I feel that this pivot point was more focused on Halo 4 when 343i took over the Halo reigns. As a Halo fan since day one, I think Halo 4 was actually the best thing to happen to the series. Not everyone agrees with me, but sales figures do. I love bungie, but it feels like they were getting stale with Halo and had lost sight of it...almost like they were too close to it...offering it to 343i gave a fresh new perspective from a fan point of view (same reason that I'm happy JJ Abrhams and Disney are doing Star Wars now).
IMO Halo 4 is probably the best in the series, and Halo is in great hands with 343i, now as gamers we win because we get a refreshed Halo AND Bungie has moved on and renewed their passion with Destiny...it worked out best for everyone.
Imo i felt the story was amazing in halo 4 but the multiplayer was lacking with what made halos multiplayer so great. But I'm definitely not worried with halo 5's multiplayer because 343 has hired the right people to make the multiplayer great again.
I think if there's one thing 343 has over Bungie its art design, Halo 4 is an amazing looking game. I think they got some of the guys from Metroid Prime's team to do art and it shows.
If you think Halo 4 multiplayer is lacking go back and play Halo 3, and Tell me if you think it's slow play style would hold up well right now. I don't. Halo 4 Multiplayer was essentially a refined Reach which I thought was superior to the old MP. The single player campaign is perhaps the best in the series, right next to CE, and the heavily underrated ODST.
