They are adding swat next week checked their website

Nice! I was a big swat fan back in halo 3 and reach going like 5.0 k/d ratio each match lol  

-.-  

Sorry ill delete my bad I'm on ps3 anyways  

Meh campaign was OK overall i prefer halo 3s campaign with the epic scarab tank battles on huge maps making you feel like you were in a war, they tried this with the mammoth tank level, but it wasnt fun having to travel on an invinsible car to then get off and press like 5 buttons and destroy 6 shields etc. I hated how every mission involved you having to press at least 5 buttons, it almost felt like a fetch quest, over and over, "go to 3 spires, press 3 buttons, go to a last spire, press more buttons".

To the multiplayer, i liked it, the gui/interface is abit bad imo, i preffered the map list, with players on the side, (just looks messy to me) the gameplay is nice just again this is my opinion but i dont like how theres no weapons on the map besides the ones you choose to start with and the ones from occassional ordinance drops. Also the maps i didnt like ;( theyre all the same type, i missed huge, awesome looking maps from halo 3 and reach like forgeworld, sandtrap and the other cool ones. On the otherhand, alot of the armour ive seen looks pretty cool, visors look **** tho ;p but the helmet/armour is cool, reach's commando/recon is still better. And finally, NO UNSC FLYING VEHICLES!!???? where is my falcon, where is it? No falcon only frekin banshees, at least we got mega OP mechs that take 3 spartan lasers to kill that have rocket launchers and chain guns

Also the jetpack only last like 3 secounds ;(

Only thing ill admit about the campaign is flying that pelican, falconyjet thingy and those other cool vehicles were epic
Campaign 8/10
Multiplayer 7/10

I must admit i do destroy at multiplayer :p first match i played i came first with 32 kills and 3 deaths, then went on to win 6 more matches in a row

I agree the campaign got really redudant with the constant, go press this button or go destroy this point. It was a solid campaign though considering its 343's first time. Also (campaign spoilers)

Spoiler

I dont think Cortana is officially "dead" like everyone is saying, shes just stuck in the AI world or whatever (still confused on where she actually is) We never got to see Chief find or talk to Halsey about getting Cortana back. I predict she'll be back along with Arbiter and the rest of the gang in Halo 5 and 6.

Sounds like you want them to just recreate the Halo 3 multiplayer :/
We live in a CoD world and I think they were kinda forced to add sprint for everyone and up the kill times a little bit or else the multiplayer would feel dated to anyone who isnt a long time Halo player.
I enjoy it though, I love spawning with stickys and my choice of weapon, no more AR starts. I could live without sprint and prom. vision though which almost kills the purpose of crouching anymore.

Where did I say that? You can re invent multiplayer and make it modern without copying other games. My biggest problem is that you grind xp to get new guns. That is something that I absolutely hate and was definitely not needed. Halo's multiplayer is defined by everyone having the same guns, so that it is purley skill based when playing something such as slayer.  

You unlock the UNSC weapons at level 2, Covenant at level 5, and Promethean at 22. By level 22 you will have every Primary/Secondary/Grenade and some Armor/Tactical/Support unlocked. It doesn't take long at all, maybe four hours or so into the release I was above a 20.

BR used for close to mid, DMR for mid to long, and the Lightrifle at long range. Halo has always been fast paced, not to degree of CoD and it still isn't to that pace and if you think Battlefield is fast paced then you have no idea what you're talking about.  

All the guns are extremely balanced IMO anyways. My cousin muches off my live and plays online with me, and he will have to remain level one. I never told him how to do load outs because it will just reset next time he logs out, so he uses AR all the time and usually comes out with about 10 kills a match. Keep in mind the only halo he has ever played was reach and 3 and that was all within a 3 month span of when he moved here.

I honestly don't see a problem with the gun unlocking. Me personally unlocked the BR first and haven't had to unlock a new gun since. I unlocked Light Rifle recently just to see how it plays out, but I still prefer my ol' BR  

AR is beast, no-one uses it that i see but i comeout with 20-30 kills a match  

Totally buying it =D love halo

It's hardly a grind to get new guns, unless you consider playing a few matches "grinding"  

I think its too easy to level up in this one i level up like every match or 2

I don't know about you, but it sure doesn't take me two games to earn this much exp. If you do a game of Spartan Ops, you get 4,000-5,999 and online for War Games usually 1,500-2,900.

On another note, I beat the campaign with my friend. It was really fun and the ending wasn't really as bad as people described it. It was sad, but still wasn't terrible. If you guys haven't seen this reward system for Halo 4, you should check it out. You get Microsoft points for being an addict. It's on the official Xbox Live Rewards site. Usually the rewards suck, but these actually aren't too bad if you play a lot.

I'm not too big a fan of the gameplay, it feels too much of a mix between Reach and Black Ops to me. The game just doesn't play out too much like a Halo game, and feels like a completely new game to me. I don't know. Might just be my Halo 2/3-fanboyism coming out in me and refusing to accept a new game.

The campaign was great, though.

I'm sad that they didn't preserve the absolute equality between players in Multiplayer, though.

That was always a big appeal to me.
