If anybody wants to play multiplayer with me (Killam), my gamer tag is Professor Sam. I'll be on again about five hours from now (off to see Argo). Be warned - I sound like a twelve year old on Xbox live, but you can tell I'm not one because I don't call you ethnic slurs and threaten to rape your mum if I lose.

I friend requested you about a week ago, for this very reason. The ball is in your court sir.

They were working again early this morning when I was playing. There's very rarely a big release without some sort of technical issue though, so it wasn't a big deal for me. I can't wait for them to drop more multiplayer game variants. SWAT is already confirmed by IGN, and hopefully they'll put in more specific Slayer games like Snipers.
I'm loving the campaign as well, but multiplayer is obviously where the replay value is. I wasn't a big fan of Halo 3, but Reach was my favorite shooter...probably ever? Maybe? I haven't made a decision yet - like it matters - but this may replace it as my favorite Halo game. Guns like the DMR just feel so responsive and are fun to use. The promethean weapons in campaign look so damn cool. You pick them up and they construct around your hand. Bad ass.
Not sure how I feel about the loadouts. Halo has always been about on-map weapons. Now it's more like Halo: Modern Warfare. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because the game is still hella fun to play. And ordinances mean you can still get the other weapons. And from time to time it seems random weapons do drop on the map. There's also a "classic" mode you can play in custom matchmaking, to play with weapons on the map. So I think there's probably something there for everyone. Really, really great game.

In my opinion, yes. There are some things that the other games did better individually. I still think the story of Halo 2's campaign was the best. The Halo 3 soundtrack is better. Reach had a better set of multiplayer screens that were easier to navigate. But you'll always be able to find something out there that's better in different ways. I'd say as a full game, top to bottom, Halo 4 is the best in its series since Halo 2. So better than Halo 3, ODST, and Reach.
