TrueGamingTv Haven't gotten to try Halo 4 yet, I started playing Reach
Reach's multiplayer isn't even that good. Campaign is great but not multi. Get Haloooo 4.

Nin I am so excited for the next halo game.
But it was bungie that did the work
They built 4 Halo Games. Yes they started the Halo series but 343 has now taken it over and already created 2 and working on a 3rd halo game. I think 343 surpassed Bungie a while ago with Halo 4 coming out and being one of the most epic games. Also don't forget that 343 is made up of a bunch of Bungie members

I hope they don't rush the next one. They need to take their time and listen to the community.
