Now can we get back to Halo? I love these shots of Requiem but I dislike almost everything else. The textures in Halo 4 are so muddy and terrible

Who knew Microsoft was actually keeping a developer together. They completely fell apart once they left and sold their soul to Activision
Does anyone know if Destiny was pitches to Microsoft or did they just want to cut ties and move on after Halo? I think it could have done well as an exclusive and without Activision

They were bad to begin with, but they got progressively worse (hence the creation of d*stiny )
Joshua Hall
Again, the question was "why are they getting worse" not "what level of quality are they". pay attention brainlet
Nathaniel Diaz
nigga dosen't even play. Hell KAI plays more than he does. Fucking sigmund and friends baka.
Easton Rogers
He played just yesterday or the day before with /hg/. That's more than Kai.

I don't get it. Hunt the Truth, Halo Nightfall, were both amazing. They were great set ups for Halo 5. But Halo 5 didn't use any of that stuff. Where was Blue Team's betrayal? It said they went rouge but in the game it just seemed like they left to do another mission. They didn't get any civilians killed, they didn't do anything illegal, nobody thought "Oh maybe Master Chief is a bad guy." During the story. In reality it was just, Laskey: "Alright chief come back to infinity." Chief: "....No...." Laskey: "Alright boys lets hunt 'em down." I thought Locke would hate Chief for the terrible things he did. The trailer that showed Chief at the bottom of the statue with Locke about to shoot him, and then the flipped version? Where the hell was that at let alone in the story? Jul M'dama was a major antagonist in that side story in Halo 4. Destroyed Requiem. Kidnapped Halsey. Jul M'dama dies and Halsey is rescued in a cutscene at the end of the first mission. 343 clearly wants to incorporate boss fights so bad, why didn't they make Jul M'dama a boss like halfway through the campaign instead of reusing the same boss over and over again? It's pathetic. Just let the people who made Hunt the Truth and the trailers write the story god's sake. 343 is the most incompetent company on the face of the Earth. I would like to see them attempt to make their own IP, rather than ruin the greatest IP ever made that made Xbox great!
Oliver Hall
Red. Soon.
Austin Watson
What made Halo 2 and Halo 3 so popular?
Sebastian Sanchez
they were on platforms with absolutely nothing else good AT ALL
Nathan Martinez
Being good games with good community support. Remember that a lot of Xbox Live's functionality on the 360 was based on features Halo 2 brought to the table.
Brayden Allen
Easy to pick up games with solid gameplay and map design, where even the most constricting dlc was quickly given out for free. Also has local splitscreen out the ass, as well as great music and artstyles.
Connor Peterson
>Reclaimer, did you ever hear of the tragedy of The IsoDidact,[4] also known simply as the Didact or more specifically as the Bornstellar Didact? Bornstellar was an alternate incarnation of the Forerunner Promethean supreme commander known as the Didact. Originally a young Manipular known as Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting or simply Bornstellar, he was transformed into a "copy" of the Didact after being imprinted with the latter's consciousness and memories, taking on the original Didact's identity and role of supreme commander of Forerunner war efforts against the Flood in the ongoing Forerunner-Flood war. The IsoDidact intended to serve as a replacement for the Didact, who was at the time believed to have been executed by Master Builder Faber. The "IsoDidact" moniker was adopted to differentiate the copy from the original Didact, who was subsequently identified as the Ur-Didact.[4] The Ur-Didact's madness-induced actions near the end of the war led to his imprisonment for the next 100,000 years, leaving the IsoDidact to lead the Warrior-Servants for the final days of the war. He was also the individual responsible for activating the Halo Array at the close of the Flood conflict.[5] Following the firing of the Array, the IsoDidact gradually distanced himself from his Didact persona, being more frequently referred to as Bornstellar-Makes-Eternal-Lasting once again.[6][7] Ironic, he could save all life in the galaxy, but not himself.
> You, Reclaimer, are a reincarnated version of the Iso-Didact, Bornstellar.
>>Also reclaimer, did I ever tell you about the Iso-didact's (the Forerunner you are a reincarnation of) best friend? He was a prehistoric human named Chakas, and he helped save the entire Galaxy. His mind was then harvested and turned into an AI named 343 guilty spark. That's me!

>My first experience with Halo was on the original Xbox, every weekend we would play coop or local LAN games on a single console. >Fast forward to Halo 2, we'd either try to play Legendary or custom games then. Every weekend was like waking up early Christmas morning to play Halo. >Then H3 comes around. >Everyone I used to play local with got on board with PC gaming while I still stuck to consoles. Couldn't afford that shit at the time. Had to pay for my own Live subscription at one point. >Then actually have my own internet and join Bungie.net before Destiny was thing. >H3 Custom game nights out the ass with a new community to play with. It was glorious. >Then came ODST, spent some nights just doing FF online with friends or doing coop in that as well. >After that was Reach. Don't know how many sessions I played online doing matchmaking, custom games, or coop. It was a dream. >H4 comes around. >Everyone I used to play with moved on or stopped playing. >All the former online communities I used to play with died.
>Fast forward to now. >Get my own taste of PC gaming. >I've been through TF2, Warframe, CS:GO, OW, Siege, etc. >I just want to play me some good old fashion Halo out of it all at this point.

What's wrong with Halo 4?
Parker Carter
Everything.

I shit you not, in high school I had a group of friends and we would play Halo 3 (and later reach) together every weekend, 8 per group 14 in total and we would just play custom matches or try to match each other in BTB. We ALL had Halo 4 pre-ordered, we were all excited, and at least half of us went to the midnight launch.
Fast forward to the second weekend after release. Everyone universally hated the campaign. We tried to have fun with the multiplayer, but it was too different, I think there was only 3 guys who kept playing non stop it got to the point where at week fucking 2 of this highly anticipated game played by a bunch of college students with nothing but free time, the group had died. And we haven't got together since. Fuck halo 4. I fucking hate that game. It was literally so shit it killed the series.
