"HALO 4 ALREADY CAME OUT F*CK FACE!", you say.
Yeah, I know. But I feel this should be discussed about it. (So shut up)
Look, I like Halo, especially Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo Reach. That's one of the reasons why my username is the way it is. But lets talk about Halo 4.
Here's the brief history: After Halo: Reach, Bungie decides to end the story at Halo 3 but make their last game: Halo: Reach, when Microsoft heard about the news, they weren't too excited about it. Than afterwards Bungie sells Halo to Microsoft for a million and something like that dollars. And as a fan of Halo, I don;t blame Microsoft. BEFORE YOU SH*T YOURSELF KEEP READING. When Halo was released with the first Xbox, not the VHS player that we know today as the Xbox One, it was the back bone of Xbox. When Halo: CE came with Xbox, people played it for hours, days, months, and even years; and craved the path for its success. Ever when the Xbox 360 came out with Halo 3, PEOPLE STILL PLAY IT TO THIS DAY.
So, when Microsoft bought Halo they gave the task to 343 to make Halo 4. And I wont lie, the gameplay was fun, I enjoyed it.. But something was missing. Something felt so off-putting that it didn't feel like Halo. If listened to the main themes of Halo 1, 2, and 3; and then listened to the soundtrack of Halo 4 they give off a certain vibe, of you will. The soundtrack of Halo 1, 2, and 3 gives off a ancient but modern universe. But if you look at Halo 4, it sounds more futuristic and less ancient. Even in the architect of the buildings in Halo 1, 2, and 3 they look alike but give off the vibe as before put more refined, but when you look at Halo 4, its more futuristic but less ancient. It didn't feel like Halo.
However, when Halo 2 Anniversary came out, I loved it. I loved how if how it looked. I loved the gameplay. I loved how it felt. But then a critical sentence popped up in my head immediately, "This is what Halo 4 should have been." And that sentence repeated over over again. Halo 2 Anniversary had refined graphics and gameplay, but still managed to have the modern but ancient look and feeling.
But lets rewind, Bungie is done with Halo. If you had the power to cancel to transaction of Microsoft buying Halo what would you do? If I had the power, I would cancel it. Halo, at this point, is like a very old dog that you knew well and loved very much. At some point you just have to shoot it and let it rest in peace because it was in misery. Unless you know for sure that someone can the same, but better.
343, if you reading this than please take this as advice and not as criticism, you did well an the gameplay but not the feeling of it. Please model Halo 5 after Halo 2 Anniversary. But I'm not saying 343 is bad. In Halo 4, they hosted spacial game modes that were fun. You guys are cool just model Halo 5 after Halo Anniversary.
What do you think of this? Do you agree? Or do you Disagree? OR are you just going to a b*tch and spew a bunch of false statements that can be disproven from this post or a google search? Ether way, DON'T DO THE LAST OPTION.
Thanks guys
