>>1680468 >the last halo and bungie had to sell the franchise to another company It also wasn't sold off, Microsoft already owned the franchise. They just lost bungie as a dev.

>>1680497 tru, i forgot microsoft exists >>1680479 that explains a lot since the trilogy was so good i give halo 1 a 9/10, halo 2 an 8/10 and halo 3 i have yet to replay but its probably gonna be another 8 (havent played it in at least 4 years). halo reach i dont think it even reaches (lol) a 7. havent played it since 2017 and i doubt ill replay it tho so i cannot really give a number. odst i have never played

>>1680468 >>1680511 Begone, reachlet.

>>1679916 Aside from armor abilities (mostly just two being useful to the point of being almost overpowered), gameplay was fine. A lot of folks gawk about bloom, which automatics already had a cone of fire. Precision weapons like the DMR having a cone of fire was pretty dumb and unlike Halo, but I got used to it because of the way Halo handled aim assist in those days. There's also fucking up lore, and using Halsey's Journal as some kind of bible to justify said fucking up with lore, but that's kind of pointless to talk about now, considering what 343 has done to the lore since then. And Bungie just seemed to not want to do Halo anymore. That was obvious with ODST. Even if they didn't leave Microsoft to do Destiny, they probably would have phoned in the next Halo game if Microsoft kept them and made make another, and it would have had similar quality to Halo 4 for different reasons. Reach's artstyle is my favorite, and apparently many others'. There's a reason Infinite emulates a lot of Reach's armor designs for the Chief, the Marines, and some of the Banished.

>>1682837 why was it obvious with odst that bungie didnt want to make halo anymore? i have never played it so i dont understand. also, can i ask why is reach ur favorite artstyle? halo 2 seems like the best

Halo 2 was the best game in the series and if you disagree its because you are a retarded casual who couldn't hang and needed the game to be dumbed down in """Halo""" 3

>>1683159 halo 2 is the one with the most personality and the most artistic merit out of the three but halo 1 is simply superior because its better done, has less (very few) flaws

>>1683124 Because it was a mission pack to Halo 3 to tie Halo 2 and 3 together and it wasn't necessary, since every major reveal in ODST was already shown three levels into Halo 3 without needing to follow six dipshits wandering a doomed city to discover what the player already knows. A Bungie that gave a shit would have made not only a completely different story showing something we haven't seen before, but would have made significant changes to the gameplay as opposed to the ODSTs playing like a mildly debuffed Master Chief. >>1683159 Strange that people that call Halo 2 their favorite consider 3 the inferior Halo and not Reach, but whatever. While I favor Reach's gameplay in certain areas, Halo 2 arguably has the best gameplay.

>>1683159 Halo 1-3 are comically similar, what's with this retard-tier attempt at tribalism? >>1683124 >why was it obvious with ODST that bungie didn't want to make halo anymore? For one thing, most of ODST involves you just walking around an empty hub city in Neo-Africa collecting shitty audio collectibles rather than anything actually halo-esque, and most of the missions sucked too, plus the general changes to the story and spartans in the context of the game were for the worse.

>>1683159 https://archive.is/ny9rB Then why did Bungie claimed that they majorly screwed up the game when it launched? You're forgetting the fact that they had 8 months of development because they had to redesign their engine from scratch and scrap so many ideas that wasn't finalized, in which they suffered from crunch. You can see yourself in the awful enemy AI (i.e Elites being not as agile and fast like in the first game) and Legendary being absolutely so shit to play that jackal snipers can easily one-shot you in a single shot.

>>1683159 >Rushed out linear piece of shit with even more corridors and worse level design than 1 1 is the only good game, the rest are a mixed bag with Halo 2 being the worst.

>>1683256 >Halo 1-3 are comically similar, what's with this retard-tier attempt at tribalism? You need to post inflammatory one liners that obviously make zero sense in order to farm engagement for twitter bucks. They're extremely valuable to third worlders. Does anyone know the going rate for 8moe (You)'s?

>>1686446 >Does anyone know the going rate for 8moe (You)'s? bout tree fiddy

>>1626438 I read the first 3 novels, and unironically enjoyed them more than the games. Halo just never really clicked for me when it was the big thing, and of course, it completely destroyed the first person shooter genre as a result of everybody else trying to mooch off of its success, so it's hard for me to enjoy it retrospectively either. I never knew that there was a 4th novel, though. >Checks spoiler Jesus fucking christ.

>>1692639 Hey, look on the bright side. It's almost certainly not white, so that's a positive.

I still meet up with the boys to play Halo 2 every once in awhile. 360's are cheap when you know how to fix and mod them so I've finally gotten 16 full setups.
