There's a reason for that

Grim is a better community manager than the community manager.

I think that if the only things to complain about when this launches are how they used the H4 Elites and that the colour scheme actually has colour then that'll be great.

343i a shit

As if BUNGiEvisiom is any better

The Bungie that made Halo was certainly better.

My problem is the story. It just seems like bad fan-fiction. You know when 'Halo Follower' makes accurate predictions about the story, something is off.

This implies Halo 3/ Reach had good stories. Anything made from here on out is never going to be worse than those.

It absolutely does not imply that.

Not to mention, Halo 3 contains the greatest piece of Halo fiction ever published.

I genuinely laughed out loud here. Halo 3 doesn't even make sense of you actually pay attention to it

I'm not talking about the story. Halo 3's story is shit.

Well what else about the 'fiction' is there in Halo 3? The terminals? I'm trying to understand what makes halo 3 the best fiction.

I said Halo 3 contains the best piece of Halo fiction ever produced. So, yes, I was talking about the terminals.

Bungie always did this, Take Destiny for example, excellent and pretty interesting lore and writing...the game? Its a bag of shitty cunts!

Even though we need a human to activate the Halo array and Earth is filled with them lets not take s single one with us when we leave to the Ark. If the UNSC didn't fallow Truth through that portal they really wouldn't have any thing to worry about from the thing since Truth tried to use Johnson which implies he didn't bring any from Earth. What do people see in Bungie?

Hey! See that guy who has extreme muscle deterioration from spending his life sitting down? Well give him a weapon most people would struggle to lift and make him a ninja that can sneak around a group in about 3 seconds even though he didn't need to!

Also, lets see two people to decide the future of a galaxy, instead of an entire platoon of marines, then make sure the only backup is a pelican that can crash through glass instea d that entire fleet of aircraft you have been using to wage war outside!

GG Bungie. GG.

Even though I could have done this at any moment I'm going to have this human and elite kill Truth for me.(I'm talking about how the Gravemind had infested the room Truth was in but for some odd reason he didn't smack Truth around with his tentacles or bring the room down.)

Also, lets see two people to decide the future of a galaxy, instead of an entire platoon of marines, then make sure the only backup is a pelican that can crash through glass instea d that entire fleet of aircraft you have been using to wage war outside!

To make it even worse she had no idea where he was at to begin with. For all she knew he could have been splattered by her and is now under the ship. You see him diving out of the way which implies she went in there blinded.

Sorry, I did not see either of your replies until now.

That's actually kind of sad

I don't see how that could be taken as "sad". The Halo franchise isn't exactly known for its masterful storytelling - that was never the focus at Bungie.

if you think the terminals are better than every game, book, comic and all the other shit they've done.

The amount of 'shit' Microsoft produces doesn't change the fact that it's still shit. Books, TV series, or otherwise.

Though they're better than Halo 3 and Reach.

You don't need to include this, I agree with you. Stop fishing for an argument.

Bungie has always done this. Take Destiny for example. Interesting lore and universe...the game? A bag of shitty cunts!

[brb fixing your post's faults because OCD]

I had never thought of that, actually. I mean, it's only consistent with Halo 3, but an interesting point, nonetheless...

I don't really think it's fair to assume every piece of halo media has shit storytelling. Unless you have read everything in which case disregard.

There was a similar thing with Reach's datapads, too. Even if they completely went against everything we knew about anything.

Fuck you dragon halo is the worst game ever made

It has to do with the gameplay of Halo itself than the current state of it. I find large scale combat a lot more exciting than what I do with Halo which it doesn't do. Warzone looks promising on that part but I don't know until I play it. For the killtimes by the time I kill somebody I'm already bored of playing. I would rather have faster killtimes than dicking around while doing it.

For the campaign like I said you encounter enemies in small groups which I find boring. I would rather have large epic battles than spending minutes walking down a path to each encounter. So far we never had any large encounter and when it comes to vehicles we encounter a few at a time and it's never large. The only time we seen anything large scale in Halo is in those live actions trailers which the game doesn't live up to and those demo videos of things that didn't make it. Like I said above the killtimes also apply to this. Instead of the campaign having it's own weapon damge we use the MP balance which to me fails in the campaign. For the difficulty instead of the enemies being smarter and the encounters being different it's just handled lazily. All the enemies are bullet sponges, they are the highest rank and the damge they do is increased and your health and damge are lowered. When you have a game where it takes time to kill something increasing the amount of time to kill is just dumb and boring.
