In Halo's defense, many many others sites gave it a very high score, so its not just IGN.
Reviewers are people, and reviews are just opinions; they are allowed to think a game is nearly perfect or completely perfect. People say perfection is impossible, but it isn't, its just subjective.
From what I hear, Halo 4 has a very good campaign with a good story, great gameplay that people really enjoy, multiplayer with lots of content that people really enjoy with lots of content, and an episodic co-op story with many seasons of weekly episodic missions. Microsoft spent so much on this game, the production value is tremendous. The very high score doesn't seem unwarranted.
I'm not a Halo player, and I don't have or want a Xbox360.

About Dust, I don't think it has a chance against the high profile shooters like Halo 4 and BO2 when it comes to reviews, but its free, lots of depth, decent gameplay (I enjoy it more than most shooters); people will download it and play it, and it could get more players then both BO2 and Halo 4 combined. I think Dust will at least do ok in the reviews.

Again, you are comparing Halo which is a completed game that has been iterated multiple times since it's initial release back in 2004 and has been backed by a multi billion-dollar company like Microsoft (who is just as powerful as Apple) that has been around since the age of the FIRST WINDOWS OS in computer history to Dust 514 which has not even finished closed beta yet being created by CCP which is a small Icelandic company in a country whose total population is less than that of its subscriber base for Eve Online and doesn't have much money compared to the big boys.

Your point is MOOT!!!!!

If it were, at least the open beta then I would start to worry. Why compare it to ahlo and cod. Dust is a game on its own merits....most of the things we complain about are details that we are used to in other games like COD, MAG, BF3, Halo, etc. That means we are trying to replicate those games...... The gameplay in dust is not the worst I've played. If movements were faster, lag/freezing reduced, and had more players (because of large maps), this game would be a good game. I believe they will fix lag (this is still the beta) and they said they're going to implement more players. So, basically the movements are up for question. And sure, they have made some things more OP but I am confident that they'll get the right balance out. But whiners will be whiners. Some guys get arroused by posting negative threads like this, it seems. They did the same in MAG, it is embedded in their core and they will never change. The better way about improving a game is constructive and respectful criticism and opinions. But saying a game blows and will never be average is exteme and lolable when those same guys return to the forum anyway. If dust sucks that bad then go to the BO2 and halo forums and suck kitten there. (An irritated ydubbs rant)

Your point is MOOT!!!!! Well, to be fair.....the public isn't going to care why a game is substandard (not saying that dust is). Its a game released to the same gamers that play halo. So, whether halo has 10x the budget of dust....ccp better squeeze the best quality in there. Because production budgets aren't going to be a factor. Noone is going to say, "well, ok...I'll play it since their budget was lower than halo's"
