The rumor mill is that you're literally getting the Reach Elites though, except instead of with the 4 skins, it's the infinite skins.
Why they dis this is beyond me. Not sure why they didn't just port the Infinite AI over entirely at that point.

Slipspace is a complete mess, and nobody that worked on it is even there still lol.
Reach Blam is the most complete out of the box DIY engine left over from the Bungie days. Indian contractors can scrape together a remake with it. Asking them to use slipspace would be a disaster in the making.

It's important to have the correct mindset about campaign v multiplayer. That being that a true Halo game is an online multiplayer experience first and foremost.
I'd be perfectly fine with the CE remake having firefight or some other PvE mode as its "campaign" offering for this reason.
Halo CE/1 had its campaign thrown together and finalized few months of development for the same reason any story was in a shooter at the time, it was just expected to be there. The multiplayer WAS the game, and the single player was extra. Now, it did turn out to be really good and pretty addicting, but it's important to understand that this existed in mostly a pre-Xbox Live atmosphere. Yes, there was split screen co-op, but that is not representative of the average Halo CE multiplayer session.
Halo 2, or really rather Xbox Live, corrected this, and set the accepted standard of Halo multiplayer being the face of the series. It was the most pivotal point in Halo's history, but it stuck, even as CoD 4 and onwards drained the popularity 3 years later.

tl;dr
A PVP-only game is sorely needed at this point to correct this wrongdoing and artificial ballooning of Halo's story to be its core identity.

Doesn't COD have its own issues? Even CODfags can't catch a break. I just want a new sci-fi first-person shooter game that comes with pvp and pve options. Seems like a thing in the past, though. Only triple-A studios have the budget for it, but they prefer to specialize in one thing nowadays and play it safe with social features.
>>
>>555543268
>Doesn't COD have its own issues?
In the 2020s? Sure. But the cultural dominance of Call of Duty during the 2010s was so overwhelming that Halo's influence on the industry completely disappeared. Besides the obvious elements Call of Duty adopted like 2 weapons limit and regenerating health.

>>
>>555543795
For sure.
CoD is the reason Halo fell significantly from cultural juggernaut status.
Microsoft and 343i are the reason Halo became more or less irrelevant.
For the record, Reach, a bungie game, also did some damage, though it was dwarfed by the two more serious offenders already mentioned.
Despite all of this, Halo really has gotten more chances than any series should have. MCC really should have been the "last straw" but Halo had a very passionate and loyal fanbase of support that stuck around for 5 and even later Infinite's launch, but it feels like that was finally the bridge too far.
It feels like almost everyone has moved on now, and those that aren't went back to MCC for the most part, but M$ seems content leaving that game to die in favor of focusing on a new Halo for a new generation that ironically already seems DOA.
>>
>>555543638
Outside of the opening battle, I always thought Silent Cartographer was kind of boring. It has a lot of down time. Assault on the Control Room is a much more interesting mission with more variety and faster pace. In fact, it might be the best mission in the game. Going back through it fighting the Flood is also very memorable. It has the best recycled mission/map.
>>
>>555544285
Looks more like Titanfall than anything.
>>
>>555543638
For me, it's Truth and Reconciliation, I dread that mission like no other, even The Library is preferable to it because at least the corridors are large.

I think anyone who enjoys Halo enough to do that (and has the resources) would rather just use the Halo IP. Change too many things and it just wouldn't be Halo enough for them. And that's aside from the skill it would take to make something that feels comparable enough to Halo.

I still think it's really funny that Call of Duty utterly broke this series. The moment it wasn't #1 on Xbox it shat itself and immediately entered the "we must copy trends right now!!!!" phase.

It's even funnier since Halo set the trend that made CoD popular

Killstreaks.
It's not that surprising that Halo got it's back blown out for the general dudebro audience by this. Plus the guns just flat out feeling better than 3's mostly anemic feeling weapons didn't help matters.
>>
>>555552214
>tangible
You have a loose definition for tangible
>>
>kick back and get a kill with 1 or 2 well-placed shots
>the effort to kill just 1 person with energy shields
No surprised one formula would be more popular once production values were high enough. Most of Bungie wasn't even focused on multiplayer nor believed in it, much less creating the most widely appealing thing possible.
I daresay anyone wishing to do so would never create a game that is firmly set in futuristic sci-fi. It will always be less relatable than a modern setting and technology. Even in CoD this has proven true.
>I wanted to make sure that fans know that we did Halo because we wanted to do Halo
With that said I certainly wouldn't mind a Halo campaign that really drives home what it's like to be a soldier/Spartan in a realistic way, but I need to see plasma melting and igniting things, it can't stop short at human weapon mechanics.

>>555704926
We always get Halo 2 at least twice on game nights.
>>
>>555704926
if it's 8v8 we will find a match
4v4 is where CE and 2C get tricky or impossible, and then when you do find a game it's against the same group of 4 ultra sweats that never walked away from the game when the servers went down back in the day.
But on a Friday night it shouldn't be an issue for 8v8 at least.
>>
>>555707616
4v4 Halo CE and 2 are arguably easier to find games than 8v8.
>>
>>555701478
Everyone will tell you it's because they hated the Nylund books, and that's partially true, they came to like them years later, as evidenced by the fact that Reach is one big Ghosts of Onyx reference. The actual reason was that they didn't really care about Halo's narrative consistency by the time they were making Reach, they'd been trying to get away from Microsoft for years because they wanted to do something new (Destiny).

Much as I enjoyed FoR it was definitely worth changing some things like it being the first time Elites were deployed en masse.
Besides, just change some rather unimportant dates around and you can have both FoR and HR working together.
On a technical note, that awesome battle at the generator complex was just too much for the engine at the time so that's another reason they did what they did with Noble Team.
Fortunately they did preserve that sequence through the in-game radio conversations - always a fun one to go back and listen to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7wuBwVlbAc&t=668s

I'm not even a lorefag autist. I can accept Chief's armor looking different without an in-universe explanation, but that bomb was a 30-40 megaton nuke. How the fuck did she protect him?
I'm asking AI this for the first time now as I type this and apparently she "utilized the ship's translocation grid to create a hardlight shield around him"
Uh... okay...? Even if I grant that, he was literally touching it when it blew.
>>
>>555749780
kek
>>
>>555749872
There's also the issue with that bomb not being very powerful in general relative to what else the UNSC can muster up in the 26th century.
Chief and Cortana disable the giant Metapod's shield and Laskey hits it with the Infinity's (which is a forerunner tech hybrid ship) primary firing beam, and does a tiny dent.
But apparently detonating that bomb inside blows the whole thing to smithereens.
>>
>>555750441
The durability of Forerunner structures is one of the least consistent things in the series. They pretty much bend and break but otherwise stay unscratchable to the tune of what the plot demands in the moment.
I've always found it weird that the POA was able to even destroy Halo at all. It feels like based on that, a small fleet of covenant or human ships could take out a Halo ring with ease, but then at other times the plot really does showcase the forerunner architecture as being durable to the tune of what you would expect for a civilization over 100,000 years more advanced than the Covenant even are. In Infinite they even make it a point to say how big of a deal it is that the Banished were able to create a laser that can cut through the hexagon walls, and it's implied they needed the Harbinger's help to do that. But one game earlier in Halo Wars 2, a simple gassing beam poses enough of a threat to the Halo ring that the rings entire Sentinel defense force has to kamikaze that carrier to death.
>>

I actually never thought of it this way but if we take everything canon at face value, we have this weird rock/paper/scissors where the Guardians were powerful enough to subdue entire civilizations, but not the flood, so they made the Halo rings instead, which can be destroyed by humans that are still relying on gas and atomic based weaponry.

Do you have to be good at halo to play with the /hg/ homies? I’m terrible now and I rarely find a casual game, it’s always people who are really good
>>
>>555751228
Many things are built like that: outer layer way more durable to anything hitting from that direction, but complex systems inside being far more vulnerable. Ideally, a threat isn't supposed to get in that position to begin with. Plus all the power systems of Halo itself going haywire and adding to the damage of the explosion.
As for the Ark if the Forerunners could make super materials that mimicked nature while being just as tough as the strongest Forerunner alloys they'd likely still be around, but that's a whole other level of technology.
It's amazing what they accomplished under pressure and with limited time and it can be likened to how we sometimes create cures/vaccines for a rapidly spreading illness. To people hundreds of years ago it would seem ridiculously advanced, but it's still not the pinnacle of technology.
There's a case to be made for Forerunner structures having a lock-down mode that closes doors/panels of their most advanced alloy over everything vulnerable when a threat arises, but ideally nothing is supposed to get into position to exploit the lack of that feature to begin with.
Even with such a feature, like much protective technology that exists today, certain systems remain vulnerable to impact and various forms of energy even if the casing around them holds just fine.
Speaking Halo Ring capabilities why didn't Cortana just eject Atriox like Anders did to a whole division of Banished in Halo Wars 2? No Sentinels at all to burn his mongrel hide? Odd.

It doesn't matter who you hang out with, it's well known that the NFL has a stranglehold on gen Z males, especially through short form content more so than millenials, so you might not notice all of them always watching every full game because of the way they engage with it, but literally over half of them are invested in it which is crazy

>>555787849
>I hope 343 releases a prequel that shows that Sgt. Johnson was gay the whole time.
I honestly wouldn't put it past them to do that.

>>555807623
That guy arguing against you was relying on bad anecdotal evidence, assuming he wasn't just lying. He said two of his friends were alcoholics, which is far less common for gen Z, and he also said almost none were college students, which is so far outside of the norm that he would have to be in a pretty specific niche to not know many.

Whenever you see a poll with a percentage result, you have to ask how many respondants there were and where they lived, otherwise you fall for stupid bullshit like 12 people in an NFL club being polled and the faggots in charge of the poll extrapolate the results out without a care in the world.

Honestly it's whatever. I think the bigger issue for gen Z as it related to something like Halo is how little people care about playing games that they discover and more about people playing games that they feel they have to because it's the thing to play. And I wish I could say this has always been a thing, but not really, at least not to the same extent

Everybody is stuck on Unreal or Unity and don’t want to make their own engine. What few copycats and fan games that have existed all feel like shit because unreal is not a good platform for Halo. It doesn’t necessarily have to be on the blam engine but that clearly makes a difference.

Those would be better than unreal. If someone wanted to make halo clone on a budget I would recommend the torque engine which was made for Tribes 2. Halo at its core is really slow Tribes so it would be a perfect fit.

While it's true the original slipspace engine was dropped after development hell, neo slipspace is still a chimera hybrid of blam and what they were going for, so as a result it feels and acts different than any other Halo.
This is despite it playing more similar to 3 than 5 did, but 5 is still more of a Halo engine under the hood.

I'm fine with other colors and loadouts when some deeper/tactical context is behind it. Marines/ODSTs becoming IVs and just brightly coloring their armor is too far for in-universe stuff. Wasn't the biggest fan of campaign IVs in 4 but at least their scheme was darker colors and unified, similar story with Majestic in Spartan Ops.

343-era will get more blame because Reach was already the fair chance for a lot of things and instead of undoing a lot of it, those who came after pushed elements of Reach that people were critical of even further, or introduced something worse. And it wasn't some spin-off set in the past, they did it with what was supposed to be the next step forward for Halo.

Reach was bad, but it could still be made to play pretty much like a regular Halo game after the TU. 4 simply had too much shit that was either cumbersome to remove or couldn't be changed.

>>
>>556015804
It makes sense for Noble's armor colors to be all mismatched because only Kat and Carter are original members of that team. And their armor matches.
>>
>>556019548
I believe the phrasing used in one Reach ViDoc was "party games" for modes that really ditched a lot of the fundamentals (the racing mode was an example).
It was all too feasible to bring non-ability gameplay back to the spotlight and still have variant modes with abilities + inclusion in Forge/Customs. Truly could've had it all.
Instead effort was put into SpOps? Making more abilities and designing the game around having 2 at once? Shame. Curious to see what balance Pierre or whoever is studio head now strikes.
>>
>>556019843
Yeah, even a no sprint playlist in 4 would have gone a long way for the general public. We wouldn't have had to be hidden away in customs all day to play a better version of the game.
Halo 4 already had a lot of variety in things you could do with it, but so much of it was locked behind inaccessible options. Everything the perks could modify was a player trait, and they could be modified to any value you wanted.
It's a shame that full gametype modding didn't really exist until somewhat recently, because both Reach and 4 had a ton of potential for what you could do with them.
>>
>>556019646
Interesting way to look at it. Police, Navy, UN, all examples of using blue. For me I figured they were allowed it after surviving what they did as S-IIIs - a sort of morale thing. I think I lifted that reasoning from Republic Commando. On the other hand, much as I like my purples I'd find that a tad much for a Spartan in-universe. Perhaps an extremely dark purple but even then I'd rather than be an alien armor color.
>>
>>556020296
The reception to a non-ability mode introduced late into 5 when it was "dead" may have been part of why they toned down abilities for Infinite.
I remember being surprised by how much attention Mythic Slayer was getting despite 5's state at the time. https://blazedillon.artstation.com/projects/oOVPJL
>>
why wont they just make halo
>>
>>556020367
Noble team is all mismatched, but for the most part their colors make sense for their individual roles(aside from Jorge, but who knows what he was doing).
I don't even dislike Majestic, because while the armor itself didn't match, their colors did. It probably helps that Majestic used the least offensive armor designs in that game. You could look at them and know they were meant to be a unit. Blue is not a terrible uniform color. It just got really dumb in 5, where there was no consistency even within each team.
>>
>>556020658
I'm friends with some of the people who worked on that, and they tried to do something similar in Infinite but never got anything off the ground due to lack of interest. I never really played it myself because I was done with Halo at that time and didn't care for BR starts.
>>
>>556020726
It really is as simple as offering what people expect from Bungie-era at launch, keeping the stranger stuff in separate stuff on the side, and any crazy new experiment comes after launch instead of having major, expected features come after launch in some desperate "Look guys! Halo!" ploy.

If you want to know why Reach gets excluded from the "ugh game x ruined Halo" discussions so frequently it's because the fanbase is dominated heavily by "when I was 8 I came home from school and played Reach" types.
The endlessly jerking off of Reach in Infinite wasn't for no reason, because I guess that Reach thing they did for 5 was really popular on their metrics.

Reach launching in a far more acceptable state than any FPS Halo after it helps + being a prequel. If 343 had just been making spin-offs and side-stories people would have complaints, but messing up with the next big chapter with Chief at the center is on a whole other level.
>>
>>556026773
I'm not sure why they ever thought that was a possibility. That was fucking prime "MS has their fingers in everything and charges out the ass for certification" days for the 360.
>>
>>556026943
the funny thing is up until the last line is actually pretty accurate.
>>
>>556027084
Nah, there are unironically people who sing 4's praises and thought 5 had good ideas. Hard to tell if it's just bait, but you never know. The cycle will be sort of broken with Campaign Evolved because it won't have multiplayer.
>>
>>556027084
the original image only went up to the line you're describing, that being said, outside of 4 being seen as peak, the last line is unironically correct even now. People mass apologize for 5 all the time and Infinite is shat on constantly as the game that killed Halo

>Defend Reach
I don't view Reach as a "successor" to Halo 3 the same way Halo 3 is for 2. If I did, I would have nothing to really defend because I pretty much see it as an inferior product almost entirely across the board in a beat for beat kind of comparison.
What I will say is I appreciate how Reach multiplayer is different rather than just the upgraded version. I like the arcadey feel Reach games inherently spiral down into as a break from the more structured Halo 3 match progression. Variety is the spice of life and in that sense Reach has a place in the series I can appreciate.
For this same reason, I do support 5 being added to MCC (yes I know it will never happen but still)
>>
>>556027070
The thought process was probably that they already allowed Forge to exist. It could have been theoretically feasible with some kind of certification on Bungie/Microsoft's end that prevented gametypes from having "Nigger" spammed on the killfeed.
Bungie and 343 never made much use of it, either. We got Chess, a couple of Action Sack modes, and 343 made Freeze Tag/Gun Game for MCC, and nothing else outside of that.

No need even Marcus is on record for saying it didn't age the best in terms of gameplay

>>556027771
I don't care what Marcus thinks.

>>556027084
There are people that jerk off H5 and then claim that Infinite is basically satan incarnate.
They've yet to successfully answer the "if H5 was so good why did 343i utterly wipe their hands of it in artstyle, gameplay and plot?" question though.

>>556027863
It is to the Halo series what Fiesta, Race, Oddball and other "party games" are: nice to have for variety but obviously not a model for the future of Halo.
>>
>>556027330
Reach is absolutely a Halo 3 sequel in terms of gameplay.
>>
>>556028675
Oddball is Halo's best objective mode.
>>
>>556028887
only if the skull has physics
>>
>>556030587
It's always had physics.
Oddball sucked in Reach because of the anti-respawn zone the ball created.
>>
>>556026943
The reality is there are groups of CEfags, 2fags, 3fags, ODSTfags and Reachfags within the halo community. They bicker and fight over which is best within this large community. This makes up 95% of the fanbase. You notice each of them when it is convenient for you to headcanon this image. The fanbase for 343 games is small, loathed by everyone else and divided. You also notice them when convenient for your headcanon image to be “true”

proximity chat will save halo demake
>>
>>556031838
That is simply the nature of a franchise that changes up a large portion of the core gameplay with each release.
>>
>>556026195
similar to >>556027330 but I'll actually go further and straight up defend it on its own merits.
Halo was a party game, and Halo 2 and 3 slowly slipped away from this.
Reach corrected that.
Yes, there are bullshit encounters that play out due to weird damage table rules, heavy RNG as a result of bloom and Armor Lock, and straight up borderline irrelevant weapons like the plasma repeater and focus rifle. That's Halo, or at least, it was originally, then Reach brought it back.
>>
>>556028675
>>556034926
these are correct
>>
>>556028789
and like a proper sequel, it does not deem the former installment ireelevant
>>
CE will never be the best game no matter how much you fools try to force it

You're wrong, but at least you called it CE.

I'm not sure I could call indestructible vehicles in multiplayer the best form of BTB but I sure did enjoy the unique challenge that came with that, especially when Banshees and Rocket Hogs were thrown into the mix.

If Battlefront II came out today, it would be patched to oblivion and back.
Yes, Felucia is literally vietnam for the CIS
Yes, Polis Massa has broken spawn points that heavily favor the Droids
Yes, you can exploit mines and rockets to no end
It's it's fun

You'd think with how many indie games go viral due to proximity chat memes, more AAA devs would implement this feature again, but no.
>>
>>556048313
They are doing better than viral. They are appealing to a broader audience. Proximity chat introduces toxicity.

This is besides the point because nobody in any significant number wants to use proximity chat.
