I honestly would say that its the best in the series. Graphically its a no-brainer. As far as story telling goes, it far exceeds the previous Halo games. You can argue about the content of the story itself, but you can't really argue that the storytelling in Halo 4 is the best in the series. It introduced several new sandbox pieces (weapons, vehicles, enemies) that are actually going to stick unlike many of the additions after Halo: CE. The sense of "wonder" that has been lacking since the original game is back and better than ever. Although Marty composed some really great stuff, I would argue that Halo 4's soundtrack is the best of the series as a whole. Multiplayer is probably the most balanced a Halo game's has ever been. Spartan Ops is the first time the series has had a co-op mode that gives people reason to keep playing its dedicated co-op mode. I would also personally add that as far as atmosphere and tone go, Halo 4 is the best in the franchise and that the game's campaign is the best in the franchise. That part is my opinion but I would agree that Halo 4 is the best entry in the franchise whether Frankie and 343 meant to say that or not.
If you played all the Halo games for the first time right now, it's no question that Halo 4 is easily the best one.

OMFG Pretty + pretty amazing audio effects + perfect movement and aiming + solid netcode would be my guess....why? Because it's the prettiest?

It's not a quote. It's butchered.
"But there were things that went astonishingly well - the creation of a genuinely competitive AAA studio chief among them. A collection of talent and souls that can do something genuinely amazing on this and next-generation hardware. [...]"
I honestly didn't even think of FUD as part of the marketing campaign, but now that you mention it, it was a pretty great way to gain hype for the game.I'd say it was the best part of the whole launch. I've enjoyed Forward Unto Dawn (which I'm pretty sure is what he's referring to as innovative) more than the game itself.
It's a huge fucking misquote if the original comment was "best- and fastest-selling" and transcribed incorrectly.
Also, the game is bad.
I updated the title to try and make it as reflective of the quote as possible.
I apologize for any deficiencies, there's very little room.
Never played it, but I think such a statement looks poor on them. Considering fan's reception to the game, average scores etc
Still, it's a kick ass game from what I understand.
Best Halo ever, I'm so glad Bungie left they were holding the IP down. Halo CE was a fluke. Bungie is an awful dev.

Halo 4 is by far the best Halo game imo. I enjoyed the sp, I thought the story was interesting and the new enemies and weapons were great. The mp is fucking amazing. Adding ordinance drops has improved it so much, and all the specializations and armor abilities are really fun to use. If they could just fix matchmaking so it doesnt take so long it would be perfect. 343 is a much better developer then Bungie ever was and I never thought I would be saying that before Halo 4 came out.

I don't think it looks poor on them at all. It's quite common for people to be proud of their work. If he acted as though the game was perfect and they haven't made any mistakes, I would agree that it looks poor on them.

It looks poor to say it was the best game. To me at least.
holy fucking shit.
Best soundtrack, storytelling and i'd even say characters(though the rookie kinda sucks)I really should get around to buying ODST.
ODST > CEA > 3 > 4 > 2 > Reach.
Hmm...

Do it.
