The fuck is that?

At this point tons of AAA games are beyond redemption.
I just can’t with these things, I’d rather play Minecraft for fucks sake. MINECRAFT. But even then micro transactions are there, but hey at least they know what the hell to do when it comes down to it.
God I can’t believe I just fucking said that.

Yeah the state of the industry is so bad, I'd rather play on my RGH 360.

I'm setting up Xlink on my PC tomorrow so I can play online through that instead since Xbox Live with a Stealth Server is risky.

Oh and for the record. I don't cheat.

Most of us oldschool Halo players don't really like Halo 4 and 5, well, Halo 5 mainly. Though personally I'm not a fan of Halo 4, and I maybe the only person who would originally buy a Halo game to continue the story, multiplayer was always an added bonus for me. I didn't start buying a Halo game for multiplayer until Halo 4.

Will I buy Halo 6? That depends. Since 343 really fucked up with Halo 5's story, here's a small idea on how they can redeem themselves or the series, otherwise Xbox and Halo are done.

First things first, Cortana. Instead of her being the main villain of the game now, The Chief ends up capturing her via the chip and taking her back to Halsey, having her fixed to be freed from her corruption Or, if Cortana is really gone since Halo 4, then that wouldn't be Cortana but a rampancy clone of Cortana. That would make a fuck of a lot more sense than saying that's Cortana. I don't like how an intelligent AI character in the story has been reduced to nothing more but a total nuance. Even Bungie made this mistake in Halo 3 with Cortana appearing in your HUD. Like, I can understand having it happen once on the first mission, but to have it happen again and again and again. Its just unfortunate.

2nd: We've been to all these locations in Halo 4 and 5, and have had the Halo ring only mentioned a few times. Why not actually go back to oh gee I don't know:



An actual fucking Halo ring?

I'd love to explore Installation 05 again, or what about the other Installations? 343 has so many Installations to work with. Going back on The Ark in Halo 3, when on the level on the covenant, if I counted correctly there are at least 9 Halo rings that exist. Any one those 9 could easily be used in the story. Maybe you go to Installation 03 or 01 or hell even 07 to pay an homage to old Bungie with their obsession with 7. The possibilities are endless.

Just with these alone could potentially setup the foundation for a decent story to salvage the franchise one last time. The Flood could make a comeback and be released from an Installation no one has set foot on yet. It isn't too late.

Sadly, they will never do this. Chances are Halo 6 is only going to be dumbed down ever further than Halo 5 already is, and I'm sure Microsoft doesn't want Halo to go back to be an M rated title.

Halo's 1-Reach are worth playing along with the anniversary editions of Halo CE and 2 compared to the shit known as 4, 5, and presumably 6.

Unless anyone has a better idea (believe me I'd love to hear it) that would salvage the franchise, this is really the only building blocks I can offer to 343 for a decent story.

Another thing I will never understand is why the actual fuck would 343 hire people who hate Halo? That's like hiring people into your pizza place who hate pizza, its gonna suck!

Anyway, so what do you think? Can Halo 6 possibly redeem itself  and the franchise if done right? Or is it too late? Oh and going back to the art style Bungie used would also be a huge plus with the decent story at best.

Discuss.

6 years old now. RIP Kitty.

Cancer is a bitch. I would watch a lot of Kitty's Gary's Mod stuff back in high school. Including the stuff Dasboshitt put out.

Hey Deci, welcome back

Thank you.

Ayyy Deci.

Ayyyy.

Try and keep yourself busy. Write. Be productive. Review shit.

That's what I plan on doing on the weekend until I go on vacation again. The month of May I'm gonna be building a 2nd Strat type guitar from used guitar parts.

I don't know you but welcome back regardless

Hey a new face! Welcome!

The new people didn't even last a week.

That meme is getting old tbh.

They literally didn't though. Do you see any new faces in this thread or any of the other recent threads?

You're right.

Fuck. Well I guess we only have each other fam.

Also I bought my Reach ranger elite figure from there, was surprised they had Halo merch. Good times.

Who buys Halo stuff at Universal Studios

Nuka.

Also, what are the odds of Deci RP'ing again with this influx of new folk?

Not sure what you mean. I will say this though. I refuse to play Destiny 2, including the trial. The right thing Bungie can do right now is to undo bullshit changes like this where you need the game and play the game to a certain point just to post on their forums.

That shit never happened with Halo, and I highly doubt it was in their contract with Activision to alienate their community.

This was a one company decision.

Welcome back

Thanks.

Right on brother

Right on.

Welcome back dude

Thanks.

hey man

Yo

Watch totally spies with me again lmao

Pass

I dunno man, upon further inspection it doesn't seem like there was that big of a wave of new members. Enough to help breathe a little life back into the site, but I'd be surprised if Sep7 ever returned anywhere close to 2014/2015 levels of activity. I don't think it's going to die right away per say, but at least it's not on life support anymore. But it's not like I'm much of a relevant member anymore lol so my opinion probably means jack squat.

Well its still going. Cheat's still paying for it. I'm fine with this site kinda like being a B.old private group. At least that's how I see it.

That's a good way to look at it.

And honestly, I'm okay with that. It doesn't have to be a big mainstream site. I don't think anyone here really wants that.

It never was, people were just way more active.

True. I wonder if the amount of banning and drama could have caused all that activity to stop? Starting with me. That is still something I regret to this day, but the past is the past.

2014 Sep7agon was the best imo, pre-drama

I completely agree.

Wow, long time no see Decimator.

Ditto.
