Is anyone having trouble with their account balance on the Store? On my computer it says I have £5.39, but on the Store it says I don't have any... Also, the add funds box on the checkout is shaded out. I'm too scared to buy a gift card or to add more money onto the account in case it doesn't work. Bit annoying considering I wanted to buy Modnation Racers for tomorrow since my friend is coming round and I want to play a racing game other than Mario Kart with him...

I'd ask why, but I think we have different opinions of Halo in general.
Halo 4 would be awesome if I hadn't already played this game a few hundred times before.
Oh look. Corridor. Oh look. Open area. WOW KILL ALIEN THINGS. Oh look. Warthog. Oh look. Another open area.
Throw in a generic Sci-Fi plot into a generic (albiet technically brilliant) FPS and what do you get? Halo 4.
HOORAY FOR INNOVATION.
It amazes me that so many gamers have a cry about how little games change, but they're quite content to play the exact same formula over and over again when it comes to FPSers.
My only conclusion is that too many people are fooled by pretty graphics that they haven't seen before. They think they're playing a new game, but it's a kind of weird hypnotism that way too many people seem to fall for.
I prefer variation within a formula, rather than the formula itself changing. Hence why I can play FPSes and Fighting games, and most RPG series for that matter. If it worked the first time, usually it's because it's a good thing. I don't see why more of a good thing would be bad.

It's when you've played the same damn game for the 50th time in a single year, and just about every big-budget game uses that same formula, that there's a problem.
If I'm playing a game years in the making, and a game that cost a hundred million to make, I want to play a game that doesn't, within literally one minute, tell me "hey you know that game you played a decade ago? Here we go again."
Seriously. If you've played Halo, you've played this game. Your $60 or whatever is going towards a few new maps and a handful of new enemies (that behave like the last enemies more or less anyway).
@WhiteKnight Don't get me wrong, I can understand where he's coming from - Halo 3 was indeed a glorified expansion pack with obviously little effort in its singleplayer (Mostly bland singleplayer maps, poor AI, very few new weapons (if any), very few new enemies, and a secondary item system that works better in Multi than single). However, from what I've seen of Halo 4, it seems to be much better about that. New weapons, new enemies, maps that seem to have some amount of thought put into them, better AI - I think that alone will satisfy me.
Unlike the original game, the fact that this includes a demo of some Metal Gear game did not influence my purchase at all. Probably because unlike MGS2, MGR does not look interesting to me. Oh well, I guess they cluttered up the box art (advertising the MGR demo) just for good old times.
