The Good:
- The Forerunner Saga (Silentium in particular has toppled Hyperion as my all-time favourite sci-fi novel)
- Halo Evolutions
- Halo Waypoint
- Halo 4's campaign (specifically: story, music, character development and visuals)
- Forward Unto Dawn
- Combat Evolved Anniversary
- Forge Island
- Spartan Ops Episodes 6-10
- DLC map packs (I really like the Majestic and Castle packs, Crimson can suck a -blam!- though)
The Bad:
- "Evolution" of Halo's gameplay (minus sprint as a natural feature)
- Most of Halo 4's armour (though there are a fair few pieces I do like)
- Weapon balancing (at least the Bulletin pointed to an update for precision weapons and vehicles "soon")
- Implementation of the music in the campaign (the music is so -blam!-ing good, but you can barely hear it)
- CSR (really, what's the point if it's not going to show up in the game?)
- Removal of vital Custom Games options (Infection especially is unacceptable)
- Removal of Forge features like precision editing and zooming
- Promethean and Covenant AI in campaign
- 'Return to battlefield, you cum-guzzling semen demon, for trying to leave the map. This isn't Halo 2, you know?!'
- Removal of Firefight (though, the way I see it, FF will never be good unless it bitch-slaps you into working as a team like in ODST).
The Ugly:
- Glasslands
- Halo Encyclopedia (not done by 343, but it is linked to their name. Not only did Tobias Buckell get a lot of things wrong, most of it it copied from Halopedia)
- Everything following the first 33 minutes of the GDC panel
That's all I've got right now. To put it basically, for me, the stuff they do well, they do really well while the stuff that they don't do so well falls flat on its face. I definitely think that people are overly zealous and melodramatic in their 'hate' though, they know deep down that once Halo 5 comes out they'll be saying that "Halo 4 was so much better" and so on - as the pattern has been ever since Halo 2...

Dito.

Many people did, and that's totally okay, but I hated it. :P

(-blam!-ing noobler on haven...nuff said) -forerunner guns in campaign. so im killin' bullet sponges and i run out of ammo no biggy you know i'm not mentaly retarded so i don't need a message saying ''your out of bulllets can't you hear the clicks, go grab a new gun stupid'' and then i'm stuck with forerunner weapons. i can't play a single mission without being forced to use forerunner weapons. now sure oh ah its a new gun look so shiny now you must live with it. its shiny it sucks in combat but you gotta live with it and your gonna love it and to make sure you can no longer use UNSC guns for most of the missions so that you can spend even more time with your new forced-to-be friend. -.- covy weapons are no porshe either... armor. what have you done? in reach i could like a badass with knives and bullets and robotic limbs and flames. but no know your stuck with a type of armor trend that sucks and offers little to no protection. even chief must wear shit now. have i left anything out? forward unto dawn was good waypoint i found it meh you had to watch what you say on the forums though.
