How would you go about adding human enemies to Halo?

>>527995974
spartan 4 enemies are a no brainer in 343's era
halo 4 set them up as normal guys with normal flaws
but if you ignore 343 shit, they could just be like brutes with breakable armor, grenades, equipment and melee
maybe you could have a riot shield variant that run really fast like those south korean riot controllers
engineers who interact with the environment like watchers; making turrets and shit
medics can heal non-headshot guys like how the flood don't revive 'disarmed' combat forms in halo 3

>>527995974
>>527997318
and they should have covenant allies but brutes and elites should be rare in that faction because humans would fulfil most of their gameplay functions
and give them a fun personality

Humans with riot shields can't shoot, but can integrate with jackals who can shoot. Human shields are resistant to grenade damage. They can't see when charging so they need an ally to tell them where to turn and when.

Stop lying to me!

>>527995974
There were mods that did that, felt a bit weird, but whatever, I am fine with it, especially if you play as an ayy for those missions.

>>527998168
I liked covenant edition for halo 2 mcc. Never got updated unfortunately but different weapons made marines behave differently. Spartan ai was dogshit tho.

Look at those slutty femspartans, strutting their stuff.

>>527998634
>perfected in 5

343's greatest crime. Hopefully Pierre's an ass man.

The final battle between Atriox and Yhwach takes a dark and decisive turn. As the two adversaries face each other on the destroyed battlefield of Zeta Halo, the air is saturated with the weight of desolation and defeat. Atriox, with his shattered arm at his feet, is on his knees, his gaze lost in the dust raised by his own desperate attacks. Yhwach, the Quincy King, remains imposing, the manifestation of his sovereign power encircling him like a halo of vibrant darkness. "This is the end, Atriox," Yhwach proclaims, his voice as piercing as the force that now renders him invincible, the Quincy King advances, the intent to finish the battle emanating from every step, with a single movement, he hits Atriox with a wave of energy so powerful that reality itself seems to tremble. Atriox falls, his energy dwindling like a flame in the storm, Yhwach looks down at the fallen war chief, a glimpse of respect passing through his eyes. "You fought bravely, but the new era is mine to shape," he declares. With Atriox defeated, Yhwach extends his hand, absorbing the remnants of the galaxy, unifying them under his dark dominion. The Banished, now without their war chief, retreat into the shadows of history, whispering prayers for a tomorrow they know will never come, the Quincy King reigns supreme, a new order established under the impassive gaze of the ark outside of the galaxy, the balance of existence is irreparably altered, and hope is just a forgotten word in the era of Yhwach, the true monarch of the universe.
Yhwach stands unchallenged, his dominion absolute. Across the fallen universes, his will resonates, extinguishing the last embers of resistance. The era of Yhwach ushers in silence, broken only by the hollow winds that carry the echoes of his omnipotence. His reign is now eternal, a timeless empire forged in the shadows of his power.

Reminder that /hg/ is completely misanthropic and hates discussions about Halo.
Marty is a fag, by the way.

>>527998061
>rain, thunderstorm and a fucking hail struck
Fortune pisses me. I am sorry, Perkwunos!

/hg/ in its current form has been around for 10 years, and Halo's been in a total drought for 8-9 of those. Every topic that can be discussed has been discussed, both here and in the wider community. There's nothing left to talk about and nothing to look forward to. We have nothing but the final cour of Bleach TYBW, which will surely feature an extensively rewritten ending given how little of the manga is left to adapt. That and the Hell Arc of course, which Kubo will surely return to once his duties with the anime and the next volume of Burn The Witch are finished. There's never been a better time to be a Halo fan!

Q really did a number on this place

>>527995974
It's pretty easy when you can handwave lesser aim as Chief being a cut above the rest.
I want to say even Flood with the pistol in CE don't do the same damage to shields that a player would but I could be wrong, even so most human enemies would not be Spartans with both amazing aim AND the ability to quickly line up that shot.
You can also integrate fearful behaviors/roundabout tactics and instead of blowing off limbs like with Flood, just have them be noticeably bloodied and the limb work less well if at all.
Story-side there are so many options that I'd go over the post limit but you get the general starting idea. You can even make humans individually scared, but then get desperate with tactics like trying to rush you together or be unwilling to peek out and just be waiting to ambush you/get grenaded if the player saved up.
The objective is to make them fun, interesting and set apart from how Grunts and other aliens would act, rather than just be formidable enemies. Beyond this post playtesting would be needed, but reception will also depend on the context/story for such enemies existing.

The series was completed with 3 games 18 years ago. Some spin-offs were good. A new company took over and killed the franchise. The original developers documented most of their work really well and a lot of them have given interesting interviews about working on Halo in the 2000s. There is very little mystery behind the curtain after all these years. We’ve all had interesting things happen in multiplayer and campaign. The story is done. The human covenant flood war is over. The lore that matters is settled. Ask yourself this honestly: what is left to discuss in regards to Halo? Because I actually know that there is nothing left. Who actually cares that Microsoft remaking CE for the 4th time or whatever it is now? Halo discussion is spent. It’s all reruns. That’s why /hg/ is mostly kept alive by anime discussion and gay porn spam.

>>528009421
Would be cool if this new "remake" series follows more or less the intention for the series as of 2, then includes elements of the stuff after the Ark that Marcus and Marty have mentioned in interviews.
At least it would be if you could trust Halo Studios to do cool things with it in a way that's fit for Halo. Might just be better to get those notes/storyboards like we did some of the Halo 2 stuff a while back.
Although as for bumping the thread people can just post webms and new screenshots (or old stuff since few of us have everything from the old File Share)

You're not alone

>>528035126
Man, I hate that map.

>>528036567
Fair enough. It could've been better.

>>528036698
The problem is Reach's sandbox being dogshit. An Halo 3 variant might work though.

I'm so cooked. Which Halo should I play to ease or temporarily forget this feeling?

>>528036806
Do you think if I tinkered with the Forge AI in Infinite it could be fun? Obviously I'd have to remake the map too. I haven't messed with the AI enough to know the quality of the experience.

Should I install and play Infinite for the first time ever?

>>528037390
No. It's FOMO slop and you missed out.

>>528037390
At this point, yeah. The game finally has some content. God the first couple years were so terrible. Why couldn't they release the game the way it is now.

>>528037073
I'd say Halo 2 for the OST - it really successfully takes you to another place mentally

Halo infinite would have done well if it was a good game.

How do you fuck up a space nailgun?

Play more FPS. Especially older ones.

>>528046204
Indeed, maybe just behind Reach. Maybe even better. Just launching with at least as many features.

>>528048720
>Especially older ones
You mean like Quake which had a nailgun that is infinitely superior to the spiker?

>>528048720
No, missile weapons are not that useful.

>>528048756

Maybe they should try retaining developers instead of hiring a new batch of indians every six months.

>>528048969
You are wrong.

>>528048601
Bungie definitely could've done better but I'll accept resources being pulled away for Forge, File Share, Theater and so on.

I miss the Endless Shrimp Deal

shrimp is delicious especially with shrimp cocktail sauce mmmm

I do not even blame megacorps for releasing games loaded with purchasable cosmetic slop anymore. The zoomers obviously want and deserve it.

It's a mix of two things
1. People need to seriously curb their expectation of what "doing well" means for a modern Halo game. There was a thread about a week ago that did a really good job discussing this, but tl;dr people need to stop dreaming of Bungie Halo relevance. It's never going to be a flagship title again in all likelihood.
2. It needs to launch with the full breadth of expected content, including forge and a full swath of community features on day 1.
Everything else.

Unfortunately the game pass development model directly cuts against these things

If 343 didn't ruin Halo, would the franchise still be the gaming powerhouse it once was? I ask because gaming seem to be very flavor of the month now, regardless of how good or popular they are.

Also is matchmaking in Halo MCC on Windows Game Pass completely broken?

>>528111079
No, Halo was old news by around 2009. The general audience was shitfting over to CoD.
Most of the current Halo fanbase was like, 5 back then so they don't know or just blame Reach or 343i for Halo being irrelevent but I was there. The vast majority of the audience were teenage boys and MW2 was THE place to be, "gritty. serious and edgy" vs "cartoon game where you shoot comedy aliens".

>>528111079
No, you don't get more than a week of fame these days unless you're a big live service Fortnite and/or appeal to the chinese. Infinite had this week of fame despite what They would have you believe.

>>528112146
People are still oblivious to the idea that a 50 billion dollar company is NOT capable of astroturfing Halo to zeitgeist in 2000.

>>528111079
>If 343 didn't ruin Halo, would the franchise still be the gaming powerhouse it once was?
No. It had already lost over 75% of its base before Reach even came out
>I ask because gaming seem to be very flavor of the month now, regardless of how good or popular they are.
Not really, the top games have been the same for the last few years.
>Also is matchmaking in Halo MCC on Windows Game Pass completely broken?
It's not "completely" broken but like all things MCC it's busted.

ouugg h I have a boner

For as many anti-racism statements Bungie have made over the years they did also say this

I think you have a point of Halo losing players to COD before Reach came out. People in this thread love to blame Bungie and 343 for destroying Halo from Reach onwards. But maybe COD had already pulled away many players before Reach even made any changes to the series.

If Halo wants to be successful again it needs to appeal to a mainstream audience - people who might play COD, or Rainbow Six, or Apex, etc. Halo should still be a sci-fi FPS game with the same backstory, but it might need to make gameplay changes. If a series doesn't innovate then gamers get bored and they move elsewhere.

>>528048601
It's possible they were worried about it being too powerful as such a common campaign weapon. I can't explain why the melee only did 2 extra damage.
It's alright in ODST because it kept the melee damage while everything else was nerfed.
I have no fucking idea what they were thinking for Reach. Why does it do extra shield damage?

>>528143407
>Reach is fine
uh oh, someone doesn't know about the Fall of 2552

>>528148190
>I think you have a point of Halo losing players to COD before Reach came out. People in this thread love to blame Bungie and 343 for destroying Halo from Reach onwards
Both things can be true.
The core base is what was hurt more by 343's offerings.
But the masses were always going to leave either way. Halo being as big as it was is mostly due to a lack of competition.

>>528151693
>I can't explain why the melee only did 2 extra damage.
The Brute Shot's bayonet deals 20 more damage. My guess is either they forgot the additional zero for the Spiker and the Mauler or they found the 90 blade damage to be overpowered for these guns, and they just removed one zero to call it a day.

>>528148190
Not enough individual power. Halo 2's BR reduced individual power and the franchise has stuck with that design style for every game since. The games you listed give more moments individual power than Halo typically does.

>>528155953
>My guess is either they forgot the additional zero for the Spiker and the Mauler
It's not a multiplier, it's a completely different damage type. It's possible regular melee was much weaker prior to the final game, and they just neglected to change the damage on the Spiker and Mauler. I'd have to find Halo 3 alpha and beta maps to see for sure.

>>528156931
It was a common complaint from CoD players late in the 360's lifespan that people died way too slowly in Halo.

>>528155953
>>528157070
I downloaded the beta, and melee did in fact get buffed between then and release(65 in the beta, 70 in final), but the Spiker used regular melee damage.

>>528157224
Casual players can turn 2v1 situations around much easier in a way they struggle to in Halo. The killtimes play a part in that.

>>528159468
It's very difficult to turn around a 2v1 in Halo even if you're good.

>>528159327
we all do

>>528159587
It's easier in Halo 1 because the gap between average and optimal kill time makes encounters more dynamic though still difficult. Halo 2 BR narrows that gap a lot so fights are harder to turn around.

>>528159906
Yeah, true.

>>528086350
I wonder what a game mode where every weapon hits dead center if you pace your shots well and can headshot would be like. I guess if SWAT is fun then that would be too.
Might end up with people primarily doing single-fire instead of full-auto ever, but as a side-mode for pure fun it'd be cool if machine guns could actually headshot during full-auto.

>>528111079
>game where anyone can get a kill with a single well-placed shot on most weapons
vs
>game where you mostly have to fight past energy shields
It's not a surprise that option 1 would be more popular with people drained of energy after school/work, once it hit a certain level of quality.

This is just all the more reason to let Halo be Halo and not some vehicle for chasing trends to the point of putting what's proven and beloved to the side. Same thing applies for everything that can't best a pretty good Halo game (relative to the technology available).
Was everything supposed to try and be like Halo when it was #1? No. That's a good thing. Many Halo fans who grew up with the trilogy were glad to have games that took them to other worlds, had less budget and focused on single-player rather than multiplayer.
Executives, shills and bootlickers always say Halo needs to become some abomination to compete, then it fails and THEN they go "oh it's fine for Halo to not be #1". It's a nonsensical trend that needs to stop.

>>528111079
Halo took more skill than Cod so normies flocked to Cod unironically.

Halo died because it was the "kiddy colorful game" while CoD was the "mature game for mature gamers like me".
Everything else is cope and revisionism.

battlefield was 'more mature' than cod.
Arma was 'more mature' than all of them.
Halo died because they started making bad games.
Everything else is revisionist history created by people who were not alive when bungie was making Halo.

>>528163313
this is true
cod was the adhd teen game of running and shooting around every corner
battlefield was more strategic and deliberate with vehicles and large scale battles
it also had a bigger PC base at the time (kids didnt play on pc back then)

>>528165330
cod was the de facto "mature game that mainly children played."

>>528159468
I love those fights where you're so on-point for a moment you manage to turn around a 3v1
Granted it wasn't pure skill - enemy both got cocky/impatient and was not used to tracking someone strafing on a very steep hill
Last but not least: we all had the CE pistol

higher kill time=higher skill floor/ceiling.

>>528166195
Basically. Anyway, almost nothing stays #1 forever and almost no one at Microsoft thought Halo would be as big as it was anyway.
Both then and now, I just want a fairly good new Halo. Microsoft just keeps over-complicating the path to getting there by prioritizing the wrong stuff.
I wouldn't even mind a Halo where everything is suddenly more realistic in terms of weapon behavior, but doing so is an even more complex task.
It can also just be a set of modifiers on the side, even as skulls and customs progressed despite not being strictly necessary features.

>>528166629
just dm yeezeid or stock5000 on discord

>>528166782
The game they're talking about is Azurik. Microsoft were blown away by it and thought it was going to be the Xbox's big game. In the end Halo and Dead or Alive 3 were the big early titles.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkCYcN_l24A

>>528166195
Why does it result in a higher skill ceiling?

>>528167649
Admittedly, I have an edit without Azurik just for times when I want to keep the discussion a bit more focused on Halo. 'Course it sometimes helps to use the unedited version as a reference for how off the opinion of higher-ups can be.
Mind, even the best Halo possible with 2025 tech would have to contend with the fact that Halo's reputation has to be earned anew. Or so I am prepared to see. With how much people have remained wanting a respectable new Halo since 3, plus how charmed people were by Halo's blend of themes in 2001, reception to a reasonably good new one might surprise me.

>>528167740
You have to aim and make sure your target dies. Your enemy has plenty of tools to run away or reverse the encounter.

>>528168501
I really don't think Microsoft care about building Halo anymore. Call of Duty is their money FPS franchise now. Halo is getting a shitty remake to exploit the name. id and MachineGames are making original titles so that's where they want to win the fans Call of Duty misses.

>>528169072
You have to aim regardless. Having more time to make decisions and react creates a lower-skill game. If there is no meaningful way to gain the upper hand in a fight, it's going to become a game of who sees who first no matter what. There needs to be a large gap between the fastest possible kill time the average one.

>>528169337
>Having more time to make decisions and react creates a lower-skill game.
Elaborate.
>If there is no meaningful way to gain the upper hand in a fight
What are first shots, head shots, having a power weapon, having a better position, having a teammate, etc.
We've been through this before, and your pedantic ass won't accept any answers.

A halo player will always beat a cod player of similar skill.

>>528169309
It's true that they could entirely shelve Halo before tapping into its potential.
Even that is weird and sad because a lot of the muck-ups involved putting effort into adding stuff people weren't asking for anyway.
Like they punched holes in the ship and now are just letting it sink as if the outcome was inevitable instead of entirely avoidable.

>>528169781
>Elaborate.
Less time to make decisions rewards people who are able to do so quickly.
>What are first shots
I thought you people defended long TTKs because it means the first shot doesn't always win.
>head shots
Something you're going to be doing no matter what because headshot weapons are always the best.
>having a power weapon
That's the opposite of a long TTK.
>having a better position
Doesn't matter when you can just walk away from a fight.
>having a teammate
Bad game design when you need to always have a partner to focus fire on anyone.

>>528167649
AAA was a mistake; glad we're going back to the creative innovative age since graphic hit diminishing returns. Realism was always garbage.

>>528162617
>Halo took more skill than Cod so normies flocked to Cod unironically.
that's... mostly true
But another part of it is that regardless of how much skill cod4 took, it pretty much hooked people on a constant short term dopamine addiction of constant unlocks. You can lose CoD4 (and onwards) games and not get pissed off as long as you unlocked something or leveld up.

>>528179305

>>528184240
Where's the gameplay, Halo Studios?

CEmake is a game about time travel.
Atriox is harnessing the endless to go back and change the timeline. There are two Master Chiefs. One from the future, one from CE.

>>528183630

>>528184484
Is one of the Master Chiefs the one from the universe where humans are forerunners?

Every aspect of Halo Wars 2 is an abomination and I'm tired of people pretending that it's somehow better than 343's other slop.

Not looking to argue but for my notes could you explain your thoughts? If it won't bore you to death doing so, that is.

>>528185606
I've never seen a dead enemy land in a sitting position quite like that where it almost seems hurt but alive

>>528186421
I've seen it happen plenty of time with Elites in other games.

>>528186541
I guess I need to be more observant
Amusingly this popped up in my file search but I've still never been aware of it in my own game sessions

>>528184901
I will stand by that 343 should have had the banished be the enemy aliens in halo 4/5 because having, "The Covenant but not," was lame.
They should have done a lot different, but it is a start.

LOL

I can't think of anything genuinely positive to say about it that isn't completely trivial.

>>528163313
Wrong. 343's games have actually been good. People just whine because there are some changes, but there were changes across Bungie's games too. Also people are far too sensitive about whether a feature has previously been in COD or not. Who cares. What matters is whether the resulting game is fun - it doesn't matter if a feature was previously used in COD.

>>528163313
battlefield was just as capeshit as cod but it had more character oriented dialogue rather than plot oriented dialogue

I will not reply to objectively wrong information.

Master Chief represents toxic masculinity

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you

Masterchief represents positive masculinity. (Bungie era)
343 twisted and corrupted it in their era, treating it as if it was toxic masculinity. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.

Master Chief represents my drunken abusive father

Language is important. There is already a word to describe that; forerunner. So use that or be filtered. I suggest you don't let subversives ease you into their web where up is down and men are women.

Okay but if humans are foreskinners how do you explain black people? Like did they actually evolve seperately on whatever planet they were originally from and were planted on Earth with the normal people or did the evolution happen on Earth? But if evolution happened on Earth how does fartrunner tech know to respond to humans because they could have changed in any number of unpredictable ways. Actually does 4header tech even respond to black people? We never see Johnson by himself interacting with stuff on Halo, which is surprising because I'm sure he could find shit a lot more valuable than copper wire in it. Actually he probably would never realize that, so nevermind.
What I am asking is is 343 a racist and is that why he buckbroke Johnson with his ghettoblaster beam?

>>528224315
>Five great games
I'm not sure why you are listing Marathon and Myth with Halo games?

>>528237196
We know, Baza.

>>528239040
?

sorry who?

>>528239360
I guess some kind of explanation is in order. This is JingleBaza >>528237196
, a new ancient evil revealed near the end of the first Halo Infinite single player campaign titled "Become". JingleBaza is a species of alien imprisoned on the European continent (arabic colony) by the Forerunners. On the continent is a location known as "The Silent Auditorium" in which The Forerunners would pass judgement on europoors before their rape. JingleBaza as we know it is similar in appearance to those of the Cambrian Explosion approximately 541 million years ago on our own planet Earth. Pure speculation at this point, but this may be a new hint connecting Humans and Europeans in the Halo series. Anyway, the only remaining member of europoors that we know about is The Baza, who joins a faction of former Covenant known as The Jews, lead of course by the Brute Jew Master known as O'Donnelltriox. She does so with the secret plan to use The Jews and their hold on the arabic world to free her people from their ancient imprisonment and unleash them upon the unknowing Halofest. If you want to learn more about JingleBaza and what happens next in her story, you can find out soon when Halo CE Remake releases on Xbox Series consoles, Steam, and Windows platforms as well as releasing day one on Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass PC. If you wanna talk about this more you can add me at GT: YeezeID, I'll send you an invite to my private discord server where we can continue this discussion. Y'know, just us. Haha if that's alright of course...

>Xbox Cloud streaming finally has a higher bitrate and good image quality, and controller rumble on Android devices
Took them way too long but for fuck's sake, finally Xbox did something right.
Of course it would be better if they streamed you Series X versions of games instead of Series S ones, but still, as long as a Series S game can do 60fps it's a pretty decent experience now

>>528242612
Anon... Your print screen key...

Atriox is going to be killed off in a book.

They should soft-reboot Halo by making Halo Wars 3 where the Spirit of Fire captures an Endless and uses it to time travel back to before they blew up the shield world where they self-destruct into the the sun so their past selves (including Forge) can escape with their FTL drive and become a prominent asset in the war. Forge becomes a Spartan III who ends up going to Halo with Chief, and the presence of the Spirit of Fire at Reach allows for many more Spartans to escape and defend Earth during 2 and 3. Basically they can do le ebin superhero Spartan teamups for capeshit fags in BASED Bungie's original trilogy setting. Maximum $$$.

What if the only innovation we make to Halo is not gameplay but just shoving a shitload of sandboxy, arcadey shooty content out the gate. This is Halo. On a 12v12 BTB size map with warthogs Banshee Elephants just fucking take all this noticeably Halo IPs and be happy already

It's funny how backwards Splitgate 2 got it.
Three teams of eight doesn't make a difference to most people compared to standard big team modes. Wasted effort for nothing.
Eight teams of three has more upsides. Still chaotic like big team, easier to get teams together, players quitting doesn't compromise the game as much, limits the abilities each team has access too, more chaotic objective pushes, etc.
Splitgate 2 sucks on every level.

For me, it's the $80 cosmetics.
They deserve to have their company gutted.

>>528289158
I'm confused. Does the cosmetic give players an advantage?

>>528285475
If you just want to make the popularity argument then Splitgate 1 peaked 2.6x higher than Splitgate 2. The weapons are perfectly serviceable but there's nothing that makes me think "I want play Splitgate for this weapon" in other words boring.

echidna should do only fans

split gate doesn't even have vehicles

>echidna should do only fans
she's already ruled it out on stream last month
That being said it's pretty clear she doesn't have much interest in Halo anymore. She rarely plays it and when she does seems to be getting tired of the forced high pitched cutesy voice overreacting to every kill or death.

>>528284139
I actually have no idea who this is. Is this from halo 4?

i kind of regret not joining 1000 but i also didn't want to list myself as if i wanted to play Halo with any of you
i was in 1100 anyway so it's whatever

>>528317342
thats what I mean.
If we were at 2000 right now the list would have like 10 people on it and half would probably still be lying

You guys really need to treat each other better.

>>528331676
possibly but oh well

>>528331848
I will when they start posting Halo on the goddamn Halo General, also known as /hg/.

Is this the halo thread?

Used to be.

need is a strong word anon
what's in it for me to show these turbo degenerates anything other than contempt? how am i supposed to find decent people if i don't call out cringelords for their faggotry? genuinely the best people i've ever met were attracted to me for my willingness to speak truth to power. and what better place to do it than an anonymous image board? there's literally no consequence.

>>528331864
if the jannies wanted to ban you specifically, they would have banned your IP. next time just go on irc and ask the mods what happened and they'll likely just free your IP address.

>>528332420

What the fuck is this?

You're talking to me like im not one of the turbo gay faggot degenerates lol

>>528332628
what difference does it make? you'd feel just as amused if i didn't. you obviously revel in the humiliation of it. somehow your brain has turned negative attention into positive stimuli. the small part of you that worries about your future happiness is always listening. maybe it'll save you. makes no difference to me.

also stop listening to sad music it just feeds into it

Im new to Halo and haven't read any books but, were the spartans created to fight the Covenant? Or where they trying to do something else?

>>528348392
They were created to fight insurrectionist Humans. They didn't even have shields back then.

>>528348546
And they created up to 3 gens?

>>528348705
First gen was a revival of a much earlier super soldier test that failed, and they were retroactively named Spartan-I's. Sgt Johnson is one of these.
Spartan-II's were created to fight insurrectionists initionally. They did a few missions against them until the Covenant came around.
Spartan-II's were extremely expensive, and halsey was overly picky when it came to picking candidates. Spartan-III's were made to be cheap and expendable super soldiers that ONI could throw at a problem and get guaranteed results. They usually all died on their missions, and they did not have MJOLNIR armor like Spartan-II's or Noble team. They usually had what was essentially stealth armor that had no energy shielding.

man i wish i were home to play halo 2
it really was the golden era of gaming

we know, raul

The 343 Cycle:

1) Release half-baked plot
2) Get criticized
3) Panic, wrap up game's story in book so they can restart with next installment
4) Cobble together a new, half-baked plot
5) Release half-baked plot
6) Repeat

>>528335293
Remember when they fucked around during Halo 2's production and had to rush and cram a product in a few months? Remember when Halo 3 locked playlists when you don't buy DLC? Remember when Vidmaster Challenges for Recon include ODST, so no Recon without ODST unless you're some employee or content maker they gifted? Remember when they locked the last map pack behind ODST, so buy another $40-60 if you don't want to be locked out of playlists for months? Remember Reach's slow as a snail progression system?

NOOO BUNGIE WAS FLAWLESS THE SERIES DIDN'T GO TO SHIT UNTIL 4 I MEAN I WAS TOO YOUNG TO PLAY THEM AT THE TIME BUT MY FAVORITE YOUTUBER SAID THEY WERE REVOLUTIONARY MASTERPIECES LITERALLY INVENTED THE CONTROLLER

this makes 343/HS all the more hilarious.
Despite all bungie's HUGE flaws, 343 somehow looks so much worse. It's crazy.

>>528351317
>a rushed bungie halo still is better and still has more to do than half a billion dollar 343 halo.
Also, all that jew stuff was probably microsoft's doing. Same company that wanted to charge for all xbox cs:go updates.

>plays no different from Halo 3 except gimping the player

>has nothing else to offer
>open city is empty after Sadie's story
>not really non-linear since the missions are set in a linear fashion
>too dark to see shit
>film grain
>bloom lighting turned to 11
>animations in cutscenes are not as good as Halo 2 and 3's
>inconsistent with the Halo trilogy
>Microsoft overpriced it
>Bungie locked Halo 3's final maps on it
>Bungie locked Recon on it
There's a lot to not like about ODST
And don't get me started on Reach.

>>528353941
>was probably microsoft's doing
Bungie were the ones who suggested adding microtransactions to Destiny. Not Activision.

>>528354689
Dont forget releasing the same year as Wars, so soon after 3 and just before Reach. Halo games releasing so frequently and at a massive dip in quality for the same price ruined what made the series special to most.

>>528354689
>too dark to see shit
get your eyes checked

Am I crazy or did 343 never add any new vehicles to the franchise other than that fighter jet and mech in 4?

Wow. The adults are in charge.

Thank God.

It is.
