Greg Bear wrote halo novels? Suddenly I am interested in reading halo novels! This hasn't happened since I found out Brian Evenson wrote Dead Space novels.

I know I'm repeating myself here and I'm gonna stop derailing this thread, I promise, but you should really check out Halo: Cryptum if you have interest in both the author and halo. The best of both worlds! :D

Woof, I'd rather not :D A lot of the quality of the Forerunner Trilogy is down to Greg Bear's prose. It's so mysterious and weird, completely different from anything else in the Halo Universe. There are various Wikis where you can get the gist of the plot, but that really wouldn't do the story justice imo.
Haha oke. But how does it relate to the leak then? :)

The moment Xbox had awesome 3rd party reveals (Sekiro, DMCV, Cyberpunk 2077...) narrative shifted to "but they are multiplats". Like, who cares... They were part of great E3 show. People will find any excuse just to trash talk :/.

Eh who cares. This trash talk is almost irrelevant in the world of gaming we're going to. Microsoft, the richest mega-corporation in the world, doesn't need us to fight their battles. Just enjoy the games shown. My Elite controller is ready.

Sprint is fine for SP for me and MP also with how they balanced it. I am perfectly fine with it. Ground pound and hover gone i like tho. Never felt like a realistic thing to use mostly and used occasionally that it felt gimmicky.

The origin of some base characters in Halo, cough cough 343 Guilty Spark, are the imprints of said characters, both a florian and a human that accompanied the Iso-Didact
, if my memory doesn't fail me, I could be wrong... it's been a while since I've read greg's books.

Edit: Added the spoiler just in case someone hasn't read the books

I'm with you. I feel like the spartan charge was also terrible. Sprint is fine, and I like the thruster.

On the note of being a lore junkie though, the thing about the village of humans/hobbits sets alarms off for this probably being fake. It wouldn't be impossible, just incredibly weird that they got left or placed there. Humans were left on the ring at one point, but they got rescued by the iso-didact, and after the activation of the array, there wouldn't have been a reason to keep them on the ring. Some other detail would have to be introduced to explain that.

I'm just now catching up on these Halo Infinite "leaks" and I don't care whether it's real or not, these ideas are absolutely hilarious.

No idea what numbers they broke but CVG had a quote from a Rare dev that they made lots of money, unfortunately (or conveniently for me!) the original article no longer exists but N4G have the quotes https://n4g.com/news/180397/rare-perfect-dark-and-kameo-sold-phenomenally-well

Both should have had sequels

I have a feeling that the halo leak is legit.

Someone several pages back pointed out that The Lord of Admirals being alive doesn't make sense without fairly large ret-conning, and that the "leaker" probably just read a lot of Halo wiki pages.

I'm not caught up on the Halo novels so I'm not gonna try to explain it but it has something to do with 343 Guilty Spark, anyone can feel fee to jump in on this.

Also the fact that he says the Spartans look surprised when they see the Hunters and Elites at the end of the demo. How? HOW?

Maybe I'm alone here, but I'm about halfway through Halo 4 and like it a lot more than 2 and 3 so far. This is my first run through the Halo games. I prefer how 343's take on Halo looks, feels, and tells its story. I didn't enjoy Halo 3 much at all.

cod mp with a halo skin over it. changes made to the halo formula just for the sake of it. inconsistent art styles. less focus on the game story and more on ancillary books and comics.
most of all you've stated is so wrong. Bungie made similar mistakes too and besides Halo 5 mp was lauded for being solid. Also how do you know Halo infinite will be like previous games?

If you are playing through MCC I understand why Halo 3 would feel off after finishing Halo 2 anniversary. I had that same feeling first time I played through the Halo games starting with MCC (Unless I count the time I completed Reach while sleeping over at a friends house).

However after completing them all and replaying some of them on different difficulties it has made me appreciate Halo 3 a ton, I really enjoy the level design, the OST and the story.

A lot of people like 4's story telling, but be prepared to see it thrown out the window.
Make sure to get all the terminals.

Halo 4 probably has my second favorite campaign (after 3) and favorite story of them all.

A lot of people didn't like it because it lacked the big pseudo open world levels of the other games but I personally enjoyed the shooting quite a bit.

Halo 5 tried to correct that by making the levels bigger and more open but they still came off as mostly linear So It was kind of a step back in both regards. Plus the squad aspect kind of sucked.

I think sprint is fine in Halo. The map design in my honest opinion is what needs improvement, and maybe limit grenades a bit more. I think its far too easy to spam grenades the way it was in Halo 5. Just my opinion.

Steverulez yes Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, and even Viva Pinatas sold well. Kameo and Viva Pinatas is actually some of Rare's best work ever. I wish they didnt have so many canceled projects during the X360 era, but none the less still super excited for their next game announcement.
