With Master Chief looming on the horizon, Prima Games names some of the most wanted features for the sequel.
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.
balance and this time put in a classic playlist at launch if your going to go all new and current in gameplay completely throwing out how it used to be please. Don't wait until everyone that wanted the old gameplay to leave and then add it in when the population is so low. Remember where the series came from, that's what we loved from Halo 1-3 / Reach we want that yes you can put your fling on it and upgrade it but make sure you don't completely tarnish the balance and competitive play it brought.
A core playlist set built from the ground up adhering to the Golden Trifecta; Gunplay/Melee/Grenades (AND VEHICLES).
Power weapons ON THE MAP
No armor abilities
Keep sprint and assassinations
No Specializations, Ordnance Drops
The return of the expanded feature set trinity, Theater, Forge (a fully fledged map editor would be nice!), Fileshare (Features sets that have yet to be matched by any shooter besides Halo)
No white XP pop-ups, just medals
An expanded, yet refined sandbox of weapons, balanced against redundancies (Scattershot vs Boltshot, GOODBYE Suppressor! You were useless.)
More Flood please! (Heh Heh)
The ability to play as the covenant or promethins in multiplayer or better yet switch it from 2 teams against each other to 3.have 12 v 12 v 12 battles.i keep bringing up gears overrun mode that was one of the best multiplayer modes of any game I've seen we need more of that but in a grander scale.overrun with 32 v 32 would be beast.
i would love a really dark tone to the story..more gore and violence too...more weapons and new enemies.
