>Why did this gem fly under the radar?
ODST was better

Because it was not good.

no splitscreen and didn't seem worth picking up an xbone for, so i didn't bother

nigger protag

No, ODST was a glorified dlc that cost $60.
It's actually the best Halo multiplayer since Halo 2 and the best AAA arena-style shooter in years.

>halo 5
>gem
Shit taste OP

>flew under the radar
it blipped a huge turd on the radar

343 dropped the ball so hard with Halo 4 that literally nobody cares about Halo anymore.

this then flopped hard with master chief collection's online

Locke and no split screen

>It's actually the best Halo multiplayer since Halo 2 and the best AAA arena-style shooter in years

AHAHAHAHA

Multiplayer is fun as fuck, but it took a year for all the gametypes that the others had to come out. Armor customization is shit for the most part, should've kept the level of customization from 4 and kept armor unlocks to challenges for both multi and campaign. Keep all that microtransaction shit to warzone. Forge is awesome, probably the best in the series.
Campaign was a crap shoot, worst campaign.
Overall a mixed bag, have to rummage through the shit to get to the good stuff.

Which Halo has better multiplayer?
What's a better AAA arena style shooter in recent times?

I've played/ bought every main Halo game at it's release and H5 is by far the worst. It's not even defendable. From the poorly constructed story that only makes a little sense if you read all the books and watched the show, to the micro transactions shoved in your face, to the complete removal of split screen. There are so many reasons this is the shittiest Halo yet and people still defend it. It's incredible.

There's a reason so many people still play the broken mess that is The Master Chief Collection, you know why? Because even in it's forever broken state it's still got amazing games buried underneath. Halo 5 is also the reason MCC will stay broken forever because if it worked flawlessly nobody would be playing H5, there's no denying that.

You're gonna hear different opinions on which Halo multiple was better. As well as people say it was boring compared to anything on PC.

For starters, Halo 5 isn't an Arena shooter. Nothing has topped 2 or 3's multi. within the series.

Halo 5 is clearly an arena style shooter which is what I said.
>Nothing has topped 2 or 3's multi
>or 3
CE, H2, and H5 all have better multiplayer than H3.

Halo 4 was bad, leading a lot of people to abandon the franchise, and the Xbox One sold poorly, so nobody could even play 5.

As far as the Halo series is concerned Halo 2 and 3 were the peak. Halo 3 may be a little dumbed down mechanically but it still stayed true to the Halo formula and was backed up by some of the best maps in the Halo series, stellar campaign, and the introduction of theater mode and forge mode, something Halo 5 didn't even include at launch. Halo 2 was nearly perfect in terms of mechanics and every map was expertly crafted, while the campaign was just ok.

>and H5 is by far the worst.
Halo 4 and Reach are worse.

This

Halo 4 was so shit that nobody played the sequel.

>CE has better multiplayer than any Halo

I absolutely despise H5 but it still has better gameplay fucking CE. This how delusional H5 babies are. Fucking pathetic.

H3 maps are mediocre compared to CE and H2 and the mechanics are shit.
>kept garbage duel wielding
>added gimmicky equipment
>shitty netcode, projectile br with random spread
>2nd slowest move speed after reach
Halo 3 is trash, and the campaign isn't even that good.

>hates H5 mp
>hates CE mp
HALO 3 BABBY DETECTED

I was OK with 4's multiplayer, but I forgtt Reach was a game.

I never said I hated CE, infact the complete opposite. I adore that game, mostly due to nostalgia, but I'm not delusional enough to think we haven't advanced in gameplay since then. Stay assblasted.

Halo 2 mp had the best maps.
Halo 3 mp plays off nostalgia.
Halo 4 mp was garbage and then mediocre when then removed the trash.
Reach mp had trash maps and stupid mechanics in it.
5 mp had bland maps, besides some of the forged ones. But overall a better weapon balance (although honestly the Promethean weapons can just go in the trash)

Only thing I really miss from 4 is the sticky detonator, and some what the Dominion mode. Although that just felt like Territories.

Because there was nothing stupider than killing off Cortana and then bringing her back as a villain

Also the Hype about Chief and Locke duking it out went nowhere

Buy my game, eggheads.

Very accurate. I remember halo wars hype and didn't fall for the meme this time around.

Don't care about spin off so I didn't waste my time posting them.

yep, halo wars 2 is the first big halo title that I didn't buy at launch. HW1 was absolute shit, the only saving grace were the cutscenes.

I watched the HW2 cutscenes on youtube and lol not even that was much. they literally left it on a cliffhanger and expect everyone to buy the DLC to see the conclusion. 343's lack of morals has no bounds.

>an overpriced 2 hour expansion in must play and not optional
>a pile of shit prequel equal to Metroid Other M is optional and no in avoid
>two main numbered game in avoid and not optional
Kill yourself.

This

>a pile of shit prequel equal to Metroid Other M is optional and no in avoid
>two main numbered game in avoid and not optional
what's a contradiction?

>reach is not a main game, only the numbered ones are!
boy you dumb. either you weren't paying attention to the series at the time or you need to seek help. reach was 100% as much as a main game than any of the numbered ones.

Because it's fucking trash. The campaign got so bad near the end that it took me over 3 months to finish the last mission. Literally couldn't stand it for longer than 5 mins at a time at that point.

Why would the Prophets keep pushing for the Great Journey after Guilty Spark told them what would really happen when they lit the rings?

How did High Charity make it to the Ark without destroying the Earth with the Flood? Wouldn't it have had to cross the portal in New Mombassa to get there, infecting the planet with infinite flood spores?

>not numbered
>no chief
>main game

It's literally a contract game bungie shit out so they could run away from microsoft and make Destiny.

>reach is not a main halo game
2001: CE
2004: H2
2007: H3
2010: Reach

>IT'S NOT A MAIN HALO GAME!

It is though, so.

They believed that dying by the rings would take them to where the Prometheans went and some how achieve godhood.

Don't have an answer for that one. Gravemind is a magician.

What did he mean by this.

Do you play as Master Chief, is he mentioned, is "Halo" in the title screen, does it deal with Forerunners, do you move or jump like the Master Chief? No, then it's not a mainline Halo game.

Halo 4 and 5 are optional sequels in case you want to continue after Halo 3. Reach is a shitty spin off not worth playing.

Reach is not a main game. It does not pertain to MC.

You should take your own advise.

ITT: When I look at all the Halo games made, Reach isn't a main one because it isn't numbered and according to Wikipedia, there's no Chief.

wth is going on? omg. Reach was 100% a main halo game. it was just the story that was different. the advance in gameplay and multiplayer is as much as any of the other titles.

I have never seen this argument being made and the game came out 7 years ago. drugs are bad.

>the advance in gameplay and multiplayer is as much as any of the other titles.
exactly. bungie THEMSELVES even said that reach was as much as a halo game as halo 3 because thought it was going to be a side game.

Halo 4 and 5 have literal fan fiction tier stories.
>muh forerunners are secretly humans
>muh chief x cortana ship
>muh anime supervillian
>muh we need a reason to make the story seem edgy so lets make it seem like master chief is a traitor even though it doesnt make sense

don't forget that master chief is now a super hero because the librarian literally gave him powers in halo 4

remember that one time where the Librarian revealed that Master Chief was a the product of a 100,000 year-long Forerunner eugenics project to make a human with the Halo version of Elder Blood and now he's basically Halo-Ciri?

>forerunners are secretly humans
???

>Reach
>spinoff

Just because it's not numbered doesn't mean it's not mainline

>tfw this game is over 90 gigabytes on Xbox One
fuck that

No

he's right and wrong. the promotheans (warriors for the forerunners) are infected humans from the ancient forerunner-human war
it's just children that wikipedia the fuck out of the series or only played MCC and think they know everything. ignore them.

>Forerunners are humans

All the other shit I remember and understand but that one. All the terminal vids clearly showed they weren't, only thin I can even remember that being somewhat mentioned is Guilty saying "You are Forerunner!". But he was crazy.

Yeah Halo 3 never had retarded shit.

Stop forcing your shitty contract game.

...you do know that bungie wanted to end the story with halo 2 right? according to your logic, halo 3 is a contract game too. but let me guess, that's different right?

I never even considered them Forerunners. Just enslaved fighters like the Collectors from Mass Effect.

I actually have buyers remorse for recently purchasing this to play with a long time friend.
Halo 5 MP is absolutely terrible.

It's almost like they ran out of time developing Halo 2 or something and had to continue the story elsewhere. Yep totally the same.

That's why they're "optional".

It's a spin off, get over it.

>Halo 5 MP is absolutely terrible.
don't believe the few people that shill for it. its not even in the top 20 for xbox live anymore. trust me, everyone else agrees with you.

>Reach is bad meme
this needs to stop

>chief x cortana ship
>Bad
Probably the best thing to come out of H4

Halo 3 was an apology for not finishing Halo 2, so no they wanted to finish their story from Halo 1 & 2.

It's called content, no surprise gamers these days don't recognize it.

It's actually quite good, what issues are you having?
>popularity = quality
lol

>not knowing that bungie had plans since CE to end the story with the 2nd game
its not your fault that you weren't paying attention back then but holy fuck, stop acting like you know everything. do you know why the story in halo 2 was so fucking convoluted compared to CE? because they had to add all this extra bs to extend it to 3 games. halo 3 was 100% a contract game according to your terminology. get over yourself and accept that your argument about reach being a "contract game so now it doesn't count" makes absolute no sense.

>Halo 3 was an apology for not finishing Halo 2
odd considering how short and tepid Halo 3's campaign was

If it's anything like other modern games, 90% of the size is from uncompressed audio.

Yall should watch Raycevick's reviews on the series. They each like 45mins-1hr long but they're pretty gud and in depth.

Pocket DMR, actual DMR sucks, all maps are symmetric generic bullshit, big team is absolutely abhorrent.
Sprint and armor abililites.

>reach is good meme
This really needs to stop.

It was supposed to be 2 games but then they couldn't fit everything they into 2 so they extended the series to 3. Not a contract game

>h5 magnum is a dmr
>h5 dmr sucks

what attitude is this picture trying to convey?

did you read anything that he said? that extra stuff you're talking about was all added in so there could be a 3rd game. we'll never know bungie's original story because they were forced to make it a trilogy.

this was all pretty common knowledge in 04. stop talking out of your ass already.

>all maps are symmetric generic bullshit
Molten, Riptide, Plaza, Overgrowth, Eden, ...
