PS5 owner here. will halo live up to the 25 year hype I’ve heard about it?
Yeah uhh… Halo is dead
absolutely not
Humans are Forerunners.
>>727633527From what they showed, no. They need to show more, the 3 prequel missions, and the 10 other missions remade fully for people to see if it'll be worth it or not, Flood Tank, Sentinel Beams, Energy Swords, Battle Rifles, and Needle Rifles should make things more interesting though. I hope we get proper boss fights in the game and a lot of new never for see stuff in there including alien wildlife that could also be hostile to the player. Give me a lot of this, and my opinions will change on the game. Also show the equipment the player can use.
>>727633527That's not Halo.
>>727633527Maybe. What was good about Halo was half the game and half the effect it had on me. Which at this point I think was an esoteric process. I think Halo was a kind of initiation for me. If it's not for you it won't be for you. If you play it I hope you enjoy it, but I'm not going to promise you'll get it. Also you really should play the original version anyway.
>>727634407Humans not being Forerunners could have meant something if 343 didn't care more about bookshit over making a fun video game.
>>727633527For sure. It's an amazing game.Just don't play the soulless remake. It's slop.
>>727636127>It's an amazing gameIt's not, that's why the remake has a lot live up to if it wants Halo's multiplatform debut to actually be successful. Halo can no longer rely on retards who are too pussy to play real video games and COD faggots to try and save this dying franchise, they need to start making a proper video game now and start implementing their book crap in the games, and I mean the cool sci-fi and fantasy shit, not that faggot ass character-driven nonsense no one but pussies likes.
As someone who loves the old trilogy? No.Especially this version that's trying to be "modern" despite Halo CE being the best game in the series because of how simple and charming it was to play.
>>727633527The mechanical strength of Halo CE was always that its ostensibly the most pure version of the gameplay loop.In adding shit like sprint and fucking with shit like ammo capacity they are cluttering that core pure experience and so you will be playing a fucked up version of a 24 year old game.AKA no
>>727637157Halo CE did well because it was going off the hype of games like Half-Life, Unreal, and Unreal Tournament. Rejects that couldn't get gaming rigs wanted those games so bad they settled for Halo due to LAN parties. Halo was always a dumbed down piece of shit. Marathon, Unreal, Half-Life, and Crysis 1/Warhead shitted on it and did what it tried to do better. Perfect Dark was a better console shooter, same with Turok. After Halo shitted up the genre from 2001-2015, Doom had to save it in 2016. Funny, after that year is when Halo fell off and whatever vision Microsoft had for Halo died right after that specific year.
>>727633527It will probably be a 7/10 game that people are gonna play through once or twice and never touch again just like Halo CEA
>>727637630You have no idea why Halo did wellLmao
>>727637773I had an Xbox, that's exactly why it did well. Your lore sucked ass compared to Marathon, and most people played it for its poor man's Unreal Tournament/Quake multiplayer because the singleplayer has always been ass. The fact that Bungie learned nothing from Crysis 1 and Warhead was embarrassing and instead copied COD4 for Reach. It's a wonder why your series fell off when real competition came for it. Halo Killer existed because no one actually liked Halo, even game developers. What a lazy ass series, honestly.
>>727638174>Your lore sucked ass compared to MarathonOh fuck off faggotDon't pretend (You) ever cared about MarathonAnd no. You have no fucking idea why Halo was successful.
>>727633527Imagine finally getting to play a Halo game, and it's a 343 title.
>>727633527Don't play thisI know there's going to be a legion of playstaytionfags wondering why this mediocre shooter was so dominant in the 2000s. The truth is halo is nothing without its creators, or at the very least people who understand it. It's because halo-era bungie was brilliant.OG halo is so simple, effortlessly fun, whimsical game design. It doesn't exhaust itself or overstay its welcome. Imo it's like that perfect movie you love and can always switch on for a good time.There is also a quality present that brings it above only being a good game. It has real soul. I can't describe it beyond that. Some synthesis of the aesthetic, music, setpieces idk.If you get it, you get it.
>>727633527Halo has been dead for longer than its been alive. And Microsoft still doesnt have a single IP to replace it with. Let that sink in
>>727633527not that one
>>727638243nothing compares to the Hero terminal in Marathon 2
No. If you have a 360 with a hard drive, you can go play all 5 of the Bungie games for cheap and never touch 343's embarrassing garbage
>>727638950Anyway, microshart has consistently shown themselves to not have the slightest grasp of what makes halo. They can't even get the basics right, let alone the esoteric stuff.I honestly do not give two fucks about xbox beyond halo. But really you shouldn't patronize this trashFor all the snoys out there that really want to experience halo, emulate it.
>>727639176Except for Marathon: Infinity which taught me how to
>>727638243>Oh fuck off faggotWhat's wrong, bitch, can't defend your dying franchise?>Don't pretend (You) ever cared about MarathonI did, Bungie couldn't even stick their guns to the gameplay direction of Halo CE and actually fix the problem areas, they simply stopped giving a crap about the sandbox while making everything else around that worse just so they could push their crappy multiplayer.>And no. You have no fucking idea why Halo was successful.Yes, I do, you liked it because you used it for socializing instead of enjoying the game for what it was. Old console FPS games were able to have a good MP and a good SP that exist on its own. Halo felt like the SP was secondary while the MP was broken slop made for one weapon because Halo was a poorly balanced game. Don't try to argue that the series didn't get worse when Xbox Live came into play.
>>727639062Halo was lightning in a bottle like Xbox, neither honestly should have been successful.
>>727639793NTAIts just incredibly obvious that you have a massive hate boner for Halo in particular, and you're just making stuff up on the spot. You've probably never played Halo let alone Marathon despite acting like you have.If you're a Quakefag or Unrealfag that blames Halo for killing your series then its time to wrap it up and move on dude, its been 20+ years.
>>727633527Fuck no. From everything I've seen the demake is strictly worse than the original.>worse graphics>worse gameplay>no multiplayerLegit why would you play that? Go play literally any other FPS.
>>727633527I played Halo 1 for the first time recently.It's a good game in general but doesn't really stand out in any paticular way.
>>727639793>What's wrong, bitch, can't defend your dying franchiseThat's not how this shit works niggerHalo ended with Halo 3. It's not "alive" when people are still buying the newest games, and it's not "dead" because there aren't new games being made. You're dumb. And stupid. And retarded.
>>727640742To be frank, a lot of that is because it set the standard for console FPS and everyone and their mother either copied or iterated on it. By this point we have done what it did but better many times. It was pretty stand out for it's time(relative to other console FPS, nothing it did was particularly special if we consider PC FPS).
>>727639945It's funny how the previous success of Xbox was them getting lucky twice.>Halo turned out to be a killer app and made OG Xbox popular>Xbox 360 outsold the PS3 at the start of the gen because Sony happened to completely fumble the PS3's launchThen Don "Always Online" Mattrick came in and sabotaged the brand's reputation.
>>727640034I have a hate boner for Microsoft and Halofags like you.
>>727641136>Halo ended with Halo 3.People were tired of Halo by Halo 3, only multiplayer faggots gave a shit, by that point because they're mentally ill 3-year-olds.
>>727638174>erm I had an xbox so I knowso did everyone else, faggotHalo was successful because it was cool and had aura. Spartans were cool, Covenant was cool, Vehicles were cool, Co-op was a blast, Gameplay was simple but fun. You are just retarded
>>727636818>>727637630>>727638174behead all quake boomers
>25 year hype>for obviously new 343 dogshit fanfictionhuh?
>>727634841I have no hope for the game whatsoever, even though I'm really interested in seeing the reimagined levels. The fact that they added hitmarkers proves that the developers have the IQ of a cockroach.
>>727641603Keep stroking it
>>727641782>so did everyone elsebullshit, it barely outsold the GameCube here in the US and it got demolished by the PlayStation 2 in the US. Xbox only became relevant during the 360 because of Sony's screw up. Xbots became cucks after the Xbone debacle instead of permanently dropping Xbox like everyone else in the world did, now Microsoft is spitting in their mouths by making them by a $1500 PC as an Xbox next gen which could get bumped to $2000 anyways.>Halo was successful because it was cool and had auraIt was successful because of multiplayer and multiplayer alone, that's it.You're stupid and ignorant
>>727642284>no no no no halo wasn't successful>It was just the biggest FPS on the market for yearsSuck my penis gayboy
>>727633527Halo is good but it spawned so many imitators that I can guarantee if you're over the age of like 15, you've 100% played it before. Not only that but you've played a version of it made with the benefit of hindsight that fixes a lot of its mistakes.The story is very good, provided you're already the type to enjoy military Sci Fi. If that's not in your taste, it's like showing the original Mad Max to someone that doesnt like revenge stories or cars.On top of that, it's a console shooter and much like how the best CRPG is a fraction of the worst tabletop RPG, the best console shooter is a fraction of the same game on PC.
>>727642284>You're stupid and ignorantthe irony
>>727639793halo ce comes so close to being a good game then 2 just completely fucks it
>>727642440>It was just the biggest FPS on the market for yearsIt was the most astroturfed for years, anyone with a PC, PlayStation, or Nintendo console or handheld barely knew it existed. It was shilled a lot because it was the only successful franchise Microsoft even had and even Bungie got sick and tired of making them, lol. Media outlets got tired of it after the disappointment of Halo 2's campaign and just saw it as a multiplayer series and after CE, it was barely getting Game of the Years, just best multiplayer game. The series was seriously overhyped and overrated by its fanbase and Microsoft. It was the multiplayer trend until COD stole its thunder. After that, it just kept trying to remain relevant but then other trends started taking over while Wolfenstein and Doom return to save singleplayer FPS leading to Halo no longer having a place in gaming. You blame 343 for killing something that was already dying. 343 just accelerated Halo's death because they were as retarded as their own bosses at Microsoft. Bungie made Destiny for a reason, even if that turned out to be shit.
>>727642827Exactly, Halo 2 could have perfected the sandbox. I would be looking at Halo differently if it did, and would like and respect it.
>>727642959you pretty much summed up how i feel. it was MS money that got Halo this far.
>>727642959>yap yap yap >irrelevant shitNobody cares loser. Everyone I know who plays games liked Halo
>>727642959>the disappointment of Halo 2's campaignHalo 2 changed me and my friends lives when we were kids. The campaign was always great. Its only recently people have decided its bad. Its mostly 360 kiddies that didn't play 1 or 2. Halo 3 was the one that was mainly known for multiplayer. No one I knew had Xbox live until 360 came out
>>727643236I guaranteed most of them started with Halo 3 as the trend game before it fell off slowly.
>>727643412there was literally a site called halo2sucks.org when it came outit was right about the grenade physics being shit
>>727643435Doesn't matter. Halo is loved because it follows the rule of cool. No amount of cope will change the cultural impact the Halo trilogy had.Literally everything else you say is cope.
>>727643564and everything about 2 and 3's balance on Heroic and above is designed to waste your time
>>727643412No one ever liked Halo 2's campaign after Halo 1's. Everyone that liked Halo 2's campaign, people knew it was their first Halo game. Halo 2 gets a lot of hate because it was heavily pushed and hyped up and didn't deliver on anything. Halo 2 could possibly be why the series isn't relevant today. Halo kept repeating the false advertisement until it reached a boiling point with Halo 5 and people just said they were done. Infinite crashed because people simply had enough and even Microsoft gave up after blowing $600 million on that piece of shit. Notice how Microsoft started doing some hard shopping every time Infinite failed.
>>727643564>there was literally a site called halo2sucks.orgno flipping way! this changes everything! I'm sure it wasn't made by a bunch of bitter quake boomers!
ok so any thread about halo has some guy who has a chip on his shoulder about being bullied by quakeGODS i guess
>>727643738>No one ever liked Halo 2's campaign after Halo 1'sI did and I still do. There is a reason "Halo 2 is the only good video game" is a meme
>>727643657>Halo is loved because it follows the rule of coolToo bad that started to fall off with Halo after CE. nuDoom is how you do the rule of cool right, even if it went sideways with the Dark Ages. If I'm supposed to be a supersoldier, make me feel like one, dammit.
>>727633527>PS5 owner here.TRANNY ALERT TRANNY ALERT
>>727643738You are outing yourself as completely ignorant. Halo 2 was popular for its multiplayer, and its campaign was only 'disliked' because it was unfinished due to the game having to get scrapped and remade within the span of a year. When played as a whole now, the game is fine and generally enjoyed. Saying Halo 2 made the series irrelevant makes you double retarded, because Halo 3 was an insane success and was one of the most popular games of its time. There was zero false advertising after that point UNTIL halo 5 released. Infinite crashed because it was an unfinished live service, open world, and made by a bunch of contracted indians. Please refrain from any more opinions! :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDVDwgCQ6Qo>best track in the game>only used in a tiny portion of AOTCR in the many repetitive arenas and a cutscenewtf were they thinking with this shit
>>727644084Halo 3 was loved for the same reason Halo 2 was loved, for its multiplayer. The multiplayer was pushed so hard they released a beta and didn't say much about the campaign. Campaign disappointed again for different reasons and everyone just went to play the multiplayer, again.
>>727633527I never particularly liked Halo, it's an alright shooter with interesting vehicles but that's about it, I enjoyed games like Half-Life and Quake more desu
