I still can’t get over the sound of this game! It’s unreal. My biggest complaint of the entire series before 343 took over is the guns just sound neutered. Nothing had a ‘pop’. Halo 4 blew my mind with it’s meticulous sound. It sounded like I was reloading the needler in person. Halo 5 was even better. Honestly, it’s a big reason why I keep coming back to the game. It’s super fun but full of pros at this point and I’m a lone wolf added to teams playing solo for games here and there. The sound of just shuffling around to get to a spot and sliding in then reloading and hearing that ‘clink’. It’s the best! Nothing comes close and I’ve played bad games for a long time just cause I loved the sound design. It’s the most overlooked part of gaming. All the loot crates and packs and rewards… seriously, who cares? It’s a game but that’s my opinion. I have 60 ‘packs’ to open and like 100k in credits. Does nothing for me. If I could give them to someone I would.
I read O’Connor said they were going the ‘realistic’ route with Halo 6 and that sounds flat out awesome! I’m sure it will look stunning on the XBX. And here’s hoping Sprint will come back. That was a killer video series on Halo Waypoint.
Go Halo 6! (and seriously shouldn’t we seeing a trailer by now??)
