XMNR: Microsoft revealed the official box art for Halo 4 on Monday and it immediately got us thinking about the box art for all the previous games in the series including the spin-offs. Let's have some fun by looking back at how the art for the series has evolved over the last decade.
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.
Oh my, that Halo 4 boxart is breath-taking.
Btw, here it is in HD glory--> http://i.imgur.com/QMx75.jp...
^Sexy stuff.
I had no idea that when 343 wanted to give us their version of halo, that they were also giving us GREAT box art.
And lets face it, some people still do buy games by looking at the cover art.
Go DAMN that's a nice cover. The only previous Halo cover i liked was Halo Wars (regular, not limited), but this one is god-like.
Now i'll have to make posters of the OXM railgun Halo 4 cover AND this one.
Wow.....that is amazing art 0.0
