What’s so great about this franchise anyway
>>741943552Green guy shoot purple guy hur hur
It was the first console fps that didn't feel like shit to play on a controller
You just had to be there. 1 was good but specifically 2 and 3.
>>741943552Nothing. Gaylo was always awful.
>>741943552xboxsharts forever ruining aesthetic/puzzles/atmosphere in video games. Halo 2 might as well be modernwarfare 2 in outer space.
>>741943552The bungie era halo games just had it all.Fun single player/co-opFun pvpand great creative tools like forge and the replay mode343 was never able to capture this so you kinda needed to be there be in the og xbox and 360 days
They were good for their time, i guess.
>>741943552Marketing.
Great world building Fun enemies Good Multiplayer
>>741943631It came out in like 2001 so I'm trying to think of any other games before it did the basic layout of look with one stick and move with the other before halo
>>741945776>Great world buildingThis. I'm going through the Master Chief Collection and this one thing just hits the mark in every entry.
>>741943727>halo>puzzlesholy shit an actual sub 80 IQ nigger
>>741943552I like the books more.
>>741943727It's trying to be Modern Warfare in outer space, you fucking baboon.It's a war game, it should be closer to that than to Star Wars.
>>741943727>Halo 2 might as well be modernwarfare 2 in outer space.Is this your retarded way to say "Halo 2 was the dudebro FPS of it's day"?
>>741945796in n64 goldeneye you could move and strafe with the c buttons while aiming with the stick, does that count?
>>741943552absolutely nothing XSissy fanboys just shilled and propped it up as something to have over SonyChads but it was always mediocre slopsame with stuff like Forza and Gears, they tried to brag about their exclusive lineup but it always paled in comparison to Sony's lineup I don't think Microsoft has ever made a good game now that I think on it they've probably shutdown more studios than they've released games that were good
>>741946617lol you wish Xbox fans paid this much attention to God of War as you pay to their franchises.Maybe then Some shred of criticism would get to Sony to help them improving their garbage.
>>741946306>linear maps>earth level is space iraqFPS genre was done for. Atleast we got FEAR and dead space 1 to make up for halo shitting the bed. Halo 3 was another massive turd.>>741946119>ride the moving platform over the ocean 10 times>shoot npc aliens that drop in during boring sequence>now with snipers to ruin your day on high difficulty>game is boring as hell until you get gravity hammer but ends with stupid boss fightatleast star wars would have better settings/battles then this shit
>>741946749They use lasers and light swords in Star Wars. Conventional wars are impossible with such devices.
>>741943552The mixed infantry/vehicle combat is the best in the industry.
Its fun (to me)
>>741946812Oh and the Force.I like Mass Effect's more toned down power set. The broken characters from Star Wars feel like gods.
Nothing. It was all advertising.4 has a good concept in AI GF and soldier. 4 is the only one you should play. And deserves a sequel. The series essentially starts fromt here. Everything else doesn't matter.
Severan will achieve what his father and Atriox failed to.
>>7419470269/10 you almost had me
>>741943552Probably the first "modern" console FPS which still stands the test of time. Anyone can pick it up and all the mechanics would be second nature
The cold truth about Ellen is that she is a species traitor who betrayed humanity for Atriox.
Simply put, like a lot of experiences, you had to be there to get it. It's why zoomers gets so mad over it even though the series is older than they are.
>>741943552babies first person shooter
>>741947621Halo is a book series.
>>741947696Let's see how well you read while I'm fucking your ass, nerd
baby first game
>>741946816Battlefield 2 BTFO Halos vehicular combat even 2142
>>741947457i was therei wasn't a retarded toddler because i was playing games longer than what the game was in developentunlike your retarded underage ass i know the game was supposed to be exclusive for macit was shit
>>741943552The first game is the only genuinely great oneVery fun story driven FPS with a lot of interesting weapons and good enemy variety as well as a unique setting.
>>741946749>FEARreplayed this again after my initial playthrough and its amazing how uncluttered it is. The melee being just melee and not press f to ebin glory kill canned animation is nice. Combat flows nicely and the enemies reacting to your position is immersive. Also the lighting was 10/10 and is still pretty good even for today.
>>741948020Thanks for proving my point.
There’s an alternative timeline when Halo was exclusive to the PC and Mac and Microsoft never got into the console business.
>>741943552multiplayer, the campaigns were cod tier tacked on
>>741947902this but pc shooter. tried after years of f2p games. then i went to tf2
>>741943552The warthog hard mogs every other optional vidya vehicle
Forerunners were never human.
>>741943552You wouldn't get it meme. Imagine going to a friend on the weekend with 4 XBOX consoles and four big old CRT TVs. You were then able to play local multiplayer matches with 8 people.This was peak gaming. And thanks to CRT better than what most none OLED fags nowadays use. But yeah, you needed multiple friends for that. Can the zoomer brain even comprehend having multiple friends?
I have not the Collection and Infinite I will play them this weekend and report back
>>741946556It also had dual analog support by holding the center grips on 2 controllers.
>>741943552>What’s so great about this franchise anywayeverything ? Halo does everything very well, I'd say it just lacked bots in multiplayer for friendless losers
Should I play>Reach>1>2>3>4>InfinityOr order of release?
>>741943552>Unique SF setting at the time (the ring world)>Unique aliens with funny lines and cool IA>Iconic armor>FPS properly made for console>10/10 musics>Vehicules>10/10 level design for the multiplayer maps>Unique mechanics for a multiplayer FPSCombat Evolved was literally a masterpiece.
>>741955820Reach? That isn't even the earliest point in the series. Halo Wars is set 21 years before The Fall of Reach. It takes place after the first contat with the Covenant on Harvest.No, you play CE first. The game that is set after the first book, the true fucking genesis of the series, Fall of Reach. Then 2 and 3. If you liked those, play the rest. You will understand the order.
It came "for free" with the xbox, or for a small premium.
>>741943552honestly, nothing really.
>>741943552music was good, otherwise it was okliterally all you need to make a good game is good music and ok gameplay/storymusic in games in UNDERRATEDretards will be mad at this post
>>741946816UT2004 moggs
>>741946816lmao consolebabbies i swear
>>741946749>FEARClicking head simulator>dead spaceA braindead RE clone where you only need the pistol to complete the game, also it has no puzzles
>>741945796The major FPS games realeased on console before Halo were probably Goldeneye 64, Turok, Perfect Dark, TimeSplitters and the Medal of Honor series.Some PC ports like Half-Life, Doom, Duke Nukem, Quake...Can't remember anything else rn.
>>741955820Release order, always.
>>741956692>>741956168hmkayWhy is Halo 5 not on steam btw?
>>741956764Don't know, it's shit anyway.Just play Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST and Reach.
>>741956764They fired the people who knew how to port it
