You must not have been on any halo forums back in the day then

Even comp settings removed equipment so huh

oh ok i only watched the demo footage they showed during the event. not sure how to feel about all these new guns then 🤔

You don’t think reach’s models standout with their overly done-up appearance?? Lots of textures (like on the elite’s arms with the ridging) and shiny s*** on them, grunts wearing a gas mask with rounded back arch lol

Lots of this can be blamed on Reach’s armor customization tbh they put a lot of flair into the elite models for it

ehhh i guess some were fun to use casually, but they had no place in the game if you played competitively. only added cheese mechanics 🤷🏻‍♂️

I have hope for the weapons tbh At the end of Halo 5’s life they had so many guns (too many tbh) and a lot of them were throwbacks like the H2 battle rifle and Reach’s grenade launcher. I’m hoping it gave them a good scope of what the fans liked vs what they didn’t like.

Though the lack of H5 magnum is concerning af for me. Loved that gun to death.

The aesthetic of dark and gritty doesn’t fit the design of the covenant’s species for me at all. IT’S TECHNICALLY WELL DONE but i do not like it at all personally, it looks muddy & grey in comparison

THANK YOU

It’s the simplicity of the designs of the covenant and the color that pops that really match with it’s environment and truly really feels like a Halo Game.

That Halo 3 Elite model is perfection

The brutes in H3 were terrifying looking lmao they def nailed the campaign aesthetics with H3 imo

Shoutout HCE anniversary and H2A anniversary tho

long live Halo3Forum

I F***ING LOATHE THE DESIGNS OF THE COVENANT IN HALO 4, 5 and 6 now! I thought they could fix that.

Ayeeeee! BIG shoutout there lmao I was on all of them tbh MLG, Bungie, Eve Films, THF lol such fun times

Anniversary Games nailed what i liked about the covenant for the most part

I still think the biggest crime ever was how H2A played like H2 in the campaign but f***ing H4 in the multiplayer

Tragic

i like the extra armors the elites and grunts got tbh the elites come in different ranks/species so i feel like that warrants the extra armors

It’s totally a matter of preference so I feel you 100%. I always felt like there was a fine line that they crossed with Reach’s look but I’m also biased af against that game lol it essentially costed me what could have been a career in gaming as dumb as that sounds

you played competitively?

Yeah lol my first MLG event I actually played in was for Reach. almost beat Nickmercs’s team in second round with a last minute team despite them being the #1 team online at the time

The game killed my passion during a primetime for the gaming scene where ppl like Ninja (who was ass) were starting the streaming revolution. I was streaming from h2-h3 for fun but reach didn’t do it for me so I stopped lmao big mistake

15 years old going to random cities and drinking free Dr. Pepper with online friends was peak Halo for me

Two finished games on engines that the devs have been working with

Vs an 8 minute clip on a new engine from a build a few months back that still needs polishing

h2 br you say? got my attention dude lol nothing more satisfying than hitting someone with a bxr or double shot reeeeeally want to like this game. at least it'll be on game pass so won't have to shell out $60 for it

oh, that's right, they magnum in h5 was somewhat similar to the ce pistol right? this new one in infinite made me think of an improved version of the h2 pistol with the quicker rate of fire

how he gonna respond to a miniscule multiplayer rumor but avoid everyone’s critiques on the graphics looking like a Xbox 360 game

What is 343 supposed to say about some people not liking the aesthetic‘s or visual style they chose for the game ?
