Actually Reach is the bsst story.
>>
>>84398360
Well, it started going to shit after Halo 3.
Halo Reach was medioce and introduced a lot of unnecessary controversial stuff that changed Halo for IMO the worse.

After Reach 343i took over and that's when it just turned to full shit. Halo 4's campaign was shit, story was decent (some really liked it though), multiplayer was a shitfest. So the population died after just a few weeks.
After that 343i released The Master Chief Collection for Xbox One, Halo 1-4 in one game. That shit was broken at launch though, and still is. Literally unplayable.
And then Halo 5, which probably has the worst story fo all the games.

After Halo 3, Thel 'Vadam went to work to create a more peaceful and unified Sangheili government, but there were still those that felt either that the Forerunner really were gods, or that humans must be wiped out before they strike back at them.

One Elite, Jul 'Mdama, thought the Forerunners were idiots and wanted to eradicate the humans before they inevitably tried to take revenge on them, but was rebuffed by Thel. Jul eventually found out that ONI has been supplying the Arbiter's opposition with a ton of weapons, but then got captured by them and experimented on, with ONI admitting they're trying to make the Sangheili destroy themselves and then mopping up any lingering resistance.

Jul was able to escape, but not before hearing that ONI killed his wife. So he created his own Covenant to take revenge.

And that's a short version of what happened between 3 and 4.

>>84398370
Eh, they're close.

>>84398449
Jorge was like the only Spartan I actually cared about in Reach. He actually seemed like a real person.
It's too bad they killed him off early.

Who had the most shit death though?
It has to be Kat right?

They could have Halo 6 start with Chief waking up from cryosleep on Forward Unto Dawn (now looking like it did in Halo 3) and immediately saying "Huh, it was all just a dream?" and Cortana greeting him with "Sleep well?" and Chief answers "No thanks to your driving... Yes. ".

If you can read a novel no problem, read The Fall of Reach, First Strike, and Ghosts of Onyx. The rest of the EU branches out from those 3 books.

>halo: escalation
It had some good ideas here and there, like with Chris Schlerf building up to something interesting in his first few issues with Scruggs talking about the corruption in the UEG, the trouble on Sanghelios, and Palmer slowly learning that the world isn't so black and white as she thinks. But then he left Halo, and those plot points were discarded.

Though I really like the new character introduced, Ayit 'Sevi. He's cute.

Legends had some neat things, but the art was questionable for several shorts.

>>84399457
The animated adaption doesn't even get to the actual fall of Reach. And fucks up John's characterization and makes him seem like a psychopath in the ODST boxing scene.
>>
>>84399489
Thanks in advance I use halo 5 guardians days for free last week and I enjoyed a lot firefight, campaign was OK it feels you need a lot EU to understante and I only watch legends, that spartan locke tv series, that blue team 5 members secret origns and halo comics.

That sad thing is, only barely. Halo 5's plot almost doesn't build off anything from previous media, despite what 343 might say. So many lore guys were confused by it as well.

A Halo game I've been thinking about lately would be a sort of horror-ish game. You play as a team of spec-ops Sangheili sent to a radio-dead supercarrier to see what its deal is, and get it operational again. But once they get inside, they learn there's more to the mission than it seems.

Halo: Shadow of Intent and Halo: Last Light were pretty good I think. They're mainly about Rtas and Fred, respectively.

Halo: Uprising

most of the story is about two other characters and Ackerman though.
>>
>>84400242
Honestly, the books that have been released in the past year (New Blood, Last Light, Shadow of Intent, etc) have all been really good. It's a bit sad though that the Halo stories written by people outside 343 have been for the most part great or above decent while the stories written BY 343 have for the most part been complete shit.

I also suggest reading escalation if you can find it online. Not because it's good, but it's a trainwreck that just gets better and better to laugh at with each issue.

Some of the newer books I hear aren't bad.
Halo 5's multiplayer is pretty good and the forge is the best it has ever been. That being said, the community isn't as friendly (I blame party chat) so people rarely play together like in Halo 3 and Reach.

You should check out Hunt the Truth.

Kelly got kidnapped by Halsey before Operation: First Strike as she needed a Spartan escort to check out the S-III's.

Fred and Linda were in Earth orbit during the beginning of Halo 2. Fred was being interrogated by an ONI agent about his actions during the Fall of Reach. Linda was just chilling elsewhere.

After Halo 4 Blue Team got reunited with John and for the next year they went on numerous missions together.
>>
So how would you want Cortana to be handled in Halo 6? I think the best way to end things with her would be for Halsey to be the person to ultimately kill her.

You know what the worst part about The Next 72 Hours was? Brian Reed had the concept of Blue Team fighting the Didact on a Halo Ring. This has got to be one the most awesome concepts for a Halo story, especially for those who read the Nylund and Bear trilogies.

Brian Reed didn't know what to do to make the Didact a formidable foe (cause a 12 foot forerunner warrior servant isn't threatening enough) so he asked higher ups of someone to kill off. That dumbass said Black Team and he decided to kill them (CAUSE A RANDOM ASS S-IV TEAM APPARENTLY DIDN'T COME TO MIND). Then he needed a way to put the didact in a plot box for later use so he decided to compose him.

The best concept for a Halo story was completely wasted by Brian Reed. He has got to be one of the worst writers in the franchise.

It still flabbergasts me when I think about this. I mean, it basically says to me, "any character at any time get just be killed off willy-nilly, just because they couldn't think of anything else to do."

So how fucked are AI's in the Halo Universe? After the Created are dealt with there will be no reason to trust them ever again. The Covenant species refused to use smart AI's for fear of them turning against them. Cortana hasn't just killed humans, she's gonna be killing a bunch of aliens as well. If I were a Sangheili or Kig-Yar I would demand all human AI's to be put away after the Created Clusterfuck.
>>
>>84401497
I know, right? And Halo was one of the few stories with a very good relationship between Humans and AI that didn't end in things turning sour. They are gonna have so many restrictions placed on them after this is all done. Cortana's such an asshole.

The orgasmic quality of the cutscenes really outweight the previous use of the ingame cutscenes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F7OgOCzph4
>>
>>84401713
I'm neutral on it. Certain things like Johnson's and Keyes' faces look a bit off, but Gravemind and Chief look fantastic.

Movement is a bit off though, although this is likely because the Gravemind cutscene is etched into my goddamn mind, so anything that doesn't keep pace with it is "off".

>>84401530
What has the series done about the super-neat subtext between the Halo and Marathon series that was present in 1-3? Granted, most of that subtext took place in the form of easter eggs, i.e. Cortana's statement in CE that Chief is "going rampant" when you shoot humans.

That was one of the most interesting aspects of Halo for me, along with the I Love Bees ARG. I was curious to see if it was retained after 3.
