Was it the peak for both Halo and Bungie?

Halo 4 and 5 over Infinite

You must be gay.

Infinite had the worst campaign and multiplayer out all the Halo games.
The only thing I enjoyed about it was being able to freely roam and kill enemies in the campaign.

You are the child of my makers. Inheritor of all they left behind.

You ARE Forerunner...

but this Ring... is MINE!

Halo died when they added the BR as a mainstay

How do you figure?

No, Halo CE was

Oh come on.

The current changes to Halo Studios may create a new peak for this series now since they're no longer being ran like a AAA studio.

Doubt it.

Infinite had the worst campaign and multiplayer out all the Halo games.

I seriously doubt it could've been any worse than 5's.

I thought Infinite was the best of the 343 games for campaign and multi personally

Doubt it

They're working like an indie/AA studio now, so, it'll be significantly better.

Infinite was the first campaign since the Bungie days that focused on gameplay and felt like a video game again, hell it felt like it went back to Halo CE. You honestly don't like video games if you dislike it especially over garbage like Halo 4 and 5, generic AAA slop even in the art and music, not Halo at all.

depends on how hard you want to nitpick, both are deeply flawed, but 5 definitely hates YOU, the player, more.

but 5 definitely hates YOU, the player, more

Agreed. I felt similarly about 4, although it was better.

They're working like an indie/AA studio now, so, it'll be significantly better.

... what in the world makes you think that's how they're working?

good morning sirs

I think the moment to moment gameplay is better in Infinite (except for the shock weapons, mainly on Legendary) but the level layouts kind of sucked, and so did the open world

Take me back brossss

halo 2 was peak online
halo 1 peak campaign

Oh come on.

Continuing from this, it was Bungie's last AA game and the Halo game that felt they put the most effort in. It also felt like it was just trying to be a video game. Giving studios blank checks was a mistake.

I'd say 2 was the peak, 3 was the perfect send-off as CoD rose up to take the throne.

It literally got leaked, Microsoft wants collaborations, no more silos, and smaller teams of about 200 people working on a game, not a 1000-man team.

Says the faggot defending Halo 4 and 5's campaigns, lol

3 was fun but it had a lot of flaws. Still a great game. I wish someone would make a spiritual successor.

It was epic but I was peak impressed with 2 the most when it came to single player maps, multiplayer maps, co-op, and being impressed by new gameplay features.

To this day the matchmaking from Halo 3 blows my mind. My internet was shit, even for 2007 standards, but I was still able to join a ranked lobby within minutes of booting up my 360.

Yes. No contest. Reach was nuHalo

Reach was literally Bungie's swansong.

Reach sucked

I remember watching the pre-release on G4 like it was a fucking month long holiday. People were driving around in Mongooses and shit. Friends wouldn't shut the fuck up about it.

You're a literal faggot in every minute aspect of your existence sooo... naturally your opinion means nothing to me.

Halo Infinite is the one Microsoft wants people to play.
Old halo games aren't profitable anymore, until the next wave of remasters/remakes that is.

true

yeah well ur mexican

how do you do, my fellow gamers?

I too, have contrarian views.

we should trust the newest corpo slop coming up, my fellow gamers

Tisk, tisk.

humans are the descendants of the Forerunners

:D

humans and Forerunners were both created by the Precursors, who are also the Flood

D:

How dare you attack a game that I like.
I feel personally slighted by your opinion and will proceed to call you all manner of derogatory names.

Nah, that was Halo 2. 3, ODST, and Reach were all good, but 2 was the best and remains the best to this day

Nah peak bungie was Rise of Iron age of triumph

Campaign peaked in CE, MP peaked in 2, don't @ me

It was the worst Bungie Halo game

Halo 2 > Halo Combat Evolved > Halo ODST > Halo Reach > Halo 3

Daily reminder that Halo would been on a WAY WAY worse state had it been with Bungie
343 was dogshit, but modern bungie halo would be straight up soul crushing

bungie dies

bungie makes a good game

What's more likely to happen?

Bungie dying. Modern vidya is barely able to deliver a good game

I only play these games for the singleplayer, MP games can fuck right off. I'll be back when the CE remake hits, they'll probably call it, Halo Combat REvolved, lol.

liking gaming before it went mainstream is now considered contrarian

I hate normalfags so much.

ends abruptly

Yeah no, definitely not the best.

Even if they reconnected Master Chief as black and/or female?

This really isn't an issue, Bungie and Microsoft just have different lores and canons, problem here was always zoomers somehow thinking Halo still belonged to Bungie when it never really did and zoomers thinking Bungie retconned their own series instead of a Microsoft fan hire named Jeremy Patenaude, who changed it when he joined 343 years ago.

reddit opinion the post

Nah peak bungie was Rise of Iron age of triumph

Amazing troll.

Campaign peaked in CE, MP peaked in 2, don't @ me

Faggot.

Daily reminder that Halo would been on a WAY WAY worse state had it been with Bungie

Lmao.

343 was dogshit, but modern bungie halo would be straight up soul crushing

It also probably would have survived.

What's more likely to happen?

The former.

Bungie will die like most AAA which is well deserved.

It's a Metroid Zero Mission-style remake, not a reboot, anon.

The ending is great
reddit's favorite is Reach.

this man who dared expose me is not a fellow gamer

attack him, my army of chu- I mean, fellow gamers!

Reddit's favorite games are story-based ones, if it's an actual video game, they hate it.

troll

Sorry halofag but siva won and gaylo was always shit
Destiny 1 was bungies magnum opus

tranny

forsooth! the man knows me too well

I must cast a magic spell!

just like rainbow hairs screaming nazi.
too easy.

Destiny 1 was bungies magnum opus

Rise of Iron was FILLER between Taken King and Destiny 2.
I know. I PLAYED it.
You cannot be serious.

This.

reach that high

faggot zoomer detected

It's not even an opinion, forge/theater/custom games/file share/ability to invite everyone you recently played with to your custom games was just the perfect recipe for a strong gaming community. Literally everyone from friendless loser to clique circlejerkers played together in harmony and had a blast with no drama. It was just pure fun for everyone and 90% of people including introverts used their mics because it was just too fun not to.

Oh im serious

age of triumph KINO

updated Crucible weapon bounties

updated vanguard content with strike scoring + BIG reward bounties

FREE treasure box farming each week

mayhem iron banner

pvp was actually fun and not dogshit

remastered raids with refreshed loot and armor ornaments

new shaders to farm for

Shit was absolutely PEAK

nihilistic sense of superiority over widely beloved video game installments

The stereotypical sodomite millennial.

You're talking about the faggots who made DESTINY

I cant believe that halo shitfinite single handedly killed the tiny bit of halo excitement that was left.

It was the studio collapsing in on itself that did it because wanted live service slop for his GayPass.

Duel wielding threw off weapon balancing completely

Human faces look like marionette puppets

Writing is terrible, with only quips carrying the characters through

Human AI is brain-damaged

Lower-third reticle

THE FUCKING BLOOM!

Equipment is mostly useless

Power weapon spawn camping

The mongoose and the Hornet are the "please, kill me!" options for vehicles

"Cortana" and "Floodgate" are neck-and-neck for the worst levels in the franchise

Constant asymmetrical maps for slayer

Face it, the reason why it's so remembered is because back in the day, besides COD4, there was barely any competition and carried by legacy.

*Phil

It's remembered because it's Snoys and zoomers first Halo game. These losers also put Halo 2 and most of the other games on a pedestal while shitting Halo CE for being the first game and Infinite for trying to get the series back on track at least for the campaign.

kys retard you dont fit in here

Combat peaked in 1, multiplayer in 2, hype in 3, and campaign in Reach. It was a sustained 9-year peak for Halo and Bungie, and the never-ending death spiral for both ever since is a fucking tragedy.
The only question now is which one dies first.

>Duel wielding threw off weapon balancing completely

skill issue

>Human faces look like marionette puppets

I suppose

>Writing is terrible, with only quips carrying the characters through

Don't remember much quipping but story overall was probably the worst of the trilogy

>Human AI is brain-damaged

Only really a problem if you're letting them drive

>Lower-third reticle

Whatever

>THE FUCKING BLOOM!

Skill issue

>Equipment is mostly useless

Fair

>Power weapon spawn camping

Skill issue

>The mongoose and the Hornet are the "please, kill me!" options for vehicles

True

>"Cortana" and "Floodgate" are neck-and-neck for the worst levels in the franchise

Fair

>Constant asymmetrical maps for slayer

No fun allowed

Never got the E3 level

Nah

The ending doesn't matter anymore. You can start halo 3 right away. As a cliffhanger it's fucking good.

skill issue

Yeah, with the devs.

Don't remember much quipping but story overall was probably the worst of the trilogy

"To war!" (immediately turns right back around, holsters pistol, and goes back to where she was standing)

Whatever

"Boy! I love being only able to aim at the bottom of the screen!"

Only really a problem if you're letting them drive

They fight like idiots as well

Skill issue

"Y'know what would be awesome? If the flare blindly both the enemy AND myself whenever I used it!"

Skill issue

You keep using that word. I think you don't know what that word means. Especially when power weapons helps negate actual skill.

No fun allowed

It's fun for objective games. For slayer? That's basically just saying "hey, forget actually having skill if you're spawned in on the right side."

For the gameplay no, Halo died when they added the BR as a mainstay

I was about to seethe and disagree with you, but you're right. And I say that as a huge Halo fag as a teen.

Aside from obviously the community the real fun and appeal of Halo was always the wacky weapons and how easy the AR was to pick up and use for new players and how there'd be noticeable differences in AR fights between a skilled player and a casual player. But even still if the new player got the jump or got lucky he'd still have a chance, and other weapons were viable which is what made it a fun and kept the community engaged. It didn't filter newbies TOO hard which is probably a key part of Halo's success.
In Halo 2 there was no AR so it was less of an issue, but in Halo 3 with enough practice the BR mogged the AR and everything else to the point new players just left leaving the tryhards alone whilst the casuals hopped onto Call of Duty instead and that was the new big community.

Bungie is already on the verge of collapse, there's no way they have anything left in them

CE's gameplay was so tight. The only thing later games really have over it are all of the new features that are second to the actual gameplay.

I will never understand the cliffhanger allegations. Not only we got Halo 3, a direct sequel, 3 years later but we also do a shitload of things in Halo 2 that makes it a worthwhile standalone.

experience the covenant invasion in earth

understand the covenant's motivations and inner structure

visualize the arbiter's path from being an ignorant believer to a savior of his race

introduction of the gravemind

two prophets die, tartarus too

halo 2 feels so fucking good

Not him but it still does as a video game. You don't introduce antagonists and not kill or defeat in the game and instead cut the game off and say do it in the next game. Halo 2 is shit just for that alone.

The movement felt responsive and fluid, but I hated the guns.

no
it really is just constant callbacks to the last two games while having very little to no characterization for anyone other than chief and cortana. The story goes exactly as you can predict it. The levels are also equally uninspired and some are terrible (cortana) and really feel like bungie didn't learn much in the 6 years from CE

the multiplayer is an unbalanced BR spamfest like 2 but now the BR feels like shit to use

3 was the safest and thus, the lamest of the bungie trilogy. You wouldn't really see them learn more and experiment more until reach

Getting the ranking of various breeds of dog shits ranked right is pretty irrelevant anon we all know that anything lower than s in that list is garbage

Halo 4 and 5 are AAA gaming trash, Infinite doesn't rank with them given it's the only 343 campaign that's an actual video game.

Nah cod didn’t take the crown until mw2, halo 3 cod4 mw and gears of war all being out around the same time was about as good as it got for console gaming

I played infinite for about an hour and instantly identified it as goyslop and that tranny grappling hook is so gay they must’ve hired Liberace must work at 343 now
