3rd times a charm, halo 6 may be the best yet.

Let’s hope so.

If you think about it, the original trilogy and this one share a lot in common. The second game was just filler for the main story, the second game had extremely well reviewed multiplayer. First game introduced us to a new world and new enemies with no real understanding of what was going on. First game’s story is pretty well reviewed. Halo 6 certainly has the possibility to be Halo 3 again.

I’m not so sure about that, Halo 5 was the third time charm remember? (The 343 Games: Halo 4 - Halo MCC - Halo 5) We all saw how they treat us nostalgic Bungie made Halo players with MCC, broken multiplayer and an allover broken game. If you are looking towards the future of Halo I can say you will like Halo 6, but if you are like most of us (as I can tell by the quote), you will not have the same Halo-esque feeling campaign as games are shifting more of their attention to Multiplayer these days.

But, I don’t want to be a pessimist about the fact because just maybe 343 x Microsoft will give us the game we all want. To back that up think of Halo 5’s campaign as the middle campaign the bridge between four and six, but even with that Halo 2 was a classic… just goes to show how times have changed. It’s about quantity not quality in 343 x Microsofts eyes.

> I didn’t feel like I was playing a ‘Halo Campaign.’

In my humble opinion, having taken in all consideration for all view points, theories, and possible reasons for the flaws within Halo 5 campaign, have come to the conclusion that it is a transition story. I truly believe that the market campaign advertising was a little deceptive, but I believe those are future events that we as players will experience. I, as a truly dedicated Halo fan, find my self being patient, for a good story should never be rushed. Because you want to have a game last, a story to fester, a histiry to be historic. If 343 had to make a massive and somewhat sacrificial decision to ensure the longevity of Halo, then it’s best that they did. Could they have done a better job, yes. But they’re only human and they are still experimenting.

Has 343 given any hints as to when it’s coming out?

Not too hyped tbh from what I’ve seen.

As you know, this community shrunk to almost nothing in three months. Halo 3 averaged a population of 100,000+ at times, and Halo 4 had only 30,000- after three months.

> 3rd) was MCC. This should go unmentioned. This game was terrible. The only good thing about it was the H2 anniversary graphics, and that was subbed out to a third party to make… NOT 343. They should have just made a Halo 2 anniversary. I feel as though that game would have been way better, and probably still played more than Halo 5.

> 4th) Halo 5. The lowest sales in Halo history, terrible UI, unorganized reqs, no earned armor unlocks, terrible story that has not been given any praise, unplayable BTB, ranked only arena, scares game modes, no split screen, too much emphasis on HCS rather than the majority of the community, terrible warzone maps, dedicated 343 fans who piss everyone off when they comment to posts like this (which I sure they will), Prometheans, Sarah Palmer lol, and so much more. Halo 5 could have been good, but they screwed up too much. Games are supposed to make you happy, but this game does the opposite. I have never in my life scram at a game out of anger, but I do over Halo 5 most times I play.

> I always said Halo would be my favorite, and that nothing could turn me away from it. I was wrong thanks to 343. I have given them too many chances. Halo 5 is my last Halo game ever. Too many other game are looking more fun, and are more fun for that matter. Because of this, I have determined Halo a waste of money.

I fail to see what made Halo:CEA, Reach, and 4 an absolute catastrophe. MCC yes could have done just fine with just Halo 2A and 2A multiplayer. I agree with quite a few points you’ve made about Halo 5 though. I’m not holding my breath on 6 but we can hope the best (expect the worst and you won’t be disappointed.) (Plus if your screaming at a game just because of something you don’t like or is not working, theirs always that shiny power button.)

Most likely 2017 with another Halo (like ODST or Reach) game coming out this year, maybe Halo Wars being this years game?

happy

Transition stories always get the worst Rep. Look at Mass Effect 2. It was a bridge story. I loved it though, but so many people hated it and complained it was just a babysitting errand story. Yes and no. What it was at the end if you did the loyalty missions took the time to raise your team at the end you get a good ending which transfers to ME2. If you neglected your team well, pretty straight forward. Obviously 2 different style of games but the principle is the same. 5 is getting harped on for some logical reasons and some for ridiculous reasons because some people just like to complain and can’t see what bit of good is in something.

Yeah I agree for the most part, but look at Halo 2, It was a transition story. It was lengthy, several aspects of the game changed but it still kept the complete vibe of a great halo and through the effort to keep it close to CE it became a great success for many many years. The issue will Halo 5 is that they keep changing too much from game to game, they loose the good ideas and they support change into a faster multiplayer game. If they keep heading that way Halo 6 will probably feel a lot like Advanced Warfare or Blops 3.

Highly unlikely, 343 takes to much influence from players and has “MLG” testers (wtf kind Devs do that). So “IMO” I doubt it, they will make a mistake that goes to far in one direction or the other. Granted in due credit, their games have some good one way or the other.

I agree with you that it was indeed a Halo campaign, but it did not feel like one. I know exactly what you mean. I do also agree with you in regards that there was ALOT left out. I’m pretty sure that 343i has begun thinking about Halo 6 (as I hope they have), and those events we experienced in Hunt the Truth and so on will all wind up coming into the light in the next game. I am really hoping so.

Maybe halo 6 will do snap map and enemy A.I. from doom to forge.

As long as they fire Brian Reed.

I agree, however us in the community need to do our part to support them. I feel that 343 rushed Halo 5 because of us. We wanted the game sooner rather then later. We as a community were always when are we getting more info, and just after we got a good amount of it. A lot of series games recently have felt rushed due to gameplay, story lacking.Though I have fully enjoyed Halo 5, I felt the campaign was lacking. Only three missions with Chief? I would have enjoyed a mission were we got to explore around like we did with Osiris. I am sure we could have learn more about what is going on in the Halo universe since Halo 4.

Halo 6 puede ser un buen juego si 343 quiere

They need someone that KNOWS how to make a mature halo story

That guy quit and ran with his tail between his legs look it up. Which is good but they need a good writer to make halo 6 epic.
