What happened to Halo after Bungie left to work on Destiny?
>>336297221
What do you mean? Nothing.
They retconned the disaster that was Reach and then let the series RIP in peace. It's sad that there won't be anymore Halo games but it's for the best because Microsoft probably would've created a whole new company whose sole purpose was to resurrect Halo's rotten corpse and milk it for all eternity while also ruining the lore or something awful like that.
>>336298128
>disaster that was Reach
b8 thread, shit thread remember to fucking sage.
>>336298128
>Reach
>A disaster
It was miles better than 4 and 5
>>336298128
I can't imagine the shit they would do to it. probably turn it into some kind of HFY story.
>>336297221
IT FUCKING DIED
>>336298391
>It was miles better than 4 and 5
>still didn't compare it to Halo 1-3
Microsoft created a studio named after a character from the series which has no idea where to take the series.
Should I play Halo 4? I hear it's a good epilogue to H3.
>>336298561
Kinda odd to name a studio after such a cunt. They really didn't think things through.
>>336298536
>Not mentioning the fucking travesty of 4-5 in the original post
Reach may not be what people wanted, but it wasn't bad, like what came after
>>336298658
The campaign is quite cool. MP and forge are meh.
Halo 5 campaign is cool on the co-op, but the story itself is shit. However, the MP content is very good, and the devs keep updating it
>>336298658
It and the Forerunner Trilogy are awful and shit all over the simple tragic story of the Terminals in Halo 3.
And don't get me started on the shit that Travissty introduced. Maybe you'll enjoy the multiplayer of 4 or 5 though so it might still be worth it. I have no idea what your tastes are anon.
>>336298658
>I hear it's a good epilogue to H3.
From who? No, it's not. It's quite bad. The plot doesn't even make any sense. They pretty much drop the villain on you and act like you already know who and what it is. They seriously expect you to read books to get the plot to a Halo game. Not Fall of Reach either. Some shit trilogy that everyone hates.
>>336298391
Better than 4, but 5 is pretty good.
>>336298863
I can't wait till we're Nostalgic about Halo 4, fambbq.
Good thing Destiny is great
>>336299764
Halo 4 had some great graphics for the x360, especially compared to Halo 3
>>336299764
I've already seen the nostalgia for Halo 3, and then Reach.
>>336299881
Have to agree there. I really like the designs too, specially chief's armor
>yfw another prequel Halo game was announced
>>336299881
That is true. I'll give you that. Production values were outstanding.

>5 is good

>>336300382
Doesn't H5 have firefight now?
>>336300049
>>336300424
No, there was a weekend-long test a little while back. It's also nothing like Firefight.
>>336300382

>>336300531
Didn't O'Conner confirm Halo 6 would be the last shooter game and that they would move on to other genres?
>>336300686
>>336297221
it was developed by retards. not like bungie makes good games anymore either.
>>336298751
Guilty Spark did nothing wrong
He was just doing his job
>>336300738
God I hope so.
Or at least get good at making fucking Halo games and add some prequel games to the anthology.
>>336300849
Bungie never made good games on purpose. Almost everything good about the series was a fluke.
>>336300958
Explain?

>>336300815
>>336301000
I'm focused more on the multiplayer, since that's what I care about.
>H1's lead MP designer left after finishing the game
>H2's BR had massive spread before a patch that accidentally fixed it
>button glitches that made the game somewhat less braindead were unintentional
>forge in 3 was never meant to make maps, just to change item and player spawns
Their matchmaking and general UI stuff is genuinely good, but when it comes to actually making games they were never good.
>>336301123
QUICKLY SOMEONE BUY HALO 10, 11, 12 WEBSITES BEFORE MS DOES.
>>336301425
But couldn't you say the same thing about most good games?
Like, Star Wars had a myriad of troubles and issues, look at it now.
>>336301425
>H1's lead MP designer left after finishing the game
Why did he leave? H1 was my favorite.
>>336301563
It's up to developers to embrace the unintentional good of their games. Developers like Bungie refuse to.
>>336301613
He's never publicly answered that. Probably didn't like the direction it was going, I believe he left while Bungie were still planning to make it a Battlefield-style game.
>Go full GW and give out the IP for anyone who wants to make a Halo game

HAahhahah
They were so sure the 343i trilogy would succeed that they jumped the gun and bought the domains for the next 3 games. God talk about counting your chickens. I'm sure if they knew than how shit the 343i games would be that they would not have bothered.
>>336302070
Fuck you, I hate iron-sights on Halo.
Literally for babbys
>>336302070
Competitive doesnt work
Instead of Infection and Rocket Race we get ranked CTF/Assault which sucks

>>336302454
>Competitive doesnt work
Why doesn't it?
You guys know that the new Halo books are written by people who barely anything about the Halo world, right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNDQN7nwZlw
Fuck Frank O'Connor
1. Humans were a rival race for the Forerunners
2. The Flood was a powder the Galactic Humans put on pets.
3. The Forerunners were depicted as whiney bitches.
4. The Forerunners' internal conflicts are comparable to the Occupy Wall Street movements as depicted by Greg Bear.
5. Nothing is alien or ethereal enough in the Milky Way Galaxy according to this team of tryhard.
>>336302461
Then why the Assault Rifle has it?
It breaks the original weapon balancing, which was perfect. Don't try to fix what's not broken
>>336300738
What could they possibly move on to? 343i is a company founded around Halo. They're fucked after Halo 6 if the series keeps tanking.
>>336302567
Because Halo excels in the casual and silly modes like Grifball and Action Sack
Trying to do competitive game types is an uphill battle for it and other games do it much better
>>336302708
>which was perfect
Recent Halo games have had objectively shit balancing, especially 2-Reach.
>We have reached a point where Reach babbies now defend their game
This is just sad. Reach at launch was just as criticized by the community as 4 was at launch and more criticized than 5 has ever been.
And yet now I'm constantly seeing "Reach nostalgia" and even 4 is not considered as bad anymore by the majority.
The cycle continues I suppose.
>>336302454
You can thank the MLG Pro losers for that
>>336302860
Competitive Halo has existed long before Grifball. Only reason Halo excelled at silly shit was because Bungie actively tried to fuck with competitive Halo with every title.
>>336302940
/v/ didn't love Halo 3? What fucking retards.
>>336302940
This image is eerily accurate.
>inb4 3 babbies that will pretend 2 and 3 were not criticized by the core fanbase at launch
I want to die
>>336302874
I had an easy time killing DMR/BR faggos in 3 and Reach with the AR but the only counter to them in 5 is another BR/DMR because Warzone is an unbalanced mess
>>336302860
I think having both is the sweet spot here, and I'm glad that they now have a legit ranking system for "hardcore" players, but also fun shit.
What they should really do is research some of the most popular custom gametypes and make them playable by default, and not just temporary.
Also, what the fuck happened to being able to search for and download forge maps by non-friends in the game interface itself? Why did they feel the need to remove it?

>thinking 3 was ever bad

>>336303107
Are you shitposting? The AR is actually good in 5, while 3's and Reach's were objectively weaker than the BR/DMR.
>>336302940
What retard says 3 was shit at launch?
>>336303083
At launch the veteran fans were very critical of 3.
>>336303179

>>336303295
>What retard says 3 was shit at launch?
The overwhelming majority of people that started with CE and didn't just jump from PS2 to 360.
You sound like one of those kids that played the game in middle school and honestly believe autistic game modes like jenga and fat kid make up the pinnacle of the Halo multiplayer experience.
>>336303365
Couldn't agree more
>>336303447
I grew up playing Doom, Serious Sam, and Enemy Territory.
>>336302654
The Forerunner trilogy was a total disappointment. The Halo 3 Terminals told a simple, sad, and cryptic yet powerful story about a race of gods destroyed by their own arrogance and refusal to deal properly with a threat they didn't understand. Then Greg Bear decided to bring us Space Kangz and pet care products that are actually gods and all kinds of other bullshit. Traviss is even worse because we should have seen it coming after the way she fucked up Star Wars with her furious Mando wank and lack of a sense of scale. I gave up on Halo a long time ago. Even the unsatisfying plot of Halo 3 seems like nothing now compared to the disaster that came after it.
>>336303520
I thought Halo was supposed to be about choice.
>>336303562
Meh, I think Halo 4's story was infinitely easier to understand than 3's.
3's story was kind of a mess to me and seemed rushed.
But who the fuck plays halo for the story of? That was never the draw of the campaigns.
>2016

I read Glasslands expecting a satisfying follow up to Ghosts of Onyx which I loved.
Only a few times have I been that disappointed in a work of fiction.
>>336303726
Halo 3 is a good game.
The mistake is thinking it's better than CE or 2.
>>336303820
Sucks to be you. I regularly play in 16 player custom lobbies on MCC across Halo 1, 2 and 3 maps.
>>336303538
>Custom games weren't a major part in the multiplayer experience
>>336303857
MCC means I'm a veteran!
Fuck Halo 2, Fuck Halo PC.
>>336303321
>>336303857
Here's 3, kid
>>336303990
Couldn't make it to 50? Scrub.
>>336302458
Reach did not look as good and that screenshot is ingame.
>>336303968
Who cares about customs when the base game is worse than the older titles?
>>336302708
>It breaks the original weapon balancing, which was perfect.
Are you fucking serious? Halo has always had trash weapon balance. If 5 does a single thing right and nothing else it's weapon balance.
>>336303857
>>336303990
>only 3000 games
>>336302654
Actually all of the books since and including Broken Circle have been great.
>>336303857
>Halo 2
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Seriously what's your point?
You claimed I never played the series, but I've accomplished a tougher task than you ever will.
Look, I even bought 2 on PC after owning it on Xbox just so I could get all the achievements.
>>336304098
>Argument is about play time
>Get rekt
>"uhhh couldnt make it to 50!"
lol, implying it was about the ranked games. Custom games were indisputably the best in 3, which is why it is the best game
>>336299989
I still prefer the original Mk 6 look.
Halo 4 was pretty bad, it wasn't completely enough to put me off the Halo series forever, but then Master Chief Collection was released (which by the way still doesn't work) and I decided I'd never buy another Halo game again.
>>336304202
>Halo has always had trash weapon balance.
Yeah, sure senpai
>>336304202
In all fairness, Halo 4 had some pretty good balancing. It just devolved into shit when you allowed people to pick their guns.Halo 1 also has really good balancing, but less variables
>>336304302
Why doesn't it work?
>>336304228

>>336304234
>Custom games were indisputably the best in 3
How to spot a Halo 3 babby.
3 had a cancerous community of preteen Newfags who spent 90% of their time on boring brown and dusty sandbox maps.
Even 2 had a better community.
>>336304492
So you aren't going to post your stats then?
>>336304505
You still have a way to unfuck yourself anon.
Have this, the only good game on the xbone.
>>336304482
I can rule it out because everything but minigame shit was worse than the older games in every way.
>>336303083
>didn't
I still hate it because of how bad campaign was in my eyes.
Especially the way they killed off gravemind after hyping it up in 2.
>>336304524
>Muh movement speed
People literally hate change
>>336304740
I like 5 and all, but I would still prefer a Halo game without sprint.
Being able to shoot the Magnum immediately out of sprint, and having it be barely faster than normal movement is a decent compromise.
>>336304359
Multiplayer still basically doesn't work. 15-60 minutes to find a single game, most of the time you'll fail to connect to it, even if you do you'll lag like a fucker, and it's not uncommon for people to be disconnected anyway.
The game "works" for a few people who live close to a server. For everyone else multiplayer is still entirely broken and Microsoft are never going to address it because it "works" for those few people living close to a server.
I'm honestly surprised Microsoft got away with releasing a game that broken and then just never fixing it. Surely they've broken some kind of law. Even Arkham Knight is more playable than Master Chief Collection.
>>336304610
If you think I said that it was better than the past games I apologize for not wording it correctly
Halo 3 wasn't as good as 2 in Story or Multi, but the Multiplayer was decent enough to hold me and many, many, others until customs took over
>>336304302
>Master Chief Collection was released (which by the way still doesn't work)
I'm this guy >>336303321 and I can officially say that having put hundreds of hours into MCC (and I still do with friends) that the "MCC is broken" meme is just that, a meme. I regularly play it with custom lobbies ranging from 8 to a full 16 people, many of which I played with back in 2006 or earlier. It works just fine. Period.
Yes, there are some minor things anyone could bring up. Things like enemies not dual wielding in the Halo 2 campaign, things like the Halo CE hitscan actually being more accurate than it ever was on PC. Autistic things to complain about.
You can go ahead and continue to spout memes, or you can post your gamer tag and I'll add you for some good old Halo 1/2/3 customs, just like in the good old days.
>>336304740
If you were still able to shoot while sprinting there wouldn't be a problem
>>336304845
I hardly sprint at all in MP, not because I think it's better not to but really because it feels unnatural or I forget it's a thing.
>>336304929
Where do you live? Because I bet it's close to one of the online servers.
I live in the UK, and the game does not work at all online. Nor can anyone else I know who lives in the UK.
Hear me out
>halo game spinoff
>you play as a regular unsc marine
>plays more like odst where you didn't have as many abilities of a spartan
>>336304574
I'll tell you what.
I'll post proof that I played Halo 2 back in the day when you post your achievements.
That way I can blow you out on both fronts.
>>336305146
>game mostly revolves around the dirty insurrectionists and the UNSC's efforts to defeat them
>>336305116
Not him, but I live in fucking Alaska and MCC works absolutely fine for me.
Now, I'll admit the online matchmaking is fucking dead as a doorknob, but if I set up a custom game, I never have a problem anymore.
>>336305039
I use sprint as a means to get Spartan Charge, which is undoubtedly the most broken part of Halo 5.
>we're going to encourage sprinting directly at people
>and give the attack more lunge than a halo 2 sword, lock-on, and a huge amount of knockback to disorient whoever you hit
>and we're going to make it do more damage than a regular melee
>but it's balanced because you can miss once in a lifetime ;)
>>336305324
Charging someone who is charging you is literally a wild west quick draw to see who can land the pistol or Br shot faster and is fun as fuck
>>336303083
I remember a time around 05-06 when everyone hated Halo 2. There were whole websites dedicated to hating on it.
>where's my god pistol
>dual wielding sucks why is it necessary
>arbiter is gay, moar chief pls
>giant venus fly trap lol, wtf
>shotgun has zero range anymore
>sword is cheap
>massive reticule magnetism
>n00b combo
>awful cliffhanger ending
And people were convinced that Halo 3 would never happen. It's just part of the cycle anon. Halo 3 had a mediocre plot and was a step down from Halo 2 but nostalgia prevents most people from seeing it just like people can't see the faults of 2, because they grew up with it.

Jump and thrust

I haven't played Halo since I beat Halo 2 campaign on legendary. And I never owned a 360. Today I bought a used 360 and all the 360 Halo games (plus Gears of Wars 1 and 2). What am I in for? Played one level of Halo 3 today. Graphics are really dated but I guess they probably looked good when it came out. Arbiter is kind of a useless bitch so far but I hope I can play him later because right now he just stealths and hides like a pussy while I kill everyone.

Here faggot, look.
I've got the limited edition metal halo 2 case, got it at midnight release.
I've even still got the 7-11 slurping code that came with it.
Yes I'm a true fan. I don't know what the fuck you want from me, but at this point I've got nothing I need to prove to you.
But I guess you're still not going to post those achievements, and? Go ahead. Post your GT. I'll look them up for you.
If you're really such a fan, you have nothing to fear.
>>336304338
>>336304460
it has and you'd be delusional to think otherwise.
In ce it was somewhat okay just due to how few guns there were and each being incredibily unique, but the magnum was still way better then it should have been compared other gun in many situations and the AR was all but outclassed by the PR.
2 I don't even need to say anything; I love 2 with all my heart but in MP it's just BR: the video game. It's so bad that having starts with anything but BRs means whichever team picked up one first just won and with br starts no other gun got used outside of powser weapons
3 has like 3 guns for each niche that do the same shit and are totally surplus, and while the BR isn't obscenely amazing like it was in 2, everything else is so shit it might as well be.
I'd go on but my keyboard is constantly reading inputs i'm not hitting and it's a btch to deal with so i'm stopping here, it took me 20 fucking minutes to just type this out as a result
>>336305554
I'd argue ce has the most faults people are bind to due to nostalgia or excuse due to age.

There are no other Halo games beyond this. 343i doesn't exist.

Do you want a medal or something?
Why do you insist in me posting my gamertag though?
I'm that guy, I just took the piss on you for actually believing achievements are in any way relevant to how much you enjoy halo.
tell me, are you some sort of underaged fag?
I haven't seen anyone on /v/ actually care about achievements in any game, regardless of platform.

>Forerunner Trilogy
The first two books are meh but Silentium is a legit 10/10 read. MFW I have no face when Halo turns into a full blowncosmic horror storry filled with eldritch abominations from before the stars existed.
>>336300958
This is true, ODST, Reach, and Destiny was a clear sign. Hell I would argue the Marathon Trilogy was a ripoff of Doom.
>>336307683
The only thing keeping ODST from 10/10 perfection was that it lacked a pvp mode. The wider field of view, healthpacks, and satisfying weapons alone made it more fun to play than Halo 3.

>>336303562
>ywn own a space doggo
>>336302940
This has been the general consensus of Halo even from Bungies Standpoint.
No one has ever realized that Bungie has just barely squeaked by on literally every Halo game.
>>336304098
I thought the bird was a way cooler image.
Most Generals were total fakes.
>>336307897
It's over world was empty, the characters baring Buck were shit, the campaign as a whole was boring, it stuck firefight moments in campaign and it was the shortest campaign in the series. Not even remotely worth $60. It felt like a Halo game stripped of all of its epicness and large scale battles.

>Do you want a medal or something?
Got plenty achievements already. Have every halo achievement actually. Even Running the show in Halo Wars. What about you?
>Why do you insist in me posting my gamertag though?
How about you post SOMETHING that proves you're a fan other than a vague screens hot of some halo 2 Stat that could be from anywhere. Or dont, but don't not post proof then call me out for posting proof.
>I'm that guy, I just took the piss on you for actually believing achievements are in any way relevant to how much you enjoy halo.
Why would I LASO every campaign if I didn't like the series?
Why would I play through Spartan assault 4 times if I didn't like the series?
Why would I win 500+ multiplayer matches in MCC alone if I didn't like the series?
Why would I do these or many other accomplishments that require hours and hours of single and multiplayer play time if I didn't like the series?
Seriously bud, who is pissing on who here?
>tell me, are you some sort of underaged fag?
Transition sentences. They are your friends, anon. Use them.
>I haven't seen anyone on /v/ actually care about achievements in any game, regardless of platform.
Go to the archives and search "achievement thread" or trophy thread.
Have fun.
Still waiting in those achievements, bud.
>>336307897
Continuing on from what I said here >>336308627 the reason anyone like the game was because of its soundtrack, atmosphere, and firefight. That's it
>>336308627
I didn't buy any of the Halo 3 DLC previously, so the multiplayer disc made up the value a bit.
>>336308928
For I already had all of Halo 3's maps so the game was worthless to me. Plus I had already Finished the Fight so at that time I could care less what came after.
>>336308627
ODST is a much better package for $60 than Halo 3 is
>superior campaign
>superior OST
>firefight
>more than twice the maps that halo 3 launched with on disc
>sandbox, the only map where forge is worth a damn, is not hidden behind a paywall
Not that it should have been released for $60 seeing as it really was a standalone expansion released 2 years later, but as far as value goes, it's objectively better than vanilla halo 3.
>>336309340
>Halo 3: ODST was a better package than Halo 3
Holy Shit!
>>336309609
what did he mean by this
>>336309340
Foundry was better than Sandbox. The pieces didn't have as many bumps and rounded off corners.

Far better Campaign
Better characters

Better encounters
Longer and far more satisfying campaign
Incredible multiplayer
More enhanced graphics over Halo 2
New weapons and abilities
4 player online co-op with 4 different characters
Terminals
Skulls
Actually worth $60
>>336310531
Whatever you may think about the gameplay, the forge is objectively the best we've ever had.
who /stuckthroughtheroughtimesandlikes5/ here?
>>336306608
Nope, you are. Story is the foundation to the whole game which affects the setting, the things you shoot, what you're looking at and how scenarios work. The book to reach was fucking epic. If it had been closer, reach would of been a fucking masterpiece.
>>336310283
>>336310341

Let's see your sorry excuse of a shit taste then. Even though it's worthless anyway.
>>336306608
Go play COD if story don't mean shit. Actually even that's too much story for you.
>>336297221
It died apparently Bungie felt so bad about it they decided to kill their own game and their studio mid-development too
>>336310770
Meeee
Disappointing experience with Reach, hated 4, was initially really weirded out by 5 but grew to love it
>>336310826
Tell that bitch like it is, Halo started with the story being at the very center. MP was always secondary.

>Far better Campaign
Off the bat I've got an issue with your argument.
3's campaign is piss easy and actually has worse enemy variety than ODST.
>Better characters
You mean the characters that got ret conned to simplicity?
Where is the cunning prophet of truth and why is he just a religious maniac now?
Why is the arbiter just a side character now?
Why is Miranda a little girl?
>Better missions
The Ark/The Covenant > ODST > everything else in 3
>Better encounters
You can skip past 80% of the Halo 3 encounters.
>Longer and far more satisfying campaign
It's about a half hour longer. Nowhere near as satisfying.
>Incredible multiplayer
Same multiplayer in ODST, only ODST has more of it
>More enhanced graphics over Halo 2
Even more enhanced in ODST actually.
>New weapons and abilities
All in ODST, plus new weapons
>4 player online co-op with 4 different characters

Why do ODST & Reach fags try so hard to defend their garbage which put the franchise six feet under?
>>336304113
>That screenshot is ingame
>Screenshot from prerendered from an E3 reveal trailer released long before the game was even released
Sure, bud.
>>336311393
Please, i'm absolutely fucking tired of people talking about muh Bungie when they havent even fucking touched 5.
>>336311393
Halo is split up by every game that's released. They keep trying to make totally different games with each release.
>>336311525
I'm tired of ODST & Reachfags trying to put their garbage in the same league as the Halo Trilogy.
>>336311393
Hello newfag! We already have our primary split ups
In order from largest group to smallest
>Originalfags
>3 babbies
>BXRbitches
>Reacharounds
>343 apologists
>>336311797
You forgot ODST faggots.
>>336311797
Split up 4 and 5.
>ywn get to play Halo with Urk or Recon from bnet
it hurts
>>336311889
ODST fanboys are a subdivision crossbreed of Originalfags and 3 babbies. They're not major enough to deserve their own major division, as most of them don't actually have ODST as their favorite game, they just defend it to no end against all criticism.
>>336311913
Nobody defends 4. Or if they do, it's certainly not their favorite game.
>>336297221
halo got good and it popped the bubble of Bungie being a good dev.
their last 3 halo games where shit
>>336311268
Did you play Halo 3 faggot? Because if your retard ass did you would know that in Halo 3 you had to FIND the skulls you also had the Forerunner TERMANELS that went into the mythology of the Foreunners. Also fsggot did you play any of Buck's squad members or fucking copies of player 1, because that is he differance between Halo 3 and that pile of shit.
4 and 5 are a lot worse than Reach but it's still shit
343 has tried too much to make it halo without it being halo, they want it to be their own series, they want their own mark on it
>>336312547
ODST had a wider field of view and health pickups, so it's better.
>>336312428
Last 2 Halo 2 baby.
The way 343 has taken halo has made me contemplate if I should become one of those guys who drops everything to make a game or at least spend a majority of my life making a Halo based off of First Strike
>>336312547
>TERMANELS
Lmao
>>336312620
Health pick up making it better. Yeah quick question if this piece of shit is supposed to be harder than Halo 3 then why the fuck does it take more than one shot for a Jackel to kill a fucking Human on Legendary? ODST was piss easy.
>>336312547
In Halo 2 you had to find the skulls every time you wanted to use them and some of them were really obscure. I miss the skull hunts. There used to be a time where people weren't sure how to trigger IWHBYD and didn't know what nameless or ghost did.
>>336312428
I agree to an extent.
3 was a step down, but still a good game.
Reach was a warning sign.
I'm honestly glad they stopped doing Halo. After seeing destiny, I'm convinced bungie would have done worse than 343.
Bungie is a dev that operates best on a tight leash.
>>336312547
>Did you play Halo 3 faggot?
Yes, semi religiously. I still do.
But im not a faggot.
>Because if your retard ass did you would know that in Halo 3 you had to FIND the skulls you also had the Forerunner TERMANELS that went into the mythology of the Foreunners.
All of that can be done in under an hour.
Meanwhile, ODST has 31 terminals all with a much better written and more engaging story that actually links with the canpaign.
>Also fsggot did you play any of Buck's squad members or fucking copies of player 1, because that is he differance between Halo 3 and that pile of shit.
I actually do play as them in firefight.
Does base halo 3 have firefight?

NO, anon
post spartans
>>336313424
3's maps were shit. They were too segmented for the slow killtimes and inaccurate weapons. Also shield doors everywhere.
>>336313659
No they actually weren't, Pit, Guardians, High Ground, Valhalla, Avalanche, Ghost Town, and Citadel are some of the best in the series
>>336313620
My Reach Spartan is too edgy to post
>>336313840
You posted the 5 best Halo 3 maps as well as citadel and Valhalla for some reason.
Still, almost every halo 2 map is better.
Halo 2 anniversary cortana is best cortana
>>336299881
Textures were worse than Reach though (although 4 had "better" lighting). Plus, the art style is ugly as shit
>>336313840
>Pit
>Avalanche
Just a giant wall in the middle. No reason to ever go to the other side because you'll just get melted.
>Guardian
Doesn't have a giant wall down the middle, but there's still 0 reason to actually move around the map. There's nowhere you can move to without getting picked off by a sniper.
>High Ground
Gimmick shit that only works for asymmetrical gametypes. It's a nightmare for Slayer.
>Ghost Town
It's literally a Call of Duty map.
>Valhalla
Too fucking open. Getting up the middle rock with a sniper made you invincible.
>Citadel
There's nothing that particularly stands out about this map. It's a doughnut that plays incredibly flat.
You're forgetting Epitaph, Snowbound, Isolation, Assembly, Cold Storage, and the rest of the garbage you didn't list.
Why do people think we can talk about RWBY in halo threads all the time?
I'm genuinely asking.

This song is like a blast from the past.
Cortina from Hola is the best one
>>336314296
Rooster Teeth is affiliated heavily with Halo
>>336313323
Everything else was a hell of a lot better than the other campaigns. Cortana and Chief were 10/10

Reach campaign is the worst
Nothing happens until you're told to help Halsey escort cortana near the end if the game.
Characters have barely any character development
Trademark bungie Reuse of the same area 50 times
Online is a joke
Both ally and enemy ai are retarded
Music and main menu are nice though.

Would also love a sanghelie only campaign with or without arby on whatever time frame.
Daily reminder that Halo 5 launched without BTB, Forge, the Gravity Hammer, Fiesta, infection, andsplitscreen
