Bount arc has the occasional good moment but it's mostly boring as fuck
Captain Amagai arc is really bad and the fights aren't even good enough to carry it
Zanpakuto Rebellion is pure kino, great fights, lore and character interactions but the second half is slower and more slice of life than the constant battles of the first half: it feels like it could be added to the main series with how it adds on to existing characters without feeling redundant
Reigai arc has some of the best animation in any Pierrot show, the fights are fun and again it feels like it could be canon but it suffers from uneven pacing

Coastal Highway is a silly mission on Legendary. But it's so visually and structurally kino that I'll forgive it. I just wish you didn't have to babysit the stupid Oliphant. And there should have been more forks/split roadsto take.

The Ar has a nice sound and feels good, best modern Halo Ar.
Covenant Carbine is present.
Scattershot is fun, bouncing shots off around a corner feels rewarding.
Needler isn't awful.
The stormrifle looks neat, wish it wasn't a plasma rifle replacement though and instead analogous to a covie Saw.
The mantis is okay.
there's a lot of cool stuff in h4 for firefight, especially with the turrets and buildable things in general.
the supressor sounds cool

Communities don't sustain generals here. Every general that has a general here, has one because there is enough engagement from randos to keep them from 404ing. Communities inevitably always just fuck off to their own little discord group because at the end of the day people like closed groups when it comes to people they actually spend time with.
See: Literally every /hg/ discord group. And once people have that, they don't need to use the thread anymore. The only ones yet to actually figure this out are the redcord people, but that's only because they're the newest. They'll eventually stop posting too, because that's just what always happens. Don't blame them, or Dank's group, or Sigmund's group, or the others (if you know, you know) for not keeping the thread alive, because at the end of the day they shouldn't have to. This place has probably set the record for artificially extended life on /vg/. So you can hang your hat on that, but at the end of the day, /hg/ is going to die just because not enough people care about Halo anymore. It's that simple.
We had a good run, but nothing lasts forever. If there was a promising new game coming out I'd say that could be cause to restart /hg/, but Campaign Evolved is not that game.

This is true, but some people got it stuck in their skulls that the purpose of a place like this is to facilitate lobbies and game nights. Lol no. It's just for discussion, and maybe halo-related shitposts. But like you said there's no more worthwhile discussion to be had.

>Because H2 gave Bungie trauma so everything after that is half assed shit.
This is a bit hyperbolic but nonetheless true
The "vision" and "heart" in their games became significantly compromised after H2.
H3 being as good as it is comes mostly from just polishing up the lessons learned in Halo CE and 2. It's not as ambitious a game as 2 was...
not by any measure....

Halo 3 was initially meant to be Halo 2's ending, and the ending of the franchise. This shit wasn't meant to go on forever or become a juggernaut IP with a billion entries like comic book universes, but that's what people wanted, so that's what microsoft pushed bungie to do.

Correct-ish.
>and the ending of the franchise
Wrong. Bungie liked to say a lot of nonsense in interviews since they never expected us to be able to fact check them with their own tools and storyboards.

Imagine Halo 2 with Bungie's original intended vision. There might not have even been a need for the Halo 3 we got. That Halo 3 would have actually been the real Halo 4, and would have been a Bungie game. Imagine fighting the Didact and his Prometheans designed by Bungie. Imagine a Halo 4 that looked and played like our current Halo 3 and was called Halo 3. It would have been even more ambitious and industry-defining.
And who knows what kind of cool tech wizadry they would have been up to. We might have even gotten rudimentary raytracing, or a precursor to it. If they had made the Halo 2 they actually wanted, they would have set their goals even higher for the next game, pushing the boundaries even more. Instead of dialing it back.

Blam is nothing impressive technically. The only stuff that is, is the proto-pbr in H3 which is entirely unused and that was only because they had access to MS resources which included ex-Pixar engineers.

They're not the Bungie you used to know, there's basically no one left from the old days, a lot of the people working there now weren't even born when CE was in development, to say nothing of Marathon.

It's got an MMO crackhead audience where the game is a lifestyle for them. I see them doing the same thing as WoW's playerbase.
>wow that expansion was shit fuck this game and the devs i quit
>*next expansion announcement*
>omg hype look they are listening i need to preorder the big goy edition
I played it during Witch Queen. Gameplay is pretty fucking slick but I don't have the time required to play another quasi-MMO.
Thank fuck I didn't get into it because I would have immediately gotten Lightfall'd.
