How did Microsoft fumble Halo so much? It is amazing that the one true Halo Killer was Halo itself.

No, it was the jews

>>715941469
ms didn't do anything, bungie cannibalized itself and became 343 or something i forget

>>715941513
>No, it was the jews

*Prophets

>>715941469
Intentionally hiring people who hated Halo, and ex Marvel writers.

>>715943648
I've been wanting someone to draw that for a while but never bothered to open a drawthread, it's perfect.

>>715941242 (OP)
Why are you sad? Cause you can't play Halo 3 online anymore?

The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long. And you have burned so very very brightly, Roy.

>>715941469
>put a w*man in charge
>hire people who hates Halo
This was intentional

>>715944432
WE FLY HIGH NO LIE YOU KNOW THIS

Halo is so good I want it to be separated into 3 games
I want the player vs player
I want coop kino vs Covvies like a whole game dedicated to it, not a horde mode, I want something like a Halotide

Don't be sad that it's gone, be happy that it happened.

imagine...a new halo game comes out... and it starts with chief waking up on Forward unto dawn...everything from 343i was just an alternate universe stuff... and we get the old chief from halo 3 back with Cortana...

Was it 4 or 5 that had that interview? That was the moment I know it was over.

These two trailers just makes me even more mad the more sci-fi the series has gotten. Leave that shit to the Covenant, the UNSC is supposed to be a more advanced humanity, but still recognized as humanity. Ballistic weapons, tracked vehicles, armour etc. as the core of the series. Spartans are supposed to be advanced, but still ultimately human against an entirely inhuman force.
Then not to mention the hopelessness of the human/covenant war. We won, with billions dead, endless planets glassed and on our last legs. Not to say there wasn't hope in Halo but by god, everything post Reach never captured anything close to what made this originally special.

Anon, I need you to be strong, strong enough for to do what you've never done in your life, can you be strong enough to allow yourself, can you just be human?

>>715948875
I will be... a better man...

>>715948875
I don't care what people say, Halo Legends is a mostly solid experience, dumb retcons aside.

>>715945141
>and ex Marvel writers.
Can you imagine if they got Dan Abnett instead of Brian Reed?

You ever watched a documentary where they about a subject and get to the part where they discuss its dark age and then how it managed to climb itself back up to renewed glory?
Normally, we'd reach that part by now

>>715942152
Yeah I dont see how someone could see what the fuck they've been doing since and put all the blame on MS like Bungie isn't fucking retarded

>>715949472
It's not the blame is entirely on MS, it's just more like MS has done nothing to save its' flagship franchise.

>>715949512
Not really any different from how they've treated the entire gaming division

>>715949512
MS is an absentee parent with shitty house rules about employee contract lengths, 343 is incompetent at best and malicious at worst. Leaning towards the latter. Their best work (H2A) was contracted out to Saber and Blur, and also given a reasonable amount of time to be made unlike CEA. The best hope for Halo is the license being farmed out in hopes that something good comes out of along with the inevitable duds.

I remember being filtered by the flood level in this game, I played on a big crt and I was too young to up the brightness to see better in what I recall the level being dark as fuck with enemies on walls and shit.

>>715941469
Women.
It’s fucking women.
Any answer that isn’t “Microsoft let women handle Halo” is wrong.
Halo fell off once they started letting woman get more involved outside of voice acting or something minor.

What happened now?

>>715941242 (OP)
it was a good run.
ngl I nearly shed a tear every now and then thinking about the mid 2000s, how popular halo was, xbox after school, active multiplayer lobbies with literally everyone on the mic, etc.
You really just had to be there, you can't experience it anymore today.
god bless all of my old xbox homies, hope you're doing well wherever you are.

>We won, with billions dead, endless planets glassed and on our last legs
and that was with the in-fighting between the Covenant during the Great Schism. were it not for that and Chief's "luck", humanity wouldn't have had that 0.001% extra push to survive and win.
>Leave that shit to the Covenant, the UNSC is supposed to be a more advanced humanity, but still recognized as humanity.
especially considering humanity technologically advanced even further within just 4 years with the Infinity... it's
fucking retarded, Frank truly carved the road downward for Halo. fuck 343

>>715948875

>>715948123
It was Halo 4. Right from the jump it was apparent that 343 was going to be garbage at handling Halo

>>715951892
It's kinda cool and sad so many people are nostalgic for a loading screen. Truly didn't know how good we had it

>Intentionally hiring people who hated Halo,
I'll never forget the moronically proud way that queen bragged about that. Like he genuinely thought that was going to make people happy to hear.

It's such a perfect fucking representation of the current state of the industry.
