Lol nah its like Step Dad took over after Dad died but Dad got resurrected and now hes home again.
Campaign wise maybe, but Halo 5 is the best multiplayer of the series.
Halo 4 is just Reach with better maps and the worst/most annoying gameplay mechanics from Reach taken out or improved.
I mean yeah the pre-order has helped but like $10 for literally infinite hours of fun.
Halo 4 is easily the worst multiplayer in the series. It literally added 10x more annoying features and the maps are somehow worse than Reach
Halo 4 is Reach but doubling down on what was wrong with Reach, what is this you are saying.
As for the maps, well, you may be right. Sorry, y'all. Halo 4 at least gave us Haven.
Not really, Halo 4 has a fairly bad art direction compared to Reach for example.

Interesting to see how Halo CE does.
Yup.
Either works. Technically the veeeeery end of Reach spoils Halo 3 because it takes place after that game, but not in any major way, in my opinion. It's more of a "well duh, of course that would happen" spoiler. Otherwise, there's no real issue with playing Reach first.
probably not going to bother with any of the MP but i'm interested in finally playing the campaign for 3
Personally, I like it because there's no Flood. Just the Covenant as far as I remember. I also liked the story, particularly the ending.
I don't understand why anybody would buy any Microsoft game now that you can get all there releases for only £45 a year on game pass.
I mean for the same price they pay for Halo on stream now they could get Halo collection now on game pass and Halo next gen this time next year.

$10 for just reach or $40 for everything Steam purchases you mean.
man its been so long since i beat reach that i forgot what it is that you were talking about lol
Idk honestly. But I think they'd rather take a guaranteed $180/yr instead of maybe 120 if one of their games excites people.
By the time the collection's out and even if you keep resubbing for each new release, you'd have paid MCC off already. Rather have it on Steam That's where most of my games are. Don't like subbing and the Xbox app gives me a headache whenever I need to use it.
It's a harder sell for other games that don't do incremental releases like MCC though. I played a couple of hours of Gears 5 on GP rather than getting it on Steam, for example. But I wasn't very interested in it the first place, so it was either GP or not playing it at all.
I'm just referring to when Halsey gives her monologue about how Noble Team helped pave the way for the end of the war with the Covenant; the spoiler being that the war eventually ends and humanity survives in decent shape. Like I said, it's kind of an obvious thing, to the point where I almost don't really consider it a spoiler.
Most of my playtime is in games like FFXIV and Destiny 2, only paying for Gamepass for maybe 1-2 games here and there isn't worth it for me.
Because a lot of people would rather own a game and play it on a vastly superior client than to rent it from a mediocre client.
I'm using GamePass to see if I like Halo, then I'll buy it on Steam if I do.
"No one cares about halo anymore! Microsoft should move on! "
lmao. The concern trolling the past year has been amazing.
ce is fucking amazingBig team battle server list /drool

WHERE'S CE
luckily it's up next. We should get flights next month it seems.

We hungry and Bungie/343i delivered. The only thing that would make this better for me is if this was ODST instead ;)
Eh, kind of. Vanilla Reach was kinda bad. Lots of balance issues, mediocre maps, etc. 343's title update fixes a lot of that up, and the new maps they made in conjunction with Certain Affinity definitely helped increase the map count for the good maps.
Calling Reach, at least the multiplayer portion, purely Bungie's Halo isn't fair. 343s Halo 5 mp is probably a top Halo experience as well.
Campaign on the other hand, fantastic job by Bungie and 343 needs to do better on the next one.
The last time I played halo reach was the demo on the 360, it was like a beach section and then a space combat section, I was not that impressed at the time, I though the visuals had jaggies and poor lighting and the space combat seemed pretty arcade and shallow, but people say its the best halo so it must have something good about it. I really liked halo 5, loved the environments enemy variety, silky gameplay and story was pretty good, felt like a pretty good sci fi show.
