Destiny is a million times better than Halo 5. Bungie knows how to make FUN games.

Destiny was only serviceable after 3 overpriced expansions, but if you're OK with paying more for what you should have gotten in the first place then more power to you. Destiny is as anti consumer as it gets. Plus the PVP is unbalanced garbage.

I really hope 343i takes their time, 4 and 5's campaigns were bad.

[jviggy43]

Well, Bungie certainly doesn't know how to make a good multiplayer game. Their multiplayer arena design has been going downhill for a while now. Halo Reach wasn't great and Destiny is just straight up garbage (IMO).

I'm curious to see the decisions they make in Destiny 2 to improve multiplayer.

They made the original halo mp which is far and away the best of the games being mentioned in here tho. Reach and Destiny were garbage MP I agree with that.

Lmao first off they are two different styles of games.

Second hell the fuck no on the multiplayer that imbalanced mess known as the crucible doesn't even come close to arena

When it comes to competitive multiplayer, destiny doesn't hold a candle to halo 5.

That being said, I really, really, reeeallyhope 343 takes their time with 6. I want to feel that spark again

I see what you did there.

But I agree. Holding 6 back from this year's E3 is a good start.

Halo 3 Remaster isn't happening https://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-3-remaster-is-not-happening-microsoft-says/1100-6450030/

[im_dany]

Fix MCC and add Halo 3 Remaster as DLC, please?

Or atleast just fix MCC. Remove every playlist except classic Halo 2 BR Slayer and BTB CTF Halo CE. Or just remove Halo 4.

Only a halo fan can ask for such a ridiculous demand.

I don't care at all about Halo Wars 2 so I hope it's not related to that.

it probably will be considering its the latest halo game.

I get discouraged reading halo threads sometimes

I get discouraged reading halo treads sometimes

When you've been around for so long your most hard core fans hate you. See the Howard stern thread for more of this bitter fan betrayal behavior.

 

[RichiRamjag]

Even fans of the games massively disagree on various issues. Lol

 

[Detective]

Sadly, Halo 6 will be the first halo ever I ain't getting it day one ever since CE.

With the way 343 handles things am gonna wait and see cautiously.

Whatever they are gonna announce it's gotta be really good.

Really breaks my heart saying that, but it is what it is I guess.

 

[le.phat]

It'll be a Scorpio patch + PC release for the MCC. Makes sense, giving the Scorpio a launch Halo experience, and wetting a new audience for the inevitable H6 release on both PC and Xbox.

 

[deriks]

Halo 3 remaster.

lol wut

Halo 3 Remastered is like butter on a hot cheese sandwich.

Taste better? Yes. Great difference? No.

 

[Double Donut]

I like how he's since defended that post by saying "at the time it was true". Haha yeah right.

Or maybe it actually was true at the time? H2A didn't come till November 2014.

Seeing as how Gears Remastered was made in 15 months, and that was a full on remake including the complete multiplayer, H2A not being in development in May 2013 sounds extremely plausible.

If anyone is seriously hoping / expecting a H3A at this point, after multiple "no"s from multiple 343 employees, then they have no right to be disappointed when it doesn't happen. They've told people over and over that it's not coming.

Look at Modern Warfare to Modern Warfare remastered. There's a significant difference. There wouldn't be graphic switching, but they could certainly make the game look better. Especially with 4K support. Add in Blur cutscenes and a remastered multiplayer and it'd be well worth it.

It's all moot though as H3A isn't happening.

Hope you're right, but don't think so.

As much as I was attached to Halo, as much I dislike it now, all thanks to whoever.

This is pretty much how it feels for me too. Gave them more than enough chances. They need to show me why I wanna come back to a series I couldn't get away from.

10 years and we are still in * learning process *

I mean you need a learning experience to know if the main Halo games should be about / played as Chief or not? Really? Or how to tell a story and not making people chase books and whatever to know wtf is going on on the game? Or removing key features?

10 fucking years. 10 fucking years .

I'm in the same boat. After the MCC travesty, Halo 5 MP launching with extremely barebones features, and Halo 5 SP being awful, I am done giving 343 chances. They have had more than enough chances.

I have a feeling they think we should be happy with 10.....

Honestly though I seriously don't know. I would love to just have the originals on PC for others to enjoy and also ask how it all got here.

Who cares about balance when 343 couldn't even get the fundamentals right: Aiming and smooth controls. Halo 5 is the most convoluted Halo game to date.

They cared more about making sure a microtransaction system was in place for launch than actual content for the game...that should tell you everything you need to know about 343i and MS's direction for this franchise.

Halo 5 is infinitely more fun to play than Destiny's crucible.

I don't think there is a single aspect of the Crucible which is better than H5 Arena.

Halo is so much more than the Chief. The fact that 343 took the negative reception to 5's story as "we only want the Chief" is really disappointing. Halo's stories don't need to be about the Chief.

Also 5's story was pretty easy to understand without reading the books*, it was just a bit shit.

*They could have explained what the Domain is, although honestly I don't think having a line talking about the Forerunner's version of the internet would have made all that much difference in 5.

I mean the REQ system is the backbones to their big new game mode and the customization features and post match rewards but ok whatever narrative you want.

I mean they still have the right to be disappointed seeing as there has yet to be a Halo game to live up to Halo 3 since.

Personally I find the news that there is no H3A to be very disheartening.
H3A was really the last chance at seeing classic Halo gameplay again. MCC was originally that but seeing as that was botched from the get go that dream is dead.
I just want a classic Halo game with a healthy population.

That way those of us that prefer traditional Halo can play our game and everybody that prefers the new stuff has theirs.
Seeing as 343 probably isn't gonna return to traditional Halo roots a H3A seemed the best compromise but now that's not even happening

I agree with this. They ran the franchise to the ground with repeating stupid mistakes. I'm confident that they will never learn at this point. Or they can go to The Coalition to give them some lessons.

Reboot of Halo 1 set on an open world Halo ring that actually works.

Still has a point. I mean, they could throw in some better maps rather than swamping the game with average customization. They suck at both. Even their main event mode is average but don't worry, here is some new REQs.

Halo 4 is whatever for me. It was their first attempt at a Halo game. It’s a decent game, but a bad Halo game.

Fucking MCC is what pisses me off more than anything. Ok, so you release a fucked up game. You put out a couple of patches and just fucking give up. They just left the game and said. “Whatever H5 is coming out next year, don’t worry about it!” They gave us ODST for free which was pretty cool. However, I guarantee that it was already planned and they would have charged for it, if MCC wasn’t such a clusterfuck. They also gave us one fucking map for H2A. H2A was such wasted potential. If MCC wasn’t fucked up at launch and they actually supported it. I’m willing to bet it would have a higher population than H5.

Now let’s talk about H5. The gameplay is actually good. However, 343i management of it is just shit; just horrible decisions constantly. 343i can make a good game, but they don’t know wtf to do after it’s finished.

 

[LastGamer84]

So..yeah, that's the point. We got the REQ system and had to wait for features that were standard in previous entries.

That's not a narrative, it's what happened. Now that they know people are dumb enough to put up with it they'll keep doing it.

 

[Lom1lo]

What fundamentals didn't they get right in halo 5's multiplayer?

They fucked up the aiming in the final release. In the beta it was perfect, most fun I ever had. But in the final release it just feels wrong :/
I would still love to know if you can reproduce the beta aiming with the settings they added.

They did and still do charge for ODST if you didn't play it before a made up cut off date and redeem it back then when the game was still a mess either way. The only reason they did it was because the work was mostly done with regards to Halo 3 so ODST was the least painful "I'm so sorry" apology.
