Because this is the Flood, and i keep seeing this more often when i am on the flood every year.

So from now on. We will forever look at this cycle with the Flood and Halo.


So...Who's looking forward to Halo 5?

You forgot that they also praise the previous Halo game as being the pinnacle of gaming.

I liked Halo 4 but I'm not particularly excited for Halo 5.

Oh Yes!

If they feel that a game meets expectations why shouldn't they be allowed to complain?

Well that fits in with the 'Newest Halo is -blam!- part.'

-I was here

just saying, there was a lot of pre-release hate for halo 4.

  • 01.06.2013 12:17 PM PDT

Unsuccessfully trying to bring science and reason to The Flood...

I am not buying any more Halo games, unless 343 steps it up. So I personally won't be engaging in the "cycle" when the next halo game is announced.

I am a monument to all your sins

I am, I want to see what happens next in the story.

  • 01.06.2013 12:18 PM PDT

Actually the opposite for me. Before Halo 4's release I thought it was gonna suck hard, but when I got it I was really surprised. I love Halo 4.

  • 01.06.2013 12:20 PM PDT

I suppose simpletons will always confuse the voices of different individual gamers with the voice of an entire community.

Just because Gamer A says back in 2010 "Halo Reach is bad game, Halo 3 was much better" and a Gamer in 2012 says "Halo 4 is a bad game, Halo Reach was much better" doesn't imply at all that those two gamers are the same people, or that the community in general flip flops because they can't make up their minds.

A simple look at your reasoning will show the jumps in logic that you made to get to the conclusion. Usually people come up with conclusions based on what they see, it seems like the people who believe that there is seriously a cycle where people forget why they hated an old game and go on to praise it as the golden standard come up with a conclusion first and then try to prove it with whatever they can scrounge up.

Same thing with the OP's post.

yeah thats pretty much it...

I wanted to become a recognized member of the flood, then I took an arrow in the knee.

Its because the core gameplay for halo is drifting away with each new release. We say the previous game is better because it played more like halo. Reach was bad with the whole AA's and everything, but it was a standard arena style game like the other halo games. Halo 4 is not.

Except that doesn't apply now. I disliked Reach, and I hate Halo 4.

Here's a thread about one of the upcoming features rumored to be in Halo 5.

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.

Halo 3:ODST obviously was the best halo experience.

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

CE had flaws.
2 had more flaws.
3 had even more flaws.
Reach bombed.
H4 improved in some areas, but shot itself in the face in others.

I'm fairly sure he was making a joke, you may have thought too hard into it.
