Halo 4 is a somewhat divisive game among the fan base. Released in 2012, this was the first complete effort from new studio 343i after being handed control of the franchise, and I find it still captures the adventurous spirit of the games that came before it, only really missing the mark with a few gameplay elements (quick time events, messy AI for the promethean enemies) and the Forerunner design not flowing as well as it did in earlier games. It’s a deeper dive into lore, and a more personal story that most didn’t see coming, and the multiplayer feels a little too inspired by call of duty (fun, but it’s not Halo), so o c can understand why some are turned off by it. The soundtrack from Neil Davidge is one of the more interesting factors in it. While still true to the aesthetic of he universe, it feels far more inspired by late 20th century science fiction and electronica, which gives it a unique identity that really fits the game. Available to play on Xbox 360 and One (via MCC), soundtrack available on iTunes and Spotify. This arm/back/core session was good, surprised by the energy level this late in the week to be honest. #gym #health #fitness #fit #beard #ink #tattoos #thursday #armday #backday #coreday #comewithmeifyouwanttolift #irontherapy #halo #halo4 #soundtrack #neildavidge #xbox360 #xboxone #xbox #microsoft #orchestra #electronic #2012 #itunes #spotify
