Why did it lose all of its mainstream relevancy?
>>738306190Bungie gave it to 343 and they made it gay.
Halo 4 onwards was made by people who hate Halo.
Kids whose introduction to video game was Halo grew up and realized Halo was never good.
>>738306190Halo Reach was the last good Halo.
>>738306190They put a w*man in charge
>>738306190everyone realized it was shit
They made the hot blue/purple ai babe put clothes on and get a breast reduction
>>738306615cortana 2 is peak for me
>>738306190Because superior multiplayer games spawned. Simple as.
>>738306190Other games swooced in and became the new most causal multiplayer title.
>>738306190Terrible mismanagement, no creative freedom whatsoever that didn't tow the corporate line, the whole premise of trying to milk people in such a blatant way as being as a primary monetization model. >>738306417That's the blame the reality is clever corpo enshitification and Microsoft being an absolutely shittiy company that treated Halo the same way a private equity firm would. Don't think for a second they didn't knew what they were doing. The plausible deniability of having "ESG, MUH PRIDE/FAGGOT" support and then blaming it on them when it fail is a perfect move. The crazy thing is, they still haven't learned from any of this. Halo is and should've been a golden goose, and yet they still keep insisting on doing the same thing over and over.
>>738306190Let that franchise go.Its dead.Quit trying to relive it.It's over.Play a new game.
>>738306190Halo 4 was so bad it immolated the good will that had been built up towards the brand. It was coming on the heels of the CE: Anniversary remaster which was also pretty bad.
It became gaylo
Shit really needs to learn to just fucking end, manLet it end on a high noteImagine if LOTR decided to do a sequel trilogy No one gives a fuck man
>>738306190I used to love Halo when I was younger. I prefer Doom now.
>>738309703The funny thing about thatLOTR is obviously a trilogy of books. Besides his side material Tolkien intended for that to be it. The book trilogy is the whole story. People who are not Tolkien, who somehow got ahold of the rights took it upon themselves to add to his work. There's a point I'm getting at here.
>>738306190game is boring slop and the story went full retard in 4.
>>738306376Halo3*
>>738306190The franchise got moved to 343 and then they started chasing gaming trends instead of maintaining their own identity.>uhm Call of Duty is doing this, we should do this tooEventually culimating in the stillbirth that was Halo Infinite with its "open world" campaign and F2P battle-pass multiplayer. Apparently there's a Halo extraction shooter or battle royale in the works now too which is gonna flop spectacularly.Reach was the last true "Halo" game even with the divisive elements present like armor abilities.Sadly Bungie has also been hollowed out by corporate turnover over the years, so I couldn't trust them to do right by it anymore either.
>>73830619015 years of bad games
I am absolutely butthurt that Chief and Cortana are stuck in hell owned by Halo Studios (formerly 343) and Xbox. Cool characters deserve better fates.
