Halo is coming back. Guys what was the problem with 343 the past 12 years? I'll give you 4... Bonnie Ross Frank o Connor Chris Lee Kiki wolfkill Microsoft fired them now. Pierre Hintze is running the studio. He has already proved himself fixing Halo MCC with only 15 other devs for 2 years and that was just to make all the titles playable online! I'd changed the name of the studio to wash away Bonnie Ross and Frank o Connor
Microsoft IS the problem. And Pierre Hintze is Microsoft. Bungie was very stubborn when it came to running their studio as if they were independent and didn’t tolerate much executive interference. As long as Microsoft has their greedy paws pulling the strings, halo will never be allowed to thrive because the larger a company is, the more out of touch they are.
Nothing's really changed a new name? a different logo? UE5? They called them research projects. Are we in high school? We go through this every single time they announce something. Have you forgotten the Halo Infinite animals and biomes we never got? They intend on saturating the market with multiple games, and we're supposed to believe they can handle the workload with the way they manage people that work for Microsoft?
They’ve allegedly hired new people and replaced the ones who are accused of running Halo into the ground in the first place, but I’m still not impressed or interested. I hear they intend on creating a Halo CE remake. This leads me to believe they may try and hard reboot the original series. Could be interesting (for good or bad) at best, and a last dying breath of the franchise at worst. I wonder how they’d handle Halo 2, since the original version way back was scrapped essentially.

It says on the news that 343 was re-branded into Halo Studios, this alone doesn't really mean much. They will have some of the same people working on the new games as before, so don't get too excited just yet. I like what I'm seeing here but we gotta take it with a grain of salt
They literally changed the whole administration also they fired the employees that were underperforming around March/May....they kept the good employees plus they're hiring new people
I agree with you man, but you know how people are. Just takes a rebrand apparently to make people forget the last three games. 343 has changed staff members before and it only got worse. Only reason their changing now is because 343 is straight poison as a name. I’d actually give them some slack if they said they were starting fresh after Halo 3 and undoing all the crappy retcons and additions to the lore they did.
People are really quick to forgive because of a name change. Which they only did because 343 as a name is just poison to anything its attached to. The same hype was for Infinite and its “Future” and we saw how that turned out. Not saying it’s impossible for Halo to turn around, just very unlikely unless a new dev team is given the reigns.
New leadership, new devs, new direction, new era. don't punish this studio for the failings of 343. its not fair. not until Halo studios produce something until then we have to give them the benefit of the doubt. Microsoft basically red wedding 343 and fired a lot of people. that's why the name change because its not 343 anymore
@@G0DKILLER_ They’ve changed leadership before, a new name won’t absolve them or wash away 343’s baggage. Only way Id give them a clean slate is if they reset and undid all the crappy retcons they made. Just start fresh after Halo 3 and Id give them nothing but optimism. If not? Then they have to produce something to show they are completely different with good writing for once.
Skepticism is understandable but you gotta acknowledge that the problem with 343i (the management) is completely gone and the devs are being allowed to be creative again. I’m not saying they deserve a pass because they do need to earn the trust but it is worth pointing out that this is essentially a new studio with veteran devs at the helm
Agreed. It needs to be a juggernaut in the industry again - it *ROCKED* the 2000s and others that rocked the industry back then are still going strong to this day.
@@TheSsjJoker only way is if they bring back loadouts and change the color gameplay into something of its own new wave with a similar formula like cod. If they don’t evolve with cod and do better they’re done
@@titanicclub9481 following what cod does is why the halo 4 multiplayer was lacking…load outs are fine cuz reach did that but im not saying fps shouldn’t take little bit from each other for example if the next game took the movement system from what their doing with black ops 6 that would be sick
@@hazzaka4236lol right? I know you’re joking, but it’s insane how quickly people trust these people who have ran Halo into the ground and proven incapable time and time again
i think rebuilding Halo 1-3 in Unreal 5 with added story and lore would be awesome. they then can scrap everything after Halo 3 and make their own Halo 4 game. basically a soft reboot of the series or they can do the accidental time travel thing popping him in after Halo 3 and with his knowledge change the story from there.
nevermind just figured out 343 just changed their name to Halo Studios. nothing is gonna change the next halo is still gonna suck. microsoft/xbox really needs to take this franchise from them and give it to a better studio.
You guys are fools. Every single halo game since reach people have said "halo is back!" Just to be disappointed year after year. You guys are just like call of duty fans. Halo died after 2010 and it's never going back. Stop getting hyped to get disappointed.
@@EtherealBias totally agree, but since halo 4 this has been the most promising thing. Like ya things sounded promising like the entire period before infinite but it ended up being nothing. This time at least we hear they are working on MULTIPLE projects, unreal engine, kinda just a new person with the name, a lot of leads that helped MCC come back and also start fixing infinite after 2 years. Just hopeful but yuh we wont know anything until an actual release to see if it did anything.
The old engine of halo 3 was perfect if upgraded properly was relatively realistic and simple lol. 343 was incompetent not the engine they had . Engine doesn’t matter if there is no passion behind a game . People are easily fooled by smoke and mirrors.
I remember growing up being so excited for Halo; going to midnight releases, skipping school the next day, and diving right in with my buddies. The old games weren't perfect, but you could tell they were projects of passion rather than profit. 343 in my opinion has let down so many fans who wanted sequels that stayed true to the vision that Bungie laid the groundwork for. I truly hope this new studio can create something incredible.
"We totally replaced our old leadership with proven competent leadership, are rebuilding our studio with new talent, and have switched to a new engine that should allow for those new hires to come in with prior experience, and allow us to be more creative rather than constantly help back by technical issues." But sure. All they did was change their name...
@@YouGotTheLthat made no sense… do you even know what racism means? Should people not take hints from time proven stereotypes? Or should we just empty our brains and not be “rAcisTS?”
I wanna get hyped for Halo again. Everyone remember how beautiful Infinite's concept teaser was vs the final product. Need to manage expectations, Halo has let me down so many times since Halo 4 onwards.
I’m right there with you! I’m so pumped right now but at the same time managing my expectations so I don’t get let down like I was for the catastrophe that was Infinite.
Please remember guys that even though their name is different and this is a new group of people, this is still the same studio that made those previous halos. Whether you like it or not! I want to believe that this is a new chapter for Halo. But I'm keeping my expectations extremely low. Until then, they have to prove us wrong that they can make a halo game that's fun again.
@SpeedyGaming It's literally not the same team, are you guys even paying attention? It's been reported for MONTHS that 343 leadership was fired along with a COMPLETE overhaul on employee hiring practices. Don't downplay this because this is significant change we've not seen since Bungie let go of the series.
Only the dumbest among us are "blown away" by this. Its just a studio rebrand and transition to UE5...they aren't cleaning house, they aren't fixing their woke mindset, they aren't replacing their DEI hires, and they aren't replacing directors or upper management. They will destroy the next Halo entry just like the last 3, just in UE5 this time around
Exactly most of these ppl r too focus on the visuals that they fail to realize the flaws this studio has & the ppl working behind this 🤦🏻 it’s going to be a disappointment
been saying this on every overhyped halo studios video i come across. the people who get hyped from this will be the ones to pre-order and then act surprised when it flops hard. give halo to a brand new indie team, bring back Marty, the people who wrote Halo 2 and 3 and the people who designed the gameplay loops then Im sold
it's still the majority of 343, so as much as i would love to see a new light, I'm also realistic so i doubt any improvements will be made, but I'm welcome to be proven wrong, in fact I highly hope to be proven wrong until then, i have no confidence in them.
All the fancy graphics in the world won’t make up for a lack of fun gameplay and well written story so I hope these guys will actually do well. Also hopefully they will include all the content on launch instead releasing it one part at a time
DEI all over this new studio. This next studio will be another soulless corporation wearing my beloved franchise as a skin to push half baked games, micro transactions and let’s not forget “the message”. I’ve been burnt to many times and I’m not stupid enough to fall for this again. I’m hoping fan projects will shine through that’s the only way any breathe of life will return to this franchise….and it saddens me
Setting up the foundry to allow the workers, the designers, the artist, the digital designers, everyone involved. It’s a really good sign because it at least hence to us that they care about the project they’re starting to create.
Tbh if this isn’t Rated M then I’m passing because I’m tired of the T rating we need back that darkness that use to be, blood/gore, scary themes of the flood, deep dark serious language, and fear. When I first played halo ce when it came out on the original Xbox and that level to this day when we get introduced to the flood had me horrified and scared tbh.
HYPED! The new studio name will take some getting used to, but I like it, it’s basically a new studio anyway. Most their issues in the last few games were caused by engine limitations, so I’m excited to see them unlock their potential with Unreal!
It's crazy that they spent 6 years between games in large part building the Slipstream engine, only to use it for one entry with apparently zero single player DLC (which was promised as a 10 year game at that) and then moving on. I hope the mismanagement of Halo is over, but it's been abused so long... After dumping the last games lore (again), the end of Infinite was potentially looping into some interesting stuff, I hope they don't just end it in a comic or off screen again and start something new yet again. The Endless seem to be a way to make everything come up Precursor, as it was always meant to.
Halo Wars had some really good iterations of energy swords in its cutscenes. From a cursory search, it looks like that was Blur studios as well (since you mentioned Blur's rendition in Halo 2 Anniversary).
Halo has to be R-Rated again. They need to bring back the plot points that people care about. Give it that high testosterone war feel. THEY KNOW WHAT WE WANT!
I want Halo 3 anniversary. Mainly cause i want to see Halo 3 through a modern lens. I also just don’t trust them to make a full on new game. It would also be good for them to learn what made Halo great and how to use unreal engine 5. I hope the name change is indicative of a new studio as well in terms of personal.
I don't know what the fuck this would be if not a tech demo, literally just them fucking around in the engine. It's not a game, it's probably not any remake. They're just showing off graphical fidelity, which is neat, but ultimately doesn't mean much when games come out all the time looking great, but still being garbage regardless. Any further speculation is just heresay. Im begging people to have some fucking nuance, after so many game companies have screwed things up, 343 included, it's crazy that still has to be said. It's great to be excited for possibilities. Just don't get swept away by some fancy graphic showcase.
Please take US!!! All back, back to a time when Halo was really meant to be played an enjoyed by all. the Lore, the adventure, the secrets to discover .🎉
Halo Infinite also sounded really good when the first trailer came out. The gameplay felt good but the rest was just sad. As a big Halo fan, I still played 400 hours and still had hope for the first 3 seasons.
@@king_dot actually is the other way around lol.... Microsoft gave Kiki Wolfkill, Lee and the previous studio head way too much power and authority over Halo and they messed it up.... thanks to Microsoft for stepping up they fired the whole administration also the lazy devs that were underperforming and replaced them with people who really want to do something special and they're making sense by switching to UE 5 to make Halo a graphical powerhouse once again
I don’t see anything changing sadly. Im pretty jaded that any newcomer coming into the halo franchise wont know jack shit about it and the culture will probably be the same.
Halo was a major part of my Childhood, In fact I've been taking heavy Inspiration from Halo with my own Series of books game's and maybe even an Animated Pilot one day that I've been working on. So I'm gonna be hopeful skeptical about It for now.
@@Warpee Basically It's been a passion project of mine for the past several month's, the premise of It will pretty much be a cross between Halo and the SCP Foundation but I have taken Inspiration from some other thing's as well Including the game Papers, Please and some other stuff too. Currently I'm working on the book series well I should be able to start developing the game series sometime around next year but I might try to do some other smaller stuff as well In the meantime.
@@mutantrabbit767 funnily enough despite working on this for the past several month's I still haven't managed to think of a title for It, but basically think of a mix between Halo and the SCP Foundation but different In It's own unique ways. (I already wrote a better explanation)
This, with ported infinite assets, other playable factions and races, allegiances, basically Halo Wars but first person. Basically battlefront in Halo. I'd fucking buy that. Lemme play as a Kigyar assassin with energy blades, lemme drive a scarab, give us more freedom and capability to express and customize the way we play! This is your CHANCE Halo Studios.
I'm so done with people cheering as soon as there is a halo guy. GUYS.. Halo isn't the armor, halo is the story, the mechanics, the passion. Like this so people can see, and think deeper. Or we keep trading one villain for another.
Ya'll are getting hyped over a rebranding and "new leadership". That new leadership whose only major accomplishment has been leading EA's Sports microtransaction team
@@G0DKILLER_ The same guy who took 6 years to fix it? Then when the fans refused to let it be monetized he shut down all support for it? Yeah, that guy.
I’ve been trashing modern games like AC and Dragon Age ruining their franchises so much lately, this reveal just made my day. I think we’re just getting started
Btw, the new armor is a combination of the old Bungie Armor and the new and bulky 343 one. The helmet is pretty bungie like, while the armor has the 343 touch. I love it. It connects these two perfectly Y
I know Ima get hate but being an old fan I wish they stuck with the Halo 4/5 style, really tired of the generic landscapes, just looks like a remake, just give us a new ODST or something Halos IP is dying with Microsoft
I remember staying up late in the summer playing halo 2 co op with my fav cousin! We had so much fun! That damn scarab I remember halo 3 multiplayer and just how much skill it really took to get a killing spree do not forget that last scene driving the warthog I remember odst that really put me in that suit in new Mombasa I remember reach having a story so good you couldn’t help but cry at the end , loadouts? Legendary! I remember halo 4 ordnance drops that just made it so iconic ! New stages! The saw undefeated I remember super fiesta in halo 5 that I played endlessly until I was always number 1 and bringing my team to victory ! I now play infinite and I feel a new dawn… and I can honestly say as someone that has been the chief been noble six played against and beside some of the greatest players worldwide….im ready for the new dawn…. There is so much potential and I think the new team is doing well and they will continue to do well! Let’s give the team all we can ! And no we’re not puppets , we’re Spartans
After a beautifully done Remaster of the main trilogy is released, I do hope that they go their own way w/ a Halo 4, 5, etc. Bring back the Didact as he is an interesting enemy but don't kill him off after one game. Give him more time. Spend more time fleshing out Cortana's rampancy. Show more of what happened to the Arbiter after he went home. Make Locke and Tanaka more interesting Spartans as Vale and Buck were handled well( though Buck was hard to fumble tbh ). So much that could be done. Just..so much. Glad this team seems to truly love Halo. Here's hoping for the best!
Halo Studios needs to look at halo 3’s multiplayer and ADD to it. Not make compromises like they’ve done ever since. Even Reach started compromising on content even though it’s a great game. The gameplay fundamentals are there in infinite, with FAIR starts and the spartan ability drops brings it back to what made 3 so much fun. Bring back the spartan laser, dual wielding is simply FUN, bring back the awesome explosions and detailed vehicle destruction where Infinite’s is lackluster. Bungie Halo is timeless and still fun to play today, even CE is enjoyable in a charming way. This next game needs to be a CLASSIC to bring halo’s reputation back
I'm going to keep my expectations measured here. While yes, 343 had issues dealing with the maintenance of the Slipspace engine for Infinite; this studio as a whole has shown with multiple game releases that they don't grasp what the Bungie titles offered the players in terms of gameplay experience. Up until they commit to a fun gameplay experience over competitive serialization - I don't think any release will be received all that well. I WANT to believe in them, and I am hopeful of these 'other' projects possibly taking inspiration from other game formats to allow us expanded opportunities to dig into the world/lore in new ways...but there is still a STEEP walk to win some players back: in my opinion.
I love the visuals, I would like to have the environment be interactive in some areas, like Halo 3 brushing past leaves, etc, just to let it feel more sandboxy and have a sense of discovery. Like as a player wandering around and finding out what I can interact with and utilise that in combat potentially.
I’m not getting my hopes up just yet. If/ when a new game comes, I’ll try it regardless because I want so badly for it to be good. But for me, the engine was never the issue I had with the last few games. Halo 3 was the peak of competitive gaming and simultaneously the peak of fun party games and LAN parties. And the things they took away from us 1. Armor was a sign of achievement 2. The bungie website that tracked insanely detailed stats, heat maps, and made it easy to share maps, theater clips, ect. 3. Bullet ricocheting 4. Assassinations 5. The grenade launcher 6. Invasion Just to name a few off the top of my head.
I want them to succeed, but am not expecting anything. I've seen the interviews of the original Halo developers, and these people in this video sound like they don't know what really makes Halo or video games in general fun. The original Halo game developers were highly critical of their own work and spoke more like artists that were trying hard to perfect their craft. They spoke specifically of the issues they needed to solve and how they approached game and level design. They didn't speak so arbitrarily and they didn't focus on how things looked, but on how things in the game played. 343 in their studio interviews were the ones talking about how nice their graphics looked and how great they thought their own game was. This video from Halo Studios sounds more like the 343 video to me. Sorry guys I am just very skeptical these days after everything in the gaming industry and everything that has happend with Halo post Reach. I just can't hold out hope for this. I will still check out gameplay and everything, but I just don't see it in this one.
To me, Halo isn't about the graphics. It was the nostalgia. You felt like humanity's last hope. Saving the soldiers who felt alive and respected you for what you are; An alien killing machine on a spree. The physics when driving the warthog was the most fun I've ever had in vehicle gaming. Mounting the MG on he abck of the warthog while the AI takes you to the next objective was something I'll never forget. Banshees at aerial combat was something else. When dual wielding came out at Halo 2, you just felt even more of a badass. Halo is NOT just about graphics, in my opinion.
Moments like this remind me why I started my channel 13 years ago - I love Halo!!

They fired the leadership, the stripped a lot of the problems and hired people who give a f*ck
Nah most of the people, the higher ups especially were fired pretty recently it was pretty much a new studio in everything but name before this
I agree with you man, but you know how people are. Just takes a rebrand apparently to make people forget the last three games. 343 has changed staff members before and it only got worse. Only reason their changing now is because 343 is straight poison as a name.
I’d actually give them some slack if they said they were starting fresh after Halo 3 and undoing all the crappy retcons and additions to the lore they did.
None of this really matters tbh
People are really quick to forgive because of a name change. Which they only did because 343 as a name is just poison to anything its attached to. The same hype was for Infinite and its “Future” and we saw how that turned out. Not saying it’s impossible for Halo to turn around, just very unlikely unless a new dev team is given the reigns.
Right there with you dude. I'm hopeful but not by much. I'll belive it when I see it. I want halo to be good. I love halo. But I dunno
New leadership, new devs, new direction, new era. don't punish this studio for the failings of 343. its not fair. not until Halo studios produce something until then we have to give them the benefit of the doubt. Microsoft basically red wedding 343 and fired a lot of people. that's why the name change because its not 343 anymore
@@G0DKILLER_is there anyone from the team that revived MCC and did the last few good patches for infinite?
@@G0DKILLER_ They’ve changed leadership before, a new name won’t absolve them or wash away 343’s baggage.
Only way Id give them a clean slate is if they reset and undid all the crappy retcons they made. Just start fresh after Halo 3 and Id give them nothing but optimism. If not? Then they have to produce something to show they are completely different with good writing for once.
Skepticism is understandable but you gotta acknowledge that the problem with 343i (the management) is completely gone and the devs are being allowed to be creative again. I’m not saying they deserve a pass because they do need to earn the trust but it is worth pointing out that this is essentially a new studio with veteran devs at the helm

Agreed. It needs to be a juggernaut in the industry again - it *ROCKED* the 2000s and others that rocked the industry back then are still going strong to this day.

I dunno if they're gonna pull through on this. 343 has screwed it up a LOT. Fingers crossed they do it right.
Halo is in a identity crisis. Their now targeting the simple minded Gen Z
i think rebuilding Halo 1-3 in Unreal 5 with added story and lore would be awesome. they then can scrap everything after Halo 3 and make their own Halo 4 game. basically a soft reboot of the series or they can do the accidental time travel thing popping him in after Halo 3 and with his knowledge change the story from there.
Keep Reach
Everyone loves Reach
Bring back the pilot and any good character from 343, some definitely need to be back
nevermind just figured out 343 just changed their name to Halo Studios. nothing is gonna change the next halo is still gonna suck. microsoft/xbox really needs to take this franchise from them and give it to a better studio.
Oh god no, don’t let 343 ruin Halo those as well with their crap writing and retcons, strictly gameplay and visuals.
@@AllanWorks are you dumb?

Yeah I just said the samething. Peoples feelings are going to be hurt. I am hoping not but look at the track record....
@@EtherealBias totally agree, but since halo 4 this has been the most promising thing. Like ya things sounded promising like the entire period before infinite but it ended up being nothing. This time at least we hear they are working on MULTIPLE projects, unreal engine, kinda just a new person with the name, a lot of leads that helped MCC come back and also start fixing infinite after 2 years. Just hopeful but yuh we wont know anything until an actual release to see if it did anything.
Nobody should care about graphics as much as the game's soul
The old engine of halo 3 was perfect if upgraded properly was relatively realistic and simple lol. 343 was incompetent not the engine they had . Engine doesn’t matter if there is no passion behind a game . People are easily fooled by smoke and mirrors.
I remember growing up being so excited for Halo; going to midnight releases, skipping school the next day, and diving right in with my buddies. The old games weren't perfect, but you could tell they were projects of passion rather than profit. 343 in my opinion has let down so many fans who wanted sequels that stayed true to the vision that Bungie laid the groundwork for. I truly hope this new studio can create something incredible.
GO WOKE GO BROKE. This is time to learn from others mistakes COUGH! (SW, Disney) excuse me. I have a tickle in my throat
Halo infinite was a pretty decent looking game, but when you look at 0:38 , it is apparent at just how far ahead UE5 is visually.

I wanna get hyped for Halo again.
Everyone remember how beautiful Infinite's concept teaser was vs the final product. Need to manage expectations, Halo has let me down so many times since Halo 4 onwards.
I’m right there with you! I’m so pumped right now but at the same time managing my expectations so I don’t get let down like I was for the catastrophe that was Infinite.
Please remember guys that even though their name is different and this is a new group of people, this is still the same studio that made those previous halos. Whether you like it or not! I want to believe that this is a new chapter for Halo. But I'm keeping my expectations extremely low. Until then, they have to prove us wrong that they can make a halo game that's fun again.
Yup same team, same song and dance, im not buying it. If they genuinely cared about Halo it should’ve been at 4. That ship has sailed
its entirely new leadership? the big 3 demons were fired along time ago
@SpeedyGaming It's literally not the same team, are you guys even paying attention? It's been reported for MONTHS that 343 leadership was fired along with a COMPLETE overhaul on employee hiring practices. Don't downplay this because this is significant change we've not seen since Bungie let go of the series.
thats like saying modern bungie is still the same bungie that made halo, its not most of the people that worked on infinite are gone
I'm not pre ordering it this time no matter pre order content they try to push. I'm going to wait for the reviews.
Only the dumbest among us are "blown away" by this. Its just a studio rebrand and transition to UE5...they aren't cleaning house, they aren't fixing their woke mindset, they aren't replacing their DEI hires, and they aren't replacing directors or upper management. They will destroy the next Halo entry just like the last 3, just in UE5 this time around
Exactly most of these ppl r too focus on the visuals that they fail to realize the flaws this studio has & the ppl working behind this 🤦🏻 it’s going to be a disappointment
@@JLeeCN agreed
been saying this on every overhyped halo studios video i come across. the people who get hyped from this will be the ones to pre-order and then act surprised when it flops hard. give halo to a brand new indie team, bring back Marty, the people who wrote Halo 2 and 3 and the people who designed the gameplay loops then Im sold
I believe you’re right
You don't have to play it or watch any of the videos talking about it

Really I didn't realise (i have not finished the video yet (cancel that he is totally eating smh))
I know he is Chris but why does he introduce himself as Ron sometimes

it's still the majority of 343, so as much as i would love to see a new light, I'm also realistic so i doubt any improvements will be made, but I'm welcome to be proven wrong, in fact I highly hope to be proven wrong until then, i have no confidence in them.
343 changed it's name and will continue to make garbage
All the fancy graphics in the world won’t make up for a lack of fun gameplay and well written story so I hope these guys will actually do well. Also hopefully they will include all the content on launch instead releasing it one part at a time

If its a ce remake the magnum needs to be absolutely busted op.
Tbh if this isn’t Rated M then I’m passing because I’m tired of the T rating we need back that darkness that use to be, blood/gore, scary themes of the flood, deep dark serious language, and fear.
When I first played halo ce when it came out on the original Xbox and that level to this day when we get introduced to the flood had me horrified and scared tbh.
HYPED! The new studio name will take some getting used to, but I like it, it’s basically a new studio anyway. Most their issues in the last few games were caused by engine limitations, so I’m excited to see them unlock their potential with Unreal!
It's crazy that they spent 6 years between games in large part building the Slipstream engine, only to use it for one entry with apparently zero single player DLC (which was promised as a 10 year game at that) and then moving on.
I hope the mismanagement of Halo is over, but it's been abused so long... After dumping the last games lore (again), the end of Infinite was potentially looping into some interesting stuff, I hope they don't just end it in a comic or off screen again and start something new yet again. The Endless seem to be a way to make everything come up Precursor, as it was always meant to.
Halo Wars had some really good iterations of energy swords in its cutscenes. From a cursory search, it looks like that was Blur studios as well (since you mentioned Blur's rendition in Halo 2 Anniversary).

It would also be good for them to learn what made Halo great and how to use unreal engine 5. I hope the name change is indicative of a new studio as well in terms of personal.
I don't know what the fuck this would be if not a tech demo, literally just them fucking around in the engine. It's not a game, it's probably not any remake. They're just showing off graphical fidelity, which is neat, but ultimately doesn't mean much when games come out all the time looking great, but still being garbage regardless. Any further speculation is just heresay. Im begging people to have some fucking nuance, after so many game companies have screwed things up, 343 included, it's crazy that still has to be said. It's great to be excited for possibilities. Just don't get swept away by some fancy graphic showcase.

I remember staying up late in the summer playing halo 2 co op with my fav cousin! We had so much fun! That damn scarab
I remember halo 3 multiplayer and just how much skill it really took to get a killing spree do not forget that last scene driving the warthog
I remember odst that really put me in that suit in new Mombasa
I remember reach having a story so good you couldn’t help but cry at the end , loadouts? Legendary!
I remember halo 4 ordnance drops that just made it so iconic ! New stages! The saw undefeated
I remember super fiesta in halo 5 that I played endlessly until I was always number 1 and bringing my team to victory !
I now play infinite and I feel a new dawn… and I can honestly say as someone that has been the chief been noble six played against and beside some of the greatest players worldwide….im ready for the new dawn…. There is so much potential and I think the new team is doing well and they will continue to do well! Let’s give the team all we can ! And no we’re not puppets , we’re Spartans
After a beautifully done Remaster of the main trilogy is released, I do hope that they go their own way w/ a Halo 4, 5, etc. Bring back the Didact as he is an interesting enemy but don't kill him off after one game. Give him more time. Spend more time fleshing out Cortana's rampancy. Show more of what happened to the Arbiter after he went home. Make Locke and Tanaka more interesting Spartans as Vale and Buck were handled well( though Buck was hard to fumble tbh ). So much that could be done. Just..so much. Glad this team seems to truly love Halo. Here's hoping for the best!
Halo Studios needs to look at halo 3’s multiplayer and ADD to it. Not make compromises like they’ve done ever since. Even Reach started compromising on content even though it’s a great game. The gameplay fundamentals are there in infinite, with FAIR starts and the spartan ability drops brings it back to what made 3 so much fun. Bring back the spartan laser, dual wielding is simply FUN, bring back the awesome explosions and detailed vehicle destruction where Infinite’s is lackluster.
Bungie Halo is timeless and still fun to play today, even CE is enjoyable in a charming way. This next game needs to be a CLASSIC to bring halo’s reputation back
I'm going to keep my expectations measured here. While yes, 343 had issues dealing with the maintenance of the Slipspace engine for Infinite; this studio as a whole has shown with multiple game releases that they don't grasp what the Bungie titles offered the players in terms of gameplay experience. Up until they commit to a fun gameplay experience over competitive serialization - I don't think any release will be received all that well.
I WANT to believe in them, and I am hopeful of these 'other' projects possibly taking inspiration from other game formats to allow us expanded opportunities to dig into the world/lore in new ways...but there is still a STEEP walk to win some players back: in my opinion.
2:27 now I want halo plus the matrix lmao
IT LOOKS BREATH TAKING 😮 I love the water, it looks super realistic and Masterchefs armor is spot on! Almost an exact replica of Spartan 2s!
I love the visuals, I would like to have the environment be interactive in some areas, like Halo 3 brushing past leaves, etc, just to let it feel more sandboxy and have a sense of discovery. Like as a player wandering around and finding out what I can interact with and utilise that in combat potentially.
I’m not getting my hopes up just yet. If/ when a new game comes, I’ll try it regardless because I want so badly for it to be good. But for me, the engine was never the issue I had with the last few games. Halo 3 was the peak of competitive gaming and simultaneously the peak of fun party games and LAN parties. And the things they took away from us
1. Armor was a sign of achievement
2. The bungie website that tracked insanely detailed stats, heat maps, and made it easy to share maps, theater clips, ect.
3. Bullet ricocheting
4. Assassinations
5. The grenade launcher
6. Invasion
Just to name a few off the top of my head.
This next game better be rated M
I want them to succeed, but am not expecting anything. I've seen the interviews of the original Halo developers, and these people in this video sound like they don't know what really makes Halo or video games in general fun. The original Halo game developers were highly critical of their own work and spoke more like artists that were trying hard to perfect their craft. They spoke specifically of the issues they needed to solve and how they approached game and level design. They didn't speak so arbitrarily and they didn't focus on how things looked, but on how things in the game played. 343 in their studio interviews were the ones talking about how nice their graphics looked and how great they thought their own game was. This video from Halo Studios sounds more like the 343 video to me. Sorry guys I am just very skeptical these days after everything in the gaming industry and everything that has happend with Halo post Reach. I just can't hold out hope for this. I will still check out gameplay and everything, but I just don't see it in this one.
To me, Halo isn't about the graphics. It was the nostalgia. You felt like humanity's last hope. Saving the soldiers who felt alive and respected you for what you are; An alien killing machine on a spree. The physics when driving the warthog was the most fun I've ever had in vehicle gaming. Mounting the MG on he abck of the warthog while the AI takes you to the next objective was something I'll never forget. Banshees at aerial combat was something else. When dual wielding came out at Halo 2, you just felt even more of a badass. Halo is NOT just about graphics, in my opinion.
Seanw Dubs was right all along!
OG Halo fan and hearing that theme in the background, something has changed, it's subtle but it's NEW and it's got me giddy like Reach
