Shoulda done this from the jump. Cortana and MC story is done, been done. Bungie left the franchise where they did for a reason, they painted themselves into a corner. There is nothing you can do with those characters that won't feel like you're just digging up a grave and cheapening what came before.

MC did his duty and now he's MIA like all real spartans.

:to: :salute:

Halo wars had me hype for halo lore...

Then halo 5 came out and killed all that.

Halo 4 was the last good campaign in the series anyway. They lost me with the evil Cortana shyt in Guardians and then completely deaded the story in Infinite. Halo is one of the games that benefitted from linear mission structure, much more fun to breeze through that way. Never touching Infinite campaign again.

People have a weird love/hate relationship to Halo 4, but that story and ODST were top tier Halo for me.

Same for me that opening mission and the whole buildup to releasing the Didact was crazy. Best weapon variety, the Chief and Cortana relationship at it's peak and a decent villain with motivation. They even did a creation of humanity story that made sense for the Halo world if you're into that.

Damn shame what's happened to it tbh

Man, I wish 343 would fix the MP anticheat shyt for the Steam Deck, because I have been craving to get back into MCC. People slept on Halo's 4 MP which was extended on Halo 5 and we all seen how that went :unimpressed:

Oh nah I gotta disagree there that's the multi that exposed 343 not being able to create multiplayer maps in the same league as Bungie. I don't hate Halo 5 or Infinite multi but the maps as a whole don't hit for me.
