Sure, I’ve played all the games, but outside of what’s clearly presented in the games my knowledge of the Halo lore is utterly terrible, except for some random facts and bits of information that I’ve picked up along the way. So it’s important for you to know that this review is going to be entirely from the perspective of someone delving into the collected knowledge and lore of the Halo universe for the first time, experiencing the depth that it has to offer and generally getting slightly confused by it all."
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.
Where did you get this idea that Halsey is Miranda’s mother? I’m a long time Halo fan-I’ve read and own all the books, and I’ve never heard that before.
Secondly, they don’t “split” the battle into two seperate events. They are simply letting you play the same battle from different perspectives.
There are other errors in your review as well. In the future I think it best to either be familiar with the material in question or have someone who is do it.
I also appreciate the views of those who are new to the universe, that wasn't my point. I was just saying that at the least you should make sure that what they're saying is accurate.
I have the Reach Legendary pack and I've read it inside out-I've never read anywhere that Miranda is her daughter. I even pulled out my Oni black box, busted out the diary an double checked. It's not there. No hint, mention or clure.
It's all good, a mistake is just that. But he should correct it.
I stand corrected, I must admit I am really shocked. I have all the books and I'm a huge Halo fan, I can't believe that I didn't know this. Perhaps I forgot it? The Halo universe is very large and very intricate-there's a lot going on there.
My apologies, I was totally wrong but I'm glad that I learned something. Although I must admit, I'm not a fan of the idea that Halsey is her mother. I like the idea of Cortana being more of her child, her "spiritual successor if you will."
