Remember when Halo didn’t suck? Seriously, Halo Reach came out 10 years ago.
Give the license to ID Software.. seeing as Microsoft now own themI think MS would have been better off just releasing the game and giving the license to another studio or letting 343 do something new. Shit, let Obsidian make a weird Halo universe RPG or something.
I dunno, it's just hard to shake the feeling that the genre has moved on. Post Doom Eternal and Titanfall I'm not sure that I want to play a new Halo Campaign unless the story is excellent. And if I want Halo-style pvp I think I'd be better off going back to Destiny 2 for a spell.

I could honestly give a fuck less about Halo. Never understood the hype for the series
Say what? There are always things to be done when you've a hatchet and a Nazi. Dark Dragon is unimpressed.I have like no urge to play fps shooters after Doom Eternal, for real. If I get the itch, I'll just move it to the ssd again. It's made Wolfenstein and all those type games obsolete for me.
You're only off by about a decade..Halo was cool when goldeneye was the best multiplayer on console. Now it’s trash they keep trying to resurrect to tempt the nostalgia crowd. The sad thing is if they had stayed invested in fable the arpg crowd might have had a reason to care about Xbox/Microsoft but they keep trying to compete with the fps crowd that had moved on significantly in gaming style.
I generally think this all goes back to Microsoft’s lack of gaming sense. SSDD for the whole “Xbox media center” malarkey.
Yeah, 343 has just tried to continue where Bungie left off, only they aren't talented enough. I really like the idea of an open world on a ring, but there needs to be a good reason/story for it.I think MS would have been better off just releasing the game and giving the license to another studio or letting 343 do something new.

People shit on Reach so hard when it came out. They talked about how it ruined the franchise, or how the franchise hadn't been good since Halo 3.Remember when Halo didn’t suck? Seriously, Halo Reach came out 10 years ago.
I loved everything Bungie did, including Reach. I never got to finish it though as my 360 died. I picked it up on Steam but I haven't touched it since they fixed the audio issues. I'll finish the campaign one day.People shit on Reach so hard when it came out. They talked about how it ruined the franchise, or how the franchise hadn't been good since Halo 3.
It stood the test of time, and it's widely acknowledged as an excellent game, now. I loved it when it came out, and didn't understand all the hate on boards like this one. I find both the mainstream and hardcore videogame communities grossly unreliable when it comes to reviewing Halo games.
Nevertheless, when Bungie left the franchise, I followed.
Ya where is Craig?They're missing a very important character from those screens.

I played the first two levels as part of the MCC collection recently. I was gobsmacked by how much easier the levels were than Halo 2, which I recently beat again on Legendary on the MCC for fun, but that may be due to an unanticipated effect of the remaster on opponent response times with the framerate in the first two games (the beam rifle Jackals became ungodly).I never played Reach, but I did play 1-3 as well as 4, and 4 was one of the most forgettable games I have ever played in my life.

You're only off by about a decade..
Halo 3 which was the peak of the series.. released in 2007. Goldeneye 1997..
Halo Reach, which was very well regarded, released in 2010.
Anyway, have you not noticed that a new Fable is being developed..?
Even if he means Goldeneye.. Halo didn't truly reach peak popularity until several years later.I think he meant Perfect Dark which dropped in 2000. Halo was 2001.
