Halo's Core has no room for improvement

Games Halo 5: Guardians
1

Looking at the differences from Halo CE to Halo 2 and then to Halo 3, the best way to describe the Core’s evolution is like going from a gas stove (HCE) to a microwave(H2) to a microwave with a rotating glass tray (H3). Then Reach came out and that was like one of those high speed microwave toaster ovens used at subway. The point of this is that the core has no wiggle room for changing gameplay other than minimized and marginalized tweaks that can only register as cosmetic content to differentiate the newest Halo 2 clone from the original Halo 2.

If we were to venture down the rabbit hole of what Halo 5 would be like if they just kept updating H2 and naming it Halo 3, 4, 5 and so on well here is what we would have.

  1. All playlists and game types would only have BR starts.
  2. ARs, SMGs, Plasma/Storm rifles, Needlers and any other similar automatics would ultimately be removed from Halo
  3. Overshields and Active Camo would be replaced with the Invincibility and Invisibility equipment pick ups
  4. Extended Respawn timer lasting 30+ seconds would allow for camping snipers to walk at top speed over to your corpse for obligatory excessive tea bagging marathons
  5. Big team Battle would now be 3vs3 and all other playlists would be 2vs2 since competitives ,tryhards , esports guys, mlg guys, clans, and not the dude bros demand it
  6. No game types like Grifball because social and causual play will not be tolerated
  7. No Customs and Forge would be removed because only official and sanctioned maps and game types are allowed
  8. 50 to 1 level rankings would be mandatory to all parts and elements of the game such as menu ranking, options ranking, credits watching ranking, campaign level ranking
  9. All announcer dialogue and metal announcements would be in l33t speak and typical Xbox Live harassment
  10. Matchmaking would work to guarantee that coordinated and highly skilled teams in party chat will always face off against unskilled, mic-less, random players
  11. Campaign would be turned into an shallow plot-less extension of multiplayer just like Titanfall
  12. Halo’s Expanded Universe would be switched over into a series of useless multiplayer strategy guides
  13. Using an Elite in Multiplayer would result in a temporary 1 year ban from Xbox live
  14. Plasma grenades would have the bright blue glow removed and now they bounce off the ground, walls, while still being sticky.
  15. But on the bright side that mess would still be better than Killzone

Straw men, straw men everywhere…

I don’t know where to begin except to say that you have a very mistaken impression of what “traditional, classic, purist, competitive, mlg, insert-buzzword-here” players actually want. They disagree with your views so instead of trying to understand their position you have decided to make up your own.

This is too much! This is too much! xD

I don’t know whether to laugh my face off or sob on the floor. Human beings in the 21st century think this way??

Not sure if satire or pathetic strawman.

Because I know when I want sprint removed from Halo, what I REALLY want is 3v3 BTB and the removal of Grifball.

This is why i hate halo purists…

No they don’t, actually. I’m not sure what the OP is getting to with this post, since all of his claims are extremely over the top…

“I don’t like sprint.”

“So you’re a purist, you hate change, all you want is classic Halo and everything should be hyper competitive with no room for casual players, no grifball or forge or campaign or customs and everyone should bow to your mighty will.”

I mean, what?

But y’know by all means continue to bash people who disagree with you instead of actually justifying the changes :stuck_out_tongue: I’m sure that’ll go swimmingly.

Well that’s a bit much. We don’t hate you. :’(

But seriously OP. Do some homework about us. We’re not killjoys. We’re actually the opposite. We want the game to be fun again.
