Hello, dear community and 343 industries.
We’ve come a long, really long path from 2001 until now. And a lot has happened in the gaming industry until now. I think never before has the Halo community been this split.
I’ve kind of gotten the feeling we fans don’t know anymore what we want. But I do. For sure.
You know, most shooter games nowadays are copying each other. Even COD is doing this with Fortnite. Battlefield is trying to become like COD and then there’s HALO.
A game being famous for innovation.
You remember back then when Halo 2 was released? Halo 3? Everyone’s mind was blown at how great those games were. So many new features added. A whole new
dimension of what has been the same game mechanics until then. When 343 has taken over Halo and Bungie has abandoned its ship like a terrible captain there was a whole
lot of controversy regarding the new game mechanics. And I admit. It was actually pretty fun to play around with this. Halo 5’s release wasn’t flawless. Not flawless at all.
Split-Screen has been removed, the game has been stuffed with terribly organized microtransactions, squad mechanics of which I think my potato could be more useful in the campaign (no offence dear Kartoschka) and all of this for it to be hated. Hated into oblivion. Halo Online was great. A great game, great mechanics. It was still a 0.6 but…
Dear Microsoft. Halo (Classic Halo) has a simple formula. For it to be a fun arena shooter. Accessible for both competitive and casual players. Why don’t you just simply add things on to this formula instead of changing things? All of those spartan abilities just simply do not fit in. Modern Halo may be nice. But it’s not Halo 3 or Reach which we all knew and loved. And don’t even get me started on the MCC which is a disgrace to the shooter franchise.
Why, just why won’t you simply take the Halo formula we all know and love, change the art style a bit, make the lore go back into an original direction and
WE. We the community. Why won’t we finally stand up? Stand up against what Halo is becoming and make Microsoft give it
give it the treatments it deserves?
Or at least give us 2 parallel action strands? Maybe give us a classic type Halo. Or something completely different? Like an Arma type Marine game? Make a Halo Reach 2 or Halo Harvest or I don’t know. Give us a spinoff of Eddie Buck about how he becomes a Spartan. He is a character with so much potential. Hell. We even could get a Halo ONI game where you actually have to do things that have been promised in Halo 5’s ad campaign. But please. Expand upon the story. Fix your mistakes, redo the MCC from the ground up, add Reach to it, finally give us Halo 6. Just give us something.
Dear community. Do you agree? Do you think Halo should finally get the treatment it deserves? A real war zone and not this microtransaction stuffed bllsht?
Expand upon what already exists?
Dear Microsoft. Please stop killing this franchise and give us something. Thx.
Best regards, Felix.
