Hey Anon, when did it start to go wrong for Halo?
It's one of life's great mysteries, isn't it?
>>748988047same thing as every series, you need to stop after you finish a trilogy and let the franchise rest for a long time
Reach
>>748990251yeah all the little stupid animated backstabs and other game flow interruptions did not belong in Halo, there were popular and now dead genres that might have popularized some of that in their games but trying to copy and bring it to Halo was a mistake. thats why Counter Strike is timeless and Halo failed. Do not interrupt a shooter game.
>>748991279To be fair Reach was made out of obligation rather than passion. Both it and ODST were made due to their contract with Microsoft when they were mentally clocked out of the franchise by Halo 3.Least it's better than everything that came after it. And I say that as someone who believes Armor Lock is the absolute worst mechanic in the entire franchise, 343 games included.
>>748988047343, LGBTQ, Microsoft since day 1
>>748988047Halo 2. CE is peak.
>>748992263nope.it was reach.
>>748991279>Do not interrupt a shooter game.Unbelievably underrated comment. This is exactly why counterstrike is timeless.
>>748988047To be frank I think it had more to do with this game than anything with Halo on the box.
>>748992178>armor lockYou know what, for once I'll agree with somebody who craps on Reach. I love Reach, but firefight and the campaign were the highlights, the multiplayer was overall worse than 3. I just rate the campaign of higher priority than matchmaking balance, because custom games were better than generic slayer slop.
Halo went wrong when it stopped being a Marathon reboot.
>>748993437Don't worry we already have one now. And I'm having a blast.
When they reworked it into a console shooter to sell the Xbox.
>>748993519Have fun. I'll wait for an actual Marathon game.
