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.
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…
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
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.
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.
