The Halo 4 story is a perversion of the Halo story line

How so?


The second a forerunner came out of a giant egg and started force choking the chief.
Wait, you're a Ninja on the Bungie forums which for the past 10 years was primarily Halo..

Halo 4 is in no way a perversion. After Halo 3, many people wanted to know what happened. And we did. Tell me how that's a perversion.

I think the Reclaimer trilogy will become the definitive Halo experience. Yeah the first trilogy was about the Human-Covenant War, but this trilogy is focusing on the true nature of Halo's story, the Forerunners and possibly beyond.


No. It will not.

The Halo 4 story is a perversion of the Halo story line, simply created to drag out the series and milk it for more money.


I think when the Flood got brought back for Halo 2 and Halo 3 you already knew that profit was the most important concern for the Halo franchise. Like, really, you knew about the Flood and you allowed them to break out again? And infect everything again? And you have to blow up a Halo ring to take them out again? People say Return of the Jedi was somewhat repetitive, bringing back the Death Star only for the core to be blown up again, but that wasn't really at the core of the story - the greater focus was on the conflict between Luke, Darth Vader, and the Emperor.

Halo, since Halo 2, has always been about having a giant advertising campaign for a sub-par single player experience, with the cost of the game only being justifiable for the MP.

After Halo CE everyone started hating Halo. No matter how they change it you will still hate it.

Fixed that for you.


Halo CE didn't have multiplayer and players love the multplayer experience but when Reach was released people didn't like it as much

-respect and evolution of Halo's thematic principles

-subtle evolutions of Chief's character (especially through his dialogue in the last scene as he tries approaching the conflict at hand normally at first, and then realizes that he has truly lost this time)

-"AI is more human than the humans"

-"Broken character becomes human trying to save the human character from becoming broken"

-several metaphors and allegories (ex. how Chief's body armor, for the first time, is taken off at the end of the game- symbolizing how the level headed, always calm, damn near stubborn Chief has become human)

Wow, this "perversion" seems to be better written than every single effort Bungie has ever made with the series! I guess I really like perversion!

yes it did, I've had plenty of 8 on 8 system link matches. It just required enough of a social life to gather friends.

You must be new around here. People have hated on every Halo sequal, every one, for a variety of reasons. The hate didn't pop-up after Halo 3, it's been around for some time.

This.

In fact, Halo 2 was the most hated Halo (I was and still am one of those people who disliked it). Now the Flood circle jerks to it.

Halo 3 and 4's hate levels are about on par with each other. It's pretty impressive, actually.

Reach was nearly as hated as Halo 2 (and again, I was one of those dislikers).

Surprisingly, ODST had almost no hate attached to it from these forums.

Because it isn't a big main-series game, and doesn't really have anything similar to be compared to.

You don't perceive any hate for ODST because when someone says they hate ODST, nobody argues with them. It is just universally agreed that it was a joke to charge full price for a lackluster expansion pack.

Halo 2 was the best Halo game
A7x FoREVer!

Every time someone says "Halo 3 was the best" I instantly consider them a 2007/2008 Halo newbie. Meaning Halo 3 was the first Halo game they played outside of a friend's house.

Don't worry, I'm a Halo 2 newbie. OT, I thought Halo 4 had a great campaign. I had so much fun during the 7 hour playthrough on Legendary with my cousin. Honestly, I thought 343i did a better then expected job with the campaign.

Skimmed it and... still waiting to see what made it not lackluster. Changing the UI and color scheme of the game does not an expansion make. I'm glad to say I spent a whole 5$ to experience the Halo Reach MP and then the side-gimmick that came along with it ODST.

How, how dare you sir?! Halo 4 was a great game! Everyone is entitled to their opinion but really? As a ninja you should be much wiser. I may regret this as a Ban Hammer swings in my direction, I do nothing but speak the truth.

Writing quality. At face value it doesn't seem like anything special, but ODST, like Halo 4, is one of those rare games where after one analyzes it, it becomes better.

I have to get around to typing up another analysis for Halo 4 and posting it on here again.
