Halo itself and what it's become.

Ya know…throughout my gaming experience in Halo, I play all the campaigns. Seeing all the big changes in the game has really advanced, and I know how much more mind blowing it’s become. I love the Halo games for it’s campaign, mainly, and seeing how it all leads up to Halo 5. Halo 1, I just enjoy it overall, getting used to the gameplay, and learning how to play. My favorite thing about Halo one was the design of the Covenant. I wanted to play as them, they were really cool to me. Halo 2…WAS THE BOMB!!! I loved Halo 2 because you got to play as the Covenant, and so forth. I thought seeing Gravemind was sweet as well. Halo 3 is another Halo I liked because of being able to STILL play as the Covenant. The only thing I didn’t really like was the destruction of The Flood. To me? The Flood was a cool type of Organism/Character/Being/Team Faction in the game series itself. When I beat that game, I was all like “yeah! That’s how it’s done!” Now? It’s changed, but I’ll get to that later. Halo 3 ODST and Halo Reach was pretty cool, but never really got into it. I think I beat it, though. Lol, Halo 4! It was awesome, I thought the campaign had an amazing journey to it, along with the action. Seeing the Forerunner as a new enemy/team faction was not horrid…but horridly AWESOME!!! The way they were built, used to be human, changed appearance, but they were evil, and I wondered how it would feel playing as them, you know? Then I played Multiplayer…no Covenant. Sad Face WHY IS THERE NO PLAYABLE COVENANT!!! Hahah, it kind of boggled my mind good. I’m a fan of the Covenant. Now I know everyone loves Masterchief, but some people should love Arbiter and the Covenant like me, right? I mean come on, playing as the Covenant was cool! Oh well…guess it was to see what happened to Chief. Halo 5! Here is my big opinion on this game! It was pretty cool…lol. I love the graphics, everything about it is sweet! Like playing as Osiris, playing as Blue Team, Locke vs Masterchief/the Legend, and my biggest happiness? I GOT TO SEE ARBITER!!! I was like “YOOOO!!! OMG, IT’S ARBITER!!! THAT’S HOW HE LOOKS, MATT???” Hahah, I was talking to my big brother when I saw him, and thought it was amazing. I couldn’t believe to see him in the game. The Warden himself busted out a cool new look to the Forerunner, and such. All skeleton looking, it was pretty amazing. Now we get back to The Flood, and the rest of my bad-ish opinions of the Halo series now. We can’t play as the Covenant…where did that ever go? I’m pretty sure a majority of Halo players loved playing as them in multiplayer, and campaign. The Flood! To be honest…after Halo 3, like I said, I was siked to defeat them. Now? I feel as if Halo just isn’t really there anymore. Not saying I won’t play them anymore, but what I’m saying is that, now that I notice, The Flood was a pretty cool team faction. When I was playing Halo 3? They gave me a challenge…they gave me something to raaaaage about! That last level on Halo 3 was annoying, lol. Like…damn! I thought it to be too tough for me to even finish on Legendary, but alas, I finished it. Took me a good while, though. All in all, I just wanna believe that a piece of The Flood is still there somewhere in the Halo world…even if they really ain’t. I want them to come back again is all. I could just imagine 4 team factions fighting it out! The Flood, Forerunners, Humans, and Covenant. It would be a pretty big battle. A few other things are…we don’t really get anything for completing this Halo 5 except for achievements. Like, “yoooo, I completed the game. Wooo, all I got are achievements, and nothing special. Amazing…that’s pretty darn cool to bust my brain off to earn just achievements”, you know? Wish you could earn REQ points for completing campaign, and get something special for completing it on Legendary. I have to say, though! The armor and everything for multiplayer is awesome, and all the new stuff. If I left anything out, guys…feel free to shove a piece of your own mind in it, or just like this if you thought my insight of how Halo is now to be true. The Flood, Covenant, so forth. All in all, have a great day, Halo Fans/Gamers/Everybody! Lol.

P.S! 343? Kudos to ya’ll. You’re all awesome, and I love your games. They’re an amazing franchise. I just hope for some features to come back. Keep on Haloin’ on! :smiley:

I never liked playing as the covenant. I kill the covenant. Arbiter will get his one day too… One day arbiter… I just won’t ever trust you… Lol

see people have different opinions.

Lol, yeah. Everyone has different opinions. I don’t think Arbiter will betray Masterchief like Cortana tried to, and I don’t like how Masterchief and the Arbiter didn’t say anything to eachother at the end of Halo 5. That’s one thing that got me in Halo 5. Cortana KNOWS Masterchief is able to stop her, and IS the only one who can. But the way she tried to stop him from doing so? Geez, harsh for a friendship. I see Masterchief and Arbiter as brothers. You may kill the Covenant…but you’re killing the right Covenant, the bad ones. Arbiter is apart of the good Covenant. Yet, when Locke spoke to Arbiter, Arbiter said that Chief is a legend in his OWN words by saying “yet now you hunt another spartan. The greatest of your clan.” :slight_smile:

I’ll include two links here you can check out of him speaking to Locke about Chief and Arbiter’s friendship.

Hahah. Thanks, man. You too, eh? Halo is one of the most bomb games I have played any ways! :smiley:

For sure, dude. 343 did a great job to keep every bodies wonders up, and going about what will happen next. Halo is the bomb. :slight_smile:

In some cases the game is awful, but it’s still one of the best games out there. You should keep on battling, and show you’re a Legend yourself. I do all the time. I can’t wait till Halo 6 comes out. :slight_smile:

I love the series. It holds, and always will hold a special place in my heart. I love halo 5, too.

That being said, I dont feel that same “feeling” as I used to when I played 1 through 3. I can’t explain it, but im sure there are others that feel the same.

For sure, man. I love all of them in certain ways. Halo in general will always be great. :slight_smile:

I still love all of them, doesn’t mean I am not critical. Some issues are worth addressing and others are completely full of grunt nips

Couldn’t agree more.

I loved playing as arbiter and as the covenant XD but i also like playing as spartans. Halo 3 in my opinion was one of the best halo games because in multiplayer you could play as arbiter XD, and i also just liked the whole story line to it as well. A down side to it would be the flood because we eliminated them but they would get on my nerves sometime lol. as i am noticing i am very similar to you _

I can tell you’re passionate and that’s great, it’s kind of what is special about Halo. You just get these memories playing through all the games and it’s been such a long journey from CE to 5 that it really is quite spectacular how far we have come.

I hear what you mean that Halo doesn’t quite feel like Halo without the flood, or playable elites. They were staples of the experience and you never quite know how much they mean until it’s gone. But now a lot of people I think are starting to realise just how important the little things are. Like the old school emblem system or file share and Campaign theater.

On the whole I appreciate you writing down how you feel and I hope that down the line 343i will be able to integrate the more classic Halo experience with all of their new game mechanics.

Yeah! I mean if it wasn’t for Halo, Xbox wouldn’t have been quite popular
