    It’s not that I’m necessarily expecting myself to hate it. I think it’s better said that I have no expectations at all. I know I come across REALLY sour about this s*** but that’s a result of me getting duped by 343 time and time again after I spent my formative teenage years on Halo instead of going outside like a normal kid lmao

    I’m the beaten and bruised housewife who keeps saying ‘he can get better! He’s not always this bad!’ 😢 it’s aboit that level of personal for me

    I feel that. But I'm not about to be a star wars fan level of hurt over a fiction franchise lol. And all the arguments you made about sprint I've read 10 years ago when reach dropped on bungie.net lmao. I've just accepted it at this point cause I never thought of any of the halos as bad games.

    Halo 5 is a bad halo, but it's not a bad game at any means to me.

    Because Halo (what it was at least) is STILL the best multiplayer experience I’ve ever had in my life.

    I’ve tried everything. Nothing has a high TTK + amazing balance between individual/team play + simple but overly effective maps + high skill gap + button glitches (this isn’t a necessity obv but was COOL AF) + power weapons on a timer + meta game for days with the hidden mechanics etc etc etc

    Like the Halo franchise originally had. It was the perfect mix for me. And I have to keep trying for it no matter how sad it seems to y’all lol Nothing else fits me the same.

    man, you really hit the nail on the head of what made halo so great. miss the h2 days so much

    Halo 5 is a bad halo, but it's not a bad game at any means to me.

    1000000% agree with that last sentiment and that fact that I am totally ‘Star wars fan level’ hurt about Halo. That’s what happens when you spent your teenage years thinking you were gonna grow up to be a MLG pro player 😭😂😂

    Honestly Halo 5 became pretty cool when they started doing playlists that stripped out a lot of the unnecessary s***. It was just too little, too late.

    We’re gonna hold out hope that 343 has heard all of our collective voices and makes something at least reminiscent of those core Halo values

    So Halo 6 will still arrive at some point too??

  • Jul 22, 2020

    People seem really hyped for the banished . I hardly played the halo wars series so I’m clueless on that front

    i totally get where you're coming from cause i too spent hours and hours with my friends trying to be pros lmao we came kinda close but couldn't quite get there will never forget the time we got to play against final boss even though we lost lul

    sprint would definitely be a pretty major disappointment, but i feel like that's a given mechanic in any shooter nowadays so i guess i could live with it. if the maps are actually GOOD (cause they've been s*** since 3) and the overall playstyle is more akin to the original trilogy i'll be satisfied.

    i just want to like halo again, apex is the only game that has sorta scratched that itch for me

    Yes. Yes it was. Look at the player count 2 years after release for both games. One is certainly not like the other.

    lmao I went to MLG Columbus 2012 for Reach and had to play Status Quo in second round on main stage 10s of thousands of people watching me get spanked. f***ing embarrassing. Totally feel your pain.

    I’m willing to compromise on sprint with a few contingencies maybe. It’s a staple in FPS’s so I totally see why they add it, but I never thought any of the Halos implemented it in a way that merited the addition of the mechanic. :( it just needs to still FEEL like Halo more than anything for me so I think we’re on the same page with that.

    Maps are the biggest problem for me rn in current Halo, too. H4 has nothing memorable to it and H5 has maps that were in the right direction but still played like poop lol

  • Jul 22, 2020

    The one thing I feel 343 did right about the campaigns was explore the forerunners like we’ve never seen

    The only counter argument to this is they should have left them mysterious as it was in the first games, that can only go on for so long before you just stop caring because we knew nothing about them

    I really hope mendicant and the primordial are involved in this game, especially considering mendicant is responsible for pretty much the entire universe at this point, it’s the reason chief found requiem in 4 and the reason the spirit of fire found the ark

    But does that exclude the possibility of a Halo 6 though??
