How many episodes are there of D4?
That'll gauge how long the LP will be, assuming there isn't a Season 2 yet.

That playthrough is actually going to be over pretty soon, I bet. I'm mildly certain more than halfway ish.

Welp, since Halo is officially dead, I got no reason to get a Xbone ever. Thanks 343.
At least there's going to be a new UT.

what happened to halo?
Halo died when reach and 4 came out. Nothing can ever top halo 3. It should've been the end .

The "modernization" of the FPS: ADS and sprinting.
Both break key components of Halo gameplay. Both slow the pace to a crawl. Both make the game more like COD, and not Halo.
I had hope. For some reason, I thought they would listen to the mass exodus of players and return to what made Halo great.
Fuck 343. At least Epic won't fail me.
Reach was decent gameplay, but no giant scale fights which made me so sad. it also had terrible story. I liked the books's version of the fall of reach better.
Me too.. i didnt like the idea of ruining the canon of having armour abilities before halo 1 and having all these new weapons, sure they are great for the multiplayer, but that's it. The scale was toned down so much.
i expected more giant battles for an INVASION not mini battles that mean nothing.
Edit: welp dp.

bad gameplay lol
Fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaah, can't wait for the podcast to hear their thoughts. I hope they at least get up to episode 14 (aka "When shit gets fucking real") by the podcast.

I thought what made Halo great was the story of MC and Humanity vs the Covenant?
I mean, I would be upset too about the 180 on mechanics, but:
343 isn't Bungie
343 will have to modernize things in order to distance themselves from Bungie.
Also, wasn't there ADS with the Sniper Rifle and Battle Rifle and Covenant Carbine?
I have an issue with the sprinting.
Also, there better be large scale battles between humans and the covenant!
To the person who talked about having the snake eaters mashed up. No one wanted it, but here it is.
Have fun vomiting.

Sorry, gummy, i didn't add yours in ;_;

In terms of SP, nothing beats some of Halo 1's levels or 3, but ODST and Reach both had good ideas with poor execution.
In terms of mechanics and MP, Whether those changes were going to happen or not, it doesn't mean it isn't going to absolutely ruin the gameplay. Sprinting in 4 ruins the game more than I could've expected it too. I never even purchased it, primarily for that reason. Armor abilities in Reach rubbed me the wrong way too for including a sprint.
It's a worse version of RE4, not that it makes it a bad game persay, but the story is a little jumbled and everything in it was done better in RE4
Don't forget the

From what I've been reading on twitter, he should be on episode 6. In Gaim I really like how there is a
red herring
super unoriginal and copied.
Liam loved it but Matt wasn't too impressed. They just did a machinima episode which is going to be a full LP if you didn't know.

bad gameplay lol
Yeah, it's kinda clear that
the whole "warring states" thing was come up with in pre-production, before Urobuchi was selected as writer, and he really didn't care for the concept. It's pretty much not used at all.

yea, '"re4 except not as good" is the vibe I got from it. I still don't think its worth $60
Yep. I realized afterwords, but I didn't care enough to actually edit it out.
I saw that gif before the I saw the video, so everytime I see it I always think they are reacting to Woolie's muscles.This needs to be in the new thread.
OT 7 to be the best one yet.
I was going to say it wasn't that bad because you couldn't even hear Aaron in this version but then his voice kicked in and my ears started bleeding.

He is the best part of the whole thing, don't lie.
His voice can only be enjoyed in moderation.
Hey with all of us doubled we almost drown out Aaron. Almost.

Maybe it's because I edited all those clips together, but I just giggled like a madman syncing his clip.

As someone who has never finished a Halo campaign, I know that the story did do jack for me. It was all about that extremely well done gunplay, attached to the absolute peek of mobility that a controller could produce at the time. It was the example of how to do console FPS.
With the addition of the pace killer that is ADS, which is not the same a zoon, for with zoom, now of your mobility options are taken away from you, and sprint, the game went from a great arena shooter, to another derivative Call of Duty clone. That's not modernization. That's trying to reformat the formula to something that the game is not.
ADS doesn't even make sense, as the Spartan helmets aim for them anyway.
You should finish one of the campaigns.
They also added recoil, which is hilarious considering that they are wearing super suits..

Mod abuse changed the OP: guys' saying that ADS has no flinch, no movement penalty, and hip fire isn't being nerfed in any way.

Eh, maybe one day. And lol wat?
THEN WHAT'S THE FUCKING POINT OF ADS!? Window dressing to the casuals?
DoktorEvil

So why add it? It makes people who bought Halo because it wasn't Call of Duty want to not buy the game at all.
I wonder if someone from MS is pressuring all of these bad changes on 343.
The campaigns are really good for console FPS standards. There are a lot of really good moments in Halo history that are just as good as a big budget scifi film.
The quality dips in Halo 4.
How far did you get in the ones you've played?
Yeah, they added recoil in reach and4.. Which made no sense for future tech.. It's stupid since it was meant to balance for the multiplayer, and butchered the actual point of it.

Taking a game I never liked playing to begin with and changing it mechanically to be like another game I've grown sick and tired of isn't gonna make me jump into Halo 5.
There's also the story aspect of it. What is master chief going to do this time? save the universe? Go back in time? He's old and tired, give the man a rest!
I understood CODification years ago as it makes sense to rip off the biggest seller. But now COD is on a downwards trajectory. Their is nothing to gain from trying to win its audience by ripping it off. Halo 4 has shown that Halo fans (myself included) will bail on the series.
What did you think about reach?
Also on a brighter note, I found a very nice artist who has some great art work.

Well TBH Halo 4 was a complete POS with it's story. I barely remember anything from it except
rampancy and the Didact.

Ok, you got about 1/3 through the game, i believe. There's still quite a bit left.

You missed out on the better FPS franchise stories out there.
Destiny is Destiny.
I nearly almost bought Destiny at the Target sale. I was tempted with the limited stock of games available, but I took TEW over it instead.
