Halo 4/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: Well duh.
 * Broken Base: Noting all the fandom's complaining about Halo 4, Bungie's only response to 343 has been "we're sure glad we don't have to be in your spot anymore." Below's why.
 * No Martin O'Donnell to score the game. But, the fandom was mollified by the announcement Sotaro Tojima (Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots) is the music director and Neil Davidge is the lead composer. Then they heard composer Davidge's score.
 * Halo 4 multiplayer will have Perks similar to Call of Duty and Battlefield 3. Cue the cries of "Ruined FOREVER".
 * Master Chief's new armor. Complaints about 343 messing with the canon with Halo Legends had only just died down by its reveal, but the new images merely forced them up again.
 * After some race-wide Character Development across two games, the Elites have been shoehorned back into being the bad guys.
 * However, it's noted In-Universe they aren't standard military, possibly implying they are like the Heretics from Halo 2.
 * Complaining About Complaining: Loyalist fans hot in the collar since E3 2011.
 * The Woobie: Both Cortana and John 117. None of them seem to get their deserved break (Cortana is give or take) after all that has happened. I suppose a short cryo sleep is better than no sleep.
 * Depends on your view of "short"; they've been drifting for four years now.
