>map packs
>maps range from mediocre to pretty damn good and are all original

>"""free""" DLC
>maps are all mediocre and/or are the a map already in the game but slightly altered

really fires the neurons

>>182232385
Paid map packs splinter the player base and effect the longevity of the game (won't be playing those DLC maps too often that only a fraction of the players bought after the population drops)

Don't get me wrong I appreciate the higher quality but it's not really worth it. Also, 343 is NEVER removing req packs or microtransactions. So we'd be having that alongside paid maps if they ever returned.

So at what point did Halo become shit? I feel like it was some time between 4 and 5. And even then I'm being generous to 4.

>>182242610
Reach started the decline then 4 caused Halo to go into free fall

>>182242610
It was somewhere between 4's launch day and MCC launch.

>go through all the halo 3 maps
>firefight keeping Reach relevant in the number count even longer
So I guess Reach actually has MORE maps than Halo 3? I say this because I always poked fun at how few maps I thought it had.

>>182248425
Reach has 20 non-firefight maps. This is also assuming you count forge world as only one map, but even if you do, that's only 4 maps less than Halo 3's total including both mythic map packs.
Firefight adds another 9 maps which puts Reach ahead.

Halo 3 is about to become the most populated halo game again.
It will be in the top 10 most played XBL games.

>>182265817
Press X to doubt.
There's a new CoD coming out, so that'll probably last until then if at all.

So I just finished spv3.

Holy shit, the sound the grizzly makes when you fire the cannons is underwhelming as fuck.

>>182266815
It's not going to pull old H3 numbers and WW2 will absolutely do better, but it will be a top 10 most played XBL game and it will have a higher population than Halo 5, Wars 2, and Reach combined.

>>182266815
It won't beat COD, but everything he said is likely to happen.
The current college crowd (18 - 22) has a fuck ton of nostalgia for Halo 3.

Hey you guys, you may be made about this, but since Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo Wars 2 art was done by Blur and the outside team. Halo 6 will have the art style of Halo 4 and 5. Well at least there's a chance we'll get black undersuits, right guys?

>>182267729
Halo 6 is prerty clearly being taken back to the drawing board in order to have a more nostalgic feel to it. Everything we know about the game indicates and supports this.
I'm not saying it will have a H2A/HW2 art style for sure, but I doubt it will look exactly like 4 and 5.

>>182267729
They've already said they're considering black undersuits, but they also said that Cortana died in 4 and that 5 was going to be the greatest hunt in gaming history.

>>182267896
I honestly think HW2 is the style they are going to use going forward. 343 was very involved in the story and design monitoring of that game. I think like in HW2 we will see a more classic look for covenant and UNSC but the forerunner stuff will all be the newer metallic shapeshifting stuff.

>>182267909
>5 was going to be the greatest hunt in gaming history
STILL MAD!

>>182267896
True, with the art style it reminds of Metroid and Metroid Prime, Nintendo has an art style for both Metroids and Microsoft has an art style for both Halos.

>>182268023
I remember Jeff Easterling stating that they didn't use the H2A/HW2 models because it was from a two different teams not 343 themselves like the Halo 4 and 5 Elite models were.

>>182268307
It's fair to assume enough time has gone by inbetween games that some staff has switched up. Between Halo 4 and 5 it was in the campaign department. It could be the artists this time.

It will get to the 5-10 spot, remaining there for 1 week until people realize they don't like Halo in general anymore and then the population will plummet. It definitely won't do nearly as good as Black Ops 1 did. Better enjoy it while it lasts, hopefully i'll find some custom games in LFG.

>>182271087

It's silly to just assume it will hit a certain place befire it comes out. So I agree with you there. I think, however, it's equally silly to assume people just "don't like halo anymore". What people don't like is new Halo.

Guys, can we talk about this?
Believe me, I like Prisoner too, but Wizard works just so well with the way CE plays. It's one of the only maps where you can utilize the entire sandbox and have success with it all. It honestly feels like the quintessential 2v2 CE map.

>>182275693
Wizard works best for 2v2, true, but Prisoner is still passable for it.

The problem is Wizard can't handle anything more than 4 people, where as 4v4 can work on prisoner. So Prisoner wins overall.

>>182275693
Prisoner is more maleable though. While Wizard excels at 1v1 and 2v2, anything more and... well, you might as well be playing 16 player FFA on Longest.
Prisoner can at least handle a few more people before reaching that point.

>>182275693
I rolled the dice on this one. I like them both too much.

>Compare that to fucking meme team osiris.
They have only been spartans for like 2 years tops and weren't trained as a soldier since they were children.
