>>
>>383655796
Most people here want Halo to go to someone who isn't bungie or 343, that can actually do justice to the franchise.

Or just have it die peacefully without becoming a joke. The memories of the good old days will be enough.

A halo 3 remaster sold for non AAA price on PC and PlayStation would be acceptable as well, but that's dreaming at this point

>>383655935
Halo 5 is good besides MP and Req system. Could have been much better but for both pro players and social dudebro gamers it is a solid game.

>>
>>383655796
bungie is a shell of what it once was. majority of the staff there probably had little to no input in halo.

343i's major problem is a lack of committed direction. As much as people don't like 4 had they continued it's path i think that version of a potential halo 5 would have been better than halo 5 reboot 2. Other than shit design for the forerunner i'd say the biggest complaint was that didact fight is just a qte and that's how they end 5 too.

4 had a decent story when you take out most of the forerunner stuff and the best part of halo 5's story was the hunt the truth marketing stuff. connecting these two together the focus on chief should have been more personal. the original trilogy focused only on his mission and this trilogy should've focused on the man himself. continuing where 5 left off 343 sets themselves up for failure knowing that cortana is bad and all.

she looks like shit now and knowing the cliffhanger leaves little room for them to fuck off the ending anywhere else but the games means this will continue and further ruin Halo 6, and even if halfway through she somehow turns good again we're back to square one with 2 games that have amounted to nothing and a third bad one that'll need to be ignored.

5 has some of the best MP in the series and the best forge by a huge margin, and as a lorefag, The books are the best they've ever been, with like 9 different books in the past 2-3 years alone,almost all of which being around fall of reach quality or better

343 just needs to learn to make the single player good now.

>>383657418
She looked like a bimbo in 4. Completely goes aginst her personality, which they also butchered in 4's story.

He has it backwards, Halo 5's MP and forge are great, but the campaign is phoned in.

2 Cortana was the best, but I agree the jaw was too strong in 3. However 5 Cortana is sort of gross, she's just a blue chick now and not a personified line of code.

2's cortana is still way too polygonal and inhuman in prortions due to technical limitations, all the faces in 2 were wonky. And she doesn't look that great in H2A.

Slap Halo 5's cortana's head onto Halo 2/3's cortana's body and it'd be perfect
>>
>>383658038
>B-but Halo 5 has great multiplayer
This meme is why Halo 6 will flop. Halo 5's Arena mode is flawed. Omitting these flaws won't help. For instance, do you think Spartan Abilities should be tied to the player at all times, or do you think they should be pickups on the map? Does tying mechanics to the player sound like something Halo would do?
>>
>>383658413
Man she looks flat out awful in H2A, like the one thing that fucked up. Why they made her look like an actual realistic person when no one else looked like that is beyond me, makes her seem so fucking weird.

>>383658354
>wanting odst 2 when that story already had a good ending just like cheif's

you are just as much of a faggot as he is, also because you ignore the fact that 5's MP and forge are fantastic and thr books are in a good place now.

A sort of game in line with ODST, but not an actual sequel would be cool, like a game following a Sangheili spec ops squad or something like that, but an actual ODST 2 is just as uneeded as Halo 4 was

No shit it's flawed, every game, including past Halo games were.

> For instance, do you think Spartan Abilities should be tied to the player at all times, or do you think they should be pickups on the map? Does tying mechanics to the player sound like something Halo would do?

I think for what they are having them be innate movement functions, just like jumping, works fine. I don't think making them be pickups would be a good idea both because most of them are pretty foundational to how movement works in 5, and I actually like how that feels.

Also, because having them be pickups would be retarded from a game balance perspective. You'd have to design the maps in such a way that you still factor thrusting or sprinting or whatever in, but only some of the players can use them. But the players who will get to them first are the players who have already picked one up.

It'd be the exact same problem Halo 2 SMG starts had with the team that pickups up the BR's first just absolutely locking the entire map down with the other team having no hope of having a comeack even if the team with the BR's fucks up and makes mistakes or the other team has more skill in terms of aiming, teamwork, and tactical thinking: Whichever team gort the sprint or thrust powerup first would just lock the entire map down and get all the power weapons and the other team wouldn't be able to keep up

The reason why this isn't an issue with, say, Halo 3's equipment is that those were one time use things.

> Does tying mechanics to the player sound like something Halo would do?
I'd argue the core of Halo is that it's an arena shooter. Halo 5 still has even starts with weapons and powerups on map, and you could argue that the spartan abilities in 5 actually bring it closer to those arena shooter roots by allowing for more advanced movement tech then previously present in the series

Cortana is primarily a smartass. She's manipulative, cocky, and sarcastic. Her look in 4 makes her look super homely and overly sexy, and her personality in 4 is also reduced to a damsel in distress who cries and has temper tantrums.

You're not a lot of people, especially a lost clan of 7 million people who played Halo 3 and are waiting to relive greatness.
>You'd have to design the maps in such a way that you still factor-
No you don't. It's your map. Making abilities a pickup means that I don't have to design maps around sprint, like how I do now. This means freedom. It also means that sprint will have to directly compete with no-sprint on a map-to-map basis, and we will see where the crowds flock. I'm not saying that the way I described it would be implementable, but something to that effect would still mean freedom.
>Halo 2 SMGs
That reminds me, Halo 3 has already solved the issue of dual wielding. It's impractical, but it didn't break the game like Halo 2. Halo 6 should have BR starts.
>halo is an arena shooter
Sort of but not quite. If you wanted to make Halo an arena shooter, take the AR combos from Halo: CE, the shotgun from Halo: CE, and the BR combos from H2 and officially implement them into the game, and then you would have a relatively slow, but twitchy arena shooter with utility weapons and great controller support.

t. Anita. She's going insane, there's a perfectly valid reason for her having "temper tantrums" and considering she's potentially going to lose John forever, I can say crying is a valid response to that.

I'll admit Halo 5's forge is pretty decent and the MP is a improvement above 4's but saying 5's MP is great is a large misjudgement. They're trying to change the MP way to much to appeal to Esports and REQ packs were a mistake

If Halo 6 adds in normal ways to acquire armor like Halo 3 or even Reach's system, drop the zoom function, chill out with the thrust and bring back the distinction between ranked playlists and social like 3.

>Why do Halo fans not like Destiny?
As someone who has played every BUNGiE game from Pathways into Darkness to Halo: Reach, I can tell you that BungieVision is not BUNGiE. Look at all of the key staff that make up BUNGiE. These are the people missing from BUNGiE:
>Alex Seropian, CEO of BUNGiE until 2001 and did sound design for all of their games until Martin O'Donnel.
>Greg Kirkpatrick, one of the best videogame storytellers to have lived. In his infinite wisdom, he shoved a book into a Macintosh Quadra so everyone could read about rampant AIs that destroyed planets on Traxus IV.
>Doug Zartman, funny guy that did nothing, but was part of the charm and humour that was BUNGiE.
>Martin O'Donnel, the greatest musician that is still alive, knew a thing or two about storytelling
>Joseph Staten, again a great storyteller who was responsible for the amazing set-pieces we got in Halo 1-3.
>Some of the people left after Halo 3, some went off to other developers, some went to 343 and became total snakes.
>But since the very beginning, Jason Jones was there.
And he still is, and you just take one look at the guy and see that he is trapped on the inside.

>>383655796
I used to love Bungie back in the day before Destiny was ever announced and was just in the teases of teases stage. I don't think anyone wants them to make more Halo games as much as they just want the series to stop.
>>
>>383655796
I loved Bungie back in the days of Halo 1-3 but starting with ODST I knew they were going downhill, Reach confirmed that. I thought 343's Halo 4 campaign was decent but I absolutely hated the everything else, Halo 5 I hated the single player, but I liked the multiplayer and Forge. I hope since Brian the hack Reed got fired after his shit writing in Halo 5, the single player can improve for Halo 6, they already have my interest with all future games focusing solely on the Master Chief, along with bringing back split screen and lan, but I hope they truly understood Halo 5's criticisms.

As far as I'm concerned, Reach was the last Halo game ever made. Last one to have a good campaign; MP had its faults, but I liked it.

There's still Halo Wars, but that's different.

Then I will wait and see how 6 turns out, and even buy it if it's good.

I didn't hate 4, I thought multiplayer maps were a pretty good step up from Reach (but Reach was just single player areas turned into maps, and everything except Forge World was overall weak). The story of Halo is getting stupider all the time, but at the very least let me drive a warthog with my buddy on the couch handling the gunner spot. That's all Halo really is at the end of the day for me, one of the tightest batches of co op campaigns I can do on one system.

But the early Halos are all going free soon, and you can link Xbones, 360s and OG Xboxes for LAN parties. That's gonna be some serious shit.

I enjoy three of them, ODST and Reach aren't great they're shit, I found Halo 4 campaign to be decent at best and I plan to buy Halo 5 when I get a Xbox One X. Can't wait to play Halo 3 and 4 on the Xbox One X and eventually Halo 1 and 2 on the Xbox One X, ODST and Reach can eat shit.

>>383664898
You just reminded me that Halo 4 spent so long building up the leader of the Storm, and then he's killed in an early Halo 5 cutscene and never matters ever again. What the fuck exactly happened within 343 between 4 and 5? Cause I could have accepted 4 as an okay first showing, if 5 didn't drop the ball so hard.

Motion blur, grain filter, desaturated colors, jaggies, slow movement speed, low jump height, no bleed through, and crap health system that ruins what was great about Halo 1's heath system makes the game age like milk. The game literally makes your controller feel broken when you play it.

Not him but I didn't want to say anything but I'm sorry, I have to say something, Master Chief has the most memorable missions out of Halo 2, Arbiter's missions were shit. Halo 3's campaign shitted on Halo 2 except for story, if I were to remove Master Chief from Halo 2, then Halo 2's campaign would be below Halo 4's campaign for me.

Marty and Marcus even warned Joseph Staten that sidelining Chief with an alien was a bad idea.

Well I'm glad I'm part of the majority and you're part of the minority, how does it feel to lose again? You lost to us in 2007 and you lost again and this time the payoff is bigger for us since we get to play Master Chief for all future FPS Halo titles since they're doubling down on the Chief.

Shooting Covenant in Halo 1 just felt the best. Just the right amount of blood/hit particle effects (minus meleeing jackals/elite corpses over and over), and the lack of ragdoll physics made them look much weightier as they fell.

Am I overstating the importance of good death animations for enemies? I always considered it a critical part of a good shooter. The ragdoll physics has never been good in Halo. Halo 2's was the absolute worst, where every enemy floated around like they were made out of styrofoam. Halo 3's were slightly better, but never progressed beyond that. Even when a scripted death animation does get a chance to play, too often it ends with a limb clipping through some object or terrain and after the model switches over to ragdoll physics, it wigs out and flies off in some random direction. Feels more like I killed something made out of paper. If Halo can't have Red Dead Redemption quality physics, I'd rather it was dumped entirely in favor of more and varied scripted death animations. Modern Warfare 1/2 are the best examples I can think of for death animations that (almost) never rely on ragdoll physics.

Hell, they were done with halo 2 but stuck around to finish the job after 2's development hell. Reach, by their own admission was made to fulfill their contract and get them the fuck out.

>still no MCC/H3A for PC
What the fuck is MS's problem? They even started bringing Xbone games to PC, but what a surprise, MCC wasn't included.

Now there's modders literally porting over the 360 maps/weapon/campaign assets and pretty much remaking Halo Online into the H3PC it should have been, MS could have done this easily with their access to the sources etc, they pretty much had it all ported already with Halo Online, could have made H3PC with almost no effort on their part and sold it cheap for a nice bit of money.

There's still some time for MS to cash in on it, afaik the ported 360 stuff is still a few months away, but once that drops and ElDewrito push out their new update I'm pretty sure nobody will be interested in whatever shitty port MS bring out.

>bimbo
How so? She just has a nice body in this one. It really made her waifu-tier which was the whole point of the game, and made me incredibly sad to think that I might never see her again. Also, one of the stories main themes was where do you draw the lines between man and machine, so it's fitting that Master Chief, the big green badass, showed some fear and vulnerability in this, and that Cortana, the blue super genius who knew EXACTLY what to do at every moment in every game before this, also showed vulnerability, especially since she was coming to terms with the fact that she could not "live" forever and that she had feelings, platonic or not, for the Master Chief. One of my favorite lines was near the end when Cortana is freaking out because for once in her existence she does NOT know what to do, while she's repeating to herself "I always know what to do next."
Halo 4 is kino.

The grenades in general just felt the best in Halo 1. Maybe it was overpowered, but I loved being able to rely on plasma grenades to always take down shields in their blast radius. Any elite, regardless of rank or the difficulty, could be killed by a stuck plasma. The frag grenades actually had a decent blast radius, and the massive dirt cloud they could send up was awesome to behold from a distance, especially on the Silent Cartographer beach assault.

>>383668909
The elite's jaw/mandible things would also always stretch in some weird direction. Odd that they didn't just lock the mandible positions relative to the rest of the head, like they do in the remake.

The you claim to be fans of the series yet you say shit like Halo 2 had the best campaign, ODST and Reach were the best Halo games, when Halo 2 had the worst campaign in the trilogy and Halo ODST Reach were some of the worst Halo games ever made.

I don't really see them re-releasing any of the old Halos anymore, even giving them a PC port. They only care about H5 now and trying to make it into a "competitive e-sport", and if people are playing other Halos that's less people who could be playing H5.

It's pretty obvious this is the way they're going, MCC suddenly stopped releasing updates (with the last update pretty much breaking the whole game). Halo Online gets cancelled just as it starts getting semi-popular in the west with ElDewrito, and not a pip about re-releasing H3 on it's anniversary as they did with every other Halo game.

Hell I bet if they'd actually planned H5 earlier (MS planning something, lel) MCC probably never would have even been released.

Halo 4 Cortana was the best one.

You literally have to read books to fully grasp the Halo 4 story. Bungie did not give a single shit about lore. Not one fuck. That's why Reach made the most popular lore book, The Fall of Reach, 90% obsolete and completely contradicted it.
>>
>>383672142
>Halo 4 Cortana was the best one.
If you mean body model then sure, otherwise 4 was your first game. 5 resurrecting her as the enemy was insanely retarded and no Halo fan liked it.
They introduced another ancient civilization before the fucking forerunners. You can arbitrarily dismiss the lore all you want to but it is still lazy, garbage writing.

I did complain about the multiplayer you dumb faggot. The game was so garbage that it was down to barely 10,000 people online a few months after release.

One big problem Halo 5 has, and that Halo 6 will also undoubtedly have is that there simply aren't enough gametypes, there's no invasion, no race, no stockpile, no VIP, and the "insane" gametype that was introduced in Halo Reach that was the basis of a lot of good mini games. Also because there are no equipment or armor abilities it makes it far harder to make minigames or puzzle maps in forge. Halo 5 sucked for customs games, it didn't matter that it had a better map editor because there was nothing you could do with it.

>Destiny is shit
Not at all. It had a rocky 1st year, yes, which you are free to call shit, but it's undeniable the game went through massive (good) changes from TTK onward.
At worst it's a decent game now.

>Destiny 2 will be shit
Not sure why you said that. I haven't seen a single person that disliked the new Strike, in fact quite a few said it was better than anything in Destiny1, and PvP seems like a huge step forward too.

343i on the other hand never released a good product, even outside of games their books and other adaptations have been shoddy at best. But when it comes to games (their most relevant projects) MCC was a huge disaster, much more than Destiny was day1, and is still heavily flawed to this day. Halo4 was shit and instead of improving with time, like Bungie did with Destiny, Halo5 was somehow even WORSE than Halo4. So much so that it sold like shit (for a Halo game) and the series is on hiatus. MS probably realized how truly shit 343i is and aborted the second Halo triology on its 2nd game. Halo6 will only be out by 2019 at BEST, but probably 2020 because 343i need 2x the time to make a game half as good as a Bungie Halo game.
There's no excuse to Halo4/5's shittiness. Bungie was also rushed on time to make both Halo2 and 3 and yet both games are beloved. 343i can't release a good game to save their lives, I very much doubt Halo6 will be any better even with the 4 to 5 years of development they got.

>even though Halo 5 had many faults it was still a massive step up from Halo 4
What's this meme about? Getting rid of split-screen is a step up? Lootboxes microtransactions is a step up? Get the fuck out of here. They are SO incompetent that they couldn't even release Forge with the game, they literally rushed it out once again before it was complete and people had to wait moths for Forge, by then most already left (rightfuly so)

>and the PvP
For the company that made Halo 1-3, Destiny is a clusterfuck for multiplayer. PvP and PvE should have been separate from each other. At the very least PvP should have been much more controlled. There were just too many elements due to the game's rng not just on what equipment you get but also the individual stats on equipment was also RNG. Every single patch changes the meta, nerfs are handed out with out any playtesting for classes and for weapons. One shotgun is being used too much? Better just nerf damage for all shotguns. Players complaining that smoke grenades are too OP? Nerf them into oblivion and make them functionally useless.

Not to mention the game is p2p. Dedicated servers would improve the experience tremendously.

I agree in that Nightfalls in year1 were so much more fun, especially the first one ever when everyone had 24 light on average. VoG is also my favorite raid, although the RoI's raid is just as good IMO.
PvP was also fun because it was so fucking broken, and I got to experience the un-nerfed Vex Mythoclast.

However everything else about Year1 was inferior compared to now. Year1 (actually, just the first month of release) was very fun because everyone was learning the game and exploring the different systems and mechanics, but once the hype and the freshness of it all settled in the flaws were pretty obvious.

I have no problem admitting that Destiny Y1 had some problems. it was harder. Not just in terms of fighting enemies, but the game did go out of its way to almost punish you for playing. The individual class materials instead of universal armor mats, having to return to the tower to turn in bounties, legendaries decrypting as blues, the hours of patrol routes for planetary mats, kicked to Orbit when you wipe on Nightfalls. Because of all that, though, it made clearing VoG seem like a much bigger feat. Then Crota came along and was a glorified strike that people have solo'ed using fucking rockband drums. I think the lack of streamlining back then made it an almost completely different game. Obviously its better now that the game is more functional but in a way I miss some of the shittiness.
>>
>>383655796
If Halo 5 is a massive step up from Halo 4, that just means its on top of the trash pile. Nothing 343 has created came even close to what made the Bungie games magic, and at this rate they never will.

Only with friends. And I still won't say it's that great. The lag when Iron Banner starts is fucking awful. And going Trials of Osiris was a good idea but it was plagued by Destinys garbage ass game mechanics. The 1KYS era of ToO was fucking awful. I've never been so bored in my life going flawless. I really hope Bungie finds some way to balance pvp and pve in Destiny 2. They just love to nerf the ever living shit out of pve weapons just to "balance" pvp.

>>
>>383682152
Destiny's lore is extensive and super interesting. The problem is that none of it is in game. You have to go to Bungie's website to view lore 'cards' that have small snippets of world building on them. The rumor mill has it that the story was scrapped and restarted within the year of the game's release so the cards were there just to keep as much of the non-main story info from being thrown out. As far as quoting it, though, I'm sure you've heard
>I don't even have time to explain why I don't have time to explain

Which is a 100% real line of dialogue form the game and was heavily derided by the community because of how scattered and disjointed Y1 Destiny's story was.

Are people actually upset about not playing as chief? The dude rarely spoke much in the halo series beyond basically regurgitating the next objective to the player. Do people actually need to play as him or is it more people don't want an unnecessary story/character arc included into the game?
>>
>>383683092
I remember people being surprised and a little pissed that half of Halo 2 was focused on some random elite. It turned out that the Arbiter was a bad ass character in his own right and was actually allowed to have a voice because he wasn't Chief, which went a long way. There was simply nothing about Locke that was interesting. It was a "twist", playing as another character besides Chief, that had already been done far better and with a much more interesting premise.
>>
>>383675950
This is such fucking horseshit man. Chief can easily kick fucking lumps out of this cunt and 343 make it look like fucking shit. God Halo 3 was truly the end of this franchise.
>>
>>383683092
It's a combination of many things. Halo 5 was hyped it by trailers and such to be the hunt of the century. Locke vs Chief. Then there is very little "hunting," and when it happens it's over and done with. Then you have the AI companions for both Chief and Locke who get barely any development whatsoever. So the game spends lines of dialogue, cutscene time, etc. on underdeveloped characters instead of focusing on Locke and the Chief. Remember when Locke says to Buck,
>You're not the only one who's here because of him
? Imagine if throughout the game we saw, or even played, flashbacks of that event occurring. Imagine the climax of the flashback being Master Chief saving Locke at the cost of one of his Spartan II friends, and right after the flashback ends Locke calls out to the Chief for being AWOL. There's a clear lack of good pacing and direction.

All that said, yes, many people held disdain for the Arbiter despite him being a very well developed character simply because was not the Chief.

>>383683419
There is also this. A combination of things as I said. According to lore (that I haven't read), Locke should not have held his own at ALL against Chief. Not one bit. Spartan IIs outclass Spartan IVs by light years word has it.

That line refers to Chief stopping the ark, anon. Everyone is alive in the entire galaxy because of Chief. Characters like Laskey were directly saved by Chief's hand, though, which is why Laskey refused to arrest Chief in Halo 4 against the Captain's wishes.

>>383683908
The photography, delivery, and editing doesn't reflect that, as much as that makes sense. Locke's delivery sounds like he's making a point to Buck that Chief personally saved him.
>>
>>383672713
I actually really liked 4. The music they used was top tier and it was quite impressive visually when it was released. The campaign definitely wasn't in the original trilogy's league but it was still interesting seeing the Chief appear to be more human and watching how strained his relationship with Cortana got as she got more and more rampant. There's also something about the multiplayer I really enjoyed but it's been so long since I played I've forgotten what it was.

Halo 5 felt like such a disappointment. The campaign was the worst of the series in my opinion. It felt too short and you played as Osiris way more than you played as Blue team. The multiplayer didn't keep me entertained for very long but I had some fun with it while it lasted.
>>
I know it was just to excuse armor variations in multiplayer, but S2's going out and getting new armor beyond the standard issue will forever irritate me. Blue Team especially.
>>
>>383683908
>>383684047
Going further, that really makes 343's handling of Captain Surrenderthatai even worse. Why they didn't create a likable captain who butts heads with the Chief but holds a strong rapport with Lasky, who gives Lasky the Infinity with his dying breath, is beyond me. I can't tell you how hard I sighed when Lasky tells you the equivalent of "the captain got written out of the game so I can be in charge and help you."

I went back and replayed ODST recently and I didn't remember it being so short. Not including Firefight in the MCC was a fucking travesty.

Destiny was mediocre. Destiny Raid DLC was pretty good.

Destiny Taken King was actually very solid.

Destiny Taken King without any content additions forever was WoD tier.

Destiny 2 will probably be pretty solid and have strong DLC.

While I liked the visuals of Halo 5 and I appreciated the gameplay being changed even if it wasn't necessarily better the story was really shit.

I don't even really like game stories, they are disposable trash, but literally nothing is explained and the ending is literally KEPT YOU WAITING HUH BUY 6.

I have a question about Halo reach and how it connects to CE
In the end of Reach we see Noble 6 hand over Cortana to the pillar of autumn
nomore than an hour could have passed between the pillar of autumn taking off and arriving near reach
but in the beginning of CE we see that Cortana is already familliar with master chief when it should hae been their first time meeting and she is also familliar with Cmmander Keyes when they would've known eachother an hour tops.

Cortana is an experimental AI based on the brain of Dr Halsey. Halsey was project lead of the S2's and had a relationship with Captain Keyes. She's Miranda Keyes' mother. I believe the games allude to Cortana retaining some of her memories from halsey but it's hard to say due to Halsey and Cortana having the same VA so any time one is speaking about memories of the past, you never know 100%. that would Cortana's intimate knowledge of both. That, or the fact that she's a super AI that can "think" thousands of thoughts per second.

How can I when you just said you don't care about the aliens and their motives, which is the whole reason why it is good. It has a depth to it Halo 1 did not have. It has a relatable protagonist with goals, struggles, who learns about himself and wants to free his people. Tartarus, with one smarmy line of dialogue when his brutes are escorting the Arbiter to the prophets, gets a shitton of characterization for himself and his people. But none of this matters because you just now said you don't care.

yeah, that's why she looks uglier in 5 and people are angry about her changing in both face and clothing.

>Halo 5 is good besides MP and Req system

m8 Halo 5's multiplayer (warzone included) is the best part of the game, much better than the shitshow of the campaign. It's also my favourite Halo multiplayer to date, it combines the classic arena style multiplayer of the old halos with new modern mechanics like boost and sprint. 60FPS feels so good for halo too.

What are you? Some kinda guy with friends?

>There is someone in this very thread who is unironically defending 5's campaign over 4
4's was a gorillion times better than 5, in every single fucking way for the reasons stated many times by several people in this thread:
>Cortana and Chief's weaknesses are exposed
>We're left with the death of an insanely loved character, one of two of a duo we've played with for then 13 years or so
>Great soundtrack and voice acting and mocap work by both Chief and Cortana
I was honestly pretty moved by when Cortana died. Then they absolutely fucked 5's campaign up by trying to force a new protagonist down our throats and reviving Cortana as a bad protagonist.

What do you mean? Cortana is undergoing rampancy, Chief resolves to get her back to Earth but first they gotta find a way off the planet. The Didact tricks them into freeing him, now they gotta stop him. They help defend the Infinity, then resolve to fight the Didact on their own before Lasky enlists to help. Cortana and the Chief happen upon the Librarian who explains what the Didact is after, they try and get what the Didact is after only to fail. He uses the Composer on Earth, Master Chief and Cortana stop him. Which part was all over the place because it's a very fixed sequence of events.

Recently bought Destiny the Collection for 30$ just for singleplayer content.
Destiny is still Bungie's gunkino. The idea of procedural Halo that keeps concept of variance of weapon / enemy / environment.

>to I AM A MACHINE CORTANA WAS THE REAL HUMAN ;_;
Where does this happen? Chief doesn't actually call himself a machine, but Cortana does comfort him.
>Chief goes from being a one liner badass who understands he's a weapon and understands his place in the universe (as seen in the end of Halo 3)
Yes, things change when your AI life partner is one year past her death and wants to live.

Cortana installing herself on the ring in Halo 1 causes her to shows signs of rampancy (she was actually supposed to go evil in Halo 1 but Bungie thought it was too close to Marathon and was retarded).

Cortana is not a normal AI since she came from the scan of a human mind and that's not a normal thing in the Halo universe.

>He didn't play Halo 4
Chief's end monologue with literally who was exactly especially with the dots on his visor symbolizing tears

Yeah I remember them talking about in the commentary. The thing is you're now saying she showed signs of it instead of "she was going it and got past it." Big difference.
>Cortana is not a normal AI since she came from the scan of a human mind and that's not a normal thing in the Halo universe.
How is this evident in any of the games?
>Chief's end monologue
Two lines is a monologue?
>She said that to me once. About being a machine.
Real rage inducing, eh? What's wrong with you? They set this up much earlier when Cortana is yearning to know what it's like to feel sun on her body. Set up and pay off, it's satisfying. By the way I'm not sure where you think his eyes are if you thought these dots are tears.
>He's actually okay with Cortana turning into a bridge
You haven't said anything inherently wrong with it. You just keep repeating it expecting me to be convinced somehow.

Not true in the slightest. Halo 5 customs are the best in the series, there's just not as big of a community. Since they added a custom game browser I've seen not only remakes of all the classic custom games from 3/Reach, but tons of new ones that could never have been made in those games as well. The real problem is that 343 never bothered to implement them into playlists.

Look, these people are not gods.

As someone who hit Mythic member status on their site, I've seen a lot of shit go down over the years.

They all got lucky. They were part of a team that consistently got given breaks despite them constantly fucking up. But these particular people are not godsends. They were in the right place at the right time with the right people supporting them.

Your favourite tracks were also made by Salvatori, who had finally been made an official Bungie employee since 2014, and is still there. Sure Marty had good vision and talent, but by all other accounts he was a button pusher.

Joe Staten was a cog in a wheel. He fleshed out all of Jason Jones' ideas. Ultimately they had disagreements even since Halo 2. His story for Destiny was very linear, something they didn't want.

They didn't supply 100% of the magic, but they were great for that time.

I was pissed off about them being fired/pushed out for years, but I think it's time we recognised that sometimes ego gets in the way of greatness, and in both their specific cases, that is incredibly true.

Jones is a visionary, but even he needs his supporters to reel him in. Some of the shit he wanted for Halo 2 is laughable looking back. Again, not a god.

Also Frankie's a piece of shit. Spent years reading about him gushing over water in Halo 3 in boring blogs. Literally has no right fronting the Halo franchise.

Halo 3 campaign sucked, ODST's campaign was better but very short. Halo 3's multiplayer was the best though. The problem with Halo was they stopped being about fighting the covenant and kept tying to go to the forerunner/overmind shit. The forerunner shit could have been used as a McGuffin for the Brutes/Covenant to keep getting stronger tech by just finding new ruins. This would have been cool with the newly teamed up Human/Elites. Halo is just outclassed humans fighting hightech aliens, they just tried to change the aliens on us and make humans higher tech.

ODST was a 2 hour long piece of shit. The flashbacks meant jack shit, the world was empty, all of the characters sucked, Buck was the only decent character, worst final level in the series, makes a shitty version of Horde and Nazi Zombies, makes you pay for maps you already have. It was shit.

That wasn't because of the new people coming it. That was pressure on Bungie from microsoft after people turned Halo 2 into a pro gaming feature. They realized they could really stretch the game out and market it as the gamer's game, since all the pros were playing it.

ODST was heavily falsely advertised to the point it was disgusting. Also 60 bucks. And going back to advertising. How did they advertise ODST

>You are alone and trapped in a rainy city with 8 foot aliens. You need to use stealth and tactics. The shadows. Silenced weapons. A brute would be a beast charging at you, something the size of a warthog. You are helpless. But also an ODST. A tough as nails elite soldier.....

What we got

>Run around some city and just kinda sneak around but whatever just solo kill waves of aliens with silenced weapons that do nothing but make tacticool sounds. Run around not much slower than chief. Board vehicles. Handle turrets. But hey you are kinda weaker. And your ODST are mostly unlikeable or at least not tough sounding at all.

And to get any armor types or weapon skins

>Spartans being slow-walking ducks was retarded, sprint makes sense on multiple levels
The reason Halo 3's multiplayer was the best was because it was controlled by everyone being limited to the same movement properties. It was like a game of chess. The gameplay became spastic and spammy as fuck in the later games.

>This. 343i actually does fine on the lore front, better than Bungie ever did, with the exception of 1) letting Karen Traviss write a novel trilogy and 2) killing off characters in really fucking bullshit ways.

Their lore is stupid and uninteresting, and it was terrible in a video game. Why do I have to go read fucking books to understand what is going on in my video game? Bungie got it right by keeping it simple and allowing you to find additional mysterious lore as easter eggs. 343 decided to throw everything in your face and to make it soap opera dramatic. Halo was a titan in the video game industry by being a basic story with amazing gameplay to suit it. 343 made Halo a story game with awful gameplay to suit it. They even ruined the amazing AI and tactics that Bungie had in Reach and 3.

>And to get any armor types or weapon skins

>The reason Halo 3's multiplayer was the best was because it was controlled by everyone being limited to the same movement properties

>>
>>383706758
Let me specify: 343i does a good job on lore, but they're shit at storytelling in the games due to avoiding exposition or just making weird storytelling decisions. If they had competent writers (ex. NOT Brian Reed, thank fuck he's gone) you wouldn't complain about the lore.

Also > muh cosmetics
I mean yeah it kind of sucks that armor isn't straightforward unlocks but it's not critical to the game and you get REQ packs for free so it's not like they're behind a paywall

>>383702606
>Your favourite tracks were also made by Salvatori, who had finally been made an official Bungie employee since 2014, and is still there. Sure Marty had good vision and talent, but by all other accounts he was a button pusher.

I've been tracking all of the information I could about the soundtracks. First of all, it would be most respectful, for the poster you replied to give credit where it's due - the soundtrack is Marty and Mike, not one of them.

Now, from the interviews, most of the traditional orchestral stuff was written by Marty and most of the rock-eqsue sounding pieces (think Out of Shadow or Roll Call) we're mostly written by Mike. But most of the pieces have both of theirs touches to them. That's why they're so great, layered and memorable.

Also, Marty and Mike are very damn good at writing themes and using leitmotifs. We'll never know totally exactly who had more input on the soundtrack, but it just so happened that Marty was more of a people person and also employed at Bungie and not just a contractor, that's why his name goes around a bit more.

Just appreciate Marty's and Mike's result of the colaboration and give credit for both of those guys. They're both phenomenal.

Halo 3
>shoot someone from behind with BR
>they try to move into a doorway

>get kill

Halo Reach through 5
>Shoot someone from behind with BR

>My boost was already used
>He easily escapes
>"controlled gameplay"

I'm not sure if you just grew up with the parkour video games meme but you used to be able to play without auto-dying by random flying people everywhere and could kill people who were outplayed by gunplay. The games encourage running away from battles and having spastic gameplay, not to mention sprint only encourages bigger maps and thus doesn't speed anything up. Map control doesn't exist when they add all the stupid movements to the game, and not having map control in an arena shooter is retarded.

>>383707275
I don't care what game it is, loot boxes or crates to gain cosmetics are cancerous and should never be defended. It is much more fun for the gamer and much more fair to them to unlock armor and skins through gameplay rather than through luck. It is an obvious cashgrab to make things only available by luck and you may never get the majority of skins or armors without spending money.

You're free to like it or not but your rationale makes zero fucking sense
>>
>>383708325
I would much rather get to have access on my own will to the content in the game and pay for additional maps than only get to have 2 weapon skins and 4 armor pieces because I didn't win a lottery.

They aren't doing us a favor by making the maps free, they do it because if the maps aren't free then the multiplayer is fragmented and dies faster. They make lootboxes because they need to cashgrab in a different way and you idiots will defend it because "it's free!!!!" when really you would have to either play the game for 30 years to unlock all the content for free in loot boxes or end up spending money to get the armor or skin that you really wanted. In the past it was that you had to get a hard achievement to unlock that armor you really wanted, and it was really rewarding. Now there is an indirect paywall but you still can't even pay for the armor to just get it.

>>383708768
Then ODST happened and you needed to buy that in order to unlock Recon.

Seems like the best bet to get Halo on the PC.

In Reach/4/5 they made weapons a lot more use able. AR is powerful. Pistol is balanced. Plasma isn't totally trash. Shotguns are amazing.

Also customs. Haha. Sorry but Halo5 kicks that ass hard. Anything halo3 had has been redone and done better in further games.

My god halo3 used to be good until fags made it seem like some saint core game that everything Halo needs to be compared to. Despite it having awkwardly slow gameplay. But it just must be good since muh nostalgia

That's called 70 degrees of vision, Halo: CE does it too. If you played ElDewrito with 105 degrees of vision, It'd be faster than Halo 2.

5 hours late but that's a load of bullshit. ALL smart AI's are built from brain scans. Cortana's only claim to fame in that regard is that she was build from a scan of a cloned, living human brain, as opposed to a recently deceased one. And she's not even the first.
