So just how bad is it?

So just how bad is it?

Can grab it for free on my game pass trial but if it's really as fucked up with micro transactions and shit story as I've heard I don't want to soil my memory of halo any further.

Hating it is a reddo meme. Best one since 3.

I really really liked reach as long as I ignore most of the armor abilities.

Is there anything unlockable that you can't just swipe your credit card for? I like having something to show I actually played the game.

The microtransactions only apply to warzone and nobody plays that. Arena is fair game.

ehhh no it's shit.
Fuck 343

I'm just fucking with you. I've never played any Halo.

Sweet. Will probably play through it this week then.

If it sucks I just uninstall and go back to endless custom games on reach I guess.

The single player is more or less a complete waste of time other then a few good missions.

The multiplayer is surprisingly good.

The forge/customs are god tier

Hello reddo

If you ever play it don't judge it by the halo 1 campaign. Shit gets really weird in the middle with endless corridors of samey enemies.

There is a custom games browser on H5. Tons of lobbies are always open to join.

it's trash but I'm sort of shocked that you could get to almost 2018 without having it if you're an Xbox One owner.

I wouldn't say it's the best one since 3 but it's definitely not as bad as people say it is.
The story was a bit off but I'd be interested to see how they follow it up if they do follow it up officially in a game and not in a comic like the Didact.
The gameplay was fantastic and the guns felt really punchy.
It feels like there will be a long wait for Halo 6 though since it seems they're trying to work out what to do.
343 seems to be pretty quiet.

Sounds p gud.
I've been away from home for close to 2 years. I actually thought there would be a lot more cool shit to come back to. Seems to mostly be the same franchises but another fucking sequel. See: assassins creed 17

Campaign is mediocre, multiplayer is great, custom games is the peak in the series. Take your pick.

It would be pretty revolutionary and great if they just decided to not make a sequel and instead blow our minds with some new amazing series.

I guess that could be said about a shitton of companies at this point though.

Does the multiplayer feel like CoD, in the same way halo 4 did?

Fucking hated halo 4 multiplayer.

>It would be pretty revolutionary and great if they just decided to not make a sequel and instead blow our minds with some new amazing series.
I'd hope they'd at least wrap it up.
The Coalition is the same. No doubt we're going to get nothing but Gears from them but they were originally set up to create new IP. It's a shame we're getting so many sequels.
Microsoft just needs to stick with making a studio with a purpose and keeping it to that purpose.
If they wanted to make a new Gears game then make a studio to make Gears games, don't scrap a new project for a sequel.

Friendly reminder that Brian Reed (Guy who wrote H5's shit story) was fired from 343.

Campaign was bad, multiplayer was great, didn't have split screen or lan but still better than Reach. Fuck

1/2

BUNGIE!

2/2

There are some aspects that might look like CoD on the surface but after you actually start playing, you'll notice it plays nothing like it. If Reach/4 are on one side leaning closer to CoD and 1-3 are on the other side with a more "classic" feel, Halo 5 would be somewhere in the middle.

Best halo MP. Mediocre campaign.

It's a shame that Bungie lost a lot of heart for Halo.

I hope Halo 6 is good but it does seem like they are finally learning for Halo's future, we'll see how that turns out.

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 possibly through Halsey dealing with her evil self, bringing the series 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 undersuits for Halo 6.

The flood weren't stopped in Halo Wars 2 and could play a big factor in Halo 6 and beyond.

The Didact was composed and can come back, Sharquois are a thing now along with Retriver Sentinels, and War Sphinx and could play a part in Halo 6.

It really is, ODST was the last of old Bungie, still had their funny jokes, still used the Marathon symbol, still had the look of Halo, after that you could tell by Reach that old Bungie was dead and gone.

That's a lot of good info, I'll add it to my bookmarks to go through.
I just hope they explain one line that annoyed me in Halo 5.
"The Warden isn't a construct but I thought you knew that." or something along those lines.

Halo 1 had bland indoor levels and backtracking by the end but the introduction to the flood was top touch.

I only played the beta because I'm not buying that shit, but it plays exactly like Halo 4 except with even more innate "abilities" to pander to casuals like climbing and boosting and shit, with trash maps that are essentially all tiny, symmetric flat arena's with a few barely textured cubes sticking up as lazy excuse for cover. It's barely a real FPS

I hope that's explained as well. I really wanted the game to be a Chief game. What the Warden said to Chief interested me, "She knows your forgotten name, who you were before you were 117." along with "Your time has passed, Warrior-Servant. Your battle fought and done.". I really want to know what Warden meant by these in Halo 6 along with what the other gifts the Librarian was talking about in Halo 4. Osiris was a mistake.

using the reddit meme won't save your shit fanfic of a game. 343 is a joke, only the children who got in at 4 or 5 try to say otherwise

Not him but I would take 4 and 5 over Reach any day. See

already read the full article when it came out, says a lot that reach still managed to have a better campaign than 4 or 5

No, it really didn't.
