OXCGN’s Halo 4 Review

Reclaiming the Chief

It’s quite difficult to properly express how great my anticipation was for Halo 4.

Halo. The innovator and father of the modern console FPS.

Eleven years ago, Halo under Bungie redefined what was possible with a shooter on consoles.

Now, with new developer 343 Industries at the helm of a new trilogy, the fate of the Master Chief is in the hands of the world.

Luckily 343 hits the mark and the Chief will live to fight many more days.

Why Has Halo 4 Brought Out the Worst in Everyone?

Why Has Halo 4 Brought Out the Worst in Everyone?

Big games and attention seeking behaviour

When Halo 4‘s embargo lifted, reviews from sites such as IGN, Stevivor and Destructoid flooded the internet with praise and it seemed that 343 Industries’ entry into the Halo franchise, and the first of the new Reclaimer trilogy, was on the right track to be one of the best console exclusive games.

A triumphant return for the Master Chief and Cortana who have been out of commission since 2007.

That was until other journalists coming in after the flurry of early reviews posted theirs.

Some of them weren’t nearly as approving as the those that came before it.

Worse still, other sites were quick to jump to criticise Halo 4 for the silliest of reasons.

Halo 4 is going to be a blockbuster and there is no better way to start getting excited for the return of Master Chief than by watching the Halo web series Forward Unto Dawn.

We had the chance to sit down and interview Tom Green, the Australian in the lead role of this top quality web series.

All episodes of Forward Unto Dawn are embedded below the interview for your viewing pleasure, and they are worth watching, even if you don’t know Halo lore.

Forward unto the interview and websodes this way

At this point, I feel as if I’m going to explode from the Halo 4 hype.

I haven’t quite felt this much excitement for a title since Halo 3 five long years ago, and Halo 4 looks to be the best title in the series yet.

While we wind down the final days until we reunite with the Master Chief and kill all of our friends, it’s time to look to the past one more time.

Here is our third and final comparison between Halo 3, Reach, and Halo 4.

Go crazy over how good Halo 4 looks here!
