I remain optimistic about the Halo franchise. Some people have been very critical of the Halo 4 but I personally believe it was a good game. Yes it had it's flaws in both gameplay and story but this was 343's first game. Like others have said I think it was over hyped but that happens a lot with the big franchise games.

The most disappointing game of the series has to be a tie between Halo Reach and Wars. Reach was a complete disappointment because after reading the books it did not feel like this massive war. Plus it completely fucked with the canon. Halo Wars was just confusing story wise and a lot of the time I found my self doing a Jean-Luc Picard.

Gameplay wise though all the games in Halo series are good games.

Saying that I have not played Halo Spartan Assault as I do not have a Windows phone and I would rather gouge out my own eyes then get Windows 8.

Plus with Microsoft doing a U-turn on the DRM and always online stuff I think I know which console I shall be buying .... both but to start Xbox One.
