Eternal Reminder

Joe Staten's Halo story ended with Halo 3. He also authored two Halo novels, Halo: Contact Harvest (prequel to CE/2) and later Halo: Shadow of Intent (aftermath of H2/H3). ODST and Reach are the end of the line for Bungie Studios and Halo.

>"Halo 3: ODST is my favorite," Staten said. "And not just because I was helping to lead that project, but for me it was... any game developers that are watching will understand this. It was the game that we made in the most stable technology base that we'd ever had. You know, it was Halo 3 ODST. It was built in the Halo 3 engine, very few feature changes, so as almost entirely a content exercise.
>"And we just had the flexibility to go in and create an experience, a story that didn't have to wait for the engineers to do all their hard work, rebuild tools and pipelines, implement big features. All of those things are wonderful part of game development, but it just makes things challenging. It extends your timeline."

Eric Nylund's Halo book trilogy ended with Ghosts of Onyx.

>Eric Nylund: GHOSTS OF ONYX is the end of one chapter in the HALO saga--and hopefully the start of an entirely new one!

replayed the first couple hours of reach yesterday and it's funny how it would be called woke nowadays because of kat. the very first time you see her in game is her blocking your character and making a snide comment as you walk in to the briefing room, and then not long later she's doing her epic hacker moment getting the generator back online or whatever and she's making snarky comments like "you're in my light, commander" to her superior. she would be hated if it released today

I didn't say she was the worst. Just that she was a bitch. Also I liked the Arbiter. If he was responsible for 3 Miranda though then he was on something. She is retarded and fucks up really bad multiple times.

Halo 1 and Halo 2 dialogue sounds so smooth and poetic. It doesn't sound like something a human would say, but it's also not generic robot either. Just saying the lines out loud is fun.

Kat is fine. Williams from the Halo: CE remake bonus missions is actually annoying because she adds nothing and is annoying. Palmer from Halo 4 is similar; annoying and pointless but at least less annoying than Williams. Kat makes smart remarks but theyre kinda, idk, more honest in a way. She also doesn't continue being annoying or anything. She speaks softly and does not speak with spite.
>>
>>745232948
no you dont understand man, Spark was just uh malfunctioning yeah that's it
>>
>>745241404
Palmer was odd to me, because as far as I can remember, she literally only has one single line to MC, "Thought you'd be taller."
Which is the most obvious form of playful teasing toward someone, I legit can't fathom how players lost their minds about her. So either she's so boring, I don't remember anything else about her, or people are being silly.
>>
>>745241615
nu halo isn't halo

it was very humiliating and emasculating to master chief's character of a guy who saved humanity 3 times. Palmer felt like an OC character just another out of place female character just like with all 343 garbage
>>
>>745242305
>humiliating and emasculating
How? It was as pure as teasing can be. The guy is 7 feet some tall, he's been talked up as a Legend, to which he is. It's banter, she was smiling when she said. She wasn't mocking him in any way. When whats-his-name asks for MC to be arrested, she doesn't do anything.

I like the idea that humans were forerunners, which makes the lore in 4 onwards damaged beyond belief. Arguably halo 3 was already sabotaged with those terminals
>>
>>745230427
Kat had a great accent and spartan ass
none of Noble team was unlikable, they didn't have enough lines to do say something stupid
>>
>>745241615
it's both that she's boring and pointless and her few lines are boring and annoying
>>
>>745244851
the terminals don't even confirm anything, IIRC they're just messages back and forth between a couple forerunners and their constructs (AI). It's not real lore in my opinion, what is seen and implied in cutscenes takes center stage.
>>
REAL gamers skip all the cutscenes, don't read the (or any) novels, and just use their imaginations as they play .
