i was just playing halo infinite its got really tight mechanics and it's tons of fun especially with all the new maps';

'>>1211847
I really like Elevation, and Illusion has a neat gimmick, but most of the other maps range from bland to straight ass.
Also, what the fuck were they thinking adding three DMRs to this game? It was bad enough with one overly dominant precision weapon per game.';

It's a fact.
The evolution of the Halo competitive scene is a fantastic example of this.
Independent of the COD brained meta slaving, Halo managed to be devolved into a (worse than) COD-like experience through the competitive playerbase insisting on limited starts and limited weapon type drops.
Halo 3 was peak retardation with the MLG ranked list:
BR (only) starts. No AR, No pistol.
3 weapon pickups on the map: covenant carbine, sniper and missile launcher.
NO grenades
NO equipment
It was just... stupid. And to this day that cancer infects the Halo series.
And this was a fucking Arena/Boomer shooter at it's core.
I don't understand what it is but the idea that left clicking at cookies is peak skill (let alone fun) in these games just baffles me.

MLG aside tho, Halo 3 was the last game in the series to feature a ranked mode with actual basic starts and no self indulgent bullshit.
That all ended with Reach with the DMR starts and has continued to today';

is halo 5 forge offline? It was basically a free multiplayer forge mode before halo 5 was released. This may have even been before any of the other halo games came to PC, come to think of it, unless you count that russian thing. I remember i downloaded it for free from the microsoft store on PC in 2016/17. I just tried to load it up yesterday for the first time in years and it won't even load.';

>all of a sudden?
Halo hasn't had a good game in 15 years and was already on a downward trend before that thanks to Call of Duty exploding in popularity. People only played it because it was the most casual-friendly game on the market. Then easier games came along.';

>all of a sudden
People have not liked halo since reach (although that was more like a 60/40-80/20 dislike ratio) but 343 halo is where it really killed the franchise. They hired people who hated halo to make halo (their words, not mine) so the game became a crappy cod clone in a sea of crappy cod clones. The campaign sucked, both gameplay-wise
>every covenant race was the worse it has ever been in the series.
>the prometheans look like they were made to look cool by someone who is not cool.
>they range from boring to fight (crawlers), to annoying to fight (watchers), to frustrating to fight (knights).
>due to being pushing the xbox 360 to its limit, there was basically no ammo pickups, meaning you are forced to use the light rifle because there is quite literally nothing else to use.
and lore-wise.
>humans were always meant to be forerunners, and a non-canon comic book that no one read and terminals that do not say anything definitive (and bungee did not care about them) that were both written by the future head writer of 343 does not change this.
>"master chief is sad" is a dumb plotline.
>cortana dies, immediately made irrelevant in the next game.
>didact does not die, read the comics lol.
And the multiplayer sucked. A cod-clone that cod players would not play and halo players did not want to play.
Halo 3 one year after launch had over a million players still. Reach a year after launch had over 900,000 players still. Halo4 a year after launch had less than 18,000 players.';

>>humans were always meant to be forerunners
You still get retards arguing to their final breath that this isn't true, as well. I still can't believe 343i has simps and bootlickers.';

'>>1264355
They will regurgitate "comic book/halo 3 terminals" as 'proof' that bungee were not decided that humans were forerunners, despite multiple times throughout the games (and books) where it is either heavily implied, if not outright stated, that humans are forerunners.
>"Reclaimer" literally means someone who reclaims.
>Basically anything guilty spark said in the games.
>Basically anything the prophets say about humans.
>Humans being the only species able to light the rings.
And my favorite.
>The entire reasoning behind the human-covenant war existing in the first place (humans being forerunners mean that their Gods are mortal and weak, and the the great journey is a lie, which would destroy the covenant).
To name a few.';

343 Guilty Spark literally says "You ARE Forerunner" to Master Chief around the ending of Halo 3. That said, tho, Reach wasn't even canon to the books, so the series started going off the rails before it ever landed in 343i's hands';

'>>1264398
Nothing in the books were canon to an extent because bungie did not write them and they did not want to be restricted by lore they did not write in their games.
>343 Guilty Spark literally says "You ARE Forerunner."
Um, actually, Guilty Spark is literally insane, so everything he says in regards to humans being forerunners is him schizo ranting because Master Chief has the spirit of the Iso-Didact, whereas everything not about humans he is perfectly sane (yes this is the unironic retcon reasoning 343 has been using).';

That is 343's reasoning for why guilty spark says "humans are forerunners" multiple times throughout the games lol.';

Yeah and 343's reasoning is dogshit. They even changed the way rampancy works from Bungie's.';
