Halo has been on the decline for over a decade. Let's talk about why, what made it great, and if anything can be done about it.

Pokémon has changed throughout the years. What used to be Pocket Monsters are more like pocket stuffed animals. The original 151 in Pokémon Red and Blue are iconic not just because they are originals, but because of their design. A simpler take on Pokémon and design might be what we need going forward.

    It fell off because hackers. Halo 3 would still be incredibly profitable if they would have given it proper support.

    Halo doesn't need a battle royale, and i will maintain that stance until the end of time. A firefight oriented mode with ODSTs would be an instant hit, yes, but if i logged on and saw that it was ANOTHER basic battle royale (just with odst's this time *smiles*), i would just uninstall, regardless of anything else the game has to offer...

    Yeah where's Halo 3 with Griffball, & what was the 4 team rocket mongeese. On that map with the surrounding towers & the upper level in the sky, the particular map with a ring to drive around on, some of you know Exactly which thing I'm talking about. Hahahaha, fukn Duck Hunt. Oooh JENGA Halo went corporate.... That's what ahppened, everyone knew they signed a contract to just pump 3 more titles out for Microsoft. Always The Best way to make games is under contract from an employer who jsut want's more of that sweet sweet honey I didn't even bother with Reach, watched the cutscenes & relevant dialoguebut even then, it just doesn't feel, until the finale, the ship leaving, holy shit what a scene. But they weren't just left to do it on their own timeline, & flesh out good gameplay & story, & it shows. Basically it lost all it's heart, because of a corporate overlord. And well, Halo 4 & 5, while it sets up Cortana for a great arch, again, it just feels dead inside then entire way through, so much of 5 just feels like filler junk to string the player along. A it's so oversimplified in it's portrayl of Cortana. All they do is show her as some c**t for the entire game & it takes until Infinite to show any actual "wtf happened to this poor cow". They just straight up forgot that Cortana was not a bad Consciousness & that they should probably do something to show how such horrific changes could occur in the poor very short lived creature. Infinte just had to salvage that mess. Bungie being a victim of it's own success, my diction isn't good enough to say what I want but, a company isn't a name, it's the people who make it up at the time. Bungie simply doesn't exist anymore, all that is now is some corporate entity, & nothing more, because the suits, don't see the world in human terms for the most part, it's all numbers to most of them, the name is beholden to that, & yes Infinite did some Oh my god, the new guns in Halo 4, yep, wtf, another same thing with new skins & fancy animations, like jingling keys in front of a baby, look, shiny new thing, we made..... & all I feel in the face of that, is "s*fu you corporate mess", you've ruined a good thing for the laziest of reasons. I'm sorry, you went on to say ther Must be some kind of aim assist...... I don't play Halo 1 anymore because you LIterally Cannot turn that magnetising shit off, & I've tried paying it for the nostalgia, & I just cannot stick that god awful Forced aim assist, I just have to turn it off..... I absolutely abhore it, I got so used to truning all that stuff off where I could I simply cannot play on controller with any degree of stickyness to an enemy....... That is 1 hell of a toxic statement to make, "It Must".....

    A big part of it too is the social aspects. There are no pregame or postgame lobbies anymore, you can't party up to stay with the people you just played with, you can't seamlessly jump from social slayer to custom games, and you don't have the mic turned *on* by default.

    My first console was an Xbox 360, and although I played 3 and Reach before it with friends, the first Halo I owned was Halo 4. I will admit, despite it's flaws, I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Albeit I never played multiplayer. But when I finally played Reach and 3, I saw exactly why people call 4 one of the worst Halo games ever. I still enjoy it because of it's part it played when I was a kid, but it isn't better than the OGs. Halo Infinite is a decent game I won't lie, and I'd say its an improvement on Halo 4 and 5, but there are so many ways it failed as a Halo game that are hard to overlook. Multiplayer especially. The worst thing that has been done with Halo was giving it to 343.

    ODST was such a fantastic game. I know that people were angry about the lack of matchmaking, but like... it's a seriously great game. and dont get me wrong, I loved halo 3 beyond words, and tbh i seriously enjoyed breakout in halo 5 (when it had SMG starts), just the sweatiest fun ive ever had really. and i mean warzone or whatever with the pay to win stuff was loads of fun despite how horrible it really was. Like the concept of tartarus's gavel, prophets bane, norfang, etc are freaking awesome atleast in the sandbox. sure they arent really usable in matchmaking in any reasonable measure, but for firefight/campaign, custom games, like come on its all loads of fun. soooo much potential in the game and thats not even touching on all the vehicles and other nonsense available. i know the movement from halo 5 was a bit much, but in reality it was pretty solid from just a general competitive standpoint. idk. halo is sooo far from dead, it just needs the right people behind it. like i said ODST was just... cheifs kiss. just needs that little push to make it what it profound in comparison to other halo titles. (odst 2? come on anyone? jsut me?... prolly).

    Outside of just adult nostalgia, Fortnite is a total clown show. Halo and COD are just objectively cooler games with better gameplay. Like Star Trek and Star Wars are cool. They were before my time in a lot of senses. But I can see they’re cool. Halo is cool like they are. I don’t know what the total clown show that is Fortnite is.

    You don’t have to make controllers obsolete, just make separate lobbies for controller and pc. The reason they don’t do this now is because the game is dead, and they don’t have the numbers to fill both, which is the result of 343s mismanagement, not crossplays

    I was a pc gamer, cod1&2 (not modern warfare) in the competitive scene. My friend was an Xbox kid and when halo2 online was released I said it would blow his mind and it did. I too thought it was excellent. I think the reason for it's success was it's simple but amazing formula like most games of the era they weren't just pumped with loads of shite they get now, skins building 50 new weapons and weak map packs and just content for contents sake. Halo was a simple arena shooter where all were equal with the same weapons and same chance and getting power ups and power weapons and the maps were excellent. Wish I could have used a controller better to be better but still had so much fun

    Live service games is killing video games. That includes microtransactions in video games of any kind because they always turn into life service games. Just stick with the backlog because we all have a huge backlog that could take us years to get through. Mine might take me 10 years. Or I guess indie gaming is always there too.

    Halo can certainly return to fundamentals in style, in no small part due to how easy it is to have what's proven and tested alongside the off-beat and experimental via game modes. Now as for whether anyone who has the decision making power to make that happen will ever do so? That's the real uncertain element.

It feels like there's a couple maps that are good, but most feel like some random call of duty maps do. I've played halo since the OG xbox and infinite was the first one that felt hollow the whole way through. I will say the art style is good. It's got the best representation of spartan armor out of all the 343 halo games.

    Leaving a separate comment, for the control/mnk discussion. Being someone whose grown up using both my whole life. I personally gravitate towards mnk but don't care too much... Regardless. The easiest fix for the AA debate is easily solved one but 343 won't do it. Just remove bullet magnetism on controller. You can keep the reticle stickiness I have no issue with aim tracking while moving. Whatever. Bullet magnetism is unfair. Full stop. When one side gets it but the other doesnt... that's why these pros play controller. They understand they don't get magnetism on their shots unless they are on controller.

    You are not wrong in the section about forged and gametypes and how halo was unmatched. I also understand that forged was developer supported and ran on consoles. That was unheared of console map making kit. That all being said. Halo 1 or HaloCE on pc was the true birth of custom games and "forge." In 2003 (2 years xbox release) the PC had the port of Halo. Gearbox studios did a lot of the port work. When it released on pc it had online multiplayer. Whereas the xbox ver. Only had Lan and co-op. Pc players were online a year before halo 2 even released. After it came out the dev kit was released at some point. So fans started making maps. I did myself even. In 3Dautodesk. Could make guns and stuff too. So we had h2 maps with multiplayer. Had h2 smgs. H3 BR. It was so beautiful in its prime. I will never forget rainbow road online while that German song plays so loud nonstop. Or playing on death island. There were maps like exicition that were beyond massive. Had flyable longswords. Hell we created the recon warthog. And decades later 343 finally makes their own and called it a passenger hog. It would fit 4 people in it. One of my favorite maps I forgot it's name. It was like a deserty looking ring world with a crashed covenant cruiser and a crashed unsc frigate. Could pilot dropships and scarabs. We also still had stuff like KOTH, TDM, CTF, ONE BOMB, ETC.. we didn't have "offical" griffball tho and no multi-team. God I miss h3 multi-team Edit: sorry forgot the whole reason I posted all this. Roosterteeth was making RvB back in HaloCE. I assume you know that but my nit pick was citing a 2003 source after talking about a 2007 feature release. Not trying to be a jerk love the video.

    as an M&K convert I actually think that infinite did a good job at "balancing" the M&K vs controller issue without committing to either one. Each one has it's strengths and weaknesses but ultimately it balances out and makes little difference in the end. I felt that neither was unfair. It's one of the very few things that 343i did well, and I'm pretty sure it was an accident :D
