I like GB a lot and find their Quick Looks very useful(also often quite funny), but sometimes I feel they should stick to humurous features only.
This piece was very poorly written IMO. Jeff spends 80% of the review describing the game's features rather than expressing his thoughts on them, putting weird comments in the middle;
''They don't feel like they fill any real need or plug into any gaps in the existing Halo arsenal. They're just more ways to do the same thing."
Just more ways to do what, shoot people? Really?
"Thankfully, the Chief has some more movement options to keep the game running at a solid pace.
[...]
Being able to sprint without having to equip that as your armor ability is terrific.
[...]
The multiplayer side of Halo 4 brings in those new weapons and movement changes, so you can sprint there, as well. "
It's clear he never liked the pace in Halo at all.
"Maybe that's on me for wanting Halo to be something other than Halo,"
That says a lot indeed.
It's like when he felt he had described enough, he suddenly remembers he should talk about points like presentantion, even though he simplys calls it "quite nice". Why even bother mentioning it, then?
It'd be easy to sum up the review, and a better MC text is: "It looks better and you can sprint, but this had a lot of potential to be something other than Halo, which, unfortunately, it isn't."
