Campaign was bad in halo 5 but MP was halo 2 tier if not better

So who's the face of xbox now

>>376573065
No you're wrong.

Halo 4's campaign was a lot like halo ce just with a better story. Cortana + chief being a one man army and exploring a new planet

>>376572168

Same.

It's a shame you can't have anything other than seething hate for them from nu-halo fans

Halo power levels:
Literally anything but 343 shit.

I still play halo 5 a few times a week. Warzone pisses me off, but it's still fun. Can't come close to halo 3 days though.

>But halo 4 on legendary is the easiest legendary campaign in the series
Agreed, it's the lowest jump from Heroic to Legendary in the series, but it doesn't make Knights any less tedious.

>>376574302
It's tedious because the levels are boring and the story is shit so you don't even have a good reason to slog through them

>>376570437
thats actually really good doe.
Halo alongside Call of Duty fucked with the FPS genre for years, but now Doom is back and its better than ever.
Halo can stay dead for all i care.

>>376574601
How in anyway did Halo destroy the fps genre? Halo 1-3 had

git gud

the key to beating any halo on legendary is realizing that needler> everything

>>376574934
It popularized 2-gun limits, default regenerating health / shields (not as a special ability), and grenade and melee dedicated buttons, and frequent mid-level checkpoints. This influenced FPS games for over a decade after.

>>376575176
That's not really it's fault, though, it's the fault of all the games that copied it's formula without doing it was well as Halo did/doing it right, and none of them deciding to go a different direction.

It's not fair to fault Halo for something it never tried or set out to do that other people did. Think of it like a scientific variable: Halo could have came out exactly as it did, but other games could have not copied it, and the genre wouldn't have stagnated. So clearly, Halo isn't the problem because it's not the variable that causes the issue

>>376575172
>All games beaten in Heroic, except 5
>3, Reach and 4 in Legendary
>getting told to git gud

>>376575176
the ORIGINAL Call of Duty had all of these things except health regeneration which was instead a steady supply of medkit drops.

If you want FPS games using 20 year old FPS mechanics play 20 year old FPS games.

Otherwise stop being a contrarian faggot.

>>376574302

Most tedious is Halo 2 Legendary because lol1shotjackals

>>376575176
So if a game doesn't specifically set out to be another Quake/Doom/UT clone it's shit?
>regenerating health
It seems you've never played one of the Halo titles judging by this complaint. Health regen is balanced out in Halo due to the fact that enemies always pressure you. You can't just hide behind cover as the elites/grunt/jackals always move towards you not the other way around. They also throw grenades at you while your taking cover and their health will also regen.

>dedicated grenade and melee buttons
>2 gun limits
Please explain how this is bad game design.

>>376575435
>heroic

That's adorable

As a fan since before CE even came out, Cheif was never really all that important in the context of the series itself.

His story should have ended in 3. I don't get all the people complaining about the lack of him in 5 or celeberating him being the focus in 6 when /v/ was against him coming back before Halo 4 came out. The lore has enough characters and potential to make spinoffs or even mainseries games with different, more interesting protagonists, Locke is just shit.

>>376572168
>>376572768
4 and 5 being complete garbage is usual /v/ hyperbole. IMO, 4 had a okay campaign, servicable MP, but a shit story. The issue is that "okay" and "servicable" is a huge step down from the "great", "fantastic" and "stellar"level good that prior halo games were.

5, meanwhile, has eh campaign and story, but some of the best MP in the entire series.

>>376575702

IMO Locke's issue is that his VA is garbage and makes him sound lifeless as fuck

There's a reason why we all love the Arbiter and his name is Keith David

if it isnt broken, dont try to fix it, also casualizing these kinds of games is why FPS genre as a whole is almost the butt-end of all jokes gaming-wise.
>Please explain how this is bad design
Playing an FPS on Consoles is already a bad design, everything on Halo is just for casuals that cant pick up a real FPS game, thats a fact.

Cont from >>376575702 because 4chan was being fucky and wouldn't let me post it all at once despite being under the character limit

>>376573065
The story was garbage, but the missions themselves were fine, if not particularly great, and they did have a pretty good sense of atmosphere. It was pretty much just CE 2.0 in a lot of ways, and it arguably was a lot less tedious and frustrating then CE, so, objectively, i'd arguably say aside the story, it's campaign is slightly better then CE"s.


>>376573817
He's right about it being just a redo of CE though. Both start in a drifting spaceship, the second mission of both involves exiting a structure into a huge colorful alien landscape, they both have you stranded on alien worlds,. both uses synth tracks to accentuate the otherworldly-ness the forerunner ruins, and so on, there's a lot of parallels.

The problem is that 4 drops the ball by shoehorning in a romance plot, and ruins the stranded theme which it had the potential to execute a lot better in CE by having the UNSC and their overpowered ship show up.

>>376574384
I'd argue CE suffers from this even worse then 4. 4's story is shit, but it's still there and is something to tug you along, CE might as well not have a story outside of the main twist. All of the complaints about copy pasted hallways and visually bland and indistinct envoirments in 4 apply doubly so for CE, which also has less weapon and enemy variety and jusr reuses levels for the last half of the campaign, which makes it even more repeititive and tedious

>>376575897
>if it isnt broken, dont try to fix it, also casualizing these kinds of games is why FPS genre as a whole is almost the butt-end of all jokes gaming-wise.

And guess why those games are dead? Because people got bored of the standard 60mph, grey/brown instagib fests which was all these games offered.

Playing an FPS on Consoles is already a bad design, everything on Halo is just for casuals
>MU-MUH CASUALS
To think that I almost took you seriously. Thanks for showing that you only gargle what /v/ shits out.

>>376576069
4's missions were garbage. Linear as fuck. Heavily scripted to the point where enemies will run away if you walk back out of the room.

>>376570437
Blame Microsoft/343 for this.

They had their Mario with Chief but they didn't build him up long enough like Nintendo did for Mario. At this point it would be impossible to kill Mario.

Halo by comparison has only had good games for what, 8 years at most? Then downhill from there?

Nintendo has built a phenomenal legacy for their top IP's much longer than 8 years. Microsoft has shown they can't build a franchise with staying power like Nintendo can. Halo had this potential. It was just under the wrong leadership. So here we are now. Where Halo is more of a laughing stock these days.

>>376575843
>he doesn't know the fall of reach came out before CE

lmao

>>376576292
Linear doesn't necessarily mean bad. CE suffered due to not being linear enough in a lot of ways, the second mission is really not great due to it, for instance.

>>376576069
Games are shit. No matter how hard autistically try to justify your purchase.

So I don't get it

How does Guilty Spark's behavior make sense with the retcon that humans aren't forerunner

Humans are the Forerunners' chosen successors

Emotions won't get you far in business, kiddo. Nothin' personnel.

I must have missed that. All I got from 4 was that humans were once as advanced but then were beaten.

It was a novelty but novelty isn't always good.

This really makes me sad honestly. Halo practically made the xbox.

I agree with this. The current halos arent that bad, but its pretty obvious that halo isnt popular anymore. But I guess thats a good thing lol.

Good. This piece of shit game was the original casual FPS that introduced slow as fuck weapon switch, 2 weapon limits, autoaim, and health regen and made it a cancer. It also killed the arena FPS genre and doomed quake and UT to irrelevance.

Burn.

>>376575702
I agree with the Chief thing. I might have actually played the new Halo games if 343 had used a new protagonist, but instead they just rehashed MC for marketing purposes. Bunch of fucks

>>376574056
Are you a literal dumbass?

>>376584968
You say that like Halo, Quake, and Unreal didnt all coexist in the same timeframe.

You know what doomed Quake and Unreal? Q4 and UT3

>>376585367
they died because they tried to emulate the cawadoody and halo fad and died as a result as they didn't understand their fans

same reason quake champions will die, id trying to ride another shitty trend

>>376585776
Quake 4 came out in 2005 you retard. Before COD took off with MW, before Halo 3. UT3 released the same year as MW and Halo 3

>>376570437
Is that why there was so much backlash for Halo 5's shitty campaign that Master Chief will now be the main character for Halo 6 and beyond and isn't going anywhere anytime soon?

>>376582834
4's campaignwasn't good but 5's MP is actually good

>>376584968
Except Halo is an arena FPS you tard

>autoaim
No fucking shooter has aim assist on PC and aim assist is actually necessary on console.

>>376572768
Agreed

>>376575702
>Cheif was never really all that important in the context of the series itself.
Too bad that Halo 2's backlash lead to Halo 3 having all Chief, lets not forget that Halo 5 had worse backlash to the point of Chief staying in Halo 4 outselling Halo Reach. Nope nobody buys Halo for the Chief.
