Yeah, ahahah, it's a bit nostalgic. I hope that one day Halo will return to its full glory.
-
It won't. Halo is past it's prime. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though.
-
Yeah, I know that probably it will never be the same, but I've grown up with this saga, so it makes me sad to think of it as dead. Hope is the last to die, so I continue to hope.
-
It's not dead. Far from it in fact. There are still novels and books being written and released regularly. There are still games released regularly. There's a live action show coming too. I wouldn't consider it dead in any form.
-
I was interpreting "dead" as "without soul and not in its full glory" (I don't know how to say better, sorry, I'm Italian).
-
It's just not at it's prime anymore for online multiplayer. That's all. It's still a majorly popular franchise.
-
Uhm... I think that also campaign has lost some of its magic, and the community too. I still remember the Recon in Halo 3, the easter eggs, the secrets... Yeah it's still popular, but not like 4/5 years ago.
-
The campaign in Halo 4 is written much better than [i]any[/i] of Bungie's Halo games (Halo CE being the exception). Halo 2 was unfinished. Halo 3's story didn't start until 1/3 into the game. ODST's story was nothing great. Reach broke canon.
-
I don't really think so. Bungie's Halo games do have plot holes and other defects, but if you play Halo 4 without reading the books you understand and know very little of the plot. I have the opinion that a game should be understood without any type of supplement.
-
I understood it fine without reading [i]any[/i] supplemental material. Halo 4 actually has more story with its story driven campaign than Bungie's Halo games. The terminals from Halo 4 are enough for you to understand what's happening if you didn't work it out already by playing the game.
-
The terminals can only be watched once found, quitting the game and entering in Waypoint, so it's not easy. I'll give you some example of what I haven't (initially) understood: why the Covenants are attacking us again, what are the Pets of the Librarian, what is the Mantle (these two can be guessed, but it's not immediate), the entire cutscene where Master Chief is mutated, and how Master Chief saves him in the end (and this is still discussed).
-
[quote]why the Covenants are attacking us again[/quote]Storm Covenant. A group that splintered away from the main Covenant. [quote]what are the Pets of the Librarian, [/quote]Humanity. [quote]what is the Mantle[/quote]It's a Forerunner philosophy. Protectors of life and planetary systems within their domain. [quote]the entire cutscene where Master Chief is mutated[/quote]The Librarian accelerated his evolution. [quote]and how Master Chief saves him in the end (and this is still discussed).[/quote]How master Chief saves who?
-
Is any of these explained in the game (exclude terminals). Now I know these things, but while you play how do you understand? The last one is "How does Master Chief save himself."
-
Edited by BritLemon: 3/7/2014 11:17:12 PMThey're not heavily explained. But it's there. [quote] The last one is "How does Master Chief save himself."[/quote]Cortana saved him.
-
I think that they are not explained at all. If you want you cant link me a video with the exact quote in which the explanation is. Yes, but how does it save him?
-
Edited by BritLemon: 3/7/2014 11:25:28 PMLike I said, they don't explain thoroughly on these. [i]Just[/i] like Bungie did with their games. I'm on the app, so linking every exact quite will be difficult as my iPod sucks shit a d is glitchy. Cortana saves him using the transportation/teleportation grid.
-
Yeah, but the plot's details that Bungie omissed aren't fundamental, while in Halo 4 are fundamental. What I want to say is that is an absurdity to say that the campaign in Halo 4 is much more well done than the other Halo games, because if we really look with attention, we can find a lot more negative elements in Halo 4. Don't worry, link me the quotes when you're at home. Yes, but is it explained?
