Nintendo has Mario, Sony has Nathan Drake, and Microsoft has Master Chief. The Halo franchise has been one of the most consistent FPS franchises in history, and totally exclusive to windows platforms only. Halo 4 is a direct follow up to Halo 3, set four years afterwards. The game is primarily set on a forerunner planet, and sees the Covenant forces returning as enemies. Although it featured similar gameplay to its predecessors, Halo 4 introduced a number of welcome additions, such as armour abilities and Promethean vision. Above all, Halo 4 managed to bring the series' online multiplayer back to form after the disappointing Halo: Reach. Crammed full of content, such as the competitive Capture the Flag and Oddball modes, as well as the co-operative Spartan Ops, Halo 4 is one of the best multiplayer experiences available on the 360.
