Is anyone left from the bungie halo days?

I come back from time to time to see if anyone here is still an ancient dinosaur like myself. If you are from the old halo days, do you like infinite?

    I havent touched Halo since the Reach days. Halo 2 was peak Halo IMO. Would have been Halo 3 if it wasnt for the wonky trueskill system - it was more straightforward in H2.

  • Hell I don’t know the exact date my account on here was made, like pre destiny 1 for sure but it didn’t exist from the very start either. I gave up on halo since Halo 5. I gave em two chances and the second chance just ruined it for me so much that I didn’t buy infinite’s campaign and I do not play its free to play multiplayer. Modern day halo just isn’t halo to me. Even ignoring the fact the modern games launch barebones day one and take a year to add in core modes, they just don’t look or feel like halo either. Some dudes gonna just parrot I want a carbon copy of halo 3 but they’d be dumb thinking that way. It’ll take a lot to get me back into halo, first I would need to see universal praise cause all 3 of 343s (now rebranded into halo studios) games are just mixed reception. Then I’ll be seeing if it even launches feature complete cause again waiting a year for them to add in staple game modes is just dumb and more importantly it needs to look and feel like a halo game. I believe we’re just past the days of halo being a fun ip and at this point it’ll be milked because of its name until they can’t pull anymore money from it. It’ll be halo mcc for me otherwise.

    • I've been playing since Halo 2. I've been on BNet since 2007 because that's when I finally got cable internet and was able to actually play multiplayer. I used to post a whole lot back in the Halo era. Was quite proud I got to Exalted Mythic Member. -me123456789

    • I stopped playing multiplayer with Reach. So I never gave it a shot with infinite. Since Reach the combat loop is just Titanfall 2, which I enjoy way more. It’s too fast, it’s too short of a TTK, it’s not fun like the good old Big Team Battle days. It’s not Halo. It’s Call of Halo. I personally waited and played the Infinite campaign a few months ago. I actually enjoyed what was there but what is there is just not a complete game. The biggest issue with the campaign is there’s only one biome. That is a huge let down as Halo is famous for amazing changing environments each “level.” Infinite really dropped the ball with lack of diversity with the campaign in a open world. Also there’s a whole section of the map that is unplayable. I think Microsoft went about it all wrong. They should have focused on the campaign cause while it’s not the best it is better than Halo 5. Had Microsoft gave the campaign away for free and folks had to purchase the multiplayer I think it would have incentivized them more.

      Yep still here. Halo 2 and 3 were peak. Dont think anything will quite top those times for me. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.

    • I think I only recently (in the past year or so) passed Halo 3 with Destiny 2 as my most played game. I played the crap out of it. I also played Reach and ODST (just not as much). Halo 3 was like my high school childhood game. While I enjoyed the campaign of Halo 4, I did not enjoy Halo 5 at all (but did like its multiplayer). I tried Halo Infinite, got the campaign, and I think I stopped halfway lmao. I just cannot get into it at all.

    • There’s probably enough of us still alive to purchase Bungie itself if we all pooled our Bungie rewards points together. You guys want to buy Bungie back? I’m sure halo is still awesome, no opinion. I do rocket league

    • Regarding Infinite in terms of gameplay or multiplayer that would be a no from me, in terms of story and lore that will also be a no from me. Visually it is more Halo than that terrible tv-show with Mastercheeks.

      • Right here. Remember Reach ❤️ Infinite isn't bad, I like it. But it's not great either, unfortunately.
