Yeah it's funny how the morons over at cesspits like ShitHaloSays (I can't believe that subreddit is still around) just likes to throw around "HaHa BunGo PurIsT!"... and make you look like the bad guy for daring to critique their idol number company when even mainstream UA-camrs have done the exact same. Are they sending death threats to them too? We like Ensemble Studios, Creative Assembly.. we just don't like 343. It's really not that hard to understand.. 343 didn't make HW2, Creative Assembly did. HW1 is still one of my favourite games ever. Bungie wanted nothing to do with that game. I have problems with HW2 in certain areas, but it was still a well crafted game. So how does that make us Bungie purists, exactly? Because if I was, I would hate HW1. I still play it to this day, I still play through mods people have created because the gameplay still holds up, it's still really fun. I can't replay one 343 campaign because it has no replayability. Trust me, I've tried. Halo 4's campaign is just objectively bad gameplay-wise. I am not joking. It is just flat out not fun to play, period. Doubly so on the story, but that's personal opinion. It is funny how the same people like to critique Halo 3's story, though. And we all know what happened with Halo 5. Still haven't touched Infinite because of how much of a sour taste Halo 5 was, and quite frankly I never want to. They unironically pulled a Rise of Skywalker with Infinite. No one defends that movie, but for some reason Infinite's campaign is worth defending when it does the exact same? The types of people who like the sequels are the same types of people who would defend 343. Why defend billion dollar corporations and then under the same breath say you are ""anti-capitalist""? That's just hypocrisy. It's such a shame about Ensemble, too. I really do prefer HW1 to HW2. It just plays so much better to me.
I liked when the factions in Halo had nuance and character. Remember when the UNSC was simply the military government trying to keep hold of a collapsing government due to several decades of civil war and an Alien extermination campaign? Remember when only ONI was a shadowy and interesting organization? Or how the rebels in the UNSC were a complicated mix of people sick of overbearing taxation, lack of trust for the corrupt and backwards government, and also comprised of cells who were unarguably terrorists? Or how the Covenant had a multitude of groups within it all representing the perspectives of different ideologies of the Covenant faith and the many member species within it?
Fr like the spartan program was mixed because while it did save humanity, they were child soldiers made before the Aliens were even known about. The newest generations of Spartans only serves to wipe away the grim backstory of the Spartans. No longer are they kidnapped kids. And many people think the rebels are just generic bad guys??

You got me thinking that I'm glad certain movies were made back when they were, like TLTR and Gladiator. Movies like that can hardly be made now-a-days, and I would say CAN NOT be made now-a-days if it wasn't for Dune .
I wish we could've gotten a Halo anime (just like what Cyberpunk 2077 got with Edgerunners), I absolutely loved what they did with Halo: Legends and have been dying to see an expansion of that since. Plus, most Japanese studios would probably have more respect for Halo's lore than 343 or Paramount.
Ensemble was done dirty and they still kicked ass. Honestly though Microsoft would lose nothing if they shut down 343. They bought like a million studios that have a proven track record in making good games.
Bruh, I could understand using a 2001 Chevy Tahoe as the base for the Warthog, and an AK-47 as the base for the Confetti Maker, but not as actual set pieces.
@@BaxterAndLunala An AK based futuristic weapon would make sense (look at how Star Wars uses as Sterling SMG but puts loads of props on it to make it futuristic looking) But 343 just slapping an AK in there was CHEAP.
@@maxmazzotti6651 they copy pasted Halo Reach's gameplay but instead of fixing its problems they made them worse. The Coalition mishandles Gears of War (look, another Xbox franchise in the mud), but at least they get the gameplay right and screw everything else unlike 343i where they don't get anything right lol
I’m personally really sad the show was cancelled (at least for now) because I got numerous entertaining rant videos out of it. I also got to laugh hysterically at the haye watchers and the people shilling for garbage. Both actions are functionally identical because either way you’re giving them money. It’s the illusion of free choice🤣.
The funny thing about modern weapons in the Halo show is they’re about as out of place as the actual human guns from the games/books. This one guy DWTerminator who has some BRUTAL reviews in the different Halos and other games pointed out that the ammo used by the Assault Rifle and other guns were out of date back when the games were made, and it would be like a modern army using muskets. This is in a setting where they have faster than light travel, artificial gravity, and the enemy are fighting humans with plasma weapons. At the very least they should have caseless ammo, but a good chunk of their guns should be directed energy weapons and rail guns. It makes the universe feel grounded if you don’t know about firearms and want a sense of familiarity it feels grounded, but if you actually delve into the kind of stuff we’d realistically have in the future a good chunk of the setting falls apart.
I never watched the show to begin with. So naturally this is just like hearing that the sky's blue, or that water is in fact, wet. Still does nothing whatsoever to wow me back to getting suckered in again.
I mean, Halsey was always portrayed as being a bit on the sociopathic side, but she was always motivated by what she saw as being good for humanity overall and later, how to best protect the Spartans, who she saw as her children. What really irritated me about her portrayal in Travis' Kilo 5 trilogy was that she is seen being a broken woman, constantly fearful and grief-stricken by news of Miranda's death. That is not the same Halsey from the Bungie era books. That Halsey doesn't get depressed; she gets revenge. Speaking of, one of my biggest gripes about how the UNSC uses drugs to suppress the Spartans' memories in the Halo TV show is that Halsey stated in her journal AND in the Fall of Reach that they could NOT, in no unscertain terms, do anything to make the Spartans distrustful of them. Meaning they would be honest about their pasts upfront when asked by the child Spartans and they would not do anything to tamper with their memories. Because, as she put it, the only thing more terrifying than the super soldiers they're trying to create would be the possibility of one going rogue. Paraphrasing her further, the choice to be a Spartan must be one they make themselves, even if subconsciously.
@Duke_of_Petchington No they did not. They fired one team. Saw something the other day they are rebranding DEI to something else now but it's the same thing. They're just being more subversive with it.
If somebody does pick it up instead of making a s3. I'd rather they reboot it and adapt the bungie trilogy, fall of reach, first strike, and Halo: The flood. Although this might not happen.... Ever...
343 takes over halo and refuses to listen to the original creators and thinks they know better and ultimately blunders and ruins everything. I’m not being toxic, just describing the plot of halo. What did you think I was talking about 🤨
Speaking of the Halo TV series, there is yet still Game Rant that states there may still be hope for season 3. Simply put, it may not be totally canceled.
This is partly why many fans moved on from halo years ago. 343i haven't learned from their failures or listen to fans that actually play the games ever since they took over the franchise when bungie left halo. 343i as a company are grossly incompetent.
@ETTemplar oh god no...no...I hadn't even considered that...but hey if Disney picks it up then they might de canonize the crap 343 did. What am I kidding knowing them they'd just de canonize the Bungie lore.
10 million per episode pales in comparison to the Disney+ Mavrel and Star Wars slop that gets nearly 10 to 20 times that amount per episode. Yet those shows somehow look even worse. Godzilla Minus One was made with a 1/4th the budget a single episode of She-Hulk, and yet looks lightyears better. The Critical Drinker did a video on this a while back, and how a lot of it is terrible management of resources, insane crunch times, and an absurd number of reshooting. I also don't doubt that there is money laundering going on behind the seens as well.
Hopefully a network picks it up only under the guise that it’s reworked. Like Amazon picks it up but only if it’s made in a similar manner to the fallout show. I think networks and producers are starting to under the importance of following source material. At least I hope so after fallout and the last of us
Halo has gotten so bad I don't even play any game in the franchise I've uninstalled every halo game of my xbox. The apathy has set in and I don't care about any future release and it doesn't really help that a certain crybaby so-called consultancy group is involved in xbox game studios and the industry as a whole.
Halo, or at least the Halo we knew, has been dead for a long, long time. I don't care what they do with the show or the games anymore, the soul is gone, long gone.
@BrokenCircle1 i been dipping my toes into the modding but even that is making me mad like om happy the fans can make mods BUT HOW IS IT BETTER THEN A AAA GAME LIKE HOW DO YOU MESS UP THAT BAD MICROSOFT.
@tanaflameheart8883 Idk the Halo modding scene is kinda abysmal lately. Menu backgrounds and mods adding fallout stuff seems to be all there is as of late. I mean it's cool in concept people can do that I just...it pales in comparison to other games modding communities.
@BrokenCircle1 mhmm fully agree i wanted to continue my lil lets play of halo but im just... it kills my mood now so im moving to tf2 and starcraft and minecraft stuff now hell maybe even dungon keeper or more random cat videos lol
Thankfully Microsoft shut down a DEI team. Hope this means 343 will stop with the pandering. I do appreciate that the story hasn’t really gone woke. Also, Haruspis NEEDS to be fired. He’s a radical activist.
I could care less about the tv show, the books, the comics, and any other extension of the franchise. We all know what made halo popular, The GAMES!! specifically the original trilogy. Why the hell would you try and branch off to do other things with the franchise if you can even nail the core of the franchise. No one is going to tell me they love halo because of the tv show.
@@heftymagic4814 I’ve seen the halo tv show the director even said and I quote: we didn’t read into any of the books or look at the games we are doing our own thing, the silver timeline is our own spin on the game. Fun fact the only thing that was halo about the show was the Spartans armour everything else was completely wrong or made up
Me and brother have been fans of this series of Halo since 2004 (and BLACK. GASP!!) and can't stand this nonsense either. This TV series was a dang disaster and irritates me to no end they have all that canon lore and timeline to work with but made this abomination instead. Getting to the point I just refused to watch after a while. Them race-swapping characters as important as Jacob Keyes and by proxy his daughter Miranda was just dumb and done because "of course" it was. The actor who played Jacob could and should have easily been casted as Avery Johnson. But in hindsight, I'm glad our beloved cigar-chomping sergeant didn't appear in that garbage. And yeah, I remember that dumb choice to remove those police lights due to some whining prog. All because some woman-beating, repeat offender loser got himself got himself into a bad situation with incompetent officers and unfortunately killed. Funny they still got the BLM crap despite those grifters getting exposed for money laundering and other shady & *illegal* stuff. Halo too is slowly but surely getting infested by this FAR Left BS be it what you mentioned in the video or the "Body Type A/B" gender bullshit.
@@BrokenCircle1 As expected, I got a lot of shit for noticing and dare touching their golden cow. Kind of funny I'm hindsight seeing Halo Infinite go to shit soon after. Same with that Starfield shit-show a while back.
5:00 The UNSC genocided an entire colony for rising up. Honestly, that's not so far from the truth. 5:42 Yeah. Somehow, having both rebels and the UNSC commit war crimes feels more believable to me.
I feel like we're getting mad at the wrong things here. The writing is bad sure, I refused to watch it because of how dog shit the fx looked. It's the greedy af MS execs that just wanted to turn Halo into a trend chasing CoD clone because that was the make $ formula. I'm sure the rumored and now shelved Halo BR would have been just equally formulaic to ape off of the success of Fortnite and PUBG. As a popular film critic said "Any story can be interesting, it just depends on how it's told." "DEI" and "wokeness" are not the problem. I don't hate Kwan Ha or god forbid her actress because she's Korean, I don't like the character because she's poorly written. Jim Sterling (who's non binary) said it best: "Triple A game companies like EA, Microsoft, and Ubisoft don't just want money, they want ALL the money." They tried to get rid of Jen Taylor and Steve Downes for H4. They fucked over Jeff Steitzer for Halo Infinite too. The details are still on the hush hush cuz mans still needs his $. They fucked over Marty on royalties for Halo Infinite and they settled out of court. MS & 343i even told Paul Lipson that he couldn't talk to or collaborate w/ Marty for H2A AND THEY'RE FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OUTSIDE OF WORK!!! (Might be because of his wrongful termination lawsuit w/ Activision and Bungie and they wanted to stay clear) but still. Total BS. They fucked over Joe Staten. Even the current 343i staff all look so miserable having to lie thru their teeth about updates. I also wonder if it's because Paramount just got bought out too. "Wokeness" is not the problem. The brain dead profit driven mindset of "green line must go up" is. Like can we just get another Halo Legends? Or even more motion comics like "The Return" "Mona Lisa" and "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian"? That shit was 🔥.
4:26 - The writing was weak but it is not like 343i turned the UNSC into something they were not. The UNSC were an authoritarian overreaching colonial empire. The comparison to Nazi's is not actually the worst here but the UNSC with ONI is more like the soviet union with the KJB with a dash of British empire building thrown in. You know something with nuance that sounds plausible. It was also not like the insurrectionists were the good guys while the UNSC were bad (they are Nuking cities after all) but the UNSC was kidnapping children to indoctrinate and turn into super soldiers, and doing who knows what else so I can see why some people responded so violently to them. Yes Halsey was a Sociopath, not trying to control Humanity, just obsessed with whatever it was she decided to work on. I also can see Halsey used as a scapegoat to blame for the Spartan Program so that ONI can keep on doing its thing without scrutiny. I love that set up for the Human-Covenant war. Humanity was getting itself ready for a brutal civil war and then suddenly had to put aside all differences to deal with an external existential threat. That is a very fertile ground for some good story telling if people with actual talent were given the job.
Damn even Ensemble Studios knew to respect the franchise. I fucking hate 343 so much. RIP Ensemble Studios.

Watch Disney Scoop it up and make it worse.... 🤣 out of the fryingpan into the fryer
@ETTemplar oh god no...no...I hadn't even considered that...but hey if Disney picks it up then they might de canonize the crap 343 did.
What am I kidding knowing them they'd just de canonize the Bungie lore.
@@BrokenCircle1I don’t think Disney would handle it
They're trying to be Star Wars so hard they turned the main faction evil and try to portray the rebels as the good buys lmao
Halo didn't die, it was murdered.
It’s just MIA. It secretly is alive in a cave
10 million per episode pales in comparison to the Disney+ Mavrel and Star Wars slop that gets nearly 10 to 20 times that amount per episode. Yet those shows somehow look even worse. Godzilla Minus One was made with a 1/4th the budget a single episode of She-Hulk, and yet looks lightyears better. The Critical Drinker did a video on this a while back, and how a lot of it is terrible management of resources, insane crunch times, and an absurd number of reshooting. I also don't doubt that there is money laundering going on behind the seens as well.
Hopefully a network picks it up only under the guise that it’s reworked.
Like Amazon picks it up but only if it’s made in a similar manner to the fallout show.
I think networks and producers are starting to under the importance of following source material. At least I hope so after fallout and the last of us
343 really needs to be made into a economic class:
"How to destroy the value of an IP"
@@logan_jp3 I suspect someone somewhere in a business class has used it as an example.
Dude I love your channel! Please keep making content, you’re SPOT ON!!!
@@wyattweaver3730 I will whenever I have time. Thanks for watching.
At this point I stopped following the news surrounding the tv show. It’s definitely not made for fan service. Halo as an IP deserves better
Halo has gotten so bad I don't even play any game in the franchise I've uninstalled every halo game of my xbox. The apathy has set in and I don't care about any future release and it doesn't really help that a certain crybaby so-called consultancy group is involved in xbox game studios and the industry as a whole.
@@thedarkmage8137 I don't blame you.
I barely play compared to what I used to.
@@BrokenCircle1 agreed I'm not even playing games from the west anymore, I now play games from the east like from China or Japan.
Am I a POS for still loving and playing Halo although I despise 343 Industries, yes or no?
@@MrWaifuTaker no
Halo, or at least the Halo we knew, has been dead for a long, long time.
I don't care what they do with the show or the games anymore, the soul is gone, long gone.
They want more black people in halo but but they dont use pre existing black characters like the badass johnson in a prequel or something
@@barcelo2304 I would LOVE a game exploring Johnson versus the rebels.
No more Jimmy rings!!!! plus video game adaptions have been a victim of Hollywood since the 90s
This is why i quit halo im just done
With halo or microsoft ps they are putting halo for sale now.
@@tanaflameheart8883 I don't blame you. It's why I've been making videos on alot of things other than Halo as of late.
@BrokenCircle1 i been dipping my toes into the modding but even that is making me mad like om happy the fans can make mods BUT HOW IS IT BETTER THEN A AAA GAME LIKE HOW DO YOU MESS UP THAT BAD MICROSOFT.
@tanaflameheart8883 Idk the Halo modding scene is kinda abysmal lately.
Menu backgrounds and mods adding fallout stuff seems to be all there is as of late.
I mean it's cool in concept people can do that I just...it pales in comparison to other games modding communities.
@BrokenCircle1 mhmm fully agree i wanted to continue my lil lets play of halo but im just... it kills my mood now so im moving to tf2 and starcraft and minecraft stuff now hell maybe even dungon keeper or more random cat videos lol
I love UA-cam videos that just shit all over 343
Thankfully Microsoft shut down a DEI team. Hope this means 343 will stop with the pandering. I do appreciate that the story hasn’t really gone woke. Also, Haruspis NEEDS to be fired. He’s a radical activist.
i miss the underdog UNSC
KWAN HAW and elite lady are gone 😂😂😂 ik ik they want someone to adopt them but at least for now it's gone 😢😂😂
I could care less about the tv show, the books, the comics, and any other extension of the franchise. We all know what made halo popular, The GAMES!! specifically the original trilogy. Why the hell would you try and branch off to do other things with the franchise if you can even nail the core of the franchise. No one is going to tell me they love halo because of the tv show.
Iam a lore nerd and agree with you the show is in no way canon it’s trash at best
>lore nerd
>only knows 343 lore
@@heftymagic4814 I’ve seen the halo tv show the director even said and I quote: we didn’t read into any of the books or look at the games we are doing our own thing, the silver timeline is our own spin on the game.
Fun fact the only thing that was halo about the show was the Spartans armour everything else was completely wrong or made up
Me and brother have been fans of this series of Halo since 2004 (and BLACK. GASP!!) and can't stand this nonsense either. This TV series was a dang disaster and irritates me to no end they have all that canon lore and timeline to work with but made this abomination instead. Getting to the point I just refused to watch after a while. Them race-swapping characters as important as Jacob Keyes and by proxy his daughter Miranda was just dumb and done because "of course" it was. The actor who played Jacob could and should have easily been casted as Avery Johnson. But in hindsight, I'm glad our beloved cigar-chomping sergeant didn't appear in that garbage.
And yeah, I remember that dumb choice to remove those police lights due to some whining prog. All because some woman-beating, repeat offender loser got himself got himself into a bad situation with incompetent officers and unfortunately killed. Funny they still got the BLM crap despite those grifters getting exposed for money laundering and other shady & *illegal* stuff. Halo too is slowly but surely getting infested by this FAR Left BS be it what you mentioned in the video or the "Body Type A/B" gender bullshit.
@gjtrue I forgot about the body type thing. That too.
Yeah this shit is ridiculous. Enough is enough.
Thanks for watching!
@@BrokenCircle1 As expected, I got a lot of shit for noticing and dare touching their golden cow. Kind of funny I'm hindsight seeing Halo Infinite go to shit soon after. Same with that Starfield shit-show a while back.
7:53 wait which cod is that?
World at war modded map. Think its called town of the dead or something.
@@BrokenCircle1 ok it looked like cod zombies
Thank u
@@A1Sauce1175 For...what?
@@BrokenCircle1 for speaking about how horrible 343i is
@@A1Sauce1175 Ah. You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Everything woke turns to shit
Edit: bro said only facts
It never was good anyway
5:00 The UNSC genocided an entire colony for rising up. Honestly, that's not so far from the truth.
5:42 Yeah. Somehow, having both rebels and the UNSC commit war crimes feels more believable to me.
It sucked ass from the start?
I feel like we're getting mad at the wrong things here. The writing is bad sure, I refused to watch it because of how dog shit the fx looked. It's the greedy af MS execs that just wanted to turn Halo into a trend chasing CoD clone because that was the make $ formula. I'm sure the rumored and now shelved Halo BR would have been just equally formulaic to ape off of the success of Fortnite and PUBG.
As a popular film critic said "Any story can be interesting, it just depends on how it's told."
"DEI" and "wokeness" are not the problem. I don't hate Kwan Ha or god forbid her actress because she's Korean, I don't like the character because she's poorly written.
Jim Sterling (who's non binary) said it best: "Triple A game companies like EA, Microsoft, and Ubisoft don't just want money, they want ALL the money."
They tried to get rid of Jen Taylor and Steve Downes for H4.
They fucked over Jeff Steitzer for Halo Infinite too. The details are still on the hush hush cuz mans still needs his $.
They fucked over Marty on royalties for Halo Infinite and they settled out of court.
MS & 343i even told Paul Lipson that he couldn't talk to or collaborate w/ Marty for H2A AND THEY'RE FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES OUTSIDE OF WORK!!! (Might be because of his wrongful termination lawsuit w/ Activision and Bungie and they wanted to stay clear) but still. Total BS.
They fucked over Joe Staten.
Even the current 343i staff all look so miserable having to lie thru their teeth about updates.
I also wonder if it's because Paramount just got bought out too.
"Wokeness" is not the problem. The brain dead profit driven mindset of "green line must go up" is.
Like can we just get another Halo Legends? Or even more motion comics like "The Return" "Mona Lisa" and "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian"? That shit was 🔥.
Plz tell me the more black people in halo guy was fired plz
@shocktrooper3335 no he's literally the current head of 343
@@BrokenCircle1 goddammit
4:26 - The writing was weak but it is not like 343i turned the UNSC into something they were not. The UNSC were an authoritarian overreaching colonial empire. The comparison to Nazi's is not actually the worst here but the UNSC with ONI is more like the soviet union with the KJB with a dash of British empire building thrown in. You know something with nuance that sounds plausible. It was also not like the insurrectionists were the good guys while the UNSC were bad (they are Nuking cities after all) but the UNSC was kidnapping children to indoctrinate and turn into super soldiers, and doing who knows what else so I can see why some people responded so violently to them. Yes Halsey was a Sociopath, not trying to control Humanity, just obsessed with whatever it was she decided to work on. I also can see Halsey used as a scapegoat to blame for the Spartan Program so that ONI can keep on doing its thing without scrutiny.
I love that set up for the Human-Covenant war. Humanity was getting itself ready for a brutal civil war and then suddenly had to put aside all differences to deal with an external existential threat. That is a very fertile ground for some good story telling if people with actual talent were given the job.
Man I really wish I never watched this video 😔
Nice racist meme at 30 seconds. You lost a sub.
