So is Halo 4's multiplayer worth $59 for LIVE?

Coming from a massive Halo fan- I'll have to say no. Halo 4 just didn't have that same spark to it that kept me playing Halo 3 and Halo: Reach for so many hours a day.
It is a great game, no doubt- but it just doesn't have the same feel if you're an older Halo fan. If you really want to, then go for it.

[/QUOTE] I thought Reach was even lackluster for some reason. It was still a good game, but it just didn't stack up to H2 and H3. I have to believe it has something to do with them taking away the 1-50 ranked playlists.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.
- Halo 4's population is very low, halo 3 used to have 500k people a year after release halo 4 is under 75k right now think about that. Reach murdered the online with its many downfalls

Not for Halo 4 by itself. However, if you got Forza 4, any Gears of War game, Left 4 Dead 2, COD/Battlefield and want to play them online and you can find a discounted membership, yeah, it would be worth it.

It comes with a 2 week live code. Use that and play it for a bit and see what you think.

This. Also there is NEVER a reason to pay $59 for Live. There are constantly deals happening when you can get it for $35-$40. Shop around. As for Halo 4, the MP is amazing.
[/QUOTE] Yes, this! When I'm a few months away from the end of my XBL expiring, I check Amazon once in a while and it's frequently available under $50, sometimes $40-45. NEVER give MS your credit card info for an automatically resubscribing XBL account!!- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

Reach murdered the online with its many downfalls [/QUOTE] Halo 4 competes with COD, Battlefield, and other addicting online multiplayer games which are much better quality and variety now compared to Halo 3's time. COD4 was much lesser beast and the market wasn't oversaturated with online multiplayer monsters. Halo 4's numbers are more indicative of the quality and quantity of competition for a gamer's time and attention nowadays than it is indicative of a lack of quality - Halo 4 is an incredible game online.
It may have some balance issues, but those are being ironed out as MLG and Slayer Pro settings are tweaked and perfected - I expect the population to surge when official competitive settings are released and the playlist rotation is finalized. In the meantime, infinity slayer and the dozen other available playlists never cease to provide me with a great time.
Besides, I never have issues finding a game in my preferred playlists, so the limited population doesn't negatively affect me at all now, and I doubt it will anytime soon.

The answer to this question is obvious. Yes...yes it is worth it but you shouldn't pay that much for it. Like it's been stated already you can easily find 12 months live at a discount price. As for all the people complaining about Halo's dwindling community get over youselves. Halo 4 is one of the few games where I can always find a game in any playlists regardles of the time of day or night. That may not be the 500k of old but it's pretty darn good.
Oh yeah, and all the advertisments that are "forced down your throat" equate to a couple of images in the main dashboard that you have to look at for 2 seconds while you press the green button and your games loads. You might as well complain about billboards on the street and commercials on TV. They're there so just deal with it.

Nope, that never happened
Halo 4 is the third most played game on Xbox Live
