I'm not buying anything until Halo 5 comes to PC - For the same reasons you stated, it has one of the most fun multiplayer of almost any halo, and it was quite enjoyable.
@@Scout339th everyone always makes fun of me for that. I played during bungies time with halo and 343s and i honestly found myself having the most fun with halo 5s multiplayer. With that being said, I don’t think any of 343s campaigns are as good as bungies
@@omartareen7329 I thought halo infinite was the last chance before. Only reason why I’m saying this next halo game is their last chance is because it’s new management on a new engine.
2:48 About the story direction and general tone, I think it was not only welcomed but was also necessary. As a new studio, it'd be much better to create your own saga, your own perspective, anew tone and style of storytelling and establish it rather than retread the same old grounds and compete on the game ground. Yes, it wasn't perfect by any means but it solidified the kind of story and tone we are going to get. I believe they should've simply iterated on that formula until they perfect it. Learn form feedbacks, adjust the gameplay and stuff. But they abandoned it with Halo 5 and that's the most infuriating part for me. They took out the interesting parts of Halo 4 and doubled down on controversial decisions, like out of touch with reality or something. Art style change criticism, I can get behind. They shouldn't have gone full radical mode. They should've kept the consistency and slowly introduced new Promethean, UNSC and Covenant tech. Like the new AR or GEN2 armors while generly being consistent.
Completely agree with everything you said man. I myself loved halo 4 and the direction it went with the story. I just didn’t like the artstyle as well as the multiplayer. I found the multiplayer to be too similar to COD and not what halo is. It isn’t a bad multiplayer at all, just not my favourite. Halo 5 on the other hand had probably one of the best multiplayers but still had the same problem with the artstyle. The campaign, I think we can collectively agree, that it wasn’t as good as any other mainline halo game.
@@YoBoZ23 Completely understandable. As I said, I wish they iterated on Halo 4. If they did, Halo 5 could've had an awesome story and gameplay that would've been similar to Infinite. Ideating on what works and what doesn't. Remember Poncho Chief? They threw out Schlerf's script and just went ahead for a full rewrite. They didn't commit. Upon rewatching the H5 cutscenes, I realised how empty and devoid of anything the story was lol.
I can’t help but worry that this is a case of overcompensating with graphical fidelity. Likely to make up for what will be a lacklustre story, which is even more worrying considering a good halo story is pretty much just generic action game with halo theme. Despite that, I sorely hope I am wrong.
@@lm07_88 that was the case with the E3 infinite trailer in 2018. The game looked absolutely stunning and we all got extremely hyped but when the game came out it was nothing like the trailer. This time I think and hope they’ve learned their lesson. Also they are on UE5 now which makes the process of making the game much easier and much faster. For now I am cautiously optimistic about the game. I’ll always be excited for halo but I won’t set my expectations too high.
I feel like they shouldn't time crunch the next games for the only reason why I day that is that infinite was on a time crunch I feel like if they took their time and map out a good story and the use all the good aspects that had woth the other games and bring back reach armour customisation
Infinite was overall universally consider their "Last Chance" by most fans that still remained. Heck most og fans left in droves after halo reach 4 and 5........ sorry dude.
@@ACWolfieIsBACK I honestly considered it their last chance as well but I believe that all the old management who made these stupid decisions have left and a we now have this new management who knows 343 messed up and want to move on from it and show that they can make a halo game. I could be completely wrong, we will just have to wait and see for ourselves when the next game comes out
@@RubiousDubious originally, I was going to call it “halo studios ONLY chance” but I don’t think it would be fair because a majority of the people working there are still from 343, just the higher up people who made the stupid decisions have been let go like kiki wolf kill, frank o Connor, Bonnie Ross, Chris Lee and etc
@@SangiusInFerrum Microsoft acquired bungie during the early days and they still made the best games. Microsoft is a problem but I honestly think the main problem was the old 343 management. Also bungie did ask for more freedom to create their games when they were with Microsoft
It not last chance but final dead for target LGBTQ market. They have many chances. They are just burn the bridge with DEI and ESG stuff. As they didn't listen to feedback on their shady practice. The person or many group in charge are DEI women. I wonder if the work flow is lazy or down right shady.
ESG refers to Environmental, Social and Governance. It's not some evil scoring system. Just learn sone basics. ESG existed since 2004 and it's a system that assess factors like carbon emissions, labor practices, and board diversity. Typically scored on a scale from 0 to 100. It's like a scoring to find out if a workplace is toxic or not.
@@Sahlan_Ahamed I feel it just fraud since it does not make sense people are lay off. There no way see that work place is bad. Plus they get money as well which make no sense that I feel it clearly a bribe for the top.
