I played through Halo 1 (for the first time) yesterday in one go and had fun. Levels were repetitive at some points but what I personally liked most was enemy AI, covenant seemed smarter than most enemies in FPS games today. Do you think Halo 1 has aged well /v/?

I still rip through Halo CE every year or two, I fucking love it.

Like you said some of the maps later on in the game recycle assets but the enemies are fun to fight and the weapons are all very powerful and satisfying.

No weapon in the new Halo games packs the same punch as the 60 round AR or the insane Pistol.

Perhaps it's because many of the levels in the game are just the same rooms copy-pasted in a different layout. Levels 8 and 10 are literally levels 5 and 1 respectively but with some minor adjustments. I'm somewhat surprised they rushed the game so hard since it seems like they must've had a massive budget but it is what it is.

It's some fun regardless though.

I honestly still believe halo CE has the funnest campaign of all halo's. No other halo campaign makes me replay it as much, I don't know why but legendary Halo CE is just so fucking fun and satisfying. I also don't mind the recycled levels at all, always thought it was cool fighting backwards through places you just were and seeing the flood and covenant battle it out. Then again I also believe halo 2 is the shittiest worst piece of fucking ass campaign in the halos.

never played halo 5 campaign

Why? Seriously, I've played the first three Halos, and I actually thought 2 was the best.

Then again, I've only played on Normal, so I have no idea what changes so drastically between difficulties each game...
>>
>>323481460
your opinion is uncommon but I agree. Halo 2's campaign a shit, CE 4 life

I mostly just like replaying CE for doing fun things like the bridge jump in level 5 and clipping through the locked door in level 4

I hate the alien levels, just find them boring. I will admit that my experience is corrupted due to the fucking horror of going through halo 2 on solo legendary. I only play the games on heroic and legendary, so for that Halo 2 is just really boring and didnt live up to the enjoyment and challenge I had in other halos.

me and my friends like to go through CE on legendary and take a shot after every death, so much fun.
>>
>Tfw got lost for 2 hours on my first playthrough of Truth and Reconciliation

>>
I think CE's SP has aged poorly, and now it's campaign is probably the worst halo one.

Too many levels are just endlessly repeated hallways, many of the outdoor ones are in fact too wide open without enough combat or just detail/landmark density, the second half of the campaign is just remixed versions of the first half in reverse with flood, there's much less enemy and encounter variety, and the story is barebones so that doesn't incentivize you as much as later games either.

as far as story, I think 2 > ODST > Reach > 3 > 5 > C >>>>>>>>> 4
as far as missions, I think 2 > Reach > ODST = 3 = 5 = 4 > CE
>>
>>323481890
It's not so much a pistol as it is just a precision weapon that can somehow one-shot Hunters. Though perhaps having that niche when may be the problem, judging from how OP the Magnum was in Half-Life if you disregard its low ammo count, and how the only medium-range weapons in TF2 are the Huntsman and the Sticky launcher.
>>
>I played through Halo 1 (for the first time) yesterday

Don't care if it's been answered. Explain. It came out 15 years ago.
>>
>>323481704
the halo 2 legendary is just a whole new level of bullshit that is not worth it at all. It didn't have the feeling of pressure and intensity halo 1 had of enemies flanking and rushing you. instead you get one shotted in the foot from a mile away form a sniper and just get wrecked every where you go, you end up having to cheese the whole way through. Halo 2 legendary is really just tedious as fuck

Halo 4 should have been a new cast of characters and reoccurring old ones with it not being set only 4 years after Halo 3.

The Spartan 4 project should have been ran by Halsey with Linda, Kelly, Fred and Mendez training them. It should have had character creation like Reach for single player.

John should have been the stuff of legend almost a myth, Cortana likewise to AI. There would be hints he was still out there fucking around with Forerunner artifacts.

The entire 343 saga should have been Hunt The Truth. The Didact should never have happened and the antagonist could have been the Warden Eternal who has been the most enigmatic and interesting character of 343s current trainwreck.
>>
>>323481207
I liked Halo 2 the most but holy shit the shotgun in Halo 2 was awful, literally useless on anything higher than Normal mode.

>>323482249
Many people like it for the atmosphere alone, if you want variety and length, Halo 2 is the best campaign. Reach comes close because all the missions have unique settings, but the objectives of the missions were usually just 'go activate X switch at X location'. It's a shame too, because the Legendary mode for Reach felt really fucking good as well, so close to perfection.
>>
>>323483556
>literally useless on anything higher than Normal mode.

HOW. IS THAT POSSIBLE.

It's a fucking shotgun, for Christ's sake, what could higher difficulties possibly do to ruin it?

Now download Halo Custom Edition and play The Silent Cartographer Evolved, followed by Project Lumoria.

I liked The Library. It was spooky and gave me some genuine panic moments when you're getting swarmed by combat forms spawning from ALL SIDES.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56w4VLURmGI

If you want a real EXPERIENCE, play The Library on Heroic or Legendary without using the shotgun.
>>
>>323483703
Bad range and the fact that The Flood were too tanky even on Normal, which put you in awkward situations if you tried to use it on Legendary, you'd just use all your bullets on one mob as he runs at you and one shots you.
>>
>>323484309
I'm pretty sure the shotgun isn't THAT overpowered. You'd still need to fight off ranged attackers occasionally, and the only usable auxilary is the Plasma Rifle.
>>
>>323484434
How do Youtubers usually tackle Sacred Icon, anyway?
>>
>>323484681

The plasma pistol is better. Faster fire rate if you can click faster, overcharge capability and most importantly the projectiles are noticeably faster.
>>
I don't have a problem with the repetition of entire levels, I just hate how samey some of the individual missions feel. Even if Two Betrayals weren't in the game, AotCR still has way too many of those shitting square rooms with the glass windows and the shit in the middle.

I do really love the scale of the game though. Halo 2 and 3 were good, but the huge canyons of the first game were really impressive. I wish the rest of the series had the same scale, but more small enemy bunkers and stuff scattered around. Tsavo Highway and The Ark were close in Halo 3.
>>
>No Halo game has properly recaptured the feel of the free-roam Warthog section from the second level of CE
>>
>>323484681

it's overshadowed by the pistol but the shotgun was also much stronger in ce than any other halo

was actually superior on things that did not take bonus damage from headshots
>>
>>323484892
Why doesn't anyone ever use the semi-auto on the Plasma Pistol in CE anyways? 5 shots an energy blast, and a quicker cooldown.

AOTCR and Two Betrayals are two completely different experiences and they're both great levels, even though they're on the same map.

The brilliant thing about Halo 1 is that when the Flood are introduced the flow of the gameplay changes radically.

Half of the level "Keyes" uses the same map as Truth and Rec, but the gameplay is wildly different. Truth and Rec was primarily a stealth mission with lots of sniping and sneaking, while Keyes is a total shitshow with enemies constantly rushing you down corridors and trying to overwhelm you.
>>
>>323484813
They speed run it, same with Outskirts and Metropolis
>>
>>323481890
It was always that powerful. The lead MP designer in that game confirmed a few months ago.

the one thing that disappointed me the most in halo 1 is that the marines stop showing up after the swamp level.

Nah, The Covenant in Halo 3 blows it out of the water

>Classic halo environment
>Start out with a spartan laser in a beach assault, fuel rod guns out the ass
>vehicle segments mixed with on foot sections to kill Brute Cheiftans in Boss encounters
>Huge areal battle that you take place in fighting alongside UNSC hornets and separatist phantoms that too this day hasn't been outdone in the franchise
>Eliite allies helping you storm a facility
>suddenly fucking flood but not an annoying amount of them
>Classic halo tank run
>Followed by fighting two god damn scarabs at once
>Final rush against truth with the flood as allies
>"And now, you must be silenced"

It's literally a perfect blend of everything that makes halo great, it's like Silent Cartographer on steroids. It is easily the best mission in the franchise.

Who else thinks Reach is the best in the series? Its probably the only game I've played where you really feel like there's a a war around you, then its got the largest variety in enemy types and that Long Night of Solace and New Alexandria levels are GOAT. Its so rare when a Sci Fi game nails urban architecture, the skyscrapers looked so comfy.

I agree, somewhat. I didn't feel in the middle of the war, I felt more like there was a war going on elsewhere. During Tip of the Spear you're about to charge head fucking on to a covenant ground force but then you take a sudden right turn and it's just another run of the mill mission. They keep teasing war but you never get the full thing. But man, New Alexandria and The Package had fucking beautiful atmospheres

It would be multiplayer-only, because AI is difficult.

I'd say make it highly moddable, like Custom Edition.

First release is multiplayer only, but give the game a highly robust custom games systems, allow everything possible in 3 and Reach customs to be done again. Also Forge mode, because not everyone is skilled enough to use an SDK, and to have good customs you need a good Forge mode.

Then later make an update that adds AI, include Firefight maps and the code required to make campaign maps for the game, so people with the SDK can make maps.

Later you release a sngleplayer/coop campaign as a true expansion pack.

Also controller support, splitscreen and LAN support are requirements for the first version.

Imagine being able to relive the days of having a whole house full of Xbox's playing massive systemlink games.

What I disliked the most was that bullshit backtracking to destroy those stupid energy beams, that and the fact that the flood didn't give a rat ass about the covenant and mostly followed me, those bastards.

What I really loved about this game is how the levels are actually open and you can run past 99% of enemies and do your own thing, also like you said, the AI is incredibly smart for a 2001 game although it can get fooled easily if you distance yourself too much from them (they literally stop shooting you and just stare at you), it was a really fun game and it's a shame that the sequel is a piece of shit port with mouse lag and that subsequent games are exclusives, but whatever, not like I can't live without halo, yet.

Think again. Bungie was just using it as a testing ground for that piece of shit Destiny and shitting out one last Halo game for M$ because even they don't give enough of a fuck about their own universes.

Halo 4 had a good story, but questionable gameplay due to the attempt to continue Reach's style.

Halo 5's story isn't great, mostly due to writing and bringing Cortana back literally one mission after she went to the Domain (which has been figured by people who actually know the franchise since the end of 4), but the core gameplay, multiplayer, and forge are fucking god-tier on par with the original trilogy.

They need to stop hiring Brian Reed to write shit.

Halo 1 aged like garbage the day it was released. Performance was shit. Animation was clunky. The AI isn't smart at all. The weapon balance is poor. The game is slow as molasses. The level design is bad.
It was pretty fucking bad and designed to be unfun.

>......How old are all of you?

There needs to be a game where you can play as the Spartan Kids in the early years of the war.

I want to play a Halo game where everyone is in fucking awe of me like that level where you rescue the scientists in Halo 4. Everyone was stunned at just how good you were.

equipment slowed down the gameplay because they were generally all defensive abilities, and the game was already slowed down from 2 with most weapons nerfed and all dual wield weapons being useless
the BR got RNG spread, and then in Reach they decided to give every precision weapon RNG via bloom so you would have to "pace your shots" but all this did was make people spam their shit to get lucky headshots.

That's because either the covenant killed them or the flood ate them by that point

Throwing down grav lifts was still fun, though.
And Hologram pickups were solid in Reach.

Not that anon, but I get what you're saying.

You could easily have a Halo RPG set in the post-war era where you can play as whatever species, and it wouldn't be yet another generic fantasy-races-ported-into-scifi. A shame the MMO died for that reason alone, even though it would have been guaranteed shit.

but its also stupid as fuck.

We should be glassing every covenant planet in return for the war. The entirety of Halo 5 was "these sangheili are my brothers!!" even though they were the same ones that killed billions of humans. It was fucking retarded. Even the Arbiter should face justice for what he did. He was in charge of glassing fucking Reach.
>>
>>323480020
The AR was shit. Literally the only time it was useful was killing invisible elites. Other than that, it was only put in to balance the amount of weapons you had access to on most levels.
>>
>>323492674
Blame 343's inability to write. Relations after the war would/should be a cluster fuck.
>>
>>323492674
>He was in charge of glassing fucking Reach.

Yet he was also partly responsible for the defeat for the Covenant. The end of Halo 3 ended it on a pretty good note.

>thanks for the help, I don't forgive you and please fuck off and never comeback
>ok, sorry about the green guy tho

>>323492674
Arbiter's Swords of Sanghelios are a minority of a faction of which not all necessarily agree that they should ally with humanity. The rest of the Sangheili are generally opposed to such concepts, and number in countless colonies and hundreds of warlords which build upon Covenant legacy, some still believing in the Great Journey.

Meanwhile, the Office of Naval Intelligence basically acts on its own accord and has tried to genocide or otherwise damage alien populations, even the client races who didn't have any command, in their own bout of "fuck yeah humanity".

The Covenant itself is dead. No, not that bullshit fleet lead by Jul 'Mdama which 343i was too lazy to give any name but "Covenant", nor the current status of the fleet now lead by Sali 'Nyon. Realistically every mention of the Covenant should be in past tense at this point.

>>323493407
They are, you just have to look at expanded universe stuff and not just the games. Swords of Sanghelios are a vast exception to the usual hostility.
>>
>>323492674
Yeah even though I empathize with the Elites considering their position, that doesn't mean the Humans in the game should. I liked Halo 3's take on it best. The good ole 'fuck you faggots, but we kinda need your help so we're cool right?'
>>
>>323492674

All of that falls by the wayside against a mind shattering menace that literally melts sentients and recombines them into horrifying abominations.

Halo 3 on PC when?

what the fuck has the infinity even done besides run away?

Also. What the actual fuck is up with the weights of the space ships in the Halo EU?

The Infinity weighs something like 30 thousand tons despite being like 3 miles long.

Aircraft Carriers now weigh almost a hundred THOUSAND tons and they aren't even a fraction of the size.
>>
>>323494096
Writers have no sense of scale and just pick numbers that sound good.
>>
>>323494096
Different metals or 343's personal fuckup.

Bungie has made only a handful of guns that makes sense.

I like how subtle they were all the seven references. For example: the fucking Gravemind speaks in iambic heptameter, which is 7 iambic feet in a line-verse. Small details like that make you appreciate a lot of the work put into the games.

Halo 5 customs is incredible I dont even fucking care about the stories anymore, its just amazing fun to hop in to a game of tower of power, or dodge ball, or duck hunt, or monster trucks, or anything. God damn it is fun.

This was the real Halo 4.

Locke should have been hunting for cheif since 4. He should have been the spartan assigned to look for him. Expect that he isnt a Hasley spartan hes a spartan made from funding of the other guys program and the other guy wants to modify the program for his own.

So you got like Locke who is the representation of Oni spook factory and hes being motivated by his superior who wants his program to be funded.

I mean right now Locke is just a Spartan who is out to possibly kill masterchief because what? Its his orders? To kill the man that saved the entire human population? Locke is fucking stupid I cant even imagine anyone signing up to try and hunt down the most significant person in human history because "muh orders"
