protip: can't prove me wrong

Halo 1 is only balanced, because everyone uses the same gun 90% of the time.

>no one uses shotty
>no one uses rockets
>no one uses rod
>no one uses flamethrower
>no one uses AR as a useful secondary to finish off kills at close range.

Everything is balanced, I just played a game and used pistol/shotty/rockets.

campaign

3>1>2>Reach>4>5

fps on consoles are irrelevant

Sorry noob but pistol is the only good gun.

Niggas start with pistol though.
There's no reason to go for other guns on purpose, they're just a nice bonus.

>tfw you will never have xbox hueg lan parties with your friends during your summer break playing halo 1 ever again

>esports on console when the game is also on PC
Why is this allowed? Is it like the retard league?

Halo 2 had best balance.
Shit that was more powerful was generally harder to get to.
Halo 3 would compete for the spot except the energy sword and general melee/netcode system is pure autism

Halo 2 and Halo 3 lose balance points because they had dual wielding, which made 50% of all weapons useless

The games will always be balanced because there aren't loadouts. Powerweapons like rockets and shotgun are in the middle of the maps as well.

I mistook the thumbnail for Perfect Dark and this started playing in my head

Halo 2 had the niftiest glitches too.

I miss those days

Autism.
On PC power weapons destroy pistol, on MCC gametypes don't have a lot of weapons and theyre still useful like shotgun and rockets on hang em high. You can get a kill with the shotgun from 10 feet away with 2 shots, if you're not a noob like the guy I replied to above me. Also, rockets can blast 3 people at once if you place it correctly, instant triple.

catchy, reminds me of Nightfire

Needlers are terrifying weapons in-universe

To be fair that wasn't the console's fault. He just has really shit aim.

They are power weapons though. Obviously they will have use. But the standard weapons see little to no use when compared to the pistol, except in campaign. For the standard weapons, all weapons are underpowered severely when compared to the utility weapon. (Pistol/Br/dmr.) It's been like this for all game, but to a much lesser extent in halo 5. Hell, in halo 5 pros wanted to nerf the ar because it actually had a place in the sandbox.

Will halo ever be good again?

There's a possibility with Halo 6.

6: 27 talks about the Master Chief, players as the Chief, and Cortana as Chief's partner (most likely a hint that old Cortana will return to merge her evil self back with her to become whole again and go back to Halo 1-4 Chief and Cortana adventures). 17:44 talks about the future of Halo's story and split screen returning.

Frank talks about how Halo 6 and beyond when it comes to mainline Halo games will stick with the Chief for now on and he talks about sidelining Blue Team and Osiris in the next game (I can see them being put in spin-offs and books now). Frank also talks about taking a step back on the campaign this tells us they are returning to the Halo 1-4 type campaign and dropping the squad gameplay.

Ske7ch343 (Brian Jarrard) confirms black under suits for Halo 6.

I-I liked blue team though
>That moment where Linda instinctively steps forward to shield Chief from evil Cortana

>when you time your needlers just right so they fire just after each other instead of in pairs so it sounds much cooler

That's Hang Em' High, right? I loved that level. That and Headlong are my two favorite multiplayer maps.

>Halo 3 becomes backwards compatible on Xbone with crossplay between Bone and 360
>people in this thread aren't making streaming youtubers raging butthurt, then send a coordinated message as a group to make them madder

They had one fucking job and they couldn't do it right. Why the fuck would 343 let that faggot Reed write the story. It hurts even worse that the game was originally going to be about Chief, Blue Team, and Halsey's relationship. This interview under my comment shows just why that faggot Brian Reed got fired.

Brian Reed: "No – if anything it was a goal. Halo has been around for 12 years now, and has been really healthy and really good with just Master Chief and Cortana as our identifiable heroes, but it was time to let the universe grow. Fans of the novels and the comics and the live action stuff all know that there’s a lot of other stories going on in Halo, but we’ve very rarely seen them in the game – Reach and ODST were as close as we got. This was an opportunity to make the pool a little deeper, and give us a few more characters. I’ve said it multiple times that my goal all through Halo 5 was: you need to be able to come out with your favourite Spartan. If you can go into it going ‘I really like Master Chief’, and you come out going ‘Man I still like Master Chief, he’s still awesome, but I wanna know more about Spartan Vale… I wanna have another adventure with Spartan Buck’ – that was our goal here.""

FUCK YOU BRIAN REED, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU, FUCK YOU! I'm glad your sorry ass got fired.

...

I would rather have adventures with ODST Buck instead of Spartan Buck tbqh senpai

Objectively correct

wew

>Spartan Vale
>Spartan Buck

>Sup Forums loves the Arbiter and his role in the story
>Sup Forums hates the Spartan IVs for the same reasons they like the Arbiter
??

zaz

They need to end halo desu

None of that seems inherently bad though.

I question this myself, I hated both.

>Caring about the balance in a Halo game
>Not just fucking playing it
You don't understand Halo, or video games in general for that matter.

Would the IVs have been better received if they hadn't been hyped up to be "just as good in armor as the IIs despite not having nearly as much training or augmentations because their armor carries them LMAO?" If they had real performance drawbacks due to being mass-produced models?

If they just played the same as IIs but didn't have the lore stuff of "can run 40kmph" and none of the cutscene crap like the start of 5, people would have liked them more.
Basically just make them front-line assault ODSTs.

>SIVs
>Get energy shields
>Get enhanced strength, running/jumping
>DO NOT GET: nuthin personnel infinite reaction times, ability to move limbs at speeds that would rip your skeleton in half, built-in night vision, out-of-armor super strength, extra-durable bones, etc.
Basically just a powered exoskeleton that gives you shields and lets you lift more. The price of not requiring chemical/surgical augments to work the suit. Yes?

Sounds fine. Basically iron man suits without the ability to fly.

But without the plot armor that gives Iron Man's suit infinite HP.
>SIV armor looks more like a suped-up version of ODST armor than a full-on successor to the MJOLNIR suit

Started with Halo 2 (in 2006 I think?)

Still 100% agree. Perfect marriage of all the mechanics and I really dislike the inclusion of melee lunge to be honest.

>swords have a scope on them now
>it increases lunge range
Such a stupid idea.

The whole "golden triangle" idea Bungie had about making grenades, bullets and melee equal was fucking stupid. Guns should always be the focus in a shooter, with explosives and beatdowns being finishers or situational damage dealers.

1 > ODST > Reach > 3 > 5 > 2 > 4

The campaign means a lot to me.

How, exactly, are you supposed to amplify force in someone's limbs without forcing the limb to move so fast it breaks it?

I liked 2's campaign, are you ranking it that low just because its Legendary is borderline impossible?

>Halo 2's legendary is borderline impossible
git gud

In Halo 4 they actually WERE different iirc, and I was starting to get used to their presence in the series.

There were differences, like their aim was very bad, and they had slow reactions and they staggered more from damage, etc. They were exactly what you expected; shielded marines essentially.

But Halo 5 fucked that up too. 343 doesn't even let you get used to shit from Halo 4 either. They change things almost obsessively.

that aimbot

I like the idea of nu-humanity outfitting their soldiers similarly to the Elites, in that how badass you are directly relates to how much energy shielding and how advanced your suit is. The grunts are basically just shielded marines who can lift a few dozen-hundred more pounds than a human would be able to without their armor. The ultimate operators are given full MJOLNIR

>campaign means a lot to me
>the game that introduced playing as an elite (!) in a covenant world is ranked second to last

i think you might have only played halo 5, user.

What was the visualiser for anyway?

What is the canon difficulty?

lol

Me too

campaign:
Halo 3 > Halo CE > Halo 2 > Halo 4 > Halo 5

Halo 3 had one of the worst weapon sandboxes. Fuck that shit BR.

I used to play Halo 1 PC all the time. I got so fucking good at CTF on Blood Gulch, smooth drifting the warthog seemlessly into the back entrance of the enemy base, popping out the drivers seat to get the flag and pop back into the hog, and then driving back out before they even realized I was gone, then driving through the side paths on the cliff to avoid damage

>that fist bump
christ

Heroic

>The campaign means a lot to me.
>5 better than anything
WHAAAAAAA

This.
If 5 was just Blue, and a mad race against a nutty blue chick, it could have been good

>and a mad race against a nutty blue chick
No, everything about Cortana turning evil was dumb

1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>all the others

The first Halo was the only good Halo.

I mean, I agree, but compromises and all that and it seems that they really wanted to try their hand at yet ANOTHER AI gone off the reservation story.

multiplayer
2=5>3=1>4

story
2>1>3>4>5

truth.

>survive

No, sir.

>everything about Cortana turning evil was dumb
But it's pretty much been established from the beginning of the series that smart AI's go crazy after a certain amount of time.

There are many ways to go crazy, and PURGE ALL MEATBAGS (EXCEPT CAPTAIN KING PLS NOTICE ME SENPAI) is the lamest of all of them

Not him but to try to fix this mistake in Halo 6 I can see 343 bringing in good Cortana (the humanity she lost) to merge with Halo 5 Cortana turning her back to normal in the game that way Halo could return to Master Chief and Cortana's adventures in space.

And thus making Halo 5 pointless

>Halo CE
>balanced

It's my favorite in the series, and it isn't balanced at all. Multiplayer is just who can three shot each other with the pistol better, with some rocks and snipe mixed in.

Exactly, a final gift to the piece of shit known as Brian Reed.

>5>3

hitscan fuckfest with boosting sliding cunts around perfectly made competitive(tm) maps is sooo fun

Why is the Plasma Rifle such shit?
