Stickied Topic Megathread – Halo’s Future

753 Upvotes

As you have probably heard, Halo Studios has been reduced to a small team that will support the current games and community. Activision will be putting together a new team to make a new, full Halo title. (source)

Link to previous discussion of the announcement.

This thread is for discussing the future of Halo with Activision.

What are your expectations, hopes, fears, concerns, and otherwise thoughts about it? Do you want a reboot or a sequel to Infinite? When should it take place? Do you have a pitch? Let’s discuss.

If you find actual news about the game from either an official or well-respected source, feel free to make a new thread. Otherwise, let’s keep the discussion here. You don’t need to make a whole thread just to share your specific thoughts or speculation.

If you'd like to discuss Halo's past with 343 Industries/Halo Studios, use this thread.

In case it needs to be said: there is absolutely no decent reason to celebrate the loss of hundreds of peoples’ jobs. Of course you are free to discuss and criticize the decisions made by leadership roles and executives that led us to this place. But the majority of the employees who lost their jobs today were people like you and me who were trying to do their best for a franchise we all love. Anyone who celebrates the loss of their livelihood will be banned from this forum.

Specifically and especially for the way it treated the dynamic between Cortana/Chief. I think it was a very appropriate way to advance Master Chief's character beyond the mostly-silent archetype without feeling like too much of a departure. I also wish they kept with the future that H4 was setting up, because I would love to see what the original next arc in this story was intended to be before Halo 5: Guardians came to be.

Discussion Why weren’t Engineers in Halo 2 and 3?

81 Upvotes

I know they were removed from Combat Evolved. So late that they were modeled and included in the manual. They would then feature in the first four books with First Strike and Ghosts of Onyx arguably being their biggest showing. They were also mentioned in the Halo 2 conversations from the universe, the Halo 3 Bestiarum and the Halo Graphic Novel. So how come Bungie didn’t reimplement them in the games until ODST?

Hard to believe it’s already been 11 years since Halo 5 came out. Perhaps the most controversial game in the franchise, it is still a game worth celebrating. Cheers, Spartans!

Good evening, everyone! Here's a video from inside the bridge of a Paris-class frigate as its MAC fires a few rounds! Honestly, I keep forgetting I'm NOT making a video game, but I'm having just as much fun with this as if I were. Blowing up Covenant ships is so much fun, especially since I haven't programmed them to fight back yet. Otherwise, I'd be absolutely screwed! 😂

Discussion Halo 3's intro is pure magic. Spoiler

75 Upvotes

And I'm saying this without having any nostalgia for this game, my first playthrough was around 2023.

The night sky over the forest, the high strings and woodwind instruments playing in the background, and Cortana's dialogue over it all as the music crescendos, all finally culminate with the reason as to why Master Chief is so special.

Luck. Not because he's the strongest or the bravest, but because of his luck.

And then after that, there's the aftermath with Johnson thinking Chief's dead, only for him to grab onto his arm proving he's still kicking.

AND THEN there's the feud between Chief and The Arbiter with that sweet, sweet piano melody in the background, it's just too good...

164 Upvotes

Hey, guys! I’ve been pretty busy lately, but here are a few WIP updates on what I’ve been working on!

  1. UNSC Frigate Bridge: I’ve been working on the main command bridge for the UNSC frigates, defining the stations and responsibilities of each operator: HELM (piloting and maneuvering), NAVIGATION (navigation, course plotting, and Slipspace operations), WEAPONS (general weapons systems and the MAC cannon), among others. I’ve also been working on making the ship’s captain fully controllable, allowing them to move freely around the bridge. I’ll still need to set up each station with its respective officer. I’m also working on making every screen display real-time data relevant to the systems and responsibilities assigned to each station.

  2. Paris-Class Frigate Structure: I’ve been 3D modeling the overall structural framework of the Paris-class frigate. The goal is to eventually divide the ship into sections and properly organize its internal compartments and numbered decks.

  3. Pelican Flight Controls and Boarding Ramp: I’ve also been working on the Pelican’s flight controls and its personnel boarding ramp. I’ve added steps to make it easier to board the Pelican when it’s landed and the ramp is fully lowered to the ground. These steps pivot and retract automatically depending on the ramp’s angle.

  4. Covenant Weapons: I’ve also been refining the Covenant ships’ weapon systems a bit, although I’m still far from satisfied with how they look.

Still plenty of work ahead, but things are starting to come together!

Sup !

Never played Halo besides a couples times in my buddy’s basement 20 years ago. Not familiar with the campaign.

Is the Halo Campaign Evolved game on ps5 worth it ? Seen some harsh critics and wondering if it’s worth the 70$ cad for it.

Thanks !

Misc Need help finding a minifig

Post image
4 Upvotes

I've been searching over a decade for a minifig that I lost ages ago. Its a brown spartan wearing Mark VI armor, very little articulation (if I remember correctly it only had a single ball joint inside the torso, allowing you to separate the top and bottom portion, or swivel the figure) it was in a running/dash stance holding a standard battle rifle. It honestly looked like Master Chief painted brown. It was definitely from the Halo 3 era if that helps. Any comments are appreciated, any help is needed. The image below is the closest I can find, but its 12 inches and more articulate than what im referring to.

I personally enjoy Halo 5's Warzone Firefight due to the Req Weapons and variety of options to take something down, the only thing i don't like are fighting things like vehicles or the Knight round 5 bosses. I also think the Goblin was a really cool addition to the mix. I love using The Answer on Hunters its such a awesome weapon.

what you do basically is run while the banshee is shooting at you in the right and the jump on that rock and with good timing the banshee will crash on the wall killing the elite and leaving the banshee intact.

Discussion Is the Halo Community in a state of depression right now?

2 Upvotes

This community used to be very supportive on community ideas or concepts for the Halo community. Being new game ideas, tools, mods, conversation points about pro and cons of new Lore. This community would support it and ask questions about it. Some giving their opinions or wanting to help out.

But now this community just seems to be very stale about anything. I’ve seen countless posts of people posting about some new idea. That post gets downvoted and negative comments. People criticizing it for being generic or “Not Halo”. But never having a reply explaining why they said that. Like people are scared for Halo right now.

Maybe it’s just me and you think I’m crazy. But that’s what I have been seeing lately.

Discussion Would you recommend the Halo series to someone who has no interest playing multiplayer? If so, should they start with the Combat Evolved remake or original?

14 Upvotes

Like, if someone only cares doing the solo campaign of it, should they even touch Halo series in general? Especially today since Halo is not as big and relevant like it was in its prime days.

If your answer is yes they should still play it, then would it be better to play Combat Evolved remake or the Original (Please only take into account gameplay and experience, NOT the price of the games or how accessible one is compare to the other one).

Edit: Also please keep in mind that I don’t have reliable PC, but an Xbox series console.

Discussion Halo 4 Flood Design

Thumbnail

1.1k Upvotes

The Spartan flood from Halo 4 really interests me because it shows what a theoretical combat form would have looked like in 343's early style. The claw is rigid rather than being jointed like fingers. It also lacks the infection form popping out the chest forcing the head back. On the head, it has been drastically warped, the eyes being plated over and the mouth having jagged teeth (reminds me of the Gravemind from Halo 2:A). Along with the other concept art, it makes me wonder what the flood could have looked like if 343/Halo Studios stayed with their aesthetic and explored them.
