Well, on this occasion, I want to share a review about one of the game series from HALO. So, don't go anywhere, before you read this review to complete.

DESCRIPTION

Halo 4 is a first-person shooter game, developed by 343 Industries and published by Microsoft Studios, for the Xbox 360 console released in November of 2012. And the story of Halo 4 itself, will follow a cybernet-enhanced human supersoldier, Master Chief, and build Cortana. Because they face an unexpected threat while exploring the ancient planetary civilization.

MASTER CHIEF

PLOT

The story begins, four years after the Halo 3 incident occurred, where UNSC Forward To Dawn was stranded on the planet Requiem from the ruined ring. Cortana, an AI who always faithfully accompanied the Master Chief, woke Chief from his deep sleep, just before the postwar troops boarded their ship. After they successfully paralyze the postwar troops, Chief and Cortana explore Requiem, to fight the Covenant and a new alien species called "Promethean". Meanwhile, when he arrived there, Cortana said, if he was exhausted and his mental state was declining, perhaps because of his growing age, so he thought about his death. Seeing the condition of Cortana, Chief promised to take him back to Earth, and met his creator, Doctor Catherine Halsey, to help restore his condition.

For that, Chief trying to find a way out of the planet. However, in the middle of his journey, accidentally unexpectedly Chief has released Didact, an ancient Forerunner soldier from his prison. Didact soon took over Prometheans and Covenant, and immediately attacked them. Considering Chief could not possibly be able to face them all, he immediately contacted the UNSC Infinity ship to help him overcome the attack being launched by Didact. Soon the aid arrived, Chief and Cortana asked the infinity crew to attack Didact. Then, as they lack strength, captain Infinity Del Rio, ordered them to destroy gravity in order for their ship to escape. After the gravity well was destroyed, the captain Del Rio ordered to retreat and return to Earth.

However, the Master Chief did not obey the order to retreat and still wanted to fight Didact. For that, Infinity chief executive commander Lasky, gave him an armed transport vehicle in the hope that he was lucky. Then, Chief and Cortana tried to sabotage the Didact ship before they left. But unfortunately, their plan did not succes. While on the other hand, the composer has been moved from the ring to the Ivanoff Research Station, but unconsciously the Covenant attacked them. Chief defended Ivanoff, but Didact instead took the Composer and used it at the station, to change the fighter under his command, into a Promethean Knights that would be immune to infection.

GAMEPLAY

For gameplay, not much different from the previous series, where you will still play Master Chief, who is able to adapt in various situations. The game's core is still the same, where you have to kill every alien who appears before you, swapping your weapons as often as possible, and take cover when your shield gets hit by enemy fire. However, with a fairly new storyline, you have to focus on Forerunners and Prometheans, and need the right strategy to resolve every conflict. Because on HALO 4, conflicts that occur differ from the conflicts you find in the previous series. Where, here you will be faced with new enemies who have never been present in this universe before. The Convenant is still going to be present in this series, coming with characteristics, weapons, and weaknesses that are not much different.

One thing you should notice is that the Prometheans will emerge as a new race to disrupt your journey. Because, this creature is much different from the Covenant that only rely on shieldnya to survive. Prometheans are smarter than Covenant and have more unique capabilities as well. Then, here in addition to the shield, Knights also rely on his ability to teleport when in a threatened and critical position. And the best way to defeat him is to do a reload of your weapon first, then make sure if your magazine is full, if both of you have done, then immediately vomit all the bullets that are towards him and make sure he is destroyed before successfully doing it. Because Knights do provide the greatest threat among all the existing Prometheans.

In addition, Knight also not only has the ability teleportation, but he also has some other equipment on his body, either to attack you or to protect him. Knight has a sentry that he can form to shoot you automatically by launching a laser. Then, he can also launch a small plane, which can act as a shield when needed. The aircraft is also able to revive Knight, even if it is already falling apart. Therefore, this will be a mandatory thing that requires you, to first destroy it, before you try to hunt other types of Prometheans. With the presence of new variants and species on the enemy side, it means there will be more new weapons you can use. Almost similar to the Covenant's weapons, the weapons carried by Prometheans are also divided into several classes, which distinguishes only the way in which the bullets slide and how to reloading it.

If the Convenant weapon requires you to throw it away, while Promotheans is not much different from UNSC weapons you can use repeatedly. And not only that, some new strengths can also be used for Chief that you can get along the battle. Because, a battle with a new enemy like Prometheans, it will surely demand that Chief apply a much more practical technology. You can also build an auto-centry like Knights you meet, or use Jetpack to reach high places instantly. Finally, any new threat coming from the Prometheans will force you to strengthen your defense. For that, in this series of games, the same as the previous series, where you can still use some war vehicles such as Warthog, Scorpion Tank, Pelican, Ghost, and Banshee, to destroy the aliens. And not only that, you will also find a new super massive vehicle that is Mammoth. Even if you can not use it directly, at least in the presence of Mammoth, makes the sensation of war very tense.

CONCLUSION

In my opinion, the Developer has managed to raise back the story of Master Chief who has been declared dead in the battle in the last series. Not only that, Industries also managed to inject a solid story foundation for a new trilogy for Chief. Where in this series, the new world that is represented by Requiem, The Forerunners revival, as well as the amazing story of Cortana, has answered all the curiosity of the players.
