Here's your enigma for today: 343 Industries is in the market for a software development engineer to help "drive the future of Halo", a process that involves work with "external partners". Another hint, perhaps, that talk of a third-party developed Halo 2 Anniversary reboot is more than talk?
How do composers make the iconic music tracks from games that we love? And just what makes them so memorable?
A former 343 developer has revealed that mountains of Halo pitches failed to be approved, including a return to ODSTs and a push for more intimate, dark themes.
Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.
I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.
To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.
Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
With its smooth jazz and iconic New Mombasa streets, we need Xbox's next Halo game to return to the remarkable world of Halo 3: ODST.
Nightmarish thought: they've partnered with Spark Unlimited, Capcom's go-to guy for terrible reboots.
My guess is Certain Affinity is working on Halo 2 Anniversary and future Halo 5 content (e.g. Forge)
Well, here's hoping the quality doesn't go all to hell.
In a way I'm glad that H2A is possibly coming this year to give more time to make Halo 5 even more amazing, but I also think that people want their first experience on the xbox1 to be a proper next gen game and I don't know if they can make it feel next gen enough especially if theyre just using the same engine from H2 but HCEA looked really amazing.
If they do make it tho, it needs to have the original multiplayer. Even tho I do like all the Halos for different reasons, the population is rapidly decreasing and I'm not sure if that's because of the changes or if its because that Halo is not as relevant as it once was. H2A would become a testing phase to see if it can come close to seeing H2 population and make it a base for Halo 5 but with some minor changes to make it feel fresh at the same time.
inb4 Halo gets its own "Other M"
Certain Affinity are definitely involved with this one way or another.
