Welcome to Halo Protocol.This channel is dedicated to understanding Halo in its entirety. its lore,its design,its creators, and the robust community that’s kept it alive for over two decades.I’ve been part of this universe since day one. I’ve seen it evolve under different hands, through triumphs and missteps alike. But I still believe in what Halo can be, a story of resilience, unity, and hope.Halo Protocol isn’t a news feed or a lore-only archive. It’s a space for balanced discussion, deep analysis, and reflection on the art and effort behind the series, from Bungie’s foundations to Halo Studios’ future.Here, we remember why we fought,not to divide, but to understand.Hope. History. Humanity.

>>543377214I remember right after the Xbox Direct when no Halo game was announced, moral was at an all time low, and these posts startedThe days being counted down were over 100God Speed anon
>>543377360Phil more or less did announce it at the Direct>"the return of a franchise that has been with Xbox since the beginning"

>>543377519Halo Studios is not going to re-release Halo 4 or 5 again because they have no real connection to those projects.Those were 343 games.HS is a fresh new start.
Hola 2 Classic.
>>543379108man the Halo 4/5 gameplay loop was so unfun compared to the Bungie gameswtf happened
>>543380058For 4 it's a mix of the game design just contradicting itself over and over again. That being said, most people still straight up play 4 wrong. I'm not defending it or anything, but DMR plinking Knights from cover is quite literally just making the game harder for yourself.For 5, the bigger issue is how useless the AI squad is despite the game trying to "balance" it by throwing more enemies at you than in any other game.Bungie Halo very cleverly uses smaller enemy numbers in a way that makes it feel like you're fighting more than you are.
>>543380842people went into 4 with plinking in mind because Reach set them up for that. You can't rush enemies in Reach on heroic or legendary. In fact, sprint is really only useful for evading firefights altogether.
>>543380842I can't get over how annoying and unfun the knight/watcher combo is. Or just the prometheans in general.
>>543380058>wtf happenedHalo vs not Halo, girl
Yeah, that's a man.

>>543377214There’s two big announcements. The first is the Halo CE remake with modernised gameplay and bow series staple, S P R I N T I N G.The second is a live service Halo MP game in the same vein of Fortnite - it’ll be constantly updated and have a bunch of crossovers and shit

>>543408060Is this an actual mod some retard made? What a waste of time.

>>543421676Bravo
I actually also have skins turned off, but I do have to admit that the discussion around them has overcorrected too much to the point where people have artificially hyped up BF6 which actually kind of plays like ass.
>>543422208yeahIt's going to be Graped by GTAIt's already doing worse than its beta numbers and its been not even 3 weeks since launch.
Please, Halo StudiosIt's the common sense move...
>>543422509it really isn't slow ass gameplay isn't attracting anyone nowGolden age Halo benefitted from captive audience syndrome
>>543422509Kneel, bitch.
the pcbrowns are getting uppity
But Anon, you're the pcbrown.
Howcome there's more retards playing than back in the day? Half the time if i play big team my own team frags the vehicles or kills whoever gets in first, quite common for people to not man gausses as well and somehow the enemy team misses the memi to be a complete fucking retard so they control the map for 10m until I finally kill the 3 man power weapon gauss by myself. Thats just an example but it applies even on non big team before you say its because of the game mode.
>>543423685the pcbrowns play halo now
>>543340435That was then, this is NOW
>>543423685>Howcome there's more retards playing than back in the day?It's actually more that there's more tryhards, so the retards end up costing you more games because more games are more competitiveThis is pretty much true across all AAA shooters
>>543424751they literally don'tPopulation is probably two thirds on console, if not more
>>543420413
>>543422509If this is it's own standalone game, it's fine.But if they're going to update MCC and overwrite the current Halo 3, then ABSOLUTELY NOT. We're just going to end up with Halo 2 Anniversary where no one plays it, yet you still need to download a massively oversized file just to be able to play the classic version. Do NOT do this. We don't need 343 infecting the best Halo. They already ruined CEA and 2A. Why would you want them to ruin 3A too? They're going to ruin the art style, ruin the sound effects, and possible ruin the soundtrack. Most first-time players are playing with classic graphics (thank goodness) but don't realize the music is anniversary edition. All the cutscenes are gonna be pre-rendered too in 4K which is going to add even more to the bloated file size. If they do make 3A it needs to be completely standalone DLC that you don't need to install with classic 3. But you know that's not gonna happen. So no. Delete this now.Yeah everyone is excited now, but I bet you'll be one of the first anons to come back and complain about how disappointed you were with the remaster. Even though 343 proved three times they can't do remasters/rereleases properly, AND we've been warning you (yeah we) this would happen. And yet you still want it. It's like you're driving toward the edge of a cliff despite all the warning signs and even though I've warned you several times now by putting up fences and tape and basically gatekeeping you from driving off, you're still just driving right through all the safety measures. Why do you guys do this to yourselves. But not just that, you're towing the rest of us with you. When the remaster comes out and it sucks but I still have to download it to play classic 3, it's not just you who suffers, everyone else will too, just like with Halo 2 Anniversary. Once Ruby finishes his rebalance mod I'm not only going to have to download the mod, but also the shitty anniversary edition too because I have no choice. Stop it
Why do we suffer? Why do they desecrate Halo and try and make it into something’s it’s not? Do they think it’s a simple coincidence that interest in Halo plummeted when it became like every other FPS out there and chasing the trends? And now they think copying Fortnite will work? I fucking hate these suits who don’t play vidya and their retarded thoughts on the industry
I am going to be very sad when Survive the Undead is removed again.
The Anon was right. It's the damn Colombians!
>>543425683not my experience i get way more retards than tryhards maybe theyre both tho but idk what kinda tryhard plays big team and nades their own gauss every map

Halo Studios, if you're adding sprint, clamber, slide, and Halo Infinite equipment...hell, then you might as well add dual-wielding while you're at it. Why not?
>>543443542lol u caught the gay 2
>>543443542Based Estonian zoom

But not dual wielding. That would be too hard.

The only good Halos are the ones with dual wielding.Yes, that means Halo 2 Anniversary too.

>the council will be created
The council was decided long ago. You would know if you were in the inner circle.
>>543401840yes
The council isn't real. I made it up.
the council of what?
The problem is the earliest threads are unable to be seen. The ancient history reveals the true evil's design and final goalUntil such an expedition to restore the past is complete, the truth about /hg/ will remain the stuff of history
it just got really CHILLY
*bonk*
>>543355540It's a shame. There was so much potential for a second super-soldier series running alongside Halo, free to be almost entirely different.
>>543470675It's infuriating that they basically made their own interesting new IPThey had all the pieces, the UNSC Infinity being an experimental super ship, home to a cadre of super solders which you get to play as, exploring the galaxyThey even did this with Spartan OpsThey had a new art styleThey had new gameplayBut they didn't dare call it something new, they had to hold on to the old thing and try to keep continuity with the old thing even if it didn't really make sense
that was 10 years agothis is now

They will highlight 7 spots in the darkness, each representing a major halo projectHalo CE, 2, 3, Reach, 4, 5 and Infinite.Then the lights will all turn off and a new light will shine on the master Chief, who turns around and locks his gun, before the words "Halo 8" are shown.
Imagine how pathetic and embarrassing it'll be that they had to rebrand their company only to keep making the same trend chasing shit they've always done.

Any attempt at a new ODST game should be a milsim. Fuck, any new halo game should probably be a milsim, I'm fucking tired of a weapons not behaving realistically, magazines and equipment appearing from nowhere, etc. The next Halo game needs to be closer to Arma than Halo gameplay wise.

>>543323497https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIY9wpFunFY>>543509932>>543509346You think any of those anons are still here?
>>543529602If sprint isn't Halo, this definitely isn't as well.We need Halo games to be Halo, not other genres.
>>543530665>Halo except it's DOOD HALF LIFE LMAO for no reasonI hate modders more than 343.
>>543530904We need SHOOTERS to stop being DOGSHIT WHERE ASSAULT RIFLES FEEL LIKE SMGS and inject some MILSIM AUTISM into them. All shooters. Especially fucking halo, the franchise that likes to sometimes pretend it's hard scifi and has books featuring military autism, like spartans carrying tacticool gear, reloading from pouches and ammo bags, engaging elites from 100m away with assault rifles and killing them with less than 8 shots each, etc.Lore accuracy+realism > gameplay
>>543531472It even has music from original Fallouts.
Halo Wars is so comfy
>>543531661Go fuck a deer, /k/.
>>543529602When I first used the Halo weapons in Helldivers, the weapons actually acting like guns spooked the shit out of me.No magic bolts and crap ass animations.
>>543531661Fun fact: Bungie originally intended Halo 2 to be like this (more of a tactical shooter with autism) but Microsoft focus groups and the well-documented troubled development of H2 stopped them from doing it.
>>543532213
>>543531661Nah, just makes the guns do good, well balanced damage with fun bloom, good animations and we're good.If Halo is in the shitter because it's chasing after CoD can you imagine how dead it would be if it tried to be like fucking ARMA?lmao get real, brother.
>>543532213>we almost had an era of gaming defined by milsim shooters becoming mainstream but Microsoft prevented itthose bastards.
Fun fact: Bungie originally intended Halo 2 to have an extensive interactive Cortana sex scene but Microsoft focus groups and the well-documented troubled development of H2 stopped them from doing it.
>>543532443>yeah bro I like the assault rifle being a peashooter that feels like it's shooting pistol rounds instead of like a proper rifle>yeah bro I like the actual fucking pistol feeling more like a rifle than the assault rifle>yeah bro I like the extremely unrealistic gameplay and leftover bullets being transported into the magic realm immediately upon reloading instead of you keeping your empty mags and partially empty mags and manually putting new bullets in them and each mag being tracked Kill yourself.
>>543532857You can try putting words into my mouth to support your opinion but anybody can simply read my actual post to see your deception.Don't kill yourself, have a good day.
Halo's weapons designs never recovered from losing Robert Mclees designing them after Halo 2.
>>543532857I'm guessing you are one of the people 343 hired because they hated Halo
>>543533080Halo 3 only has like 1 or 2 new guns and they look fine to me, what do you have against the spiker?
>>543533107I love halo. I just want it to be more milsim-esque after using the halo weapons in helldivers and playing a lot of milsims.
>>543533774Well you're not getting that because it wouldn't sell and even 343 fans wouldn't like it, so there.Learn how to make a game yourself and make your dream come true.
>>543534221>it wouldn't sellNot if you kill enough people to force others to buy it.
>>543532857>yeah bro I like the extremely unrealistic gameplay and leftover bullets being transported into the magic realm immediately upon reloading instead of you keeping your empty mags and partially empty mags and manually putting new bullets in them and each mag being trackedThere's literally nothing wrong with this.
>>543534691Yes, there is. It's FUN to realize that you only have one magazine left that's only partially filled from an earlier reload, so you scramble behind cover, take bullets out of your ammo bag that you grabbed from a fallen marine and start frantically reloading them into your empty magazines so that you'll have future reloads. A Spartan could probably accomplish this incredibly quickly, too. Or imagine having to manually inject yourself with biofoam from a health pack instead of just walking up to it and you magically healing yourself. Or if in a MK VI or onwards suit of mjolnir, having to refill the biofoam injector in your suit manually with a health pack because the suit ran out. These situations create tense and meaningful gameplay experiences. Of course, to align with the stated specs of spartans in MJOLNIR you could also make the player drastically faster and have a higher jump height to match. You could also make all weapons much more damaging, both to the player and enemies, to account for this and also get rid of the bullet sponge problem some enemies in halo have. Implement some cool shit like bleeding mechanics for enemies, too, and armor penetration tables for weapons vs vehicles so that battle rifles and whatnot don't chip away at fucking tanks. Redesign the scorpion to not look retarded, too. Make it look like a real MBT
>>543535857>halo but it's tarkovShit idea for a mainline game.Great idea for an ODST 2, though, since you just feel like a fat spartan in ODST instead of an unaugmented human soldier
shit idea overall actually
>>543535857What's with retards like you who want Halo to stop being Halo when you can play notHalo and notHalo games that basically do what you want already exist?Is it narcissism? Main character syndrome? Or are you doing it for the (You)s?Also here's me magically teleporting 7 pistol rounds in my Halo ammo bag.
>>543536312I want HALO with more realistic mechanics, retard. Not hard to realize.
>>543536867Then go play whatever Halo mods exist for Arma and cordially fuck off.
>>543533337I brain farted and forget to specify that I meant human weapons.
>>543536867Then you don't want Halo.
Have you guys seen what’s coming in the CE remake? Advanced movement changes EVERYTHING. And we’re not ready for it, bros
>>543537608>I want the halo games to match the novels that the fandom loves>fandom: no fuck off we want peashooter assault riflesYou retarded or something?
>>543538083People who read Halo books deserve to be mocked and ridiculed. Just admit that you hate Halo, be honest with us this one time.
>>543538083Would you please reply to the post that was part of this argument that specifically says it wants peashooter assault rifles, please?So we can have proof of your claim, so you don't look like a whiny bitch putting words into people's mouths.
>muh novelsHalo truly has become a book franchise, hasn't it?
>>543538357The original Bungie era books are great, that guy's just dumb, don't insult good literature because one guy is an ass.>>543538469What else does it have left?
>>543538535Anon, the original Bungie era books are the ones egging that guy on, Eric Nylund had spartans running around in tactical gear and webbing and doing weird shit like going into prone and setting up ambushes and the magnum being weaker than the MA5B on a round by round basis.
>>543538535>What else does it have left?The MCC. It ain't much, but that's enough for me.
Halo Combat Evolved Evolved again needs to contain at least 40 minutes of Studio Blur cutscenes of Thel'Vadame's fleet arguing about Sangheili inheritance traditions and titheing policies
>>543539067I'd watch it.Just make Game of Thrones, but it's all Covenant species.
>>543538971And? Someone being stupid isn't an excuse to shit on something good. I like the books but I don't think this weirdo is right, I just want classic Bungie era Halo but with good weapon balance, sounds and animations for its guns.
>>543539067It should be conducted like a Socratic dialogue with the participants oiled and in the nude

What is the best point to go back to in the Halo franchise for Microsoft? Frank is gone so they are no longer beholden to his fanfic. Would you go back to post halo 3? Or even Halo 2? Reach? I’m not talking about what is likely to happen. I’m asking what is the correct choice? I would consider CE and 2 canon and throw anything after that out.
>>543554639reboot it to be a scifi milsim
>>543552058>empire at war modsins of the prophets is better
>>543554639It would have to be before Halo 3 since that's when the slippery slope started, both narratively and mechanically
Vizipop should write the next Halo game
>>543556076
Halo
>>543556469this makes me want to break something
>>543554639There's an entire untapped era between 2525 and 2552 they could literally just make up. A Contact Harvest game. A game based on earth as a marine or a citizen outside of Africa (we get to see more more stuff). Although not within that timeline, we could get a small campaign story about the Grunt Rebellion or some other clandestine conflict within the covenant. They could even change the 'genre' of the game and make a horror themed one. As long as they don't willingly fuck around with existing narratives, it's a money printer.
>>543556604>anything halo in 2025>it's a money printer.lollmao even
this is why you NEVER let loreautists have a seat at the table
>>543554639We need Halo 3 2. It's that simple. Maybe cut off equipments, but everything else should be baseline. Theater, simple AND advanced Forge. Matchmaking with slayer and objectives playlists. Veto or map voting. Poach a few guns from the 343i games and redesign them to fit classical Halo.Also, no fucking spawning with DMRs in BTB and no goddamn sprint.
>>543556854It's called Infinite
>>543556854Map voting has always been aids in Halo.Veto is best, but I'd rather have nothing than voting again.
>>543556984made me reply
>The Coveted Halo...Eh, actually, these are a lot of really shit opinions
Master Chief?Ya mind telling me what you're doing.... well, at all?
>>543557309SECURITY TO THE BRIDGE
>>543554639Literally just Halo 3.5No sprint, clamber, or ADS.Expand on what made that game good but have good weapon balance.Big maps where you fly dropships and drive scarabs.If MTX must exist, then have them be good looking cosmetics that fit the Halo style, not fucking cat ears and blenders.It's that fucking simple.
>>543557161Yes, we know you hate Halo.
>it's that simple>it's that fucking simple>just do that>that's it>it prints money>it's that simplethere is a point where this actually makes people disagree with you just because of how obvious it is, just fyi
>>543557607Well then those people can be stupid and wonder why Halo is shit and why nobody cares about it.
>>543556895>The enemy has gained a foothold on planet that's basically UNSC manufacturing and military HQ.>I am going to charge into a heavily fortified and technologically superior position with Taliban Toyotas (in an open and clear field that can probably be seen from orbit).
>you talk wrongWeak ass bitch. Kill yourself.
>>543557607it's just lord schizodude is talking about having a "more balanced" halo 3 but also demands retarded shit like drivable scarabs in the same breathLuckily he has no actual influence on the brand
>>543556798this
>>543557805Please explain how that's retarded. You don't want assault rifles that can actually damage people? You don't want to drive a scarab?What DO you want?Also I don't even know who that person you're accusing me of being is, try being less paranoid and obsessed.
2 > all
>>543558026>You don't want assault rifles that can actually damage people?Is this the part where you lie about CE's or 3's AR being useless? Whatever pal, its been working on my machine for decades.>You don't want to drive a scarab?I was driving scarabs in custom edition in 2004. It's a neat thing to be able to do. It's not something Halo desperately needs in its core game modes, especially if the concern is balance.>What DO you want?You're giving me plenty of it. By all means please don't stop. This is pretty funny
>>543558026you've been done>>543558352you've done him
>>543558352based and extinction pilled
>>543558352Useless? No, but underpowered and lacking in punch. Obviously scarabs would only be on huge maps for fun gamemodes like 50vs50 players, or do you think I want them to be plopped down in the middle of Blood Gulch?Bungie was shit at weapon balance, they made so many cool weapons but made them weak compared to precision weapons, all I want is for each gun to be useful instead of garbage you toss the second you spot a BR.You're weird, dude.
2Uncs, despite having better taste, are actually more autistic and annoying than 3babsBut yall are not ready for that conversation
>>543558757go play halo 5I'm so thankful the OG trilogy is not balanced that way.
>>543558768Only 343 fans are annoying, classic era fans are good. Reach fans not so much but are highly tolerable.
>>543558757>Halo>50v50 playersJust stop man. Even 12v12 is too much most of the time.
>>543558959>Only 343 fans are annoying3babs are insufferable
>>543558928You're a fucking moron, at least TRY to follow along, man.
>>543558959343 apologists are trash I agree, but there's so few of them compared to "just make halo 3 again" retards that they end up not being as constant of a nuisance
>>543559134>no argumentI accept your concession
Be nice
CEmake will be better than CE
Is this the halo thread?
>>543559247I'm not arguing with you, I'm insulting you for being stupid.Now I'm going to go buy a big cheeseburger for my dinner and fuck your mom on my way home, have a great day.>>543559341I'll be nice to you, and you alone. You're awesome, you're great, may you have good luck and may you have a restful night's sleep.
>>543559436>Is this the halo thread?it is, but some people are being really mean to the new guyI don't like it>>543559475it's ok anon, you didn'tdo anything wrong, enjoy your burger

HALO MILSIM ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING AT HCS FRIDAY
we've been over thisit's a Fireteam Raven Prequel
>>543547198CEmake will look like this.
CEmake will look like this.
CEmake will look like this
>>543562817I stood up and applauded
>>543561494Unironically would be the best path forward. Find a niche like sci fi milsim and make it yours. Thats halo’s future. They won’t though.
>>543558757The CE AR and the Halo 3 AR are both pretty effective. Are they underpowered versus the Pistol and BR? Yes, but those guns are overpowered within their own sandboxes.The Halo CE AR is the king of close range, after the Shotgun, and it has the best melee attack in the game. And there's the Active Camo thing.The Halo 3 AR is the most reliable auto weapon in the game. The only thing beating it at close are the shotguns, melee weapons, dual Magnums if you're lucky and dual SMGs, the latter being overwhelmingly powerful within their effective range.
>>543564350They don't behave like a fucking assault rifle. You fucking idiot. The BR behaves like an assault rifle. It's time to start killing people who defend the CE and Halo 3 ARs.
>>543565180>muh nomenclatureGo back to your deer fucker board.
>>543562078Holy peak, I hope they go with the silver timeline going forward, it really simplifies and cleans up the canon

Imagine if Halo's extraction mode came out before Marathon. How would that make you feel?
>>543581774Nothing. Extraction is fucking dogshit.
Halo's gameplay is incompatible with the extraction shooter and battle royale genres.
>>543581959What about the ERP genre?
It's up.
The game awards is a little over a month away, why are they revealing the next halo game at some esports event only diehards even know exists?
Wait a minute... That map isn't from the campaign or Halo 3...
hope you are all having a good night
>>543586435Because waiting until the game awards would be retarded and they should just show us the damn game already

>>543610603>does anyone ere actually play infinite mpyes>or is it so bad i might as well not even ask the questions i have.It's unironically fine now, the problem is it took 3+ years to get there, so it will never be a rousing success or relevant game.>i'll ask anyway, did they ever fix the rewasd cheese thingno, although rewasd is a bigger problem in MCC unironically.I sound like a hater I know, but I actually play MCC more.
>>543610603Plenty here play Infinite on their own, but it doesn't get as many game nightsEven 5 has had more game nights in the last few weeks
I have seen CEmakeIt's not bad
It's worse.
Since a Halo:CE remake is rumored or confirmed to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if an entire remake of CE, 2 and 3 were part of their plan.
>>543586435Because Halo is dead and the ad slot at TGS costs too much to be worth it for this IP
>>543581774Wouldn’t matter because both would still be BTFO by Arc Raiders
>>543612091No shit 2 and 3 would get the remake treatment if the CE remake is a success. They're not going to go "alright boys CE remake was a success, it's time to do an Infinite sequel!"
>>543612597Yea well how much will they completely fuck up each?
>>543612091Nu Halo devs will waste time remaking and ruining classic Halo games but won't add Halo 5 to MCC.
Are Halo 1 fans the most oppressed people in history?>broken PC port>servers populated entirely by mexicans>CEA arrives, halo 4 visuals, embarrassing mocapped cutscenes, shit music, halo reach playlist instead of multiplayer>MCC uses CEA for campaign and the broken PC port for multiplayer, gets further broken by being MCC>CEA replaces CE entirely in the eyes of the public and in the franchise>Mark V gets another hideous "reimagining" every year, further retconning what CE actually looked like>nostalgiawanking never goes earlier than 3, and when it does it's CEA>franchise gets rebooted with ANOTHER CE remake>sprint, UE5, AI generated in copilot by a team made entirely of indians>mid 30's and never kissed a womanI just want it to end.

>DID YOU THINK ME DEFEATED
>>543613406>CE remake rips off FF7 remake and introduces time travelling shenanigans into its plot It’s so retarded that I’m sure it’ll happen now
>>543613558When predicting future nu Halo plot points there's nothing too dumb or batshit crazy. I can literally imagine them remaking the original Halo games with nu Halo features and trying to connect them with the original games.
>>543613702Nu Halo trilogy will end with Master Chief and Atriox teaming up to save the universe against "The Endless" and the very last cutscene will be the original Halo 1s opening cyro pod opening.
>>543613057Considering we got Custom Edition, no. Yeah sure we got a couple of broken shaders but who cares.

>>543613057>mid 30's and never kissed a womanHey that's me!
>>543619494And it was fun. But people around here aren't ready for that conversation.
>>543636182It was fun, but the lack of maps and the awful presentation knocked it down a few pegs. As does including it exclusively on a disc that already had your favorite Halo game right there.
BR into Halo 1 will probably affect the campaign more than sprint will. Every game since Halo 1 has had progressively shittier feeling and sounding weapons so backporting the Halo 2+ sandbox into Halo 1 only does a disservice to Halo 1. Not as if I'm actually going to touch this remake anyways so enjoy your Halo 2 variation of Halo 1.
>>543637741All Halo 1 needed was the sentinel beam.
There will be a MAJOR Halo Announcement at the Final HCS World Championship in Seattle, Washington in only TWO (2) Days!What is it? Well, we don't know all the details, outside of the big announcement likely being made at 4pm Eastern Time on Friday October 24th. One thing's for sure though, it's shaping up to be something BIG.Strap in. We'll Make it.
>>543644065I can almost taste it
>>543644065please be a Sangheli Dildo
>>543636182It was fun, yes but ugly with awful lighting. So ugly that it was nearly unplayable. Here's an old ass screenshot I took as example.
>>543646783Crushed blacks, blinding effects, and mishmashed sound effects.
>>543644065>>543644343please add H3A to MCC
>>543644065I hope 343 just goes all in on their vision of Call of Halo instead of half assing it, if they're not willing to just make a proper Halo game. It would actually make it far easier for me to let go and give up for good then.
>>543323497I miss halo 5 multiplayer.
You are late
Trump fucked HaloHS' plan was to hire a ton of cheap hard working Indian laborNow there's nobody to make the game
We, the Halo chads, hate Halo 5 multiplayer
5 is okay.
>>543422645I'm still 50/50 on this theory. I wouldn't be surprised if some out-of-nowhere game devs show up to make a game that follows Halo's old formula, and it goes big. Just for Halo Studios (343*) to copy that for their next game since they're trend chasers. Then they'll slap us with the "see guys?? we listen!!!" and still fuck up the classic gameplay style.
Is it really that hard to make a good sci-fi fps MULTIPLAYER game nowadays? Every new shooter is either fucking third person or a COD clone with a modern twist or some shit.
>>543661463you right sister!
>>543662642Yes, actually. Good interesting sci-fi requires imagination, otherwise you just end up with neon glowing lines, pointless impractical holograms and hexagons.Much easier for hack devs to just make a modern military shooter that nobody wants to play since the market is so saturated with them.
>>543663659Oh. Well, thanks for the straightforward answer.
>>543663659NTABut we're in a drought of good sci-fi in general these days. I have a theory about this, that we've reached the limits of storytelling that common morality will allow. I have a terrible headache so I can't really get into this in depth, but this promotional video for Prometheus hits all the ideas behind my theoryhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4SSU29Arj0Thinking about this b/c I am writing.
>>543661652Casual and competitive shooter players prefer more individual power than Halo (particularly Halo 2 on) gives. Halo is also not doing anything fresh or interesting for multiplayer to entice new players. Infinite is also fucking ugly with no style, don't discount the importance of that for mass market.
>>543663659I mean, it's not like Halo is the peak of imagination, given how it's a mash of most 20th century sci-fi.
>>543661652The neat thing about trends is that they come and go, what's popular now eventually becomes boring due to being overdone and what was old can come back, with a coat of fresh paint and feel new.For the longest time most shooters were just dull CoD clones, which we still have of course, but the last decade has seen the return of Doom and Quake style games in quite high numbers.So there's no reason why a classic style Halo game can't come out and be popular, it just needs polish and good game design.But we won't get that from 343, we'll get a Fortnite clone.>>543664268I don't even like sci-fi much myself, give me some aliens to shoot in interesting environments and I'll be happy. Classic era Halo and Half Life are the kind of sci-fi I like. Horror sci-fi that goes weird like Otherside Picnic is also really cool.>>543664545Yeah but done in a way that makes it stand out. The semi-retro aesthetic inspired by Alien is pretty unique, gas fired mechanical guns instead of pew pew laser guns too. Plus the contrast of Covenant and Forerunner tech, helps so much.
>>543664268Holy shit, now that you mentioned it, you're right. I haven't seen any real attempts to tackle sci-fi unless it's cyberpunk adjacent, and even though it's still mostly in a modern setting with a few fancy gadgets. Even more reason to work on my sci-fi game I guess.
>>543422645I still find it really funny that as soon as a FPS competitor showed up Halo just completely shat the bed and had an identity crisis it has never gotten over.
>>543664813>So there's no reason why a classic style Halo game can't come out and be popular, it just needs polish and good game design.>But we won't get that from 343, we'll get a Fortnite clone.I agree. I'm at the point where I don't care what 343 does with Halo now. I don't even want them to go back to their old roots and expand from there, since they'll just fuck it up and excuse it that the original formula doesn't work anymore. I believe in the "be the change you wanna see" motto and will work on my own shit.
>shill central: "NEW HALO IS NOT AI SLOPPA!!!"
>>543665150As and adult replaying the series, I've come to the conclusion that Bungie barely knew what they were doing and got super lucky with a lot of what made Halo good. I can still feel that they had a lot of love and passion for what they were doing though and a competent developer could take what they made and really shape it into something truly amazing that surpasses what they did.Not happening though.
>>543664813>I don't even like sci-fi much myself, give me some aliens to shoot in interesting environments and I'll be happy.Honestly, on some level I feel the same wayBut Halo really did a number on me where it's something you enjoy on a brain-off level of "Holy shit this is so fun shooting aliens" and then the confidence and gravitas of the setting hooked me and now Durability is one of the most terrifying words in the English language to me thanks to the Marathon lore schizophrenia rabbit hole.
>>543665590Nta but that's a fair take. You can tell they learned a lot from Halo when they went on to develop Destiny 1.... before they shat the bed on that too. Destiny 1's aesthetics and early lore concepts were so peak too, it felt like a sequel in Halo universe that happened to take place somewhere else in the universe.
>>543665564Jez has been wrong about so much Halo shit, why would anyone listen to himself waiting for that PS5 MCCport, Jez.
>>543646783Halo 4, 5, and 2A really feel like you're playing a 2004 game that has had a shittily made HD texture pack and extremely blownout Reshade preset crammed into it.
>>543665590I genuinely wish I never replayed Halo 3 when it come to MCC PC. It absolutely ruined my memories of my teenage years playing it.1 and 2 I still massively vibe with but fucking hell 3 felt like I was walking through a quagmire, it's so sluggish and limp feeling.
>>543666215it's important to combat nostalgiait makes you smarter to see past your own biases
>>543666016I disagree on when the shatting happened. I think they shat the bed with Reach, including sprint and trying so hard to be dark and mature in a way that feels so artificial and forced.Then they shat even harder with Destiny, making a mediocre Borderlands clone with some of the worst writing I've seen in a video game. Looks great and sound great but that's it.>>543666215I still love the OG trilogy, but to me Halo 1 has aged the best somehow, with the exception of vehicle segments where Halo 3 is still the best.Though ultimately my ideal Halo game would be something built off 3, just better.
Man Halo 3 only gets better every time I play it. And I play it every year. Although I play it on my original 360 copy. The MCC chopping off the credits and the soulless loading screens significantly harsh the vibe.
>>543665590Bungie were notoriously terrible at evaluating their own games. They never wanted a super dominant precision start because they hated the Halo 1 pistol. So Halo 2 SMG starts fiasco. Halo 3 trying to do the AR/Pistol start thing but failing because you can't pocket your dual-wielded weapons. Missing literally all of their goals with the DMR by choosing the absolute worst possible way to implement bloom then also having absurdly awful automatics.
>>543666594Oh don't get me wrong, I'm aware how much Halo Reach split the fanbase and set a bad precedent for the franchise. I just mean they had something solid with D1 but that dream was never fully realized. If you think about it. lot of its potential died before even the release of the first game, only leaving remnants behind with their aesthetics.
>>543667178Simply removing ADS, sprint and increasing your movement speed to sprint levels would have made that game significantly better.The inclusion of sprint and ADS in Halo truly made me realize what a cancer those mechanics are on the FPS genre, how boring and samey every game is that uses them and how much better they would instantly become with their removal.
>>543666998>Halo 3 trying to do the AR/Pistol start thingThis wasn't a thing on release. The community had to browbeat Bungie into making AR starts (which were only ARs) less shitty.
>>543668240Why didn't they tell them to buff the damage and accuracy? Could they simply not? I've heard the Halo engine is kinda shitty and jank, is there a technical reason or did nobody just give a fuck?
Don't step over here, guys. I just came. Sorry.
>>543666594I always pictured a "dark and mature" Halo game to look like a lot of the Halo 2 concept art paintings that Craig Mullins did. Not make everything tacticool and sap the life out of everyone so they are all blank pieces of wood.
>>543668391People have begged for stat changes for a variety of weapon in Halo 3 since day 1 and Bungie never blinked. Apparently, Post release Halo 3 was too complicated for simple stat tinkering back then.
>>543668391I think less "no one gave a fuck" and more Bungie couldn't design a MP balanced sandbox to save their lives honestly.
>>543668585My idea of darkness is just to play a horrific situation straight. Billions of people have been genocided, Humanity may not survive, the trilogy doesn't really focus on that too hard but Reach could have. The best level is New Alexandria because you get to see the massacre and try your best to stop it. I don't think it was done very well but I could feel what they were going for, lean into the desperation, the exhaustion of the troops fighting, the fear that you might not make it to the evacuation ship, the uncertainty of the future.Reach starts in a boring grey mountain then goes to a boring cold military base, then a boring grey desert, when it should have started in the cities, you should have been there from the beginning and spent the whole game seeing the decline and destruction.
>>543668240You know what I think you're right. What I remember Bungie saying about the pistol was actually about the Halo 3 AR. So they're even worse than I remember.
>>543611271lame, once I learned about rewasd and how many people use it, it pretty much spoiled the mp for me. guess I might as well check things out anyway just to see what kinda modes they have running now cause i actually kind of do miss the game
>>543669092It is legitimately not good for people's mental health to either make something like that, or engage with it as entertainment. Reach as it is is borderline too depressing.
>>543669092>reach is meant to be THE unsc military planet>mostly spent bumming around in civilian areas>"oh no... the covenant are on reach... i repeat.. the covenant are on- *falls asleep*"
>>543669626Winter Contingency was to show off Bungie's skill at making huge levels. It wasn't supposed to be fun or engaging.
>>543669501I don't agree and I can't think of an argument that doesn't just devolve into me calling you a pussy, sorry.>>543669770Do you have a quote on that? Because if that's true, they succeeded. My favorite part of that level was the small army of Covenant hanging out in some random backyard and field with zero tactical value.The first time you should have seen Covenant was in the base, should've used a page from Halo 1's Flood reveal in a way.
>>543669970Bungie were afraid of having you slaughter civilians for the first six levels before the Covenant reveal.
>>543669501>Reach as it is is borderline too depressing.I wish it was. It's just a bunch of events that the game is going "hey blue tech girl died you feel sad right? and that city got glassed that's sad too right? you should feel sad about these things!".And it's just, no I don't feel anything actually. I'm actually bored because I don't care about anything you are presenting to me you are just telling me this is sad.
>>543669970>Do you have a quote on that?No, but I believe it's easy to infer. Winter Contingency is pretty unique among Halo Reach levels. It felt very show off-y, like an attempt at wow-ing journalists and new players with fancy graphics and a large (mostly) seamless level. The Falcon level is pretty similar in that regard now that I think about it.
>>543670436I compare Reach to Twilight Princess, which does the exact same thing. The game tells you everyone is miserable and consumed by a nameless fear but doesn't actually show jack shit. Oh no, a few people died off screen but for everyone else it's business as usual and it feels like they aren't even aware a big evil wizard is taking over the world.>>543670559I'm going to cynically believe it too then.
>>543670714>Twilight PrincessSay that again.
>>543670869that again
>TP>depressingwat
>>543670436>>543669970Maybe I interpret "the game makes me bored" as depression. As in not exciting or interesting and leaving you wishing you were doing something else. To me that's what something being depressing is.
>>543670714I compared it to Mass Effect 3 recently. Play all the overly sad music you want, nameless child getting killed in the shuttle will never be a sad event because I have no idea who that is, and why Shepard is apparently distraught over this event despite having some majorly fucked background choices.
>>543671015That's one way but what I mean is a "I'm sitting on a bench staring, unseeing at my feet thinking about all the people who got boiled alive in a plasma explosion right infront of me and it hurts so much that I can't even shed tears." kinda feeling.>>543671320Yes, you need to be given a reason to be feel emotions, I don't give a shit about Noble Team because they're boring and don't even act like a team. Jorge was okay though, I guess.
>>543671718That's because Jorge is the only character in the entirety of the game that shows some warmth towards Noble 6. Kat too I guess, but she immediately dies afterwards.
>>543670714>I compare Reach to Twilight PrincessReach isn't the best game in the series though?

There's no way people were genuinely getting cooked by the flood missions in CE I haven't played the game in 10 years and they're genuinely light work
>>543666621based
>>543679308They're fun as fuck to fight and I'll always be mad Bungie nerfed them so hard in 3.
>>543679308The Library being irredeemable garbage traumatized multiple generations of gamers.
>>543680009I know it's a shit level but I like it since the Flood are so fun to fight so it's all good mate.
>>543679308For me, it's the atmosphere. Halo is usually bright and colorful, there's a bunch of vehicle combat, you very expressive Marine allies, and the Covenant has all these different units of enemies they throw at you with their own behaviors and you can approach them in different ways and 'outsmart' them or whatever, but they all provide variety. I actively seek out Covenant to fight, unlike the Flood, which I'd rather skip.Fighting exclusively flood enemies doesn't provide that much variety. Their most interesting enemies are the popcorn flood and the carriers. I don't like fighting the combat forms, they're not fun. They just charge you or shoot their gun if they have one. They don't talk shit at you or retreat and make you want to chase them down. They make you want to avoid them because they're tedious to fight. The best parts of the library are the elevator sections which let you take a break and feel like you're making progress, and whenever the sentinels show up. The sentinels should have shown up more often throughout the level. That was the first time Combat forms were interesting because you can watch them try to engage a flying enemies, which they approach different from the Covenant since not all of them carry guns, but they have super jumps.Ruby fixed this with his mod simply by adding more variety to the encounters. The original game, most of the encounters play out the same, the most you notice is the placement/location of the carriers and the rocket flood. The rest of the mission is a blur.The other missions with flood are fine though.
Man, if they just removed the library from CE that wold have been the perfect Halo game. The Flood are fine, but only when they're not the only part of the sandbox. They're fun when you're fighting both Covenant and Flood. They can have one intro mission that feature them exclusively, but we don't need a whole second mission featuring them almost exclusively.

Well that was a good discussion we had earlier, now it's the mouth breathing shitposter's turn.This place will actually be worse than an open sewer on friday.
erm
Lurk more, newfag./hg/ is unironically one of the better generals.
>Good Flood Missions343 Guilty SparkTwo BetrayalsThe Maw (Warthog Run)The Covenant>Bad Flood MissionsThe Library (Map Design, Lack of Variety)Cortana (Map Design mostly, There's more variety than the Library (Thanks to equipment, weapons, new flood enemies), but the areas you fight in are claustrophobic and not very fun)>Inoffensive Flood MissionsKeyes (Mostly forgettable outside of finding Keyes)The Maw (Pre-Warthog Run)Floodgate (It's okay, the Flood are pushovers in this mission but better than being annoying to fight like in the Cortana Mission; Highlight is when the Elites join up with you)Halo (Warthog Run is fine, but this mission is mostly Based for it's story/narrative and fighting Guilty Spark, and being a callback to CE, but Flood are still not the most interesting enemies to fight.)
>>543690438What's supposed to make this general so special?I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Just the same generic shitposting as anywhere else.
>>543690438I disagree, /egg/ is S+ tier AND consistently on the front page of 4chan.
>>543690957Not him, but /hg/ has some of the most offtopic/schizophrenic funposting in this whole site. It's hard to tell if someone is being dead serious, being silly, or playing 5D chess. And then you also have the random unlawful posting out of nowhere without warning. Or the /pol/posting, erp posting and discord posting. But then you have bouts of discussion posting and actual Halo posting. It's a weird general for sure. Some anons treat it like a chatroom too, but I feel like there are better tools for that, why use 4chan when you could use aol instant messenger or IRC or something if you really just want to talk to someone about your day. There's not very many places to discuss Halo, and I don't want to use 343's website or reddit to do that. Only reason I mention it is because it happens so often that it becomes like spam so you have to wade through all the meme/erp/lgbt chat to find the Halo stuff.

What you have here is autism and gaysism. And even I know the spam you're talking about is just because there's nothing else to post in a Halo general, unless it's the same things over and over again.
Don't bother, it's just lil janny, clearly short a few marbles.
>>543693135anything and everything from CE is forced here/hg/ is a little corner of the halo Fandom on the internet desperately screaming into the hurricane that is everyone else being nostalgic for Halo 3 and Reach, propping up CE and to a lesser extent 2 as "the last time Halo was great" or whatever.And it's not actually about CE/2 btw, it's just about being hipsters. CE is about to have more of a spotlight on it than any time since 2011, and you'll see people here left and right cyxlefagging CEA to be the superior remaster/remake. Screencap this if you doubt me. Also, "3babby?" Really? Do you have any idea how old Halo 3 is now?It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
