| DivinePaladin said: I quit after Reach due to a massive lack of confidence in 343, but having just got an XBO I was pleasantly surprised to find that I somehow have a digital copy of Reach. I've been playing some matches of that, since it's still my favorite shooter to this day. Getting ready to play Wars 2 soon, because I also absolutely loved Wars. I was a BIG Halo guy in the Bungie years. 4 and 5 really do nothing for me, though, so I'll pick up MCC and stick with 1-3, ODST, Reach, and Wars. Glad to hear the series clicked with you! |
They did give away a copy of Halo: Reach with Games with Gold at one point.
Halo Wars 2 is a solid title as well, not as refined as the original Halo Wars, but easily more fleshed out.
Sadly the Multiplayer component lacks population and is thus useless to me. (For both Halo Wars 1 and 2.)

I would like to see a return to Halo 3's multiplayer whilst retaining some aspects of Halo 5's multiplayer. (Namely map size and player counts.)
Halo 3 you would have power weapons, vehicles, power ups and grenades strew around the map, meaning you were required to learn a map and use strategy to gain and retain control over key map areas.
It just made gameplay far more interesting and strategic, something that was lost with later titles where you essentially just run and gun and maybe use a microtransaction card thingo.
| Mandalore76 said: I played all of the mainline releases as they came out and replayed them on the Master Chief collection. But, I completely skipped Halo 5 when I heard they eliminated the split-screen co-op. |
I own every Halo game on every platform release ever.
That was a massive letdown not having split screen in Halo 5, but it wasn't the only crappy thing about it.
Halo 5 launched with no forge, no theater, no file share, no game modes like grifball and infection... And they pushed their Microtransaction, aka. Req packs which in my opinion Reqqed the game.
Plus the games single player was critically panned, ended on a cliffhanger, visuals just wasn't up to expectation, terrible marketing campaign... And the game released with a limited number of maps.
Now I can get that they were going to release a ton of content updates for free, but those content updates should have been in the game from the very beginning with new and fresh stuff coming later... And by the time those updates rolled out, I was already bored and moved onto other games.
Microsoft/343i massively dropped the ball with Halo 5 and deserve all the criticism they got.
The important take away from it all is that I hope Microsoft/343i took that criticism on and used it to make Halo 6 a much better release... And for christ sake I hope they ditch their lootbox/microtransaction garbage, it adds nothing to the game.
