weapons that correspond to the enemies. Both additions are welcoming after 3 games with the same enemies and, for the most part, weapons. The new additions are well balanced within the game. The Promethean enemies are harder to beat than the Covenant, but instead of ruining the game, it just adds a new challenge. The game difficulty over all has increased; the Heroic difficulty in Halo 4 is comparable to a Legendary difficulty on any other Halo game. The new additions make the players rethink their set strategies. The AI is smarter and is able to anticipate player’s moves easier, making each time a player plays the game different.
The game also has some new armor abilities, a carryover from Halo Reach that adds a little extra to the game. At some points, the armor abilities can make or break a mission. When players play the campaign on co-op, once a player dies, they are brought back with weapons that are specific to that level and to the enemies in that level. This is different from the standard assault rifle and pistol that is standard in the other halo games.
The most original and new idea to come from this game is the Spartan Ops. Spartan Ops is a compilation of short missions that will be released each week that adds new levels and more info to the story. It is kind of like a tv series each week, but in video game form. The missions are relatively short, but hopefully as the rest of this season progresses, the missions themselves will get longer.
Overall, the game is amazing. The graphics are unbelievable, the story is fantastic, and the game mechanics are as solid as ever. Even the music in the game is incredible as it paces the players along. Halo 4 is not the failure some were predicting from 343i, but rather, it is a true delight.
