Can't tell if not really a Halo fan or trolling.
Anyways, thanks for the laugh!

when I think of "trolling", I think of this:

I'm not trolling

I'm being genuinely serious, this game is atrociously bad.

The game isn't bad at all. There are some things I don't like about it, but overall I enjoyed it.

You're entitled to your opinion but "atrociously bad" might be a bit of an overstatement? Sure there are nitpicky things that I don't like in Halo 4 but nothing that breaks the game.

I want it just for the campaign, honestly. I've played so much Halo multiplayer (made 5+ Gold accounts and rushed them to 50 in H2 and H3) and I've just become tired of it.

How is the multiplayer though? I might try it.

It's good. Different from the other games multiplayer, but copied some Call of Duty concepts. They're adding new modes and such every week or so.

What does the gameplay feeling lean towards? Halo 3, Reach, Battlefield, Crysis, CoD, etc?

IMO Multiplayer isn't that fun unless you are in a party with friends. That goes for really any game, but being able to talk and laugh and have fun makes it better.

I never liked other Halo campaigns. The only one I finished was Halo 3. reach bored me and eventually just used it for multiplayer. I enjoyed Halo 4's simply for the story, the gameplay was meh, but the story made me want to keep playing to see what happens next. Games are turning into movies lol.

Mix of Reach and Halo 3.

I think it's a mix of Halo 3, Halo: Reach, and CoD. One of the fun things about playing multiplayer is having a motivation. I sadly reached rank 70 and can't advance any further. I feel the multiplayer lacks custom games. I always wanted to see a Halo game where they would have games like Sacrifice, Smear the *****, Fatboy, Jenga, etc as a playlist. Halo: Reach had some custom gametypes, but not nearly as good. Halo 4 really has none at all. Just typical playlists like oddball, CTF, slayer, and so on.

I like how they add new game types every week though. It's nice to play something new

Halo 3 custom games will be the best, always and forever.

A progression system should not be the reason people play.

Its good

Well it's the main driver behind any modern FPS.
People like to be constantly rewarded for playing.
