I really hope so. So many games these days fail to deliver a lasting content. Bunch of 30 second gums coming out. Especially when it comes to maintaining a community.

Halo Legends is so loving god awful. The only half decent one is the Arbiter and it's ruined by slopping a lovely filter over it.

I can't describe how objectively awful that short movie collection is. It blows my mind grown human beings genuinely like it.

Yes.

The general idea was good, about powerful people using religion/politics perverting the past to their own ends.

But when the best you have out of 7 stories is one general idea then your film compilation is pretty poo poo.

It's actually probably still the best armor in the UNSC, seeing as the Spartan II stuff was no-spared expense, while the Spartan IV's are still on a budget.

I thought it would be neat if his immunity to the composer wasn't perfect, and he ended up with his body melted and his mind absorbed into the suit. If only because we then never need to worry about what he looks like again. The chief's "face" has been that visor pretty much always, so why not make it that way permanently? Also would have mirrored Cortana's becoming more emotional and weird with him becoming more machine-like.

One of Lord Zedd's friends got a segment from a Halo 3 single player campaign level and turned it into a multiplayer map. It's super cool.

If they do the halo 2 remake I will start playing again. Why even make Halo 5 when everyone is just going to compare Halo 5 to Halo 2's 4 v 4s?

Halo:CE never had online if you don't count gamespy arcade/xbconnect. I don't care if they patch glitches because that poo poo was still fun before we knew how to double shot, fast reload, bxr, or backpack reload with a grenade off host. It wouldn't have those awesome glitch moments (that actually took skill and were a risk to use) but it'd still have plenty of other poo poo to make it fun. If you took all the pros who would come back for that game then you'd actually have a decent player base to watch again and further develop metagame bullshit.

I was so freakishly good at H2 you guys would probably think it was a different game. Imagine how I used to get 30+ kills in 4 v 4 team slayer with goons every time while intoxicated in Halo 3. I actually played halo 2 to be the best as possible and played sober the whole time. The poo poo I used to pull in H3 is nothing compared to how many pros I would beat by doing ridiculous poo poo. This game coming out will basically decide if the pro halo community completely dies or not. I'd seriously start going to MLG again and assembling a team the second that game came out. It was cool being top 5 in two different leaderboards but everyone knows who is good now - it'd be exciting again, god

Marty is great but I'm really tired of people in the industry whining on twitter when they get fired for "no reason." I mean, maybe Bungie really did just gently caress this guy over, who knows, but it's not like we're going to get the other side of the story. Maybe he was just an rear end in a top hat or had developed bad habits.

Maybe they already have it. I think they are just at the mixing stages now. Still, he was a critical part to that step as well. I think this whole thing is stupid. Grow up and stop using twitter like a teenager. I really want to hear the Bungie side of the story.

I've been playing local split screen halo 4 with friends since my xbox live ran out, and it is a lot of fun. With more and more games losing split screen, I forgot what it was like to shoot a friend in halo only to get punched in retaliation in real life while struggling to tea bag his corpse.
