The story may be good but it's the least fun of the trilogy. 1 and 3 have way better gunplay and levels.

>>7365231323 was the weakest
>>736523132I miss superbouncing
it has the best gunplay and levels
>>736524406Best elite design, best grunt design, best marine design, best odst design
>>736523132Halo 2 was a massive disappointment, thankfully 3 was good again and concluded the series.
Halo was never good.
>>736524406 >posts 240p webm of Lockout Yeah bro nothing says “best levels” like copy‑pasted silver hallways and fighting the Flood for 6 straight hours.Gunplay is good, I’ll give you that. BR feels crisp and dual wielding was sick at the time, but half the sandbox is balanced around button glitches and netcode held together by duct tape. Meanwhile people romanticize it because of nostalgia and MLG Lockout 1v1s. Campaign pacing is all over the place and Arbiter missions kill replay momentum.It’s great, but “best in the trilogy” is pure 2004 goggles.
>>736526381Who are you quoting?
>>736523132>3 >where mission 1 is walking from point A to point B, then mission 2 is walking from point B to point Afuck off
I honestly basedfaced when I replayed it recently on the exact 20th anniversary and I didn't know til I looked it up.
>>736526617But enough about Halo CE.
>>736523132The final product was made in 6 months, no shit it's the weakest of the trilogy. Phenomenal voice direction carries very questionable plot direction and scenes

>>736526871Yawn, 3 was better.
People who played halo for the singleplayer are seriously messed up in the head
This moment was the absolute pinnacle of the franchise and thus 3 must be the best game.
>>736527313>You are ForerunnerWhat did he mean by this?
>>736527573He meant that humans had a massive galactic war against the Forerunners who hated them. It's right there in the text.
>>736527313Nigger he just said it as plainly as possible.
>>736523132>The story may be good It is not. Arbiter's character arc is enjoyable, but unfortunately, it's inside of this story. Hierarchs -"Let's kill the Elites, even though they willingly stepped down from power and still obey us!">1 and 3 have way better gunplay and levels.Agreed.
>>736527573"Last time you asked me, if it were my choice, would I do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed. There is no choice. We must activate the ring."I wonder if what Guilty Spark often says isn't true.
>>736528272Clearly Humans were mortal enemies of the Forerunners.
>>736528319>Clearly Humans were mortal enemies of the Forerunners.I just found it impressive Master Chief time traveled to ask Spark a question he never asked in Combat Evolved.
You guys are fags. All three halo games are the best games ever made. Wars was sick. ODST was a ripoff but atleast it came with a spare halo 3 disk and the map packs. Reach should've been faithful to the book and should've had more space shit, it could've been like the cancelled battlefront 3 where they combined space battles with invasion but bungie had no vision in the end.
>>736529478>You guys are fags. Stop projecting
>>736528389Retard he doesn't mean chief specifically asking him. He means the last time humanity asked him as in the forerunners when they lit the rings and thats why hes had a considerably long time to ponder it.
>>736523132nah 2 is sick
I always felt like 3 was the least fun. the brutes I never found as cool to fight as the elites and they’re kind of gay and annoying honestly and the entire game is centered around them. halo 3 while it does some things well has a way different tone than halo 1 and 2 and it always feels subtly Pixar’d somehow. Idk what it is, maybe the graphics engine or something they used but I have only played through it like 2 times and halo 1 and halo 2 I have probably completed like 10 times each and I get way more immersed into. Halo 2 is probably the grittiest and more realistic feeling. Halo 1 is a little more cartoony but in a down to earth way that still feels good. Halo 3 feels like it was made more for all ages. I still have some nostalgia for halo 3 and I like the armor sets and the weapons and the multiplayer but the campaign I felt was the more bland of the 3. Didnt feel like the stakes were the same.
>>736527313Nice blur-o-vision upscale dicktard. Oh wait no it's not it's fucking garbageGod. That looks like xBRZ upscaling in an emulator. How do people think this shit is passable?
>>736526381>MLG Lockout 1v1sI don't know anyone who cared about that shit, genuine tryhards were like 1% of the population and they all segregated themselves to MLG customs. I romanticize it because people just naturally ended up making infection into a custom game that required good faith players, trust, and a responsible host for those lobbies to function, and bungie was nice enough to turn it into an official game mode in h3. That wasn't something I'd ever seen in an online console game at the time so yeah, it was pretty cool, the community aspect around H2 at the time was great and it also was the prototype for what would eventually become the 360's text/voice messaging system.
>>736535308NTA but I think back then we called it zombies. My rule was if I died too quickly at the very start of a round for some bullshit reason I wouldn’t switch over to the zombie side and would give myself one more life. especially if it was because we all got sent to the lag screen and I died the second I regained control. But 99% of the time when I died I would change to the zombie side. I also really enjoy tower of power on ascension and I’ve only seen that being played maybe once or twice in the MCC for some reason despite it being a defining halo 2 memory for me and I remember there being TOP games happening all the time.I tried to make my own game type which never caught on where it was similar to TOP but it was on lockout, no shields, and you spawned with one plasma rifle and one brute plasma rifle. On lockout there was a plasma turret I believe you could toggle on and people seemed to think it was okay but it didn’t really have the same appeal as shotguns on acension with the human turret. The main top floor outside area in the middle of lockout was totally covered in plasma rifles and the intent was everyone would dual wieldI tried
>>736536340It's why I loved H3 so much, I never cared about ranked or being competitive, it was basically gmod for consoles with how much stuff you could do with custom games and forge and literally no other console game offered that except for FC2 which was just a shit game to play in a multiplayer environment so the mapmaker never took off. I probably had hundreds more hours on custom games and btb to meet people for more custom games than I did matchmaking or ranked. The stargate fat boy map on foundry was god tier and sandbox was the final cherry on top for forge, they never did any better. Forge world was mechanically superior but the fuck-ugly soulless assets killed any potential for a real forge community.
>>736536445I never really got the same feeling from halo 3 I got from halo 2 but I think I have always been the sort of person to not like drastic change and halo 3 on the 360 just felt and looked too different for me to like it as much as the first two games. I’m not saying it’s logical but I remember being out off by it despite halo being what I ate breathed and slept for years. I still have good memories of it though and my brother and I had a large collection of halo McFarlane halo 3 figures.I have always been a BTB guy going back to halo 2 and personally enjoy more players most days. I was dissapointed (this probably is unrealistic) that halo 2 was so good in BTB with its awesome maps and vehicles, that with halo 3 they didn’t push to get larger teams because of the more powerful hardware. Instead of 8v8 I would even have settled for 10v10 or 12v12 since a 32 player game may have been too difficult on the hardware. But when you factor in all of the vehicles it seems like it could be cool and work. Even as a temporary social playlist called XL or something.Forge halo 3 and reach maps did suffer with the assets and that bugs me to this day because people make amazing things in forge on MCC but so much of it looks the same and ugly.
