At the end of Halo 4's campaign, after the credits have rolled, 343 Industries posts a short message thanking fans for trusting the company with their beloved universe and asking us to remember that this is just a first step. It's a telling memo that reveals a certain nervousness about the task at hand: a plea that we understand the weight of responsibility these creators have felt in adopting Master Chief.
They can rest easy. Halo 4 is authentic, and assures 343's role is more than a mere tribute act. Their delicate yet sprawling work may be more continuation than true expansion - and perhaps the true test comes in the next step - but for now, Halo returns with a bang, not a whimper.

Still, if there’s work to be done with the multiplayer then Halo 4’s campaign, and thus the series’ overall sense of purpose, is back on track. Perhaps resolving just one problem at a time is the most we can expect. 343 Industries has certainly done that; Halo 4 isn’t a reinvention so much as a recalibration, a common-sense repair to a drifting narrative, with a hero who is now back in play and back at his best. Halo 4’s biggest victory is that it gives us Master Chief back.
Halo 4 is every bit the massive shooter package that its predecessors were, and it holds the series' standard high. The thrilling and emotional return of Master Chief and Cortana is the highlight, and the campaign breaks new ground in narrative quality for the franchise. The top-notch competitive multiplayer picks up where Halo: Reach left off, infusing the action with some mainstream elements while still remaining undeniably unique. Spartan Ops may stay a mere sideshow or prove its worth in the weeks to come, but there's no doubting that the next planned Halo trilogy is off to a great start. 343 Industries should be proud of what it has accomplished, and you should be excited to experience it for yourself.
Whether I am watching a grenade explode a Promethean into a shower of sparks or charging with friends at my side through a cooperative adventure, Halo 4 makes the series feel new again. 343 Industries’ clear affection for the property shines through, leaving me thrilled to join Master Chief for another decade in defense of the galaxy
Ο τίτλος είναι μία δουλειά με μεράκι και πάθος, που από τα μενού, μέχρι τα credits, «μυρίζει» ποιότητα και χρήμα –δεν είναι τυχαία η πιο ακριβή παραγωγή της Microsoft. Είναι μία δημιουργία που αφενός σέβεται το παρελθόν και την ιστορία του Halo franchise, αφετέρου έχει όλα τα στοιχεία για να ξεχωρίσει.
Η 343 Industries, η οποία στο τέλος του παιχνιδιού ευχαριστεί τους fans που την εμπιστεύτηκαν σε αυτό το ρόλο, αξίζει πολλά συγχαρητήρια, γιατί πήρε ένα από τα μεγαλύτερα και σημαντικότερα franchises της σύγχρονης gaming βιομηχανίας και, όπως όλα δείχνουν, θα το κάνει ακόμη μεγαλύτερο

After soaking in the new game, I am beyond thrilled to be so in love with Halo again, more than I’ve been since Halo 2. Halo 4 is a masterstroke everyone can and should celebrate, and its two guaranteed sequels instantly make the next-generation Xbox a must-own system, with Halo 5 its most anticipated title. Halo has been rebuilt. It has been redefined. And it has been reinvigorated. The Xbox’s original king has returned to his rightful place on the throne.
