Halo 5 is the most childish and unrealistic halo to date. Making multiplayer canon is the literally rips the heart and soul out of halo, amongst other things.

“Please! No hurt! Me like Elites! Brutes stinky bad bad!” -Halo 2
such adult. much mature

“We went to Nipple Academy together!” -Halo 3
many intellectual. mucho depth.

No Childishness Here.

Halo has always had childish humor in it. I was in my 20s in the older games released, I remember rather well. There was never a point where “it was part of my childhood and now it’s changed, blasphemy!” (like with Star Wars), I was with it, with an adult perspective the whole time. Admittedly, 343 and Bungie have different senses of humor (Bungie’s a bit more subtle). The games were never mature. The only reason they were rated that way is because they rate games a lot harsher than they do films thanks to scapegoating (“violent behavior linked to video games” nonsense) especially in the late 90s and early 2000s. Hell, when I was growing up, children’s movies were full of death, violence, swearing, innuendo, smoking … go back and watch kids movies from the 80s. They’re rough, man. lol

And multiplayer being canon doesn’t “literally” rip the heart out of Halo because Halo doesn’t have a literal heart. I don’t how that would work, if that would be legal, or where Microsoft would get an actual (I’m assuming human) organ made of tissue, ventricles, valves, etc., that pump blood through … what? Video game code? “Literally” doesn’t mean what you think it means. It has heart … figuratively. The opposite of literal. You’re saying the opposite of what you mean. That’s silly. That’s a silly thing to do. (sorry, Grammar Police, here.)

I know I could have used better wording, but I’m pretty sure you know what I mean. It’s just obnoxious when they canonize multiplayer, especially when they add cheezy intros. I’m not saying halo was all serious or mature, but the level of childishness it is at is too much. The reason I brought up the childishness argument was because the other person was acting like halo 5 wasn’t childish already and that armor effects would change that.

I think the issue would be with the power weapons that give you a boost (like the CE magnum) that applies an armor effect so you can see it as a warning or sorts. If everyone had an armor effect, it’d be hard to spot the person who was packing the actual damage, speed, or … well, like the Nornfang does, for example.

Armor effects were mostly around the head and they didn’t make you glow like mythic weapons or boosts do. Even if it did make it hard to differentiate between them it wouldn’t really make a difference in gameplay. The gameplay of halo 5 isn’t really based around mythic weapons and boots , I think it’s kind of a stretch to say it would mess with the gameplay. It’s kind of obvious if someone has a boost or a mythic and adding a little lightning or something around your head wouldn’t really mask a person with a mythic weapon, unless 343 completely butchers it and makes the armor effects ugly ,bright, glowing auras around you like mythic weapons do, which is probably what will end up happening. 343 seems to be great at taking what was good in the older halos, and completely slaughtering it to the point that it’s just an insult to the original fans. This pretty much happens every time 343 tries to put their own spin on something good, they just end up ruining it.

I agree it would be amazing

In all honesty, Arctic Terra and everyone on his side of the argument, they can produce a Halo as realistic as they want in whatever generation they want, but it will never be REAL. Halo is a fiction-based game. A majority of stuff in it, in fact, does not exist.

All you players who take Halo seriously, then hey, nothing like a little competition in RANKED matches or in COMPETITIVE custom games. On the other hand, all you Halo players who take it too serious and/or realistically, then you are better off playing something like BF1, CS:GO, etcetera. Anything Nonfiction-based. The Halo story and multiplayer, no matter how bad you want it to be realistic and extremely serious, will be fiction-based and have those little neat enjoyments and accomplishments in them.

The canon of multiplayer is somewhat ridiculous and extremely hypocritical. “No more weird/childish addition in multiplayer,” and, “We need to make it realistic and serious.”
Then there are pizza skins. Then, there are all the other additions that Halo is built around. TOTALLY REALISTIC! (Sarcasm)

If they affected your game-play experience in REACH, then STOP wearing them. If you are just going to complain about it’s obviousness in SWAT and stuff like that, then stop wearing them. Alternatively, you could, if Halo 5 or 6 added effect, start a post on a client-side on/off switch for them. WIN-WIN ya know what I mean?

Enjoy Halo why you can, everyone. Eventually the story will come to an end, and a new game will take it’s place. Any and all regrets you all have about a decision made by a majority of the community will be ignored. Think carefully about neat-o decisions to see how it affects your later Halo fandom. You might want to get all the amazing ideas, trashed by many if not all, thought… two, three, four times.

Halo reach was a amazing game just like halo CE or 1,2,3,3odst now reach brought new features for the player to experience with the player had a verity of options from armor lock to jet packs tbh reach was a good game I pre ordered reach I played it 1 day early I love the armor affects that I got legendary flames and I got the limited time eternal flames

410

They are cool, but I think they might be a bit of a distraction. However the in depth armor customization from Reach should definately make a comeback. As far as armor mods, I could go either way, as long as they werent absurdly flashy.

411

I wouLD LOVE EFFECTS

412

I would like a dead zone effect. Cancels out all other effects in a certain range so no more spartan charging.

413

maybe the size might effect it

414

I agree Freeman.If they brought it back,one it would add a whole new section with new effects.Two,if they did,they should add ACTUAL buffs to them.

415

halo reach was definently the meatiest halo game by a longshot, and particle effects are definetely on the loooong list of feature they need in halo 5, first of all gimme my damn needle rifle back, also my focus rifle, and my plasma repeater, and my concussion rifle, and fully customizable firefight, and a comprehensive and usable forge world, and armor effects, and full customizable armor, and my revnant and my flying warthog (falcon) and seargent stacker, (sorry for my atrocious spelling) and custom emblems, and a satisfying campaign, and the the price gun of death (the orbital strike marker that looks a lot like a price gun) and brutes (idc how just work it into the story) also for the love of god make the prometheans less lame , and codpieces, why doesnt the armor have codpeices anymore there is no valid reason for you to remove codpeices, and black undersuits, serioiusly, halo 5s armor was ugly as hell, it didnt look tactical, it didnt look like a super soldier, it looked like a -Yoink!-, litterally everything looked cooler iin reach, just give us halo: reaching a little further, btw halo 5 was lit

416

also if johnson’s lines arent as good and creative as halo 2 i will burn down 343, Usually the good Lord works in mysterious ways. But not today! This here is sixty-six tons of straight up, H-E-spewing dee-vine intervention! If God is love, then you can call me Cupid!"

417

but we dont need another thing to grind for in halo 5 considering how much the effects costed in reach

418

I liked them especially the grunt birthday party when you died

419

it would bw awesome to have them, i never did in halo reach but they sure looked cool

420

i would like fire like blue flames like on reach
