Summary

I made a video that perfectly explains what the store is.

Spread it far and wide.

Wait till the end

Redacted

Edit: the video is in meme format. The title and video are ment to be a joke of the situation. The situation being that I feel like Halo is more cartoonish/feminine/bright/colorful/Fortnite like now. I feel Halo is moving towards a fornite structure of things each update

This literally explains nothing?

Halo is based on the military. In the military skins and flower petals and frilly things of the like don’t exsist in that atmosphere. I showed an old scene of Halo to highlight the stark contrast of what Halo originated from to what it is now with the joke at the very end

Where do you see flowers and frilly things? I only saw Sgt. Badass in the video.

But halo has had the primates and Buck’s pet “monkey” along with flaming heads, skulls in helmets, and a skull that makes birthday noises when you headshot a grunt. Halo can definitely be serious, but it is funny a good chunk of the time.

Didn’t explain anything, just another video bashing the store. Not only that, you compared a campaign cinematic to a Multiplayer affect, instead of… I dunno, comparing the multiplayer to each other?

This whole thread reminds me of a video asking “If Quake Was Done Today” I found a while back.

Yeah back in the day Halo CE had super manly hot pink armor as a color option, and now look at us.

There is a fine line. A flaming head is not the same as cat ears.

A lighting cloud around you from reach is not the same as flower foot steps.

It doesn’t even remotely fit what Halo is. It goes far past “funny”. It’s honestly a joke to me and it’s one of the biggest reasons I can’t take this game seriously

You had a choice to pick that color tho. Now its in a bundle. It’s pretty clear Halo shifted fully into Fortnite territory

I see Johnson giving his Halo 1 speech followed up with a meme laugh and a picture of the new effect that’s tied to Japanese culture.

Are you suggesting we laugh at cultural influences and that’s what makes Halo players men?

The difference is there. There is no denying that. Cat ears is one thing but this is just another sign of them moving into that Fortnite direction. You may disagree now but any update can keep proving otherwise.

Again. This is another scenario of “it just doesn’t fit”.

I’m not knocking what it is by itself. I’m not even knocking the cat ears. I’m saying it’s too far. I don’t want to see that stuff when I’m playing. Other Halo games respect that. It’s already bad enough I can’t turn off that orange skull some people use. With every addition it just get more silly looking. Less spartan like

You obviously have never been in the military.

I’m sorry but I really don’t like it. As much as I don’t like the game I want to spend money on skins and at every turn I’m smaked in the face with yet another armour I don’t want. Basics first man. Atleast that. I just want to choose my color in peace and choose a semi decent SPARTAN looking armour. Like a version ofar v or something. You know. Halo armour

Halo was never a man’s game. It was always a game for everyone.

Halo Reach had the heart attack armor effect or whatever it was called. Hearts floating around your spartan isnt very manly

I’m pretty sure it was rated M back in the days. I didn’t see Halo until an adult showed it to me back then. Not everyone was playing rated M games back then. I’m talking 15 years ago
