HALO

Halo 5 takes place in October 2558 so not even lol, also it very much ends with the Chief not asleep so ???

Wake up Chief. Xbox needs you. Hell, Microsoft needs you.

Halo Infinite reads the headline, “Finish the Fight”, and says, never making that mistake again

Since 2.

well, brutes were in 2, but I don’t think they were so orcs-with-lasers in 2 and 3

The Brute design has gotten less hairy every Halo they show up in. Looks like continuing the trend

Elite fashion starts sweeping the brutes

honestly I like the gorilla face as an art choice; an army of Gorilla Grodds is a lot of fun and the Bungie designs were always so close to gorillas they couldn’t meaningfully push them apart and they always looked off-model to me

it super pisses me off that the Kommando and other guns have traditional ADS

the whole in-universe explanation for scoping is that it’s built into master chef’s armor/HUD so like… why is he looking down mounted scopes…

annoying and cod-like

odst is really good for this because you didn’t realize what the power armor was doing for you until it’s gone! you can’t jump for shit and you’re slower, you throw grenades all fucked up and wrong, you get hurt way more easily, and all the enemies are 10x more aggressive because you’re a normal person. it rules

I finished my legendary playthrough of Halo CE and it was super tough, sometimes frustrating, sometimes very fun. But directly after that, I started playing Halo 3 on legendary (which I hear is much easier comparatively) with two friends, and I think I’m realizing that I prefer to play Halo with just one other person and 4-player co-op is a bit much for these campaigns and at that difficulty. We’re playing with Iron on, and that definitely matters, but it’s trickier to get four people on the same page to eek through a tough sequence of encounters and if anyone performs like a third-wheel it’s super obvious, which isn’t fun.

Hell ya. We can’t let Reach fall with out us felix.

the only time 4 player co-op works well is if the stakes aren’t too high or if everyone is really good at the game, but i’ve always thought halo was a game about partners (doubles is the most fun multiplayer variant, too!)

this isn’t even the most egregious thing they ported over from the shitty gearbox PC version, none of the animated shaders for covenant shit work like they’re supposed to in the MCC port of Halo 1 either.

I can’t recommend enough how great setting this up for yourself is if you want to play Halo: CE today. I did this back-to-back with the Master Chief Collection version and it makes a world of difference:
