Are you hyped about this?
I always sucked at halo
>>214996523Netflix subscribers don't know how bad it is.
>>214996523i couldnt even get through the first season, its pretty bad
>>214996523I haven't been hyped about a new show or film in 5 years but more like 10
mostly curious if they can somehow do halo worse than paramount.
No. Most things done during 343 era should be considered defamation.
>>214996575me too I avoid playing online because of that :(
>>214996726It's Netflix. They will find a way.
>>214996726The Cortana cucking scene will be hard to top
it probably will pick up steam. no one wanted to get paramount
>locke is going to give chief the TLOU treatment (gay sex, not caving his skull in)
>>214996575I was ungodly good. Top of the leaderboard for halo 3 and reach>Bought the collection a few years back and go into a death match >couldn't hit anything >whole team yelling at me for being shit>cut Xbox off out of shame>realized I ain’t got it no more
>>214996523Imagine, Paramount was aiming for something solid at leastand now they’re downgrading to Netflix. It’ll be deliberate slop to claw back the money they wasted, for sure
are netflix making more of it, or is it just the old episodes doing well on it because they have 100x the subscribers paramount did?
>>214996737It shit the bed at 2 in my opinion. Campaign was just un-fun to play, I would have been happy with more CE levels and not the slop we got. Story was told terribly because the game was rushed. All the detailed world building of the story is in books, which are pretty good, but the story should be in the games.
>>214996523>twttier screencap threadTo complement your shitpost, here is a screencap of a Reddit post of a 4cha post of a Twitter post,A shitpost turducken.
>>214996523There were three nude ass shots in the first season. Why does Halo need any?
Someone post the meme where they call the protagonist "Halo"
>>214996523>no Clint Eastwood lone gunman character for master chief where he keeps his helmet on and there’s mystery and aura to him
>>214996523No. I wish you and everyone like you wss dead.
>>214996523>8.8 Imdb rating on Reach epsiode>same rating as Breaking Bad's "Peekaboo">Higher than Dexter's "Circle of Friends">Higher than almost half of The Sopranos episodesMaybe judaism is right & most people are in fact, cattle
I turned it off as soon as I saw people using AKs 500 years into the future.
>>214997446Isn't there a 2004 truck in the background somewhere too
>>214997446I never even gave it a shot in the first place, so I don't actually know, but wasn't the entire show originally meant to be something unrelated to Halo entirely, and they just slapped the Halo name on it at the last minute, and just adjusted the plot to fit Halo?To play devil's advocate for that scene that I haven't seen: If there was one type of modern firearm that I would believe survives into the future, it would be the AK platform. It falls into that "perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to remove" category.
>>214997538>but wasn't the entire show originally meant to be something unrelated to Halo entirely, and they just slapped the Halo name on it at the last minute, and just adjusted the plot to fit Halo?Probably. The writers admitted none of them have played any of the games, or know anything about the lore.
>>214997575Imagine how amazing a Halo show would have been in 2010.
>>214996602>its pretty badThat's an understatement. But what can you expect from writers who refused to even play the games.
I haven’t been hyped about Halo media since Neill Blomkamp made that short film about the ODST fighting brutes in a wrecked industrial complex.
>>214996575and halo always sucked
>>214996523>Mysterious halo tv threads on /v/ and /tv/ and then later an announcement for a new season of this shitI wish you shills could at least be subtle
>>214997841>on /v/go back
Halo Landfall is a hundred times better than the abortion that is the Halo tv-showhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyOAdrxlPVs
>>214997736cause you were bad at itshitter ass nigger
Paramount: I have a dumpster that's on fire for sale.Netflix: On fire, you say?
>>214996523literally how hard can it be to make a decent halo adaptation without fucking it up with politics or excessive drama, the side chick is literally meant to be cortana, you don't need trannies or female romance self inserts.just chief and his girl against the world, halo 4 even managed to do this
>>214996523How does this get shit on by everyone, cancelled, and still become “one of the most popular shows?” Either they are lying about their numbers or people who still have netflix are just the worst. I’m leaning towards both.
>>214997464Yes lmao. A Chevy Tahoe from between 2001 and 2006.The showrunners addressed it and acted like >We promise, it's there for a reason and will be explained somehow! It's not just an oversight!They never explained it.
>>214996575Haheyhaheyhahey you suck!!1 yuo can't play!!1!one!
>>214998334Some people might enjoy how weird it gets and find that it has a "so bad it's good" quality. As a huge Halo fan, I think it's a terrible show and offensive to the source material, yet I still wish it got at least one more season on the ring to cap things off
>>214998502
I didn't hate it as much as you people because Kate Kennedy is a cute.
I only played the first Halo it was a random purchase, soundtrack was amazing. I don´t like shooters much tho
i want the big girl halo to sit on my face
>>214996575>dominate friends in every other console game. shooter or otherwise >cannot beat then at halo>UNTIL the pc release of the mccThe Xbox controller sucks fat cock.
>>214999646Problem is she probably weighs around 400 pounds and would crush your skull
>>214998502There is nothing funnier than halofags acting like halo isn’t utter garbage. You got a show that looks as bad as the games did to non-faggots and screeched endlessly
>>214999768The auto-aim scheme of halo was built around people who are shitty at video games. If you actually try to aim it fights you.
>>214998629>Kate Kennedy is a cute.not really
>>214996523Nothing from that tweet suggests the show is being revived. It's saying the show is popular because it's on Netflix. I hate brown people.
>>214999837Makes sense considering the MCC PC release turned to shit once controller shitters realized the auto aim beat mouse 9/10 and they killed their own game.
>>214996523the only Halo adaptation I ever cared about is Arby n Chief
>>214999837Halo also handles its aim assist differently than most other console shooters, where it's tuned differently for each gun and plays a role in the handling.If the aim assist was removed entirely or was the same across the board, then for example the AR and Plasma Rifle wouldn't feel as distinct from one another
>>214999999
>>214996523I haven't been hyped about anything for a long time.In my life, I have seen everything I loved and enjoyed, deconstructed, pulled apart and subverted on an ideological and philosophical basis. Not even franchises. I don't believe in anything. Nothing will get better. I have passive suicidal ideation every day, and recklessly step into crosswalks with oncoming traffic as if to dare god into rendering his judgment upon me. This... "series" existence is proof that God does not exist.
>>214999969>you've just caught me sitting down to drink from these cups of delicious semen because of how ludicrously gay I am. >would you care to join me? I'd be more than happy to share some of this semen with you. >not too much, though I did collect all of this semen myself after all hAhaHAhaha. >and what gentlemen they were, all tickled pink to donate their semen. >semen semen semen semen.
imagine being in the position to make a halo show and your job is to make a halo show and then you don't make a halo show
>>214996599I liked it but that ending was leading up to something that made no sense. Why would Master Chief be some special person who can access and control the artifact in order to have access to forerunner technology?
>>214997081>why aren’t men obsessed with women in a world where looking at a woman wrong will get you arrested for rape and blacklisted from all jobs
>>214996523Uh, because most Netflix subscribers were not on Paramount+ and were curious about this big media property. What a stupid fucking journalist.
>slop has found a new trough powerful
Paramount didn't even want to keep hosting it and just gave it to Netflix to stream just cuz?
>>214996523>Main character is happa commie dyke>Master Chief not only takes off his helmet but gets naked and cries
>>215000169The games have also toyed with and set up the notion of Chief being some sort of "chosen one" with a status or abilities that other Spartans lack... but they haven't really explored or explained it yet. So maybe the show was trying to have the same mystery box which may or may not be opened at some point
>>215000169Flanderization of a character they fundamentally don't understand. He's also one of the most simple characters there is, if you're trying to understand you're already doing it wrongWhich is exactly what they do. Let's explore the chiefNo you fucks he's a dude and he kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything. simple as.
>>214997538No, not at all. This was always a Microsoft-sponsored project that was originally going to be produced by Steven Spielberg. Remember, Forward unto Dawn had come out in 2012 and Nightfall was wrapping up production. Both those series were written with the idea that people who had never played Halo and knew nothing about it should be able to watch these and enjoy it without catching all the references.For whatever reason, 343 was not happy with what Spielberg was cooking and the project was sent over to Showtime and then to Paramount. Paramount, struggling for its survival, hired a cheap showrunner who had only made flops and let him run wild with the series because they thought it was a surefire hit. That's where they made stupid decisions like hiring writers who had never played Halo and who skimmed the books and Halopedia to get their ideas.
>>215000533desire to fedpost rising
>>214998334You'll note that the article doesn't talk about watched minutes or viewer ratings.
>>215000533Fucking hell. Well, shit. I wish I was right. At least then they would have had an excuse.
>>215000316>The games have also toyed with and set up the notion of Chief being some sort of "chosen one"Only Halo 4 did this, and that plot point was thrown away in Halo 5 when the writer decided to go back to Bungie to write Mass Effect Andromeda. Which, actually, also has a "Chosen One" narrative forced into it's sci-fi framework.Halo 5 ignored it entirely to focus on the fake conflict between Locke, Chief, and Cortana. And that was written by an ex-Marvel Comics writer. I.e. the bottom of the barrel writer you can get for a professional project. It landed so badly that they fired him and Infinite spent 6 years trying to figure out a story that wouldn't be weighed down by it so 343 picked up the story plots from a fucking RTS spinoff by a failed RTS game studio instead of their own super-special Covenant remnant that they introduced in Halo 4. And Master Chief definitely wasn't a Chosen One in Infinite. He was a fuckup who let his ship be blown up, lost his crew and his AI, twice, and couldn't even figure out the answer to this Halo's mystery.
>>215000689None of that is canon as far as i'm concerned.
>>215000689It's arguably been a mysterious trait of Chief's from the very beginning including the Bungie/Nylund fiction, if you count his somehow being the luckiest Spartan candidate, who can do things like correctly predict coin tosses over and over, and Halsey and Cortana choosing him for this reason
>>215000940Him being lucky isn't >I implanted a geas into your species 2 million years ago, Chosen Onethat we got in Halo 4 though. That's just the usual main character plot armor.
>swiftly becoming one of the streaming services most popular showsWhat do they mean. Is Netflix showing series 1 and 2?
>>215000689H4 story is basically Mission Impossible Halo edition but it's done right with high stakes and Cortana literally dying at the end (including seeing didact literally purging humans in front of chief). It's a good story layout for a movie ngltoo bad it was all unmade by whatever halo 5 was
>you *are* forerunner>but this ring is mineWhat did he mean by this?
>>215000068>I have passive suicidal ideation every day, and recklessly step into crosswalks with oncoming traffic as if to dare god into rendering his judgment upon me.Same
>>215001374CE:>Halo doesn't kill Flood, it kills their food!3:>Then we are agreed, a tactical pulse [from this Halo ring] will completely eradicate the local infestation [of Flood]! What did they mean by this?
>>215001374the original story was that forerunners were the ancient humans but that got retconned for the ancient humans that were wiped out by the jealous forerunners as the precursors "chose" them.
Are you sure this will help us sell pew pew video games?
I would have had a show focus on the marines during the events of Halo, start with the Pillar jumping into the ring area, open with a space battle and marines in corridorsBasically show what they were up to while Chief was doing stuffthen obviously have him show up a few times to save marines and boost marinesa companion pieceIt could have been kino
>>215001675It was supposed to be the other way around, the pre-existing fan and player base of the games would help sell the show. Of course, it would have helped if the show catered to what Halo fans wanted instead of being an affront to them
>>215001697In the book The Flood it basically describes what you're saying, tells the story from the Covenent point of view a bit too, and yeah it's kino
>>214997736I never liked any FPS games with space weapons, to be honest. Just not a huge fan of the genre.
>When you were first given Halo, were you blinded by it's majesty?>Blinded?>Paralyzed? Dumbstruck?>No...>Yet television ads were able to produce kino, with a fraction of the budget and mere minutes of screentime>Surely you understand that once DEI attacked the writers room.. there was nothing I could do
>>214996575as do most of the people who play it. that's why I only play firefight now. don't have to carry retards in pve
>>215002493>were you blinded by it's majesty?Only thing we're blinded by here is your inability to write basic English. Go back to school (if you've ever been there), you're obviously in way over your head here.
>>215001327Also Halo 4's score by Neil Davidge is kino and a worthy successor to Marty's work in the Bungie games. Whereas 5 and Infinite just do remixes and medleys of old classic Halo tracks more than trying to come up with anything new and iconic-sounding of their own
>>214996523>put show on front login screen>every person that uses netflix technically watches it for at least a second>SHITSLOP FUCKDICK IS THE MOST WATCHED SHOW OF THE CENTURYTotal journalist death

>>214996523what was the last good show to come out of netflix?
Great so theyre going to ruin it even more?
>>214996599most netflix subscribers have the shows on in the background while they browse their phones
>>215002835
Literally all they had to do was make like a 2 season gritty kino based off shit like this:https://youtu.be/uWSLHcAyy90?si=1xni-vKZGcWhcnCTAnd would've made 999x more money and been 999x more popular. I'm getting so tired of these fucking slop directors ruining good potential shit.>Hey siri, was the director of the recent halo series Jewish or a woman or nonwhite? I don't even know but I'm going to check right after this, it'll be interesting to see the result
>>215002767What the fuck are you on about lmao
They should jewwashed Sgt. Johnson next. Jon Bernthal's Sarge would be kino.
>>215003420You got Markus Stacker. Use him instead of replacing Johnson.
The second season was OK but in that it was way WAY better than the first. I think a third season would have smoothed out the kinks.
>>215002835Nice ratio
>netflixNo.
>>214996523shit's more like gaylo
>>215001398(((Schreiber)))
>>215001697I would have opened with the Fall of Reach. Very end of it. >Chief and his team barely finishing their mission on the orbital station. >Fred and his team getting left behind>Chief freezes Linda and goes into cryo>rest of episode is cooldown from initial fast paced action>Keyes and Cortana discussing options while in slipspace>Ep 1 ends with a live action version of CE's opening cutscene>"Unseal the hushed casket" *credits* over Installation 04 ominously orbiting Threshold
It's pretty much impossible for any tv show to get wide mainstream viewership if it's not on Netflix. Even memed shows like Severance would get 100x the viewers if it was on Netflix.
>>215001421When the Flood reach a certain level of parasitism, their nervous networks start approximating and operating like those of regular living things. At that stage, using Halo kills all the higher Flood forms, leaving only infection forms and Flood spores behind.
>>215001452It wasn't even retconned. Bungie themselves weren't sure they wanted to go that route, which is why neither Halo 2 nor 3 ever said that in-game. The only thing people hang their hat on is that a draft animatic was once made showing a human skeleton in a Forerunner coffin discovered by the Arbiter from the middle of Halo 2's development cycle. Bungie deliberately kept it obtuse because it's a lot smarter to let your audience speculate as to the nature of the ancient precursors and their relationship to humanity versus the Covenant rather than spell everything out.
>>214996575infinite is full of shitters now if any of ya'll feel like getting back into it. the TTK is still a tad too fast for halo, but its a nice break from other FPSes. and its still fun
>>214996575I beat the first game on legendary solo
>>215001697I would've told the writers to start from where Forward Unto Dawn ended.
>>214996523Unless it's just the flood, since that was the only thing they didn't manage to fuck up, there's no way in hell this is recoverable.
>>215004862How much of the "infinite" content for their single player campaign did they actually add since release?
>>215000940i think guilty spark says some random offhand comments in the library about him - and in the control room in H3, he says "You are the child of my Makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner! But this ring... is mine"and in the "fall of reach" book yeah he wins coin tosses and succeeds at a lot of challenges by being a good leader even though he isn't the strongest or fastest or even smartest spartan. at the start of H3 cortana says he was chosen for luck. everything post-3 isn't canon but i always liked them hinting at chief being some supernatural savior of humanity, which ties in with the covenant's bat shit religious fervor.
>>215000689>and couldn't even figure out the answer to this Halo's mystery.yeah the writers couldn't even figure that one out either. I mean the franchise has been really played out at this point. we already know the halos came from the ark, so where the fuck else could we go? what other secrets are there? thanks to all those books, everything else from the forerunners to the flood has been explored in depth by writers
>>215001697>>215002373i read a good fan-fiction that pretty much has a bunch of marines (who aren't w/ Mckay and co. on the main base) just dicking around and trying to survive generation kill: Halo
>>215003420>>215003534i have a better proposal
>>215004927none lol. they're still adding new shit for MP though, they dropped the covenant carbine a couple months ago
>>215005147That's a damn shame. I feel like they had so much potential with that game, but they just chased the open world trend, and said they fix it in post, but the reception was so bad that they never bothered to actually add anything.
>>215005147>they're still adding new shit for MP though, they dropped the covenant carbine a couple months agoNigga, that's literally the last content they added for MP. They've actually announced that Infinite will not be getting further content updates, that they are killing off the Live Service development, and will be focused on repackaging community-made Forge content and sponsoring smaller tournaments.
>>215005286i dropped infinite because the MP didn't fucking work on launch. when you could get a game the netcode was abhorrent so i rage uninstalled because i was so disgusted with the state of the franchisei got bored with the FPSes i normally play so i reinstalled. once you get over the open world part the campaign's combat is OK, but you have to run around seeking it out. i prefer crafted combat arenas and encounters where you dont have to run around in 10 minutes of nothing to get to the next encounter. MP (at least 4v4) has a metric fuckton of maps now, too. apparently there's 91, but i'd cut that down to 30ish that aren't forge reskins. there's 4 versions of the pit>>215005387oof well at least sloppyfield 6 is coming out lol
>>215005286The actual problem is the code is so fucked up they couldn't add additional open-world content. Same reason why they gave up on split-screen even though it 90% works.
>>214996575You needed to embrace the vehicles.>Be me>Snowbound>Grab a mongoose>Do laps around both bases for the entire duration of the match>Got shot at lots>Don't die>Warthog>22 wheelmansI still tell people I got 22 wheelmans like I was in a war.
>>214996523What's funny is it's #3 on Netflix right now. I opened it just to watch a moment in episode 2 for a review criticism. I may watch at least the first episode, just to see how horrible it is, but no way people are watching it because it's good.
>>215005425one time me and a friend booted up H3 split screen, finally found a game, and got like 2 subsequent running riots on a warthog in sandbox. it was pretty glorious and i guess we must've been playing with speds but regardless we were chewing them up
>>215005466my stepdad is the quintessential streamslop consoomer (i'll go over to their place and he will watch whatever sci fi or fantasy shit is on there). he also has absolutely no taste in media and frequently falls for AI reels, but thats beside the point - he is the target audience for netflix. they'll put shit on because its there
>>215005402I played mp on launch. I only played as much as I did because it was the first game I had played since upgrading from the shitty wifi I was on to a direct fios line, and that shit felt like the best working game in the world to me because of it.Of course though I did get bored with it because I wasn't playing with friends, then the campaign came out, and after being thoroughly disappointed with that, I dropped the game all together. >>215005407You've gotta be shitting me. So the reason they can't add content is their own incompetence? I bet modders could do it, and for free.
>>215005697i couldn't even connect to games for a while. also at the time my internet wasn't the best for FPSes
>>215005697Depends on how much of the game is revealed to the modding API. There are some games I mod where only certain things can be fixed by modders, and the studio's incompetence breaks anything else you try to do.
>>214997446Given that humans are still heavily using conventional firearms in Halo, an AK isn't really out of place.
>>214996523Fuck no. But it's hollywood so my standards were toilet level to begin with.
>>215006008I guarantee you that people will still be using AKs 500 years into our future.
That's it. I'm starting my yearly Halo Pentology playthrough again. After I finish my Turok 3 playthrough.

>>215000068Still gonna jaywalk though?
>>214996523This show got reviewraped by nerds who were angry he took of his helmet but it had its moments and at least he is White. The weird Covenant Human hybrid was cool and whenever they DID fight it was appropriately brutal. There was just a TON of filler. However, season 2 ends insanely awesome and pretty much fulfilled any dreams of seeing Halo action onscreen. It was okay.
>>215006347based order
>>214996523Its funny now that they shrugged off all the nerd stench that normies would end up making this show this huge megahit that ended up finding an audience and they greenlit season 3. Not sure if that will happen but it would be funny.
Halo was good. People were angry because Master Chief removed his helmet, but even Deadpool and Spider-Man constantly take off their masks, or find excuses to show the actor's face.Even The Mandalorian, which was supposed to keep the helmet on, eventually revealed Pedro Pascal’s face as the show grew in popularity. But now, in 2024 and 2025, there's a bit of Pedro Pascal fatigue and maybe Mandalorian won't remove the helmet so much.
>>215006962>>215007417Shills.
>>215006962>>215007417There's little point in having the main character be nominally John-117 when his personality is completely different from Chief in the games. Why not instead center it around some other wholly original character and have THEM take off their helmet and show their face all the time?
The helmet thing is a strawman. The lore changes and everything else is why the show is dogshit.
>>214997446>>214997538>>215006008TO BE FAIRthe canon rifle calibre in Halo is 7.62x51. The same rifle round used by NATO since the 1950s. So there is precedent of tech being in continuous use for 500+ years.
>>215006962he was a ginger in the books iircand while i did like the action scenes, the lore rape and filler kind of ruins the show. I did like chief's team thoughautistic pink hair chick, giga nigga, and angry spic were a pretty decent spartan team
>>215006962>WhiteNo.
>>215007804Pablo is indeed white. >but Jews aren't white!He isn't Jewish. His older half brother Liev is part Jewish, but Pablo was born of the other non-Jewish parent
>>214996523>history of master shit>no ODST master racewasted
>>214996929>top of the leaderboardfake ass lying nigga. there was no leaderboard
>>215007745Not him but making a Halo show that's not about John Halo sounds like a really bad idea. Worse than making a show about John Halo, plus 3 other Spartans, a Korean girl whose dad runs a random off-world desert planet, an ex-Spartan who's somehow cooler than the Spartans and his flapper girl wife, and some girl with a fat booty who fucks John Halo.
>>215008953Forgot to mention the ex-Spartan who goes blind but is given a grenade launcher to defend against Covenant soldiers. Because why not.
>>215008953Most fans of the games understand that John Halo is supposed to be more of a faceless self-insert for the player, and that he doesn't translate well to other visual mediums. Plus a show or movie could be centered around someone else but still include him in some supporting role where he's more like the game version and doesn't take his helmet off.
>>214996523The show turned into an 80% female cast, so yeah Netflem is the perfect place
>>215006008thats beside the point. they didnt do it to make some profound statement about the longevity of the AK, they're just lazy fucks who would rather raid an armorer's inventory than create new props
>>215004854>Bungie themselves weren't sure they wanted to go that route, which is why neither Halo 2 nor 3 ever said that in-game>YOU ARE FORERUNNER
>>215007417>or find excuses to show the actor's face.That is the fucking problem. John-117 feels naked without his armor. The very rare occasions he takes his helmet off let alone his entire MJOLNIR system he should be pasty, ghost white. Dude's skin hasn't touched natural daylight in a decade or more. Same goes for the rest of the Spartan II's that are white. They're not normal humans. Their power armor is their 2nd skin. Imagine you ripped your skin off. That's how Spartan II's feel without their MJOLNIR. There are only 2 situations where a Spartan II's armor is removed. Forcefully or begrudgingly under orders like when Major Silva ORDERED Chief to a debrief without his helmet(or entire armor system, been over a decade since I've read the book). Point being. Spartan II's are a genetically engineered warrior class. They DO NOT have the same desires of a normal human. Carnal or otherwise. Their only desires are>protect humanity from all threats, foreign(Covenant/Flood/Forerunner) and domestic(DIRTY FUCKING INNIES)and>Halsey is my Mommy
>>215008028Holy Shit. He's more mutt than I am and my family has been here since the Mayflower fleet.
>>214996523>there are 30+ year olds here who still cling to Halo adaptations or even give a shit anymoreGrim. Just let it go anons. They should have made this 17 years ago when the IP actually peaked. It was a good time.
>>214998385>nobody remembers Master Chief sucks at halo
>>215009809Do they not take their armour off to shower? Does the armour clean their skin? Cut their toenails? Where do they shit and piss?
>>215009022>Most fans of the games understand that John Halo is supposed to be more of a faceless self-insert for the playerMaybe from 2001-2004. Chief's characterization was pretty well cemented with Halo 2-Halo 3. And before you try to reference other "faceless self inserts" like Link. Even in CE, Chief was shown to be caring towards his fellow warriors with a sardonic sense of humor. I.E. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsjbsI7FpBk
>>214997003Paramount probably sold the streaming rights to them for cheap, just to recoup some cash. Netflix will do what they did with Cobra Kai and see how the ratings are. If it's good maybe they order more episodes.
>>215009916Stop with your pedantry. The base layer of MJOLNIR has in built hygiene and biowaste systems. Their skin is cleaned regularly and their shidd n pizz :DDDD is held/disposed of in contained packets. Like a dogshit bag you bring with you on a walk with fido. Only things they'd realistically have to remove their armor for is nail trimmings and hair cuts.
>>215009855i actually enjoy the books now moreso than i did when i was a teen. there's a handful of good new ones. and funnily enough, they expect you to have read the books for the 343 games even more than bungie did. i played some of halo 4 then gave up though. replayed the bungie games instead.
>>215009973Power Armor version of pic related for waste
>>214996523Is this the one where the protag is called John Halo? I really hope that was just shitposting anons
>>215009809yeah and then the 4's came out and they are just football bros in horseshit overdesigned slop armor.i actually always had a soft spot for the 3's, however. and at the very least they did their own thing rather than stepping on 2's toes. plus kurt is obviously the best character in the franchise.
>>214996523I talked to a girl recently who beat Combat Evolved when it came out, never touched the series again and ended up liking this show. I just thought that was an interesting perspective
>>214999945Halo is a controller game
>>215010009what she meant was, it wasn't offensively bad for the couple times she looked up from her phone. which, she is still wrong about.
>>214996523What is this show even about?Are the Flood and you know, the actual Halo(s) in it?
>>214996599It's propably still better than most Netflix originals.
Didn't they BLACKED Captain Keyes and Miranda?
>>215000689>failed RTS game studiothis describes the total war and alien isolation people?
>>215002767Huh?
>>215008721Halotracker.
>>214996929What no autoaim does to a motherfucker
>>214996523Of course not, I never even watched the original show since everything about it seemed like ass.>John Halo takes off his helmet in the first episode>John Halo takes off his armour in the second episode>John halo takes off his clothes in the third episode
>>214996523zoomers dont give a shit about halo
>>215002767status: BLINDED
>>215010126I only watched like the first 3 episodes. But my Dad watched the whole thing. Apparently the Flood does appear near the end of S2 as well as Halo itself.
>>215010401Yes, it's kinda funny, 15+ hours of a show called Halo, and it only actually takes place on a Halo ring for its very final ~5 minutes and is then canceled
>>215002713you do if you play online on heroic or higher, holy fuck theres some glue eaters there
>>215001697Yes it would have been kino if we saw Marines fighting valiantly against immeasurable odds and just when things looked lost the motherfucking Master Chief arrives and wrecks the Covenant into the last century. Fleeting, but extremely based, appearances would be the best way to deal with the Chief on TV at least to start with.Whoever insisted that he took his helmet off should have been executed too.
>>215000689While MC is not the chosen one in-universe, he's certainly one in the minds of 343.There's a vast universe in Halo engaged in a war at galactic-scale, and somehow the only motherfucker who seems to matter at all is Master Chief. It's like when horror franchises completely drop every element from the original stories and only bring back the main villain because having his face on the direct-to-DVD box cover is what actually sells units to consumers.
The point of the series is to ruin the franchises one shot at a tv show so nobody wants to touch it again.
>>214997081lol
>>214996523
Gaylo
>>214996599>>214996726>>214997446 It was good, you're a pendantic redditor. Only woke shit in it was the gay cook guy but it's OK since he was only in one or two episodes and the covenant leveled his whole block and removed him. >HES NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE OFF THE HECKIN MASK BECAUSE IM SUPPOSED TO BE HIM >NOOO IT NEEDS TO AUTISTICALLY FOLLOW DA PLOT THEY GOT THIS ONE DETAIL ABOUT THE FLOOR STUFF OUT OF ORDER AND UHHH CORTANA >NOOO HE CANT BE SPECIAL HE NEEDS TO BE A NORMAL DUDE >MR. HALO CANT HECKIN DISOBEYE AN ORDER HE WAS GIVEN AN ORDER >NOOOO WHY ARENT REBEL PEONS USING SUPER DUPER SCIFI WEAPONS >WHY DID HE SLEEP WITH THE ENEMY LADY It was the best scifi show ever actually. Better than the expanse and other shit. I liked the metaphysical undercurrent to of him being destined reminded me of aniken and had that star wars kino feel without copying it (at least before the third trilogy ruined it). Meanwhile dogshit like the dune series gets renewed and applause.Gen x retards on reddit RUINED the Halo TV series by bitching and moaning. You idiots are stuck in the past and want everything to follow your heckin pop culture shit flawlessly to your group think likings. Muh it's not in da game. Muh it's not in the comics! Shut the fuck up. You don't know the level of mental effort it takes to go back 20 years and autistically recall the details and then demand them to be exacted. You don't know shit about kino. It would have sucked if he kept his mask on the whole time. Go back to your marvel shit if you want to faithful adaptations to the shit culture you had. Halo TV GOOD = 4CHANHalo TV BAD = Reddit
Just watch Forward Unto Dawn instead
>>214997413>the battle of Reach is just Chief in a vest and slacks shooting at off screen enemies in some Beast Wars looking alleyways and screaming like a woman the entire time>they even changed the name of the city from New Alexandria to Reach City for some reasonactually made me miss the recon shitpile full of quippy OC donutsteel spartans that was the Reach game. Chief being as emotionally unstable as a teenage girl throughout the entire series was such an incredibly retarded decision. the pairing of Chief, stoic and disciplined to the point of being more an autistic piece of military hardware than an actual soldier, and Cortana, the more human of the two despite being an artificial intelligence imitating a human mind, in the games was a more interesting take on "what it is to be human" than all of the forced drama in the show despite being a few minutes of dialogue spread across the games, at least before Halo 4.
>>215010175Not as good as cyberpunk edgerunners
>>214996575You mean halo online? Who cares, just enjoy the trilogy's campaign
>>215012207The level in CE where you first meet The Flood is more kino than any of this shit
>>215011881Bullshit. Free Market demands NuMbErS gO uP. Therefore, logically, the only explanation is that Microsoft/343i/Halo Studios(or whatever the fuck they're calling themselves now) misinterpreted the direction of the market. The betted on the vocal minority(woke fgts) instead of their built in fanbase who actually cares what happened(happens) to the Chief/Cortana/Halsey/Red Team/whatever. Instead, they tried the Netflix strategy of hiring a bunch of people to direct/write a Halo series who have never played Halo and therefore have no vested interested in the story as a whole. Literally the same thing that happened with Castlevania/DMC. Fuck Adi Shankar.
>>215012684jews anon, jews
>>215012030>>HES NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE OFF THE HECKIN MASK BECAUSE IM SUPPOSED TO BE HIM Exactly. Chief Petty Officer John-117 is supposed to be a self insert. >>NOOO IT NEEDS TO AUTISTICALLY FOLLOW DA PLOT THEY GOT THIS ONE DETAIL ABOUT THE FLOOR STUFF OUT OF ORDER AND UHHH CORTANA Yes. Chief and Cortana didn't link up until right before the Fall of Reach. This is Canon.>>NOOO HE CANT BE SPECIAL HE NEEDS TO BE A NORMAL DUDE No. John's SpEcIaL sTaT is UNGODLY LUCK. A skilled director should be able to show this onscreen. Without telling us. "Show don't tell".>>MR. HALO CANT HECKIN DISOBEYE AN ORDER HE WAS GIVEN AN ORDER Chief Petty Officer John-117's loyalty lies with Humanity, Dr. Halsey, The UNSC and ONI. In that order. As per established canon.>>NOOOO WHY ARENT REBEL PEONS USING SUPER DUPER SCIFI WEAPONS INNIE FUCKING SHITS. Their story is inconsequential to the narrative at large. Halo is literally a story of survival vs extinction. Humanity vs The Covenant Vs The Flood. Insurrectionist story lines LITERALLY don't matter unless they further the survival of humanity against the aforementioned threats.>>WHY DID HE SLEEP WITH THE ENEMY LADYYeah?! Why did he? Chief has a HUGE Oedipus complex because of Cortana. She is the only "woman" the only "person" he can and will love. Cortana, being a "Smart AI" is a clone of Dr. Halsey's mind. His surrogate mother since he was 6 years old. And after decades of fighting, Cortana has been his sole constant source of positive reinforcement on top of being his most trusted intelligence operative.
>>215012030>>215012879Fact is, and without mincing words or bloviating to an Nth degree, the Halo TV series FUCKING SUCKS. It FLAT OUT disregards the established lore. Lore that has been crafted over 20 years before the show even aired. To make an accurate comparison it would be like if someone decided to make a Zeus series based on the lore of Zeus. But instead of adapting the millennia of lore and characterization we've built through established LORE of the Greek King of the Gods Zeus. We hired a writer who blatantly and flagrantly says "fuck Greek Myth". And does their own thing instead.
I'm not done either. Fuck these fucking SHILLS. We could have had GREATNESS. Watch or REWATCH the live action ad campaigns for Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. Watch or Rewatch the remastered Halo 2 cinematics. A HALO TELEVISION SHOW SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN EASY SLAM DUNK. THE STORY, LORE AND SCENES ARE ALREADY ESTABLISHED AND MADE! FUCK ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION!!! If you're hired to adapt an already established setting/universe, YOUR ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION DOES NOT FUCKING MATTER! If you're hired to make a King Arthur Epic, I, AND EVERYONE ELSE, DOESN'T GIVE A FUCKING SHIT what you're ArTiStIc InTeRpReTaTiOn means. I don't want to watch a fucking movie about WHY King Arthur is AkChUaLlY a ColLoNiZeR of the British Isles. I want to see a motion picture of how Arthur Pendragon united Britain, hunted for the HOLY GRAIL and sacrificed his life in the battle against his bastard son Mordred. SAME GOES FOR HALOI DON'T WANT TO SEE CHIEF'S FACE OR ASSCHEEKS. I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT HIS INTERPERSONAL DRAMA. I WANT TO SEE JOHN-117 SAVING THE GALAXY AGAINST A RELIGIOUSLY ZEALOUS CONFEDERATION ON TOP OF PREVENTING A FUNGAL PARASITICAL HIVEMIND FROM HARVESTING ALL SAPIENT LIFE IN THE GALAXY. It's already been written. Fuck your ArTiStIc InTeRpReTaTiOn.
>>214996523I don't know why the TV series wanted to be its own thing. It could have just ripped off the actual games and been entertaining even to people who don't know or like the games.
>>215004067twitter epic moments compilation
>>215013099>>215012886the show was fine, you pissbabiestouch grass
>>215010176yeah. black keyes was kind of jarring, and they kill him off mullato miranda was cute though
>>214996599And it will get worse with Netflix in charge
>>215002493Kek
Halo CE is the only good halo game. Everything from Halo 2 was mogged by every other FPS of its time.
>>215014463So much this, xister. ACAB, BLM!! :black fist:
>>215016056Your dates track.
>>214996523Why can't they let it die?
>>215017145
>>215000940just being lucky is the most kino character trope, the halo 3 opening still gives me chills
>>214996523Does OP have reading comprehension? Netflix is not making a new Halo show, they obtained the distribution rights for the Amazon show and the seasons are on their platform for a a xx time.
>>215017189Zero chance this breaks even. Space opera+military+action is as expensive as it gets to produce. Not worth it for the handful of nostalgic millennials who care about Halo.
>>215017251>handful of nostalgic millennials who care about HaloThey aren't even the fanbase. Halo fans generally don't like the show.
>>215009190>they're just lazy fucks who would rather raid an armorer's inventory than create new propsto be fair, in regards of making the show look like halo they really outdid themselves with the armors, vehicles, ships, aliens and weapons compared to any other game/movie/book adaption.the show is shit in most regards but it sure does look like halo a lot.
If you get hyped about anything current year you are a fucking idiot
>>215012879>>215012886>>215013099>Cannon>Muh lore You don't know shit about cinema, it's expressly a rejection of these elements in favor of something better. You sound like a redditor like Stephen King bitching about kino surpassing the original and booohoooing because Kubrick changed the story and made it better. Cry me a fucking river. The audacity and redardation to say show not tell for a total fantasy of an invincible guy in a helmet that never comes off and is just some lucky UNSCOGbot. Go back to watching Play Dirty, John Wick and Ryan Reynolds trash if you want unbelievably lucky chunguses. You don't like the chief refusing to take shit from UNSC (NAFO) jeets and nigger head honchos because he should be some retard slave like you bending over because he took a heckin oath and signed a friggin contract. You failed to make any valid points, only resort to the cannonical story and your self inserting which is because you have a deep-seated neurosis about a fiction you've idealized and compartmentalized as part of you to make up for an insignificant life. Most Gen X has this problem and they do this to all of their past (muh 1980s). Worse yet, you are a redditor with the use of literally ad nauseum, unironic SpElling with intermittent caps to passively aggressively mock, superfluous swearing to assert your shit opinion, labels like religious zealots, and dumb rhetorical heuristics like "it would be like x thing having done to it y thing" which is irrelevant. To make you more upset, if I was directing and writing Halo TV, the kino ending would be him not saving the galaxy because that is dull predictable superhero tier slop.
>>214996575have you tried playing it instead?
