Today’s game is Halo 4. Me and my friend ended up reversing our decision to go to Halo Reach then 4. The game looks amazing, i can’t help but feel like it’s missing some of the Halo feel to it though. It kind of reminds me more of Doom 2016 (despite being 4 years older). It’s still fun to play though, just feels off.

I had this fun bug where an Elite was A-Posing in space after i killed him. It was funny to see, so i selected to use it as the main screenshot.

The game does have some wonderful landscapes though. Nowhere similar to Halo 3’s or Halo 1’s psychedelic-esque landscapes, but still they look pretty. They remind me a bit of The Shire in the Lord of The Rings. I think it’s all the green probably:

The levels feel a bit longer in this one, and a bit harder than Halo 3’s. To help combat this we ended up trying to ramp a warthog into the next area where it doesn’t belong. We got it up the lip that was stopping us using a ghost, but right after rounding the corner the Warthog was hit by a Grunt and his Dick Brigade of Fuel Rods and that was the end of that thing. Here’s a screenshot of the poor Warthog after we left it to continue on with our journey.

In the area after this, i kept having a reoccurring bug where my PS5 controller would just disconnect and i’d have to restart. It was that specific area only though. I don’t know if it’s because of Linux, Proton, or just a MCC issue, but i had to spend the whole rest of the level playing with Keyboard and Mouse. Despite never doing it, it turned out to be easier than i thought.

Overall i think i greatly enjoyed the other Halos better, but i’m not ruling Halo 4 out until i beat it to give it a fair chance. The controller bug was definitely a mood killer though.
