By the gods what are you doing here, well don't just stand there man make the tea! Make yourself useful and look at my Fileshare.

We might as well accept that we'll be aiming down sights and calling in air support by halo 6

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

Halo 4 made me stop playing Halo games.

People can push you around and make you eat dirt.
But they will eventually run out of dirt.
Right?

Mac Walters gets a writing job at 343


Matt Ward gets a job writing the legacy of Halo. That's worse.

*if you don't know, Matt Ward is the writer for warhammer 40k universe, and is universally hated for not progressing the universe and just mooching money off of its current state.

If you get a chance to talk to K-Mart, tell him Mabian misses him...

He won't remember me, but it's always nice to let a complete stranger on the internet know that you care.

Sir I can't help but get the sense that you don't want to really talk about this, you want to "nail" me.

Halo: The Marines

You play as a marine.

No shields.
No healthbar.
Compass instead of Motion Sensor.
Aim-Down-Sights.
Attachments for guns in multiplayer.
Prone.
Call of Duty Button Layout.

Did I mention flash bang grenades and a shallow story?
And a sweet name like... Iceberg. Dingo maybe?

Halo 3

The worst thing that could happen is a repeat of the same mistakes since Halo Reach. I think i've made Halo 4 the last straw. If Halo doesn't return then i'm done.

Remember those times when we all had something better to be doing, but didn't do it? Those were good times. Gooood times

Being milked like its the CoD series...

My legit Killtrocity

Camping like a 'mouth breather'
If Fed Ex and UPS merged into one company, would it be called Fed Up?

I don't want to start another account for a digital number that has no true value in ten years.

I stopped when Reach came out

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

When Halo turns into Call of Duty.......

Wait this has already happened!!!

Exploration... dead
Easter eggs... dead
Same skulls
Same AI from Reach and Halo 4
No new game modes, no new campaign features, no new options

Then I'll know Halo is 110% dead.

Oh and reusing stuff from previous games (i.e. reload animations, models).

How about this, Imagine calling a Longsword to carpet bomb an area full of phantoms or enemies (Campaign only obviously) or ordering a full squad of ODST's or other specialized allies to help you in the battlefield. It could work like some sort of Campaign ordinance drops, but with more strategy.

Why Bungie, why would you do this?! - Halo Community

Microsoft decides to drop MLG completely in favor of roflVirgin Gaming.

Because Reach was completely flawless, right?

They already trademarked Halo 7-9 so I guess it can't get much worse than that.


Ewww! Are you serious?!

  • 01.01.2013 11:08 PM PDT

I won't stop playing Halo unless they add aiming down your sights, attachments for weapons, calling in killstreaks, and prestiges.

It is actually very relevant. The current trend of the so called "Casualizing&Ruining Halo" was started by Bungie with Reach (or even Halo 3).

GTFO? Nah, I just love how your eyes are covered deep with good old fashioned fanboyism.

Would have been way better than that lame Halo 4 Target Locator.

It'd also be easier to glitch, so we could have an army of marines being dropped off! :D Even if retained, the Target Locator still doesn't work.

343i taking over.


Given how Halo 4 turned out I sadly agree.


This. 343i seems to have no knowledge of how to construct good tension, and mystery as Bungie did. Like revealing what the Forerunners actually -blam!- looked like. -blam!-, I'm not even going to go into the campaign. They've screwed it up so much that I don't care. What I do care about is how they've destroyed most custom games, and have completely ignored the complaints of the custom game community. -blam!-, they even removed Griffball from the playlist.

-blam!- 343i, Halo may be awesome, but you gotta learn to stop while you're ahead.
