  1. With so many other games out there any new Halo release will have to be over the top AAA in quality 

     

    Even then competition with other AAA action games is fierce 

     

    Fair Point I've actually had a think about this recently and here's my solution. Release the next Halo Game on all consoles and PC with full mod support. Or something like that Halo being an exclusive is killing it at the moment or maybe Halo is just dying a slow death and its time for the franchise to end? I'm not sure but right now the future looks pretty bleak.

  2. Tbf I got banned for a good reason. Few years back a member here put a status update asking for help on Halo Waypoint so me and a member here put up a thread asking for help with the Xbox and me and several other members sorta came in and trashed the place  and turned it into a troll thread but not before the thread was deleted and our accounts banned. Fun times. So yeah for once a Waypoint ban was justified. Go figure. 

  3. So, some context: I've been a halo fan from the get-go. By and large, the first two games were my favorite- but ultimately, nothing surpasses that first feeling of being alone, meeting the flood, and overcoming enormous odds in an alien environment. So, one day I was reminiscing, when I thought aloud: 

     

    I wish I could go back to that place. What would it take to go back? 

     

    So here it is: let's say that during the timeline of Halo CE, we took the perspective of a marine. Let's say that this marine was injured, and the sole survivor of an early battle with the Covenant after landing on Installation 4. The Chief and remaining marines are long since moved-on and it's just you, this alien world, and ALL OF THE CRAP that's unleashed during MC's journey.

     

    -So for starters, let's make the Halo ring an open world. FINALLY

    -Now, let's make it an almost Tomb-Raider style survival.

    -Explore and discover ancient forerunner technology to help you survive 

    -Engage in guerrilla tactics on Covenant forces. It's legendary mode, all day- you're mortal, unlike the MC. 

    -Utilize ancient tech to prevent infection by and defeat the flood in ridiculously awesome ways

    -Have parallel encounters with the MC and perhaps save his life, all unbeknownst to him

    -Survive or die in the destruction of the ring: different ending outcomes.  

    -FINALLY EXPLAIN HOW SERGEANT JOHNSON LIVES

     

    So, send this proposal to the 343 dev team, what do you say? 

     

    Seems like a cool concept don't know how it would work in game but just for the record it has been explained how Johnson lived and alas it is in the books but the rundown is that ending is non canon and at the time of the Halo's destruction he and a few marines evacuated via Pelican and regrouped with the Master Chief.

  4. Its not hidden fact since the release of Halo 4 Halo has been on a downwards spiral and has not recovered since. In times long by it was the most talked about most highly esteemed FPS franchise out there but now not so much. So my qustion for you all, do you think Halo can recover from the obvious lack of intrest its reciving at the momment or is the franchise doomed to die a slow death?

  5. Caboose, your being a Caboose again..... He posted in Installation 00, so it's not a Halo 6 question as I pressume you thought it was because you clicked faster than you can read lol

  6. When is the estimated release date?

    Will there be Covenant forces?

    Will this have a single-player campaign?

     

    That's all for now.

     

    Okay I'm not official staff but a lot of this can be solved by common sense.

     

    1) Earliest next year but more likely 2019. But of course I don't really know but each Halo apart from 4 has had at least a three year development cycle.

     

    2) Yes in some capacity every Halo game has.

     

    3) Yes I just imagine the outrage and loss of sales if they didn't.

  7. Not at all because if it never happend then Tarturus would've activaited the Halo Ring because Arbiter and the Elites werent there to back up Johnson. And then RIP all life in the Galaxy. Even without the ring in play humanity was pretty much done for by the time of the Halo 2 it was only the great schism that lead to the loss of high charity, the fractured leadership and the eventual death of Truth and the destruction of the Covenant as we know it.

  8. Now I know this isnt ever gonna happen but in an ideal world Halo 5 would be wipped for canon and Halo 5 would actually be a sequel to Halo 4 and pick up where that game left off instead of scrapping it and replacing it with the whole Cortana is evil Spartan Locke storyline nobody cares about. So it would be centred around the Chief as his character is explored due to the fact Cortana isn't in this game. Blue Team can come back but they'll be a much better explanation and not just oh here Blue Team non book readers. The Didact would also be the main antagonist with the Janus key and Halsey and Jul playing key roles.

     

    I know this is brief but you get the point I want a sequel to Halo 4 not just 343 running out like a headless chicken with no clear vision reviving characters for no reason and making new ones nobody cares about because there terrible.

  9. Okay now this is something I know well.

     

    Best Marvel Movie.... Ohhh its tough.

     

    In terms of best made I'd say Captain America the Winter Solider or Guardians of the Galaxy but in terms of my actual favourite its 100% Civil War. Because its the cultivation of most of the MCU so far in terms of characters and character development. Take Iron Man and Captain America for example. Iron Man is for more control and oversight, Cap is not. But if you asked Iron Man during his first solo film he'd say the opposite of what he's saying in civil war and so would Cap. And I just love how the stances they take now are the polar opposites of what they initially would have and is entirely influenced by the evens of the films. And then there's the other characters like Black Widow, Bucky. he return of Spider-Man and the final fight being the best fight in the whole MCU. That brings it to my favourite.

     

    As for worst. That's debatable but my personal worst is Iron Man 2. Apart from a few standout scenes the whole films bores me, even on my first viewing its bored me which is something a film should never do. Its just 2 hours of occasional awesome fight scenes and Tony Stark talking too much and basically nothing happens. Literally take Iron Man 2 out the MCU and the only thing that happens is that Rhode gets a suit. So yeah I hate this film and I've only watched it twice and never again.

  10. I know I'm late to the party. I just received a XBox one and I love the system setup so far. I grabbbed Halo 5 because I love this franchise. I got it so I could play with my son and friends because of the dual campaign and the battle royals we would setup with the older games. I wait for the download, which don't get me started on that, select the game and prepare to start playing with my son. I start searching and reading and come to find out it's only dual campaign through Xbox live with online friends. I can't do it with a friend or my son next to me. COME ON 343!!!! I'm disappointed, I understand online gaming is hugely popular. But what about the fathers, like me that are sharing these things with their sons. That only have one system in the home. That play and joke about screen cheating, or talk about strategies on how to make it to the next level. That spend the extra money for 4 controllers so all my kids can play at once. This is a rant but I don't know how to let Microsoft or 343 industries know how I feel.

    Thank you all for letting me Rant.

     

    I completely understand you it sucks and 343 are stupid for doing it. Only thing I can say is due to poor sales numbers (and one of the factors being no split screen) I'm pretty sure Halo 6 will have it included. I mean 343 can't be that dumb can they... Can they?

  11. A mix of Titanfall 2 and Kotor

     

    Titanfall 2 I got for christmas. Its a good game but I have been only playing multiplayer. Its got a lack of content but tbf it more than makes up for it becuase the gameplay is just soo godamm addicting its unreal.

     

    And Knights of the Old Republic 1 and 2. I usually do a yearly playthrough of these games around the first few months of a new year. There the only games that don't get old for me and especially with the sequel I learn a new detail every time that adds insight to the story. As you have to do a lot of piecing together yourself and the story isn't laid out for you.

     

    And yeah I recommend both if your looking for an awesome shooter and a two awesome RPG's.

  12. I know and i can sympathise with you i hate being in games where there is no chance of winning and its basically a meat grinder. But the system dosent recognise you were getting rekt all it could see was that you had quit the game and as the others said you had quit others too before. My advice is, if a game is almost over just stick with it :)

  14. Noting the handle on the GameCube, of all things, was really weird though. I understand the mobility part, but come on Ninty.

     

     

     

    It doesn't look good when EA shows up to announce their involvement only to not show anything, and the port of Skyrim, a nearly 6 year old game, looks atrocious on Ninty's new hardware. In 2017.

     

     

    Eh the third party support was a step in the right direction. Then again all of this was said when the WII U was was announced and look what happend. Third Party support died in a month. So only time will tell, hopefully this console won't flop but right now looks like its going to be another sales bomb.

  15. Except Nintendo has so much money they couldn't care less. I wish they'd stick with traditional gaming, and just make it home-only, it's meant to be played with friends and family

     

    IKR and that's a real shame. One of the reasons Sony knocked it out the park with the PS4 was because they were short on money and had to appeal to the consumer and innovate. Lack of money tends to push those things. Nintendo doesn't have to care and will die a slow painful death instead.

  16. I've been thinking about this issue a lot and finally after talking about it on the forum I decided to make a topic.

     

    Now don't misunderstand me, the REQ system isn't pay to win in the traditional sense and on paper can seem okay. And when your a veteran player it can seem like a decent system too because you have everything.

     

    When your a veteran player Warzone its fine, you have all the awesome weapons and vehicles but as a new player what do you really have?

    Nothing your base weapons and vehicles are nothing compared to anybody else. Meaning you cant do anything really.

     

    So your either forced to keep playing doing terrible on no fault of your own and grinding until you finally start to get decent equipment which could go on forever because RNG is stupid. Or pay money and possibly get nothing.

     

    So basically for new players warzone is almost unplayable and I just wanted to highlight this.
