These niggas couldn't get the tick rate right for Master Chief Collection so elites with Pulse rifles melt your face on Legendary because they fire too fast.

>>743840685
>>remake a game that is currently playable with modern graphics in a worse engine
the weird thing is they seem to be using UE5 mostly for graphics. underneath that shit is Reach era Blam engine code. so they reskinned and reworked Reach to play like Infinite with enemies imported from 3 (Flood, Brutes) and weapons all over the place before dressing it in Unreal.

>>743838234
It doesn't look ideal but it's definitely a good game. Infinite was just cope "it looks weird.. I just hope it's good", but this one is clearly solid. Obviously shit like uggo Cortana and Johnson looking and sounding retarded, but right now the only thing that can fuck the game up is the AI.

The only good thing 343 ever managed to do was Halo 4 Cortana, and haven't even been able to do that right.
They did a live stream not so long ago, and one of the devs disconnected. So they all had to leave the mission for him to rejoin. Are you fuckin' serious?
Why not make a Halo 3 remake? Is that because it would require actual work? I'm not even saying I'd trust 343 to do it justice, but what could possibly be the point a CE remake with all it's shit missing, and a remake already exists?

>>743841404
halo infinite is the best game they made by far. most people agree. although the campaign sucked.

>>743838234
Yeah, i was gonna buy this, but then i reconsidered. If your game is gonna be $70 nowadays, it better do more than just a 12hour campaign. I get there’s skulls for replayability, but still. They already took out the MP, at least give me a goddamn horde mode or something geez.

>>743841404
>Why not make a Halo 3 remake?
Because they used this as a learning project to try to remake the trilogy, though plans may have folded internally.

>>743841404
they already confirmed that they are remaking halo 2 and 3.

>Where's the hype?
No multiplayer, forge, or fire fight. Also no dual wielding

>>743841575
They also confirmed Halo Infinite would have a 10 year plan.
Remind me how that turned out.

>>743842170
You can turn off friendly fire in custom games. It's pretty common to do so since CE auto kick players who betray too often and splattering allies is extremely easy.

>>743842180
no i mean they probably will remake halo 2 and halo 3. people buy halo just because it's popular. it may not have staying power anymore but it's a "safe bet." it will turn a profit even if it isn't as popular as it once was.

>>743838782
>wanting the excuse to remove all the forerunner are human plot lines
At this point why even bother, the series has been fucked into the ground three times already. They could make master chief a homo for all I care, I'm never buying a Halo game or book ever again. The only good thing 343 did right was Forward Unto Dawn mini series.

>>743842271
I wish all of the Halo games had an explosives-only friendly fire option.

>>743842172
What's the point? Did they expect to get people who never played halo to buy it?

>>743842180
well, considering all the other new game ideas they were working on have been canned and that Infinite is still getting updates...

>>743839946
They stopped being humans with Halo 4 and the forerunner trilogy books. Now humanity existed along side forerunner thousands and thousands of years before humans even existed in earth. They fought against one another, making the covenant claim that humanity are the enemies of the forerunners true, thus making the war with the humans valid, and later on the forerunner decided to pass the retarded mantle for humanity, for whatever reason.

>>743838234
Its kind of funny how the goofy pirate ship mod for Halo 3 had a better Johnson voice impersonator compared to this new professional VA they're shoving into all the marketing
>>743842309
A what-if Halo 2 remake would be pretty interesting where they follow the original project plan for the game and having the original intended ending that got replaced with Halo 3

I'm just bored and have money so I'll get it, physical on PS5 because I want to add a physical copy of Halo on playstation to my collection, especially since physical is dead in a year or so.

>>743842442
They needed to make a game but suits won't sign off on anything new

>>743842527
>suits won't sign off on anything new
considering 343's track record for "new", I don't fucking blame them.

I remember being a 2000s kid without an XBox 360 who desperately wanted to play Halo, and having to subsist off friends’ collectibles and strangers’ description of what the PVP was like. I eventually picked up the Master Chief Collection, which to this day I think is still the most beloved Halo product ever shipped, and realized that it was always just gay autoaim console shit and that all the worldbuilding was wasted and it literally just shattered everything. The reason there’s no hype is that no one wants to buy a bad game that’s worse than Counter-Strike 2 and costs $70.

>Half a game

>>743843661
I think it's about multiplayer not being included. Say what you want about 343 but H1 multiplayer was ass

>>743843661
it doesn't have the multiplayer of combat evolved. because apparently microsoft and 343/HS wanted to make another f2p separate MP suite independent of their campaign remakes, but that's still kind of up in the air. there's a reason why this remake is $50.

>>743840685
remake/remaster culture is getting so lazy. That's doubly impressive when it was originally always a much lazier way of attaining revenue than actually making something new.
The only headscratcher is how normalfags have learned a lot about dev studios being retarded but still haven't learned that remasters almost always blow ass and their only redeeming quality is if it's porting a game for the first time or fixing issues that make the original a pain in the ass to play on modern systems

>>743842476
The forerunners got psy-op'd into believing humanity was immune to the flood

>>743839429
We've seen their new ideas. They're not very good.

>>743839429
343 needed a simple project to learn how to make a halo game in unreal engine. halo CE is as simple as it gets. this will also be the first halo game to release on the playstation. so they might remake halo 2 and 3 after this as well, hoping to get a new generation of teens into the franchise.

Some actual in-game Cortana lines for the thread:
"Wait... That's the locked door down there. The Marines are waiting on the other side... the controls that open it must be somewhere in this room."

"Alert! There are jackal snipers on the high ground, I recommend you stay out of their line of fire!"

"Warning: I've picked up reports that The Covenant have located and secured The Pillar of Autumn's crash site. The GOOD news is the captain is still alive! The BAD news is that The Covenant have captured the entire surviving command crew..."

These are ALL delivered in the most "He's right behind me isn't he?" way you can imagine. Also Keyes has been recast and now has a lisp.
Also stealth elites have waypoints over them and Keyes can no longer die, even on legendary.

>>743838234

that's every microsoft game, a big reason for ditching their proprietary engine for unreal is that your temp jeets should already know it, so they won't run into the problem of their workers fumbling around in an engine they don't know.

The story was written by Frank O'Connor, he got what he wanted.

>>743845837

>>743846016
Do you really want to sprint around Battle Creek with a nerfed pistol?

>>743846029
That's pretty much because the team actually writing the game for the main story had no actual idea of Frankie's sub-team making the Terminals as secrets with its own lore and crap on the side. So on one hand you got the writers trying to follow up 2's unused ideas in a rushed matter, and the other hand you got the fuckers that would hijack the franchise doing their own thing under the rest's noses.

>>743845740
bluepoint died because they had no IP and owning an expensive american remake studio didn't make sense to begin with. but they're gonna get hit by layoffs if that makes you feel any better

>>743845854
343 dodged the first half of the layoffs because they had this project to ship later in the year. that's the reason why they split the layoffs into two waves, the second wave is dedicated to studios like 343 and the coalition. id was murdered because they had just finished TDA's DLC and their next game was another five years off.

I keep hearing this argument and as someone who has played hundreds of hours on legendary, every single gun is useful, you are just playing like a sweaty tryhard and angry that the assault rifle requires applying chip damage rather than causing massive damage.

>>743847517
It's effectively trying to start a new building block foundation over since contractor hell led to no one understanding how to program anything for Halo Infinite anymore. That's why future game enemies and items are here ahead of time and why it's using Reach as a new baseline instead of just packing more on top of the 4-5-Infinite pipeline.
