Can 343i win back Halo fans, or is it too late?

>this still means Rookie dies to like a bitch to some retarded feminist

"What? Halo? What's that? Never heard of it"
Old generation of halo faggots grown up hating 343i . Sales will stagnate. Halo will be dead by the middle of the next gen.
New generation is all about phones and BR. Unironically a neutered shootan like Halo is too complex and boring for zoomers.

Now you faggots feel what we, Quake and Unreal fans, feel. Remember laughing at us? WHO'S LAUGHING NOW.
It only will get worse.

No. The chief is still in cryo on the forward unto dawn and is just having nightmares which have formed h4 and h5, explains everything, the change of armor, the shitty direction of writing, his team being alive, etc. It's perfect, you can't change my brain canon.

>autistic Latino screeching noises

This is obviously how every franchise should work, but I'm glad there is an agreement among them

Ninja streaming it on Mixer to the zoomzooms will save it.

343 still despises traditional halo fans aka white guys. They even used to promote Anita's videos of "white male privilege while gaming" on the official halo youtube channel.
Hard to win back people who you hate.
Pretty sure that the main boss is also still the same woman who never worked on a game before Halo 4

>Space diaper

What is this from? Is there more?

Ninja's zoomers only play games that he plays at the current time. And not all of them.
Notice how he loses like 80% of the viewers as soon as he switches to any other game than Fortnite.
As soon as he moves to something else they quits.
Such small and not loyal playerbase will do nothing for gaylo

can't wait to see them turn Halo into a fortnite / minecraft clone

Wait wtf that's a high IQ move from MS

Ideally a studio should care enough about their work and possess enough planning and forethought to have strict rules on what is and isn't canon and not just pull stuff out of their ass.
I'm also not sure this is possible when the development team for something exceeds one.

Guardians was a huge step forward from 4.
Too bad the cool abilities 4 introduced (but didn't let us use them) were cut off and Cortana's voice was so low.

If they think people only dislike Halo now because of the way Chief looks slightly different than before probably not.

There's no "winning back". There's no "back" to go to. Everything 343i has touched has been shit from the start.

That's not the reason

>Too bad the cool abilities 4 introduced (but didn't let us use them)

Explain this?

Yes

At the writers panel by Frank O’Conner / Frankie:

>“Unless a character has been vaporized - and even then there are exceptions - they will likely resurface.” In response to question about K5 characters returning

Looks like the Didact and Flood are back on the menu boys.

They should just retcon ODST ad Reach since it fights with Halo 1-3 to fit in canon, we can't have another Other M situation, might as well get rid of ODST and Reach since they don't fit, must be the reason they ignore them.

I wish they did a better job handling it.

Kilo-Five characters are returning in Infinite.

The flood were confirmed since Hako Wars 2 which is cannonically happening at the same time as Halo 5 Guardians. Also, think about this: the Halo rings don't kill the flood, they kill its food. The chief activated and set off the ring at the ark in the ending of Halo 3, the ring wasn't finished so the blast was somewhat contained, but who did that ring actually kill? Not the flood.

Halo was never meant to last long. The way it played was archaic and made during a specific time when FPS' were first getting popular. Now it's just a relic of its former self. I understand the changes they made during H4 and H5, they had to adapt or else it would've died much faster than it did. But they ended up killing it anyways with bad game design. Halo should just die a peaceful death than a prolonged and suffering death desu

Why did Bungie leave Microsoft?

No, but mouth breathers and spics will keep halo alive forever.

It's probably been too late for a while now after Halo 4 and 5, could maybe include ODST and Reach if you really wanted to despite them being side-stories or lore building at best.

Because they were ready to be done at 3 which was already an extension on 2.
Bungie wanted out and microsoft needed their cash cow to stay.

Halo was a fad, and was already on its way out even before Reach.

>rumored to be an open world game

its gonna be shit

I honestly am willing to give Infinite a chance if only because it'll be on PC and there isn't a big investment in terms of hardware to play it.

But this is 343's last chance imo.

Bungie was sick of working on Halo which is why their last two contractual games didn't land as well as the mainline trilogy. They desperately wanted to start work on Destiny.

It'll be open world in the same way the second level of Halo CE was open world.

Nice

This is my favorite meme. Reach is the Halo game Bungie always wanted to make. It's the culmination of their efforts ruining the series up to that point. Every bad decision turned up to 11.

Did they fire Frank, yet? He's literal poison wherever he goes. It doesn't really help that everyone he works with find him to be an insufferable chode.

No. Halo is beyond saving. The retards at 343i tried copying CoD and other FPS with shit like ADS, perks and loadouts. They lost their orginality.

Wouldn't surprise me if they copied Fortnite and became a battle royale game.

hot opinion but there should have been more levels like that.

To add on to this point, the story was pretty much done. Halo 1-3 concluded a beautiful and well written trilogy. There was no where else to go from there. You really didn't need to expand on it. It's Microsoft's cashcow of course so they had to keep milking it. And what did Bungie do? A prequel and a spinoff. They story is finished. Desperation is very clear considering they are going back to the Halo ring for the story. Just let it die

No, they're not, they already made it a policy to keep book characters in the books, they'll return in the books, comics, or TV show, Didact, and Flood can return in the games and Sali Nyon will most likely be the new leader of the Covenant in Infinite.

>Reach is the Halo game Bungie always wanted to make
literally interns while everyone else worked on destiny.

What Halo series levels were in the same way the second level of Halo CE was open world?

Metroid wasn't either and yet here we are.

This

It was literally everything Bungie wanted to do previously, but couldn't. You must be in some serious denial to deny that.

>"Halo was a high production cost, but this was epic. From that moment, [we realized] we needed to bring extra people on to Halo to train them up, ready [them] for Destiny," said Bungie executive Jonty Barnes in a recent interview looking back at the studio's recent history.

What did he mean by this?

Not him but it was both.

>It was literally everything Bungie wanted to do previously, but couldn't

Like what?

I'm just gonna play the Bungie games forever.

>worst game in the series
>"everything they wanted to do"

Good thing they were limited by time/budget/hardware then. Bungie unleashed is apparently a shit company.

Wildlife AI, Equipment but even more cancerous, Elites being statistically different from Spartans, Invasion and the whole of Megalo scripting.

CE and Halo 2 only turned out as well as they did because they had hard deadlines and were cutting it close.

Oh God if they make it a BR game. It's an already dying genre isn't it? That'll kill their game even more

>we wanted to kill Halo and kill our own studio
That's what he meant.

This

>implying a BR game with warthogs, banshees and scorpions would be bad

sounds like a dream come true to me

The one thing that makes me like 343i over Bungie handling Halo is them ignoring ODST and Reach.

Are you actually fucking braindead? Have you even played a halo game? Halo Reach was hands down the greatest halo game. Are you so mentally deficient as to perceive it as bad? Zoom zoom mother fucker

The pistol was the worse weapon in the game. It took 13 shots to kill, and had garbage accuracy.

This would be the only way to even consider the idea of Halo being 'saved'

have sex

Sorry, I meant,

>worst bungie game in the series

Also, he claims power weapons don't respawn which isn't true. Power weapons would not respawn until they were dropped, so if you emptied out the ammo and held on to it, it would not spawn until after you died.

This guy sounds like someone who played a few matches, got rekt and cried about it.

I'm talking about dual wielding, as referenced in the post. SMG combined with magnum killed pretty quickly if you weren't trash

Again, to somehow perceive Reach as being worse than the likes of Halo 2... that's fucking retarded.

>need 2 guns just to kill someone
Why even bother when you can just pick up a good gun that actually hurts people?

2 is the best in the series.

I just read a plot summary for HW2 (I've only played through reach)

so the chief fired a partially-constructed halo inside the arc in 3 and vaporized the gravemind (and all other organic life inside the arc, as halo firings do). Firing a halo ring kills everything in a galaxy, but we were okay because the arc is outside our galaxy and merely reached by a portal on earth.

Then, post-halo3 cannon, the UNSC builds a science outpost on the arc (even though all the life was killed by the ring, now it's back and there's flora and fauna again I guess?). Some brutes kill everyone, the ship from HW1 drifts ALL THE WAY OUT OF THE GALAXY (apparently drifting at lightspeed) and winds up at the Ark.

They fight the brutes and regain contact with the unsc by launching a completed halo (apparentlythe arc immediately started building a new one after chief fired the unfinished one... was there debris from the destroyed H3 Ark ring everywhere in HW2?) and it teleports to where the halo 1 ring was, which happens to be near-ish to reach and some UNSC outposts.

Where do the flood factor in? is it just that there are still spores floating around our galaxy since we only killed the hivemind?

Halo is dead to me ever since they removed couch coop

Then it's alive for you again.

Really??

Librarian is hot.

Dilate

Splitscreen is basically the first thing they confirmed about Infinite.

You're in luck since it's back in Infinite.

>can't even add it to the PC port of a console game

Halo 5 had better mechanics and a better sandbox than 4, but art direction was even worse than 4's already terrible design and the campaign was awful (the campaign being 4's one redeeming feature).

What Halo game has the best sandbox?

cope

Seethe

Awesome, me and the wife can game in the same room again

Halo CE. By a country mile.

Halo 2 was my first game but still.

It's all situational, if you're playing BR starts its unlikely you'll ever dual wield

Why would I ever seek out a pistol in SMG starts?

>but who did that ring actually kill? Not the flood.
It kill the flood because it blow up to kingdom come not because it was successfully in being fired
The flood shows up in one of the DLCs for HW2 where the remains of high charity, which crash landed in the ark an was quarantine by the sentinels, are found by the brutes and they have to contain the outbreak

If they actually give us proper halo gameplay (halo ce, halo 2 and halo 3 inspired without sprint as armor abilities and other fuckery) then there is still hope. But since they rather spend 2 years showing off master chiefs armor instead of gameplay related stuff, I doubt it.

have sex while dilating

Be a man and not a tranny.

Halo rings only kill sentient life forms, aka the Flood's food source. This is explained in Halo 1. The exception to the Halo 3 firing was because the ring wasn't complete so the firing destroyed the ring, killing the flood on it and damaged the ark as well.

As I recall, the Spirit of Fire didn't randomly drift towards the ark, some Forerunner mcguffin teleported it there. Don't recall the details. And remember that the original Halo ring from Halo CE was destroyed in September 2552, Halo 3's ring was destroyed in December of that same year. Halo 5 and Wars 2 take place in 2557, plenty of time for the ark to get to work on another replacement ring.

As far as the flood go, Halo Wars 2 had a flood dlc. Didn't play it because it wasn't included in the season pass, so I don't know what's in it. But they exist in some capacity.

Arrogant cunts.
>If you somehow believe what you're doing is the greatest thing ever all the time, it's absolutely not gonna be the greatest thing ever.

Depends on what you're looking for. Halo 5 offers a ton of variety because of it's abundance of forge options and such, but I don't care too much for moment to moment gameplay because Spartan abilities inherently clash with classic Halo design principles. Reach had the most diveristy in game options because of Firefight and its (limited compared to 5) forge enhancements from 3. But Reach was an overall downgrade in how controllable your Spartan was. Jump was less floaty and thus not as usable for stuff like crouch jumping, weapon bloom was aids, and armor abilities clash with core design as much as spartan abilities do.

In my subjective opinion: H3>H2>Reach>=5>CE>4

The flood were never truly off the menu, were they? Installation 4 & 5's flood got fucked, but I'm sure still existed elsewhere prior to HW2.

If it has sprint no buy I wasted money on a Xbox one and haven’t played it in like 2 years

Nope, they don't get halo, the team who made halo is scattered and fragmented

how the fuck did high charity get to the ark? it took the dreadnought/keyship two weeks to get from high charity to earth, with all it's power and nothing to drag it down. High charity used that same power level to float slowly around.

I've been playing Borderlands 2 for the first time with my brother, all month, and this shit is exactly what Halo 5 was missing.

Not only is it good, but it's an improvement over coop in Halo in every regard.

>how the fuck did high charity get to the ark?
What do you mean? High charity crashed in ark in halo 3, the Gravemind use all the power that i had to make a slipspace jumps that is why it falls like a sack of rocks after it arrives

Interns, 343i having a say and being a testbed for things they wanted to put in Destiny are what caused that, not just "bungie's attempts at ruining the series".

>343i having a say
Keep making stuff up.

Correction. Retcon everything after Halo 3 (except Halo Wars series since it's good). Especially Rookie dying.

>4 will win back the fans!
>MCC will win back the fans!

ODST and Reach are still better than anything 343i has managed to shit out

this is a fact so don't even bother

But it’s not.

I like games where the guns shoot straight.

by not listening to 3babs, you get halo 4 and 5

soo maybe you should listen to 3babs sweetie

I agree ODST and Reach needs to be dropped from canon.

Though honestly...maybe release something that changes the two to be more compatible with the canon from Halo 1 to 3. I really do like the Rookie.

3babies gave us Halo 4 mp, Halo 1 fans gave us Halo 5 mp, we really shouldn’t listen to 3babies.

>halo 4
>sprint

>halo 5
>sprint

I don't think so, 343baby

3babies love Reach.

CEbabies love Halo 3

>5 lets you turn sprint off

It doesn't work that way. Halo 3 is the polar opposite of CE.

It really isn't though

historically, CE and 3babs have always teamed up together to shit on Halo 2

How do those 2 games mess with the cannon?

I think it's over desu. 4 was shit. 5 was shit. Halo Wars 2 I don't know much about, but the art direction was shit, and I assume the writing was shit.
The 343i lore is all complete shit.
The design changes in Infinite are okay, pretty nice in some cases, but in other areas, it looks shit. The forerunner structures have the over-sleek 343i look. Generally everything looks over-sleek instead of the grounded Blomkamp look the series previously had.
The trailer at last E3 was ok, but the script was bad. I liked everything with the pilot up to and including the part with his wife on the hologram thing, but after that it overstayed its welcome. I especially did not need to see him screaming like 10 yr old Anakin Skywalker about reactivating Chief.
There's going to be more bullshit 343i Chief and Cortana romance, by the look of the end of both trailers. They don't know how to handle that character at all. Every time 343i handles Cortana they devalue her characterization in 1-3.
On top of all of this, it seems like Halo 4-5's storyline are being scrapped, but it also seems like this new story doesn't take place after Halo 3 ... so what exactly is happening?
This is a huge issue. They're not continuing any known Halo story, and are just carrying on seemingly with the premise of "the old design is back!" You can make that work, but so far we've seen no gameplay.

I think it's over. As much as I don't want it to be, I don't trust 343i to make a good game, and there's zero momentum, spiritually speaking, behind this project.

but ODST and Reach happen before 3

It really is though. Much slower pace to both movement and gameplay, worse power items that don't decide a game nearly as much, a metagame that revolves around focus fire, and maps that try to be real places instead of fun arenas; Halo 3 is where teleporters died.

>Halo Wars 2 art direction

Get some fucking taste, user. Halo Wars 2 was a fucking masterpiece in visual design, especially compared to the abominations that were Halo 4 and 5.

That's nice, but last I checked Halo CE allows you to run and fire your weapon at the same time unlike Halo 5

Sequels are incredibly safe from a business standpoint. I completely understand what you’re saying, but those are the facts. New IPs are risky.

I guess Timesplitters is the same as Halo CE too, because you can move and shoot at the same time.

Considering they have taken the extreme of reverting aesthetics back to Halo 2/3 and did a time jump to ignore Halo 5 they are proving just how fucking dumb they are. This is an admitting of guilt, a "we're sorry" game to try and win back fans. The fact that they have to win back fans really should speak for itself OP. No Halo has been killed since H3. This is coming from someone who legitimately liked Halo 4. The QTE shit and change in perspective during these faggot animations really was aids and immersion breaking but that ending cutscene between Thomas Lasky and Chief was literally golden. youtu.be/HX__ErSRt2U?t=157 Don't get me wrong the final gameplay moments sucked shit and was a fucking QTE but this exchange of dialog and Chief's silence was so fucking juicy. Truly somewhere someone if not just 1 person in that shitty company does care about the story but probably gets dwarfed by shit ideas and other faggots.

I liked it for plenty of other reasons roody-poo I simply just mentioned that cutscene since it was the cherry to end the game with.The soundscape for the weapons was great, although bastardizing the forerunners aesthetic was a let down I did still like the Promethiens. Especially the gameplay dynamics they add with this blink dagger and lobbing back grenades at you. Weapons having 2 functions were really cool. 0 Brutes in Halo 4 is also a plus imo but that is debatable. I can pick out nuggets of shit like rerouting the shields to super perma boost the ghost was dumb as hell but fun to play. I'm really not sure why you are hung up about me saying I liked a game that I agree shouldn't be part of the series canon.

That line is funny, it works

Chief is supposed to be cool and his coolness inspires everyone around him. He's a rockstar and a relic. He's so weathered, he gets permission to do whatever he wants, like when he gives the covenant back their bomb in Halo 2. Everyone just trusts him. He's seen everything. He's just mythical. He doesn't need your shit.

If he ever heard someone say "our duty, as soldiers--is to protect humanity" he would cringe behind his visor and probably quit his military career. It's such an un-master chief thing to say.

Johnson would never say something like that and neither would Chief

It's better than Halo 4 and 5 but I miss the Covenant purple and the designs of their tech from Halo 1-3.

Chief/spartans halo 3
Marines halo CE (halo wars 1 blur ones, but that's cheating)
Elites halo 2
Grunts halo 3
Brutes halo 2
Jackals halo reach
Drones halo 3 odst
Hunters halo reach
UNSC weapons halo 3
Covenant weapons halo 2
UNSC vehicles halo reach
Covenant vehicles halo 3
UNSC/human structures halo 3
Covenant structures/ships halo reach
Forerunner structures halo 3

It was a terrible game all around.

It's the 3baby mental state.

Don't remind me

Reach & 4 used a scripting engine called Megalo for creating gametypes. It allowed for on-the-fly updates without having to create an entire patch for small changes. It was used for Reach's TU to make different changes on a per-gametype basis. It's also how modes like Chess were created.
youtube.com/watch?v=6z_ysbXQprI
Later on, when the weapon balance patch happened, modders were able to tweak just about everything on each individual weapon without touching the rest of the game. Unfortunately, none of this was really used aside from the few instances I mentioned, and I don't even think it's in 5 at all.

So his design is a mishmash of shit from Halo 3-5? That's probably why it looked so strange to me.

warzone can be the quarantine mode for all the microtransactions they'll shove in

Multi in 5 was tits though

More like tits-up.

There could 100% be a way to do it without them but I could still see them keeping them in for the fucking whales who NEED skins.

Halo is the very definition of cringe, you retard.

We know everything a flood spore knows, the gravemind knows, they have an intergalactic neural network. The flood showed up at earth right as the covenant opened up the portal to the ark. It just takes one little speck of a spore to fall through that portal to discover the location of the flood, if the gravemind didn't already knew the location, which he did because he exists from before the original halo ring firings done by the forerunners.

Not even close. Halo 2 has some of the best cutscenes of all time. Maybe it's the wrong series for you.

also don't ever reply to me again, 343i bab

>when the weapon balance patch happened,

What did they balance?

Halo 2 was fucking movie, there's a reason it's looked down upon when compared Halo 1 and 3.

>Reach & 4 used a scripting engine called Megalo for creating gametypes. It allowed for on-the-fly updates without having to create an entire patch for small changes. It was used for Reach's TU to make different changes on a per-gametype basis. It's also how modes like Chess were created.

What were the best custom maps and gametype mods for Reach and H4?

It's already too late. Even if Infinite was a literal classic Halo game, the majority of the older fans left. There's only a few tryhards that still play. The MCC was the last nail in the coffin, and there's less than 1,000 players on daily. Only zoomers are keeping Halo 5 alive, but they always move on to other games, because Halo is no longer unique.

>Forge World was only loved by people who never made a map before
bullshit, I made, well wip'd, like at least 7 maps. none were perfect but it was fun to make them and they played well.
you niggers literally whining about one of the best features of that game, it's ridiculous

I was talking about the cutscenes, I agree it's behind 1 and 3

Halo 1 and 3 have good cutscenes too. Halo Reach doesn't have any humor like 2 and 3 but it has very kino butt shots and as far as video game cutscenes go it's a cinéma vérité masterpiece

>one of the best features of that game
Forge World should have stayed as a "what if". At least having a bunch of different canvases would have allowed them to get creative with setting and time of day.

Reach sucked

maybe forgeworld potential can be unlocked on PC when every map isn't grey and blue garbage

The only thing that actually sucked about it was forgeworld

How was H4 after the patch?

Yeah, no, 5 was a dumpster fire, multiplayer included.

There's a reason both 4 and 5 couldn't retain even a tiny, TINY fraction of the playerbase Halo 2, 3 and Reach retained.

They don't, especially not ODST. There was conflicting dates with the book and how long the Fall of Reach took but that was quickly corrected in later reprints of the book as well as reprints of Ghosts of Onyx. That user probably just hates Reach's gameplay and is taking it out on everything Reach related.

I'll never understand how people can do this and not realize they're massive hypocrites. Almost everything wrong with Reach was extrapolated and made worse in 4 and 5.

>actually ultimately saved the universe through his own actions and not the retarded machinations of the Librarian
if I was a psychologist I would be interested in 343fags desire to have a divine motherly figure prearrange every aspect of their lives for them.
Greg Bear did it because he's a tumblr-tier fanfic writer who of course must jerk off our strong-mothers-who-have-the-hardest-job-in-the-world, but some people actually sincerely like that crap.

I agree, especially considering 4 was more a sequel to Reach than it was to 3 and 5 stacked on 4. Reach wasn't even THAT bad, people just assumed that because it had Multiplayer it had to stand on par to a numbered Halo title.

Yup

Are you retarded? You obviously haven't done any research. Infinite takes place after Halo 5. This has been confirmed multiple times. They want it to be a soft reboot, without retconning all their previous material. Chief's armor is a new design, with the protective capabilities of the older suits and the under the hood improvements of the newer suits. It definitely takes place after Halo 3 retard. Shut the fuck up and do research before you let your downy mouth open, talking about things you have no idea about.
Also,
>HW2 artstyle is shit
In game, yeah. Cutscenes though, its all classic Halo. You obviously never played it.

Reach is definitely my least-favorite of the Bungie games but 4 and 5 took everything Reach did badly and turned it up to 11. Turn off loadouts and abilities and Reach plays very much like the older games even if the weapons are still iffy, nothing can save 4 and 5.

Reach sucked in both the campaign and multiplayer department and its gameplay was shit in both.

Fire all the women at 343. It was a woman that ran the Halo 4 show into the ground. We need a cleansing to make sure it doesn't happen again.

You want to talk about player retention? Holy shit, you have a fucking death wish. 4 and 5 couldn't retain a TINY FRACTION of what Reach retained, let alone anything fucking close to the numbers Halo 2 and 3 saw. MS won't even show players how many people are playing 5's game modes and playlists because they know its super low and don't want the brand to look weak.

No,
>1=2=3>Reach>>>>>>>>Dogshit>4>>>>>>>5
is objectively correct, for any/all aspects of the games.

It had the worst campaign the series to date.

Because they have their moments, Reach was pegged as being bigger and better than the trilogy by Bungie and it feels small, very small. Marty's interview is telling of how Bungie no longer gave a shit after Halo 3, it's bad when it shows in your games.

Reach has a better campaign than ODST, 5, 4, or arguably 1. Get fucked.

They didn't even put everything they wanted IN REACH into Reach.

youtube.com/watch?v=HfW-S6BKqIs

There is no real list, it's an opinion nigger, Reach was shit, in my opinion.

Are people really expecting 343i to not fuck this up in some way?

>better than 1
HAAAAAAAAAAAAA, nice bait
>better than ODST
I didn't like ODST but that even managed to have a better campaign with only 2 hours.

Reach has a solid campaign. The story is lackluster but the moment to moment gameplay is solid. And the level design is far superior to that of halo 2, 4, 5 and ODST.

Can't wait to play mcc on pc never

It was press buttons, firefight, and on-rails shooting the entire game. The encounters were ass, it was filled with cock teases, and the space combat was boring as hell.

September.

haha third time is the charm bro :^)

for fucking reach, the ones people actually want to play are going to be 2020

Cringe. You barely press buttons and the lvl design is much more open than that of ODST, very little on rails.

This

Reach was linear. You and me must have played different games.

The work they put into reach's port can easily be pushed to 3 and 4. CE will require the most work due to gearbox's shitty code and halo 2 pretty much works flawlessly already.

Every game is fucking linear what the fuck are you on about, they're not fucking open-world RPGs

I'll believe it when I see it. 343i have an astonishing record of saying one thing and doing the other. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a blog post that says "we underestimated the work 1/2/3 require" after reach is out lol

>CE will require the most work
One of the two games with an actual PC port, and the one that actually ran well, will require the most work?

But Reach felt more closed in than Halo 1-3, even Halo 2.

He decided to switch Krieg out for Maya and I'm using Zero

Halo 2 needs a rework to look and play more like the original Xbox game.

What does that even mean

Every game is a series of linear missions you complete in a set order

I'm still waiting for Halo Wars 2 to come to Steam.

>One of the two games with an actual PC port,

Imagine if every single time that Gearbox accidentally broke something with the port, that they just didn't bother fixing it and hoped nobody would notice. The biggest offender is shaders and bumpmapping, the former being wildly inconsistent compared to the original and the latter literally being broken on every single piece of geometry in the entire game. Weapon shaders were mostly botched left and right, with the Assault Rifle and Plasma Rifle being the biggest offenders by far. Seriously, play one of the fixed weapon tag maps and one from the original port and look at just how awful the latter's AR looks.

They were also operating off of a non-final build of the game, which we know from things like Keyes' textures being from a prerelease build. This may or may not be tied to AI behavior being significantly downgraded compared to the original.

MP map weapon and vehicle placement was changed left and right, completely changing the dynamic of multiple maps in the process.

The worst part is that for the most part, people on a widespread scale just didn't know about the port's many, many problems because this was a 2003 PC/Mac release where 90% of press coverage was "woah look flamethrowers and rocket warthogs" and it was only the modding community that really took note of just how borked the port really was at some pretty fundamental levels.

People have fixed a number of the problems, but the most underlying ones literally can't be fixed without the source code as they're engine problems.

The greatest tragedy of all is that in Anniversary, there are multiple times where Saber used the Gearbox broken shader versions of things as their reference rather than the original Xbox version, further solidifying the broken shaders as being what people will remember CE always looking like.

Halo: Reach felt small in comparison to Halo 1-3.

>even halo 2
You clearly haven't played the halo games recently. Halo 2 is literally created to be a corridor shooter due to xbox limitations you fucking retard. Meanwhile reach has some of the biggest open spaces since halo CE.

Then why does Reach feel very small, Halo CE and 3 felt more open and I even felt I had more options in Halo 2, yet Reach just feels very linear and closed in.

It's definitely going to be an uphill battle and I think its almost too late.
By the time Infinite releases, Halo 4 is going to be nearly 10 years old and 343i's time as head of Halo is going to be at least 10. In that decade Halo has completely slipped from relevancy and they have not made anything comparable to the games that came before. The franchise has been sinking/stagnating for 10 years under their leadership. Lots of former fans have likely drifted away just due to the sheer amount of time its been. If Infinite comes out and its everything Halo fans want it to be and "saves" the franchise, how many of those lost fans will care at this point?

I also say its an uphill battle because for a lot of the people who have stuck around or former fans that retain even a modicum of interest, this game is the last chance. If 343i doesn't completely redeem themselves and Halo, it's pretty much over for good. I think they know this because they are clearly putting a lot of time into this game since the gap between 5 and Infinite is going to be the longest between main games that the series has ever had. If they invest that much into it and don't get good returns on it, I wonder what the future will hold for 343i.

As a massive Halofag I want them to turn this series around but I've been so disappointed in pretty much everything that has come out of 343i so I can't get my hopes anymore.

Halo Infinite will be fine and sell well, especially with Ninja on board.

>F E E L S
stfu retard. Play the games again and you'd be able to tell the differences.

>Bungie unleashed is apparently a shit company.
I mean, they kind of are. Have you seen Destiny?

>You clearly haven't played the halo games recently. Halo 2 is literally created to be a corridor shooter due to xbox limitations you fucking retard. Meanwhile reach has some of the biggest open spaces since halo CE.

What are the biggest missions with open spaces in the Halo series?

Why does Reach get so much undeserved hate by the Halo 3 babies?

343i isn't working on this, it's a combination of three studios. 3, reach and 4 pretty much all run on the same engine that is just tweaked a little. the other two games have anniversary modes that don't exist yet on PC, which will be the toughest. CE on PC is a mess, the graphics don't look like the ones on the Xbox at all and they already confirmed they'd look into that. Halo 2 more or less just needs anniversary patched in, it looks mostly the same as on pc as on the xbox.

I played it multiple times, it still feels the same, it's just plain shit, even Marty considers it bad.

Reach has my favorite art style overall. Not everything is a winner but UNSC and Covenant tech never looked better.

But those look worse, why change what wasn't broken, to begin with?

>smaller space diaper
I don't know why this made me burst out laughing but it did

4 is the single worst campaign in the game. Solo legendaried and regret it.
>AI
- Full retard with no object permanence, pop behind cover and you don't exist. This fact alone completely ruins the game's difficulty, everything else a question of tedium.
>Covenant
- Don't speak English anymore so IWHBYD skull is pointless and they have no personality
- Every dipshit with a plasma pistol can over-charge it, slowing gameplay as you can't let one niggardly grunt out of your sight
- Needler tracking disgusting too
- As always 343i designs look ugly as sin, occasionally hard to discern from background environment due to lumpy, dull colored armor
>Promethean
- They're just robots so again, no personality, also extremely unsatisfying to shoot and kill as they just evaporate
- Knights constantly stall with teleportation
- Constant stupid little gyrocopters you have to shoot down at the start of every single engagement
>Weapon Sandbox
- Feels like you're playing with the famine skull on, unless you like light rifles
- Seriously you will pretty much only be using the light rifle as entire levels and areas are Promethean weapons only and the boltshot/suppressor take you too close a bunch of knights with shotguns and blink strikes (and you always need something to shoot down the fucking copters anyway)
>Story
- Within 4 years of near total annihilation humanity is back as a dominant force with the biggest, bestest ship ever made
- With Jul's impotent Covenant aside, the rest of the war is spent fighting our own retarded fuck-ups, like Chief and Cortana setting the Didact free to get a better radio signal
- All new characters introduced are bland and terrible (forget Palmer, does anyone even like Lasky?), not sure if it's just the writing or an inability to voice act
- Terrible Greg Bear Trannyrunner saga shit with some ok stuff about Chief and Cortana's relationship

The only other silver lining is that Cortana is cute but they swiftly fixed that in 5.

Is this real

Halo was never a particularly mature series and it's weird that's something you gathered from it.

this post is too real

343 is doing what one should never do: trying to appease little gamer terrorists. Something can always be done differently so it's the simplest thing to say "not that, different!" when you've fallen into that obstinate state that defines the entitled gamer. They will never be happy (in any sense). Just make a good game and people who can still feel joy will like it. What the armour looks like isn't the biggest deal even if the people who wants you to think it is scream the loudest.

But they're keeping Halo 5's gameplay.

Yes, they should make Halo for people who like brainless schlock like anime.

This is actually what’s probably going to happen. Doesn’t sound like a bad idea on their part, either.

Why does the UNSC hate Chief in H4?

Hopefully Ninja still holds the views he did a few years back hating the retarded new advanced movement shit.
Cause it was written by retards.

Microsoft dollars will have changed his mind.

Honestly afraid that's the case. Dollars seems to have changed Bravos views.

don't you have a cringe indie game to sell on the epic games store?

Idk man, I liked some of the weapons and the return of enemy elites. The Promethean fights were never really fun unless you had a pistol and were popping crawler heads... but either way.

Definitely not the worst Halo game. Not the best, but not the worst.

Not as good as any of the Bungie games, that's where I draw the line

It's not so much the quip as the reaction as a whole. She doesn't seem remotely surprised or even interested, she just sidles up and delivers this awkward remark. Then she's stuck on the ship for the rest of the game barking orders over comms instead of staying on the ground to banter some more (I guess you avoid an invincible AI companion but she just seems really irrelevant).
She doesn't even get any serious lines when she disobeys a direct order from Del Rio to arrest Chief.

Halo 4 was genuinely one of the worst multiplayer experiences I've ever suffered through. Game dropped for like 20k players in a month of 2 of launch that's how shit it was.

halo 5 had better retention than reach though

Eeeech, maybe? Depends on what perspective you look at 2. On one hand, Halo 4 had its gunplay on point, whereas halo 2 was all over the show.

On the other, Halo 2 had its difficulty on point, and halo 4's was all over the show.

I'd say 2 and 4 are polar opposites, but neither are the worst.

Agreed, I enjoyed it and Halo 5 more than Halo: Reach but I flip flop with Halo 4's and 2's campaigns a lot because I really didn't like either that much even though they both have a few good moments to me.

>implying halo 4 was ever good
Halo 4 is literally the worst halo game in the series. The literal ONLY thing good about it. Is Cortana. Everything else sucks. The enemies are uglier than before. The lvl design is shit and stale. The new enemies are absolute garbage to fight. The sound design is weak and docile. The music is bland (with some exceptions). The spartans look bad. Chief is written like shit. The MP is awful. Forge is literally worse than in Reach. Spartan ops is a mess. Theatre doesn't work for campaign. CTE. Shit villain. Shit story. Shit characters. Shit everything. See for the worst thing to ever happen to halos story.

It's too late. Bungie fucked it up even before they did. The series should have ended with 3.

The prequel game which is reach is shit as well. They. Add multiplayer maps actual locations in campaign so large areas of campaign maps are dogshit and most multiplayer maps are dog shit until you get into map packs which weren't designed by bungie. The forge world recreations they did of good maps also weren't to scale and properly done which was aids. Odst is fine coop, reach you'll have some fun doing coop as well but they aren't amazing like the kids say. Reach was so bad on launch people were excited for 343 to take over and push out a TU.

They definitely need to revisit the water vehicles. UNSC can have a decked out transport boat, Covenant could have an agile amphibious vehicle.

This, ODST and Reach made me dislike Bungie.

>MP
Reach campaign is still solid, and I'm guessing the dude didn't care much for MP if he only played 1 and 2.

Based fuck sprint

No one in this reply string praised halo 5

Niggers

They're called Jiralhanae dude, not cool.

the only 343 game worth a shit is halo wars 2 and that wasn’t even made by 343

>cortana is good
ok... disagree... but continue...
>enemies are uglier
Ok, so the covenant enemies are a bit thiccer than before, I'll admit. Gone are the days of sleek elites in streamline battle armor, with rounded and bulging armor nowadays taking the spotlight. But as is pointed out in the lore, we aren't dealing with the covenant, rather a terrorist group resembling the covenant.
>lvl design shit
Largely disagree, but I might be misremembering. I felt a lot of soul was put into the levels that goes unnoticed.
>New enemies are garbage to fight
Kinda? I mean, knights are a burden unless you approach them right... if they have watchers thats a bitch but again, if you approach it right you wont have issues. Crawlers were fun to kill ngl, the only things I hated were the turrets.
>sound design weak
Nah man, the sound design was mad, the music did get grating after a while but overall it wasnt too bad.
>spartans look bad
thats just the spartan IVs, 343i had this notion that they could put MC to rest and replace him as the face of halo... problem is that the MC is popular as the face of halo because he has no face, making him the perfect self-insert hero for all the little pre-teens. Giving your would-be protags a face just ruins that.
>Chief is written like shit
they tried to humanize him. Kinda a dumb move, cortana has always been the emotional device while chief is the device. I'll admit the writing there as well as the dumbass captain are all lackluster.
>MP is awful
Actually unironically agree.
>Forge is bad
forge is always bad.
>Spartan Ops is a mess

Bro, I enjoyed the gameplay. The story I ignored. Gameplay-wise it was enjoyable. But my canon locks off after H3, with Chief MIA presumed dead.

they didn't want to sacrifice performance, framerate mostly iirc. don't agree with it but that was their reasoning

Their voice boxes
>WORT WORT WORT

Its called having a conversation

Ill forgive everything if they bring back waifu cortana from Halo 4. Also just give me a game about ODST's again. Even playing as some elites would be nice/

You can't go wrong there.
But I still hold faith in 343i, even if its only delusion. I need hope, because Halo is my favorite saga, and if it fails me, I don't know what I would do gaming-wise

It might be news to reach kiddies but reach had a terrible campaign because of bungie inability to make characters anyone liked for it besides maybe Jorge since he kills himself off super early. Also might be news to you that multiplayer in both ce and halo 2 were a thing that lots of people played, halo 3 wasn't the first halo game where people played mp.

Halo saga was finished with 3 aniki I dont know why you should even care for anything Halo post 3

>Halo 4 is literally the worst halo game in the series
No, Halo 5 is the worst by default because the multiplayer and campaign co-op are online-only and will cease to exist when servers are gone. Cutting half the game's functionality by locking any/all multiplayer and co-op behind the Live paywall, in adition to everyone also needing their own fucking console and copy of the game, is inexcusable and makes it the worst game in the franchise by default. I

t cost a good $1500-2000 for four people sitting in the same fucking room to play Halo 5 together, MS and 343i can fuck themselves eternally.

2 Cortana > 3 cortana > 2A cortana > 4tana > 1 cortana

How many times did Master Chief shit himself during the campaign of Halo 1?

No, it did not.

Again, Reach still saw a good million players at peak hours after a year. MS won't even tell us how many people are playing Halo 5, we have to look at its placement on the XBL most-played list, find games right above and below it that do disclose number of players and estimate that way.

Don't know about MC, but I almost shit myself as a 12 yo kid when I first encountered Flood

no, you have that with ODST. any more squishy player and it just wouldn't be fun. they'd just have to nerf the enemy individuals or numbers and then what's the point? it would turn into survival horror, I guess.

ftfy
4 was serviceable as a cheesy space opera

Survival Horror Halo game sounds cool though. You could play as a civilian in the opening stages of the war trying to get to an evacuation shuttle.

Reach, despite the elites biologically looking weird, had fucking amazing armor and looked intimidating in size

everything except the water stuff in that prototype is in the game

You can make a Spartan 4 faceless, but it would require a continuity reboot now that they're established as shit.
