A Garbage Retrospective Of Halo - General

[QUOTE=God of Ashes;51400917]i'm one of those weirdos that really liked the library also i believe halo 5 has the best multiplayer of the series[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say I liked the Library, but I always felt like Keyes was a much, much worse level with a stupid, confusing layout. [editline]21st November 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Sims_doc;51401370]I think without a doubt Halo reach killed the Halo series after that you've either got to ignore it completely or work with it and that's what Halo 4 did they worked with the mess that was Halo reach. Other than the game mechanics from Halo reach, Halo 4 was fun and had an interesting plot.[/QUOTE] My favourite part of Halo 4's plot was it not making any god damn sense if you weren't intimately familiar with a bunch of expanded universe stuff. It was clearly written by hardcore fanboys for hardcore fanboys, leaving people who just played the games to have fun in the dust.

I just want armor to not look like hard plastic. Halo 4 and 5 multiplayer character customization means nothing when it looks like they forgot to thin the paints on every armor.

[QUOTE=Baileyboys;51402609]Facepunch has always hated Halo. I'm surprised it still gets posted on here. It's always a circlejerk about how bad the series is now.[/QUOTE] I don't like playing halo. Just don't find it fun compared to other shooters. The campaigns enjoyable, but when it comes to multiplayer, I'm more of a coked up arena shooter kind of person. But you know what? I respect it. Under Bungie, it didn't change for the sake of change. Both in single and multiplayer. It stayed true to what it was. No iron sights. A good weapons mix. Good mechanics. Great maps. Excellent matchmaking and other online features. Couple that with good storytelling, a well fleshed out universe, and an incredible orchestral score, and you've got a winner. So what if they aren't exactly my cup of tea. So what if they all had their share of issues. They were, and are, good games.

[QUOTE=God of Ashes;51400917]i'm one of those weirdos that really liked the library also i believe halo 5 has the best multiplayer of the series[/QUOTE] the library is great if you prepare and actually get decent guns beforehand, you actually end up actually thinking about strategy halo 5 mp is plenty of fun, but it's sure different

I like the library because it's so batshit insane, it really puts you to the test. As well as being all alone, save for some crazy AI and a bunch of mutated enemies and friends that all want to swarm you.
