As for multiplayer, 343 opted to incorporate more modern systems from games like Call of Duty such as customizable loadouts and killstreaks that granted power weapons. Halo 4's campaign has plenty of great moments, but the game relies too much on convoluted cutscenes and external material to keep its plot enjoyable for casual Halo fans. It was fitting for the story 343 were trying to tell, but they presented themselves as uninspired cannon fodder in combat. The Covenant took a back seat in this installment, giving way to the Promethean faction. 343 Industries created this installment instead of Bungie, leading to many strange design changes that alienated fans. Halo 4 is the strangest game in The Master Chief Collection.
