Shameless self bump

>No alternate universe games where Master Chief sacrifices himself on Reach while Noble team gets off, leading to a grand adventure with those 6

Why live?

It wasn't. Not only from a multiplayer balance standpoint, but it was also when Halo truly lost its identity to pander to CoD fans.

But I still had a ton of fun playing it and genuinely enjoyed the devs trying new things, even if the execution was lacking.

I'm still mad at how unbalanced the gun play was, yet the vehicle combat is probably the best in the series. Seriously, BTB was fun as fuck

But user, that goes against captain king being the chosen one part of the story.

Fix the achievements

Because it's not, it's one of the worst.

Big team assault and capture the flag were so fucking fun.

>DMR
No thanks. I fucking hate how every halo eventually turns into everyone spawning with a utility weapon and shooting pop shots from opposite ends of the map.

>implying any of those faggots from Noble Team were good characters instead shitty cliches

>*of

It's one of worst halo games ever because it wasn't on pc. Can't they just die holy shit the assholes at bungie

It was by far the best Halo, you could tell bungie put a lot of love into it.

I will miss it's glory days.

If they were made to be long term characters they'd be much better. If Chief had one game you'd say the same thing about him.

>capture the flag
I really enjoyed Stockpile

Invasion was objectively the most fun multiplayer of any game ever and so far. I don't care how unbalanced it was, it was fun as all fuck, every time. PC port fucking when.

why won't you pc port begging assholes just fuck off? what the hell is wrong with you?

>muh deep epic emotional story and characters
Shut up nigger and have some fun

Don't want to pay for online. Don't want to go downstairs to my old, shitty 360 just to play one series. Don't want to be limited to 30 FPS. Want to be able to mod the game, custom maps like Halo Custom Edition on Reach would be amazing.

Why do you need to shit up every single thing with it tho? Why can't you just discuss a video game without talking about that?

Fuck all developers and people who don't want/make pc ports. They should burn in hellfire

Because I want a PC port fuck you.

So you're a child then?

...

In Chief's first game he had more character than those cliche walking tropes.

How could I? Campaign was shit and so was the multiplayer.

>you could tell bungie put a lot of love into it
Nice joke

I miss Staten
I hate Smith

I miss Johnson and I miss Mendoza

You should hate Jason Jewns more than anyone since he's the reason Bungie is literally dead with nobody but him and Shiek still being there.

>Nice joke
Nice joke

Didn't most games start with ARs though? I remember having tons of fun killing DMR shitters with my godly Reach AR, and I never had to worry about picking up other guns.

>Best halo game
>Horrible campaign with shitty unlikable characters besides Noble 6
Bait/10

But user, that's not Halo Wars

Yes, most started with ARs or SMGs. The problem is that BR faggots always complain and matchmaking almost always gets changed to have precision weapons as starts.

You can't be serious

In addition to the shit multiplayer, the way this game shat on the great story of the book is unforgivable. They just made up 6 random new generic characters instead of using all the spartans that were literally on the planet at the time

Not to mention the PoA and cortana were already in fucking space because they were getting ready for the final mission of the spartans to capture a prophet, this retconned the whole space battle of MC and Johnson

That's why I stuck to gamemodes with AR starts, maybe a pistol. Invasion was basically all I played. I fucking wish another game would have a mode like that.

The campaign kind of sucked. Bloom kind of sucked, but i guess it was necessary to balance the DMR. The new weapons weren't fun to use.

Its a shame invasion hasnt been implemented into the later Halos, it would be great combined with warzone.

Halo 2 shits all over the lore from First Strike but I never see anyone complain about that.
Bloom was in all the games, they just visually showed it in Reach. And you can't have invasion in anything after Reach because 343i took out the ability to play as Sangheili for some reason.

>Custom spartan in all missions
>still has campaign theater
>every mode a Halo game needs
>Best art direction of any Halo game

>Best art direction
Only for humans. The covie designs were trash.

>Halo 2 shits all over the lore from First Strike but I never see anyone complain about that.
Not him but where at? Master Chief and Johnson make it back to Earth while Fred and Linda head somewhere else.

>the covie designs were trash
but still was miles better than nu-halo

Considering that it was the game that started the series decline you're factually wrong.

>Best art direction of any Halo game
Not even close

>nu
Into the trash it goes.

The thing is that in Reach they already had plenty of story opportunities and made shit up when it was completely unecessary

>bloom was in all the games

Now I know you're retarded

In First Strike the Covenant know the location of Earth and assemble a huge fleet of 500+ ships to attack. In Halo 2, Cortana says "they're surprised, confused. I don't think they expected us to be here. Not you and me, all of us. Humanity on Earth."
Literally go load up Halo CE and see what happens when you spam the pistol vs controlled shots.

H2A covie designs were better than Reach.

Also Fred, Will and Linda were on Earth in First Strike and one other book, maybe Ghosts of Onyx, just saying.

Default was AR + Pistol unless you played in the tryhard lists or had fags vote for DMRs.

>Halo Reach
>Covenant discovers what is clearly one of our most defended strongholds
>They send one supercarrier and it's just hovering right over the planet

For what purpose did Bungie castrate this event.

>This one aspect was better!

I mean overall, H2A's was better but it doesn't really count.

Fuck Reach's campaign. The only thing worse was Halo 5's, and 5 makes up for that by having objectively superior multiplayer to Reach.

shame he got so little screen time

Probably because a battle that took one day and mostly took place in space would be a pretty boring game.

Man they best rename that shit to GAYLO

>Those colors
Why did 343 have to make the series so bland? I kinda liked the shiny candy look they had in those beta sneak peaks, I'd prefer the classic look but it was at least colorful. Now the Spartans in Halo 5 look like they're all colored with shitty half expired deck paint because the lighting is fucked.

God, what I wouldn't give for Reach to have been about Red Team as they split up and try to prevent the planet from getting completely fucked.
>you will never hold out at the Super MAC generators with the rest of your Spartan bros in order to give the boys in orbit a fighting chance

Still my favourite.
Chilling about Mombassa Streets with that sweet sax music was the tits, but in hindsight the map was really really small.

They still did, only Regret didn't know and Truth purposely didn't tell him.

No, no it would not. If you got Reach's timeline right and actually made a campaign of it, it'd be 100% better than the actual campaign.

Still no official or fanmade Halo horror game with fixed camera angles where you play as an ODST trapped aboard the Mona Lisa.

The fleet in First Strike was a Brute led fleet under Truth, he discovered Earth via probe that tracked a ship which violated the Cole Protocol.

The fleet that arrives in Halo 2 is Regret's personal retinue who discovered the location of the Ark portal (not realizing it was humanity's homeworld) independently of Truth.

The two didn't share information due to political rivalry.

They all get different missions, H2A Terminals clear all of this up.

Right, because Halo Reach totally wasn't boring. Halo CE took place over the course of 2-3 days and it was infinitely more interesting.

I wouldn't mind the Spartan IIIs if their team was smaller and they were actually doing missions that had pay off instead of just being a UNSC special interest force that helps ONI on the side. Probably one of the best missions in the game was Exodus and that's because you were actually doing something that beared fruits, you saved a bunch of Civilian transports that were getting off the planet.

The whole game should have just been defensive deployments.

>Most experimental Halo game
>introduced armor lock, sprint, jet pack etc
>was unbalanced as fuck but still fun
>BTB
>MFW Invasion Spartans vs elites
Times were simpler back then

I still remember the fresh salt over armour lock when I was nary a wee boy back in 2010 at release.
I thought it was cool.

>Most experimental
That's ODST though.

Firefight was neat, but the gameplay was just a Halo 3 stathack.

It was their final fucking game and decide to do some horseshit experiment instead of just making a fucking Halo game and leaving. Bungie is the main reason Halo is where it is today because they fucked up the direction of Halo and left 343 wondering who the fuck Halo's audience is. I'm glad 343 is learning but seriously fuck Bungie, after Reach, I blacklisted their asses.

You guys do realize that Halo 5 forge and custom games can be played for free on PC, right?

SLIP SPACE RUPTURE DETECTED

Can't play as a Sangheili in 5.

>343i goes full CoD in Halo 4.
>But it's all Bungie's fault for including some armour abilities in Reach.

Yes it was their fault, guess what Halo game Halo 4 was built off of before Bungie made Halo Reach.

BTFO

So Bungie adds bloom and a single extra ability a player can choose. This excuses 343i for adding killstreak care packages, default sprint, join in progress, a loadout progression system, hitmarkers/grenade indicators, removing ambient weapons and powerups from maps and changing the scoring from kills to points?

All Bungie's fault.

No, but it fucked up their direction. If Bungie would have just made a Halo game then maybe Halo 4 would have been a Halo game. But no, Bungie had to fucking experiment in their last fucking Halo game!

343i engineered the (janky) zero bloom patch and reworked the armour abilities before Halo 4. They knew the issues some people had with Reach and developed a CoD clone anyway, not Bungie's fault.

True, that's all on them

You don't need elites to play invasion though, thats just visually thrown on.

Invasion is just BTB objective with stages at its core, it seems really easy to add and I wish they did.

I mean, the elites and spartans were quite different in Halo Reach. It was nice to have the variety.
Also I've been playing as an elite exclusively since Halo 2 came out, damnit. Fuck 343i for making me be a spartan again.

halo 4 and 5 are NOT halo games.

Halo Reach isn't a Halo game

still better than both 4 and 5, though.

drinking piss is better than eating poop but it doesn't make it taste good

4, yes. 5, no.

halo 5 is shit

Halo 5's campaign is garbage, it's multiplayer is objectively superior to every Halo that isn't 2 or 3.

That's like saying one shit taste better than another shit. They're both shit so does it really matter? Plus I ended up finding Halo 4's campaign to be decent and I like Halo 5's mp and Forge. I didn't like Halo Reach's campaign or mp and I somehow liked Halo 5's campaign over Reach's.

Bungie's last real game they ever made.

That was Halo 3

343 should have known better. Anyone could have seen the backlash that would come. 343 should have approached Halo 4 like The Coalition approached Gears 4. Add little things to the formula that don't actually massively shift the formula to being a completely different game. Add new things to the art style, but keep in the originals as well. That way if people don't like the new Lancer you can just use the old one.

Halo 5 and reach are like fallout 4. Good on their own merit, but not worthy/quite similar enough to be called Halo. 4 is just bad

>Plus I ended up finding Halo 4's campaign to be decent

You liked the bullet sponge bionicles and the bland-ass rule of 3 level design?

4 would have had an alright campaign if they didn't shove the forerunner shit in there. As much as I didn't like the execution of some of the Cortana shit it clearly had alot of heart put into it since the directors mother was suffering from dementia and he basically had to write the same thing with Cortana at the same time. The forerunner shit is where Halo 4s campaign goes to shit.

>Everyone shits on Reach
>I enjoyed it far more than Evolved, 2, 3 and ODST

>All the enemies were super detailed, and spoke an actual alien language for once

>I loved the DMR and DMR matches

>>People whine endlessly about the variations of multiplayer games, the customization and the best iteration of Firefight

>WAAAAH BUH MULTIPWAYUH POWAH-UPS

>People ITT unironically think that Reach's campaign wasn't the best campaign.

I hate you all, sincerely. Master Chiefs story was fucking boring and the Flood were always tedious bullshit.

Fuck all of you.

>Halo 3
>over ODST & Reach
GTFO underage fag.

I agree

I found it better than Firefight the game because that's what Reach's boring ass bland ass campaign was.
