Halo Franchise

What's your opinion on the series? Halo 1 was groundbreaking when it came out on XBox.. I loved Halo 2, I hate to know how much of my life I spent playing that multiplayer. To me it'll always be the best. Also enjoyed Halo 3.
To me, it all started going down hill with Reach.( speaking of online only because Reach's Campaign was good I thought) Halo 4 I thought was just ok.. I'm really not digging guardians that much.. Haven't even finished the campaign etc..
I'm trying to decipher if I'm just burned out with FPS altogether, or if the more fast paced, gimmickier(reqs) stuff has turned me off.
Just my opinion and if you enjoy it that's alright also. Just wish I could enjoy it like the old days of slaying it up on Burial Mounds, Beaver creek, Blood Gulch, and Zanzibar..

I think Halo is an amazing franchise, but I finished the fight with Halo 3.
I played Halo 4 and thought it was good, but the spark was gone.

Halo Reach was actually the best game in the series IMO.
Halo really started declining after 3 and really, as a whole, has begun to focus more on the graphical aspect rather than the gameplay.

I played 1-3 religiously. I did enjoy Reach with friends but frick that online. Halo 4 lasted me a bit and have yet to get 5 but I plan on it.

Has gone to shite
COD was and is, the worst thing to happen to gaming.

Halo 5's story was meh, but the gameplay is great and the multiplayer was my favorite since 3.

Halo 2 was the last GREAT game in the series. 3 was good, but the introduction of bubble shields, gravity lifts, etc. ruined it for me. I didn't touch another Halo after 3 until Halo: MCC came out. That game was a broken mess, and I bought 5 and really really enjoyed it. However, it wore quickly for me, and now I no longer have an Xbox One.

Halo 5's game play brought back the early Halo feel for me. And while Reach was different, it was still a blast to play.

The Franchise is still the best out there. I think people like to think its dying for a few reasons:
1) they are getting older and have less time to play. I played Halo 3 an ungodly amount and wont ever play as much halo 5, doesn't mean halo 5 is bad, in fact I think H5 is the most fun game yet.
2)People don't like the changes even though they are for the better. Sure even though people buy Fifa and madden every years there are always complaints its the same game, Im glad halo tries to be innovative. Halo reach was when things really started to change and after more tweeks in 4 they got it all perfect for 5.
3) People are stuck in their ways and the past. I will forever call Halo 3 the best game because it its the first one I really got into and played the most. I honestly think Halo 5 is more fun than 3 but will never say it is better because I am a stubborn old man everything was better back in my day.
Like you said Halo CE was ground breaking and re invented the FPS and saved the xbox from being a failure
Halo:2 introduced online and was crucial in the survival of XBL
Halo:3 was my favorite none of you can change that
Halo: Reach was different with all the changes but really not as bad as people like to say
Halo:4 was a beautiful game and corrected some of the mistakes of reach but still had its own problems
H2A actually had the potential to be the best of the series but they didn't give it enough love.
Halo 5. Most fun game yet, player movement with the abilities are perfect, graphics are amazing. Gameplay is perfect. people give the game shite for Req cards and stuff but that's such a none issue I shouldn't have even brought it up
All of that^^ was about MP because that's why we stick with halo. the Campaigns have been good in all the games. CE is the best though
Basically what im saying is that Halo is not dying. We are
As we get older we have less time to play and less time to learn the new mechanics so we get frustrated and complain then give up. Damn growing up sucks

Probably not a popular opinion here but I've never liked Halo all that much or understood why it's so heavily acclaimed. I feel like the original Halo was just a right place, right time kind of game. I was mostly into PC gaming at the time of Halo 1 and thought it was fine but nothing special.
I've played Halo 1 - 3 and Reach (not to mention, some Marathon 1 & 2). I enjoyed Reach the most but after beating the campaign decided they probably simply weren't for me and that's alright.
However, I do love that you can play the Halo campaigns in 4 player co-op. I wish more games did that.

Halo 5 multiplayer is fun but damn the story sucks. Really hurt the game for me, also no split screen is just stupid.
Posted on 1/28/16 at 10:37 am to Jiggy Moondust
Best console multiplayer series of all time. Don't get me wrong, it is not as nearly as popular as it used to be. However, Halo 5 is really starting to spark interest in the community. Halo 2 was tGOAT. Halo 3 is my personal favorite because of how much I played it. Halo 5 is now third for me, and I believe it has some of the most competitive multiplayer. 5 is pretty tough to master, and if they would take out radar I believe it would be up there with 2 and 3

I have to admit I used hate Halo. But now that I'm married, with a full time job and 2 kids I just don't have the time to invest in gaming much. I recently got an Xbox One and I got Halo Reach when they made it compatible. I loved the fact I didn't have to put much time in at once. I bought Halo 5, loved it. Both single player and online play is great. It's the only game I have for my Xbox right now, mostly because I don't have to invest much time in it. I can just pick it up and play for about 20-30 minutes and I'm good.

No split screen? Wow. 343 can get faucked
Posted on 1/29/16 at 1:21 am to Theoldgraycoat
They wanted to ensure you had a consistent frames per second in all game modes. They didn't just say hey, frick split screen.
Posted on 1/29/16 at 2:19 am to Theoldgraycoat
Yea looking back I am glad they did it. This is one of the best online mulitplayers I have ever played
Posted on 1/29/16 at 9:57 am to Jiggy Moondust
Minus the boosters in Halo 5 I think the regular online (Not the 20v20 req shite) is actually really good. Clamber is a great addition. The removal of a ranked doubles playlist really ticks me off though.
