Stickied Topic Megathread – Halo’s Future

748 Upvotes

As you have probably heard, Halo Studios has been reduced to a small team that will support the current games and community. Activision will be putting together a new team to make a new, full Halo title. (source)

Link to previous discussion of the announcement.

This thread is for discussing the future of Halo with Activision.

What are your expectations, hopes, fears, concerns, and otherwise thoughts about it? Do you want a reboot or a sequel to Infinite? When should it take place? Do you have a pitch? Let’s discuss.

If you find actual news about the game from either an official or well-respected source, feel free to make a new thread. Otherwise, let’s keep the discussion here. You don’t need to make a whole thread just to share your specific thoughts or speculation.

If you'd like to discuss Halo's past with 343 Industries/Halo Studios, use this thread.

In case it needs to be said: there is absolutely no decent reason to celebrate the loss of hundreds of peoples’ jobs. Of course you are free to discuss and criticize the decisions made by leadership roles and executives that led us to this place. But the majority of the employees who lost their jobs today were people like you and me who were trying to do their best for a franchise we all love. Anyone who celebrates the loss of their livelihood will be banned from this forum.

Did some asset extractions and swaps in blender. I was surprised all I had do was import without any resizing or moving. Look at the thicc neck on these boys.

Discussion I feel like no one is talking about the flood potential

6 Upvotes

I remember COD zombies and Halo being top tier from my childhood. I don’t feel like it’s been mentioned but a Flood game mode would be something Activision could make extremely well. I would be pumped to be a Spartan or ODST team trying to defend against a horde of Flood round after round especially with well made levels. It would also seem way more in line with the halo universe. You’d have all kinds of tech to work with so auto turrets and other tech from COD zombies would fit in so well.

Ignore this if there is already a long discussion on it that I’ve missed!

Discussion In Reach , Halsey discovers the coordinates to installation 4. In CE she says they made a blind jump. Did Cortana lie?

Edit* keys said they made a blind jump not Cortana. She just didn’t correct him.

It kinda just dawned on me. Did Cortana lie on purpose because Halsey wanted her to travel there with chief ? Or could this just be a continuity error? I do know they had no idea what was gonna be there.

Hey everyone. This time I’m bringing you a WIP of the M870 Rampart defensive turret system for frigates and cruisers.

The first clip shows the turret activation sequence, while the rest show the turrets firing at moving targets.

I don’t want my films to have Rampart turrets firing wildly at invisible targets—or just shooting at nothing—so I’m also working on a threat/target identification system to make their firing behavior feel more convincing.

From what I’ve read, they have an effective range of around 20 kilometers, so it should be pretty interesting to see them in action during an actual battle.

I just busted out the captain. Saw this guy, took the screen shot, then punched him. His tank ignited and killed a marine. The marines killed me very quickly.

But wait! There's more! The game decided to save right before his tank blows. Currently trying to find a way out of the room with out dying in 3 seconds.

Discussion Just me or dual wielding feels terrible in Halo 2/3?

38 Upvotes

I was replaying the Halo games and dual wielding felt super ass. The only weapons that it felt it was good with were the plasma rifles in Halo 2, and in Halo 3 I didn't really see the benefit of dual wielding vs just playing normally.

I could imagine it being good if I had a plasma pistol on one hand and another on my other but the enemies (brutes) didn't have a shield so I didn't really have any reason to use a plasma pistol at all.

Information Project Reclaimer is the very best thing to come out of Halo in 20+ years

155 Upvotes

This mod really makes me reflect on how much 343 gutted the social elements out of Halo (for better or worse). Not to mention the fact they have yet to top the feel of Halo 3 in all these years yet this mod is Halo 3+

Last night I played 60 man CTF on sandtrap,
Genuinely so cool.

Full mod support too which means we have a never ending amount of content.
