Hi everyone, Spartan here with site poll #87. Last week I asked which armour unlock system you'd like to see in Halo Infinite, and the consensus came to Reach's system, with aspects of Halo 3/4's unlcok requirements. There were many great posts, and what made them even better was the suggestion of bringing back the Vidmaster challenges. Click here to view the last poll, #86. Will we see Blue Team again in Halo Infinite? To be honest, there's actually no confirmation (yet) that Blue Team will be in Halo Infinite. Did 343 saying that Infinite will focus on Chief, mean Blue Team will also be cut out the picture? Having them in Halo 5 was great, and needed at one point or another, but was that just a one time thing? Blue Team will be essential in the fight against Cortana, whether we see them in the game or they head back to the books is yet to be confirmed. Do you think we'll see them again, or not? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, Spartan out. -
Hi everyone, Spartan here with site poll #86. Last week we compared our favourite matchmaking playlists, and the thread will give you one hell of a throwback. Click here to view the last poll, #85. How do you want the armour-unlock system to work in Halo Infinite? We talked about the REQ system a couple of weeks ago, and one strong point for criticism is how it has completely flawed the armour-unlock system. I personally see Halo 3 as having the best armour-unlock system out of all games. Halo Infinite needs to not only consider realistic designs (no idea what they were thinking in Halo 5 with some helmets), but the means of unlocking each armour piece needs to be seriously reconsidered. What armour-unlock system do you want to see in Halo Infinite? One of the older ones, or something completely new? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, Spartan out.

Hi everyone, Spartan here with site poll #84. Last week we discussed whether Halo Infinite will be open-world or not, and there were some great points made by community members. Click here to view the last poll, #83. Do you want the REQ system to return? Halo 5's REQ system is controversial, that's for sure. Some love it, some hate it. Frank O'Connor said in an interview at the start of this year that the REQ system is "well-liked", which caused quite a stir considering how many people in the Halo community are opposed to it. The REQ system is something very new to Halo, who could have seen it coming? It's not a very unique idea, but it's something I would have never imagined coming to Halo. The main issue people have is that it can benefit users who have more money to spend on the game. Sure, there's no direct impact on your performance in Arena, but there can be in Warzone. I think the "unbalance" argument for the REQ system isn't a good one, because 343 integrated it really well and fairly. My problem is that it's boring, like really boring. Think Halo Reach's credit system, but you don't necessarily get what you want. I personally believe Halo 5's armour "unlocking" is the worst way in any Halo game out there. What if you just want this one set of armour, but the chances of you getting it depend on an RNG, and how many REQ points (or how much cash) you have to burn. What's your stance on the REQ system? Stances, those are something else you can only get randomly by an "RNG pack"... Let me know whether you want the REQ system to return or not, and why. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts, Spartan out.

The Halo 4/5 art styles are really just different species (or "ethnicities") of alien races being depicted. This is made clear in the Kilo-five trilogy, the appearance of most Elites, Jackals, and Grunts is canon. Some are clearly not, such as the Arbiter's, and this is due to resource limits. The reason both species aren't shows is because of time constraints, and resources. The ultimate solution is to have all species shown, and this may well be possible for Halo 6. If 343 can show all species, or at least the ones that should be there by canon, Halo 6 will be almost perfect already. Of course there are many things that can be improved/developed, but the appearances in-game and in cutscenes are too important to be sacrificed. Halo's most important aspect, in many people's opinions, is its lore. 343 have done an outstanding job with Halo Wars 2. They show both the original species from "Bungie's" Halos, and the "343" species. This is what all future Halo titles need. It makes sense, and breaks no canon or lore. Why would there only be all of one species in a specific military? There would be a mix, like we see in Halo Wars 2. For the Covenant, the only "mix" we see is with grunts, and that's perfectly fine. It could make sense that all of Let Volir's crew was full of were the Halo CE/2/3/Reach species shown. We can safely assume that there were some Halo 4/5 species during the older games as well, just not depicted. The Arbiter, Thel Vadam, certainly needs his real appearance back in all future titles, but all the rest (not previously confirmed Elites) can be mixed. The Kig-Yar have 3 different species confirmed, with names. The Sangheili don't need different species names, they're not that different and wouldn't distinguish each other in that way. They Unggoy, I can't say, would love to see some more differentiation between the Halo 4/5 ones and those prior though. The reason we may see 343 succeed in this area with Halo 6 is because of the time spent on Halo 6's development; clearly a lot longer. It will most likely drop in 2019 or 2020, and will be a huge success in the eyes of it's followers if 343 mix these styles together. They could be working on it right now as you read this. It will revive the dead horse everyone keeps kicking, and grow it from a colt to a stallion. This will be even better than before, because we see things how they really are, with all species (or the ones which are meant to be there canonically) involved. If 343 don't do this, it would be very disappointing, and more hope would be lost. I'm confident they know what to do now, and have known for the past 2 years. Halo Wars 2 has reassured me, and I hope to see both styles in future titles. Bringing back the old and getting rid of the new is not the way to do it. That will only make it worse, it won't make much sense, and completely get rid of newly introduced species (which have canonically been there from the start). We need both, and I put my faith in 343 to not fail us.

Hey guys! so a few months back I had a bet with a friend to recreate the first level of halo CE in game maker 8.1 as we both got an A+ in our school assignments back in the day for game maker and we had a score to settle in this area. In a nutshell I won the bet. I spent 4.5 months trying to faithfully recreate the entire game in 3d in a aging game engine built for 2D games. I hope you guys enjoy it and would love to hear your feedback.

So as many of you probably know, with Xbox play anywhere it's now going to be possible to play full versions of future Halo titles on PC. Now why is this so important you may ask? Simply because PCs can effectively stomp console gaming in every shape and form. Now! If Micro$oft holds true to their word then supposedly EVERY Xbox one game will be available on PC as well, thus more profits for Micro$oft from PC gamers! I firmly believe Micro$oft will effectively kill Xbox in the long run with this program because what was once an 'Exclusive' game will now be available to all PC gamers everywhere! SO! Why would anyone want a inferior experience on a console when they can get the best possible experience on a reliable PC for a fraction of the cost of a console and upgradeable options in the future. Consoles are a dying breed and Micro$oft should turn their attention to their PC fan base, just look at Halo 5: Forge... sure it doesn't have campaign or a REAL matchmaking system but darn it! It's beautiful on the PC and it's common knowledge that games WILL run better on a gaming PC anyway. Anyway enough about my rant but I'm just about to jump ships once the next Halo game releases on PC. #MakeHaloGreatAgain #Halo6PC Felt like writing more but I'm sleepy so meh. -
Hello fellow Installation 01 community I'm mason I have a very big request for this epic new game coming out. First to start I'm a huge fan of halo I absolutely love it and care so much about it. I want to say thank you to the developers of Installation 01 for doing this and creating this game. i always really wanted to be a marine in halo not the epic spartans with shields etc. but a standard soldier of the UNSC or a ODST I would love to see this in the game because what not better than having many options to choose from from being a spartan a marine and a ODST. I do understand that matchmaking must be for spartans and stuff but like for like private matches and different game types can allow the Marines or ODST. This would also be a pretty good way to create like short movies and stuff and having like spartans be the heroes and stuff but any way I thought it would be cool hopefully we can see these and if this can happened make the variety of armor like from marines form Halo 1-5 and from halo wars 1-2 from the cutscenes. Now I would to see a flood gameplay survival like kinda like firefight but will the flood and there endless horde and this fights right in with a marine and ODST if the get lets say get killed they get there dead body can get infected and be a flood mutation. Thank you guys and I hope the community can agree that this would be a neat stuff to have-

So,theory How do ships in Halo hang in the air? Example; In Amber Clad manages to stay stationary over New Mombasa in Halo 2 with no (obvious) thrusters. I think this can be explained with Slipspace drives. I believe that a 'passive' ability of the Drives could be to anchor a ship in a particular spot, similar to how the Forerunner artifact immobilized Infinity over Requiem. The Drive creates a link into Slipspace that suspends it in a spot. Now, the reason why only certain ships can go into atmosphere while others can not (Halcyon's can't, Charons Can) The immobilization effect only works on the drive itself, not the whole ships, since it is only the drive creating the link. In practice, the whole weight of the ship is held in spot by it's tethers/anchors/mounts to the drives themselves. Obviously a Charon weighs alot less than a Halcyon, so the tethers/anchors/mounts don't need to hold as much weight. Super Halo space aged metals are still limited and so while the do manage to hold the Charon, the weight of a Halcyon is too much. Now, why can Covvie ships hang in the air? It could be that their super Halo space aged metal technology surpasses the UNSC's (access to crazy alloys and Huragoks) and so can hold more weight. It could be their Slipspace drives are more powerful and so able to create a larger field. This was just an idea I had. Obviously, post war UNSC had more tech and so now every ship can do whatever.

Hello everyone. A couple of weeks ago, some great minds (not the greatest) in the Halo Community that are well versed in the extended universe came together to talk about said universe in general and sort of provide a podcast for listeners to catch up on the current timeline of the Halo franchise. In attendance were myself on behalf of our lovely site 343iCF, VinWarrior of Halo Team Assemble, Adv Jones with the Halo Archive, HaruspexOfHell from Progressive Halo, and Toa_Freak AKA Halo Canon. We talk about the current extended universe entries along with the games' main story lines and bring anyone who hasn't read or played up to speed. There is a link dump in the description but I'll throw one here because our site uses an embedded player. We start with the latest anthology of short stories, Fractures, at 1:48. Talk about the graphic novel Tales From Slipspace at 9:15. Discuss Cortana at 18:00. Review some great pieces of art from the masterpiece Halo: Mythos at 38:40. Answer the questions we received on Twitter at 43:30. Spoil Halo Wars 2 for people who haven't and aren't going to play it at 56:50. And conclude with the current state of the Haloverse at 1:11:40. Hope you enjoy!

Hello everyone, I present you my new map : this remake of the Spirit of Fire from Halo Wars ! It is only an aesthetical remake, I didn't have any block left or any idea od what I could do with that to make something fun with. Moreover, if you go on, I advise you to don't create the lighting or you will have some problem about the shadows, this is the reason why all the pictures were taken in forge.. The map is forged on the "ascendance" skybox because to see all the details it is really better than "exosphere" even if it globally looks better on it. Download link : https://www.halowaypoint.com/fr-fr/games/halo-5-guardians/xbox-one/map-variants?lastModifiedFilter=Everything&sortOrder=BookmarkCount&page=1&gamertag=Erydhil So I hope you will enjoy it !

Heyy, welcome back to the Weekly Site Poll! Poll 53 - 'Favorite Halo Quotes' - is here if you'd like to read the responses, or post a late reply. This week we bring a recent installment in the Halo franchise to a tribunal... Halo Wars 2 has been out for a few days short of a week, and has been receiving somewhat favorable reviews. However, what does this community think about the game? What are your impressions, criticisms, and/or concerns? Also, what rating or score would you give the game? Doesn't matter what kind of rating system it is (?/5 Stars, ?/10 points, etc). Please have spoiler warnings if you're going to post spoilers. The next Weekly Site Poll will be posted whenever, maybe.

I'm sure everyone enjoys the game and loves role playing in the halo games. But like me I know there are others who would love to see movies following the games to see the action of the Spartans in war. I never actually thought of this idea until the epic introduction into the halo 5 campaign. If there was a movie similar to every single campaign story and even ones who showed off the campaign lines I'm certain it would be an extremely huge hit. Hit the story of halo up with movies! Halo 5 proves you can and the effort will pay off tramendously! Who else is ready to see the Spartans in action and the fight for humanity come to a big screen? I know I would and I look forward to what this forum brings. Thank you for all your hard work 343 industries.

So, due to the lack of threads on this forum I decided to create this one! What do you predict will happen in Halo 6? What kind of changes would you like to see once it comes out? As for myself, I hope they bring back an armory system similar to Halo: Reach's. Sure they can still have RNG, but what if they made the new "Reach" armory system randomized as well? Limited time sales that guarantees the armor featured for the day or week? After this set period of time is over the featured armor is randomized again but, still guarantees the armor featured in the new armor set. This way you don't have to waste so much time trying to get some decent armor. I'd gladly pay a little bit more than what it cost for 1 gold pack to instantly get the armor I desire. Another thing that needs to return is a classic firefight mode, I've had many fond memories on Halo: Reach playing firefight to achieve some of the highest ranks in the game from it's vast firefight gametypes. It was simple and fun, it really took the competitive edge away from Halo, which I personally loved. When I got sick of matchmaking because I had multiple bad games, I'd just play firefight and it was so fun! My predictions for Halo 6 is.... Warden Eternal assembles a massive Promethean fleet with the help of AI Cortana to take back the Chief and the rest of Blue Team, after which she plans to destroy the UNSC yet again. Fireteam Osiris teams up with Blue Team to bring and end to Cortana's evil reign by wiping her from the domain forever! Thoughts? Comments? Swiss Cheese?
