Bleach is the root of all.
To love is to let go.
The Endless has arrived
nah
I hope mint streams halo again next week
In 2018, Pierre Hintze met with some halo content creators at 343. He was described as rude, quiet, and argumentative. He said no one wants to play these old halo games on PC (MCC) so we need to have battle passes/seasons for a live service, paid mods shop, release the halo games one by one on PC, and he was very excited about skins. The content creators convinced him to not have a paid mods shop or release the games one by one on PC.
>>582175561How does him taking off the helmet look in remake version? Or anniversary one, for that matter.
>>582175561Reach a good shit
Reboot it.
>>582175694I wish Halo another animetoo bad
>>582176373Probably explains the instant cutoff to MCC updates when the community collectively went "fuck mtx".And why it tooks years for ranking up to award points after the first 100 levels again. Nigger probably was wetting himself over the idea of putting a store in to buy the points with real currency.
And he should've done so. Go gives a shit as long as we got the original armor pieces by playing. Let the goycattle support MCC.
>>582177298Your additional support would have been 15gb of shop skins every few months.

Is we playing Halo?
Is we playing MCC?
Halo went to shit when the marines designs went from guys wearing green wrapped up in giant slabs of titanium to fat fucks desperately trying to look like 2007 era iraq ied bait.
Is we playing Firefight?
>>582181232
Is we raping 343 employees?
>>582183585Halo 2 marines were almost even worse. Motherfuckers look like they are about to be deployed to Iraq.
>>582179845>convinced him not to release the games one by one on PC But that's what they did irl. Turns out beluga can get things wrong sometimes
r/ShitHaloSays and r/HaloCircleJerk are not fucking happy with you Halo chuds.
Why do Halo 3 fans want to undo the ending of Halo 3 once more?That ending is basically the only thing that is universally liked in regards to that games writing.
>>582185880how are they coping that their company and games objectively failed?
Jerome's Big Adventure will be real.
>>582193973How the fuck do you remember that post of mine?
343 lost to Halo CE twice. The first time it sent their studio on a neverending downward spiral. The second time it ended them outright. The original still stands as the undisputed best version of the game despite two whole attempts to rape it. Halo 3-Reach (irrelevant as Reach may be in comparison to CE-ODST) remain untouched, thankfully. 343 didn't even make a dent in it. Unfortunately Halo 2 took a hit and there are people that unironically consider the shitty remaster with the butchered music where Arbiter and the Sihipmaster raid the Quarantine Zone on Christmas day to be one of the best remasters ever. But overall the OGs withstood 343's 15 year long rape attempt very impressively, with CE's resilience being particularly notable (as expected of the greatest).
>>582196172the blur studio cutscenes carried the h2 remaster so hard people were willing to overlook everything else
>>582192318They want a reboot but they want to keep the things they liked as canon. I honestly don't know if i want that though. The covenant broken up means you have to look for a new bad guy. Or figure out ways to keep them around in some form while you look for an even bigger threat. The same shit 343 kept trying to do and failing.

Shiiii nigguh what is we gonna do without Halo now
>>582206585Go back to /rwg/.
>>582206585hey guys! I hear there's this new game called Marathon™ that looks really cool, we should ALL check it out! :)
So what happens now?
>>582206585>>582206848>so what happens now?For Halo or for /hg/?There's no new game coming out for YEARS.As in, 3 years at a minimum.There IS however a chance MCC gets looked at more now, so maybe we will get something there.And then on the unofficial side of things there's the 5 port coming out later this year.As for /hg/, Gears of War is coming and a lot of anons are going to be playing that. Maybe we'll do something Halo-esq for Haloween.
>>582206848come back in 5 years for the logo reveal come back in 8 for the 20-second teaser trailercome back in 10 for the project cancellation and death of xbox announcement
>>582207313i'll play E Day PvE with the brosNot PvP tho, Gears PvP is cancerous
>>582207313if Reforged is out in time we should take the Christmas pic there
>>582207313I hope the MCC customs browser gets mod support
>>582208673
I found from a data miner that Gears E-Day might not have private pvp matches so niggas interested in that are most likely fucked.
>>582176675Mind if I ask where this is from? Don’t think I’ve gotten halo book that was art outside of the 2004 and the scans of halo 3 artbook by Vien
>>582210743Who makes these asinine decisions lmaoHoly shit man, even Gears 5 had private lobbies
Remember when 343 tried to get Stephen "two scoops" "Israel has the right to exist" Colbert to shill Halo 5 and he shat on them for 3 minuteshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLScyD7Zmws
>One source tells me that the next Halo game under Halo Studios was years away from shipping, so Microsoft pulled the plug instead.So Microsoft basically thought "if it's years away anyways why not give it to someone else"Makes sense but I just don't understand why they don't have another studio work on it. While Activision gets a team up why not have Certain Affinity create a spinoff on the Campaign Evolved engine or some shit
>>582213002UE5 halo was a failed experiment
So what did we learn?
>>582213445Nothing.
>>582213002Infinite came out in 21. Why they take a take 5 year break in between releases? Don't say the ce remake their army of 14 outsourced studios did that cluster fuck.
>>582213445Ugly unreal engine cortana killed 343.
Is this the halo thread?
>>582215250This is the Call of Duty thread.

Who decided to reboot the whole thing? the new Halo team doesn't exist yet and I doubt Activision management gives a shit about singleplayer stuff. Was it the 343 survivors?
>>582225618Holy AI slop.
>>582225618it was just due to hypethat's all
>>582175561Asking Google AI HiddenXperia might have hope but it depends on Activision decision.

>>582228581Waste not, want not. I am extremely Miserly when it comes to money and cant be assed with pirating then downloading mods for the pirated copy.
>>582228947It was on sale around this time last year & Spartan spinoffs and Halo Wars are on sale. So it seems the next time will be in November
>>582229020ok poor
>>582229321I hope the Arbiter mpregs you
Hey Activision!
Why is hiddenxperia so panicked about halo getting rebooted and retcons?
lies for the weak, beacons for the deluded
>>582233962He has a good point about how retcons are cheap and lazy, and how they kind of open pandora's box, but with Halo there is a very VERY clear and easy line that can be set before anything 343i-related. This isn't like most things.It does beg the question of if he is being too personally attached to 343 shit, which his career is mostly based on.
>>582228947It hasn't gone on sale since Campaign Evolved got a release date.
The only things we should keep from the 343i era are some of the guns.
>>582237862just make new guns that effectively work the same.You can have your Binary Rifle Mk2 resigned as a covenant rifle or something.I don't want the promethean shit showing up ever again. Everything associated with 343's reign deserves to be forgotten.I don't even think we should be keeping much Reach shit around while we're at it. Like sure the needle rifle can stay but I don't even want the DMR anymore.
How much you wanna bet HiddenXperia is jumping at the chance to make HIS discord the official Halo fan discord now that 343's is shutting down?
will activision bring back massive femspartan gyats
>>582239126WOW!HOT a What baabhabhiat,
>>582236582
Fill in the blank:"Halo is ______."a) savedb) doomed
we had a blast with 343 Halo
Haven't touched this place since 2024. What's /hg/'s consensus on Activision's acquisition of Halo?My take is that all this Activision hate seems forced. And I've been seeing a lot of gaslighting, history revisionism, of 343's treatment of Halo from 343 shill niggers.
Yooooooo, that is crazy though. 343 has come full circle. They are literally Halo Studios, kek. You can't make this shit up
>>582240515a dog could make a better Halo than 343
>>582236582>pretends to care about 343 lore for 15 years>loses himself in the process>fans believe he actually does care and maybe even likes it more than bungie lore>suddenly realises that it might all get retconned and he might have to keep pretending he liked it forever or be called a grifter
>infinite is on sale>wars is on sale>spartan assault and strike are on sale>campaign evolved is on sale>MCC is notThey're doing this on purpose.
>>582240515>My take is that all this Activision hate seems forcedIt's not. Activision is a really shitty steward of its franchise.As Arbiter said, we trader a villain for an other. At least the people in charge are gone.
>>582240515The Activision game will probably be better than anything 343 ever put out but get ready to get extra raped when it comes to microtransactions.
evening haych gee! how are ya boys doing?
stfu yeez
>>582241995wtf bro
>>582241252Activision seems like more of a wildcard to me. So at worst case scenario, we'll get another game similar to 343's quality. But there is a chance it'll be decent. Not great, just decent. And by my personal definition, decent in this context means better than anything 343 has put out. Halo could've been handed to a more consistent company; I agree, but holy shit, the 343/Halo Studio stans are so annoying with their shit-flinging.>>582241692>microtransactionsYeah that's a given. I can't wait to pay for the color blue again! Not.
Thoughts on my idea on how to salvage the Halo story?>quickly exposition that chief gets wounded and put into cryo sleep again after the events of Halo Infinite>have him in cryo for say 100 years>this means all the 343 lore can be ignored without having to be erased, and Chief gets a soft reset back to where he was at the end of Halo 3>that way they can use Steve Downes for 1 more Halo game>they can pretend everything after Halo 3 didn't happen, and have a completely blank slate to come up with whatever new story they want
>>582242460Forced.
>>582240281if those are the options, then Saved is the correct answer
>>582242460Not enough attention to Cortana's feet.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK899FpI2XI
>>582242460stop trying to salvage 343shitjust start over after Halo 3OR better yet, just make new stories that don't involve the chief
I hate 343 and 343 shills more than I hate glowies and Israel.>all because they ruined your favorite gam-Yes.
>>582243265>I hate Israel more than I hate IsraelMe too man
Imagine they reboot the franchise and start with CE AGAINIt has to be a sequel, regardless of it either being another retelling of the story from 4 or a sequel to infiniteA spin off, as their first major title, would absolutely not work
>>582197021And even those cutscenes are pretty shit>arbiter has the brand before tartarus even brands him>pelican chaingun makes a weird techno noise when Johnson gets on it>phantom flying backwards>flood tentacle replaced with a random cable>cortana looks blurry as shit all the time
My idea for saving Halo is that they have to pull a Mass Effect Andremada. The central mystery of the forerunners, flood, and halo rings is a solved mystery and a story where we got all the answers.No new Halo game will ever recreate the feeling of the originals unless they recreate the feeling of mystery and discovery.Maybe take the species we know and love, spit them into another galaxy, and they deal with some other sci-fi Forerunner bullshit superweapon or something, or a new species, or the forerunners (as humans) who survived.IDK but something just set during the human-covenant war would be boring IMO
>have to pull a Mass Effect AndremadaThe game responsible for killing the Mass Effect franchise so bad that 9 years later the only Mass Effect content we have since is a CG trailer for the next game? Sounds like we already have a Mass Effect Andromeda
give us the original h2 plot
We are just going to get Reach again.
>>582243492Reddit tier setupabsolutely notnot every sci-fi franchise has to try and be fucking star warsThe scope of the franchise is no where near as big as fans make it seem. Halo stands strong from the focussed narrative of the Bungie era games. Take away that and the world building of Halo is not nearly as interesting
If they do reboot they should rewind to Halo 5 and make the campaign match the marketing so we can finally get this shitshow story back on track.
>>582243391>Imagine they reboot the franchise and start with CE >AGAINIt is the way
>>582244310THE HALOTHE HALO IITHE HALO IIITHE HALO REACH
retcon everything but ce (2001) and any media prior. hire the old unemployed geezers or writers from then and GIVE US THE REAL HALO
>>582243990If they keep making games in this franchise instead of letting it die a dignified death then it needs to expand it's scope and become more of a sandbox like Star Wars / 40k
>>582244310No manplease I can't go through CE AGAINI think i'll permanently drop the franchise if that's the case
kill halo
Nice, Rookie is still alive then.ODST2 soon.
rape halo :hot_face:
>>582244310AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>582244662dark n gritty sisters our response?
If they want to "Reboot", the smartest thing *imo* would be from Harvest. Relatively low effort in comparison, plus they can start their era with a title similar in tone to Reach (which fans apparently like). Introducing new fans to the franchise without having to put existing fans through another rendition of CE
>>582245352sorry but all sources say the reboot will take place in the paramount series universe. don't worry, suits know what they're doing.
>>582245618AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
me think 343 not so toughrape open easy
>>582243265Its honestly unbelievable to me that 343 has unironic fans, and that most of them are left leaning
>>582246767>and that most of them are left leaningWhat even causes this?
They should do a Fall of Reach game. Good for newbies, good for hardcores, no 343 shit.They can decide from there if they want to diverge canon or whatever.
>>582246839being a good hecking person
So what was the Endless about?
The End of 343 and Infinite's potential.
they don't even know
I would write a game where Master Chief uncovers a new artifact that disables the entire universe from sprinting on his honeymoon with Cortana (they got married) and then she gives him celebratory road head while he coasts on the beach in a Warthog, and all is right with the world.

>>582243990shut the fuck up. I have been shooting at grunts and elites for 17 fucking years. I want something new, i want them to be my friends and we can shoot at different types of aliens together, i want to command walls of grunts to crash upon my enemies, i want new weapons, i want a new setting.

>>582251268Then skip it, campaign IS ass.

The fact that they explicitly clarified that this will not be a call of duty team is a really good sign. This suggests that they understand the fear of Halo becoming something it isn’t. Before they knew anything, they knew to state clearly they are not making call of halo. Already ahead of 343.
>>582258398>we were gonna get a first strike gamei'm glad they didn't get a chance to butcher that too

After that, the Chief jumps onto the Forerunner key ship as it starts to leave. But Cortana has been plugged into a docking arm nearby and is left behind, although it appears to be unintentionally this time. Spartan 117 reaches out for her, but just as he's about to grab her chip from the plinth it's in, a pack of Brutes blows it to smithereens and she fades away. Chief then tucks himself into the ship and it enters slip-space.>UprisingPossibly same as retail. There are two Scarabs patrolling in front of the control room on The Great Journey.

>>582304434Good enough
>>582304434At least it's different. The "DUDE IT'S JUST LIKE HALO CE LOOK THERE BEAM TOWERS AND EVERYTHING" thing is beyond tired.
>>582304938The thing is Bungie laid out where the series should have gone with ODST and Reach. The war happened over 27 years. We've had a gorillion different WWII games covering different fronts, hundreds upon hundreds, but nobody could come up with different MCs and battles for Halo?
Is Activision based enough to take us back to the buttrock era? Hoobastank, Incubus, Linkin Park.
>>582305667You will get rappers instead.
>>582305667Hopefully not.
>>582304434>no chiefgood luck with that
>>582305874Halo 2 is the best game in the franchise.>>582305892Your ODST? Your Reach?Two horrendous posts back to back.
>>582305874https://youtu.be/T655Z_ccQNsLiterally one of the most iconic moments in the franchise, eliminate yourself.
>>582305215>but nobody could come up with different MCs and battles for Halo?They did. All those pitches were shot down.It's hard to convince the upper brass and marketing men that "yes we want to do a Halo but not feature the iconic green man and other iconic imagery".Bungie could do it because they had tremendous power over the franchise still at that point and MS didn't have direct creative control.
>>582305215Realistically, what do you do for Halo? Every encounter with the Covenant results in a total loss for humanity, and everything that could happen post-3 simply takes away of the finality of that game and renders its conclusion meaningless. All of the games take place in a short enough timeframe to where you have to question how you can make a full Halo game out of the between sections.
>>582306623>and everything that could happen post-3 simply takes away of the finality of that game and renders its conclusion meaningless.This is why I do not understand people clamoring for a "reset back to Halo 3 and make the *real* Halo 4".You're either going to be shooting at the not-Covenant again, the Flood again or another OC donut steel faction that just popped up out of nowhere.
>>582303137
nigga!!!
>>582306623Not him, but outer planet gets cut off from the UNSC. They suspect it's an equipment issue but most of them are busy dealing with the Covies in other areas, so they can't send a proper battle ship, but they have one reconnaissance ship near the area so they send it to investigate. That ship happens to have an ONI officer who thinks the situation is extra sus, so he sends 4 Spartans instead of Marines. (Enough for 4-player co-op)Turns out it's the Covenant, not an equipment issue. Since they are getting jammed, they can't call more UNSC for help and the ship has to play cat and mouse with other Covenant ships while the Spartans on the ground round up/rescue militia and take the fight back to the Covies.Twist is that it's a covert Covenant faction doing biological tests on the humans so eventually you have to fight mutated humans spliced with Flood DNA. But of course it's the Flood so it breaks containment and some Covies get infected too. You now have Super Flood who don't have the weaknesses of normal flood and still have the body of the host intact but with Flood abilities like whip arms or large claws, super jumps, and can communicate with each other so they are more organized than normal flood combat forms due to having their brains intact, even without a Gravemind, while finally being able to talk shit in their host's voice. (This is the reason I hated the flood, they never talk trash like Grunts and Elites do, and it was only the Gravemind doing it in 3 so it got old quick). They also don't fall apart so easily so they can ragdoll more often. And due to their stronger material, you can now wield flood-exclusive/infested weapons (that eventually break after running out of ammo or energy).Why was the Covenant doing all this in the first place? That's when the big bad finally shows up at the end. It's a new monitor who started experimenting with the flood on another Halo. Then he escapes back to that Halo. There's your after-credits stinger.
>>582251860Lego Halo it might actual sell a few copies and get kids to play the old people game.
Has anyone played Activision's non-COD games? Are they good?>Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy>Crash Team Rumble>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3,4, and 5>Spyro Reignited TrilogyI haven't played a COD game in like 20 years so I have almost no opinion on Activision as a studio, not sure how I should feel about them taking Halo
>>582309940>he thinks kids play legoanon i...
>>582306960The Banished is the closest thing to a good idea for a sequel game. A remnant force who now has nothing left and is struggling for survival is compelling, but neither side is in a position to participate in a full-scale war. And I don't think we have writers who could handle a 2004-ish GWOT retelling.>>582309705Fighting the Flood again undermines the ending of Halo 3. I guess it could work as a prequel game, but it would be so similar to Reach or Halo Wars.
>>582310048>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3,4Some of the best games ever made (4 is my favorite because they removed the timer but 3 is widely considered the best)Haven't played those other games but the new Spyros got memed on for their art style.
>>582310048I liked spyro reignited
>>582310048>Crash Bandicoot N Sane TrilogyReceived well but was harder than the original games because it still used the original hitboxes despite the new graphics and art style changes>Crash Team RumbleGot no marketing, mixed reviews and abandoned not even after 10 months>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3,4, and 5Never played these iterations but 5 is considered one of the worst games of all time, It's broken in every possible way, the game's still unplayable after 11 years>Spyro Reignited TrilogyPeople loved it, I don't care for Spyro but the remaster/remake looks like ass to me
>>582310152>Fighting the Flood again undermines the ending of Halo 3.I was thinking more during the Covenant war, or even early on, not a sequel. I don't think we need a sequel to 3. If it's a new faction or something then you're gonna need to wake up the Chief anyway and we should just let him rest. Halo ended after 3 so that's how it should stay. It would also undermind all the Believe trailers with the old guys telling their stories about Chief. Activision hasn't proved they can make a good Halo yet, they need a few spinoffs before they earn their master keys. (Then again neither did 343) Either way, I don't trust either 343 or Activision to make a good Halo, it's probably gonna be shit tbqh whatever they come up with.
>>582310743>Received well but was harder than the original games because it still used the original hitboxes despite the new graphics and art style changesCrash 1 was harder because it used the skeleton from Crash 2 and 3.In Crash 1, it was a rectangle. In Crash 2 and 3, it was an oval. This made jumps in Crash 1 significantly harder to land compared to the original, because you'd just slide off.
What if the next halo game is a third person cover shooter where you play as a grunt in a goblin mowing down humans?
>>582310956We are all buying this.
>>582310152Fuck the Banished and your 343 shit. They're boring, Brutes are not believable at all when it comes to leading a whole army (WE WUZ) and also no justification for them to be big enough to pose as big of a threat as they're implied.I'm not going to lie it's an impossible task going forward. The Flood cannot be brought back, fighting the same covenant species will get stale without any new variations or larger stakes. How do you create an entirely new threat that doesn't feel forced or cringe? Look at how Mass Effect handled the reapers
>>582311000well i guess that seals it
>>582311042>Look at how Mass Effect handled the reapersI don't play ME. What happened?
Activision's best first foray would be making a multiplayer-only title. Work on the gameplay first and then move to the story.
>>582310956Would make a decent spinoff, but at that point, I think there should be more companies working on Halo, not just Activision. I don't get Microsoft. They're so scared of spending money on their own product, but Halo could be the Mario of Xbox. I want to play a silly go-kart Halo game with Xbox mascots, or a new Fuzion Frenzy-like party game with Banjo, Steve, and Conker. I hate how Microsoft is so short-sided. They don't even need that much investment, but they're terrified of putting in the bare minimum work to do anything. wtf is their problem
>>582249861You already had your chance with the 343 era, chud, and look how that turned out.Also incredibly forced.You seriously think modern devs are capable of creating a new enemy faction that isn't incredibly cringe/gay/mixed race?
We could've used The Endless...
Post your unpopular Halo opinions
>>582311974343 has used The Endless since the day they took over Halo.It has been nothing but Endless disappointment. I have Endless fatigue.
>>582311042I don't care about how they actually turned out, but I think they could work ss a faction of ex-Covenant who effectively act as space pirates and terrorists. Mirroring what was going on after we killed Saddam Hussein. A destabilized nation scrambling to get back the control they had. The Storm Covenant's religious aspect didn't make enough sense.But it does all loop back to you not really "finishing" the fight if it keeps on going forever. Smaller conflicts can't stand up to the climax of Halo 3. There's stories that could be told, but nothing will match up to what came before it without belittling anything.
>>5823120352 sux
>>582311974Memes aside with their whole no two endless look the same and ability to create thrall species, they could have added some desperately needed variety to the alien species. But instead we got angry monkey men as the focus.
>>582312035Halo 2...not so good...didn't replace Halo 1...and got replaced by Halo 3...rather unfortunate...
It is glorious seeing all these people seething. The people who defended and supported 343 all these years while the studio ran the franchise into the ground. YOU LOST, AHAHAHHAHA. You should have listened to the OG bungie fans.
>>582312035I liked the armor on the covenant in halo 4 and 5. Even if their faces looked weird
>>582312035Halo 2 is the best game in the franchise and Halo 3 was a colossal stepdown in every metric. Worse music, worse multiplayer maps, shat on every plot thread Halo 2 setup.
>>582312242I don't want another Storm Covenant...Man that sucked in 4. It's like they really made it feel like nothing you did in the trilogies mattered. It was just the same shit all over again, but far, far worse. God it was bad, please don't make me repeat it all over again with the Banished.
>>582312035Halo 4 is a better game than vanilla Reach, but not better than TU.
>>582312562>Worse music, worse multiplayer maps, shat on every plot thread Halo 2 setup.Examples of these? Halo 3 is largely peak Halo. It's what defines Halo as a franchise.
>>582312431"We're Listening! And we hear you!"No you fucking aren't, 343. You've been ignoring us since day 1. We've been doing nothing but giving you feedback and criticism, the hell do you mean you're listening.
>>582312562No one really plays Halo 2 anymore. 3 is still popular. Halo 2 is fine for nostalgia purposes, but 3's gameplay actually still holds up, which explains why its more populated. Even Bungie was disappointed with 2.
Activision will decanonize everything and make the TV show the only canon that way everyone is miserable so the endless era of humiliation doesn't end
>>582312035I think halo 4 was 343's best game. I think people judge it based on the state it was released in, which was not good. But a year after release and many updates, the game was fine.
>>5823129933 was the point where most people joined the franchise, of course they'll continue to play it. A large portion of 3's playerbase never played 2, while a portion of those who were around before the 360 launched simply aren't very critical of how a game plays and just did it because everyone else was.
>>582312718Nearly every single map in Halo 2 was the first to be chosen for remasters/remakes in all future Halo games. Everybody looks back fondly on Lockout or Zanzibar. Nobody looks back fondly on Isolation or Epitaph.Music? Iconic, almost no other game has anything on par with Peril, Heretic - Hero, Impend, Heavy Price Paid, High Charity etc. I remember almost nothing from Halo 3 that was original, its best tracks are often reduxs of previous songs from CE and 2.Halo 3 turned Truth into a rambling retard, and threw away the Arbiter's story thread and reduced it to a five second stab in the back in a cutscene.>>582312993And I was disappointed with the mediocre garbage that was Halo 3 from day one. The reality is most 3fags never touched any game before it.
>>582313190Worst game in the franchise, by a fucking mile. It's already been discussed to death on this site since it's released and I WILL NOT do it again. Anyone who prefers that visual shitfest, with even worse loadouts than Reach, no descope and some of the worst maps in the franchise isn't worth debating in 2026. Either a contrarian or a 4babby
>>582313494>>582313190What did Halo 4 do right and wrong?
Reminder Troy Dennings wrote Operation: Meteorite
Forced.
>>582313194>>582313203I started with CE (as did most real Halo fans), and I can confidently conclude that Halo 3's multiplayer still holds up.
>>582314436This but unironically.
>>582312035Halo's story and lore are trash and hard reboot would lose nothing of value.Full of interesting ideas sure but they were all squandered by either internal trouble (Halo 2 dev) or because they didn't give a fuck anymore (Halo 3 onwards).
>>582314436Okay, then you fall into the second category of Halo fan who simply isn't very critical of game design.
>>582313594Right:>Forge maps in multiplayer, some added color customization was an improvement over Reach's all grey maps.>Boltshot is genuinely an interesting weapon (But you shouldn't spawn with it)>4 shot BR, 2 shot beatdown>Every playlist was ranked >The "Legendary" game types, no loadouts, no AAs>The SAW was a cool weapon and controlling the spread was skill basedWrong:>No descope>Sprint>Ordinance drops>Couldn't see ranks in game>Loud music in games, especially when time got low>Couldn't drop the flag
>>582313203>The reality is most 3fags never touched any game before it.Current online player bases are what's being discussed. You think most MCC owners have never tried the other games that they got along with 3?
>>582313203>Nearly every single map in Halo 2 was the first to be chosen for remasters/remakes in all future Halo games. Everybody looks back fondly on Lockout or Zanzibar. Nobody looks back fondly on Isolation or Epitaph.Seriously? You won't speak of The Ark, The Covenant, Guardian, The Pit, Construct, Narrows?
>>582314436Yeah well I'm a CEboomer too and had an ungodly amount of hours on Custom Edition on xfire and it's the worst for me.It's got the most anemic feeling weapons out of the entire franchise.
>>582315178not him Construct is shit
>>582314998>You think most MCC owners have never tried the other games that they got along with 3?They haven't, no. None of my friends bothered with the other games for certain.>>582315178All garbage, and I hated every single one of them. The only good original map in Halo 3 is Rat's Nest. Maybe Highground for One Bomb/One Flag.
>>582314906 Don't forget that you couldn't not throw the oddball, either. There was an Oddball gametype that replaced it with the Extraction device, but I don't know if anyone did that for Flag.
>>582315178>The CovenantGoes on too long and the Flood are an anti-fun nuke in Halo 3.
>>582312035Halo 4's core story idea (some forerunner's survived but are evil / trying to reclaim their old empire) is a totally fine direction to go, and it's just a shame it didn't go anyway / the forerunners weren't human
The best of Halo 3's maps barely compete with Halo 2's worst.Waterworks was considered a dud back in the day because it was so massive it made even 8v8 feel small. Infinite finally showed off how good Waterworks actually was, it was a map simply too far ahead of its time.
>>582316392It would have been a better-told story if it was a monitor that believed the Halo array and Flood were a lie and that he was simply abandoned for thousands of years, left on a planet with no contact to the outside.
>>582258398>>582258545Allegedly and it was going to be 5 missions and MAYBE a firefight mode which wouldve been scrapped because 343i wouldve actually had to do work on it. also do you really trust them to do a good job with a story like that?im actually really excited to hear what the fuck they are going to do for Halo Fest, they should just cancel it but itll be hilarious to watch people spend thousands to show up and have to watch 1 shitty tournament
>>582314906>>Every playlist was rankedThis is dumb
>>582315475>Yeah well I'm a CEboomer too and had an ungodly amount of hours on Custom Edition on xfire and it's the worst for me.>It's got the most anemic feeling weapons out of the entire franchise.What are your genuine criticisms of Halo 3?
>>582317209NTA but it's even more of a BRfest than 2.At least in 2, dual wielding was actually viable. Any plasma+ballistic combo would shred nearly as fast as the shotgun and from a further range. The Carbine also felt way better in 2, because after the Halo 3 beta they nerfed the thing into the ground.
>>582312035Blackout / lockout and guardian are not good maps. People like them because the optimal strategy is to just hold your side. No movement, everyone is good at them and understands them. Every game is a stalemate. On guardian One side has blue/gold the other has Snipe/green. On lockout, it's BR and library vs. snipe tower. Nobody moves, top mid is suicide, bottom mid is suicide. Blue lift is somewhere you never want to be and exists solely as place to spawn for a team getting slapped. Just bad map design.
>>582314906>Couldn't drop the flagPut this in the Right category.
Lockout is good for Fiesta and Swords.
>>582317871Fiesta Hill on Lockout with 8 teams of 2 was the greatest shit in the world.
Halo 2 on M+KB is absolute pain
>>582317726I don't know man, every time I have the flag I always have a teammate staring at my back following me back to the base, literally just waiting for me to die, so they can grab the flag, instead of doing any kind of shooting or protection. I like to be able to let them just have the flag. So I can shoot and hold the enemy back, because they wont.
>>582318229>Halo 2 is absolute painftfy
da cord is a hung jury
>>582317502It's not helped by Halo 2's weapon spawn system, either. Even if you hold onto an empty snipe, the new one will never spawn. Teleporters and at least a camo pickup could have gone a long way on that map.
>>582317502>Blackout / lockout and guardian are not good mapsThis is like saying Nuketown isn't a good map. You can personally not like it but decades of the masses going back again and again say otherwise.
>>582317726Nah. Being able to shoot with the flag was AIDS, you should have to choose between dealing damage and making objective progress. It also heavily discouraged anyone that had a power weapon from playing the objective. I'm glad the flagnum died in Infinite.
>>582318831anything is an upgrade from 343Toys for Fucking Bob would be an upgrade
>>582318964This is the ever-present argument of popularity equating to quality. Is Infection the best way to play Halo? It was consistently a top playlist in Reach.
>>582319392I mean that's fair.Haven't was the most popular map in 4 and I always thought it was one of the worst.
>>582319673Haven*
The Coveted Halo Goon Sesh
>>582319673Haven was the best of a bad situation. What else were you going to play as a symmetrical map, fucking Solace?It would have been laughed at if it was a Forge design in Reach, but it was treated as one of the best maps in 4 because it was a dev map that was mostly playable. Even if it was a total bore and one of the safest designs to exist.To go back to the topic of a map being bad or not, all of the most popular maps can completely fall apart at high level. Lockout, Pit, Sanctuary, Guardian. All of them ground to a halt in a competitive Slayer match, because there was so little incentive to move. I get >competitive halo, but I think 2 teams trying their best to win will quickly reveal the flaws of a map. Even if it is something loved by people who aren't so good at the game. It's easy to overlook certain flaws when you aren't as invested in something.

>>582320497Coco's cocos.
Reach is fun when you don't pick Sprint
>>582320475I think there's a stark difference between a Halo map that is good for high level comp play and a map that is just crazy "fun"One thing I appreciate about the earlier games is that you can essentially play any game mode on any map, regardless of how rediculous that may play out.
>>582321496>I think there's a stark difference between a Halo map that is good for high level comp play and a map that is just crazy "fun"Maybe a little. Maps like Creek and Midship have been consistently really good.>One thing I appreciate about the earlier games is that you can essentially play any game mode on any map, regardless of how rediculous that may play out.Yeah. That's one thing that has been lost to time, sadly. But even with Halo 2 they started designing maps with a single mode in mind.
>>582321496>>582321926>you got your bros over for a game night>got your snacks and game fuel ready>"alright guys, first game is Big Team Race on Boarding Action"
>>582319121>Being able to shoot with the flag was AIDSWho said anything about being able to shoot with the flag?>you should have to choose between dealing damage and making objective progress.You made this choice as soon as you picked up the flag. Now you have to deal with the consequences.This is the way Halo was meant to be played.
>>582322747>This is the way Halo was meant to be played.Clearly not, because you could drop the flag in the real Halo games.
>>5822109722009 Encyclopedia
picking up the flag shouldn't slow you down
Picking up the flag should slow you down. If you want to go faster, throw it ahead of you and give away your position.
>RED is already an activision shillsad!
>>582323830don't stick your dick in crazydon't give up your wizard powers
>>582323830lies and slanderi'm on record saying I hated activision more than EA back in the day
>>582323118>Flag Take-Flag Dr-Flag taken-Flag Dropped-Flag Taken-Flag Dr-Flag Ta-Flag Drop-Flag Ta-Flag Dropped-Flag-Bungie did not take into account that CTF would be played by cowardly weasels. This is NOT the way Halo was meant to be played. They made CTF expecting players to walk the flag to the destination, not jumping and dropping it to try to shortcut their way to victory. Preventing the flag being drop will cure the cancer that has played CTF for far too long. CTF should be played by real Spartans, not cowardly, lazy Grunts. Walk the flag home, stop taking shortcuts, and clear the immediate area before you push the objective. Enough of this half-assed wishy-washy bullshit. Grab the flag, or don't.
>>582324256Red knows ball.
>>582324286plagued* (not played)
>>582324286They already fixed the announcer spam in Reach. Not my fault they didn't have the foresight to do that in 3.If they didn't want players to be able to drop the objective, they would have prevented players from being able to drop the objective. But they didn't, so it was clearly intended.
>>582323830he's not pro activision, he's just of the mindset that sticking with 343 is at this point the definition of insanity and shaking things up at all is by definition a chance worth takingIf you want to shit on him, shit on him for saying RWBY is anime
>>582324286>They made CTF expecting players to walk the flag to the destination, not jumping and dropping it to try to shortcut their way to victory.They knew about flag juggling since at least Halo 2, and did absolutely nothing about in 3 and Reach. Being "cowardly" is an intended way to play the game.
>>582324730>Being "cowardly" is an intended way to play the game.It's literally built into the health system.
>>582324408on occasion>>582324632take it up with the Japanese
This flag shit is so easy.
>>582324898old webm
>>582324515Bungie didn't want one weapon being overwhelmingly useful so they dropped the BR and and made the DMR. Bungie isn't all powerful and all-knowing. They introduced sprint to Halo. They didn't intend for it to be a mainstay mechanic either but look where we are now.
halo activision will have a flood zombies mode
>>582324898
>>582324730They did something about it in Reach. They added traits that linger for a few seconds after dropping the flag. There's no point in juggling in vanilla gametypes. That said, you can still drop the flag.
>HaloFollower going on the fucking warpath and basically calling HiddenLisperia a spineless shill who's afraid he might have to work during the Halo downtime in his latest video
>>582324730>Being "cowardly" is an intended way to play the game.It's a bug that hasn't been fixed yet.
>>582324898n00b tier gameplay, always has to use melee
>>582324898This is what a real Spartan looks like. This is the way Halo was meant to be played.
>>582325026They nerfed precision weapons in every game, they clearly attempted to do something about it. Whether or not it was successful is irrelevant. If they didn't want people dropping the flag, they would have removed that ability. But they didn't, so clearly it was a part of their design.What next? Are you going to advocate for players to have 0 movement speed inside the hill?

I'd go as far as to say he's honestly got a pretty based take overall here. Especially about the Activision fears>oh no, microtransactions!Bro we already have those, and in many cases they're more offensive than in CoD, as he points out.
i had more fun on the mw4 beta than infinite desu
halo 7 should be an elite focused game where you play as an elite
>>582327229fr?
>>582309940>>582267743>Halo MEGA is permanently dead nowLego is so ready for the license. Give me Lego Halo!!!!!!
>>582327358Elites will probably be operators at least, more than 343 did with them
I know you're memeing about 0 movement in the hill, but what about reduced movement speed?The thing with the hill is that you're constantly making progress unless the enemy is also in the hill, and all the action is on the hill and you don't have to deal with cowardly/weaslely shenanigans, where as with the flag, you either score with the flag or don't, but there's a ton of downtime of nothing actually happening other than the timer running down. If no team makes progress, no one scores. You don't really run into that problem with KOTF because scoring is more constant. It is a good idea though, like why not try it and see how it turns out.
KotH is fine. Stop trying to fix it.
>>582327358You just want to have sex with an Elite, be honest.Me? I want to have sex with a female Spartan, so I think female Spartans should continue to be playable. I don't play as a female Spartan though, because I'm a man. But mostly because I can't see her in cutscenes anyway. This was one of the few good things about Reach.
>>582327776I can fix her. (Yeah, her.)
We need to stop thinking this game will play anything like CoD. They haven't even gotten together a dev team yet.
>>582327601That would make it even easier to just chuck nades in the hill. Nobody inside would be able to dodge them.
>>582328241This. It will play worse than Nu-COD and Nu-Halo. Brace yourselves for the worst. The best thing that can happen is that we can be pleasantly surprised if it's decent. But ultimately, we should just assume it's gonna be shit.
>>582328241It's actually gonna play like banjo and kazooie nuts & bolts
>>582327776I like how Infinite's timed objective modes pause the game timer while one team is scoring.
>>582328338+50% damage resistance to grenades on the hillThis would also cure the bad behavior of just spamming grenades at the hill
>>582328241It's going to be an ODST game that plays like Black Ops 7. Zeta Halo's conflict is staying on indefininite hiatus.
>>582328546I hate this. The objective matches drag on too long in Infinite. In fact, that mode where you have to stay on the point until you finally score is absolute garbage. You should be constantly scoring on the hill. The games take way too long and no one makes any progress.
>>582328876>Zeta Halo's conflict is staying on indefininite hiatus.No it will conclude offscreen in a book. They won't even mention it in the next Halo because they'lll expect you to read the book....Wait...that was 343's game design philosophy. Does Call of Duty even publish any books or other media outside of the games?
>>582329157There's been like a few comics here and there but nothing relevant to the game's story as far as I'm concerned. Also apparently Warzone sometimes follows up on some side stories but I wouldn't know I don't play CoD.
>>582329157They're making a movie I think but that's the only external media they're involved with
>>582329157Nigga Rebs just said that apparently our other Nigga Pierre is currently pulling all of the stops trying to get funding, even if minimal, approved for full outsourcing (LOL) of the remakes of Halo 2 and 3, needless to say Activision is just not listening to anything and neither Xbox or MS, hopeless.Apparently Halo Studios was also working on a game adaptation of the First Strike book to bridge the gap between the remake of Halo CE and Halo 2.That's interesting because it means that then if the model worked out then Halo 2 to Halo 3 remake was going to get bridged by a short game adaptation of the Halo Uprising comic and 3 was not going to get anything lol.
>>582329157i don't particularly care about a reboot if done properly, i'm just worried they'll just leave chief's story incomplete.if he's not in the next game at least let steve say goodbye with one last audiobook.
>>582329889They definitely need him to at least win another melee with Atriox so it gets even and then they can freeze the Chief and Joy somewhere, Esparza can go back to Spacexico or something, he was done with war before it even started.
>>582329805Would've been shit and released in 2031 if even that earlyFirst Strike is too kino for those tards to adapt.
>>582328876>hiatusThank fuck. Chief and the best ship in your armed forces goes missing for like 6 months and you never send a fleet to investigate what the fuck happened? They went missing on a mission to save the galaxy from the crazy AI at least send something to see if they accomplished their mission. I fucking hated that shit.
>be halo dev>achieve nothing of worth after halo for decades>still in mid life crisisWhy is this most of ex-Bungie devs?
>>582330676Ring jumped away to bumfuck nowhere. The UNSC just didn't know where the fuck they went after the scouts did not find Zeta Halo where it was.The real anomaly and fuckass writing was the Banished not sending even one ship back to known space to ask for reinforcements or supplies. They just stayed there losing personnel and resources daily while aiding an AyyLmao that was even more AyyLmao than them due to the orders of a dead space monkey.
>>582328546yup, my favorite thing Infinite did was what it did to KOTH
>>582330907Seems pretty common among game devs in general, I mean think about Carmack and Ramero, or the guys who made Deus Ex.Nintendo / Japanese devs seem more immune to this for some reason, wonder why
>>582330907mid life crisis always hits, no matter how rich you are or how much you've achieved.
>>582331670They switch between genres, they also make their own games if they get kicked out of the corpo game industry. That's how Masahiro Sakurai has stayed on top of his game besides the Kirby rep.Burger devs have one flop and they immediately give up or try to recapture the magic of old titles instead of just slightly improving upon future titles.
>>582328441>It will play worse than Nu-COD and Nu-Halo.Very very good. The Halo playerbase has been retarded forever and deserves as bad as it gets.
Halo has already been saved.The saviors of Halo?They are:>Halo 3: Ultimate Firefight Series>Halo Custom Edition: SPV3>Halo 2 Anniversary: Ruby's Rebalanced Halo 2Halo status? Saved.
Halo status? Played.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzrL65y50TA
>>582328441I'm optimistic. It is not possible to be worse than halo studios. They released Halo CE remastered twice and neither one had as much content as the original. How do you skip multiplayer twice? I don't think activision ever released a Cod game with no multiplayer.
>>582332910you forgot Halo 5: Reforged
>>582333257it'd be retarded to release a cod with no mp but looking at their recent campaigns, my hopes for halo aren't too high
>>582333480>you forgot>Halo 5: Reforged
>>582333480it's gonna get dmca'd when it reaches 99% progress like all projects of this type
>>582328804It would make anyone standing in the hill way easier to kill in general.
>>582329019Then shorten the overall round timer. I dislike games being mathematically impossible to win.
So whatever pre-production 343 did on the next halo is scrapped and activation is starting fresh and only just now building a team. When's the earliest we could get another halo game? 2030 if they rush out a game with a small scope?
>>582334129game reveal in 2030, actual release sometime in 2032
>>582333828yeah i'll never understand retards who publicly announce projects like this when they're not close to finishing it
>>582333867+50% damage resistance to most forms of projectile damage while on the hill+75% damage resistance to grenades while on the hill+0% damage resistance to mele damage while on the hill-50% movement speed while on the hillThe hill is constantly moving slowly along a random route, about 10% of normal player speedThe mode is called Fat King of the Hill
>>582334381They weren't close to finishing anything though, they were literally just in the planning phase for all those games nothing actively being developed on despite it being 5 years since infinite and most of the work for CaE being outsourced. I don't expect much from Activision but it honestly can't get that much worse
>>582334294>11 years of halo infiniteimagine
>>582334940i'm talking about randoms announcing their unofficial game ports/remasters, then getting DMCA'd.

>>582334129We where going to have to wait no matter what. 343 was still in the pitching ideas stage for halo 7 when they got axed. But yeah I'd say 4 years.
>>582334486That's retarded
>>582335326these people were really just sitting on their asses doing nothing for so long, thank god Phil got fired
>>582335326they had smaller games in the pipeline to fill the gap but those are gone as well
>>582337752I didn't really have any hope for anything after they fumble CE twice. Like, 15 years of knowledge and a modest previous game and their second attempt at CE felt mid.
>>582340816You really think anyone working at 343i outside of managerial positions has been there for more than 5 years?
did we like grapple hook yay or nay
>>582342228Yes because it distracted us from how boring infinites campaign was. Seriously take out the grapple and imagine playing the campaign
>>582342228If they removed sprint and kept the grapple, i would be fine with it. But Activision is Activision. We are going to get spider-man swinging, 10 thruster charges, super sprint besides spring and wall running + super sliding and double jumping next game.
>>582342228It sucked because it gave you the false that you could go anywhere.
>>582342228>did we like grapple hook yay or nayin a vacuum yesbut it kind of breaks the game
>>582342591I want to fly around on a spartan jet pack like im the rocketeer.
>>582343207If they go crazy with the mobility and refuse to turn back, they might as well just give us every possible option. Jetpacks, teleporting, a real dash, climbing besides clamber, wall jumping. Fuck it. Make the Spartans nigh unstoppable and keep the same tricks for the enemy supersoldiers too. It's Activision, if there's no reboot, these guys are inevitable
>>582342228Everyone should have spawned with 2 grapple charges.
>>582343207It's called Anthem.
>>582343892Or one free grapple that recharges every 2 minutes if you can't grab the ones from the map and currently have nothing else equipped.
>>582344283Nah, treat it like grenades. 2 off spawn. One to use right away, another to pick up off a dead body.
>>582344531That too.
>>582343789I wish raven soft wasn't just a cod aux nowadaysIf this shit happened before 2011 i could see them taking a good shot at a high mobility quake like halo
>>582306623Jeez I guess just give up. Or maybe people put their fucking heads together and come up with something cool.I think humans should go back to killing eachother and enter a state of civil for mishaps handling the war. Im not familiar but aren't the humans essentially fucked after the war?I think a reboot is retarded. Just retcon everything 343 did and move on. The reboot is doesnt solve anything.
>>582348730civil war stuff is fine in lore and side stories but a mainline game not focusing on alien enemies might as well just be cod

>>582378406if they can get it working better then sure whatever
>>582378406Honestly i'm fine if the harvest certain code and behaviors from Slipspace into their custom quake II Engine. All I care is the game plays enough like older Halos.
>>582371859Making a Halo game around Co-Op and proceeding not to have Split Screen was bone headed retarded.You play Halo Co-op with your brother and most parents aren't going out to buy two consoles.
All me btw.
>>582378406nothing special from the player's perspective, and if it was a pain to develop with then i see no reason to keep it.

The Spartan IVs were one of the worst things to happen for Halo's story. The reason the Chief was so fascinating is he was one of the last supersoldiers. It also doesn't help that they failed to make any engaging or likable Spartan IV characters outside of the mainline games. The ODSTs should've remained ODSTs.
