Bitmob's Patrick O'Rourke Said,
The Halo series has had a profound effect on my life. For some gamers it's Mario, for others it's Solid Snake or Marcus Fenix. For me, it's the Master Chief. He's my god, my messiah, my North Star. I even have a little action figure that constantly looks down on me from a shelf on my desk.
Seriously though...I really like Halo.
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
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
Well, I can't relate to Master Chief being my God or Messiah or anything, but I have enjoyed the Halo series over the years. Though I still hold Halo 3 was overhyped and the critics heaped a bit too much praise on it, but that's just my personal opinion. I still enjoyed Halo 3, though.
In summary for me for what halo is 10 years later = FUN :D
I just can't stop thinking about Assault on the Control Room and Two Betrayals remastered!
Halo to me is a game that really has not updating it's gameplay style for over 10 years....... But it is still F***ing AWESOME!
Well halo was and wasnt my first game for the xbox . in fact it got trashed on accident christmas of 01. so my first game played was muches odd world. truth be told when i got to play halo that same day at my brothers place . im like this game is retarded.couldnt get the gist of that big ass controller. But when i got my hands on another copy . Halo became an obsession of mine . halo 1,2,3 were more my mario than mario was my mario back in the early 90's. So this series is something that i hold dearest to my gaming heart.Im glad that a bunch of artist left bungie to continue the saga for 343I. And i am exstatic about halo returning . ive got 3/4 spartans ready to put a dent into this game come this winter.
