his writers are shit.
seriously though, bringing the forerunners directly into halo was a mistake. The prometheans could have been cool sentinel-like enemies, but they were shit too. Shit shit shit. Nothing but big stinky POOP from 343.

I honestly don't remember, much like all of halo 4s story he was absolutely forgettable

what the FUCK even was this character

The Forerunners weren't the problem, the lore dump was.

He hated humanity.

>Bungie lore

Humans suck as enemies in Halo.

Bungie-style lore, then.

Humans bad, human turned Prometheans good!

maybe, but bringing the librarian and the didact (or whatever his name is) into the game just made the forerunners that much less mysterious. They also could have handled it so much better.

He was pissed because 343 based his design off of Piccolo from Dragonball evolution.

That is true, they could have used any other Forerunner and kept their helmet on, Librarian cutscene really shouldn't have been a thing.

With regards to Halo 4, it’s not even really a follow-up to Halo 3. It’s a follow-up to the Kilo 5 and Forerunner novel trilogies.

The theme of Halo 4 was the consequences of prolonged war. The idea with Chief is that for his entire life he was a child soldier endlessly fighting wars that he barely wins. Now that the war is over, Chief struggles to except a life beyond war. Cortana is a mother figure to Chief comforting and aiding him in war but she is dying. The Didact is one of the best villains I have seen in awhile and he is quite compelling. He is the continued failure and unresolved conflict of the Forerunners. He fights a war 100000 years over and suffers the trauma of war. Now released he continues the failure and suffering of his people's ignorance. The Didact and the Master Chief are both victims of war. Halo 4, 5, 6 were supposed to be Chief's journey in coping with being a forgotten veteran and living life beyond atrocities of war.

Cortana going crazy was going to be the plot of Halo CE, but Bungie decided that the crazy AI trope was too cliche. Also, they already did it with Durandal and Tycho in Marathon, although Durandal does pull through in end.

Frank O’Connor is a fucking hack and shoehorned Cortana’s rampancy into Halo 5 because he had an irrational obsession with their relationship. Cortana and chief’s relationship has always been one of the most poorly written parts of Halo because chief could never express emotion properly due to Bungie’s obsession with the silent protagonist.

The idea was cool. How would you feel if your douche of a wife told you that another species was superior to yours and destined to rule the galaxy? Sure, maybe betas like her would submit, but others would rage against the idea and cling on to their place as the dominant force in the galaxy.

Ultimately, they didn't flesh him out enough. Also that would've been too much blabbing for a Halo game.

Halo 4 and Halo 5 are non-canon

>It’s a follow-up to the Kilo 5 and Forerunner novel trilogies.
and here's why that's a bad thing

says who

i like to think of them as big budget fan games made by dumb teens

he looks like a dickhead

he looks like a vampire chicken

Halo 4 has an alright campaign, with some legitmately good atmosphere; and it tries to have an emotional story but most people feel the story's plot is confusing and poorly written and I tend to agree. The MP introduced loadouts, perks, and killstreeaks a la CoD. The AI is also bad and a lot of the art design is changed for no reason.

It's not a "bad" game, but for a Halo game this late into the series it's a step back by a big degree. Around Halo 4's launch you also had the Forerunner and Kilo 5 novels. Reception on the forerunner novels is generally postive, a lot of people love them and consider them the best written novels in the EU, others dislike how it goes against the apparent intended explanation that forerunners were humans )(even though bungie themselves retconned this as of halo 3) or that it rveals too much, while the travis books are universally considered some of the worst novels.

Their first few comic lines, Initiation and Escalation, were also pretty bad. So 343i had a poor first impression. MCC's networking was broken on launch and took a few months to fix, longer for some players, which ruined the goodwillt he announcement had built up. Thankifully over the nexxt year (2015) 343i started to put out good novels, though most people haven't read them.

Still more canon than ODST and Reach.

I love how 343 is entirely responsible for the failure of this character. There's absolutely nothing wrong with him. They just completely tossed him aside.

Halo 4 truly is the Metroid Fusion of Halo.

AN

Halo's story was only interesting because of the human-covenant war and the flood. They should have just done prequels

Lack of sugar

Halo's story was only interesting because you were a badass supersoldier with a badass name killing aliens, saving humanity, and saving the galaxy, no one gave a fuck about the lore, universe, or alien politics and religion.

His wife cucked him for human men

>final boss is a QTE
It was especially weird since there was an identical QTE in the opening level against that random Elite. And then nowhere else in the game. Did 343 think they were being clever by having QTE bookends?

But I unironically enjoyed that one ship level before the last mission. H4 was a fun but EXTREMELY flawed game.

>you can see how Covenant will enter an environment by either studying their patrols or watching their drop ships come in
>you can see how the flood can enter areas because of open grates or holes in the ceiling/floor/walls
>even the Sentinels have to fly in from somewhere
>Prometheans just teleport in
This was a major red flag. Bungie always did a really good job by rewarding environmental awareness. The Prometheans just poofed in and it was impossible to intelligently position yourself prior. Combined with their meatshield properties and it made them a slog to fight.

The problem is that Metroid Fusion is still the latest game in the Metroid series. Therefore we dont see any fallout from it. It doesnt help that Other M is a prequel to Fusion and has the exact same plot.

>Cortana going crazy was going to be the plot of Halo CE, but Bungie decided that the crazy AI trope was too cliche.
Is that why the main antagonist of Halo 1 is a crazy AI?

>no one gave a fuck about the lore, universe, or alien politics and religion.

That's true but then there's
>Samus restoring her genetics to what it was before her infection and vaccination so no more Metroid DNA
>X being completely wiped out with SR388 meaning they will never return
>Samus now having a gateway to restoring her suit to what it was previously removing the reason for the Fusion Suit's existence anyway
>animals from a Chozo planet that could lead her to a new Chozo planet
>rogue Chozo who are pretty much going to be the main antagonists
Metroid Fusion, like Halo 4, just feels like a game that was made to test a new team of devs while humanizing the main characters and nothing else.

Are you, revisionist?

>>Samus restoring her genetics to what it was before her infection and vaccination so no more Metroid DNA
That happens at the very end of the game
>X being completely wiped out with SR388 meaning they will never return
lol they could easily write them back in. This is the series with Ridley.
I don't even know where to get into your other stuff. The biggest problem with Metroid Fusion's story is that we have nothing to go on for a followup. I really doubt Prime 4 will be a direct sequel. Nintendo seems reluctant to move beyond that point in the series because it means a kerfuffle with the Federation (again, even though this already happened with Other M in the story and nothing came of it).

Yeah dude nobody fucking cared about the Covenant. Stop roleplaying like you were alive when Halo 1 was released.

What an annoyingly americentric and humanocentric writer
>the Didact was the victim of a horrible caste system that robbed him of a normal life and of his humanity!
Guy is applying western human morals to a Tier 1 civilization that has been dominated the galaxy for millenia. The caste system has not robbed him of a normal life, it IS a normal life, and if they've had it around for this long, it's because it suits them.
If the Didact is only a good and complex villain when referenced to the supporting material, he isn't a good villain. This idea of him being some sort of other side of the coin to Chief is not explored in the game in the slightest.

that's where you're wrong buddy
the covenant and it's religion/politics/caste system was always really interesting, from halo 1-3 and even ODST. bringing in the mysterious races and making them just another alien was what ruined the lore of the game.

X were a gimmick and nothing else, face facts, when the Metroid DNA left the building, there was nolonger a point for the X to exist. Also, FYI, they're already working on Metroid 5 for the Switch, it will hit before Prime 4.

Did you forget literally the entire campaign of Halo 2? You don't even play as Chief for half of it.

>I'm in my 30s, you underage faggot, Halo 2 was liked for its multiplayer.
So then why are you pretending that nobody ever liked the covenant, you retarded roleplaying child?

That's where I'm right, no one reads the fucking books and the lore and universe isn't interesting in Halo. What made Halo CE-3 good was the gameplay and levels, which is mostly the case for Halo CE and Halo 3.

>NOBODY EVER THOUGHT THE COVENANT WAS INTERESTING
You can say it as much as you want, it wont make it true.

The Chief half is the only part of the campaign that was good.

Because no one ever did like the Covenant, you underage retard.

Addenum: I don't like how he framing Halo 1-3 as some kind of "bro shooter." Not what he said word for word, but it was implied. Just because Bungie Halo did not explore Chief or Cortana as much does not mean they weren't great stories. The Prophet of Truth and Gravemind were vastly superior villains to the Didact, and the Arbiter was explored just as well in 2 as Chief was in 4. I mean, I can remember more lines Gravemind spoke in 2 than I can remember lines total spoke in 4.

Eh, Truth is kinda shit in that his character is very inconsistent between Halo 2 and 3.

Covenant were fun enemies with lots of character. Prometheans or whatever are just orange robot guys.

I’m lukewarm on Halo generally, but the Covenant are the one standout to the point of being my touchstone for a lot of 3D shooter enemy types.

Nah, it's because no one gave a fuck about the Covenant. Today I will remind you.

Again, you can keep repeating this as much as you want. It doesn't make it true. You've got multiple people in this very thread telling you they liked the Covenant with nobody agreeing with you - unless you're claiming samefag.

Forerunners were originally just ancient humans till halo 3. They were just the Jjaro from Marathon. That's why humans can use all forerunner shit and humans were known as reclaimers because it's humans reclaiming what they were before.

he was butthurt that the precursors (the race that established everything that came before the forerunners) chose humanity to take the "mantle of responsibility" for the universe. he felt it should be his race, the forerunners.

of course, humans were better than the forerunners in every way and the only reason why forerunners were able to beat the humans and nuke them into the stone age is because humanity was also fighting the flood. humanity had also been beating the flood but after they fucked up the humans, the forerunners got fucked by the flood and had to activate the halos. the only reason why this fuck survived is because his own race sealed him inside of a prison after he went off the deep end.

I love the forerunner novels but I sort of have to agree, bringing in actual forerunners and serious forerunner tech beyond just automated drones is a bad idea.

The fact that the UNSC is able to fight serious, non-disposal forerunner shit at all is insane, given how technologically advanced they are.

That being said I think the didact is the least-shit part of 4's plot. His writing is actually decent, compared to the cringy, all bullshit MC and Cortana having going on or with Del Rio, etc.

I think a good solution would have been to wait for the Didact till Halo 5, and have Halo 4 instead just be you and Cortana alone on reqiueum fighting off wildlife and sentienels, MAYBE some promethians, but they'd be hard as fuck to take down and would require using foretrunner weapons to beat (which would be special and not just reskinned versions of existing guns). Makie it be like metroid prime with a heavy focus on exploration and isolation. Cortana would slowly go rampant over the course of the game and she'd eventually merge with requeim's systems and try to keep you trapped their with her, and you'd have to kill her to take her out.

Then the Didact instead can have the "bringing peace to the galaxy via the mantle of responsbility/using force" shit


That'd be even worse m8

>All characterization was left in the EU and Terminals, tough shit if you don't do your homewor

This isn't a valid complaint though. His writing gets across the idea that he sees humanity as a threat well enough, as much so as any of the writing in Halo 2 or 3 for the Prophets, Tartarus, etc, then the librarian also does her infodump (even if it's poorly explained) and then yes, you have the terminals on top of that. 4's issue isn't EU reliancy. the game objectively, factually explains itself more then any other Halo game.

4's issue is it's story and writing are just shit.

>cheefags

>humanity had also been beating the flood
I am rusty on lore, how the fuck did this happen? The Flood got fucked up by humanity?

also holy shit formatting batman, this is what I get for posting on Yea Forums at 3am

sorry anons

Osteinbly, in reality it was the flood letting them think they were winning.

You should read the forerunner novels. They can get sort of crazy but they do a good job selling how advanmced the forerunners are, how much of a horrific, unimaginable cosmic horror the flood is; the massive time and spatial scales involved in their conflict, and making it feel like a literary epic: It feels like some ancient epic mythological poem, but sci-fi, and then it just slowly spirals deeper and deeper into cosmic horror as a genre.

just go in with as little spoilers as possible, since a lot of the stuff it does sounds retarded out of context

I really should. Kind of an unrelated factoid but I'm friends with Greg Bear's son, and didn't even know his father had written those books until months after I met him.

That's some new lore they added. Apparently humans were basically almost forerunner tier back 500,000 years and they were attacked by flood but made some cure that stopped them and for some reason forerunners hated humans because of this gay as shit "mantle of responsibility" they added and the forerunners de-evolved humans back to dumb rock banging niggers.

Oh and the flood is now actually the precursors that got fucked up when they tried to turn themselves into dust.

Basically the lore is retarded. I always thought that the flood were created by the precursors as a last laugh before they got kicked out of the galaxy but 343 managed to make the lore gay.

Attached: 1561291740723.png (720x567, 539K)

i'm a bit rusty as well but the gist of it from what i can remember is that humanity during the events of halo is still catching up to the ancient human race that existed during the time of the forerunners. the forerunners were indeed very advanced but just as humans thought forerunners were essentially gods who created all this shit eons prior, forerunners and ancient humans were following in the footsteps of the precursers (who i think were essentially the original form of the flood before they got all corrupted and shit) anways, humans started fighting the flood and part of that fight meant they had to tactically retreat now and again. well they started getting into forerunner territory which then caused humans to have to fight a war on both fronts. humans were beating the flood somehow but then the covenant beat them into submission. humans took their knowledge to the grave which is why the forerunners couldn't beat the flood through conventional means.

Will there be a way to recover all the shit you have, I wonder? I saved up a shitload of points in Reach and got that goofy thundercloud head thing, that's an autistic task I'd like to avoid.

Yeah I remember reading that humans were awesome and warned the forerunners about the flood (who didnt take them seriously) and got nuked into the stone age or something like that. I still would like to read the books for myself though. No interest in the Traviss stuff but the Forerunner stuff seems interesting.

>Will there be a way to recover all the shit you have, I wonder?
As far as I know nothing is going to transfer over from 360 Reach. You may get a nameplate or avatar, but I can't imagine anything beyond that. 343 is using the seasons model for Reach customization in MCC. Link related:

>I always thought that the flood were created by the precursors as a last laugh before they got kicked out of the galaxy

I mean that's not far off, it was more just an accident.

I personally think the flood being the corrupted remains of the precursors is fine.

I don't know if that's information I should be sharing on Yea Forums, user.

Why the fuck did they make the forerunners a different species. It was heavily hinted in the Bungie halo games that the forerunners were just ancient space humans. Not some gay looking Micheal Jackson aliens.

Attached: 1560220469405m.jpg (1024x768, 61K)

all you really need to know about the traviss books is that humanity found a bunch of engineers (the floating guys sometimes get bombs strapped to them like in odst) and with their help and forerunner/covenant knowledge basically create a GIANT ship that can easily dominate anything the old covenant or neo covenant can throw at them. also ONI are dickbacks who purposely kept the covenant civil war going by helping out the people who oppose the arbiter's faction. the asshole elite guy from the side mode nobody played in halo 4 is introduced but you can see he obviously didn't matter much since they killed him in the opening 10 minutes of 5.

As early as Halo 3 bungie was already thinking of having them be seperate, the IRIS campaign, Cradle of Life comic, and the Halo 3 terminals heavily imply they aren't the same species.

honestly the sanghelios portions of the first 2 travis books are alright. it's the rest that's eh

I really wish they just introduced a new alien faction or something. Forerunners aren't that interesting when they're thrown into the spotlight.

Are you ESL or just retarded? Yes, at the time of Halo 4' development loadouts and shit were all the rage with normalfags.

Normies got us Snowbound.

Gay.

You mean a game that was worse then Halo 2 in nearly every way?

Forerunners were originally ancient humans and it would have been kino if they never, ever fucking showed up ever again because the whole fucking point is that Halo killed them all. Dead as fuck. No cryptums, no gene coded impulses, no remnants. Humanity got reseeded, but we may as well be two separate species anyway.

Halo's lore was written as needed for the game. There was a very, very simple fucking reason as to why humans can use Forerunner tech, why they are called Reclaimers, and why the portal to the galactic super-weapon factory was on Earth. Gravemind alludes to this with his poetry (a father's sins pass to his son) and then Guilty Spark screams this in your fucking face after hinting around it for 3 games. Although not for a game, Joe even went on to hammer his narrative home by providing the reason for the Covenant War in the first place - predicated on humans being forerunner and the future Prophets trying to hide that truth as it meant the entire Covenant was a lie.

The Forerunner novels are beyond fucking trash. They would be obnoxiously flowery and mediocre as a stand-alone sci-fi IP, but then it has to flay and wear Halo's skin like a fucking body-horror flick.

Books weren't even worth it in 2001.

What are your thoughts on Halo 4 and 5's writing?

>Though he was originally believed to have been destroyed in the Raid on Installation 08, tiny pieces of 343 Guilty Spark survived, badly damaged and were recovered by the UNSC Rubicon. After taking over the ship,[6] he rebuilt himself as an armiger and began a search for the Librarian, a search that would lead him to seek out a new path for himself with the crew of the Ace of Spades and going simply by Spark.[7]

The only good thing out of Halo 4's story was Chief and Cortana's parts, campaign gamplay and levels had some fun parts but paled in comparison to Halo CE and 3 along with Chief's levels in Halo 2. Halo 5 fucking sucked, its gameplay was fun but the levels sucked and the story sucked, there was nothing really good about it and Warden somehow made me miss Tartarus.

*gameplay

Is this the villain from Mass Effect Andromeda, or Destiny?

He was insane in the membrane.

That’s literally it.

I'm even more mad now, because the bitch in the picture alongside Abortion Spark, is the fucking daughter of Sergeant Forge? This shit is getting Star Wars EU levels of retarded. Why does everyone just so happen to have a connection to everyone else? What are the astronomical odds that the most important lightbulb in the galaxy teams up with the kid of a main character from 30 years ago?

Bungie never retconned that Forerunners were humans, Frank O'Connor did because he wrote IRIS and the terminalsz but that was essentially his own personal preference
