Analysis: Halo 4 - The Worst Halo - JarekTheGamingDragon

The covenant in this game are “storm covenant” I understand why you don’t know that, it’s a throwaway line and a lazy explanation to fight the covenant. Their whole backstory is that they are former covenant who banned together after the fall and are still religious towards forerunner artifacts. They aren’t explored any further except in spartan ops which no-one played. Kinda shitty IMO and very clearly there so you have an excuse to fight covenant.

This is one of the few times i disagree with Jarek. Don’t get me wrong, Halo 4 was a HUGE disappointment. However, i have an enormous grudge against Halo 5... campaign sucked and the microtransactions were so fucking invasive. I absolutely hate that game. Either way, Jarek has some very strong points against Halo 4, don’t blame him at all for thinking it’s the worst in the franchise.

[@Nicomanism]

@@forrestrichard6820 In 2013 , I remembered purchasing the Xbox 360 250GB Bundle that came with Tomb Raider Reboot download code . Diving into the first two or three levels of campaign, it deterred my interest. Still won't comprehend what was all the hype for Halo 4 ; the campaign bore me. Immediately, I hopped into multiplayer, and it was way soulless than Reach . Map design was garbage. Weapon sounds were "better", but were terrible to play with. As Jarek said, every worse idea taken from Reach was brought back to Halo 4. I also recalled that 343 were trying to compete with Black Ops II in 2012. Forge plus custom games were not worth participating in Halo 4 . Now that I recall, this game was the rise of the division of people not wanting to continue the Halo franchise. The divide started with Reach, but Reach was "passable" since it was made by Bungie. With 343 being involved in this entry, Halo 4 is what caused most fps fans, halo fans,players - who supported Bungie Halo games - to move on to other games. Because they saw that this is where the downfall of Halo begin.

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

Halo 5 didn't have invasive microtransactions. I'll assume you're just repeating what angry joe said. You got so many REQ packs for free that you never even felt compelled to buy any thing. The only thing in the REQ packs were cosmetics that don't affect the game and REQ gun variants for a specific mode that no one really cared about, warzone. The core halo modes were not affected in any way. The money that went into the microtransactions gave us A TON of new free content and also put money into the Halo Championship pot bonuses. At the end of the day, the REQ system was WAY better than traditional dlc.

Halo 4 Elite design is terrible.

[@Irondrone4]

Even as someone who really liked the Bungie-era Halo novels, I've always hated the exclusion of story elements in the games in favor of putting it in novels. This made parts of Halo 4 and 5 really confusing for people who hadn't read the novels, to the point that it even bugged me; someone who knew what was going on. Halo 2 and Reach also had their issues (with Reach also completely retconning at least two of the novels), but with 4 and 5 it got worse. But the multiplayer...God, I hate 4's multiplayer. The loadout unlock and the "killstreak" systems absolutely borked 4's multiplayer. Halo has always been a series where its weapons have individual purposes and roles, and that doesn't change in 4, but the game wants to treat them more like a Call of Duty or Battlefield arsenal; a lot of different options for a smaller number of roles. Smashing those two systems together creates serious power gaps between players depending on their unlock levels, and also throws out the old arena idea of "spawning resets you to basic".

[@danielr3244]

Still think to this day that they should’ve focused on making this Reclaimer trilogy more focused around the Forerunners Make the Prometheans more varied and better to fight, less reliance on the covenant, and have the Didact as the big bad

[@TheVengefulVadam]

Big agree on a lot of your points for the multiplayer. Thankfully, there are standard gametypes now that turn off the loadouts. With them off, the multiplayer is so different. The gunplay is actually really solid outside of the lack of descoping.

As chaotic as the multiplayer is in halo 4, I feel it is best enjoyed playing Big Team Battle. Most of the maps catered to BTB and it feels like halo + battlefield lite.

BTB was actually really fun in Halo 4, but that was about it lol

[@GhostAnimatesStuff]

The funny thing is that the multiplayer isn't the reason I personally dislike a huge part of Halo 4, it's actually the Prometheans. I loudly sighed whenever I had to fight them, and their weapons were also not that interesting. I actually found Halo 5's prometheans a lot more fun to fight, the promethean only levels were a chore to get trough in Halo 4.

[@southpaw117]

That, along with the lack of UNSC ammo throughout the entire game, made the levels Dawn and Composer the only ones I truly enjoyed from a purely gameplay perspective.

[@Cryfield1999]

[@cursedhawkins1305]

You may want to hold that thought because a lot of people likely more than you think didn't like Reach not because of the story (thought it did play a part of it) but it was also the abilities that really drove the nail into it especially the armor lock ability that made you immune to all kinds of damage while active.

PREACH

[@FortressLordJP193]

Reach had a really weak weapon sandbox where half the guns weren't worth picking up, it introduced sprinting to the franchise, was a sign of the times with mandatory film grain and desaturated colours... But it was by Bungie not 343 so it may as well be a holy artifact as far as gamer opinions go.

[@martincann5052]

This may be just me, but Del Rio looks kinda like Ric Flair. Maybe that's why he's such an OTT heel.

[@Huy-G-Le]

I know they should have address this in the game, but the Covenant break into sectors which warlords ruling some, and the rest break into Western Roman vs Eastern Roman BS. That Elite is either just a Mercenaries now, as in the comic, many former Covenant works as Mercs for hires, or he is among the extremist factions, still believes in the big lies of those prophets. Make sense, cause when those Blue lizard dude realizes they are trains from birth to be weapons of wars, many of them start questioning the concept of wars, honors ETC after they have the liberty to thinks about it, of course, some realize the contradiction and just choose to works for whomever paid them the most, which in most case are Humans Elite from the Corporates worlds in the comic.

[@sunjoexys7251]

Hate to disappoint you, but I just played Halo 4 on MCC Steam for the first time last week, and I really liked it. What I appreciate in the game: the overall presentation including levels, story, graphics. Seriously, after reading and watching so many reviewers hating it to the bone, I expected the levels, weapons and overall experience to be utter crap. I found that not to be the case. What I think could have been improved: over-reliance on neon lights in the Promethean/Requiem art design. It's as if Forerunners were really into nightclubs and discos.

[@Nicomanism]

In my opinion, 343 should've left aside the Halo Franchise and make a new IP. Halo 4 saw the rise of many people,not wanting to support nor play their upcoming games.

When the game came out in the 360 the multiplayer was a shell of what halo 3 and halo reach was. Allmost no games modes. No king of the hill no swat no team snipers no griff ball nearly nothing. And the fact that 343 had to make a voting poll just to see if we wanted those game modes back indicated how disconected 343 was with the fan base.

[@bradneece2409]

Halo 4 is my favorite story in a campaign despite its short comings, because of Chief and Cortana's development and the themes it explores. Other than that, I think H4 is one of the weakest games in the franchise. P.s. Chief's new armor is the one thing I actually prefered in the newer art style, and I think Infinite's armor is the best of both styles and it's my favorite.

[@lllXanderlll]

Say what you will about Halo 4 but they did create the thickest most attractive Cortana design and that couldn't have been accidental and must go down as a positive Oh yeah and I share the opinion that the 360 controller really made Halo 4 tougher because even playing with an Xbox One controller is so much easier than with the 360. And if I remember there was a playlist later on that removed loadouts and reqs which was really nice, they also had really cool game modes like dominion and ricochet -neither of which ever came back which sucks because ricochet was really fun

[@lllXanderlll]

@@Jarekthegamingdragon Xbone compared 360 feels better in my hand for sure but at least for me the sticks feel way less responsive then again my 360 controller is older than my Xbone one so there's that. But I can imagine doing it on m&k would be super buttery

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

Funny enough the problem I have with the Xbone controller is that the analog sticks are too sensitive and small.

[@lllXanderlll]

@@Jarekthegamingdragon Yeah it would be better if the place your thumb rests on the xbone controller was bigger. It also feels like the material for their sticks is just better, my thumbs don't feel like they slip as much on them as they did on the 360 - which is super subjective admittedly

[@southpaw117]

Cortana definitely looked her best here, and her animations were incredible (I know they were merely motion-captured, but the actress really allowed the Cortana model to shine to its potential), not to mention Jen Taylor's best work in the franchise.

I have such conflicted feelings about Halo 5. I also used to play halo very competitively and have a lot of crazy clips from Halo 5. But all that said, even though i have way more hours in multiplayer than campaign, i value halos campaign way more. And its a shame, cause i liked halo 4s campaign despite its problems, and i honestly think Halo 5 has the best multiplayer I've ever played in a halo game, but god did the campaign suck, and it just drags it down my tier list. It could've been my favorite halo if its campaign didnt leave such a stale taste in my mouth. For every positive halo 5 has it has a huge negative. It has the best forge in the series, but no playable elites or fall damage which limits what you can make in it. It has an amazing, deep multiplayer but the theater mode is the worst I've ever seen in a game and doesnt even work in campaign. That game was so all over the place, and the shame is that i know most people hated it so the good things that it did won't be carried over

Forerunners in halo 1-3: we can create weapons that can destroy all life in the galaxy in a moments notice. Forerunners in 4 and 5: our ground personnel are outfitted with weapons on par with primitive Human and Covenant weapons, and we don't know why we lost to the flood. Idk, the forerunners just seemed stronger before, and now I don't know how they were the power houses of the ancient world if any group can come together and take down armies of Forerunner machines. Tell me if I'm missing something.

I only found out about sprint when I was in a loading screen in the final few seasons of Spartan Ops, and the hints were showing, and I was like: “wHat The fUCk, thERe WERE spRint ThiS eNtire tiME?” So I went to check in key bindings, because even the hints doesn’t show you the button to sprint, and it was default “c”, and my finally thought about this game is that, “Who...the fuck...thought that this is a good idea...to default sprint to “c” instead of “shift”, which is an industry standard at this point.

Both like and dislike Halo 4, the art style is not great and the campaign is both neat and also meh, but I like the stuff with Cortana and I like Chief talking more outside of one-liners, and I hate to admit it but its multiplayer is kind of a guilty pleasure when I wanna turn my brain off

[@edwinortega4499]

I see your view on the multiplayer part, your definitely right, it's not real halo. However if you looked past it and took it as its own thing it was damn fun. It really was cod halo edition. The randomness made one take it less seriously and just have fun.

[@stewart2589]

I was still a kid (not teen) when this came out and it didn't feel like halo in fact I totally forgot it was a halo game when meeting Lasky

[@PlungerMettaur]

I could not tell you a single thing that happened in Halo 4's campaign and while the multiplayer modes aren't great, I think that 5's multiplayer is the worst for one reason and one reason only: The cards The cards where an excuse to add in lootboxes I hated them at launch and I still hate them now

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

REQ packs literally have no impact on any core Halo 5 MP mode. That's not a valid reason to dislike Halo 5 MP.

I can't believe that 2012 was the year I played a COD game substantially more than a Halo game. Even years later with the disappointment tempered, I still can't really enjoy it. And believe me, I tried really hard.

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

To be fair, black ops 2 is arguably the best COD game in the entire franchise. I miss it.

[@Retr0Danny25]

I don't know why But I Liked halo 4. I know I'm inhuman

[@Carrier-06]

Multiplayer has zero value to me. But thay should have stopped at Halo 3.

[@TheDittoMan]

You only play Halo for the campaign? That's like buying a PS5 and not getting any exclusives.

[@rickygforce4217]

You only play Halo for the campaign. Y I K E S

[@sebastianrojas1972]

Its true that halo 4 is not as good as the previous ones, but i like to see halo 4 as an epilogue for the franschise,something to close the story, and when you look at it like that it isnt that bad.

[@GatoConBotas403]

Ngl 6:50 the voice acting from the captain is really good

[@jopeteus]

343 please release halo 5 for PC!!

[@Mussie099]

I would have loved if at the start when you're on the Dawn if the UNSC weapons were the same ones in Halo 3 then we get the updated weapons later in the game

[@zebare726]

I remembered attending the Halo 4 midnight launch, and then trying to relive some Halo Midnight gaming. But after playing maybe 6h of multiplayer, I gave up. To only pick up the game again with the aim of playing through the story. the game multiplayer felt like a strange mixure of cod, Reach and Halo 3.

[@dewittbourchier7169]

Aside from the brightness and the forerunner enemies I actually quite liked Halo 4's campaign. It is a nice sequel and it finalises the romance that has been developing with Master Chief and Cortana. It humanises the Chief so instead of him just being this unstoppable stoic soldier he is still as badass as ever but it is unambiguous about the fact that there is a human being in that armour who has felt every loss - every Marine killed because you were a little sloppy with how you turned the tank or your warthog at the wrong time, Captain Keyes, Commander Keyes, Sergeant Johnson and he's kind of afraid that if he steps out of his armour he'll fall to pieces. But he still gets the job done. I also liked Captain Del Rio - he's what commanding officers and a lot of bosses are like. Technically competent, but missing key things when they give you orders - and they're often not very reasonable or flexible.

Happy new year Jarek boi

[@shaunnathanson6905]

happy new year Jerek here is to 500k subs come on guys make it happen!!!!!!!!!

[@ThatWolfFromHyruleGaming]

Also Cortana was really strangely humanized and sexualized. They did not need to make her so detailed as a hologram...

[@hateraccoon5686]

"I'm not just gonna be playing the campaign over and over again..." NERVOUSLY SWEATS

[@Haidar_AS]

11:37 eyy eyy, but do you remember Halo CE Shotgun tho? oh and Halo CE Assault rifle??

[@BeckoningSage]

12:46 4 Burst........4....Burst.....Did I slip into an alternate dimension where the BR fires 4 shots instead of 3?

[@Jarekthegamingdragon]

4 burst, not 4 round burst. Those are two different things. 4 burst meaning 4 bursts to kill.

[@doomguyrox1156]

I mean I prefer campaign over the multiplayer so in my opinion I'm sticking with Halo 5 being the worst, though I will say Halo 5's multiplayer is much better than 4s, but for me i don't really like 4 or 5's multiplayer. This has nothing to do with the video topic, but I played Halo in a weird ass order, my first game was REACH, then I played Halo CE Anniversary, then 4, then 5, and this year finally playing 2, 3, and 3 ODST. Ranking for campaigns worst to best in my opinion 5, 4, ODST, REACH, 3, 2 (Though not my favorite because of a certain difficulty, but writing is the best), and CE Ranking for Halo multiplayer from worst to best in my opinion: 4, 5, REACH, CE, 3, and then 2 Was just saying my opinion sorry for the long comment, nice video mate and keep dishing them out
