Halo Reach

its the worst but better by miles to 343 "games"

Is all the customizable bits available day 1 or do you still have to unlock it all?

It would be really weird for them not to have it.

I liked Reach better than 3 story wise.

do this right and we'll buy your next game 343, simple as that

Noble Team were horribly boring. Reach needed a Seven Samurai/Maginificent Seven style ensemble cast which it sort of tried to do but completely failed.

Thoughts on the plot my niggas? I for one liked it, though Noble Team could have been much more interesting

>When you actually start surviving

I thought it was good. The only thing I hated is how Noble Squad were wearing all these different colours for no discernible reason; rather then wearing the standard issue green. (which I hope mods remedy this problem)

Barring that, I liked the plot. I loved how Noble 6 is essentially you, I liked that. Overall I only played the single player; and I thought the game was a great send off from Bungie. Just one man's opinions.

I really hope they keep that. The saving of credits, the actual feeling of earning that dumb attachment on the helmet. I've missed it so much.

Yeah, I don't know man. I don't think that kind of freedom is given to the Navy Seals or the SAS.

There's some lore/trivia for that

>As shown in an early production note, Kat was originally intended to have been born in 2529, and was supposed to have been conscripted as a part of Alpha Company. In this version, she and Carter were the last remaining members of a SPARTAN-III team known as "Blue Team" (not to be confused with the SPARTAN-II unit). This is also apparent by the similar coloration of their armors in early concept art.[14]
in other words Noble 1 and Noble 2 both wear different shades of blue because they were part of the same team originally

in the game, Kat and Carter are the last remaining members of the "original" Noble team so the same concept remains. Noble team does have other Spartans kept on rotation depending on the mission. There were supposed to be more members in the game but they were cut out.

So it's been officially retconned in Halo Reach that Spartans don't wear a Military Green for their standard issue?

That just seems like a shame to me man.

JFO chad here

I think thats part of its appeal though. All of the mainline halos have a main character that's a defined badass pulling off crazy and surreal stunts to save humanity from this massive alien threat.

Reach is the inversion of that- you are one, nameless soldier on the ground, going from A to B, following orders. All of your friends die around you, and at the end you give your life in favor of a cause greater than you. You're not the hero, you're a footnote, and I love that.

This.

Fucking loved nearly every armor type- I really hope it gets the remaster treatment. Seeing some of the metallic and visor options in modern visuals will be like sex.

I did hear they were doing a Reach-like progression system, hopefully it also adds to the artsyle.

Me too. However - objectively, it's only good if you've played through the rest of Bungie's Halos, before playing it. People who think playing Reach as an introduction to the series just because it's a prequel are wrong.

Had a real stormtrooper vibe.

Not sure if anything suggests an actual retcon

Besides doesn't Jun wear green/olive? Jorge seems to be olive too except his orange chest piece and some red highlights on the shoulders, but we know he has some "additions" made. He was probably green originally.

If I were to guess though, there are probably a set of "standard issue" colors like black, white, tan/brown & olive or "steel" (unpainted?) Basic earthly colors or monochrome "factory new" variants for testing.

Blue looks cool but I always thought it was kind of weird from a camouflage perspective. And yes, I remember the original Spartan III armor. It still exists too, but it was always entirely different from MJOLNIR. It's cheap and probably a tier above ODST armor, but it actually has stealth capabilities.

Best helmet

Steam page lists co-op

Maybe to blend in with the covie shit

Reach had more options but also more filler whereas H3 had the most iconic/distinct silhouettes

the best armor in reach is the stuff worn by noble team desu

Perhaps it's not a retcon but I feel like the real reason Noble Team has widely differen't colours so that the player character wouldn't feel ostracised if he was the only guy wearing different colours while the rest of the squad is in uniform
But I do think it's a missed oputunity, before Reach we never saw a squad of Spartans before, and instead of seeing them as a tactical operator unit of elite, trained soldiers.

what did bungie mean by this?

I like Reach because it wasn't just a sequel.

People often forgot Halo 3 was the sequel to the shit show Halo 2's story was, ending on the worst cliffhanger ever. Many like the Halo series for its gameplay, its world, its artstyle and music, and much less for its story. Let's say it accompanies the shooting, that's all we need.

That's what made ODST and Reach shine so fucking much, because it was more Halo, but it wasn't just another sequel. Not that it's surprising, spinoffs are always underappreciated.

This guy gets it.

Yeah I guess you're right. Played 1 and 2 so much. 3 came out and was too busy with college to play really. Reach came out near the end and I had time to play it. So I played 3 and was kind of underwhelmed, but played reach and loved it. meh.

Reach armor is objectively an improvement over 3
Stay mad

2 will always hold a special place in my heart, I spent way to many fucking hours on it online and met some top lads. But 3 is basically superior to it in everyway.

This, I hated Reach back then and I still hate it today, Reach fans are as bad as fags that make Metroid Other M threads asking was it really that bad. 2010 was such a shit year for Microsoft and Nintendo.

I WILL STAY IN THE MESS I MADE

Reach was tacticool bullshit with brown shit thrown at the screen, it was the start of Halo's downfall in art design that only got worse when 343 took over, eat shit, zoomer. Halo 2 and 3 had better-looking ODSTs and everything else.

3 > 2 > 5 > CE > (power gap) > Reach > 4

Halo 3's is actually Halo 3:ODST's. Whoever made these shit images that everybody continues to post needs to apply themselves.

wow I'm shocked. 343 did a complete 180 on the art design you shiteating monkey, that's why it looks so awful, it went back to 1 and then tried modernizing it.

I think the Reach ODST suffers from having extremely thick legs that turn him into a rectangle when they're vaguely together.

halo CE on pc was my first halo played it as a kid, loved it. couldn't get 2 to work on my computer so had to miss out on it till around reach time, got a 360 one Christmas to play 3, was a poorfag with no internet, so not up to date with everything and had to play offline splitscreen and didn't know odst existed until it was brought for me from blockbuster preordered reach there and played it non stop, the customization gave it so much replayability unlike oither halo games offline. I Loved the trailers for halo and i liked the Aliens films and the film Equilibrium's aesthetic as a kid, the bulky tech, the grimey army look the brutalist industrial architecture etc reach for me fit the more gritty militaristic dark totalitarian sci fi with man fighting a horrific hopeless war against a relentless enemy. With sacrifice and duty as main themes. The other games beside odst feel almost like science fantasy and are to colourful for my tastes. Reach is my favourite, still playing it today but i hate that noble aren't green and the marines look like cod soldiers etc after reach id say 1,3,2,odst,wars

it's brought up constantly by people who hate the game, so I'd like to know why

It retconned the first Halo novel that came out before Reach. The fall of Reach really was a footnote for the halo lore before the first book so they kinda needlessly messed up peoples headcanon for no real benefit.

No powergaps

The Fall of Reach was quick and traumatic event, with massive ground battles and the majority of Spartan 2's dying defending the generators supplying the orbital defenses.
In the game the Covenant somehow lands a fucking supercarrier on the planet without anyone noticing and we see almost none of the big battles that were hyped up so far. I don't really have a problem with Noble Team since I like Spartan III's quite a lot, but not seeing the desperate fighting at the generator bunkers or the Spartan 2's doing orbital drops by jumping out of Pelicans in their was a huge letdown.

And that guy quit like last week, so it's fucked.

>putting chicks death above anything
The fuck is the point of all that armor and shields if one shot can kill you

I'm not even a book nerd but I'm mad at how it fucked up canon to Halo CE, 2, and 3, how the levels sucked, how the story sucked, how shallow the characters were, how forced everything was from Noble Team's death to Cortana and the Pillar of Autumn being shoved into the game to try to force Reach in with the first three games, and I was pissed about all of the cockteases that led nowhere, campaign was outright trash and the multiplayer was just the same as the campaign.

her shield was down thanks to the explosion a moment earlier. she had terrible luck

I forgot, I wasn't fond of Bungie shoving bookshit (Spartan IIIs) in the games and trying to compare them with Spartan IIs (Master Chief).

she was the last to have her helmet on so shields probably weren't recharged

I mean I agree Reach was trash but I don't see how it fucked up the canon for any of the other games

Can't come soon enough, ever since its been announced I've been reminiscing and hyping myself up as memories of playing it on the xbox come flooding back to me.

Can't wait for swat and fire fight, those two were the funnest shit I've ever played in an FPS, and grunt birthday party made me deadly in swat.

I hope we get Halo: Custom Edition-like mods so we can play around with the campaign and everything however we like. Make forge even better.

You would only know the difference if you read the books or wikidive, they don't even reference Chief as a Spartan 2 in the games and I don't think they mention Noble team being 3s in game either.

This is all just stuff from playing the original trilogy.
For some reason they didn't want to devote time to a big space battle, even though they have a space mission where it would be an ideal distraction to hijack the corvette and justify returning to the flagship for repairs. Or do the mission,the UNSC fleet arrives, THEN the rest of the Covenant fleet arrive, and you fall to the planet watching a shitstorm unfold in space. Would make sense as the next missions focus on regrouping/civilian evac, and they wouldn't be able to evac at all without a fleet presence buying them breathing room.

Also kinda miffed how it seemed like you were the only Spartans on Reach when that's where most of the SII's died.

none of that is any kind of serious canon violation, just you autistically nitpicking trivial gameplay and aesthetic details and shit from the fucking manual lmao

Yes, it is, you stupid COD child.

>T-the aesthetic doesn't match on several of these throwaway vehicles and enemies!
Literally none of Halo's aesthetics as a franchise has remained the same beyond a few examples. The Wraith changed between CE and 2. The Scorpion and Wraith changed again between 2 and 3. The pistol has changed God knows how many times. Chief's gauntlets inexplicably changed between the ending of Halo 2 and the beginning of Halo 3. The Elites have physically changed between all games, and their armor designs drastically changed between 2 and 3. I could go on and on.

It's literally the establishing setting of CE.
Or does reading the "Story so Far" summary in the game manual count as being a bookfag you stupid faggot?

Halo CE-3 felt like natural progressions when you throw all that shit in a game before Halo CE-3 it throws everything off. Don't even get me started on how Reach made the UNSC seem both primitive and more advanced than what is seen in Halo CE-3 and the Covenant seem more advanced.

It's called being consistent, something Bungie forgot after Halo 3. Of course, COD kids like you would accept it, it was your first Halo games after all.

I don't think he'd be down

I believe the more advanced part was explained by it being fucking Reach. It's the UNSC's main planet for military tech, all the prototypes and newly issued weapons could absolutely be expected to be there. In 1, you're with the haggard remnants of that battle's survivors, and the equipment you have is limited to what was on the Autumn when it left.
Then with 2 and 3 you're either back on earth (aka a similar case to Reach) or on a prepared expedition where there was time to equip everybody with the best of what the UNSC has left. But a lot of the fancy prototypes from Reach burned up with the planet itself, so you still aren't quite back up to that level of technical sophistication.

I love how this thread has 300+ replies and is just the name of a game. Halo is special you can't deny it.

Fuck no, Halo Wars had the best looking marines.

She was 12 years old when she was 160cm

>Lucy is one of the smallest Spartan-IIIs. At age 12, at the time of Operation: TORPEDO, she was only 160 centimeters (5 ft 3 in) tall and weighed 70 kilograms (150 lb) which was small for a Spartan-III of that age. Even as an adult she remained small, being only slightly taller than Veta Lopis, in stark contrast with Tom and her other fellow Spartans. She has neotenous facial features with a pale complexion, wide dark brown eyes] and black hair worn close-cropped. Her gait was noted as being short and careful.
While Spartan III's mostly eventually grew up to the same height as Spartan II's, she just remained shorter than the rest.

what a womenlet

it out yet?

>160 centimeters
>70 kg

Based caboose

Weren't they almost all army in Reach not marines? Either way I appreciated the heavier armor/look of the army guys compared to the marines because they didn't have to worry about mass/volume while deploying from set planetary bases instead of from spaceships. It's an idea/aesthetic that I wish was carried out with more thought through the rest of the game. Like the Scorpion should have been replaced with a heavier tank.

It's shit because it's a shit game, not cause of your lorefag autism about what variant of the fucking scorpion tank was on Reach. That's not fucking with the story in any meaningful way.

Halo 3 Security, but I like the Reach version too. It gets a bad rap IMO, they just tried to tone down the visor and make it fit more into the general Reach aesthetic. Either way I'll always rep the Marathon helmet.

They do canonically have heavier tanks which are featured in Halo Wars but the designs are pretty shitty. The Scorpion should have never been called an MBT, it's clearly an Pelican-carried light tank meant for Marine use.

Nightfall armor wouldn't look out of place in the covenant, Like seriously fuck this shiny and new spaceboy aesthetic.

Reach was shit at mostly everything with very little redeemable quality, also no one gives a fuck about your stupid books, no one has ever gives a fuck about them only the games matter, stop bringing the stupid lore up, no one gives a fuck. I hope Infinite has better armor than Reach because then that would finally push that pile of shit into irrelevancy once and for all.

to be fair that's a prototype render. as shitty as Halo 5 is the armor aren't that shiny in game. still too flat and plasticky looking though.

Never could get into Reach. The multiplayer was easily the worst in the franchise at the time :(

Nice blog

I’ve been playing Halo since ‘02, and I never stopped playing Reach, and I played it all last summer when we only had like 4000 regulars, tops.

I don't read the books and I didn't bring the lore up except to make fun of how absolutely silly you sound nitpicking shit like the weapons in the game as proof that Reach fucked up the canon of the trilogy. Caring about shit like that is on the same level of caring about how the game contradicts the plot of some dumb EU fanfic book. Non-autismos can easily grasp that the game would have more recent weapons and shit despite it technically being a prequel, because you don't move backwards in game design just to autistically suit the stipulations of the plot of a damn video game.

At least we agree that Reach is shit and video game books are for losers.

I would be perfectly fine with that since I already did it once. Reach's grind was stupid anyway, 3 had it right by tying armor to specific shit like beating missions on certain difficulties or finding all the skulls. Having to play a million hours just to unlock the helmet I want is dumb.

Alright Yea Forums, post your controversial Halo opinions. Remember, no bullying.

Hard mode: Say good things about the 343 games

Fall of Reach is just above average for the Halo books, there's plenty of better ones: Ghosts of Onyx, Contact Harvest, Evolutions, the Forerunner triology, Broken Circle, Last Light, etc

There's nothing wrong with Halo borrowing mechanics from other franchises as long as they don';t break Halo's core fundamentals, such as even starts, pickups, the golden triangle etc: People just hate change on princpal

Halo's weapon balance is fucking dogshit and the community, especially competitive encourages it by wanting autos to be bad guns for casuals instead of allowing them to be good and reward skill, even though every other FPS has skill based, accurate automatics

Bloom was an improvement over 3's shitty random spread. the DMR had issues where spamming was rewarded more then paced shots, but the solution was to increase the amount of spread per shot while making it dissipate faster, removing bloom just turned the DMR into the BR 2.0 and made it OP

I like Halo 5's movement mechanics, it evolves the gameplay while preserving even starts and the golden triangle and think it has the best physics, aiming, shooting, etc in the series, and some of the best MP

MC should be retired, his story should have ended in 3. The only time new media featuring MC should have happened is if it took place in the past

343i elites look good, their armor and animations are just bad and make them look bigger and more oaf-ish then their actual anatomy is, which is a pretty faithful update of CE/2 style proportions, moreso then H2A's elites

CE has the worst Bungie campaign, it's supper repetitive and tedious and has very little enemy and weapon variety on top of all of the copy pasted environments

My controversial Yea Forums opinions on Halo.

I loved Halo: Combat Evolved.
I loved Halo 2's multiplayer, the campaign was a massive disappointment.
I loved Halo 3
I didn't bother playing ODST because I saw it as a worthless cash grab plus I had no interest in a non-mainline Halo game.
I hated Reach and wish I went with my gut feeling not to buy it.
I liked Halo 4's campaign, I hated Halo 4's multiplayer but I did feel 343 made it better by 2014.
I hated Halo 5's campaign but I liked the gameplay and some of the open spaces in levels for on-foot combat, campaign was a massive disappointment that surpassed Halo 2, I liked Halo 5's multiplayer.
I'm excited for Halo Infinite, I can't wait to see the game at E3 this year and I plan to buy it for the next Xbox along with Halo 5 to catch up to the story.

I've legitimately never heard an argument for why they inherently don't work in Halo's gameplay. 99% of people are just going I-IT'S CODSHIT or I-IT SLOWS DOWN THE GAME, neither of which are actually true. Not all of it is perfect, Spartan Charge is fucking busted and just rewards running around like an ADHD retard, etc but there's no reason the mechanics are inherently un-halo or are inherently a bad decision.

Like, for fucks sake, Halo 3's equipment broke the Golden Triangle, one of Halo's key design pillars, and also made it so that you had no idea what the players you were fighting against had in their pocket and could pull out of their ass. The fact that people defend equipment but shit on 5's mechanics absolutely fucking baffles me and just indicates to me that people don't actually care about Halo's underlying design goals.

I'd love to see an actual explanation as to why equipment is acceptable, or duel wielding is acceptable, or hijacking is acceptable, but 5's systems are not on principal. The closest reasoning i've ever seen to being valid is that those are all contextual while 5's abilities are innate, but I don't see why additional innate abilities are inherently breaking Halo's core formula if they don't disrupt even starts, the golden triangle, the emphasis on map control. To me it just seems like people trying to justify their existing hate for 5's mechanics rather then actually hating 5's mechanics BECAUSE of an underlying principal

I hate the majority of 343's decisions though, for every 1 good thing they do they do like 2 bad things.

Literally the only valid point you have here is is Brutes using armor abilities.

Why do you dislike 2's campaign user?

Halo 3 EVA, Reach HAZOP/Pilot, and whole 4 and 5 have way worse visual design, Deadeye and Locus. I'm really sad that every EVA helmet since 3 has looked progressively worse.

Like, for fucks sake, Halo 3's equipment broke the Golden Triangle, one of Halo's key design pillars, and also made it so that you had no idea what the players you were fighting against had in their pocket and could pull out of their ass. The fact that people defend equipment but shit on 5's mechanics absolutely fucking baffles me and just indicates to me that people don't actually care about Halo's underlying design goals.

I'd love to see an actual explanation as to why equipment is acceptable, or duel wielding is acceptable, or hijacking is acceptable, but 5's systems are not on principal. The closest reasoning i've ever seen to being valid is that those are all contextual while 5's abilities are innate, but I don't see why additional innate abilities are inherently breaking Halo's core formula if they don't disrupt even starts, the golden triangle, the emphasis on map control. To me it just seems like people trying to justify their existing hate for 5's mechanics rather then actually hating 5's mechanics BECAUSE of an underlying principal
its not halo.

Commando, EOD and Mark VI will always be my favorites

Halo 5 actually has near-identical versions of almostall of the Reach helmets.

The only ones that are missing are, JFO, Hazop, and the default since their attempt at doing the default looks like shit. But the rest look good, pic related shows some of them

its too fast for the gunplay, guns dont do enough damage so the time to kill is all fucking wonky.

The thruster packs, the fly in air while aiming and the running keep that shit out of halo please

Reach was Peak Halo. Halo 3 was peak storyline/nostalgia, but Reach was the best online by far. The forge mode alone was worth the 60 dollars there is going to be so much variety in levels on PC you watch.
Also EOD is the best armor in Halo

No reason to think it won't. Splitscreen is being investigated. Crossplay might come later.

It's too bad that all have that shitty hexagon pattern on the visor except for pilot

Yeah, but you have to pay cash for them since they're not in req packs lmao

>reach was peak halo

Wrong, Halo 3 was peak. It had the most players, the balance was very good and the trilogy was concluded.

She isn't too bad, she saw her teams mistakes with Halo 4 and 5 and got rid of the problem child in the studio (Brian Reed) and now is putting focus on bringing back those iconic moments in the series with Infinite, she also put MCC on PC and had Halo 6 delayed for 5 years while convincing Microsoft to do the same for all their studios and give them unlimited time.

Fuck, it looks really good, too bad I never played it.

Oh come on, how often would a fucking power drain or bubble shield actually affect a fight in H3? They were useless.

>Reach
>peak
Reach kids need to be gassed.

Werent spartans II's skin supposed to be freakishly white?

>He never used a power drain to emp vehicles, using them to splatter unsuspecting enemies.

Big Team Battle was the absolute best.

You sure? I don't think i've ever bought a REQ pack with real money and I have Mark V delta, Pilot, and the EVA

and the actual main Noble sets. Jorge's looks sort of funky since it's not on a fuckhuge SII model, though

fuck forgot my file

carter's in particular looks great, a shame it's way in the back here

Why do Halo 4 and 5 spartans look like fucking plastic?

No, that's just chief because 1: he's a ginger 2: he never removes his armor or takes his helmet off because he's autistic or something.

Jun's also looking nice.

I hope they port it to PC, even if it's just to play the campaign.

smol Jorge looks funny.

Kelly too.

Why does Jorge look s damn old compared to Master Chief and Blue Team?

*so

it's the beard

5's campaign is shit, don't bother, and I say that as somebody who has 5's MP as their second favorite in the series

the second mission is really good, and there's 1 other pretty good one, but the rest is really, really, REALLY bland and poorly designed.

As bad as 4?

I absolutely hated that game and while we're at it promethean weapons are the worst thing that has happened to the series.

3 was the best fight me

its worse than Halo 4, its fucking awful but halo 4 is still trash.

Reminder that Reach had no plot

The obnoxious Locke push was probably the most aggravating things I've seen in a video game for a long time. I knew it was going to blow up in their faces because no one wanted to play Locke, 343i was already getting backlash for him way back in 2014.

Reach was the plot

I choose 4 to be retconned out of existence

Aaaaaaaaand dropped.

and the carter armor

Honestly if 343 went for this sort of aeshetic for armor in infinite i'd be cool with it, it's a nice balance of classic bungie and 343 style

Spartan IIIs are objectively better than spartan IIs in every way, only Kurt and Chief are demonstrably superior

I like the Infinity's design

the new jackals are fine since skirmishers set the precedent for subspecies

The Library is way more fun than Assault on the Control Room

it's all in the black undersuit

>splitscreen
i think u are a little too old to still be using this site

>basketball skin
NO!

The campaign is actually WORSE then 4's, and that's not even being hyperbolic.

Like, I get called a 343shill sometimes, but there's really no defending 5's campaign aside from 1 or 2 missions and a few other minor things (the squad system is a neat idea, the idle dialog is really well written, etc)

What's sad is locke could have been cool. His backstory is he used to be a black market assassin for hire that ONI picked up. He could have been this super cutthroat, asshole, pragmatist character that doesn't give a shit about breaking the rules and collatoral damage, instead hje's even more by the books and bland then MC is

Eh, the grey undersuit looks fine there, and in general just slapping a black undersuit on 343's armor would just make it worse, because it'd show how little the armorplating actually covers, the undersuit being colored makes it less obvious

Black undersuit + more armor coverage (and actually having a fucking crotch guard), and less hyper-detailed bits and pieces, with more just geometric amor plating is how you need to go

Fuck that, I just want to play with my bros.

He gave his life thinking he'd just saved his squad, we should all be so lucky.

yes

mp is good tho, but no local play so it's online only

>Spartan IIIs are objectively better than spartan IIs in every way, only Kurt and Chief are demonstrably superior
more or less true, since they were given a better version of the training chief and the others got and their roids are only slighly worse
>I like the Infinity's design
it's ok, but a downgrade compared with older ships
>the new jackals are fine since skirmishers set the precedent for subspecies
still a shit design
>The Library is way more fun than Assault on the Control Room
vehicles in CE aren't really that good, so i'd rather have 343 guilty spark

343 has done a lot of good books, actually

it's just a lot of the first few books they did sucked, but as of now their releases are like consistenty fall of reach tier or better

I really hope they stop with this goofy fucking cosplay tier armor for Infinite. Also superfluous LED strips fucking everywhere. Don't try and tell me that shit is the shield emitters, they were little pips here and there during the Bungie era.

[thinking]

pretty much, yeah, though you still at least gotta read the first travis book for context for the other stuff

Firstly, the forerunner lore is great, fuck off faggot; if you disagree actually fucking verbalize your issues with it.

>inb4 MUH RETCONS even though the terminals and IRIS already established humans weren't litterally forerunners

Secondly, there's been like 10+ books since them

Greg Bear's Forerunner trilogy is legitimately one of the best in the series. Sorry you're still stuck on that whole Forerunners=humans lie

Whole level was great really loved how it forced six to reflect on Jorge's sacrifice which he held himself responsible for

What went wrong?

Attached: 343 ODST armor design.png (480x1080, 375K)

Come on now, those cutscenes with fireteam majestic weren't that bad.

If anything, replace Osiris with majestic for campaign missions and I would love new halo more than now.

This

And like, if the anons who shit on them actually said "even if the books themselves are good, I dislike the concept of ancient humans and I think it's a little far out there", then I'd be fine with that; and then there could be a meaingful disscusoion about what could havge been done instead, what the limits are on how far out the lore can go, etc

but to act like they "retcon" shit or are badly written is just delusion

Honestly, as good as reach's UNSC visual design is, it already sort of fucked the ODST's up

to be fair though, that's just supposed to be the MJOLNIR ODST set, actual current era 343i ODST armor looks like pic related, which is decent

As a SW nerd, don't know how this woman keeps getting work'm so so sorry

>everything must go forward and nothing must be kept a mystery and therefore killing the mystique that is Halo
Halo 4 is what happened to the Alien franchise when Prometheus happened.

Kill yourself, you Bungie-loving cuck.

Well, how they dick suck anything Bungie made that came after Halo 3.

Today I will remind them

Humans = Forerunners
343i Lore = Trash

Guilty Spark literally calls you a forerunner at the end of Halo 3.
>Humans are the only race that could access Forerunner technology, enter Forerunner facilities without restraint and activate the Rings
>The portal to the Ark is located on fucking Earth
>The Prophets are aware of this but deliberately ignore the idea and even go as far as to genocide humanity because of it
>there are several instances throughout the trilogy that heavily connects Humans to being Forerunner

Why do the bad kids love Reach so much? Is their strafe and map awareness so terrible that they have to rely on crutches like jetpack and armor lock to win?

Reach's EOD helmet is pretty gay. It looks fine but they took away the whole point which was the eyes.

All that lore 343 had to work with, all those books and stories in the EU and 343 couldn't even muster up a proper sequel.

They just had to ruin the artstyle, music, atmosphere and lore. Literally how? how did we end up here? one of the most interesting universes in science fiction shooters and they still couldn't think outside the box.

Attached: 1553854615039.jpg (481x566, 28K)

Because it was their first Halo game.

Spartan Ops as a whole was bad, no one wanted Spartan IIIs or IVs, Brian Reed can't write which is why he no longer hs a job, kill yourself.

Apparently, Halo: Reach was supposed to have a Scarab battle but it was on a fucking on-rails section if the game couldn't be any more disappointing than it already was to me, the game just keeps proving me wrong and is worse than what I thought before.
