I hope we can get this kind of Hunter diversity in the mainline games. I'd love to fight goliaths.

>>175544187
So is the captain one complete colony just like the goliaths?

>>175544301
Nah man, the main games are where no risks ever get taken and where if they change it up even a little bit, thousand of raging autists will descend upon them

343 are cursed to make the same game and suck up to the fans until the end of time.

>>175544379
Better to suck up to the Halo fans than the COD fans for once in 343's run.

>>175544379
Which series are you describing? There's major changes in all the Halo games. People just don't want those changes to be inspired by a competing shooter in order to grab it's audiance.

And to think these are the people that keep the thread alive overnight.
We really do deserve to die.

>>175544481
The only major unique changes in terms of enemies I can think of are things like skirmishers which were promptly dropped

Halo 4&5 have less covenant enemies to fight than halo 2 did... I thought the games would expand as the hardware got better. Apparently not.

How come there is no big budget Hollywood halo movie? It's not like I want one just wondering.
Hitman got shitty movie, Max Payne did too and Doom. Haven't watched Assassins creed but heard its bad. And those are just from top of my head.
I feel like Halo could get amazing 3 hour long "boring"(for the casual masses) movie with drawn out detector-cut scenes. Something like Conan.

>How come there is no big budget Hollywood halo movie? It's not like I want one just wondering.
There was going to be for some time back when Halo was in its most popular phase, but Microsoft was not satisfied with any of the studio arrangements/deals. As of now the product is in limbo.

Niel Blomkamp directed the Halo 3 advertisement video called Halo: Arms Race and was set to be the director of the Halo movie, but when talks fell through, he made district 9 instead.
Oddly enough, his second movie, Elysium, has a halo ring in it as the main plot point.

>>175562714
They'd probably fuck it up anyway.

>>175562714
Niel used left-over assets from the Halo movie in District 9 and Elysium

>>175561903
Nightfall and Forward Unto Dawn were made to presumably test the waters prior to this supposed TV series we're meant to be getting from Spielberg, but otherwise, movie attempts for Halo usually flop before they even get off the ground. I'd like to think that a game focused around the events of Halo: CE, or perhaps a re-telling of Halo: Contact Harvest may do well, but it all depends on what 343i want out of the product. They seem much more focused on pushing their own slice of the lore than fleshing out what came before.

>>175546457
Sure. What time?

>>175591503
halo 2 was objectively the peak, primarily because there was no other game that even came close on consoles. the moment cod4 came out everything went downhill

>>175590375
When you really think about it H5 is more of a successor to Halo 2 than Halo 3 is.

>>175591741
You realize Halo didn't lose the overall top spot on XBL until MW2, right?

>>175591503
it plateaued with 3 the peak was 2 with live

>>175591724
Oh God this is just depressing seeing how far things have plumetted.
This level of anticipation just isn't there anymore.

>>175591741
Wrong Halo 3 was the peak of the series, when I get home I'm going to post that video of a guy BTFOing that shitty excuse of muh FPS competition that many of the fans like shouting out. Halo 3 expanded on what Halo 2 did putting the community in the forefront. When Halo started appealing to other audiences, that's when it's popularity died. Master Chief, split screen, mp, forge, and art style is just the start of fixing Halo. A lot more needs to be done to get players to become interested in Halo again.

>>175591503
We can't

>>175592761
do you want *those* people back tho?

>>175592761
Theres a few things I really hate about halo 3 (shitty low FOV, slow movement, not being able to see what equipment someone is carrying) but I think it would be silly to deny it's the best halo game. Don't get me wrong, 2 is great as well, but it just falls a little bit short.

>>175592953
I just want Halo to be good again, but no I really don't.

>>175591910
yes but it *went downhill* when cod4 came out

>>175592761
halo 3 from a gameplay standpoint literally didn't change anything from halo 2. all the new features were gimmicks like campaign coop, forge, and replays. there's a reason people got tired of it and moved on to new pastures.

>>175593038
It's like Super Metroid to me, I have my issues with it but I still love it more than any Metroid game and it's still my favorite Metroid after all of them even if it took some things away from Metroid and Metroid 2.

>>175593164
People never got tired of Halo 3, people got tired of Bungie's BS from 2009 and onward. Hell those fuckers are cheating Xbox gamers out of content in Destiny 2.

>>175593937
But that's a CE fag anon.

>>175593824
Deny it all you want, Halo peaked at Halo 3 and went downhill because Bungie became greedy ass holes who no longer have a fuck about making a good game. But to tell you the truth Halo 1-3 were good because Bungie never had time to finish their true vision for Halo. If you look at Destiny it's a primary example of what Bungie turned into after Halo 3.

Not him but being a guy who started with CE, Halo 2 was the worst Halo game in the original trilogy. From the lackluster and disappointing campaign to the glitchy multiplayer. Halo 2 was only really good for its multiplayer after its patch. Campaign was a disappointment from multiple reasons.

How anyone can deny that Halo 3 was the peak of the series is beyond me. Halo has never been bigger than it was during 3s lifespan.

The whole finish the fight schebang, the 360 killing it in sales, Xbox Live taking off on the 360, record sales and Halo 3 being the top game. Anyone who denies this just comes off as a bitter shitposter. It's not a question of whether you like the game or not.

>>175599216
>The only people who think this were too young for H2.
What a load of fucking shit. Majority of hg didn't even play Halo 2 online so you can fuck off with that argument I've been around from the start. 2 and 3 both had immense hype, 3 was much bigger. Highly anticipated, end of a trilogy, the 360s flagship and xbox lives biggest title by far. MASSIVE marketing campaign. Retained a higher playerbase and broke sale records.

Halo 3 is what most normies think of when you mention Halo, simply because Halo 3 is when halo WAS at its peak. You couldn't escape from Halo, it was everywhere.

>>175599752
No it didn't. 3 sold over 2 million more units. I swear some of you really do take out of your ass

>>175601331
Like I've said above, it isn't about preference. It isn't objective. Halo 3 was Halos peak.

>>175601565
For you maybe.

>>175599752
But this is wrong

>Halo 3 lifetime sales 14.5 million
>halo Reach lifetime sales around 9 million

>This argument again
"Muh favorite halo was better than ur favorite halo hurr durr"

>>175600958
Yet it wasn't dragged out.

>>175601565
>Majority of hg didn't even play Halo 2 online so you can fuck off with that argument
What exactly is your logic here? That only supports my point since most of /hg/ think H3 was the peak.

>>175601651
>Broke world records for its sales
>had over a million players online at certain times, over 500k fairly regular on weekends
>not the peak

>>175601837
You have no argument, you're simply projecting. It's obvious your preference for 2 is keeping you from admitting the fucking blatantly obvious. You sound even more like someone speaking for a generation you weren't part of then the people you're accusing.

>>175601804
>dragged out
Halo 2 only has 3 more minutes of cutscenes than halo 2 does

>>175602075
Like I said Halo 3 had a very hype launch, and breaking records is not surprising since more people were buying xboxes. It still wasn't as dominate as halo 2 was as a multiplayer console game. There were other very popular alternatives like CoD.

>>175602193
More like 5 more minutes

>>175602371
Not him see>>175597796

>>175602371
And yet Halo 3 held a very strong population and active community for a long time even with very heavy competition from CoD4.

>>175601686
>halo Reach lifetime sales around 9 million
Honestly I know I posted this but I think Reach sold even less then Halo 4 (since it's from vgchartz). Microsoft seemed pleased with Halo 4's sales compared to how they considered Halo ODST and Reach disappointments.

>>175602924
Reach sold slightly less than 4 but held its population for far longer

>>175602565
It's not 5 minutes. Its really close. 4 max.

>>175603902
Thanks for the update on sales. I couldn't for the life of me find Halo Reach's lifetime sales and I didn't want to use vgchartz since they are unreliable. 343 really should have followed the Halo 1-3 fomula on the multiplayer with Halo 4 over Halo Reach (a game that sold less). If you're going to bring back Master Chief, then you might as well bring back the classic gameplay too. That being said I have not high but better hopes for Halo 6 since a lot of good things have been said.

just played my first few matches of halo 5. the last halo i played was Reach when it came out.

what the FUCK has 343 done with this franchise? why are the playlists all shit and the good ones are ranked only? why are there no BR starts for competitive playlists? why does this game look like shit? why does it take so long to find a ranked match? what the fuck are all these retarded requisition things that arent cosmetics? why is the campaign so bad? this game sucks now give me my money back

Anon, normie are most people that play videogames. They are not virgin losers that spend all their time on image boards. They have girlfriends, they are social, and when they have time they play video games. Just because there's less of them doesn't mean they stop being normies.

TL;DR they're the exact opposite of you

And most people that play videogames don't play Halo anymore. So stop projecting and start presenting an argument.

Wow had hardly any normie on it at all and its got more players than halo ever had.
You really have no idea what a normie is.

>>175635120
Normies are normal people.
They don't stop being normal because there's less of them playing a game than they used to.

There's a possibility everything from ancient Humans are gone. The Forerunners can destroy Promethean creations and they did de-evolve us. That's kinda fucked when you think of it. When a parent gets their kid for two weekends in the summer so they take them to a dude ranch hoping a horse kicks their head, retarding the kid as a way to punish the ex. They let them live but there is always that question of what future was given to them when they were denied the right to choose themselves?

What future like is it really what would have happened if it was a normal evolutionary run and without the librarians meddling. Shit they were groomed to follow the Forerunners planning that when a "reclaimer" released the DIdact our DNA needed to be part Forerunner. Ancient Humans were de-evolved not as a mercy. It was so the Forerunners could uphold the traditions of the mantle while keeping intact their legacy and ensure we lose any future that's entirely Human. The Ecumene is to the Promethean ruins what Rome is to the hanging gardens of Babylon, advance machinery kept functional by creatures that would demonstrate how to duplicate it so we pick up where they left off, guided evolution further distanced the two groups of Humans
when the role instinct had on influencing behavior was lost, when a reclaimer started the events leading to the use of the composer it was meant for Forerunner DNA to spread through the population to end assimilation. This would have ensured the complete destruction of Humans and the continuation of the Forerunner without disrupting the flow of a new species inheriting the mantle

>100% guaranteed colony win strategy
1. Build War Council
2. Spawn Hunter captain
3. Spawn 7 or 8 grunt squads
4. Raid around, grab some power points
5. Continue to upgrade base to top tech level, purchasing only turrets
6. When highest tech level is achieved, build scarab, pull all forces back to base to defend
7. Start spawning more grunt squads until you can't
8. When scarab spawns, steamroll everyone

8. You should have the scarab ready by about 7 minutes into the game. Maybe less. Works every time. I've gone 15 in a row doing this.

>>175684280
Fit Skitterers into that and you're guaranteed

>split screen coming back
>now you won't have a full screen anymore, they will have to turn down the graphics, probably make it 30fps too

Conversely, they could just come over to my place, bring a controller since many pc and vr bundles out there include an xbone controller, and play together on one screen.

>>175736881
Your friends sound like they don't want to play the game to begin with

Why do they have any interest in halo whatsoever if they are PC gamers who don't even have an Xbox? More importantly, how can they stand using a quarter screen and a controller in a 70fov 30fps console FPS??

>>175746248
SPV3 is a fun remix of the original game.
It's a great demonstration of why all dev teams need project leads that are more associated with with the publisher and their endgame goals than the actual dev team itself. The game clearly lacks somebody keeping the team from inserting every thing mechanic from the expiramental phase into the final game. There is no cutting room floor. As a result, the game can feel jumbled and excessive.

At the same ti me, it's still a fun chaotic way to re-experience the classic original, and is recommend it to all CE fans.

Sprint, no decsope, flinch.

No.

While I agree, it's still much more fun than normal infinity slayer

Still has Loadouts, too. And no weapons placed on the map, so you're stuck with BR/DMR/lightrifle/carbine/Stormrifle/suppressor/Magnum/plasmapistol/boltshot only

Why did the art and design drop off so much after Reach?

>>175791045
343 really wanted to leave their "mark" on Halo.
See: nanomachines son

>>175791045
Because 343i went out of their way to make halo their own series, art design was just the first causality and it really shows as they are now struggling as their game have no identity.

>>175791045
Because instead of hiring Issac hanaaford they just went on ArtStation and payed a bunch of 3D artists to make "Sci-Fi armor" to fit on top of the undersuit with no reference or direction

>>175791045
Pretty much what others have said. They've completely muddied the waters by wanting to make a series as big as Halo their own straight out of the gate instead of gradually introducing their own ideas and touches. Most of the redesigns are pointless.

Watch The Sprint if you're interested in how 343 develop their games.

it's like the entire game was outsourced on artstation

Firefight where you can fight against Covenant, Prometheans, Flood and Spartans.

>>175797043
*Ahem* what you are referring to infact already exists, (minus the flood, nobody like the flood)

It is called WARZONE in Halo 5 guardians and it also comes with the added benefit of req cards to use
