Halo 4 is a game that happens after Halo 3. To be perfectly honest I have very little recollection of what happened in the original trilogy so this kind of felt the same as before, which isn't to say it felt bad because it felt really good. I did play this game on co-op so maybe I need to play by myself to see if I pick up on the story a little more, but as it stands is a decent vehicle for the stellar game play at work.
343 is the new studio taking over the franchise from Bungie and it's really heavy handed that they want you to know they aren't evil people who are going to destroy the game. I feel the best way that they could say that would be to make a really great game, not by saying "Thanks for trusting us..." because we did not choose you to do this.
All of that aside this is Halo. There are some new enemies with some new weapons, but 343 did little to change up the formula of the previous 4 games. There were some great ideas like having more armor abilities, but they are still a one and done thing. To be honest I played this and then immediately moved onto Borderlands 2 and this Halo 4 feels shallow compared to that. There will be a Halo 5 someday, I hope that the designers take some more chances and shake things up a bit, cause I could always play Halo 4 again, or 3... or 2 (it all seems the same).
