About to start this for the first time. What should I expect compared to 2 and 3? Because I absolutely loved those two...

Absolutely nowhere near as good as the original trilogy, OP, but I still enjoyed it. Hope you do too.

Indecipherable lorefaggotry if you aren't a bookfag, weird visual aesthetic, boring locations and MOMMY Cortana.

I wish I could play reach, but I'm borrowing a Xbox one and all I have is the master chief collection

That's even worse.

This

I started playing, and I don't know what you're on about. The storm rifle seems based

>better than Reach
In your fucking dreams

To be dissappoint

How come?

It's coming to MCC soon and I cannot wait. Fucking loved Reach. Halo 3 is my favourite FPS of all time.

Don't worry, Reach is coming to MCC soon!

Also play ODST

Reach had both a shit campaign and multiplayer made by a studio that no longer gave a shit.

the gun itself is fine but having 2/3rds of the arsenal locked off gets irritating

ODST had such a fucking great atmosphere

Reach had both a shit campaign and multiplayer made by a studio that no longer gave a shit.

Reach had a great campaign and one of the best multiplayer experiences, you high nigger

Fucking shit is what you should expect. Character assassination of both Cortana and Master Chief and just a fucking terrible plot. Did you read 7 books? No? Prepare to be completely lost

A fucking Reachkid.

>Character assassination of both Cortana and Master Chief and just a fucking terrible plot.
What little character MC and Cortana had, a resolute soldier and a sassy AI, is only fleshed out. I cried at the ending. Shame Halo 5 destroyed it.
>Did you read 7 books? No? Prepare to be completely lost
Only if you can't pick up on explicit explanations

>ODST had such a fucking great atmosphere
I agree but this seems to be the only good thing anyone can ever say about ODST.

>old game good!
>new game bad!

Good story and voice acting but tedious levels. The SAW, incineration cannon and binery rifle are the most powerful weapons.

Campaign is mediocre, but Cortana is hot as fuck.

>Cried at the ending

Lmao really? You cried at Cortana turning into a bridge and killing herself?

That's because it's the only thing ODST really does, outside of that, it's really boring.

A good fap to Cortana
then turn off the Xbox cause the game is shit

Halo CE-3 were very good and Reach was bad.

You completely fucking misunderstood Cortana and chief you fucking dumb cunt

Explain why Reach was bad without mentioning armor abilities (which were mostly irrelevant or turned off anyway in most matches)

A pretty decent story that tries to add a little bit of humanity to chief's character never seen in the games. But the gameplay is pretty ad
>Weak level that is terribly linear
>The same 3 repetitive enemies
>FUCKING QTE's
>one of the worst exposition dumps i have ever seen
>Was never a fan of the art style
>READ MORE OF THE BOOKS FAGGOT
>ONLY 8 LEVELS and 2 of them are Memorable

Also watch the terminals if you haven't read the Forerunner books. Infact watch it here before you play: youtube.com/watch?v=bznq4Zr2gTw

For those of us with emotions, Cortana effectively killing herself to save a crestfallen Chief is upsetting. Sorry you can't interact with media fully, user.

Explain to me how a silent protagonist and a one-dimensional AI are 'characters' that can be misunderstood. 4 is a natural evolution of the threadbare traits they had.

ARMOR ABILITIES
terrible story
terrible and bland characters
terrible and mediocre levels
terrible campaign
canon inconsistencies with the lore and Halo CE-3
terrible gameplay
terrible multiplayer
terrible maps
terrible Firefight

>outside of that, it's really boring.
And yet, it has very similar gameplay to the other Halos. What gives?

NPC tier opinion

Holy fuck that ending is completely dog shit. Alrighty so Chief punches a fucking nuke right? Alright alright not get this Cortana uses the hardlight emitters (which should be destroyed mind you because everything else was) to create a hard light bubble to "feel" the chief cuz she always wanted to do that (even when the novels now state she could just give him a handjob whenever) and then the hardlight fades out. Alright so where the fuck was the power source? Did she shield that too as well as the emitters? Why did the power source go? They can stand up to a nuke blast but not touching the chief? Where's her data stored? Did she delete herself? can't they just reboot the system she was stored on to get her back?

Ending is written by complete brainlets for cheap emotional jabs that make absolutely no sense and you're a fucking retard for eating it up

Bungie stopped caring and trying after Halo 3.

No one cares what you think, Reachkid.

The campaign was alright but got really pseudo-christy/evangelion near the end which just gives me an aneurysm thinking about it. Multiplayer just tried to be a better Reach and failed spectacularly. The armor customisation for multiplayer and the ost were great though

the worst halo with 5 don't play it complete garbage made by 343.

Remember when an angry basketball was the Chief's greatest enemy

>Did you read 7 books? No? Prepare to be completely lost
>even when the novels state
Good job poking holes in the science fiction story. Did you ever notice that they have spaceships that work in atmosphere as well as space? HOW UNREALISTIC!!!
I'd rather an emotional story that makes no sense than a bland story that makes no sense, which is what the trilogy had

The new enemies are incredibly tedious to kill and the whole game just feels like you're beating a dead horse. Couldn't bring myself to finish but I got pretty close.

>terrible [feature from game]
343 cucks need to be hung.

FPBP

The only objective part of that is the canon and armor abilities. Rest is just your shitty opinion. Not to defend Reach, but just saying "terrible X" is not a convincing argument.

>everyone that doesn't like Reach is a 343 cuck
Drink bleach, Reach boy.

The characters are one dimensional, the story barely ever picks up and the plot doesn't exist until the second to last levels. None of the levels were memorable, the gameplay felt slow and unfun to play, it's like the controls were fighting the player, multiplayer was a complete and other mess.

>>why is it bad?
>it just is, okay?!

>None of the levels were memorable
>air dropping in to disable the big bubble shield
>Sabre dogfight
>crash landing back to the planet
>flying around the cityscape between skyscrapers

>Objective: Survive

Not really, unlike TFA, H4 isn't a carbon copy of CE.

What is with Reachtards needing to defend their game religiously.

>try to shit on game
>get btfo
>w-why are you defending the game idiots

>you aren't supposed to disagree with me!

>get btfo
But I didn't, it's just a well known fact that Reachfags always defends Reach when someone shits on the game.

But you're doing that exact thing because many people don't like Reach.

Its truly awful. the story is garbage, and the new enemies are copy and paste covenenant baddies.
Remember, to understand the story, apparently you are now required to read like 6 comic books, watch some live-action movie, and read a couple stand-alone novels. Its fucking shit

>people defend things they like
>this makes said thing bad

Great shit with Chief and Cortana
Meh shit with the UNSC
Awful shit with the Forerunners

Are people mixing up 4 and 5? 4 doesn't rely too much on the expanded lore and the stuff it does it explains. 5 is when it gets awful

The plot dump from The Librarian was garbage

Why a chicken vampire suddenly wants to kill all humans is the main plot point of H4, all of which you needed to cover in the expanded lore. (Waypoint terminals, Forerunner books)
Even if you read the H3 terminals, there's little info about who these characters were and it just says they died long ago.
They could have also done something cool with Mendicant Bias or Offensive Bias, but no. Only room for senile waifu mommy AI.

I thought it had a good campaign, that might be because I don't like the flood very much. 343 guilty spark is like the only flood mission I like, and maybe that one from halo 2 because I get to use lasers and duel weild needlers

What? I never did any of that and I understood Halo 4's story just fine. This isn't Kingdom Hearts level of retardation in storytelling

Halo 4 was pretty understandable, Halo 5, on the other hand, was a mess, Brian Reed can't write for shit, his writing is on par with Yoshio Sakamoto's.

Halo 4's campaign was alright, not sure why there's so many complainers. Most of it is very touching Chief and Cortana moments, and showing how far Chief is willing to defy UNSC for her. I liked that.

Now, Halo 5's campaign, that's a completely different story. Completely abysmal even as a die-hard fan of the Halo lore. sure it had fun multiplayer, but god damn that fucking campaign left such a sour taste in my mouth I only played ~10 or so hours of Halo 5's multiplayer before dropping the entire game altogether.

This, Halo 5's campaign was just....why did they hire Brian Reed?

>Halo 1: Cortana is a GPS
>Halo 2: Cortana is a GPS
>Halo 3: Cortana is a GPS
>Halo 4: NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO I CAN'T LIVE WITH OUT YOU SWEETIE AAAHHHHHHHHHH

I guess if you're an incel it makes sense you're fine watching a character develop into a manchild for no reason

>Halo 3: Cortana is a GPS
You know that isn't true.

More emotion and bonding in 1 minute than the entirety of Halo 4.
My main problem with 4 was indeed the exaggerated "Chief is a human with feelungs!" plotline, being forced to use terrible alien weapons, swarmer bionicle enemies and the fucking 'Press X to win" final boss (Holy shit, why?)

Campaign is boring, I actually enjoy the multiplayer though, but that's because I'm really fucking good at it. I don't know why, but it's like my DNA is coded to be good at Halo 4, I can go months without playing it, hop in and get 30 kills in a match

>>Halo 3: Cortana is a GPS
Did you... fucking miss the *entire* first half of Halo 3 where he goes on a crusade, destroying everything in his way to get Cortana back? Even seeing voices/flashbacks of her

Great game, different from the first trilogy, tons of lore that can get people who are not into the lore confused

Lore, sure, but only a retard will not be able to understand the story.

H3 has as much emotional Cortana stuff as 4.

Expect Call of Duty. Enemy weapons do a ton of damage so you can never jump right into a crowd like you used to. Now you'll hang pretty far back where you can constantly move behind cover and pick them off with mid-range weapons, just like a CoD campaign.

It will be till you're tired of it

>explicit explanations
God I fucking wish
>"why are we at war with the Covenant"
>"AlOt CaN hApPeN iN 4 YeArS"
I'm still mad

>Expect Call of Duty
>you can never jump right into a crowd like you used
>just like a CoD campaign
LMAO, post your achievement list, you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
