Then play Halo 2 if you think it was perfect.

Beat me to it, was just about to say what is this a H2 lobby?

You say this with no proof, like they arenât going to add more Halo things too.
Believe it or not, it still is, Campaign is all about that, MP still has that, it just has some extra options for flair.
Opinion, Halo Reach and 3 were better, but this isnât a point you can argue.

If you walk into a boot camp in real life right now. Will you see flower petals falling from players shoes? Or will you see dirt flying up from their boots as they run in the dirt?
How about you give it a try and tell me.

I know Iâm more likely to see flowers flying up than flaming footsteps, but you donât seem to say anything about the flames. Seems youâre a little bias on what unrealistic things you oppose.

Halo has never been a gritty game. Saturated colors, color palettes that bucked the norm to give you visual indicators of enemy rank, weaponry, and prowess, variations on environments that set itself apart in visceral ways unlike the desaturated grey/brown/rust palettes of the day.
There are gritty parts yes, and the UNSC equipment (up till Halo 4 and 5, in some parts Infinite) showed off this grit, but âgrittyâ is not at all how I would describe Halo to someone whoâs never played it. My gf even calls it âthat bright colorful game you likeâ and thatâs from seeing Reach gameplay with went with an intentional desaturated tone.
Maybe you will be, but for now like most of your topics and responses, itâs baseless or factually incorrect opinion.
We donât have Johnson anymore, but the Marinesâ banter reflects and has always reflected that tone. Halo wasnât meant as a military sim, it was a larger than life sci-fi powertrip simulator. The military bravado was cranked up not to give you the idea you were in a warzone, but to lend some character to the overly used bland trope of being in the military. Itâs why Cortanaâs sarcasm and overt casual tone stands out, and why the Chiefâs character doesnât try to overpower Johnsonâs.

Itâs not a matter of will they. Itâs âwhy is this a priority over those Halo thingsâ.
Why would I play a campaign I donât even like?
Halo 3 is still apart of the originals. Some could even argue reach because of how gritty it was. Either way that point is on my side. Reguardless of how you feel about my post you agree that Halo 3 and Halo reach did it more right in terms of atmosphere than the rest.
What am I suppose to say? If I already donât like the petals what makes you think I donât like the flames either? I already said I donât like the skull thing when you die. I donât like any of it. Any of the effects but I was ok with it in reach because it only went so far. I seen people wear the storm thing and sometimes the heart thing but it was very little. Itâs was a sprinkle. A dash of sillines. Now there is samrui looking armour. Multiple types. Odd coating selections. Cat ears. Flower petals. Flaming head. Flaming foot steps. Itâs all just TOO much for me
So the issue is people are using them more? Because if itâs just you saw them less, then thatâs on the community not 343 or Bungie. In Reach anyone could equip those silly effects and bright pink if they wanted. Maybe you saw less people doing it, but is that really the devs fault?

Itâs obviously not since theyâve only had 2 bundles that you could argue arenât âHaloâ (these being cat ears and the other being mister chief.)⌠I canât really argue on Yaroi content since 343i has labeled them as fractures and at that point is simply whether or not you approve of them.
Donât even know why youâre playing a MP you donât seem to like, but my point was that Halo is still Halo, itâs still your scifi space shooter.
I said Halo 3 and Reach were better than 2. I think Infinite maintains a similar atmosphere to reach, itâs just marred by some questionable (awful) mechanics⌠and choices, such as having no earnable cosmetics among other things such as a questionable lack of content.

Iâm more saying the number of non Halo items will increase. Right now.its sitting at a place that close to where reach was. Youâd see one dude in a smauri suit. One guy in HCS stuff. One guy with car ears. At some point I feel like it will overflow with different items where it will be some every time you load up a match you see effect moving everywhere. Sometimes itâs actually distracting from the enjoyment because Iâm trying to see something and the effect is just in the way. Like the big read skull for example.
Idk how they fix this other than giving the options to at least turn off effects. But then players would feel like whatâs the point of having it if other players canât see it.
So Iâm guessing youâve never t-bagged ever then since flowers and frilly things arenât man like.

Again. All Iâm saying is that there is a fine line and in my opinion we are on the line about to cross over into Fortnite zone.
This is how I see it. The arbiter falling to his death in halo 2. He lets out funny screams. Heâs not wearing a clown suit. Lighting isnât coming from his hands. Itâs just a funny scream. Something light. Something that doesnât intrude on the âHaloâ image where itâs just a Spartan and his gun. Yes this is my opinion. By all means someone can call car ears manly. All power to them. I just believe it doesnât fit halo
Makes no sense. What youre saying basically equates to, âweâre all forced to wear cat ears and sprout flowers.â

Why does everything have to be manly? Why do cat ears need to be manly?

No. What I was saying was that we had it better back then because we could simply choose the color. I should have sepreated that point
Cat ears can be MANLY and Feminine

Iâm not saying they canât. This person just seems to want to think Halo has to be exclusively manly, as if thatâs what everyone wanted.
