Im actually bored playing Halo infinite. the open world they did is very ubisoft like.
Back to Deathloop.
-
@b-cell yeah the campaign i'm getting bored with.
I'm loving the multiplayer though
-
@b-cell it’s a big mish mash of a lot of open world games. With some mgsv, shadow of Mordor and botw elements. Ultimately it feels like they could have went further but they didn’t want to sacrifice the halo feel.

And finished…
Light spoilers
it was a good ending but the complaints of the repetitiveness of the environments are apt. Also it feels too much has happened between 5 and infinite to get your bearings on what Cortana was up to. It was like they were closing on her story between the games.

I find it to be a shame that so many people can't even play Halo 5 before Infinite because it's not on PC. If I'm not mistaken, you can't even stream it over Game Pass cloud. It makes no sense to have any connecting tissue to the Halo 5 plot if:
A) Many people disliked the story anyways, and
B) You can play Halo 1-4 and Infinite on PC but not 5...Not that I really want to play Halo 5 much anyways since I've heard it has the worst Campaign mode, but by the sounds of it, a YouTube synopsis isn't very helpful in catching you up either.

@dipset it does have connections but it feels like there is a game’s worth of content in between. I didn’t play halo wars 2 so idk if that content is there.
-
Atriox is in Halo Wars 2. i haven't finished halo wars 2 though. that game was so weird compared to the first halo wars game
-
@yoshi what’s the timeframe for that
-
@bigdude1 from the wiki
"Halo Wars 2 takes place in the science fiction universe of the Halo series. The game is set in 2559, 28 years after the events of Halo Wars and shortly after the events of Halo 5: Guardians."
Halo wars 2 was weird and felt nothing like the original Halo wars though so i only completed a couple of the campaign levels and then never bothered finishing the campaign so i couldn't say how long the campaign is

Sharing some of the wholesome stuff I saw on Reddit/YouTube during the final days of Halo 3 and Reach.
After playing so much MCC, it's crazy to see how old Halo 3 on 360 actually looks. Especially the frame rate. I can't imagine how the heck we used to play this 4-player split screen multiplayer on my friends 15" Sharp HDTV which was pretty snazzy for the time. Like, I couldn't even imagine doing that today. But those memoires are too good. I'd never trade it in for anything.
RIP Halo 3!
This video reminded me of the menu's. And I completely forgot 5v5 used to be the default.
Spartan gives a beautiful eulogy to sendoff Halo 3's Xbox 360 release and then caps his last flag:
