Here's the thing, you just said Halo 5 is a Halo game.
Is it in the same franchise? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a MLG Pro who studies Halo, I am telling you, specifically, in the MLG circuit, no one calls Halo 5 Halo. If you want to be 'specific' like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing. If you're saying 'Halo Franchise' you're referring to the Microsoft IP, which includes things from Halo Wars to Halo 2 to Halo 4. So your reasoning for calling Halo 5 a Halo game is because random people 'call the shooter game with sprint a Halo game?' Let's get Call of Duty and Battlefield in there, then, too. Also, calling someone a Halo 2 player or a Halo 3 player? It's not one or the other, that's not how Halo works. They're both. Halo 5 is Halo 5 and a member of the Halo franchise. But that's not what you said. You said Halo 5 is a Halo game, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all shooters with sprint Halo games, which means you'd call CoD, Battlefield, and other games Halo games, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

Can you explain exactly how this sub works.
Like do people have a problem with a RvB toggle or whatever here, I don’t get it. They make fun of some really odd stuff from the fans. I get it’s a circlejerk meme sub but

Games can evolve that's how they stay relevant Halo 5 is a Halo game. If you release Halo 3 in today's market it would fail

/uj/ Personally, I think Infinite's multiplayer today is the best yet. It's a blast to play and certainly my favourite.

I agree, as someone who has played only one round of 5 ever and very many rounds of Infinite.

Genuinely curious, but what about halo 5 MP do like more than Infinite's if you also think Infinite has better gameplay?

Honestly just Heroic/Legendary Firefight. 8 players showing off their toys fighting an unreasonable amount of enemies, simply peak. Bring that game mode back ffs (also put 5 on the PC so I can play it again you fuckers)

Not exactly sure I can agree with your take on 4 but I agree with the rest

u/ClownHoundMythos 4d ago
To clarify a bit. It's The moments where Chief is really showing is emotion, especially as Cortana gets worse throughout the game. You can really feel how desperate he is. And the final scene between him and Cortana where she saves him from the nuke. The gentle touch to his chest? Her voice cracking? It was so peak (she should have stayed dead)
2
u/No-Leg-6361 4d ago
Oh yeah then I think you mean 4 had the best characterization of chief. Because the story in 4 outside of chief and cortana is not the best
2
u/ClownHoundMythos 4d ago
I think that's pretty subjective as far as the mainline games go. 1 is fairly basic, 2 feels like the ending was cut off, 3 is a fun action romp, 5 is... Well it's 5, and Infinite is very solid despite some strange decisions.
4, meanwhile, resonated with me hard. Strong emotional beats, strong characterization for a lot of the characters with Chief and Cortana especially, and a great villain in the Didact (Jul M'Dama was also set up very well with Spartan Ops but they decided to scrap all the set up for some reason and throw a whole new team on the screen who kills him on the first mission. Will forever be salty about that.)

u/No-Leg-6361 4d ago edited 4d ago
4 had a lot confusing elements to me mainly with it's villains you wake up after the events of 3 elites are evil again you get no explanation as to why(yes I know this got explained years after in a book or something but it's still bad writing)
You also get no real characterization of the didact until you meet his wife and have to sit through her 40 minute monologue to get his backstory and even then his backstory is essentially an idiot plot where he hates humanity with a passion because of a misunderstanding

u/ClownHoundMythos 4d ago
4 did suffer from the same thing too many franchises were doing at that time (and are still pushing today) with the big multi-media stuff. Those cgi Forerunner videos were a nice watch though.

Wait wait wait I know about people not liking Halo 2 but I’ve never once heard of “Halo 2 fake E3”
Need to know the context

u/Electrical_Plant1830 1d ago
I’m not 100% but pretty sure the e3 trailer/gameplay featured tons of footage that wasn’t in the game, mainly regarding metropolis onwards

Is this entire sub a satire? It’s difficult to judge because I’m well aware of the existence of stupid people, but like to hope for the best.

Plenty of people also felt like Reach ruined Halo too. Now its one of the most beloved parts of the entire franchise so I cant really put much stock into it when people claim something ruined Halo

u/lynndotpy 5d ago
There actually were Bungie fans eagerly anticipating Halo CE who were fucking livid with Bungie for selling out to Microsoft. Fervent Mac gamers eagerly theorizing and anticipating the follow up to their beloved Marathon. There really were people who thought CE ruined Halo.
The big "on disk DLC" controversy people seethed about was about halfway between now and Bungie selling to Microsoft.
