quote:* Halo 4 lasted a whole two entire months in the Top 3 of the Xbox Live activity chart. Halo 3 didn't fall out of the Top 3 until Halo Reach released - 3 years after it's release. Halo Reach didn't fall out of the Top 3 until 343's title update for the game after they took over the game, 12 months after release. I used to be a huge Halo fanboy, you have to accept reality and learn to let it go unless watching people desperately champion a franchise in decline amuses you

I was actually in the hospital at the time when a friend jokingly told me I had to get better before November for Halo 2, if someone had told me to get better to play Halo 4 with them I would have strangled myself with the IV after writing a strongly worded letter to said individual But no, seriously feel better Bonerfarts!

Just reboot the franchise or give up any pretense that people still care what the story is and make multiplayer expansions only from now on because jesus gently caress, was that ever a pile of uninteresting convoluted bullshit

Fanboys will always overreact but there is literally no reason to be anything but highly skeptical of any addition or change 343 makes, even if another developer proves it's theoretically possible to pull it off

Of course the MCC is good, we've already played all the good games in it. I really want to get an xbone exclusively for the MCC but it'll probably be a bit before I can find one for $200-$250 Yeah the nostalgia really keeps pulling at me like I know they want it to (The got loving Steve Vai AGAIN ahahah) but I can't justify buying a lovely console for a 10 year old game for the asking price, the quality just isn't there anymore and it's not like Destiny sucks any less so

I certainly can't fault him for responding the mostly calm way he has nor would I really expect anything different. What's he supposed to do? Come on here and be like "lol guys sorry we kinda suck at Halo vOv" e: or NDA stuff, maybe he just wants to tell us all to gently caress off and die I don't know But otherwise I think he knows to expect some ribbing because we're assholes and the game he worked on was a lousy entry in a series that was once guaranteed good times. I don't want him to lose his job because come on we all gots to get paid, and he's not really hurting anybody.

Reach was fun until 343 mangled it with their title update, but the maps were certainly unremarkable overall. I'll be curious to see how many bones the MCC moves if these issues keep up

MickRaider posted:The removal of BR and the inconsistent DMR was the worst part about Reach. It's been so long since I've played it's hard to remember all the specifics but I distinctly recall the game becoming all about the DMR pretty much to the exclusion of everything else in the TU playlists, which sucked and reminded me of how Halo 3 eventually became all about the BR to the point where some maps were practically unplayable unless you planned to crouch near a box and try to pick off anyone bold enough to poke their head up on the other side for the whole match (I'm looking at you, Standoff). I don't remember those times except for that they were typically boring, I do remember the time in Halo 2 somebody made a combined explosion that launched a tank halfway across coag, crazy poo poo like that. Oh hey is proximity voice back? The best is when you'd hear people get cut off and then the spartan death scream momentarily as they're killed. "Oh poo poo guys they're in the back of the ba-*chk*HURRRGH"

a cop posted:I thought this was halo 4 Yeah I definitely remember hearing the same excuses before Halo 4 came out. It's clear by now that for whatever reasons, 343 can't make quality Halo games and the series is probably doomed to progressively shittier releases on a doomed platform until it finally dies or gets sold. The Halo 5 video looks fun, but then so did the Halo 4 videos and that ended up playing like dogshit.

morallyobjected posted:who said anything about not liking Halo? I had fun with them playing on the original Xbox, but I don't think they hold up that well today, and 343 seem to be generally incompetent at times, so it's fun to watch. sorry I didn't realise this was the hug box. I loved Halo and even kept up with the books up until The Cole Protocol which I could never be bothered to finish. Compared to Bungie, 343's handling of the series has been a total joke. I admit, it is pretty funny how the only people that still like Halo are sounding more and more unhinged as it becomes increasingly difficult to defend the franchise or it's terrible custodians

If you just want to do single player, then you can probably pick up all the Halo games for the 360 for about as much or cheaper and without all the bugs and glitches and the lovely console.

RBA Starblade posted:That was quite the dropoff on that chart. Most people bought it because of the well earned reputation the previous games had. Between Halo 4's dropoff, MCC's joke of a launch and the bone bonering I wonder if the hype machine will still be as effective for Halo 5? The reaction to dweebs like Mick here is pretty much the same everywhere these days.

Organs posted:well cod already offers a functioning version of the 343 halo experience. why wait for halo 5 when advanced warfare offers the exact same game today, and from a competent developer? I was gonna say, Destiny looks like Halo with all the fun explodey crazy fun taken out and an MMO grind added and I don't think there's anyone left playing Titanfall so I guess I'll wait a year and see what the sequels are like.

The Oid posted:You can't just lump in all the old players with the competitive crowd. I've been playing Halo since the first one, and I've played every single FPS Halo. The competitive crowd's utter lack of self awareness has been a staple since Halo was first played online, all of their complaints seem to be centered around removing or marginalizing any way to kill another player that isn't just picking people off with whatever the most accurate common weapon in the game is (BR, DMR, etc). I don't understand why these people choose to fixate on Halo rather than some other more appropriate shooters as their peers often do, but I'm convinced that devs listening to these loudmouths has only done damage to the franchise over the years, because that kind of wankery is not why most people got into these games.

Therefore capitalism is a poo poo system and the Innies were right to fight for their independence and the UNSC were amoral monsters for creating the Spartans to stomp them Halo could be relevant again by using this lore as a springboard for a game with a story that boldly examines the franchise's own (and the industry as a whole) self immolation but that's in the alternate universe and we're in the darkest timeline
