Halo's the pinnacle of generic and slow speesh muhreen shooters, plus a total genre-ruining and overrated trash.

Halo gameplay is incredibly slow. If you ever played a FPS on PC and then go back to halo, its like molasses

Why does every shooter need to be fast?

>>378569716
This, Halo 2 was my first Halo b/c I'm a prick. It was really fun, played it non stop with friends, and eventually into online. I still remember there was weird giant bounce glitches where you crouch walk into a corner then crouch jump onto some spot and it'd bounce you ontop of a map.

Shit ruled. That was when the Xbox was relevant.

>>378571320
Xbox 360 was the best console up until 2011. Halo 3 carried that thing so fucking hard.

Yeah, it's not. And it doesn't pretend to be. Why are Quake/Unreal fags so insecure? Shouldn't you be complaining in another thread about how Quake is literally Overwatch now?

>>378569639
Since when? Halo was literally the only FPS worth playing for like a decade. Anyone who honestly says it's trash I can without a doubt say have never played it.

(ex-?)halo fans are so delusional holy shit

>>378570560
Speed has nothing to do with quality, faggot. Not every fps needs to be jumpy quake mayhem with ohk weapons to be good. It required a different style of play, and it was great considering most of its competition was CoD clones

That's why there are vehicles, grenade jumping, high jumps and gravity lifts. Sometimes you just want to slowly make your way across a large battlefield killing enemy after enemy all the way to your objective. It also helps that the levels were very good looking and had fantastic music. There's a reason nobody gives a shit about the quake or UT campaigns.

>>378569368
Every Halo before 4 is good

Even Reach

>>378569368
Reach Team was the D team, genius.

>>378572671
There's gravity lifts, man cannons, vehicles, and various other forms of travel. It's a game that's more about map control rather than map traversal.

>>378569716
I love Halo 1-3.

>>378572671
The maps accomodate for your speed not only size, but with vehicles and environmental elements.

>>378573653
Reach was so good when it came out, Bungie really focused on making things fun. Shame 343 came along and released a patch that killed the game

True that. Still haven't found a FPS with missions as fun as Silent Cart/AoTCR/Two Betrayals, Delta Halo/Gravemind/Regret, Tsavo Highway/The Storm/The Ark/ The Covenant.

>>378574541
Vanilla reach was terrible you retard. There's a reason the classic playlist that was hidden away in the menus had so many players in it.

>>378570528
Almost any series where the first three games are not as complete trash as the halo games.

Warcraft
Battlefield
Dark Souls
Mass Effect

There's dozens more.

Please go on and list why the halo games are bad.

>>378574541
Bungie actively ignored the community with Reach until they gave out the flame helmets. Bungie during Halo 1-3 cared about the community, after that though they stopped giving a shit.

>>378574848
I remember how unbalanced Invasion was during the beta. If you were playing as Elites, it was always steep uphill battle, but it felt good when you pulled it off.

>>378574853
All of those don't hold a candle to Halo in terms of individual strength and complete experience, and some aren't even a trilogy. Are you even trying?

>>378569716
>kino
You don't deserve to have an opinion.

>>378575168
Beta invasion on Boneyard almost always resulted in a victory for spartans, especially the last portion where you needed to carry the core half way across the map in the open.

I remember the beta being more fun than what launched for some reason.

how did half life ruin fps?

>>378576134
Well with that logic Halo 3 and 2 were better because they held more stable numbers for a much greater time frame.

The spartan abilities were never liked in Reach, and was a major turn off to most fans.

>>378576134
Show me your proof that the numbers were cut in half immediately after Anniversary launched. The numbers for reach started to dwindle well before even the Noble map pack launched, but I'd love to see your works cited.

>>378576568
>Well with that logic Halo 3 and 2 were better
Well yeah, 2 and 3 certainly have the best multiplayer of the Bungie Halo's. That's why people played the hell out of them. They appeal to both casual and hardcore players.
>The spartan abilities were never liked in Reach, and was a major turn off to most fans
Reach was designed around casual play, which is why the population was so high for so long despite very few of the hardcore fans liking it. Reach was never meant to be a competitive game, and it died when 343 tried to make it play that way.

Half-Life turned FPS into a corridor.

/v/ only hated Halo due to the fact that it was popular and the core rule of /v/ is to be as contrarian as possible. Now that Halo is dying people finally have the balls to say "wait these games are actually good" because now it's contrarian to like Halo.

>>378575168
Tbh though I have never played another game quite as fun as invasion. Sure it was unbalanced as fuck but holy shit I had a blast.

There are tons of forum posts complaining about how badly the patch affected the game. Pic related

>The numbers for reach started to dwindle well before even the Noble map pack launched
That's exactly my point. A lot of hardcore fans left Reach before the two month mark, yet it's population numbers were still around the same or just below Halo 3's. It stayed like this for almost a year until the 343 patch. A lot of casual players left and almost none of the competitive players came back.
