Subject: Does anyone think Halo can be made better.

"You are the last of your kind: bred for combat, built for war. You're the master of any weapon, pilot of any vehicle, and fear no enemy"

Think about it. Maybe Halo has just run its course. Halo 1-3 established an amazing trilogy for the record books, adding changes and dramatic overhauls in it's game engine, yet making the game familiar and enjoyable. Halo 3:ODST gave a worthwhile spin-off, elaborating more on the other spectrum of the Halo universe. And ending with Halo:Reach, giving the trilogy closure, and giving the fans a new hero, while offering another multi-player experience that I found enjoyable.

Rehashing an retired franchise because of money, and not passion meant changes like killstreaks, and create-a-class were going to happen. It was inevitable.

In my mind, the Chief is chilling in his cyro tube with his soulmate. But 343i can keep making their version if they choose.

Species - Sangheili
Age - 19
Weight - 250lbs
Height - 6'6"
Eye Colour - Grey

As I said before, the Sangheili in Halo 4 are not as attractive, I remember their smoother skin...and their soft mandibles.

"Through the fog the army moves on. Pushing through borders. Knocking over obstacles. Killing all enemies. Victory is secured, brothers, march on until the flag rises over the landscape."
The Holy Council

I think Halo should be left alone.

What house has a rocket pod, has legs, and has a long narrow barrel that probably shoots something powerful?

Sounds like you're describing the lower half of my body, actually.

I think they should have made it to where we didn't have to press all those buttons. Just too many.

It ended when master chief said "I think we're just getting started."

Everything past this point was a downward spiral.

Obviously this is just my opinion.

If they added Precursors and more Forerunners and a more RPG element then definitely.

Nerf DMR and make it so you only spawn with 1 Plasma grenade then sure.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

If Halo 5 = Halo 3, all will be well. 343i made a terrible mistake in trying to come up with original content for a long-running series by disregarding all the old content.

I don't hold this against Halo 4.

The entire gaming industry is moving towards more customisation and personalisation. Frankly, I quite enjoy being able to spawn with the starting weapons of my choice.

But it completely breaks what made the gameplay interesting in the first place...

Nothing is perfect, yes halo 4 could have been made better. That is not to say that it's bad though.

3rd edition. Now with more grunt.

TFS 4 lyfe

I think it's a video game series. More games, means more fun time. If you dont like the new games, dont buy them. Everybody wins, nobody looses.

I never found Halo interesting because I was forced to start with the same weapons every time. It's a lot more enjoyable now that I can spawn with a Covie Carbine or the Suppressor instead of being forced into using the BR or the AR every time.

I just think this isn't 343i's fault somehow, I guess M$ got involved in making the game more CODish.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

Halo as we loved it won't be coming back. Almost every great game series falls at some point (There are exceptions, like GTA or Metal Gear Solid), not necessarily population wise, but the gameplay gets changed. Some people prefer the new change, most of the original fans won't like it.

There are a lot of examples, Look at Resident Evil, Final Fantasy, Call Of Duty, Tony Hawk and most recently Halo..list is long.

It can be made better easily. Stop playing halo 4 matchmaking like many other people so it has a low population(right now it has 21,997 in matchmaking,I checked from waypoint website playlists) and 343i will soon realise not to cater towards the casuals and gain cod fans for more money.(which they failed in doing) and go back to the halo you love...the classic halo style game play and quality.(they have already began to realise this because you can tell, they hured bravomlg and they dropped the price tag of halo 4) HAHAHAHAHA!

Sharks with friggen lasers!

Do you really think Halo 1 - 3 were made just "for the lulz"?
of course they were made for money. So was Halo 4, and so will Halo 5 and 6 be. It is the video games industry.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

Anything in life can be made better, so yes.
