*<s>{{Support}} — Well I guess I can indulge in some ego stroking at least once in awhile. :) Though my only concern about a pre-release Featured Article status are the dips in quality that comes when the game launches. Typically, it takes a month or two before a game page mellows out after its released and I fear that such award, while entirely deserving at the moment, may not be up to our expectations come this fall. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}</s> | |||

*{{Oppose}} - Character development in SpartanOps renders it impossible for the nominated article to be considered. It would fail in the immediate category, "Information", where not everything is properly sourced and is open to being altered subject to SpartanOps' episodes. Until the subject's development is stable, I don't think it is suitable. On top of that, the gallery can be shortened by using the [[Template:Linkbox|Linkbox template]] and moving the less relevant images into a category (like how we did with other articles). One minor issue is the referencing issue, basically not following the proper format. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span> 23:35, 28 January 2013 (EST) | |||

'''Reason''': A well-written article with appropriately-named headings, suitable amount of images, and correct references/sources.

All information are sourced with certainty with no questions marks in the Sources section. Last but not least, there hasn't been any new info on the Composer in newer media (like ''Spartan Ops''), so information about the Composer is like when the Composer itself is onboard ''Ivanoff Station'': in a stable state. —<span style="font-family: Eurostile;">'''[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:#000;">SPARTAN</span>]][[User talk:Spartan331|<span style="color:#888;">331</span>]]'''</span> 11:18, 12 February 2013 (EST) | |||

*{{Oppose}} - It's got all the relevant information on the Composer, but the article strikes me as fairly squished otherwise considering it's got only two sections.

:I honestly it wasn't all that bad a game, Grizzlei. In fact, I might say it was a little bit better than ''Halo: Reach''. Not a bad start for 343 Industries, if you ask me. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 13:41, 5 March 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330 | |||
::Splendid. I myself believed it to be a half-assed experiment in how you can best alienate hardcore fans. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}} | |||
::Xamikaze330, I don't think its better than Reach at all and I do believe it is a bad start - in the wrong direction. Reach maintained those core properties that made a Halo game while H4 threw them out the window. Yes I like & play the game but that's just because. However, in the back of my mind I'm always thinking they [343i] could have done better. [http://shadowofthevoid.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/review-halo-4/ Read this review all the way through] and you may see for yourself how bad 343i messed up.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 05:15, 6 March 2013 (EST) | |||
:::Well, I did say it was a ''little bit'' better than ''Halo: Reach'', like 15-25% better. But I didn't say it was all the way 100% better. There are still many things I wish 343i hadn't done, like for example, not include Theater and Pan Cam modes, or like killing Cortana off. So, in a way, I do and I don't agree on all or some points. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 11:43, 6 March 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330 | |||
::::That was just my personal opinion in regardes to H4 & Reach. The main thing with 343i is that they did too much at the same time got lazy. They added things to Halo that are un-Halo-like, and cut fun features from the previous games. There was a reason for cutting theater but in true honestly, they had 3 years to figure it out rather than waste time retconing grunts. I just hope 343i learns from their mistakes w/ Halo 5. Otherwise...Destiny awaits.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 12:22, 6 March 2013 (EST) | |||
::::Indeed. I do agree on both points. We all have our own opinions. I did forget to mention another thing I didn't like about ''Halo 4'' is in the mission campaign level Midnight, in the beginning the player is stuck piloting an F-41 Broadsword starfighter (which is a little nice), but instead on focusing on destroying enemy ships or even enemy weapons emplacements, the player has to focus more on evading obstacles than shooting anything. That's just another I hate. Long Night of Solace was by far more enjoyable. And I prefer New Alexandria over Shutdown, for some odd reason, even though it is nice to finally pilot a Pelican Gunship without the need for glitching. But like I said, we all have our own opinions. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 12:39, 6 March 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330 | |||
:::::I pretty much memorized almost every campaign skip in Halo 4 (except Infinity) and don't even bother going through the missions normally anymore. Midnight, F the obstacles - I exit the playable boundary and fly straight to the composer. As for Shutdown- I fly straight to the third tower. Haven't stepped foot in tower 1 & 2 eversince.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 12:59, 6 March 2013 (EST) | |||
