How could they drop the ball so hard with the Halo series?

That's just what happens when you try to milk a series forever.

It was only a matter of time before Halo became the true Halo killer.

Halo is confirmed to be in the E3 conference, it's just not Halo 6. No one knows what it is yet.

Series should have ended at 3 like they originally wanted to

Got pushed far past it's prime for the sake of $$$$ and now they're pretty much bankrupt creatively

>>376879753
This is what happens when you remove split screen and try to replace the main character with some shitty OC Donut Steel.

>>376879841
Probably just Halo Wars 2 DLC so not worth mentioning, remember no FPS Halo game this year.

>>376879841
Halo 3 anniversary on PC.

343 is what went wrong with the Halo series.

Still have no idea how that even happen. What would need to be done to in Halo 6 in order to fix the story? Multiplayer?

>>376881512
>>376881669
Notice I said decent, the game had a crap single-player, but mildly decent arena mode. (I feel like that was the entire reason ODST was made)

>>376883189
>What would need to be done to in Halo 6 in order to fix the story? Multiplayer?
They already fixed the multiplayer for what it's worth and are bringing back split screen but I don't what they can do for the story, I think they should just focus on good level design and great gameplay and leave it at that.

Bungie actually liked halo whereas 343 are only in it for the money so its no surprise that halo went to shit once they took over.
Reach was the last good halo game

It was four or five studios porting over different things all totally independent of each other with 343i occasionally being the go between. Too many cooks, ya dig?

man i had some good fucking times with halo 2bh, good times. But I stopped at Reach I enjoyed it and it was a good sendoff.
Played 4 since I got it for free with some deal and it was alright but I just felt I was done with the series

>>376884079
It's alright anon I'd be stressed if I worked at 343 aswell. Don't let the next Halo flop bring you down man, just make that money and focus on finding another studio. Don't worry too much man things will be alright

This is the equivalent to announcing Metroid Prime 4 at E3 over Metroid Dread, what a fucking disaster.

Delet this

343i happened. Gave Halo to a bunch of monkeys.

What it probably is: DLC for H5 or HW2.

What it could be: Halo 3 anniversary.

What I want it to be: 343 admitting their mistakes with the campaign and making up for it by reconfirming 6 will be Chief-centric, but also announcing a new full length DLC campaign starring the Arbiter.

So what do you guys think the rest of Wars' leaders are? I heard rumors about Johnson in one of those prototype power armors as one.

>>376887089

But they already did this.

>>376888058
ODST and Reach under performed, exploring Master Chief, the UNSC, and the Forerunners was the only thing left for them to do.

>>376887893
Why? It still plays like Halo. The "ADS" is just the regular zoom from the previous games. I also thought the quick boost and ledge climbing were pretty good additions. Sprinting was also well balanced; your shields don't regenerate while sprinting and it resets the timer until your shields start regenerating

>>376879753
> What went wrong

Xbox did

What needs to happens if for them to come out and say "We fucked up the Halo 5 campaign so we're retconning it and doing it over. We're announcing Halo 5, that's it. Halo 5 no added title that focuses solely on Master Chief and Blue Team. 40$ with a brand new story and campaign, but includes the entirety of the Halo 5 multiplayer experience"

So basically the ODST package with the previous releases entire multiplayer packaged together with a brand new campaign and a gamemode like firefight or Invasion.

>>376888518
I wish >:(

>>376879753

And because people, bitched about him not being as much the focus in 5, they are gonna shove him into the focus even more, as well as simplfoying the plots and /v/ is fucking defending it

if this was any other series /v/ would be deriding that as appealing to casuals

Its an expansion to halo 5 with another side to story, kind like what odst was originally gonna be for 3.

They've been toying with this idea for years spartan ops was part of it conceptually for halo 4
