Makes me wonder if h6 is 2018. 343, take all the time you need
Halo 6, I wonder if they took a step back to look at the game after the backlash Halo 5 received on the campaign front. They can't screw up again, they have yet to make a good Halo campaign. Could be that they're doing a massive re-work and they can't show anything yet.
The problem with Halo 5 is that the enemies weren't fun to fight. If you look at the original trilogy, the covenant was actually FUN and ENJOYABLE to fight. The alien machine things in 4 and 5..... major bore.

Halo 4 was a good campaign with terrible MP. 5 was a good MP with a terrible campaign. They just need to put it together.
How long has it been since Halo wasn't at E3 in any meaningful way?

2005...?
So this is the first time in 12 years that we haven't had a Halo announcement of some kind.
It definitely is. Mainline Halo titles have always been 3 years.
Not developed internally, but 343i still oversees all 3rd party Halo development, so I'd say it counts.Not made by 343, so...still absent
Halo 3: Recon/ODST was not announced at E3 in 2008, it was announced at the 2008 Tokyo Game Show.How long has it been since Halo wasn't at E3 in any meaningful way?

Did they show anything on the halo front? What was the "little something"?

Did they show whatever this was, that I missed?

They probably learned their lesson from doing that for Halo 5.Disappointed there was no Halo at this conference. For the lack of MS 1st party games at this E3, I'm very surprised they didn't have 343 at least show some sort of CGI trailer for Halo 6 and say that it's coming to XB1X. Just to generate hype....
What was that "little something"? I saw nothing about them.
yea wondering if it was in the list of scrolling xbox one games supporting One X upscaling?
Thats all I noticed too so pretty wack, they probably should of just left alone at Halo 6 not being there.
I was always one to say that a Halo 3 Anniversary would have been stupid and unnecessary, but after that conference, yikes.
They needed a heavy hitter to really show what the One X can do. Halo 3 Anniversary would have been the perfect thing to do that with.
I thought H5 4K was such an absolute slam dunk shoe-in no-brainer that I hadn't even bothered to consider what would happen if they didn't
Halo 5 included way more Covenant than 4 though, and also went a long way in addressing the stupid frustrating aspects of the Prometheans by:The problem with Halo 5 is that the enemies weren't fun to fight. If you look at the original trilogy, the covenant was actually FUN and ENJOYABLE to fight. The alien machine things in 4 and 5..... major bore.
yeah i'm the same, I still play H5 most days and it's THE game I've been thinking about playing when I get the scorpio... I didn't expect 4k textures or anything, just a standard resolution bump to clean things up at the least, maybe fix those distant animations.
I mean it's halo, a flagship first party title!
now i'm just expecting solid 1080p... on my scorpio.
that's not what i'm paying $650 AU for.
Sorry 343, I've LOVED H5 but that's where I move on.
Halo 5 included way more Covenant than 4 though, and also went a long way in addressing the stupid frustrating aspects of the Prometheans by:
- giving each type clear weak points
- giving each class a distinctive look, and visually distinguishing each enemy-wielded weapon
- substantially reducing or eliminating dumb annoying behaviors like teleporting far away from you or right up in your face, charging unexpectedly, and hiding
- lowering the HP of the bullet spongey knights
- adding clear visual and aural tells to mark their attacks
- making Promethean weapons especially effective against Prometheans
So fighting Prometheans in Halo 5 is really a serious and noticeable step up from Halo 4. They are still bad enemies, but they're a lot more manageable and less irritating. 343 deserve credit for putting in a lot of work to improve them.
Halo 6, I wonder if they took a step back to look at the game after the backlash Halo 5 received on the campaign front. They can't screw up again, they have yet to make a good Halo campaign. Could be that they're doing a massive re-work and they can't show anything yet.
That's what I was expecting the "little something" to be. I still need to finish halo wars 2 woopsHalo Wars 2 dlc at Xbox daily today.
Disappointed there was no Halo at this conference. For the lack of MS 1st party games at this E3 and MS launching a new console at $500, I'm very surprised they didn't have 343 at least show some sort of CGI trailer for Halo 6 and say that it's coming to XB1X. Just to generate hype....
