It won't even sell 1 million copies.But 343 STILL won't go the fuck away.Any other studio man...
>>741617642it's one of the most preordered games on PS5it will sell 3 million on PS5 alone lol
>>741617642It's Halo, it's OBVIOUSLY going to have decent sales at least. It's one of those franchise which never really had bad sales
>>741617916Jesus. Are snoys really that dumb?
>>741617965That was before it was shit for 16 years straight
>>741617976Yes, they/them/xer are.
is halo infinite multiplayer fun?just noticed it is free wtf
>>741618024It is very fun but nostalgia tards will say otherwise. Sadly there aren’t too players and with not match chat or post game lobbies the game just feels lonely. I’d give it a go for a bit since it’s free.
>>741618024No.
Honestly weird they don't even have a basic multiplayer mode (excluding co-op), even if it be just a few map of deathmatch, do they want to keep players on Infinite? Even the remaster had basic multiplayer.>>741618007even the worst Halo sold well
>>741618106>It is very fun but Halo fans will say otherwise. Anway, i'll now outline why its shit...
>>741618106>grr stupid nostalgia tards fuck off>wait, why don't you guys want to play the game?>...come back... please....
its on game pass so theyll excuse any poor sales away with that.itll sell like 4 million anyway though
>>741618164Yeah. But that was Reach and that was literally 16 years ago>n-no what about 343 ga-HAHAHA
>>741618170>>741618197Go back to MCC, oh wait…the only game people play on that is reach. Sad :/
>>741617976>>741618021https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/forza5-5million-ps5Forza did 5 million on PS5 at full priceYou don't think Halo will easily beat those numbers?lol
>>741618220Yes, even the games after sold well. that includes 5.
>>741618197They don't want us. The women over at 343 are now trying to court Snoys. But yesterday it was revealed that on PS5 multiplayer will require a subscription.Its honestly hilarious how fucking stupid women are.
>>741618262?That wasn't the own you thought it was lol
Infinite is bad because it has le s-sprint! It changes muh f-fundamental gameplay!! Huh what’s that? Dual wielding? Hijacking? Equipment? EMPs? Detachable turrets? Boosting in vehicles? Health pack removal? Those are all fine because they came when I was 14…erm I mean when halo was good.
I was a cod kid and I thought halo was another cool shooter but I never splayed it untill the master chief collection came to PC and holy shit it sucks I can't believe there was a rivalry
The remake is weird because even though they are saying it's super faithful, the design don't look very faithfulFaithful remakes exist (MGS3), creative remakes exist (RE), this feels like they want to do both without mastering at anything.
>>741618363Since when were Gen Alphoids on 4chan? Get outta here kid. You don't even have hair on your nuts.
>>741618262Wow. Now this is fucking embarrassing.
>>741618445tbf, MCC is mixing people from 6 different games, Inf is only one game. it make sense MCC has more players.
>>741618024It's gay and lame. The unlocking system is atrocious. You can't even freely choose your color!
>>741618356It means you’re a fucking retard who thinks all new halo games should just be halo 1-3 again and again but you’re too arrogant to realise that even that won’t sell, because when given the choice to play all the classic halo games, everyone seems to go for the worst feeling one to ever exist outside halo 4. Meanwhile infinite’s gameplay was beloved at launch before 343 fucked up everything by not fixing bugs and providing a steady supply of updates.Cue the cope about how ‘erm actuallysprint drove all the players away :\’
>>741618421You must be new.343 have always resented gaving to make Halo. If they had their way it would be an entirely different IP.
>>741618484>this cope
>>741618432Better than not having hair on my head
>>741617976Anon, what are the Playstation's "big" AAA FPS options that aren't a F2P shooter right now? Marathon, Call of Duty and Battlefield. They're basically starved for shooters that aren't yet another over-the-shoulder game or yet another hero/extraction shooter.
>>741618506isn't there more people from the OG team at 343 than at current Bungie though? It's probably not a majority anymore as it was at the time of 4, but there's probably still some people who worked on the original games there
>>741618445Now remove the reach players and shows the numbers
>>741618495>halo should be haloYes?
>>741618570What’s halo? Because 1 to 3 are all very different games.
>>741618527You don't have hair on your head? Damn bro you sound smooth
It's baffling they are not having a multiplayer, even if it be a basic thing or something different.Removing such a core part of the game while keeping a premium price is absurd. even if there was a lot of effort, the game isn't big enough to be this pricey.
>>741618538>not KillzoneThis will never not be funny
>>741618550No. 343 had a hiring practice of blacklisting former Halo devs.Even Marty got shunned.Spiteful women man.
>>741618645We dunno what's going on, but initial rumors indicated that HS and Xbox have sort of a weird plan: trilogy remakes if this one does well enough to sell the campaigns but with learning UE5 in the process (and probably UE6 by the time of H3), while a separate F2P multiplayer gets shipped out along the way ala Infinite to draw in the MP crowd. Now that both sides are diving for exclusivity again I have no idea what might happen in the future, and there's no small chance such plans are long scuttled or getting fucked up in the recent "reset", but at the very least Campaign Evolved is INTENDED to be a side project and step stool.
>>741618596No they really aren't
>>741618729>joe statenyeah nah man
>>741618645>Removing such a core part of the game while keeping a premium price is absurd.Women.>even if there was a lot of effort,There wasn't.
>>741618750HS?
>>741618729Why would they do this? When you have a franchise which lost it's original team, it's important to have veterans of the original team to keep things in check and to reassure players.It's okay to have new people but they need veterans to keep things in check at first.Capcom got that, Square got that, hell,, even Konami got that when they made a new Metal Gearwasn't Marty removed more due to being an asshole though?
>>741618854Halo Studios, aka rebranded 343. Because they wanted to pretend it's a fresh new start and ditch the increasing brand poison that they'd accumulated after naming themselves after a goddamn villain.
>>741618756Yes they really are.Does halo 1 have hi jacking? Does it have duel wielding? Do the vehicles boost? Does the AR function the same in that game as in the sequels? Does it use the same health system? Does it have equipment? Does it have detachable turrets? Does it have the same artstyle? No. No it doesn’t to any of these. So how are halo 2 and halo 3 halo games?
>>741618790One guy, as a last ditch attempt to get fans back, after HI was basically finished
>>741618860>Why would they do this? Women.
>>741618870I will continue to dead name 343 and you should too.
>>741618887Dont forget they fired him after he finished bailing their stupid ass's out
Is buying this utterly retarded?
>>74161887>Retarded Gen Alphoid doesn't know what a core gameplay loop is.>Doesn't know what consistency is.Just say you like Halo 4 and post your contrarian blogpost already.
>>741619021if it was 40 I would consider, but the current price is too high without any multiplayer, not even a small gimmick thing
>>741618756Fundamentals may remain enough that the Tags for items and enemies are notably interchangeable besides depreciated features, but the amount of shit that goes between each of the three games is pretty substantial even if the average person doesn't really care to notice it. H2 is so fucked up from development that handfuls of botched assets carried over and the tags would be the only way you'd recognize shit carried over from the first game, and 3 pretty heavily rearranges and rebalances so much that it's pretty much a different beast from the noob combo nightmare of 2.If you're just looking at the surface level it's pretty easy to go "yeah dats halo alright" but even playing each game is more different than how a number of CoD games were almost identical til the Advanced Warfare years.
>>741618960Oh yeah.Man.Fuck 343.Never forget what they took from you.
>>741619021Yes.
>>741618024 Yes. I recently put in 80 hours after the last Xbox showcase. Its multiplayer is a solid halo experience. Course you'll get thrown into matches with a 4stack of no lifers who have been playing since launch but genuinely, its fun. Don't give a shit about cosmetics and just play. It's been an incredibly meditative experience.
halo 2 was peak
Combat Evolved was my first Halo game on PC. Never cared for the SP, but MP was great. Looking back, Death Island was my favorite map. Too bad this is just the campaign.
>>741618024It's Halo but without player collision, a couple lackluster guns like the worst shotgun in the series, and some odd-feeling differences from prior titles. In terms of just going PvP match for match or running Firefight if that's your taste, it's pretty much the epitome of perfectly fine, just not super special or standout. Really, its biggest problems are that the PC port is kinda trashy with super aggressive TAA you can't turn off and shader fuckiness, and that it's now a maintenance mode game because Microsoft hiring policies fucked its development super bad and then they checked out when it wasn't making big returns.If someone had to get a Halo fix quick and didn't want to wait for the MCC on sale, you could do worse, you just wish it could've been better.
>>741618421It's only faithful when they don't want to add a feature.
>>741619086The health system alone completely changes how you play Halo 1 compared to the later games. You're way tankier in that game to make up for needing to find health packs.
>>741618307No, I don't.
>>741618421>The remake is weird because even though they are saying it's super faithful, the design don't look very faithfulIt's not faithful from the word go, really. They used Halo Reach as the basis. You see it in animations, in AI, in the overall functionality of everything. Maybe the "story" is what they mean, though god only knows what the terminals might try to do, but we already know there's a bunch of new, hand-holdy and exposition dialogue added from Cortana in Assault on the Control Room. But in terms of gameplay this thing fundamentally can't be a faithful remake because it's using an entirely different basis. Anyone that played Reach can tell you easily that it's no Combat Evolved.
>>741620241You can turn Reach into Combat Evolved with enough effort, but they will never exert the required amount of effort.
>>741620241In 2011 they ported CE multiplayer maps to Reachin 2026 they are porting the campaign maps
>>741620241I only play for she and they got rid of her
>>741617642343 is so assTook them how many years to import assets from infinite to ue5Took them fvr for infinite for the game to die bc no contentEveryone working on Xbox games now just loves to drag their feet
>>741620384Women.
>>741619086Erm, that doesn’t align with my narrative so you’re wrong
>>741617642Reminder that "play as guest" has been a thing since the ps4 era and perhaps even the ps3 one, there is no reason for local co-op to require TWO ps+ subscriptions other than pure corporate greed.
>>741620292Instead they tried to make it play more like Infinite. It's about as far removed as we can get from CE at this point. It's like a whack ass mod pack someone hired that man on and slapped into a later game, with Brutes and Flood imported from H3 for behavior on top.
>>741620384remember when that 343 employee had a meltdown on twitter over ukraine/russia as an excuse why they couldn't get shit done. it's crazy how much grace these retards are given by some of the biggest corporations in the world lol.
>>741620519Because it doesn't.
>>741620634If 343 were any other studio they would have been shut down a decade ago.Why the fuck do they still exist?
>>741620859Microsoft favoritism in a literal attempt to have one star primary team run their big headliner franchise. It's not like they've gone unscathed, considering they've lost the majority of everybody they ever had and cycled out retards pretty hard, but then they put more retards in charge right after. It's quite literally Xbox just being too stubborn to change as a brand to try to unfuck the mess.Though I imagine 4 and 5 sold respectably enough that the people who loathe 343's existence greatly underestimate how they did. Halo 5 made five million copies in 3 months for 2015, never mind the lootbox shit, and it was still considered not as profitable as Microsoft wanted it to be.
>>741617642How many fucking times do they need to remaster/remake Halo Evolved? This is just getting tiresome.
>>741620819You're telling me all those OP's I saw two days ago claiming this was the case were all lying sacks of shits?
>>741618024Nope, the Unreal engine slop becomes really apparent when you play it. The janky graphics, the janky gameplay, everything just sucks.
>>7416210547 times
>>741617642HALO 1 single player is extremely mid, most of the game is the same corridor copy pasted 50 times.
>>741621107But enough about DOOM
>>741621107>like 10% of the game (still alot)>mostbtw 343 will not be fixing this
>>741618495>but you’re too arrogant to realise that even that won’t sellI don't really care about sales. I don't own Micro$oft stockFrankly I doubt you do either.
>>741618307LOLFuck noThe Halo franchise has been shit for longer then most current PS5 players have been alive. And the older ones who know Halo won't spend a dime on a 343 halo. The fact that Halo Infinite, a free game, consistently did shit numbers AND you are required to have a fucking PSN account and can only play it online with others and not co-op means this shit is DOA. Nothing about this was thought out well on any level. If this thing costs more then fucking FREE it's going to do piss poor numbers.
Is Halo even popular anymore?
>>741621446no
>>741617642I might buy it on sale. But I am not the least bit excited for an over saturated version of a 25 year old game
>>741621236>>74162126310% of the game ISNT copy pasted.
>>741621087they changed their tune 24 hours later
>>741621542Why'd id do it bros
>>741621446>>741621497thank god its no longer popular.HALO pretty much killed the FPS genre for almost 20 years.
>>741621552>Local splitscreen co-op requires a PlayStation account for each playerThat’s already way too much work just for fucking splitscreen
>>741617976they're finally getting A game, what did you expect?
>>741621607Halo infinite plays closer to the top
https://arch.b4k.dev/v/search/image/KkHnjVFwXyCNHvmXUjGhrQ/Genuine question.Why are Halo haters so mentally ill and pathetic?
>>741621607never liked these spastic PC shooting games where you fly around
>>741621936They wanna fly but got no balls to go full 6dof
>>741621862Because despite all the chungus blustering. Halo is so good that even talking about it is more fun than playing most other shooters.Hence why their fans are always in our threads hugging our nuts instead of in their own threads or playing their games. QED.They will sit here for hours talking about Halo, thinking about Halo, debating about Halo, showing their gameplay footage of Halo. Anything but doing anything else know what I mean?
>>741621862You've never disproven it.
>>741622502True. I can never disprove that Halo haters are extremely mentally unwell because the evidence is overwhelming.
>>741622632Yeah, Halofags are all mentally sound individuals.Just don't look at /hg/.
So how's the gameplay? anyone tried it?
>>741621396>Nothing about this was thought out well on any level.Women
>>741621552In 16 years I have literally never seen 343 accomplish something. These foids couldn't even do a fucking q&a
>>741621607Oh hey Strafe Fag. God damn this board has a small population
>>741618550A few, like the oen that was recently let go, but none of the well-known ones (Jamie greissemer, Paul bertone, Marcus Letho, Paul russel, Marty, etc) stuck around, even at bungie for that long after. For some reason 343 put the bald fuck community manager as the head of the studio and let him inject his cancerous fanfiction into Staten's established story. Jason Jones was an unfocused mess once Seropian left and was no longer there to tard wrangle him. The others did what they could I guess, but he dropped them all later.
>>741617642I'm going to buy 1million copies to prove you wrong
>>741624376long time halo autists can observe the gameplay reveal footage and determine that it's running off of some iteration of the Halo Reach engine - probably just Slipspace from Infinite. UE5 is basically only used to handle the visuals, the actual gameplay is identical to Halo Infinite.
>bungie and id software at hells gate>343 persists
How will they woke it up? Aside from censoring Cortana of course.
I'm literally praying for 343's downfall
they couldn't even get the look of the halo ring itself right without adding an insane amount of superfluous detail that ruins the design and makes the scale of the entire thing questionable, who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
>>741617642I can guarantee over 1 million Gen X uncs like me will buy it
>>741618445the cost of pc ports. Xbox players had no choice but to play halo and gears but now that they moved on to pc they can play something else
>>741618024dead game so youre stuck playing against hero ranks >>741621089Its not unreal, its a heavily modified bungie blam engine.
>>741618421The idea of a real remake of CE kind of interested me, because of the potential lore things that they could have added, like showing the Autumn fleeing Reach (which should have been the bonus missions), or maybe showing Arbiter leading the Covenant fleets and acting as an antagonist operating just in the periphery (tying it in more closely to 2), but from everything I’m hearing, it’s going to be another ball-less 1:1 recreation intended to be an easy cash-in win, like The Last of Us Part 1 or MGS3. I’ve already bought CE four times across multiple releases, so unless you’re going to mix it up, I’m going to pass. I’m done being a part of the problem.
>>741617976Yes for all their talk they are really just salty that mommy bought them ps3 instead of 360 and sunk cost left them stuck with sony.
>>741630029As a kid, I chose a Genesis over a SNES for my birthday purely because of the MK “Blood Code”, being able to play as a velociraptor in JP, and because I just thought Sonic was cooler than Mario, and I spent the years since regretting that, every time I went to my cousin’s house and played Turtles in Time, or playing Donkey Kong Country at my neighbor’s.
>>741630270you missed out on a lot of cool sega games by being a retard. I guess you were destined to be a nintendo fanboy
>>741631484To be fair to the guy the Super Nintendo was the goat. When mine broke down and I had the choice to buy an N64 I got another Super Nintendo then later a PS1
>>741631484>t. sweatpants wearing playstation kid who never had a sega
>>741631881no one cares about your feelings shitendo loser. Go back to your containment "sales" thread
>>741618106>It's fun but there aren't too many playersWow you must be the only special snowflake who can see how Infinite is actually good instead of a steaming pile of garbage.
