Because of Halo Reach.
>>744237738the retards who made the good halo games barely understood why their formula worked, you expect a bunch of non gamer whippersnapper cost optimized hires to somehow get it and then replicate them?
>>744237738Remember when games were good?
>>744237962videogames were never good. go outside, work, contribute to society, touch grass and fuck real women
>>744238012>go outside, work, contribute to societyNah fuck that.Society can contribute to me first.
>>744238012
are the first 3 halo games actually good if I have no nostalgia and just want to play the campaigns and will be doing so singleplayer
>>744238012>this thing was never good so instead you should do all this other shit that was also never goodgood bait you got me you double nigger
>>744238012*this message sponsored by Israel“A real man would enrich Mr Bergstein!”
>>744238126Not being a Halofag at all, but playing Halo 2 for the first time which came out the same time as HL2, Halo 2's vehicles are so much better than the dog shit ones in HL2.
>>744238126yes. if you're bored then bump the difficulty up one. halo is one of the rare games that doesn't just jack enemy HP and damage up, it messes with their behaviors and aim instead. like whole AI routines open up in heroic/legendary. give em a spin. MCC is good, don't use remastered graphics on halo 1 though for the love of god.
>>744238012The reason why the Jew needs you to believe that the past was never good is because they’ve become incapable of even creating good bread and circuses.
>>744238057no one likes you though
>>744238126Play Halo 3 first on Heroic then consider playing the others if you like it.
>>744238271Legendary is horrible. Don't play it on that unless you find yourself really cracked.
>>744238332This doesn't make sense. Don't do this.
>>744238126>>744238347yeah lol heroic is probably far as you wanna go first play, especially for H2.
>>744238331>no one likes you thoughSounds like a societal problem.
>>744238442Its the best one, seriously. If he doesn't like 3 he won't like the series.
>>744238561i think you can determine that by just playing the first game and not spoiling yourself of the incremental upgrades the series gets.
>>744238470>especially for H2.For H2 I would say its best to play that one on normal first time with how bad flood + brutes and high charity are.
>>744238271>>744238347CE legendary is goated once you get the hang of the game. 2 kinda loses it, and 3 is too easy
>>744237738>DUNDUNDUN DAAAAADADUNDUNDA DAAAAA>AAAAaaaaAAAAAaaaaAAAAAAAAHHhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePLDO68lcA4
>>744237738Turns out it's a really hard thing to make.
>>744238590I don't know, anon. I played CE and didn't feel like going through the rest of the series. Then I played 3 and decided to actually go through everything. Bungie really did improve on CE. But also, yes, he should probably try out CE first but if he doesn't care for it he should move on to 3.
>>744238347It unironically is, but Im also cracked and love doming every grunt and jackel with a BR/magnum and then sneaking up on the elite enemies left and hitting them with my pp and magnum
>>744238767that's why I also mentioned bumping up the difficulty. H1 on PC as a modern competent gamer really doesn't get fun until Heroic and up when the enemies get really interesting.
>>744239046Id needle 2, if you know what I mean.
>>744239046all the spartans are way too caked up. gyatt damn.
You absolute fucking smoothbrains are crying about modern game devs while your entire life peak was getting teabagged by a 12-year-old on Blood Gulch. Games were always mid, you just didn't have bills yet.
>>744239273See >>744238291Your Hebrew nonsense has no power here. Begone.
>Dead Space bombed>MGS Delta bombed>REmake4 bombedYou don't want a faithful remake. You think you do, but you don't.
>>744239273>while your entire life peak was getting teabagged by a 12-year-old on Blood Gulch.OG Halo CE didn't have online multiplayer lmao but that would be peak and soul
>>744238126Yeah it's one of those games that you really feel like you are in a sci fi action movie. If you like the trilogy and have the time I recommend the entire saga as well especially Halo 3 spin offs, and Infinite despite the backlash has a really fun campaign.
>>744237738It embodies things like masculinity, and how war is cool, and that the best thing a female has to offer is her body-- all considered toxic ideas by the HR departments that have taken control of the industry since 2014.
>>744239273i booted up ut2004 the other day and had more fun in that hour or so of playing with homies than i've had playing any video game in the past 10 years. quit projecting your stupid bullshit into the thread you sad, sad man.
>>744239173Their armor weighed 317.5kgs, 700lbs. And they could all jump 10 feet in the air with that+their caked up body weight. That much cake is basically what lets them produce enough Dv to accelerate as much mass as they have enough to reach a 10m altitude with a standing jump. Theres a lot of games that add phat asses for appeal, but here it was just the answer to a simple physics problem for Spartan-IIIs
>>744239442>You think you doNo I fucking don’t. Remake culture is gay and retarded. Even if it ends up good, it would have been better if they made something new. Good games don’t need to be remade because they were already made and were good. Classic films, books and albums don’t need to be remade, and everyone accepts that. But for some reason it’s different with games.
>>744237738Its simplicity made it good and these dumb niggers just keep trying to make it more complicated. Also the people that created the world of halo were nerds making shit they thought was cool, now it's posers desperately wanting to be nerdy.
>>744239648
>>744239654source ports are aight tho. patching in support for modern systems and networking capabilities? based. changing literally anything about a game that is good? unfathomable cromagnon behavior.
>>744238012I do all those but vidya gaems are my escape from it
>>744237738Not a single person making them spent even 10 minutes playing them so it's all surface level understanding of what Halo is.
>>744239046Spartan bunda
>>744240175>oy vey
>>744238331i like him
>>744237738Modern developers literally don't know how to make games like that anymore. Look back at that live talk thing the Splitgate devs did about how they wanted to make good FPS games 'like the good old days', but then went to make a dogshit live service that got 'unlaunched' shortly after.It's like lost technology at this point
>>744241636>games like HaloSlop?
>>744241764Your meme image isn’t catching on.
>>744241764>old gamesvs>not as old gameswhat is this image trying to convey?
goddamn
>>744239442Nobody wants remakes.
>>744242000retarded boomer meme and probably made by someone who isn't even a millenial
great things seem simple but actually it requires intelligent and competent people
>>744237738this guy gets it
>>744242136True, I remember buying return wolfenstein from the bogo bin at gamestop and it was shovelware. Meanwhile, WoW and TLOU are in the same group. Grouping FEAR and HL1 together when they were ages apart? I mean, c'mon.
>>744242000I'm still trying to figure it out. He has Fairly new games in the right like The Last of Us and some random Zelda but no Zelda on the left. Come to think of it, left is all PC games, and all games besides Zelda are western made.
>>744242136It's a sharty zoomer doing it. He's not gonna stop sadly. It's one of the worst feelings in the world when games you love get associated with some brown schizoid spammer.
Reality check: games are just as good, you're just desperate to rerurn to your childhood.
>>744238663based. fuck the autistic clown skins.
>>744246007I barely played any PS2 games as a child and yet a lot of the ones I play now are more fun than most modern games.
>>744237738Because if they made a simple game in 2026, you'd call it unambitious and outdated. That's why even the boomer shooter craze is full of hooks and gimmicks
>>744237738Is this series even worth getting into? What can you find in, say, the first 3 Halo games that you can't find in any other shooter?
>>744246007>play new game>dont have fun>play old game>have fundunno man maybe youre just gay
>>744246491The integration of vehicles and the heavy use of mixed units that dynamically and intelligently work together is something you still don't see in a lot of shooters. The atmosphere and locales are also breddy cool, if you can stand the level reuse of the first game
>>744238012Shalom.
>>744237826Reach really did fuck it all up.
>>744246491>decent AI>well rounded weapon roster where almost everything has a place and purpose>cool style>good sound track>fun vehiclesIt's like FEAR if it were made in 2001 with gun trucks and aliens.
>>744241764Fear belongs on the right.

>>744238012You took all those things away from us though Mr. Shekelburg
>>744237962they still arestop being obsessed with AAA shit
>>744246491Enemy AI is extremely intelligent. It and the music is where all the budget goes. Bungie lore is interesting too, lots of books to keep you interested for about 6 months. If you like stuff like Battlestar Galactica, Star Gate, or the likes its another to add to the pile.
>>744239648lel
>>744238126>are the first 3 halo games actually goodnot really
>>744246491>weapon design and purposeevery gun has its use, for example, plasma pistol charged shot instantly take down any shielding, the "lame" handgun having extreme accuracy and damage for headshot, or needler firing enough needles on a same target cause explosion>enemy AI and action it actual takengrunts will run away cowardly if the elite leader is taken out, even the lowliest grunt can actually kill you with grenade that and also laugh at you for it, enemy actually taking cover and coordinate attacks and lay suppressing fire, stealth enemy actually attempt to sneak up on you, throwing grenade will scatter the group, more surprisingly if the thrown grenade is not seen the enemy won't take evasive action>fun vehiclesquite wobbly in the first game but improved a lot starting 2>simple enough gameplay yet can be punishingit's just run and gun but coupled with enemy AI above, you can still die to grunt in easy modeat the time of original release, these are all phenomenal features, and it still holds up in MCC
>>744252050Boomer shooters did these but better
Don’t worry fellas. 7th times the charm.
>>744237738Halo was "what if we make a very bland console fps very competantly" and they can't into competancy anymore
>>744237876>the retards who made the good halo games barely understood why their formula workedIt's actually really funny how true this is. It seemed to be only Jaime who had a real grasp on it because the first game he had no involvement with (Reach) is when everything started to shit the bed in terms of basic fucking gameplay.
>>744241764in retrospect wolfenstein series is literally a jewish gore porn game where they can jerk off how le evil the Nazis were and try to dehumanize them like they do with Gaza children before the kill them.
>>744253621I thought they were going somewhere interesting in TNO with portraying BJ as equally monstrous to the Nazis... but I guess they dropped that for TNC because of 'reasons'.
>>744237826>>744253498What kind of shit are you smoking? Reach was easily the best game since 2, the basic gameplay was the same as CE but with the Halo 3 abilities. Meanwhile 343 decides to ignore pretty much everything that came before with that left turn abomination that calls it's self Halo 4.
Yeah Reach was so bad, 343i is still relying on it 14 years later literally copy pasting its gameplay and systems onto their new games.Dunno what's the worst part. The irony of 343i actively shitting on old Bungie going as far as removing the credits from the MCC and any mention of them, retconning the old story to replace it with their bullshit while still relying on their work, or their inability to produce anything good and new on their own 14 years later.In any case, what a bunch of sad, incompetent retards.
>>744238126This is a stupid question. The people who played them when they released had no nostalgia for them and thought they were pretty good.
>>744254117Halo 4 is just Halo Reach 2. Armour abilities, sprint, you name it and it has it. 343s big problem is that for whatever reason they decided to build off of Reach and not 3.
>>744237738They can't even make the game SAVE YOUR KEYBINDS. The top 1/3rd of "Halo Studios" should be literally executed, absolutely retarded incompetents.
>>744238126I'd says yes still the best SCI-FI story in vidya, next to ME 1-3.
>>744254117Nta but no, reach was definitely the worst. I’m not even one of those autists who hates it because of the armour abilities. The enemy AI behaviour, the shooting, and the weapon balance feels off. Elites are too bulletspongey and melee you in 0.2 seconds without telegraphing their hits. Dancing around them and meleeing them was a big part of what made the prior halos fun and it’s just completely gone here. You basically aren’t allowed to play the game without a back pocket plasma pistol because of them. On top of that the DMR has such ridiculous range and does so much damage against vehicles it shits on every other gun more than precision weapons ever have in halo. The sniper is also completely retarded. Like the DMR it shits on vehicles effortlessly but is basically useless against elite shields. It makes no sense. The AI in general is just not very good. Try to get a marine to drive a warthog for you competently is impossible. They were better at it in halo 3. Also with how bullet spongey the elites are you’re basically incentivised to try and assassinate elites which isn’t that hard once you clear out the grunts that surround them. It sort of trivialises the game to an extent. And don’t get me started on the dogshit brutes man. Why they even bothered with them is beyond me.
I never played Reach simply because I found out it wasn't about the kino as fuck book and was some bullshit donutsteel spartan 3 bullshit. Then I saw the cutscene of the pillar of autumn launch horizontally from the planet surface and I laughed my ass off.
>>744237738Good OP
>>744254760>Halo 4 is just Halo Reach 2.Sure, if you ignore everything literally besides the copy and pasted engine because 343 only coasts off the last iteration of Budgie's engine. I literally just played 4 after playing Reach for the first time and the drop in quality could not be more noticeable.
>>744255770>4tard contrarianism intensifies
>>744249153>>744252050the vehicles are not fun. vehicle section in halo are the most tedious shit ever cuz you're slowly chipping enemies to death from a distance since player vehicles are made up of paper
>>744252153Name a single game where I can stick an enemy with a grenade and watch them scream and flail and run into their allies and explode
>>744255634>And don’t get me started on the dogshit brutes man. Why they even bothered with them is beyond me.have you played halo 2 on heroic or higher
>>744255849>player vehicles are made up of paperThe warthog is practically indestructible.
>>744255869Have YOU? Post proof you beat the game on LASO, buddy.
>>744254534Reach was kino you just have severe shit tastehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edeQT5FJ90U
>>744252153No they didn’t lol. Boomer shooter enemy AI only know how to walk toward you.
>>744255849Only the banshee and ghost are destructible in CE, and those are primarily used by enemies so it makes sense.Human vehicles are shockingly resilient in the others if you're not running over grenades or into heavy weapons fire constantly.
>>744237962gaylo was never good
>>744255943>oh fuck the cardboard cutout character died quick Marty blast the sad music!
>>744255914yeah instead your own shield will be depleted in em while the soldiers struggle to kill even a single fucking elite cuz they can't aim turrets for shit.halo vehicles fucking suck in SP
>>744256045Use the ghost in single player you mong
>>744256093which leads back to the first point I made
I dont understand why everyone puts such a ridiculous amount of focus on discussing the Halo single player/co-op campaignsThe gameplay isnt that deep, its basically "Move foward through an area, sometimes jumping and meleeing, shooting enemies until they die and lobbing grenades, and occasionally getting in a vehicle or turret."It has really neat set pieces and fun action-flick sci fi writing and moments, its certainly fun to play through, but I wouldn't call it like the best single player experience I've ever had or anything. There's like 5 or 6 different enemies and 3 vehicles you see total? And you do this across like 15 missions.Idk man, I thought Halo's strength was always the multiplayer. Halo 3 and Reach multiplayer felt ridiculously tight and polished, the amount of customisation and different gameplay scenarios people could create, it looks pretty and felt so damn satisfying to play. But everyone just talks about the pillar of autumn coming into the atmosphere.
>>744256140Which is that 1 (ONE) vehicle that’s specifically designed for two people isn’t great when you only have one person…
>>744255806>I literally just played 4 after playing ReachI did too, actually. The game uses the same engine, same mechanics actually armor abilities are improved in 4. The same AI. The same everything. 4 is even better than Reach but that doesn't even matter when Reach fucked up already.
>>744256140>>744256243But at the same time you’re wrong because it’s really not that hard to evade enemy fire long enough for the turret marine to get kills. I used to close the halo 2 scorpion section in mission with a warthog on my own because I thought it was faster than the scorpion.
>>744256243are you dumb? no, ghosts are flimsy shit when piloted by the player so you have to snipe shit to death. warthogs are worthless because soldier can't aim.and then there's the fucking tank sections where you just hold forward and shoot at five hundred ghosts spawning around each corner.all of it just plain sucks.
>>744256524I think you’re just shit dude
>>744256363>anime titty poster>opinions completely 180 degrees at odds with realityAll that jacking off has warped your mind, weeb.
>>744256732>Reach fag is retardedI am not shocked.
>>744255943Playing through Reach again at the moment, it's the best in the series.>most varied levels>best combat and gamefeel>dramatic story>kickass ostAdmittedly the characters are pretty shit, but everything else is top tier.
>>744256524this sounds like skill issue
>>744239442>faithfullmao
>>744256851>no uNice woman arguing tactics, saying Halo 4 is good, let alone better than reach can only be explained by trolling
>>744257464>Nice woman arguing tacticsDiddy blud epstein ahh tactics >better than reachAn extremely low bar considering Reach is shit. And the idea that Reach is some great game came about years later from pure contrarianism.
>>744256038Noble Team were based and some of the franchise's best actually, especially if you're not a book lore autismo, though ironically SPARTAN-IIIs were introduced long before Reach in one of the books lol
While Halo 4 is awful I would say that I enjoyed Reach even less. Better soundtrack though.
>>744256216>The gameplay isnt that deep>Idk man, I thought Halo's strength was always the multiplayerCongratulations, you're part of the reason Halo sucks now because they put most of their effort into multiplayer and have tried turning it into CoD and live service slop, and now that they keep failing, retarded shills blame the old fans for some reason.
>>744237738Honestly all they need is one guy like this in every decision room as a consultant. Just pay him like 120k a year and blast ideas past him.
>>744253621The 3 acceptable targets for a shooting game back then were robots, demons, and nazis. They were nazis in wolfenstein because it was acceptable at the time when most other possibilities were not.
Guys, run! I’ll hold her off!
>>744256216I'm always fascinated why it's Halo's responsibility to be "deep" when every other shooter that isn't Operation Flashpoint Arma is allowed to just be you running and gunning, moving through areas and shooting enemies until they die.
>>744237826This but unironically. Reach turned Halo into Cowadoody
>>744238012You WILL slave away to uphold society and I WILL spend all my free time playing videogames
>>744238012>wtf we spent decades telling young white men that they’re evil while importing the third world and now they don’t feel compelled to keep society running like they always have before??
Explain how Reach created the Promethean Knight designs.
>>744237738It became lost art. Current devs are so lobotomized with inserting anything that looks like Call of Duty or Unreal Engine shit on shooters that they can’t even think about their own gunplay or art style.
>>744238012Women don't wanna fuck meI tried 3 times
>>744237738So you want a game that strokes your dick and call you awesome?
