Fuck off 343

Yeah, it's totally possible. Just hire a good writer.

>console
>fps
it was never good

...

First they need to fire the lead artist and writer, before we can even talk about salvaging the series, or the thousands of gameplay problems that arised from retarded nu-gaming ideas all throughout Halo 4 and 5.

>thousands of gameplay problems that arised from retarded nu-gaming ideas all throughout Halo 4 and 5.

Develop your hypothesis

>writer
Not him but Brian Reed was fired, Halo 6 will have a new writer.

That's not going to fix its shitty art style, bad art design in general, forgettable sound track, short as fuck campaign, forgettable level design (both for campaign and multiplayer), bad sound design, shitty and grindy RNG microtransaction REQ packs, dumb ADS that make automatic weapons too good and retarded sprint and clambering that makes the game feel like it isn't Halo.

Halo 4's story was garbage (see pic related as for why) and Halo 5's story was so bad that you can't salvage it into something good.

Firing Brian Reed isn't going to make Halo suddenly good, this I swear to you.

The sound design is just downright offensive in both Halo 4 and 5. You want to tear your ears off after an hour of playing either from all the tinny clanking noises when running and reloading;... basically every action involved with playing the game.

Look all you stated was that they needed to fire the writer, I explain to you that they already did I didn't ask for a description on why Halo 4 and 5's stories sucked.

There's a theory that Halo 6 is going to return to Reach, at least for a few missions. That'll be interesting.

I hope they add more Forerunner weapons that are actually more than just re skins of existing human/covenant weapons. And that they bring the flood back.

>Is it possible to fix?

They already fixed the core gameplay and MP for the most part in H5. They just need to

>Get a good writer for the stories
>get competent mission designers for the campaign
>bring back splitscreen
>unfuck the art design
>not make the forge and MP any worse then it was in 5

Splitscreen is already confirmed back as well

How did you react when you heard the new *PEW PEW PEW* sound of the plasma pistols?

thats a JUST moment

>unfuck the art design
I have a bad feeling this won't be fixed since the art director for Halo 5 just recently made the cover art for Halo Warfleet.

I agree with this. Except they really need to either rework the prometheans as an enemy, or just get a new enemy entirely. They are not fun or challenging to fight, and their entire design from a gameplay perspective is horrible. They are a chore to fight.

I've given up on waiting for Halo to come to PC. If they're not going to bring it to PC, the fucking least they can do is add mouse and keyboard support on the Xbox One games.

>fix the aiming
>add splitscreen
>remove sprint
>balance weapons based on how easy they are to use
>widen the FOV
>actually include enough content at launch to be considered a full game

They CAN fix it, but WILL they? The answer is no. They've had two chances to fix things after Reach, not counting the DISASTER that was MCC. If they were going to fix Halo, it would've happened by now.

Halo 6 will have
>Class/Character based multiplayer because hey, Quake Champions works, its ok to blend MOBA and area shooters now!
>Choose between Spartan-II, Spartan-IV, Elites, Promethean Soldiers, and reintroducing the Brutes!
>Wall running
>ADS returns, but dont worry its not reall ADS, just redesigned smartscope that give a very slight accuracy buff to your weapon even though we said zoom didnt affect bullet spread ;)
>More Midship-philosphy designed maps, because thats what the competitive e-sports people like
>More microstransactions, because its 2017, you dont need to earn your armor and skins, just buy them or pray to RNG
>BIGGER AND MORE EPIC Warzone, gotta flex those REQ weapons, soldier, go waste them out there and dont forget to buy more!

But hey, splitscreen is returning and the story will be centered around the Chief this time we promise, just ignore everything that happened in 5 just like 5 ignored everything that happened in 4.

>not counting the DISASTER that was MCC

What was wrong with it?

There i fixed some of it

The series has been dead ever since the original trilogy ended, now they're just milking it

It didn't work, and still only barely works.

Very glitchy.

Servers were prrtty much non-existant for months, and even now the servers are still pretty bad. All the campaigns were filled with glitches, achievements wouldnt unlock, the works.

>Go back to Halo 2 and 3 play style
>More female spartan butts
>also add a breast slider and butt slider
>Make the art style more simple

Bring back splitscreen

>tfw still no post-game lobbies
I really miss this shit, it was pretty much the best way to find people to play with in the past and also the easiest way to get people into your custom games. Having a recurring group of people in a lobby really helped foster a sense of community, if you played 10 matches and never left you'd inevitably have some sort of rivalry or comeradery with the others that stayed, the trash talking was great, now it feels so artificial and lifeless they just boot you back to the menu.

>tfw Halo 5 came out almost 2 years ago
I swear to god it feels like just yesterday I was watching the live stream where they announced Halo 4.

5 secretly does it. It doesn't refresh the matchmaking pool until you back out.

it was never good to begin with
shit-tier and boring gameplay combined with cliche story and superb atmosphere/sound

I actually wouldn't mind a class-based gametype where I can play as other species, at then it can be self-contained due to how Halo handles new modes.

>add splitscreen
They're already doing this though.

>Wall running
Don't forget the double jump man, you can't forget the double jump and possibly rail sliding as well.

Multiplayer looks fun but they gotta fix the price. No it's not worth $25 because it's muh Halo. SP campaign was shit so sell it for the incomplete game it was, which should be like $6 or as a free gold game.

See

>even though we said zoom didnt affect bullet spread ;)

Zoom has always affected spread

It's still worth mentioning.

They need more less serious/competitive game modes in multiplayer. Bring back invasion and introduce new game modes that aren't laser focused on competitive.

*these

True

So Minigame?

Warzone assault is essentially invasion already

The thing that made Invasion special was that each phase could be a different mode. WZA is always
>capture a single point
>capture a single point
>destroy the core

No it is not. Good lord, no.

I'm not saying you're WAY off, but that's reaching a little. That's almost like saying Strongholds is Dominion.

a good competitive game is a fun game, that's why overwatch and so many other competitive shooters is boring or just trash.

Halo was the only series that I sunk time into playing to an unhealthy degree, so it being more or less dead is probably for the best. Although Halo 5 multi had it's hooks in me for a little while.

What I'm saying is getting rid of the writer isn't going to fix the direction of the game. How do you know it was just Brian Reed and not retards like Frank O'Connor, Josh Holmes (who's now gone) and Kiki Wolfkill as well as Bonnie Ross who wanted Halo to go where 5 went?

Overwatch is not a competitive shooter, it is as casual as it gets.

Brian Reed wrote Halo 4 Spartan Ops, it sucked, he also wrote Halo Initiation and the Master Chief's story in Halo Escalation and they sucked. Last but not least he wrote Halo 5 Guardians and it sucked. Do you see the pattern here? Comic book writers shouldn't write Halo games.

campaign is for plebs,
H5 multiplayer is god tier

O'Connor being involved with this shit really hurts, he was my favorite on the podcast.
