Is it possible to bring back Halo's original glory?
ODST > 2 = 3 >Reach > 1
>>739093489I'm sure some indie studio could copy Halo's multiplayer formula but then everyone would bitch about its issues because its haloBut in terms of the actual IP? Fuck no, move on, and I say that as someone who has also watched their beloved series die a slow and painful death (fallout). Enjoy the games you like and never hope for anything new to be good, there's no point find new things to enjoy
>>739093762>every franchise you loved is either dead or parody of itself it hurts
>>739093489No, can't have good military scifi any more
>>739093931>it hurtsIt does, but you can always find new things and when you can't, you can always go back and play the old games you enjoyed
>>739093489No, its better to just come to the reality that Halo was never good, you were just young
>>739093693eeugh
>>7390936931 feels like a much tighter game than 3 or 1. at least there the AR was worth a damn.
>>739093489No dudeYoure old
>remake>UE5 shinny plastic unoptimized slopa>"updated" art style >"modernized" gameplay>voice lines rerecorded for some reason>cutscenes changeit's dead, just move on >
>>739093489Serious question, how many times are they going to demake Halo 1 in my lifetime?
>>739093489kill yourself frierentranny
>>739094191uh oh melty
>Bungie is shit>Microslop is slopNo, anon, just be happy it happened
>>739094190I expect remaster of the remake in 5 years
>>739093489No, because Halo Infinite unironically grew its multiplayer offerings to be one of the greatest--if not the greatest--out of the entire franchise, and people still reject it and go >Infinite because its shitty first year. After a certain point, you have to realize that people are just gonna choose to be mad and hate, because that's a lot easier than actually playing video games.Granted, the writing was already on the wall with Halo 5 and that whole>advanced mobility is a lie in 90sbullshit video that just used basic sprinting instead of ANY of the actual advanced mobility that allows you to move and shoot at the same time and faster than ever before
>Today you realized that Marathon is the exact same shit Halo was>Bungie didn't change, their consumer base grew up
>>739093693Modded ODST maybe. Vanilla has cool missions but the padding is cancer.I want Rainbow Six ODST with lean and giving orders to my squaddies.
>>739094321(you)
>>739093489Nope. That time's past.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhzeV57bNtQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAW2F6oPYMc
>>739093693Reach does have good campaign, but damn game feels more like COD game then Halo
>>739093693What so special about ODST?
I never thought their would come a day people on v would ever discuss faggy ass gaylo with sincerity
>>739094527https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWh9l8RSkPk
>>739093489Just focus on the MILITARY SCIFI you dumbass writers.
>>739094527the feeling
>>739094589Sounds like the soundtrack to a really bad chick flick in the 90s
>>739094558>thread about videogames on my /v/?>no no no we can't have that, not on my watch
>>739093931Really the situation only sucks these days in that not only was halo basically dead and buried, user made content is basically dead online.And there was the whole fucking debacle with MCC on PC, since microcock was trying to fuck over linux users and force people into the Xbox Liven't/Windows Gaming 2.0 ecosystem which killed the relaunch.
>>739094779One day you will be old enough to understand
>>739093489its not, it was for a time and place that no longer exists and will never exist again.
I never did LASO and recently went back to do LASO for the Bungie games. Fell in lovr with them all over again. They were made by passionate white nerrds. I just dont think well ever get something as good ever again. Modern devs just dont get it
>>739094969That you like anal stimulation?I already understand
>>739094295Infinite sucks even with the amount of content the game currently has. Sprint is a part of why it sucks, but is far from the only reason.
>>739095042Yeah when you were 12
>>739093489jews hate halo because of all the Christian symbolism in the game thats why it became a literal god tier franchise and why microsoft hired people that specific hate halo to run it into the ground
>>739095067>LASOwhats the appeal of playing the epitome of artificial difficulty
>>739095409I mean I think it's simpler to say as a series they basically had everything nailed down in two distinct versions with 3 and reach, and completely fumbled it by refusing to release them on PC for years and intentionally botching it when they were desperate for people to give a shit about Halo again, which only left behind a bunch of bitter people who have no interest in any future installments, a franchise nobody finds appealing, and endless remakes that only serve to defile it further and make people hate it more.Certainly doesn't help that bungie splitting into bungie and 343i resulted in two non-functional companies not really able to make anything people gave a shit about.
>>739095409Actually Halo is an Islamic game and Chief preforms a successful jihad
>>739095627Halo's tried to reinvent the wheel with pretty much every release, leading to nobody being able to agree on what the best one is. It's only gotten worse over time with people now feeling genuinely nostalgic over Halo 4.
>>739095512700/700 feels good
>>739095627i don't like bungie but its undeniable that destiny was successful and managed to carry bungie for years
>>739094589what the fuck? all this time i thought this was some one piece track.
>>739093489No.The Halo trilogy/The true Halo story ended.Old Bungie is gone.There's no going back. Move on from these decaying overgrown funguses that people erroniously call "franchises".
>>739095703It's pretty obvious the Covenant is Islamic, come on
>>739095732Destiny was FINANCIALLY successful.In the same way that a mobile game is "successful" or LoL is "successful" when they get some freak to spend hundreds getting the same skins across multiple accounts.As it stands and I mean this as offensively as possible.Destiny was a mid warframe clone with a higher budget.And warframe wasn't even that good to begin with.
>>739095896Actually they're Hindu as you can see by their caste system
>>739095896A game made during the post-9/11 war on terror has the bad guys be implied islamists??? What??? Really unheard of
>>739093489why is the autism elf driving a halo
>>739095964>A game made during the post-9/11 war on terror has the bad guys be implied islamists?Halo was in development before 9/11
>>739095115>gay shit outta nowhereinsane self report
>>739096041Technically so was 9/11
No arena shooters are a legit dead genre.
>>739096121lmao you know what I mean it came out a month later but it's not like they had the time in a month to utterly change the themes
>>739096190doom dark ages will save it
>>739093489Killing all the w*men in the world is unfortunately impossible
>>739093489No you retard shut the fuck up
>>739093489Possible? Sure. The formula is right there, anybody can use it.But not likely to come about in a form you would want.You see, the problem is that no AAA game dev is gonna try that formula ever again, they want that GAAS money, and they WILL chase it until they run their company into the ground. That leaves indie studios to pick up the slack. Literally just being indie will probably peel off a good 60% of its intended audience, because I know what kind of people tend to go for FPS games, and what kind of people tend to go for low budget indie games, and those circles don't overlap much.
>>7390936932 > 1 > ODST > Reach >>>> 33 is by far the worat Bungie Halo. Its not even close
>>739095512Its not that hard if you use tricks and get good
>>739094090I agree, halo 1 doesn't hold a candle to halo 1
>>739097657just wait til halo 1 releases, fag
>>7390936932>3>1>ODST>Reach>Infinite>4>5
What's the best Halo mission? And why is it The Arc?
>>739098586Huh? It's obviously the Silent Cartographer?
>>739098639That's a funny way to spell 343 guilty spark
>>739098712That level is great but its overratedthe actual combat encounters and setpieces are great for their initial surprise, but after that? It's not particularly well designed for fun encounters, more of a hallway slog and then a run in the dark. I won't deny that it's a pivotal mission, but, like, it doesn't nearly have the somewhat open-endedness and overall more fun of something like the Silent Cartographer.
>>739093489At this point, to revive Halo back to its true glory days, you'd have to release the greatest sandbox shooter of all time. Because that's what Halo was during its heyday, it was basically the Roblox of FPS titles.343 has consistently failed to capture what made Halo special. They chase trends and always doubled down on the competitive scene. To be clear, this is like Nintendo creating the next Smash Bros so it was balanced around tournies.
>>739093762They are already working on halo multiplayer ripoffs, and they obviously would being indies
>>739093489i started watching frieren recently and its shocking how a work that focuses so heavily on the passage of time has no sense of history.no glory in babys first fps
>>739094558>quakecels still malding 25 years later
>>739093489>Is it possible to bring back Halo's original glory?Halo will never be back. The days of you coming home after school and shooting the shit with your mates over some custom games are never coming back, and that's ok. You need to accept that those days are gone and never coming back. The People making Halo now are not the same kind of people, the entire online environment is not the same any more.
The story was over. It was a mostly perfect trilogy. There was no need to continue it especially if all it was going to do was denigrate what came before.
>>739099053Why must you hurt me with the jim spartan?
>>739098935The Frieren world does feel very procedurally generated.
>>7390985861 silent cartographer2 metropolis3 tsavo highwayodst i dk im bad at remembering names and levelreach same as odst, exodus maybe?
>>739093489yes, by popping CE into an xbox and playing co-op or death match with couch frens
>>739099857>death match
>>739093489There's not a single game that could come out and do that anymore. You might get similar or better player numbers, but that era of games where it'd be cemented culturally is long passed.
>>739093489>boomers daydreaming about muh old timeslol, lmao even
>>739094018Maybe you were, but I was older then than I am now.
>>739093489Yes by destroying the brown flood IRL
>>739093489maybe if they game parts of the book series into games. Specifically Halo The Fall of Reach, they turned that into a game. If it retcons anything in Halo Reach, so be it. But there would be enough new material there from the book that would be interesting to play.
>>739101209*maybe if they make parts of the book series into games
>>739093762>but then everyone would bitch about its issues because its haloPeople really liked Splitgate a lot until they fumbled it
>>739093693>>739097618>odst or reach above anything
>>739093693this man did not have friends>>739095913this is a good post. Destiny 2's handling has been such an insane fuckup man. "I dropped it after an hour / 2 hrs because I had no idea what the fuck was going on"
>>739101432Above 3, abso-fucking-lutely.Both mog the shit out of 3
>>739093489Your best bet would be some tranny making a low poly multiplayer game that feels like Halo.
>>739101524No. Get out.
>>739094261and then a remake of the remaster's remake. Followed by a double remake/remaster combo of halo 2 topped off with rererelemakaster triple supreme of halo 3, ODST and Reach. Roughly the same business strategy capcom is doing with RE.
>>739101587Not that anon but 3 isn't that great. Fuck those slow moving platform sections that they liked to spam for some reason. I didn't really like reach either except for certain story parts. They did a great job showing how fucked the civilians were during the evacuation. Other than that it felt weird and that space section was garbage.
>>739093489Halo was never good.
>>739101319>People really liked Splitgate a lot until they fumbled itwasn't that more like Lawbreakers or Portal than anything? >>7391016213's plot is so phoned in, 3 in general is one of those "hype" games where if you weren't 12 years old and had your cherry popped by it you'll think its a 7/10 at best
>>739093489No, Microsoft isn't creative, Microsoft doesn't want to reboot the series, Microsoft doesn't want to license out the IP to other studios, the fans don't want it to do something else. Series needs to put down. Many game series died, Halo needs to join them.>>739094018This too
>>739101718>wasn't that more like Lawbreakers or Portal than anything?Obviously not or else I wouldn't be bringing it up, numbnuts. It was Halo but with portals.
>tfw was saving that person's Frieren x Halo art for weeks but then I stopped and now there's hundreds of additional images I need to saveplease tell me one of you anons have them all saved that you can upload for me or that danooru/gelbooru has them all or somethingAnyways Infinite's multiplayer was great, I think the problem is really that Halo fans are just impossible to please. Not that there weren't very real issues with the game's slow content rollout, but there's also clearly a large section of the fanbase that just won't accept anything but Halo 3: 2>>739094295Based H5 and Infinite appreciating anon>>739095221Sprint is a meme issue that stopped being a problem after Halo 4>>739098586>>739098639>>739098712>>739098762>>739099761You're all delusional. I think Halo 3 is overrated but "The Covenant" is clearly the best mission in the franchise>Classic pacific northwest outdoor spaces>you start with a Spartan laser and have immediate access to fuel rods and rocket launchers>Chieftans and major fights out the wazoo>cool vehicle section as the main halo theme plays>interior forerunner ruins, another major chieftan fight>huge aerial dogfight with the hornet>storming another set of ruins with elites as your allies>suddenly the flood>tank run with halo theme playing again>dual scarab fight>arguable main climax of the entire original triology with Truth about to actviate the rings, the flood even become your allies>truth's death>>739098779>always doubled down on the competitive scene.Not really. Infinite has wacky and creative weapon/sandbox elements out the ass which compfags hate
>>739095409Real reason, not your schizo babble, the series ended with the third game, but since Microsoft had nothing for Xbox, which wasn't even supposed to last as long as it did given that Microsoft doesn't know shit about gaming, they kept pushing for more games while shitting up PC gaming just to have a continued losing fight with PlayStation. Halo and Xbox should have just died, Microsoft should have either given up their IPs or do what Sony does with theirs and what Microsoft currently does with MechWarrior and just license that shit out. It's time for Microsoft to hang it up with Xbox.
>>739094018Halo used to be impressive when it came out. While everyone was jacking off GTA 3, I think Halo CE did everything that game did and better. Like better driving, better AI, and having multiplayer
>>739093489Is it possible for you to move on with your life?
>>739095627There was no split, most of Bungie left and the most you could count of Bungie employees that even stuck with Microsoft was with one hand.
>>739102036>Not really. Infinite has wacky and creative weapon/sandbox elements out the ass which compfags hateThe weapons were balanced around comp, the game launched without Forge, a broken theater mode that remained that way for over a year, and it barely functional custom games.
>>739093489I too remember when the west wasn't shit
>>739101846>Obviously not>It was Halo but with portals.im gonna skullfuck you>>739102036>dual scarab fighti couldn't unsee the fact that it felt like Half-life 2 where they keep throwing the stupid gunship fights at you 3x>truth's deathfelt pretty meaningless imo given how dumb he acts during the course of the game
>>739095667>>739093489explain the link between racist elf anime and halo. why do these art pieces exist, i need to know more.
>>739093693fuck off, Staten
>>739102376>i couldn't unsee the fact that it felt like Half-life 2 where they keep throwing the stupid gunship fights at you 3xI remember this used to excite me, after playing many games with boss fights, I now feel like Bungie were lazy for repeating that fight several times.>felt pretty meaningless imo given how dumb he acts during the course of the gameI remember being very disappointed in his death, like it felt anti-climactic. I now know why I was disappointed in it, it wasn't a boss fight.
>>739102376Halo is not Portal, you retard. One is a FPS, the other is a puzzle platformer. Adding portals to Halo does not make it like Portal. Limpdick mongoloid like you aint skullfuckin anything at this rate, you faggot.
more like gayloha got em
>>739094558Its depressing. But we do have unironic Fortnite threads as well.
>>739102036Infinite was stiff, the engine was terrible, the weapons were ass and the auto aim was so strong that it was completely unplayable on mkb and no fun at all on controller. And it was forever stuck with the stigma of being attached to Halo 4 and 5, with the campaign being absolute dogshit too. Infinite was ass.
>>739101718I felt like halo 2 was a bit too comical and on the nose in how LE BADASS it was but halo 3 showed me I was incorrect and that playing it completely straight was worsestill like em both
did anyone manage to use a dlc unlocker for infinite to get the campaign?
>>739093489We've been having this same discussion for literally a decade now.The answer still remains the same: No.The damage has been done and no amount of good will will ever bring the franchise back to its glory days. Zoomers don't give a fuck and Boomers have either moved on entirely from gaming in general or onto greener pastures. Halo was a product of its time and its success could have been evergreen, but it was passed down onto arrogant, irreverent, opportunistic retards who showed no respect to the game and its original vision and raped its corpse until it was nothing but dust.
>>739093489No. Only burgers gave a fuck anyway.Most blatant forced popular game in the hystory of vidya.
>>739103650pipe down, brownie
>>739103573Halo got fucked by being owned by Microsoft and not Nintendo, Sony, or Valve.
>>739103650halo spawned from the golden ages of vidya, a time you know nothing about, tourist shitskin
>>739103650True, glad we got over it, it was a trend, nothing more.
>>739101621>Fuck those slow moving platform sectionsWhich?I only remember those being all over 2.
>>739103763>Halo got fucked by being owned by MicrosoftMicrosoft actually wanted the franchise to end with Halo 3, but Bonnie Ross saw an opportunity in 2007 and convinced Microsoft to start 343 Industries.
>>739103674>>739103783Golden age my ass. Shit was called baby's first FPS on release, you just grew up with it.
>>739103674>>739103783Trump is a pedo, israel cucks, etc.Now go back to work for your masters
>>739103808Oh cool, that means if Microsoft's final Xbox run flops (it will), Microsoft can finally stop making Halo games entirely?
I first played all the Halo games three years ago. They're great games, but it's a shame I wasn't there at launch. It's especially disappointing what Microsoft did with the series later on.
>>739103808>Microsoft actually wanted the franchise to end with Halo 3No, honeyBungie wanted to end Halo with 3. Actually they didn't even really want to make Halo 3 and Microsoft had to resuscitate the tattered remains of their studio after the Halo 2 dev hell.Bungie had a contract to make 5 Halo games for Microsoft, before selling the brand to Microsoft. Microsoft did and still does want to milk Halo forever. I think they're realizing they probably don't have the skill to, but no. Microsoft definitely never wanted Halo to end. It was making them so much money. Frankly it was carrying the Xbox brand too.
>>739095409based
>>739104265>Frankly it was carrying the Xbox brand too.That has been true since the Hueg.
>>739102391are humans able to mate with demons? no? then you can't be racist against them, they are a different species
>Bungie tired of making Halo, because Microsoft are massive dicks with anal deadlines >After their departure MS replaced them with people who hate the Halo>Epic tired of making GoW and Microsoft's nagging about game every two years>After selling rights to Microsoft they replaced them with people who hate GoWhmm
wort wort wort
All they have to do is remove sprint and all the ability slop reach added that ruins the map design and make it so you play a Spartan defending the Sangheli Alliance planets with huge breasted Elite women swooning over you.
>>739104970blue bord anon you can't say that anymore
>>739104970You right it wasn't even close to 6 billions
>>739102391No real link. Someone decided one day to slap Frieren in Halo.
>>739102391Old ass game for an old ass woman
there are ~1000 people playing infinite right now less than two weeks after the release of a new game mode. halo reach (MCC) has a more active playerbase for custom games than infinite has across all gametypes combinedthis shit is deader than elvis man
I’m so tired of seeing Frieren ruin everything
>>739107770The new mode sucks ass. Halo's gameplay is not made for slaughter gameplay.
>>739093489get rid of 343 and re-hire Bungie
>>739110774I dont think current bungie will do a good job
>>739110774current Bungie is just a skinwalker at this pointeveryone from the old Bungie are either left or were fired
>>739110953>>739111076bungie guns are still fun to shoot, they just need someone whipping them to deliver things on time. they should also hire literally any random chud and give them veto power on any and all aesthetic decisions but thats my personal opinion
No because no studio will ever release a multiplayer shooter without a bullshit battlepass or GaaS model again. The era is over
>>739093489Honestly Bungie went way too hard wrapping the series up in Halo 3 and now every single Halo game feels forced. It could be mechanically and storywise better than 3, but I feel like spiritually for everyone who played the series from CE up to 3 and ODST it's just "done" and if you can't reel in that core audience again, just move on to a new IP and make something more original. Plus I feel like 80% of Halo's fanbase is millenials like me who put the game on a pedestal due to nostalgia. Which is fine, for it's time Halo was a great game and it was essentially accessible to everyone has a competitive FPS
>>739093693first post bait postODST is vastly inferior in every way compared to bigger Halo games
Best Missions from Every Halo Game:>CESilent Cartographer >2Delta Halo>3The Ark>ODSTUplift Reserve>ReachExodus >4Requiem>5 & InfiniteN/A. They're just not memorable enough.
>>739116014Note how all of these levels (Aside from 4 but that doesn't matter) have you fighting with marines, with the ability to do vehicle shit during it with said marines.I love my dumbass lads. I WILL reload the checkpoint when one dies, and you cannot stop me.
>>739116152I would've picked Infinity for 4 (you fight alongside marines and nu-spartans), but there's two boring slog Promethean-only fight sections on that level.
>>739093489just make another scifi mil shooter with amazing visual style, writing, and gameplay. Not that hard.
>>739116535Make an extraction shooter with a 5 year gameplan that closes down after 5 months I gotchu
>>739116535That's all I'd want. A game with varied guns and seamless vehicles and varied enemies that banter in battle, with a linear-ish mission structure that puts you in a variety of hand-constructed encounters. Maybe even multiple factions that occasionally fight against one another. But apparently that's to difficult for today's suits, better to just recycle an asses store humanoid skeleton with basic aiming/running/jumping animations.
>>739094295>No, because Halo Infinite unironically grew its multiplayer offerings to be one of the greatest--if not the greatest--out of the entire franchise, and people still reject it and go >Infinite because its shitty first yearcan you still walk through your teammates? is it still prioritizing being a skinnerbox mtx-fest over being a halo game? is it still made by the "people who hate halo" that 343 bragged about hiring? does the chopper fucking CHOP yet? are the BTB maps still three lane MOBA garbage like they were on launch? has the game really been improved beyond ways of milking players with the cash shop? if the answer to even ONE of those is yes, then the game is still shit and deserves every drop of scorn it gets.
>>739116535but it will make hundreds of millions of dollars instead of being a infinite money printer like Fortnite :(
>>739093489Probably not. They stopped making good games like 20 years ago. Since then all they did was make shit games then spend like 10 years pandering to gays using the series as a dead horse to prop up their agenda.Shit is super dead
>>739095703Halo is about christians and shia muslims joining forces to kill jews, sunni muslims and jeets
>>739110774>wanting post-marty bungielol. lmao. they just drop "no hiring ex-bungie" rule, and get marty and micheal back. those two did a hell of a lot more than just the soundtrack.
>>739095409>>739095703>>739117662Okay I hate /pol/ posting but it literally is what 662 said.
>>739117749Yeah basically, and what's funnier is that depending on the lore you adhere to, humans are either god's chosen (nulore) or god's direct descendants (oldlore) so they never even retconned this angle.
>>739116152>>739116386I just replayed the Infinity campaign, and I spent almost the entire game thinking to myself "This shit would have been so much better if they had just ripped off MGS5 more for the open world shit.
>>739118685The only parts of Infinite I liked was finding marines in the wild and saving them from whatever is attacking them.Then putting them in a transport hog and giving them all sentinel beams so they just melt shit instantly.
>>739102220>The weapons were balanced around compI literally just explained how that is not the case>>739103373>the weapons were assFactually incorrect. It's got the least amount of bad weapons of any Halo game aside from maybe CE and pre-TU H5 (only the Disruptor and Pulse Carbine are bad, vs like half the sandbox being so in 2-4), and does so while giving each gun a very distinct role and set of mechanics and while having the second largest sandbox in the seriesIt's very clearly got the best weapon sandbox in the franchise
Where the FUCK is Ruby's Rebalanced 2? I need more good workshop mods.
>>739121381The new guns all failed to miss their mark, and are forgotten amongst the half a dozen precision weapons and the AR you spawn with. They even made weapons like the Needler into completely generic hitscan automatic guns.The Ravager is just dogshit. It's a neat concept, but it's just simply a bad weapon.
>>739093693ODST is carried hard by its soundtrack and barely noir-esk rookie missions (which is just walk to marked location and listen for the beeping intractable, no real investigative shit at all), because the rest is pretty trash upon replay.
>halo, it's finishedlet it be. I'm old and tired and do not particulary look forward to more time passing
>>739093489Yeah, just make a good halo game. It took corporate genocide and a billion dollars just to make a classic-ish Halo like Infinite, but then it still ended up as a rushed game with an unfinished story and unfinished multiplayer
>>739121809I'M WORKING ON IT
>>739093931Maximum Parsimony. A term all you kids needs to memorize.
>>739122152Doing this to you.
>>739094191Why does the chud elf get HRT anons to post shit like this?
>>739121809He's still working on the High Charity mission. I'm still waiting on him to finish the mod too before getting back into Halo. The only thing that gets posted on the Workshop these days are just endless cut-content and Macworld re-uploads
>>739122152hurry up faggotthanks btw
>>739098586I like New Alexandria or Exodus, soft spot for Delta Halo too
>>739122256Tell me about it. It's mostly from the same guy, too.Might as well make a list of actually good, creative mods:>Ruby's Rebalanced (duh)>Cursed Halo>Mercury Rising>Zuka Zumamee>New Covenant>Crash Site>Casemate>HAVOC>Unyielding Threat>Better With Friends>Facility>Solar Flare>SPV3 fuck you I liked it
>>739116014>>739116152I agree with you guys, good points (though I don't remember 4 and I never played 5 or Infinite anyways)
Removing dual wielding from Halo is the biggest grift ever seen in gaming
>>739123193You don't even know what that word means.
>>739123193It honestly only existed because it was cool, with dual needlers and plasma pistol + magnum being the only actually good combos outside of singleplayer on any difficulty below legendary.Which is honestly fine. Shit should exist to be cool.
>>739093489No, times and more importantly people has changed, even you.
>>739094090>1 feels like a much tighter game than 3 or 1.
Dumbass bird.
>>739122906Is HAVOC the one that adds like a fuck load of allies and enemies and vehicles to every map? I loved that one
>>739124910Yeah, dev says it's "like playing a halo wars match but on the ground". It can get absurd, especially with those black needler elites, but that's part of the fun.I really liked it teleporting in marines during The Library, too.
>>739125000Yeah it was fun. I played it co-op with my buddy (we've played a shitton of halo mods together)
>the pictures of fern's hairy pussy getting slammed with condom beltskino!
Marines gotta stop trying to bring their bees into battle. Hives are way too big.
>>739126790Beelo
>>739123193>halo 2 dual wielding rules>hmmm lets instead make it complete ass cheeks in 3. also, make sure you can't throw a grenade, make sure you can independently reload the guns thowhat the fuck were they smoking man
>>739094191uh oh green reddit melty
>>739093489No, because it's owned by Microsoft which is fundamentally incapable of making anything good.The best you could hope for is that people who understand what made Halo good make a game that is in all but name a modernized Halo.
>>739093693Recently played Halo 1 with a bro and that shit did not age well. It just drags on forever and bored me to tears. Halo 2 on the otherhand is such a pleasent whiplash of pure kino that it almost made up for it. 3 was decent but compared to 2 felt a bit barebone. Gameplay wise still a lot of fun.ODST is also my favorite but it's just too damn short. I think the game takes like 5 hours.
>>739093762I remember being retarded and buying an early access MP focused game that came really really close to Halo including really solid space ships and tanks.Retarded devs didn't "want to market the game" because they were "working on it" as their hobby. as you can guess the games is fucking dead thanks to these retards and this was during the FPS MP drought in gaming.

Reach my beloved
>>739096190This. The only people still interested in these are old bitter boomers and these will NEVER replace their old games with something new.But its also fair to mention that for whatever reason devs keep refusing to just release a basic Arena shooter without retarded hero abilities and ranking system
The Two Scarabs Battle was the peak of the franchise
>>739102391>racist elf animewhat racism??
>>739093489No, Halo is dead and has been for a fuckin decade. It'll only continue to get worse.
>>739094345What ODST mods are there?
>>739128627Making demons irredeemable predators that need to be shot on sight even though they can talk and look humanoid breaks faggots minds. You can find some retards on youtube making essays about it.

>>739103072anon i was well aware slipgate was an fps and if one was really a pedantic faggot they could argue portal still is an fps but that's besides the point.The point was about wthether or not slipgate shared the same mechanic as portal i.e the portal gun. Otherwise slipgate just being an fps with portals around the map wouldn't matter a whole helluva alot
>>739099991Piggybacking off of this, the question isn’t what you can do to entice longtime Halo fans; they’ll always be willing to come back. The question is what you can do to attract 15 year olds who have no relationship with the series, and I’m not sure what that would be desu.
>>739127812>Recently played Halo 1 with a bro and that shit did not age well.Halo CE is only good on first playthrough, which is fine since it's a singleplayer game, but I still enjoy it. If you know everything that happens then it diminishes everything. 2 and 3 do not have this problem imo.
>>739093931Grow up.
>>739130780I've had more fun with it on repeat playthroughs.
>>739093489>halotard pretends to have standards
>>739093489There's a reason why Bungie went with a prequel after Halo 3, there's nowhere else for the story to go. They won the big battle and saved the world. Everything else just feels like Microsoft desperately stringing the franchise along because it was the only big brand they had until the acquisition spree.>>739093762>equating Halo to FalloutNV purists unironically need to be put into camps. Absolute whiniest, nitpicking bitches I've ever encountered. They were so fucking sure Obsidian would show Bethesda how it's done then when Outer Worlds busted they had nowhere else to go but eternally seethe with their butt buddy Avellone.Fallout is objectively more popular than it's ever been. Halo is objectively less relevant than it's ever been since the release of Combat Evolve. These are not franchises in similar situations.
>>739131859>fallout merely mentioned>retard starts crying about "NV PURISTS NEED TO BE PUT IN CAMPS"nta but wtf is wrong with you?
>>739131859Microsoft is known for not being able to cultivate franchises. Every time the original team leaves, Microsoft doesn't know what to do so they reboot the universe and turn it into corporate slop not even remotely understanding why the series was loved in the first place. Series dies soon after that. Microsoft's games being shit is just an example of how they never knew how to make a video game or a console, they just brought their way into the industry instead of actually building anything from scratch. Sony may be a third-party machine, but at least they have the same ability as Nintendo and Valve to cultivate a game development when their dumb as bricks western branch isn't copying Microsoft's failed example.
>>739131859he didn't even mention NV, faggot
>>739132061>>739132270At this point I fully believe some random posts are AI/bots
>>739093931and this happened entirely because the halo generation showed the industry you could get away with trash. hilarious that you retards are so oblivious.
>>739101621>space section was garbage.fuck you, i wish we got a space multiplayer mode
>>739093489I think pride is the singular most brutal thing that happened to Halo. between 343 wanting to make their own and "better" Halo. And Microsoft not being able to admit they fucked up picking 343 instead of just putting the series up for grabs.
>>739102391That's the point, there is no link. The premise is somewhat humorous because of how different the two are so putting them together makes this jarring concept that people enjoy.
>>739135791>hatch opens>her head pops off with the hatch because horns stuck
>>739126148erm sauce?
Halo itself I do not think can be salvaged. Instead of giving 343I five hundred million dollars to make infinite, they should have shuttered them after Halo 5, and given ten studios 50 million to make arena sci-fi shooters with a four-six hour campaign to build a seuqel off of if the game does well, and a multiplayer to keep player attention. They're trying to get blood from a stone with them, and 343 just proves again and again that they cannot make a good game if they care to.Anyway, EOD>All.
>>739124678Fuck kiggers. Behead kiggers. Roundhouse kick kiggers in the head. Bodyslam a kigger infant into a garbage can.
>>739097618Clearly you didn't play 3 with friends.
>>739122074Yeah it was a lot of just walking around with your dick out. I wasn't too impressed, it was alright but nothing crazy. I played 1-3 then ODST start to finish for the first time.
>>739136240EOD and Gungnir helmets were peak Bungie Halo aesthetics. Honorable mention to the fishbowl and ODST though that one looks goofy on Spartans.
Halo is pretty great but Half Life is still better
>>739093693Kill yourself now
>>739136240BEAK
Halo’s “original glory” was putting auto-aim into a first person shooter so consoleniggers could play shootan gaems
>>739102391it's just two faggots. But Frieren in particular attracts subhumans who need to inject it everywhere they can. It's a safe anime like S;G that attracts those kinds of niggers.
my biggest gripe with Halo 4 was its weapon sound design. it's so over the top and bad. Fix that, get rid of the Forerunner retcon, and we might have something salvageable. Halo 5, however, is a travesty and should be deleted from existence.
>>739137907are you new to the internet and how people make memes that aren't the same shit 5000x times?
>>739093489ngl I've had the idea of starting a /v/ halo party van on mcc, but I doubt any really cares about halopeople don't really want to play again, they just want to play halo again during 2000-2010
>>739138465Seems to be just a random sperg that decided to fixate on something he hates, he will cry some more. Shit this thread up and then move on thinking he has done the lords work or something
>>739136478>x is good if you play it with friendsstop using this retarded argument.Watching paint dry is fun with friends.That's because you derive your fun from your friends and your intersocial interactions, not because the game magically opened up a ton of fun mechanics in co-op.Halo 1 and 2 are both more fun in co-op, but they're still good fun games in solo regardless.Though i at least think reach is the weakest entry myself, even if it's very fun still.
this fucking sucks
>>739135626Microsoft will admit this because it's what they want. If you look at Halo, Gears, Fable, Battletoads, canceled Perfect Dark, you start to see a pattern. Microsoft gets rid of the talent that made the game then they bastarize the reboot. Only a few come out good like Killer Instinct.
>>739093489You can still play the old games just fine.
Halo was never good normal fags get the fuck out for destroying the FPS genre.
>>739138897is that what you do?

>>739093489I'm just gonna say itFlood missions suck ass and gravemind is a boring villain
>>739093931NTA, but... Who cares? Not everything needs to be a franchise. A story being told, ending, and us not getting a sequel is not some kind of sad state of affairs.
>>739093693That's a weird way to typeODST > 1 > 2 > Reach > 3
>>739141284Gravemind was cool in Halo 2. Halo 3 downgraded the antagonists a lot, especially Truth.
>>739141629>Who cares?Fans of the franchises.No, not everything needs to be a franchise, but I don't see how that's relevant to what he said. He was very specifically talking about franchises that were already established, not some game that he wished became a franchise.
The thing that always bugged me about Halo is how Bungie tiptoed around the books because they knew the majority of players didn't and wouldn't read them. Half of Cortana (the level) in H3 is just a callback to The Fall of Reach despite Halsey, arguably the most important character in the franchise sans Mister Chef, never being mentioned in the games until Reach where it didn't matter because Bungie was fucking off.The most interesting tidbits of Halo were tucked away in the books but they never crossed over into the games yet the games were clearly treating them as canon all the same until Reach, again. The games incorporate without acknowledging in a way which leaves some pretty noticeable gaps within the story's of the games.
>>739142334The expanded material is often silly and contradictory. Sure, it adds a lot of lore, but the original trilogy was a super simple story. It’s the same mistake Star Wars made. Making everything convoluted just to pump out spin-offs and keep the IP alive.
>>739094878>>739098959
>>739142334Bungie never cared about the books, they weren't "tiptoeing" around them they were just straight up ignoring them. Right from very start Master Chief is explicitly stated to be the only surviving Spartan and most of the time it's the books having to tiptoe around the games - such as literally everything to do with Blue Team, who are apparently super duper tight best buds forever with Chief and they're his unit that he has always fought alongside all the time... except these guys were apparently on Earth at the start of Halo 2 and the plot has to bend over backwards to explain why they were completely and utterly absent from the events of Halo 2 (their darling leader Chief completely ignoring their existence is another thing entirely). It thought it was pretty stupid that some people were genuinely surprised when Halo: Reach completely bulldozed the Fall of Reach book because it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Bungie never cared for them to begin with.
>>739143664Bookfags were always mentally retarded, it's a wonder they all trooned out.
>>739143914We tried to warn them, but they just kept reading.
>>739093489HALOWASNEVERGOODcope, seethe, dilate
>>739093489No its been too many bad games that had no business being made in the first place. The brand has been irreparably damaged at this point.
>>739104980They should have had an Invasion variant where ultra curvy fem-spartans vs ultra curvy fem-elites and the assassination animations are sex related.
>>739101621>3>slow moving platform sectionsWhat? Are you confusing it with Halo 2?
>>739093489I said it before in a thread and I will say it again. All we needed was Halo 3 again for the sequels but a bit faster, a bit more accurate guns, a better netcode. On a lesser note I guess also an easier way to use equipment or some improvements on that front. Also no need for the missle pod unless its attached to a vehicle. The game already had a bunch of options to combat vehicles. And no fucking need for all these damn precision rifles/guns. 1 per each faction that matters (UNSC and Covenant only) other than the snipers and the UNSC pistol was enough. That is all I got for now. Halo is dead and ain't ever coming back anyways.
>>739147594>no fucking need for all these damn precision rifles/guns. 1 per each faction that mattersIs that not how 3 was? BR for UNSC and Carbine for Covenant? It wasn't until 4 where we had BR/DMR/Light Rifle/Carbine all doing the same thing
>>739147757Halo reach had the most balanced duo, the BR was broken and the Coventant one made them explode.
>>739147757>It wasn't until 4 where we had BR/DMR/Light Rifle/Carbine all doing the same thingYeah anon this is what I meant. Halo 3 did it right. Halo 4 did it wrong. I do however like the improved pistol with the scope again introduced in Reach. It doesn't need to be as strong as the HCE pistol to me that is just stupid since the BR is a thing. The pistol should work as it was always meant to be which is a sidearm backup. Halo weapon sandbox was a delicate balance they needed to do and I don't think any of the games truly ever perfected it on that front. The audience for Halo can't come back and you aren't going to convince younger generations to get into such a shooter.
>>739094190it's actually comical how they still can't surpass the bottom pic after 25 years graphical fidelity can never fix a bad art style
>>739093489For an IP that has made literally billions of dollars why is it so inconceivably difficult for them to hire an actual writer to do anything really good with the story after the first few games?
>>739130995>Grow up.Says the man posting on a cartoon message board.
>>739149164should have let eric nylund write the story
>>739129190It's a hardcoded limit. AI just go braindead after about 15 units.
>>739093489>halo 1 and 2 are not playable on xbox oneI had no idea. They did that shit to jack off the MCC didn't they. No, I will not play shitty ports of halo 1 and 2.
>>739150189>he bought an xbonelollmao evenI didn't know you people actually existed. I thought it was just a meme.
>>739150297I forgot when I even got it. Barely even fucking used it. It was before xbox decided to put literally everything on PC.
>>739132158>Sony may be a third-party machine, but at least they have the same ability as Nintendo and Valve to cultivate a game development when their dumb as bricks western branch isn't copying Microsoft's failed example.Yeah. You can see that in how Ape Escape and Jak and Daxter were solid trilogies that were left to rest properly instead of shambling along like Halo. I've heard people say that they want old Sony IPs revived and I just tell them about how Microsoft treated Halo, Gear and all other Microsoft exclusive games. and how the Western part of Sony (which is in control of the company now) is essentially Microsoft and that kills that idea for them.
>>739150412That's probably the most honest Xbone review I've ever seen.
You know it's not just that Microsoft doesn't have the skill to bring Halo back, it's that there has been an intentional effort to genocide its fans.
>>739093693lol, lmao even.
>>739150708>microsoft has been trying to genocide 3babs and reachkidsWhy are you giving me a reason to like them?
>>739150870When did I say Microsoft was doing it?They'd love to have that kind of audience back. Or at least those kinds of sales and engagement numbers.
>>739139468this but goldeneye
>>739150708Well it was never Microsoft that was making the games it was 343i but I get what you are saying. At this point I think Microsoft should just hand the IP to id and let them pump out a Halo game. Its not like they would do any worse it would be an improvement I would bet. I know some said the most recent Doom sucked but they've never worked on Halo so why the fuck not allow them to. No way they would do a worse job than 343i now Gaylo studios.
>>739093489>lets remake ce but rebalance the weapons and add sprint for some reason>also we're so incompetent that we fired anyone who could work with our proprietary engine so we're stuck with UE5It's clear no matter how many times they fuck it up they'll never learn.also>no multiplayerlmao
Halo will never be "back" because it was the normie dudebro xbox shooter. It lost that audience the moment Call of Duty turned up on that scene.
>>739151371>Well it was never Microsoft that was making the games it was 343iNo, it was Bungie.
>>739093693>single playerHCE > H2 > Reach > ODST > H3>multiplayerH3 > Reach > H2 > ODST > HCEIts weird how for me the mp is practically the opposite in the rankings. Nothing tops H3 mp but its campaign left the least impression on me. I don't know maybe I found Flood infested earth to be a bit boring. Its more extravagant campaign levels also weren't as fun. I didn't think Brutes were too bad though they were cool although easier overall compared to H2's elites. I pick CE for best single player campaign because it has at least a handful of iconic levels that are so good imo they really are just that good. No levels from later games beats that first half or so of CE. It also has a feel in the engine that none of the games ever were able to replicate.
Hey remember when the normie audience started to shit on Halo for being "kiddie cartoon game" and CoD was the "real shit bro".
>>739151708LOLLMAO
>>739151472lol true anon I was thinking of the 343i shitty games though when I posted that. Nu-Bungie definitely does not have the skill to make a great Halo though.
>>739117957we are made in his image
>>739151736Yea. At no point has 343i had the skill to make a great Halo.
>>739151708I still played Halo (until 4) because honestly being a normalfaggot is the 10th circle of hell. Who cares what literal irrational, unfeeling sheep think? These are the same niggers that STILL watch capeshit 15 years after it stopped being good or at least tolerable.
>>739151984I think they did earlier on when they put out HCE Anniversary and even H4 and MCC. The problem is their leadership has always been garbage people that hated Halo and also Microsoft constantly shifting their workers around as was evident with Infinite's horrendous development. But at least in the 360 days I think they could have put out some good Halo games had they been allowed and also reeled in with some of their shit ideas. I don't like the butchered artstyle of the Anniversary version btw.
>>739093489I'm not a huge fan and just played with friends back in the day, but as an outsider it seems like Halo pretty much ended with 3 but they keep on dragging out the story. Would a prequel set during the original construction of the Halos work?
>>739152178>I think they did earlier on>implying
Book of John 1 1-71 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.>6 There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.
>>739093489Frieren from Frieren's anime.
>>739152178It was funny seeing how halo 4 was kind of still trying to be a halo game to some degree only for them to go full retard and release whatever halo 5 was supposed to be
>>73915250167
>>739094558I played it for the first time just about a year ago, the campaign is pretty good honestly, especially for its age
>>739150495>which is in control of the company nowkek, not anymore, Astro Bot showed Sony the way, Japan won. SIE west is getting gutted is all but confirmed.
>>739153346Zased. I'm not going to buy a PS6 or PS5, but I'm glad Sony of Japan is going geoncide mode on Caliphoney Sony. Frankly, there's no reason to use Western devs as anything but support. They fundamentally do not understand video games and they won't because they are filled from head to toe with people that hate video games. You might as well offload all the menial unimportant bullshit to them while Japan, S. Korea and China actually makes games people want to play (to some degree although Japan is probably highest).I for one am glad the Western gaming industry is dying and being relegated to being the help at best
>>739152501Sorry to burst your "omg 2deep religion" bubble, but Master Chief's name is a Marathon thing.All of CE's "wtf does this mean?" questions are answered by Marathon references.
>>739153731>a Marathon thingLike the marathon that Jesus ran?
>secret level in marathon infinity called "hats off to eight nineteen">bungie tru7h thing they used to do with the number 7>819 divided by 7 is 117Hmm.
>>739153731>halo is the only series they bothered to put relgious stuff in anon cmon on dont be so dumb
>>739121949I agree that the Needler in Infinite is less unique then before (You can spray it even point blank, wheras in past games there was a specific sweet-spot range you wanted to shoot people at), but disagree about everything else>precision weaponsInfinite is less precision weapon dominant then past games. Infinite has a lot, but it has a large sandbox in general, 4-5 also had a lot of them, the ones that are in Infinite feel distinct from each other, and they don't invalidate the non-precision/non-power weapons like the BR/DMR does in 2-4 >The new guns all failedWrong (especially about the Ravager) I review each in depth in terms of their efficacy and how distinct/unique they are here: pastebin.com/bmLxHYaPIf you're too lazy to read the pastebin, Here's a overview:>Top tier, dominant weapons, almost always worth picking up over any other gun: Skewer, Mutilator, Cindershot, Shock Rifle, (Returning: Sword, Fuel Rod SPNKR, Rockets, Sniper, and Grav Hammer)>Great weapons, actively strong but not overpowered: Stalker Rifle, Ravager, (Returning: BR, Carbine, Needler, and Plasma Pistol)>Good weapons, useful and worth picking up, but about average: Bulldog, Heatwave, Sidekick, Commando, Mangler, MA5K, (Returning: AR, Bandit/DMR, Hydra, and Sentinel Beam)>Underpowered weapons, has uses, but not generally worth picking up: Pulse Carbine, Disruptor>Bad weapons, may have some niche but almost never using: NoneBy contrast, for most of the other Halo games most of the sandbox would be in "Bad" or "Underpowered", aside from the token precision weapons and power weapons, and there'd be significantly more of a imbalanced powergap between guns/tiers then in Infinite. Also if I sucked less i'd probably bump up the Commando and Sentinel Beam a tier in Infinite, too>>739116014>>739123031>>739116152Blue Team in H5 is a legit fantastic levelAlso The Covenant > The Ark>>739147594>>739151984Infinite is what you're asking for
>>739117749>>739117957an interesting but not direct comparison would be that the prophets sort of act like the Sadducees and Pharisees of the New Testament who tried to kill off the early Christians after they "opened up" salvation to the gentiles (comparable to learning they aren't the chosen inheritors of the forerunners shit). Only in this version of events the covenant aren't exactly direct converts and in Christianity its not like being jewish meant you couldn't get salvation anymoreIn a way you could compare the Prophets moves of establishing the covenant and using other races to Yemenite Jews in Aksum converting local bedouins and waging war against the Christians in the area
>>739154246All the religious stuff is for the bad guys. Covenant were based on Catholics by the way.
>>739154375>Covenant were based on Catholicscommon mahmud, don't be mad at how Bungie represented you
>>739094558Enough unc, people stopped caring 25 years ago.
>>739147594I want more guns. I want the sandbox to be flooded with guns.
>>739117749>>739117957>>739154356You're reading into shit. Obviously the Flood is named after the Biblical flood and such, but nothing about the UNSC is Christianity coded and the Covenant is more a stand-in for organized religious fundamentalism in general rather then specifically IslamIt's arguably as anti-Christianity as much as it is anti-Islam, but I don't think it's specifically meant to be a criticism of either: It's anti-religious dogmatism, not anti-religion>>739155675Good for you, anon, 5 and Infinite have the most guns in the series
>>739154301>Infinite is what you're asking forNo it is not it is shit

>>739155860Explain what's wrong with it and how it's not carrying on Halo 3's design principals and goals.It's got even starts, weapons, powerups, and equipment on the map, it has only minimal new player abilities compared to H3, it's got better 4v4 map design then Halo 3 did (tho much worse BTB maps), it's got a larger weapon sandbox that's also better balanced with less useless guns and the guns it has feel more distinct from each other with unique traits then Halo 3's sandbox, and it's got a vastly better forge and customs
I love halo.
>>739156306>it's got better 4v4 map design then Halo 3 did >the guns it has feel more distinct from each other with unique traits then Halo 3's sandboxNow you're just lying.
>>739155976While I do fault them for doing that, that's basically the modus operandi for all Western devs during and after the 7th gen . It's not that clones of other games never happened but you can make multiple versions of GoW or Crash or Mario with some twists and a marketable mascot to push units. You can't really compete with something like Halo without doing the same thing (which they often didn't) and without an IP that would support that sort of unique setting (which are few and far between). This is what I mean by Western devs, publishers and execs just being sub par in general: why try to put all that effort into making a poor man's Halo that nobody will buy and instead try and make something that people would buy naturally? It's honestly baffling how these people don't realize how to make decent games on a regular basis, not even good ones in particular. It isn't hard.
>>739156041But even Sega seems to care and remember their legacy given that they're bringing them back. Microsoft just seems to not give a single shit, like at all. Not having people that are passionate about gaming and know how the business works, really screwed Microsoft over in the long run. When Xbox dies, no one will remember it.
>>739156789The map thing is probably somewhat subjective, but I do think Infinite's 4v4 maps are better, they at least have more platforming and skilljumps, which is something I care about a lotBut Infinite's sandbox objectively has guns that are more distinct from one another and that have more unique gimmicks and traits then in Halo 3. That's just a fact.The BR vs the Commando vs the Stalker Rifle, or the UNSC sniper vs the Stalker Rifle vs the Skewer, or the AR vs the Needler vs the Sentinel Beam etc all feel very distinct and don't play that similarly, compared to in Halo 3 where the BR vs the Carbine, the Sniper vs the Beam Rifle, the SMG vs the Plasma Rifle etc are effectively reskins.Also, the only guns in Halo 3 with unique gimmicks are the Plasma Pistol's overcharge and the Needler's Supercombine. Halo Infinite has both, but also has the Ravager's charged AoE shot, the Heatwave/s different shot pattern firing modes, the Hydra's lock on and alt firing modes, the Cindershot's manual guided mode, the Mutilator's doubleshot and grav hammer melee, the Disruptor's DoT effect and shock's chain damage in general etc
Halo was the original gmod (Custom Edition released before gmod), its potential was unreal back in the day but literally none of us understood that gaming wasn't a constant upward trend. We truly thought it was impossible for the line of quality to trend downwards.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eZIwb_PpF8
>>739157085The Stalker Rifle is just a headshot weapon with backpack reloading.
>>739102391Frieren is a boomer who doesn't care to "move on". She will happily live in the past, no worries, and she is extremely racist, like all Halo fans.
>>739156874A lot of Japanese companies at the end of the day shelve a lot of series, but that has more to do with finite financials and internal politics of having people to champion the series at the time. It's the same reason Soul Calibur got SC6 and probably won't have another game for awhile just due to the guy that headed and pitched the games leaving the company soon after.With Microsoft, it really just comes off as people that don't understand the value of their brands 9 times out of 10 and just shelving them because the people leading the company have no real vision. Like I doubt Legend of Azurik was going to go anywhere after the first entry, but shit like Blinx, Halo, Gears, Crimson Skies, the Mechwarrior games, the Shadowrun games and a bunch of other series have been mismanaged into oblivion due to corporate types that can only see in terms of money and don't have any aesthetic or stylistic sense to trust these series with creators or people with an actual vision to realize their full potential ON TOP of Microsoft's near infinite pool of money funding these people to put out this shit. Fundamentally, the Xbox brand killed itself by being too corporate and visionless (something a CEO and other executives should do and do well) and it's a mirror into how soulless and generally anti-creative the corporate world in the West is. Even in Japan or S. Korea or China, there's more creativity going on there compared to the Western media world with all the derivative generic shit in their media. In order for this to heal, these retards need to be replaced with people that actually have some sort of creative goal for their companies in line with what consumers really want, which is almost certainly never going to happen.
>343 fans trying as hard as they could to gaslight everyone how people hated Halo 1, Halo 2 and 3 on their original releases >all that to prove that H4 and 5 are actually a "hidden gems"lol, lmao even
>>739155106>the covenant leaders were envisioned as "an elite in a funny hat" way back during ce dev>whiteboard notes called it spacepope>idea got expanded into making them a decrepit different race instead of elites>they are still wearing papal garments
>>739094589Sounds like ambient music from Breath of the Wild or something. The soundtrack was cool in ODST but Reach was similar if not better. Why people jerk this game off so much has always been a mystery to me
>>739101432>2026 and people still sperging about ReachYou didn't get to play as Chief and it retconned the book that came out 10 years earlier. No, it isn't a big deal. Move on unc
>>739157819It's shit because of sprint and gay ass CoD loadouts, you fucking retard.
>>739157642The other side is just as fucking insufferable too.>bungie fans trying as hard as they can to rewrite history on how those games were 10/10 no complaintsCE got horrible level design complaints, 2 had some absolute stinker levels and lmao that ending, 3 had the writing quality nosedive and was short as fuck, ect.
>>739094558
>>739094558a good chunk of games from 15+ years ago are better than the ones todayt. zoomer
>>739129969Nothing. Halo came about when the average gamer was a white american male, that's why theres so much military worship and MARINES OO RAH type shit in the games. That is no longer a relevant demographic within gaming and no one else wants to see that shit
i've heard a very particular idea for a new halo that i like but i think it would be a hard sell for a lot of people
>>739157947H1>entire library>last act backtracking >last level checkpoints H2>nerfed lightning >unfinished endingH3>Cortana retrieve mission>terminal fiasco which 343 used as their main plot retconThose are my only problems.
>>739157924>muh sprint Imagine thinking you could put out a first person shooter in 2010 that didn't let you sprint. Haloboomers are so fucking gay. No one wants to slowly walk everywhere. And the CoD loud outs is a minor nitpick at best.
>>739093489No.
>>739157523Couldn't agree more, creative people should run creative industries, product people should run product companies, corporate people should stay in their lane, etc. People who have no business running these industries shouldn't be allowed to run in them, especially if there is no passion.
>>739158308Nah, you can go take your shit tier shitposting and blow your brains out.
>>739157313The Stalker Rifle feels no more like the BR then it does like the Sniper Rifle, it's it's own thing in between both rolesThe Carbine, DMR, and Needle Rifle just feel like BR but with slight tweaks>>739157642I'm willing to bet the people shitting on the OT are just doom, unreal tournament, and quake purists, not 343i fans. Also 5 and Infinite's multiplayer and forge ARE good>>739157924Reach didn't have CoD loadouts, that was 4.
>>739157642Insane lifeboat scenarios are always fun to witness.
>>739158448Reach did, anon. Maybe not the same form of customize your own that CoD did, but it had them.
>>739158619It basically didn't for most of the game, the only thing it did was change your armour ability and then in Invasion it had weapons as well.
>>739155731>but nothing about the UNSC is Christianity coded and the Covenant is more a stand-in for organized religious fundamentalism in general rather then specifically Islamoh i totally agree, I just thought there were some interesting unintended historical parallels
>>739093489Original glory meaning captive audience backed by ridiculous amounts of MS advertising.
>>7390936932 > 1 > ODST > 3 > All the shitty slop 343 made > ReachReach is easily the worst halo since it complete obliterated the shoot - nade - melee rhythm of combat with abilities that took you out of the core gameplay loop; the worst offender of which was armor lock. The least fun faggotry to ever grace Halo. 343's slop wasn't too much better though with (((sprint))) and (((clamber))). Talking EXCLUSIVELY about gameplay here. The campaign for reach was decent.
>>739158887
>>739158791No anon. Mayne it changed with new modes later after i quit, but i very much remember launch and being annoyed at weapon options being locked to certain armor abilities and cases of almost never finding some weapons on certain map.If they fixed it, it was long after i swore off the series.
>>739158351But anon, how will these small struggling multi-billion dollar AAA companies grow infinitely and cater solely to their shareholders if they're forced to make a a game that isn't treated like a product but as an actual creative work and actually fun to play, or at the very least interesting in some way shape or form and not worthless from the inception?Our 1000+ man dev team that could be cut down 20-fold to speed up the time it makes the product and improve the quality drastically will starve if it doesn't take 10 years to make 1 shitty game.
>>739158914>Reach is easily the worst halo since it complete obliterated the shoot - nade - melee rhythm of combat with abilities that took you out of the core gameplay loopI can't stand multiplayer reach, which sucks because I really like reach's art style and some of the maps are really inspired. But I cannot being in a gun fight and either getting flanked by a jetpack, having to deal with armor lock, or simply having my enemy runaway from me. At least the hologram is mildly amusing in some form.Armor abilities are almost always poorly implemented, I'd go so far as to say it's the same for Titanfall 2 as well >>739158887I don't think people talk enough about how so many beloved, 10/10 experiences touted by people who grew up on the 7th gen are only so praised because either a 10/10 marketing campaign, or because there was nothing else like it on the 360 or whichever console only had games of that kind. You can see the same shit with other series like Battlefield.
>>739158619Only if you set them up in customs. There were no matchmaking playlists that used the loadouts that way aside from arguably Invasion, but that's it's own thing, I'd say>>739158965I think you're just remembering Invasion
>>739122906I like Ultimate Firefight>What if I threw EVERYTHING into Sandtrap?>What do you mean by ev...>EVERYTHING
>>739093489Halo succeeded because of the environment it released in that no longer exists - the days where people would play couch multiplayer with their friends, and early Xbox Live where people socialized freely in their matchmaking lobbies and there was a sense of community in the game
>>739159114>it's a reach btb match where a guy spawned with active camo and has a sniper rifle
I've never played anything Halo related after Reach. Should I play 4 and Halo Wars?
>>739159221>Should I play 4No>and Halo Wars?Yes
>>739159119I legit had to look up what invasion even was and no, i barely played it. I very much remember Powerhouse as a common map at the time.
>>739157924People always fucking forget that while reach DID introduce sprint to the series, it wasn't a new mechanic that you could use whenever, it was a power up that you had to pick up first, which meant giving up on the infinitely more useful regenerating shield and armor lock. Which is why the game was still designed around halo's original movement system.
>>739159454>armor lockWasn't armor lock on a forced duration that made it super easy to just toss a grenade under your ass with a bit of timing?
>>739159114The 2 10/10 marketing campaigns that come to my mind immediately from that era is for Gears of War and Halo 3.At least the mad world trailer, ect for GoW actually tonally matched the game. Fuck knows what the believe diorama, unsc veteran interviews, landfall, ect have to do with Halo 3 lmao.
>>739159205Reach BTB is fucked because they made the DMR too accurate, letting you get killed cross-map by a starting weapon. Then with vehicles, its bad enough that the Sniper Rifle may as well double as a Spartan Laser, but the DMR also deals rather high vehicle damage, compared to say using a BR in Halo 3 against one - in a game where vehicles can hit 0 health and explode even when the driver still has shields.Like the Banshee can get a surprise kill, but a competent team points their DMRs at you for a few moments and you simply explode, and the Ghost is just useless.Plus the launch maps were way too open. I have no idea what Bungie was thinking with Paradiso.
*ahem*Gears of War
>>7391595952 > 1 > 3 = Judgement bonus mission > Judgement > 4 > 5
>>739159546Pre-patch Armor Lock was busted, if you held Armor Lock for most of its maximum duraition, you would retain the invincibility for an extra moment as you begin to move around, which made getting a grenade off on the guy difficult, and it still forced you to wait around the extra 4 seconds to get the kill.When 343 took over they nerfed armor lock and removed some of the bullshit it could do.
>>739159590>I have no idea what Bungie was thinkingThis is what I think about a lot of Reach choices.>bungie themselves acknowledge that the br from halo 2 and 3 was pretty oppressive and dominated the sandbox>they come up with the dmr as their solution>single shot, infinite range, effectively hitscan>and it now has anti-vehicle capabilities I just can't understand how you go from "fuck, we made the br a bit too strong in those games" and come up with that.
>>739158965You're just misremembering. Weapons were always the same for standard modes except for Invasion and weapon spawns were always on map and in the same location with similar spawning rules/timing to Halo 3
>>739159734I've actually enjoyed first act of 5 with JD (except its retarded ending).Game felt like old GoW for a moment, and then they switched to that girl whose name I forgot.
>>739159734I don’t even remember playing 4 or 5 anymore, I have no idea what they’re about
>>739118749The AI is an absolute menace with the gauss hogs too, i think it depends on the vehicles they're riding. But yes, a tank with 4 marines all using beam rifles and/or rocket launchers is overpowered, they kill shit faster than you do with the fucking cannon.
>>739159971I've dropped 5 halfway through. Thank God I've got it for free by that Xbox handicap program
>>739093489she looks so happy
>>739093931Somehow, Combat Arms is as shitty now as it was when I was a kid
>>739141629well this is a symptom of the same problem that has caused new things to also all suck dickif new things kept getting better no one would give a shit about old franchises being ruined. thats why it hurts so fucking bad. everything new sucks AND they have to go back and take a steaming dump on the forehead of our childhood
>>739093693ODST was pure slop, and I'm glad most people agree with me on that.>>739101718>wasn't that more like Lawbreakers or Portal than anything?It was literally Halo 3 weapons/gameplay but with a portal gun. However since maps had to be designed around the portal gun, it meant map quality was extremely low compared to Halo 3. Also Halo gameplay in general gets kinda boring quick. Only so much fun you can have with a basic shotgun, sniper, and spunker. Devs didn't really 'fumble' like that other retard is suggesting, it just never had infinite staying power like the devs thought it would for some reason.
>>739135330>halo is badif you're around my age and werent spending all night joining one full custom lobby after another shooting the shit with random people in tower of power or cat and mouse, your childhood sucked and you were a retard
>>739159734>Judgement bonus mission???
>>739143504zoomers were either unborn, infants or toddlers when halo 1-3 came out you dumb faggot
bumper jumper should have been the default control schemecrazy how much more fun the games are when hoppin' and slappin' are as quick and intuitive as possible>>739135330this kind of forced condescension doesn't work because your seething loserdom just radiates off of your posts
CE's level design blows outside of TSC and Halo.
>>739094934>since microcock was trying to fuck over linux users and force people into the Xbox Liven't/Windows Gaming 2.0 ecosystem which killed the relaunch.kek that happened? it works fine on linux nowwhat a bunch of impotent trannies
>>739158037You should call Microsoft. I'm sure they could use another ideas guy.
>>739157232God i remember this one horrible custom CTF map where both teams were separated by kilometers of (mostly) empty space, and even the fastest vehicle took 5 minutes to reach the other side. The idea was that your team could fight on the ground using all the cool vehicles they put there (like the giant scorpion thing the covenant has, there were gundam mechas too) while (You) hauled ass to the flag, but they really made the map too big for it, it'd take ages for anyone to run into the enemy, and engaging meant one of you would die and go back to the spawn point, which meant making another long trip to the battleground. Every single game was literally just getting on the two biggest vehicles ASAP and using their field-wide nukes to kill each other over and over again, no one actually captured the goddamned flag.
>>739159574>Fuck knows what the believe diorama, unsc veteran interviews, landfall, ect have to do with Halo 3 lmao.I wish the final product was more like them>>739159454>it wasn't a new mechanic that you could use whenever, it was a power up that you had to pick up firstyou choose your armor ability before every match, arguably it was the worst in reach because it was inconsistent and fucked up timings for those not using it >>739160648>It was literally Halo 3 weapons/gameplay but with a portal gunty for the effort post
>>739094558Been that way for yearsThey even call it an arena shooter haha >>739096190
>>739093489>>739093693I think most armor looked better in Halo 3 than it did in Reach
did anyone else know about the glitch in halo 2 where you do something with the plasma pistol, then switch to the second weapon you have, and anytime you kill someone with it, the projectile actually comes down from the sky and the kill message they got was killed by the guardiansor the one that would let you lock on and swing at someone with the energy sword from across the mapor the super jumpsgood timesi think almost no one knew about that first glitch for some reason but it was by far the most epici loved trolling people in matchmaking killing my own teammates even over and over again and never getting kicked because the game didnt treat it like it was my kill. shit was fucking funny it looked like hacks
>>739160845Nah it didn't. It launched with Reach, and had a bunch of bullshit issues.>going on 60 fps just brought fuckloads of issues (and given it was a 2010 game going over 60 fps really wasn't demanding)>audio was fuckedThe audio depending on the person was either just muffled sounding, or ear rape broken.
>>739161087i got it when it came out on pc asap. i dont remember any of that. do you mean on linux?
>>739161016well yeah reach was after halo 3 and then the devs went on to be a bunch of faggots who made crap like destiny
>>739161087They still haven't fixed that by the way, they fixed all the framerate and graphic issues, but not the tick rate, so by running the game at 60/120 FPS you're making the game 2x/4x harder, it's a lot more notable on the longsword level where the enemy seraphs just fucking rape you in 2 seconds of concentrated fire.
>>739161127Nope. High FPS was an "experimental" feature for awhile.And there was a now deleted blogpost by 343i going into the details of literally redoing all the audio stuff because it was so broken. MCC still has audio problems to this day (looking at you Halo 2 being stuck in mono).
Halo 1 was literally the only good one and the rest were rushed out the ass blockbuster trash pandering to spics and niggers with multiplayer focus to attract Xbox Live paypigs. Hall Combat Evolved was the peak of the franchise and that was because it was developed by Bungie before the Microshit acwuisition. Pic related, every Gaylo fan post 1 after the massive Microsoft marketing.
>>739161298halo 2 stuck in mono? what? theres no way i never noticed thatbut halo 2 is washed out because its the shitty vista port. and im not sure they ever fixed the lack of parallax effects on textures in halo 1i remember it saying the 60fps was experimental but i didnt notice any problems. maybe it kinda stuttered
>>739161016>>739161157Well what I mean is like. Despite having less going on, the armor in Halo 3 manages to be more distinct. The graphics are also just more pleasant on the eyes. But that might just be me.
what's the best armor and why is it security?
>>739161506yes, bungie devs started to get really faggy and retarded after 3, everything started looking more plastic and they had the god awful decision to try to copy call of duty and make everyone respawn with a power weapon basically, the DMR, to make it another gay even playing field hypercompetitive slop game with no strategy, no more trying to dominate parts of the map to get power weapons because you just respawn with one
>>739161594actually this started sometime before reach came out, after 3 was out but they were still releasing stuff for it, when they decided to change the default respawn gun from being the assault rifle to being the BR. though that wasnt as bad as the DMR which was powerful enough to make vehicles almost totally useless
>>739161575fag armor for gay guys. hayabusa with katana
>>739161506Modern military shooters got popular so Halo needed to be serious looking milslop too. Picatinny rails in the 26th century, covered in pouches, random radio bits, ect.
>>739161594You just described Gaylo 2
>>739161575Its the bug visor and the antenna that sell it. Also it had big shoulderpads before Reach gave everyone big shoulderpads.But for me. I will always be a spessman on a spess station>>739161594>>739161640BR/DMR starts have and always will be gay. The only exception is CE where pistol and AR both play with the sandbox really well.
>>739160906Coldsnap? I spent so long sitting in the mountains over the blue(? whichever one was on a platform over the cliff edge) flag point sniping whoever actually tried to capture a flag.
>>739141629You and everyone else who thinks that way, it's because you didn't have a good childhood
>>739162042oh yeah you're right. it was all downhill after the default spawn gun wasnt SMGhalo 3 didnt even have a map like blood gulch. for some reason they had to make valhalla and block the view of the bases from each other so that players would only ever really be in relatively close encounters the faggots at 343 remastered blood gulch/coagulation and did the same thing, put a hill in the middle of the map.and then halo infinite maps were nothing but corridors. why are modern AAA devs such faggots who insist on players being funneled into small spaces
>>739160906Coldsnap, extinction or hugeass.
>>739160730I was doing that on custom 1.6 maps before your balls had dropped niggerfaggot lolNo need for a faggy subscription either
>>739162140nah
>>739162159The good version of this style of map was Downpour or Downfall or something. It had a similar setup to Extinction with one side having all the covenant stuff and one UNSC stuff but with actual effort put into playability instead of just a custom vehicle showcase.
not unless you find a way to time travel 20 years into the past
>>739162176>released in 2003>halo 2 came out in 2004halo 2 blew that shit out of the water

>>739093931getting older and growing up is accepting nothing lasts foreverI have no clue why people are so obsessed with le ebin remasters/remake/comebacks/reboots ad infinitum
>>739094558nobody could've predicted the current state of affairs
>>739163480I don't understand it either. Only "remasters" I understand are ones where it's basically just a port of the original game so that it actually works on modern hardware.Does a good thing stop being good when it reaches X years old in the eyes of the general audience or something.
>>739093693this but reversed
>>739127812>Halo 2 on the otherhand is such a pleasent whiplash of pure kino thatmost subtle halo 2 shill on earthkill yourself
>>739101432>still pretending reach is bad in current yearsis?
>>739157924>CoD loadoutsit doesnt have those, you are thinking of halo 4>sprintliterally, objectively, 100% optional.the entire game can be played without sprint and it plays EXACTLY the same.i love how reach haters simply dont know anything about the game at alllike they heard their friend at school talk shit about it 1 time when it came out and then have held onto what they said as gospel all these years.
>>739161594Compfags hated reach, though>>739162061BR/DMR starts lead to nobody using anything else, but the other choice is AR/SMG starts in 2/3 where you can't engage with players past like 5 feet off of spawn and the first person to pick up a BR/Carbine is untouchable if they don't suckReach almost found a balance with it's AR/pistol starts since the pistolm has a scope again but the DMR was still 2good5 (pre TU) and Infinite finally found a good balance, tho for some insane reason a ton of infinite playlists use AR/BR starts even tho AR/sidekick starts were fine
>>739115654i hate how long odst has been held in high regard simply because "le rain and le jazz"when 90% of the game isnt that.a good chunk of the game looks like this and it fucking sucks
>>739164079I hate ODST solely because it feels so fucking lazy. They took a cool concept (playing as a regular dude) and just did absolutely nothing with it.Yeah great I have more HP than Master Chief, have a weird grenade throw arc and jump slightly less high. I can still punch tanks to death and rip turrets off their mounts.
>>739151684>but its campaign left the least impression on meit drags pretty hard.both the ark and flood missions are too long.honestly(giga hot take) halo 3 would be better if you remove most if not all the flood missions and cut the ark missions in half and then extend the start of the gameadd 1 more mission between Arrival and Sierra 117and 1 between Tsavo Highway and The Stormfor me the vibe of the start of halo 3 is the best part of the game

>>739157675What's the source on that, anon?
>>739162329With your vague answer, you're proving me right
>>739093489Yeah, you hire on, at least, 60% of the original developers from the original 3 games. And give them creative freedom to make a game.
>>739163480>I have no clue why people are so obsessed with le ebin remasters/remake/comebacks/reboots ad infinitumBecause new media sucks
>I loved Art 1, Art 2, and Art 3. But the change in direction with Art 4, Art 5, and Art 6 just didn't vibe with me. Probably because it was made by an entirely different studio, different artists, and different developers than the first three Arts.
>>739161318see>>739160806>this kind of forced condescension doesn't work because your seething loserdom just radiates off of your posts
>>739161318This is so true. You can see the steady decline in the studio and games with Halo 2 and Halo 3.The microsoft enshitification ramped and escalted progressively after Halo: CE. Just imagine if the original Halo: CE development team were assembled today and given the same development-time, and half of the money-budget from Halo 3.We would literally have the best videogame for the next 20+ years.

>>739168363This reminds me of another way Reach slipped further into boring milrealism, the UNSC ship names. The trilogy all used poetic sounding names. Pillar of Autumn, In Amber Clad, Forward Unto Dawn. Even the frigate floating above Sandtrap had Aegis Fate painted on it if you zoomed in with a sniper rifle. The two ships in Reach are the Grafton and the Savannah, absolutely nothing names that would fit modern US navy ships instead of what had been established for the UNSC.

>>739164460I always thought it was it was supposed to be a cable system that could unroll/reel in. So that in space you could always attach yourself to a surface and not drift off.
This thing fucking rules
>>739136240>Halo 3 EOD always gives an intimidating presence. Is very powerful to look at.>Every later entry manages to fumble it.I don't get how they managed to do it.
Reach ruined Halo forever by moving to a COD-style unlock system instead of an achievement-based one. It simply encouraged people to ignore the objective because kills got you way more points. Killing ranked and full-party matchmaking sucked, too.
>>739093489No, what made Halo have its magic, and almost all games for that matter during that time, was that it was created by people who played their own game, knew what they wanted to do instead of games designed by committee and focus groups, and was developed by a tight group who could actually name each others names, without the corporate structure that so many video game studios have nowadays. Any and all future halo games, as does all modern triple A slop will always be based of off market trends, focus groups, corporate check boxes and long term monetisation schemes. The way games are developed now, the way these studio's are ran, and the way they employ people and how you could have floors of people who literally do not know each others names, nor what each others job is keeps the industry from ever making new IP's that turn into genre defining games. Because why fund studios the way it used to be, if you can hire a bunch of uninspired new graduates by the droves and have them work on live service slop x2623, fire them when they get too expensive rinse and repeat. For investors who want constant returns, this is a much better proposition.
>>739093489Halo is the nortubel of Bungie anyway
>>739172125I know this is heresy, but I kind of like Reach's circumcised EOD.
