Not Halo

Funny, you're not posting a Halo game either.
Sebastian Hernandez
I suppose not ;)
Parker Morris
> muh Reach isn't Halo
Benjamin Johnson
ITT: /hg/ is gay.
Show us your butts!
Ayden Fisher
It doesn't say the word Halo anywhere within the game.
Cooper Barnes
It says it on the disc within the gamecase.
Jonathan Campbell
The Halo is in the legendary ending. You...did beat the game on legendary...right user?
Ian Jenkins
>no hexagons
For shame
Nolan Baker
But not ingame. Not even on the title screen.
There was no legendary ending. That only showed a Halo, but nobody actually referenced it.
Leo Gutierrez
Good, memes should be kept out of the OPs. Fine with them in the thread
Angel Brooks
>But not ingame. Not even on the title screen. Did you check the credits? Where they say Halo, and even show the Pillar of Autumn arriving at it?
Colton Wright
>well they showed it >but it doesn't count because reasons!
James Edwards
But this is a masterpiece that embodies the soul of /hg/ and the whole Halo series.
Joseph Moore
Daily reminder that legendary ending/epilogues are not canon.
Nolan Hernandez
...
Andrew Howard
You're right. The ending to Halo 3 never happened. I fucking wish.
Asher White
Exactly, you can't see Jul's fleet in that ending so yeah, not canon.
Josiah Hill
I never thought of it that way. So either Halo 4 is non-canon, or it's 343 pulling another retcon.
Henry Fisher
The opening to Halo 4 rapes the canon of Halo 3 pretty badly. All of a sudden the Forward Unto Dawn is a different class of ship and several times bigger than it should be.
Gabriel James
343 already retconned the retcon. Canonically the FuD still looked the same as in Halo 3, it looked bigger and different in 4 for gameplay purposes.
Evan Cooper
Don't forget that Spartans 2s defending the colonies work Mark VI Gen 2.
Jaxson Gomez
I have never seen a company more inconsistent with their lore than 343.
Luke Perry
Oh yeah, retcon retconned as well. I think the reason was just reused assets right?
Dominic Murphy
They tried to blame it on Blur, but they only gave Blur the Chief outfit for 4 and no Mark IV, so Blur couldn't do anything else.
Ryder Davis
>343 already retconned the retcon. Source? They never made it clear if Forward Unto Dawn is Strident or Charon class.
Ayden Green
Remake was worse
Blake Powell
He can probably give you a source, but I can back him up in saying that I've heard them backpedal on it.
It had the best Covenant aesthetic across any of the games, though.
Robert Powell
>343 already retconned the retcon. Canonically the FuD still looked the same as in Halo 3, it looked bigger and different in 4 for gameplay purposes. This is literally true about everything in the franchise. The games are games. The lore is told more specifically in the books and what not.
Nathaniel Myers
I liked it more as a forerunner installation
Jack Carter
>le hexagons XD
Parker Martinez
We've done this before. The wiki's claim doesn't match the source. In response to >What is the canonical design of the Charon-class Frigate? The one featured in Halo 3, or Halo 4? He says >Halo 3 shows the canonical Charon-class, while Halo 4 introduced us to the Strident-class of UNSC frigates. That doesn't tell us anything about which class Forward Unto Dawn is. Is there a post halo 4 source that states the Forward Unto Dawn is a Charon-class frigate?
Landon Nelson
>memes should be kept out of the OPs Have you ever opened the fucking catalog
Aaron James
If every other general was jumping off a cliff would you jump too?
Adrian Adams
Yes. You know this is one of the stupidest question they ask to children. It's not like other children are jumping of the fucking cliff for no reason. Probably a train or truck or something like that is coming. If you're friends with non-retards and they're actually jumping off a cliff suddenly, they probably have some fucking reason
Brody Miller
Use your own judgement to determine if jumping is necessary and safe, don't just follow the crowd.
Julian Richardson
Well, the point of the saying is that they ARE jumping off for no reason.
Christopher Fisher
>Covenant Hydro-Processing Center. >forerunner
Joshua King
Mr. Autist.
Levi Hughes
You won't have that luxury in emergency situations
Like just think, you're chilling with your friends on a cliff. Nothing's happening, everybody's calm and shit. And suddenly they're jumping off the cliff. If at that moment you doubt them and look behind to see what's coming you can die because you weren't quick enough to jump, or become paralyzed because you're afraid of what's coming
So unless you're friends with retards following them should be fine
Easton Long
It's just a response to shitty reasoning that something is okay because others do it. Sperg.

>CE - Johnson and elite hug before dying Johnson is pretty alive in Halo 2. NOT CANON

I might have only been 8 or 9 at the time but I'm glad that I'm not the only who thought Gravemind was actually going to shoot her.

Jose Phillips
I suppose that means that ODST isn't a Halo game, either. Or, Halo Wars. Or Halo 5.
Easton Lee
All of those games have Halo on their title screen.
Caleb Lopez
So does Reach :^)
Zachary Turner
It literally does not.
Hunter Bailey
What do you mean by Gravemind shooting Cortana? And what happened right after 4 him talking his armor off literally could have been anytime between 4 and 5.
Michael Perry
Well damn, you're actually right.
Adrian Smith
I only now just realized that these are Seraphs
Nathaniel Green
So game confirmed non canon?
Ayden Carter
If that's the qualifier than Reach is as much a Halo game as Halo 5.
Jose Edwards
Not canon indeed.
Jaxon Sullivan
General consesus is that legendary endings/epilogues are not canon.
Jeremiah Edwards

The general consensus doesn't look anywhere near this far into it and has the common sense to know it's a video game and not the gospel

>H3's ending isn't canon because it conflicts with a later game >Reach's ending isn't canon because it conflicts with an earlier game
make up your fucking mind. If 4 can change the canonicity of things that happened in 3, then Reach can change the canonicity of things that happened in CE.
Michael Ramirez
That's why it says "CANON STATUS DEBATABLE ".
Joseph Thompson
Then the other one should be debatable as well.
Sebastian Nguyen
>Reach's ending isn't canon because it conflicts with an earlier game Wrong, Reach is a direct prequel to CE.
Oliver Robinson
You're retarded.
Jose Bennett
You mean 3? Definitely not, if anything i think you're right and i would change Reach's legendary ending to CANON.
Mason Hall
Hello /hg/. I haven't played Halo 5 since release because apparently 343 didn't have forge world. Did they listen to fan feedback and added forge world into Halo 5? It is the only reason why I stopped playing.
Matthew Hernandez
Even better, they added a beautiful tropical canvas recently. With this you have 4 big open spaces that don't limit your creativity in any reasonable way.
Isaac Ross
Just bought the Reach DLC AMA
Nathaniel Russell
Did you buy it to get the achievements?
Kevin Carter
Well yes, my point is just that they should be the same so it's consistent.
Grayson Phillips
Yes, and mostly so I don't have to deal with the pop up every time I want to play MP
Kevin Thompson
Well no shit my man.
I refuse to believe that you don't understand what I meant. CE is an earlier game than Reach. Really think about it.
Forge is literally better in 5 than Reach by leaps and bounds. You can actually place down your own terrain, alter gravity, through glitching you can even make semi-custom vehicles with map geometry. But no, there is not a preset terrain forge canvas like Forge World.
...unless by "forge world" you just meant Forge, in which case yes they added it and it's great.
Still no excuse for it not being ready at release
Kayden Kelly
4 overwrites 3. Reach overwrites CE. It's not the same case.
Jayden Scott
This. Nobody cares.
Samuel Sullivan
You will trigger the 343 appologist with this post.
Nicholas Diaz
How are those not the same? New game canon > old game canon.
Jaxon Cooper
Then i feel really, really sorry for you. It's gonna be a nightmare trying to unlock those bullshit achievements.
Grayson Hughes
4 takes place after 3. Reach takes place before CE. It's not the same case.
Aiden Adams
Why would you use the in game chronology and not the game release times? Later depictions trump earlier depictions unless otherwise noted.
Jose Lewis
I just looked it up. No land and just water? Seems lazy for 343 to do that. Forge world still looks better.
Shame there isn't forge world. The tools and pieces that Halo 5 forge has really doesn't matter. Only the map (like forge world) is where it counts.
Colton James
Go away forge world user.
Mason Brooks
>I just looked it up. No land and just water? Seems lazy for 343 to do that. Forge world still looks better. Don't take this the wrong way but having Forge World right now would be literally for lazy people. Just imagine trying to build any map you want from the ground, why would you pick a canvas with stuff in the way instead of a clean canvas? Pic related, /hg/ Island would be literally impossible to create in Forge World.
>The tools and pieces that Halo 5 forge has really doesn't matter. It seems you really don't know much about Forge stuff since release, check out some vids in youtube of the amazing stuff people has created in 5's Forge.
Julian Martin
>3 ending - NOT CANON >4 beginning - CANON >Reach ending - CANON >CE beginning - NOT CANON Happy?
Jaxon Ortiz
That seems both convenient and unsaucable.
Oliver Sullivan
yes
Cooper Reed
It's better if we leave them like that, most of the endings are too controversial and conflicting.
