Current Events > Why was halo5 such a stale game?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Talk about a waste of money- same four maps over and over

halo has sucked since 343 entered the picture IMO

i think it turns out a lot of people didnt like halo as much as they liked games made by Bungie. It just so happened that Bungie was making Halo games, if that makes any sense

this

also from a lore and storytelling perspective, 343 obliterated what made the franchise interesting and unique.

Whereas before it was a fairly grounded sci-fi military story with some fantastical elements (like the Forerunners and Flood) tossed in, now it's just gone full generic space opera/sci-fantasy

Reach was by Bungie and was the first step down the slope

Halo needed to continue having the core mechanics refined and balanced instead of falling for the meme of loadouts and other poorly thought out changes

Halo 2(or 3) HD: Ultra Edition would be much more interesting than anything 343 or Bungie could do in a new Halo

I completely agree as the game is beyond stale. Multiplayer is kinda lacking and not enjoyable

Bump

I was in the minority that thought Reach was incredible. 4 got stale for me really fast, I never even finished Campaign mode. Haven't touched 5 but 4 did alot of damage for me.
