Under what context is this whole Barbie Spartan thing?

All of MP is already cannon tho.

Like a red team and a blue team? Nah! that’ll never catch on.

Arguably in all of Halo 4 and 5 the IV’s were idiots.

I’m pretty sure the Spartan IV program makes people stupid. Look at Buck. Look at how they massacred my boy.

Johnson was apparently a Spartan I. He’s a badass, but he’s a silly badass.

It certainly has always had its jokes. I’ve personally never been into that side of it, but years ago it felt tame enough that it didn’t bother me, now it seems really really over the top.

The two things you listed just don’t compare, in my eyes, to the immaturity of the Spartans in Spartan Ops, or the asinine goofy cosmetics in Infinite.

Nah that was just halo 5’s writting team willfully ignoring the lore team.

WE all know Johnson would make a crass joke right before blowing a brutes brain out of their skull. Oh wait we have the bip, bop, bam ODST trailer for that.

Thing is it isn’t over the top infact so far the jokes in infinite are lower key then some of those in reach and five.

Haha yeah the SIV program is just weirdly immature and maybe just poorly written?

I know MP is canon, and it is really quite disappointing. I presume they have only done that because for some reason they think people want some poorly written serial narrative to explain cosmetics?

I suppose when I said canonical, I mean “not a simulation,” i.e. you are playing Invasion and it is supposedly part of a real battle in the war.

Would be cool, but they’d most likely make it into a “training exercise with elites.” If they even add them into MP. Heck even Warzone with all the enemy adds was just a simulation. Your idea is pretty cool tho.

Which honestly is the biggest cop-out. Like we spent all that time training just for our Spartans to die? Like literally all but a handful of Spartan 4 we’re left after the ring incident and these Spartans are “New recruits.”

Nah BLAM that. My Spartan is still kicking idga blam what 343 said, our Spartans are units and deserve a newer better (Spartan) Fire Ops. Give us actual missions since we’re lore Spartans. Let us actually fight. And if you’re going to kill us all off…

Let us go out… With NOBILITY

To be fair if I was 343 I would do everything to wash my hands of anything having to do with 5 too.

If 5 didn’t have garbage customization, and an actual RNG for loot roles maybe…

And why they still refuse to allow for a customs FF is beyond me.

If 4 had a separate FF Spartan ops wouldn’t have been so badly recieved

Game died, they stopped updating it and moved on to release Reach to mcc with a PC port. Same might happen to Infinite too TBH.

Yeah. Spartan ops was not a good replacement for FF. The weekly story on the same 4 maps wasn’t worth the wait either.

I’ve seen the snowman but not the needler helmet

Isn’t that in destiny 2?

Sorry, I should’ve specified. By my above comment I meant custom FF overall not just to 5’s installment. Customs FF was one of the few better things about the game.

With the ring being already developed what they could do is introduce the open world maps. One in which the Spartans are cleaning up and help resupply the bases and reclaim any lost bases since chief.

And finish with a fortress assault.

And a second version of fortress Assurant that’s just a straight up assault with harder enemies and a full 8 team of Spartan. This mode would be a great MP mode. Fast aggressive and super team work oriented

They were referring to the leaks

There’s no needler helmet in destiny two but theres a titan arm ornament that gives you some familiar looking needles on one of your shoulders

That’s what I was thinking about. Thanks.

Hold your horses. Right now 343i is struggling to get 4 people into that ring without breaking the game. Let alone 8. Would be cool once the ring can be populated with more than 1 spartan tho.

If that’s not called “cat day out” than I’m upsetti

Oh that’s dark lmao

Inb4 it gets removed from the files due to it being too gory for the t rating

Also if it comes out it better be mark v[b] compatible lol

Buck was the best part of halo 5. I get it though, that’s not saying much.

It was removed between the original beta and offical release. Not because of the T rating, in fact we have some heavy evidence that is going out the window in a few updates including the fact that blood was added back in the co-op flight.

It was a joke item never meant to be seen.
