-
So pumped for Halo 5

Edited by Lost: 6/10/2015 6:02:41 PMI'll start with the bad. HALO 4 sucked. Absolutely disgraceful to the series. Now, before you say something like [i]It's not that bad or I actually enjoyed it a lot[/i] This is just my personally story, I just feel like they jumped ahead with the whole forerunner thing, pulling a lot from the books and not saying it was a bad idea, they just weren't ready. Now, 343 industries and I [b]had[/b] a bad relationship. I thought they were the worst thing to happen to Halo, but then I played MCC and realized that these guys are trying, and it's noticeable. They're little by little starting to remind me of the good days with Bungie. Specifically, I was playing through Halo 2, and honestly, just wow. This might not even be your favorite game but you have to admit the remastering was top notch. Even the soundtrack was amazing, really nicely done. So with the new Halo 5 under their helms, I want to give them another chance. Because I know unlike some devs who take over a franchise, I can see the heart that 343 puts into their games.

Also no XBL gold required to play online co-cop
-
-
Fireteam Osiris? What a coincidence. Does this mean that we'll be calling Locke and co. endeavors to find the Chief the Trials of Osiris?
-
Sounds good but will it be good? Remember last time [spoiler]Remember 4[/spoiler]
-
Free DLC? Underwater map? That's awesome! I am starting to like what I hear. :D
-
343 this sounds great on paper, but will it actually work on launch day? Unfortunately this is what I'm asking myself right now...
-
In-game tech and the story as a piece of 343i work sound pretty interesting. I still don't like the way they took the franchise, but that obviously won't change the way they take. It's ok. I won't buy a new console anytime soon, any way. What for? they seem to put much more thought into there game and the offer of 15 new maps for free is unexpectedly generous, even if they are remakes of existing stuff. Their new way of showing how much they care about their community is almost suspicious. I'm not sure what to think of that, yet.
-
The hype is real. Gunna be awesome
-
I hate 343i more than ever now.
-
I absolutely hate where they are going with Halo multiplayer. It's no longer the classic game I've loved since I was a kid. But with the info they released I'm now excited to play the campaign, even if it means I play it for a month and trade it in.
-
Hype.
