Do you prefer the Halo games Bungie made or the way 343 is taking the series?
this includes everything from art style, armor, music, story, etc. basically, everything.
F**k Bungie
To be honest I’m just glad the Halo series has had new life breathed into it by 343. It seemed like Reach was going to be the last game in the franchise, and the Halo series has probably given the fondest memories in gaming for me. To have it continued on and (in my opinion) refined further has just been great.
Bungie are the ones that got me to love the series, but 343 continued on their legacy.
No. If I had the chance I would INSTANTLY shut down 343 Industires and here is why.
- 343 have already DESTROYED halos story. Halo 4 had a FANTASTIC story even if it was very confusing but halo 5 is so poorly written it will take a miracle to fix it. Cortana a is now a villain who acts completely out of character and has a -Yoink- design which instantly ruins her character and spits on all the people who died for her (noble team, Johnson). We also have 343 quite literally backtrack everything that happened in halo 4 (Chiefs humanity, didact, Janus key). When we were promised to see Chiefs personal journey we got absoultly NOTHING. Also all the new characters in halo 5 are bland and have no personality while old characters are bland and act out of character. - 343 have ruined Master Chief. The master chief in halo 5 is completely different from what he was like in the original games. He only has one good line, no jokes and has no interesting interactions with other characters. In halo 4 master chief has a personality and is exploring his humanity but in halo 5 it disappeared as if nothing happened. - 343 neglect staples of the franchise. The chose 1080p and 60fps over SPLITSCREEN. They refuse to add in Playable Elites even tough there have been countless forum posts begging for this feature. They add in Forge more than a month after the game released. They release BTB a month after launch with community made maps with no dev made maps. They release Grifball with only one map 4 months post launch. They release firefight with OP bosses and a time limit 8 months after launch. They release a content browser almost a year after the game released. - 343 doesn’t understand what Halo is. Halo is a game slow, skill based game. But to 343 halo means sprint and ads. The only thing “halo” about halo 5 is that it has the name of the game. It doesn’t feel like a halo game. It doesn’t look like a halo game. 343 belive halo should be made for kids and people who play COD and Battlefield. Halo 5 is aimed towards people who play modern fps not the halo community.
Bungie created Reach then Destiny a giant cash grab.
343, neither 4 or 5 are perfect, and have flaws, I bet if they went on and made their own game, they probably would do pretty good.
Maybe better off finding someone else or ending the series.
2 and 3 will always be the best. I love some of the people at 343, but they just can’t step up to the plate.
I can’t say I prefer one over the other, though I find some of 343’s decisions baffling (Warden Eternal. Really 343?).
I don’t get the bungie -Yoink!- stool is on, Destiny isn’t very good to new players people won’t play with them so I have to play most of the game solo in a game based around multiplayer, dlc out side of the season pass, when I bought destiny the taken King with game edition I was led to believe this was a definitive edition other wise I wouldn’t of bought it and I stopped playing because I found out there was more dlc I had to buy if I wanted to even play with other people. I played through the story wondering when the story was going to start and I had heard how bad it was but the things people were saying wasn’t enough to know how bad it was.
Lastly bungie is just a name, some people working for 343 probally worked for bungie at some point too
I have no preference. It’s just whichever game I decide to pick up that day. I have enjoyed all iterations of Halo.
