What if 343 announced at E3 that they're splitting Halo into 2 different games, 1) a sequel to H5 and 2) a game in the tradition of Halo 1 through 3? Would the world implode?

What are your typical daily roles in 343 at this time? Just simply curious.
Excited for what you guys are cooking up next. Wish you all the best. Too bad we won't be seeing anything at E3 lol

At least we didn't trade Subban for someone as old as you.
What would the differences be?

If there's one thing I love it's doing these spartan ops missions legendary solo, it's not tedious to play a coop mode solo at all....

Well, the traditional halo wouldn't have a bunch of abilities. No sprint, thrust, clambor, etc. It would be a classic feel with potent precision weapons and dumbed down autos. Halo 6 would continue on in the vein of Halo 5. I'm not dissing on either. Just thought about it and figured why the hell not both? 343 could literally explore multiple stories within the same halo universe while also providing both fans of the older games and fans of the newer games with what they want. It's actually an awesome idea in my opinion, but I'm also weird like that. I'd play both. They could stagger releases between the 2 every 1.5 years. #FeedMe
Are you talking about the MCC achievements? At least when I did them you could cheese it and still get completions.
I'd be the happiest camper- and we could end the debates about which style is better.
Man, just take me back in time before Reach, and let me play as chief and friends fighting innies and covies on strange planets.

Yeah, which you can't do anymore.
Wouldn't that be doable with mutators/skulls? It sounds more like an Extra Challenge sort of thing.

Possibly but it would be important to actually design the game's campaign and matchmaking around whether or not abilities are included. Would it be fun to play through Halo 5's campaign and multiplayer maps without sprint or clambor? Probably not because halo 5 is specifically designed around those abilities.
I know I'm spouting pure fantasy and don't expect it to happen lol. But if MS was willing to fund it, it could be really interesting. Its just a way out in left field solution to dealing with fans of the old Halo versus fans of the new.
And from a story telling standpoint, it would allow 343 to do a lot more and not feel trapped with only telling the master chief's story. The halo universe is already too convoluted to really get anywhere in one game. Having 2 would give 343 some breathing room. But from a development standpoint it would do the opposite.
Well, maybe it'd be a good thing if they designed it such that one could get to certain areas with some classic shenanigans (warthog jump/grenades etc) or modern spartan abilities, leaving it up to the player, like some sort of "sandbox". ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Not every area needs to be some justification for increased abilities either. I'd like it if there were variety within a game instead of just segregating stuff entirely.
Honestly I would even settle for a tech demo of Scorpio utilizing Halo. Some kind of tech demo showing what the increase in power would allow. Don't know why they think a 'little something' would be good enough in a year we're getting Destiny 2, Battlefront 2, CoD: WW2, and games like Red Dead Redemption.

Meh I'm didn't care for the Halo 4 or 5 CG trailer. If the pattern held that's what we would have gotten.
I think that little something will be that Halo 5 is coming to PC as a Play Anywhere game, with a Scorpio patch, and maybe some new maps inspired by Halo 3.
I definitely think we will be getting a map pack of some sort. H3 remixes

I can see this happening then. H3a update for halo 5 as last content update. Remember reach? Hehe

How would you feel if 343 made a separate BTB playlist just for Halo 3?
Because I think the other games deserve a chance lol.

Yeah we can have a cross game excluding Halo 3 and then Halo 3 BTB. I hate Valhalla and it's voted every time it comes up.

Trying to install Halo: MCC again and even the installation process is broken. It will stop installing at 75% and then say its only 47% downloaded. Really wish H3:A was coming out this year so I could stop bothering with this game.

I'm still mad CE is 2v2 rather than 3v3. I hate doubles and feel 3v3 would be a good place for CE.

you had to remind me....what fucking idiots. Yes, lets trade up for a guy who cant skate, move the puck up the ice or pass. But what a shot he has. Amazing.
I don't think it'll be that broken. It's hitscan, but it's still only a 2X scope. Ragnarok played well in H4 when it wasn't a DMR fest.

I don't know how I feel about the H2 BR without Spartan Abilities, but we'll find out soon enough. I wonder if this'll be revealed at E3 as a tribute to Halo 3's 10 year anniversary.
We had H5 brs in the beta and it didn't play well at all imo. I feel like H3's move speed and maps that aren't stretched for Sprint would make matters worse.
I'm really curious to see what they do.

If forge maps are the only thing we get for H3A then that's pretty lame.

H5s BR in the beta had me own so hard i felt bad. well, i played a lot better during the beta with a BR than i do now.
The forge maps are for a classic playlist which is coming out at some point.
Was originally going to focus on both H2 and H3 but apparently Ghost decided to refocus only on H3.
Probably has nothing to do with any potential H3A content.

A scarab boss fight in Warzone is something I never knew I wanted.

Really? I've wanted it for aaaaages. Shit would be dope.
They'd have to reinvent the encounter from the H3 model though, with a full team it'd go down in seconds.

The Liche and Kraken were both lame so maybe that's why I didn't want it.
Could just require you to pump damage in to lower the shield before you can board, keep teleporting in enemies to repel boarders.
It's the first thing I knew I wanted when they said we'd have bosses...
Instead we got a bunch of Wardens...
I've been talking about that shit since launch. A Locust boss or a Scarab boss would be awesome, or the Enforcer Sentinels, or just... Sentinels, at this point. Brute Chieftans, Ranger Elites, there's so much cool stuff they could do that I don't think they'll ever do.

I don't even play Warzone anymore, every time I go back the meta seems so much worse.

I'm still having an error with downloading MCC where the download will stop midway though. Any remedies for this issue?

Perhaps delete it, then power down, unplug the power brick for 2 mins and then start fresh? Should clear out cache from an old download.
VincentMatts

this game cant catch a break lol
Are you sure it has stopped? I had a similar issue with phantom dust but just left it downloading and it finished. Not sure if it actually was hung up or just not reporting the progress correctly, but it sorted itself out and the game was done in the morning
I don't think they can do it. Like moose pointed out, your bar for entry is the Lich and the Kraken. Then you go to a singular enemy and it's a QTE and the Warden. Literally 0% confidence in me that they could create a fun, dynamic enemy.
There's a whole bunch of cool things that you could do with enemies and encounters, but yet the only positive one from Halo 5 is the large chamber from the first blue team mission.

Tried that, still not luck.
I'm on my fourth try and I'm having zero progress. The only way I'm able to progress the downloading past 67/68% is by constantly watching it and pressing "try installing again" whenever the installation stops, which is about every 3-5 minutes. My disc is fine as far as I know, I've taken good care of it and it has done this before, but never so severely.
Incase anyone can recommend a remedy, here's everything I've tried.
- Installing it
- Turning my Xbox off
- Hard reseting the console and ejecting the disc
- Cleaning the disc
- Praying
- Unplugging the console
- Installing it with the update
- Installing it without the update
I just want to play classic Halo...
Edit: Welp, my game won't download past 34.30 GB....
Are you installing to the main HDD or the external. Have you had success downloading other games recently?

How much storage is free? Maybe your hdd is on the way out? As above, do other installs work?

I have no problem with other installations, am installing on my main hard drive (I don't have an external yet), and had about 150 GB free when I tried installing it.
Id really be curious to see what would happen if you got your hands on an external. I dunno, are you actually deleting the old install when it fails?
