I liked halo 5, the weapons, armor, characters, gameplay and more

Is Halo Reach a chess game or a COD game?

So franchises have no meaning then. Star Wars should have master chief in it because franchises mean jack all. You appear to not understand how a franchise works. It is built off of products being similar or the same, a chess board is not Halo no matter what you think and this line of thought can be extended to the games after H3.

nice straw man bro if you could figure out how to legally mix them together go for it

It was Halo reach. It was the game MLG dropped. Halo 5ade MLG pickup Halo again because of Halo popular HCS was. So that’s wrong. It was not the death of Halo. If anything it’s what got.it back. Esspically forge

Well I respect that you don’t enjoy the games outside of CE-3. I disagree on a lot of your points, which is fine. Everyone has their own feelings on how things should be. Just know that plenty of people will agree with you and plenty will disagree with you.

I think Halo 5 story was a low point and Halo 3’s multiplayer is my least favorite of all the games. I’m an outlier on that and okay with it because Halo is different to everyone.

i dont understand why people hate halo 5 and not halo wars… at least be consistent with your dumbness

Here let’s take your point to it’s logical extreme:
China claims to be democratic, is it actually democratic?

According to your argument it is.

another straw man… you realise the politician that announces that would be executed right ? you are just full of hate go somewhere else please.

Now you have to know that you’re just making outrageous arguments to keep arguing and be a troll and instead of having a discussion. You don’t want to have a debate or to change anybody’s opinion. You just want to make noise to feel better about frustrations you have with a franchise you don’t care about.

I’m trolling by using his logic in another argument? I’m trolling because I am riding his talking points through the ring in order to make sure they’re sound?

It’s definitely not a CoD game, but do you actually not realize Reach has an actual chess game mode?

Is that the entire game? Did the developers purposely design a chess gamemode as the core of the game?

Yeah, but you also haven’t engaged with anything I’ve said or had a discussion. You have thrown out one liners and stuck to “Thruster bad, lore bad, CE-3 good, CoD bad” “China china china”.

You’re just trolling and you know it. I know it. We all know it. My feathers aren’t ruffled. I’m still going to play Halo 5. I’m still going to enjoy MCC. I’m still going to give money to this franchise I enjoy. I have my opinions on it and I will discuss them with other players. You’re just being silly and you know it because you want to feel better about something.

No it’s not the entire game lol, not saying it is.

Bungie purposefully developed Chess as an April Fools joke, then released it later on in the games lifespan.

My argument was that you can’t just slap “HALO” on something and that instantly makes it Halo. An actual chess board is perfect as it isn’t Halo no matter what.

Halo 5 wasn’t a sticker tho. They literally took lore from.the books. The same books that are apart of the game lore. If anything it’s one of the games that’s the most Halo out of all of them lore wise.

On top of that it followed the equal starts formula that hall 2 was known for.

Lore means nothing yet again.

Equal starts was in H3 and equal starts don’t make it a Halo game. Quake and unreal tournament had equal starts and they are not Halo.

But literally 343 can. Halo is a franchise.

But I understand what you’re saying, ‘spiritually’ ‘Halo’ is tied to that classic arena style gameplay we know and love from CE through 3 (and Reach).

Halo Wars doesn’t play like a classic Halo title, because it wasn’t developed as a classic Halo title. It’s Halo as part of the franchise but not Halo in a ‘spiritual’ sense.

Halo 4 and 5 didn’t feel like that classic CE - 3, but it doesn’t mean they aren’t Halo titles as much as we wish they weren’t.

Except when it is, as is the case with Halo Reach’s official chess mode.

It’s an official ViDoc, it’s actually pretty comical.

Halo Wars isn’t part of the mainline games, it’s classified as a spin off. Reach, 4, 5 and Infinite do not classify themselves as a spinoff despite playing nothing like the originals.

Reach’s chess mode doesn’t change my point because it still isn’t the definitive Halo experience, it may be in the game but that doesn’t mean you could pull a chess board out IRL with Halo figures and call it real Halo.

Put it this way. You want classic Halo? I do too. I would rather it over what we got now.

Yes that’s why I play Halo because it’s like qauke and doom

That’s why I like Halo 2 and halo 5 because they are exactly how arena games should be. PURE EQUAL STARTS. If I can’t have Halo 5 I’ll gladly take Halo 2.

But I don’t want Halo 3, Halo reach, Halo 4 ,and Halo infinite.

Does it make sense now?
