Destiny 1 had fantastic gunplay very reminiscent to the Bungie Halo series, although it was definitely lacking in story until Taken King, but even that couldn't salvage it.

Destiny 2 is looking like what Bungie really wanted Destiny 1 to be. Halo-like gunplay and a solid story (could be wrong, we have no idea yet). Co-op and multiplayer was great in the beta, and the raid should be good too if the leaks are true.

Thank fuck we're actually getting it on PC. I haven't even bothered to get an XBONE specifically because the last few Halos have been shit, but if what you're saying about Halo 6 is true, then there's a chance it could bring this series back from the dead.

Also I don't think we're going to escape squad combat, which fucking sucks. I would even prefer just singular missions from the perspectives of other characters because I don't give much of a fuck about Chief anymore.

Also playing as Blue Team members could technically be "Chief-focused" anyway if they actually plan on characterizing them instead of relying on the books like they always do.

>>388900779
I mean in terms of arena shooters Overwatch is easily on par with halo 2 and 3, and I also enjoy Halo 5s gameplay very much.

>>388903287
Can you name one thing that 2 and 3 did that 1 didn't already do? You're only praising the next-gen console versions because that's what you grew up with.

>>388903409
DuAl WeeLdING

>>388903371
The way Frankie talked about it pretty makes it seem like they're dropping it. He stated that fans loved Blue Team and liked Osiris but wanted the Chief and plan to make future games more fun to inhabit the universe as the Chief and take a step back from what they did in Halo 5. That really sounds like they are dropping it for Halo 6 and beyond.

I've played a ton of Destiny, and while there is a lot I like, Destiny feels like the background is just that. In Halo, especially from 2 on, there's this very 'lived-in' feeling to the environments. Destiny is just Hey ruins cool.

Stopped at 2 and it's amusing to see where it went. Grunts and Elites look fucking stupid now though, and Jackals are weird and overweight.

I've been filling the void with Halo Online, just missing the friends.

>>388907697
Never happened to me or my buddies, so no.

>>388908434
Happened to me when playing in lan parties, also happened when I used to play it on PC in HS with classmates, and it still happens when you play the MCC, so yes

>>388908583
>MCC
I'm talking about classic Halo on the original Xbox. Never had it happen once. Maybe you and your friends had buggy Xboxs, or defective copies of the game. Never happened in a single LAN party ever. The worst persistent bug we had with 16 player full matches and ONLY ones to that capacity was maybe 2 in 20 games we'd have one or two of the games crash and that was after maybe a solid 3 to 5 hours of gaming.

While I'm not a fan of 343's art and aesthetics, I do appreciate that they use bright and vibrant colors for their games and that their armor is shiny. It's very reminiscent of Bungie's Halo 1-3.

>>388908718

But 4's campaign was shit though. Story is fine, but holy fuck the weapon veriety.

Knights are some of the most tedious cancer fucks to fight in the entire series, and you're basically just forced to use the fucking light rifle 24/7 because all the Promethean weapons are garbage.

>>388910110
Not him but on the weapons part for most of the missions ignoring the third and last mission I was able to use a lot of UNSC weapons dropped, I also used support weapons and power weapons so I didn't need to always rely on the Light Rifle except for at least 2 missions.

This one thing legit makes me dislike MS. They're never going to port Halo 3 to PC, and even if they do, it'll be locked behind windows 10.

>>388914681
Yeah, he didn't make the art for Halo 5 but he was a consultant so I can see Halo 6 art make look closer to the classic Halo style since I believe Jeremy Cook and Sparth are working together on it.

I was just thinking about how incredible of a time it was to play halo 2 online. It's when a console made competitive gaming huge at MLG. What a phenomenal time to be alive.

>>388915436
Bungie stopped giving a shit. 343 is trying but they need to try harder, I'm hoping Halo 6 can break the mold. What they've been announcing got my interest but I will remain skeptical until I see the game in action for myself next year if they finally understand Halo.

>>388915649
343 cares too much about diversity and being SJW cancer to give a fuck about making a good game. I honestly just want halo to die.

>>388902895
Really though I don't get this. If you want to slow down the gameplay you require aiming down sights. If you want to speed up the gameplay you add in sprinting. Why do both?

>>388914289
There's no aim down sights
No sprint
Vehicles
Enemies take more than 3 shots to kill
Weapons spawn on the map not through load outs.
How is it call of duty in space? Regen health?

>>388915730
But 343 are sidelining Blue Team and especially Osiris in Halo 6. Palmer even had a massive role reduce in Halo 5. Plus Linda and Kelly are hot. How are 343 SJWs? SJWs wouldn't listen to player feedback and still push their agendas down our throats such as keeping a black guy or female in the lead even if the fans protest about it.

>>388916415

>>388916475
No, because every game is scripted, dum-dum, some just do it better than others, like Half Life

>>388916419
Literally the complete opposite of what made the original Halo trilogy so great. Chief was effectively a Messianic/Heavenly figure born into the world in Halo 1 and returned to cryosleep once his task was done. Similar to Gandalf in the LOTR. He didn't say too much but everything he said, even if it was a quippy one liner held a sense of depth and importance none of this nu-quipshit will ever come close to.

There are also no older games that are as good as halo 2/3 were in your mind, including halo 2/3.

I disagree. The missions were decent enough, even if still subpar for halo, arguably better then CE due to doing most of the same stuff without being as repetitive and tedious and limited by hardware, but the story was total trash
