Yea I've been checking out a lot of the "before and after" screen shots and it does look pretty promising. The game should be on the top list of mine to get for Christmas.
Halo 4 won't be made by Bungie though, I suggest waiting to read the reviews before buying. It comes out in about a year though, so no need to worry now.
First, you are spamming, you filthy peasant. Second, this is a Halo thread, not a Call of Duty thread. Two reasons for you to leave now. Third, Halo has always had better custom game options, a better storyline, a map maker option, Forge (Which CoD obviously doesn't have), and its multiplayer is just as good as CoD's.
On the topic of Halo CEA, I'm probably going to get it during the holidays, and it will be my excuse to get back on Halo: Reach, which I have been avoiding for a few months. The new maps seem pretty cool. I never beat Halo: CE, so this game will be a magnificent experience for me.
