There was a Stargate show about this I'm pretty sure
SG1 and Trek both have the "there's an episode about this" trope because they both lasted long enough to explore most sci fi ideas
Say what you will, but you have to admit the new intro slaps. At least they used the classic music.
>slaps
It's generic, but serviceable.
Its the same visual intro but with butchered Halo music. Like i can hear where the track is cut and sticked together so it fits the intro lenght
This guy is so fricking ugly and unaesthetic. Bad facial symmetry too.Looks like they pulled some random turk/serb to play Master Chief.
Guess not as ugly as these homies.
What's this about, do spartans now have an autism pellet to keep them focused?
Yeah. Instead of being robotic and unfeeling as a coping mechanism for having been forced to do terrible things their whole lives they instead have an emotional suppression chip in their heads.
Yes, it is very stupid.
>What's this about, do spartans now have an autism pellet to keep them focused?
>they instead have an emotional suppression chip in their heads.
I haven't watched season 1 since it came out but if I recall correctly, in the show the spartans have a pellet above their buttcrack which suppressed their emotions. Master Chief used a knife to dig the pellet out in the second or third episode, then one of the other female spartans (Kai?) followed his example.
>those abs with those pecs, back and minor love handles
Fricking how?
implants
>FRICKIN DO IT
fricks sake, the Black person skipped any and all back exercises from his posterior deltoids all the way to his ass. dude is flat as a board
Do modern writers think that soldiers can't handle committing war crimes without some outside influence forcing them to do it? This reminds me of how they changed Order 66 in Star Wars to be a chip in all clones' brains that brainwashed them to betray the Jedi when activated, instead of those soldiers just coldly following their orders to kill the Jedi traitors without question.
A smart show could've explored it from the angle that they're all basically child soldiers indoctrinated from a young age to do questionable shit, but this isn't a smart show.
Anon, the Order 66 thing was always about how they're manufactured beings. I always imagined it was simply embedded brainwashing from their training on Kamino with a trigger word but the little chip thingy is ok too.
I think he's referring to a retcon they did on one of the Disney shows
Yes I know. It's not a retcon, even before the show the fact that they turned on the Jedi was obviously some sort of brainwashing or something that was done to them secretly in the clone factories.
The show just reveals that it's a hard to detect brainchip thingy that's made of organic material and inside all their heads. Hypnosis, brainwashing, brainchips... IT's all the same
It's not a retcon and he was smoothbrained for taking Order 66 just as cold rule following soldierman shit.
Also it's not from a Disney show. Clone Wars is the last good Star Wars thing and this plot wasn't from the new Disney season.
it was when george was making crystal skull, red tails and preparing to sell the company. AKA when it was already SHIT.
they had just cancelled the staff of kings game and rogue squadron HD trilogy in favour of force unleashed and fricking star wars kinect.
season 3 of the clone wars is a complete rewrite of all the media that released while the movies were coming out (the good shit) and replaced it with a ugly, boring kids show centred around an annoying characters pet who now has more combined screentime than any of the rest of the original characters. it wasn't the last good thing, that would go to the DH dark times comic series, maybe darth vader and the last command.
Forces of Corruption marks the surgical line of when star wars went to shit, aside from the aforementioned comic series that still had yet to be cancelled.
>doesn't appreciate TCW
lol what a moron. I can tell you're ignorant of it too because you're spewing old complaints about Ahsoka as if this is right after that shitty Clone Wars movie.
what does amy have to do with your argument
It's a picture of two people talking to one another frickstick. I have a few because I like to post pics with replies.
autism
Eh, at least I understand why they did the brain chips in Star Wars. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too with humanizing the clones in the Clone Wars series but still having them follow through on Order 66. And in a vacuum it's a decent tragedy. Throughout the whole series, the clones are trying to rationalize what makes them different from the droids. They say to each other that they're men who can think and adapt, not just programmed killing machines. And the Jedi are the one group that reinforce that. They're the ones telling the clones that they're real people whose lives matter and they'll even risk their own lives to save clone lives.
And then in the end the clones are robbed of what little agency they had, compelled to gun down the only other people who thought they weren't just programmed killing machines. And then they're cast aside after the war, just like the droids. They were never any different.
All that's not to say it's better than the old stone cold soldiers following orders version. Battlefront 2 did a great job selling that version. I'm just saying that the brain chips aren't totally dumb when looking at the grand arc of things, even if it sounds as dumb as midichlorians on its own.
Meanwhile that they're trying to do in this dumbass Halo series is different and lacks the dramatic irony or purpose to even begin to justify it.
>Do modern writers think
No, they don't think at all.
Unironically yes
no they fixed all of the issues from the gearbox port a few years ago
Yes it's one of the major plot points of the show and boy what a fricking mistake that was
Now i'm feeling inspired. I wanna learn video editing so that I can take all the footage from this series that has the soldiers masked up, hire voice actors, write a new script, re-cut and re-dub the whole thing into a machinima that's the Halo series we really wanted
?si=FPap5sA5vtNHumdZ
Already been done bro. Sort of. The show as a whole is an unfixable mess since you'd have to work around Pablo showing his face all the time which is about 90% of his screentime.
That footage is just bad.
$10 million dollars an episode. Where the frick did the budget go?
How the frick do the FPS segments as bad as the Doom movie segment from nearly 20 fricking years ago?
this looks like that one comic with the soldiers in some kind of apocalyptic setting
the writing is like that too
Gone with the blastwave, it’s good shit
Every show on tv has one good opening episode, and then, every episode after it is talking to women about feelings.
Not Invincible.
yeah, that one was talking about feelings right from the get go
dude the first two episodes of invincible have a two parter about this dad who's happy to be a cuck and how he's proud of his adopted child. the frick are you talking about? shit's pozzed as all frick
>Warrior who chose to fight
Every Spartan chooses to fight. I fricking hate how Nu-Halo has focused in on this mentality that the Spartans are le broken uwu walking sobstories who only fight because they have no other choice. Spartans fight because of how they were raised and conditioned from an early age, they fight because they (for the most part) genuinely believe it's the right thing to do. There is a war for the survival of humanity itself at stake, choosing to fight in the face of annihilation isn't exactly a hard call.
>She has a family
Chief has a fricking family, the other Spartans are fricking brothers and sisters to each other. Halsey is like a mother, Mendez like a father, Master Chief knows the fricking definition of family and this show is making up drama for the sake of drama
The entire situation reeks of 'here's our OC that your favorite character wishes he could be like'
Again, Master Chief has a family, it's the other Spartans. This holier-than-thou rhetoric form the episode about exploring 'humanity' really misses the nuances of how human Chief and the Spartans really are.
What are these colonists doing, they just want to stay and get glassed? Throw their lives away for nothing? How it's met with anything other than ridicule is beyond me.
>soldiers are LE BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!
poor little brainwashed moron...
spartans/military aren't a family. they just pretend to be friendly because they're literally forced to see each other every day.
>raised alongside the same 70 children since he was 5
>fought with them, against them, trained with them, knows all of their names/skills/personalities
>experienced loss with them, underwent the same treatments and kept in touch even with those spartans who failed the bio-augments
Frick off the Spartans are absolutely family. What you say may hold true for run of the mill soldiers but Spartans are always, always each other's brothers/sisters
My God. Don't you physically cringe from posting shit like this?
Not really, the post actually makes sense when talking about Spartans. Its cringe if it was about any other branch of the military.
It's cringe when referring to anyone that isn't actually a blood related relative.
Let me guess, you also think Master Chief is an inspiration and he's like the brother you never had?
>It's cringe when referring to anyone that isn't actually a blood related relative.
No, thats like saying you couldnt call any adopted siblings brother or sister. And thats pretty much what all Spartans are.
Adopted people can't be brothers or sisters. Not true ones at least. If it doesn't come from the same blood the it's just a really good friend at best
My blood relatives are homosexuals and liberals. My true family are the racist pepe posters in my private Dicksword server.
Are you autistic?
>you also think Master Chief is an inspiration and he's like the brother you never had?
Yes
I'm deeply sorry you have no one in your life so close that you consider them family even if they're not blood-related to you, homosexual, but Spartans see each other this way.
>I'm deeply sorry you have no one in your life so close that you consider them family even if they're not blood-related to you
He says, on Ganker.
Chief's armor looks like absolute shit here
>To leave our planet (land) in its time of torment is no different than abandoning a dying child or parent
Lmao accidental anti-rapefugee message there
>Have you family, Spartan?
"For all intents and purposes, you are my family. And I will do what is best for you. Even if you don't understand. Just like a parent does for a child."
>Have you faith?
"I have doctrine."
>hours before you're about to be genocided by a bunch of religious fanatic aliens who believe humanity is the literal devil and needs to be exterminated

I just can't take it.
surely he was tracking them with his motion tracker and just said a deadpan joke
Most charitable possible interpretation of the events, but I will concede that it at least possible.
why are you such an apologist for this show-wreck?
if the writers didnt bother to explicitly state or show what you said, they most likely overlooked it because they are moronic and arent even botherig to consult references or lack imagination
the people that liked halo didnt like it because MC had a personality and feelings underneath his helmet and suit it was because of the humangs caught up in a galaxy spanning war for survival
contemporary writers need to get their heads out of their asses
343 drones and paid shills.
i don't think even 343gays like this shit show
They don't, the only people who like the show are complete secondaries.
shills like what they get paid to like and don't think for a second that we aren't surrounded by shills. less than named forums, but they're still here.

>asks John about his kill/death radio
What? How does that make sense? Is resurrection a thing in Halo?
Are you an autist? The joke is tremendously unfunny and shitty but it's just a simple quip joke that plays into it being a video game franchise. The "humor" comes from him obviously not being dead so naturally it's a joke question. Without context that's pretty much all one can glean from it.
John Spartan is a Christian. He has faith
Uh his name is JOHN HALO and you better remember it
If John was an Orthodox Gigachad that would indeed be extremely based.
>SURVIVE
Thats not how glassing works wtf.
shame that hollywood has no respect for the medium so we kept getting hacks who can't get real work developing their own ideas, resulting in them shoehorning their hack nonsense into what is supposed to be an adaptation of a thing.
great job doom saying the savior of your race
Anyone got a clip of the Covenant lady's surprisingly nice ass
>visually cool
>camera lens is smeared with actual diarrhea
Still an improvement
thats the saddest fricking thing i've read in years
frankly the only scene i liked in the 2 episodes
not that banter but immediately after when john sparta tells Cobalt leader to take the mission seriously
He is worried and knows something doesnt add up but can't do much about it (yet perhaps) but he is compelled to help somehow
That one felt real for a moment like an older brother telling his sibling to be careful
whatever thanks for reading my blog
every time i see this black guy on screen I imagine he's about to unironically exclaim "SHIEET" and start shuckin and jivin comically about the current predicament

every time i see one of these disrespectful homosexual "prestige" tv shows i remember that rome got cancelled because it cost one million dollars per episode and i wish for lots and lots of well-connected hollywood people to die
What? I thought you were all trying to be funny when you called him John.
Is he really named John Halo?
it's an evolution of the "i think halo is a pretty kewl guy eh kills aielns" meme plus it sounds cool
His actual name is just John.
Jimmy Rings
Well actually its Captain King, thats from the books
Yeah its meant to be a John 117 bible reference.
And people still say Master Chief ain't the chosen one.

Season 1 was a fricking writing disaster.
Half the screen time spend with some chick that fricking has 0 impact on the plot, moronic last minute romance that means nothing, chief dies and now is a literal zombie ghost, dosnt introduce the world, never shows any war etc.
No idea how this got season 2 greenlit, its like they want to destroy the brand for ever and make sure nobody can make a with John Halo again.
Also now its revealed that Chied is actually Cortana in a Human body i have no fricking clue how there is anywhere to go from here, it had to be one of the dumbest twist in history.
They have to retcon or ignore it, fricking no way they gonna run with that.
i'm just going to assume none of this post is real
Its real, and as moronic as it sounds.
Chief becomes a space wizard with magical powers and then dies in last episode and Cortana becomes the new Chief.
Its like they did it as some form of FRICK YOU to the viewers since they didnt expect season 2, and then someone green lit it.
They will have to retcon it, they will say that Chief used up all his space magic to come back from the dead, and hes not a wizard anymore or some shit.
season 2 was already greenlit before season 1 came out
Makes sense, i checked the credits for season 2 and its the same moronic fricks behind season 1, there was no change so i guess we can expect this shit the bed even more, for ever staining the possibility for a good halo movie or show
It's Hollywood. People who kiss ass are designated to fail upwards. People who don's kiss ass are slandered and blacklisted. The industry is too big to collapse now so it's just a cesspool that's immune to outside criticism.
And yes I do mean literally kiss ass.
i remember season 2 got greenlit months before season 1 came out. no idea how that happened
they had so much faith in it being a big deal,
i doubt it'll get a season 3
>Also now its revealed that Chied is actually Cortana in a Human body
This is a joke, right?
Nope, though its ending of last episode, so it goes nowhere.
Maybe for the better, since chief being a space wizard is every more moronic. At lest hes shooting a gun and not throwing spells with his wand in the last fight.
that late 90's cgi
>someone wrote this, filmed this, did the CGI, rewatched it thrice and still thought he should show it to other people
What the flying frick? Are people involved in making shows/movies not self aware at all?
They signed a deal for two seasons from the start.
This whole "Halo got a second season, please come back it's better now" is all marketing.
It was contracted for two seasons.
The reason it's so bad is because the writers and directors didn't make a Halo show, they took a highly generic Sci Fi script that's probably been in a folder for the past ten years and tossed a Halo-colored coat of paint on it so they could justify moving money around, banking on the idea that the show would get attention off name alone.
And even 343 has completely cut ties with it, even back in Season 1. They specifically said the show was a 'silver timeline' or some shit because they couldn't outright call it what it is, or else Paramount would have them flayed.
This show is literally the embodiment of Hollywood frickery. It's disgusting.
All of my favorite series have been raped so thoroughly in my life I don't even mentally remember this show exists until one of you makes a thread about it. I'm not even angry. I understand there are people that look at Star Wars or Halo, or maybe some anime adaptation that you guys like, and they look at it, and they look at you, and they instinctively have to rape it. And they want you to know they're raping it, and they're raping it hard. And they're smiling as they rape it. When they say things like they're making an adaptation for a "wider audience" that's nothing more than a dog whistle for "I'm gonna rape you and your whole family".
There's nothing cool about rape. It's not funny and shouldn't be joked about, but these writers and producers... they just salivate at thought of raping something people love. It's not right... It's not right.
You can just say israelites you know
Just wait for the new Back to the Future remake starring Ellen Page as Marty Mcfly
Couldn't care less abour Nu-Halo shite.
Post female Spartans.
Sangheili women are EXCLUSIVELY for my WHITE PENIS.

Dall-e will make you better, prettier, more coherent Jane Halo's than anything this slops out. Not praising the AI, the standards are just that low.
I hate MS's AI too. It filters guns but also always generates Spartans with unprompted guns on its own and then b***hes at me because of the guns it's putting in on its own. I'M NOT ASKING FOR GUNS YOU moronS. Just let me have QTs in power armor.
Can it generate anything than Slop, Japan?
Maybe something close to Oni's art style?
>Ackerson
Can't wait for all the paid news articles like "why the world needs halo season 2 more than ever" "halo is a dire message about the state of Israel and Ukraine right now" "how season 2 of halo continues sticking it to toxic Male gamer chuds" and "top critics agree halo season two is an unstoppable masterpiece".
For those of you who grew up with Halo, what emotions are you boys going through?
I have fanboy friends and want to better empathize with their pain.
pain
It's like 1d4 psychic damage every time I learn something new about the show.
Series augered into the ground after 4 which already wasn't great continues to be skullfricked. You can just ignore the new esg dei or whatever trash untalented people keep shoveling you know.
I feel like I'm watching an autistic child with a crayon scribble all over an album of my old happy memories, but at least others dislike it too.
pain, apathy, weary resignation, etc. They already literally assraped my other favorite videogame character, but this one stings pretty bad too
cucktana
The fanbase just repeats: "Regret. Regret. Regret."
>they made Cortana fugly
>they made Chief frick a covenant plant that looks like a dyke
The Halo franchise needs to die already, I can't stand seeing it's lifeless corpse keep getting shat on and defiled in every way imaginable.
343 needs to die NOW.
I can forgive how Cortana looks because its her actual actress depicting her.
i'm just not really surprised anymore when things i used to love are destroyed.
I don't care anymore. I gave up on this series. I'm an adult now, the only rational decision is to walk away and remember the good times.
>Just give 343/Microsoft more time
You're literally going third party... That's how badly everyone involved failed. Take all the time you need 343. I'm sure you'll crack that nut in a few more decades. Losers.
>I'm an adult now, the only rational decision is to walk away and remember the good times.
You're gonna carry that weight.
Always have.
For someone that doesn't care anymore you still sound pretty angry.
Dude they've had over decade. They get at least one frick you. I don't even care if they go third party, I play on everything and I hate exclusivity in general, but they failed miserably in every conceivable way.
I'm glad most of them still have jobs if you'd rather I end on a positive note. I'm just not a fan of their work and I'm getting off this bus ride.
>I'm glad most of them still have jobs
why do you care? do you pretend to? it's such a silly point people bring up
I'm trying to say I think their work sucks and they no longer have my business, but good luck to them all the same. Microsoft could move 343 to the fingerpaint or macaroni pictures department for all I care.
>I'm glad most of them still have jobs
kek what a homosexual.
this fire and blacklist everyone involved wity whatever nu-halo is, frick them all i hope seatle gets flooded soon.
At this point apathy, before that rage, and before that anger, and before that disappointment. It has been nothing short of horrifying having my favorite series raped and paraded around.
Season 1 was entertaining enough and 2 so far has been way better so i'm alright
>Season 1 was entertaining enough
the frick
>Season 1 was entertaining enough
>Season 1 was entertaining enough
Like a dull, suppressed pain at this point.
It still hurts but you've had to deal with it for so long that you've gotten used to it.
I knew when Bungie ended their thing with Halo with Halo 3 and Reach that this was the end of the franchise and everything afterwards was just going to be garbage. So I've never really cared that much. I was disappointed with Halo 4 and then never touched another halo game or paid attention to anything halo after that.
I don't consider anything at all past the last bungie games to be canon, including the new books.
What was actually painful for me wasn't seeing Halo get raped by the jackals at microsoft et al, it was seeing Bungie turn into the exact same type of garbage studio as all the rest of them, full of all the same midwits who hate videogames running the videogame company and putting their political ideologies at the forefront of mismanaging the company and 'creating' videogames over the competence of guys like marty or jones who just like videogames and storytelling.
I ignore the show except to come to threads here. It's like I don't want to watch the car wreck but I'll listen to someone tell me about it.
Halo has been dead to me since Halo 5. I actually enjoyed 4 and the direction things were going but now every piece of Halo content is awful and 343 has done such a poor job handling the franchise it'll be studied 100 years from now on what not to do when taking over an IP. Same with Star Wars. I'm just continually astonished how they can keep making things worse.
After the MCC stopped getting updates, I haven't paid any attention to the franchise. Just make my fricking Band of Brothers x ODST series and be done with it.
>tfw a low budget live action trailer from 2008 genuinely look better than a multi million dollar show produced by paramount
What the frick happened?
small, skilled teams with a focused vision are the peak and every single unnecessary person and dollar on top is liquid shit injected into the bloodstream
The entertainment industry was taken over by talentless millennial morons.
They are portraying an active battlefield in the commercial whereas the show is about showing off the brand "Look it's Mr Halo!" "Look it's the gun that you use in Halo!" "Look it's the spooky monsters that roar at you with laser katanas from Halo!".
Halo ads are aleways gritty and serious yet the games are always corny humour fest, why?
>muh reach
This is a halo 3 odst ad, and said game was not that gritty.
The ads follow normal people. The games don't.
>normal people
>ODST
>Halo 3 ODST starring ODST
despite being a bleak setting bungie didn't want to kill the mood by being depressing. this isn't 40k.
Halo Reach
Tone shift is what makes bungie halo so kino.
after years of people sucking off ODST as the grounded gritty halo game with muh feels music i finally gave it a shot. i could not get past an hour because of the corny reddit marvel quips and over the top dialogue. easily the worst game in the series
I feel that. ODST has a great soundtrack and that's about it.
The best part about ODST is this trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWSLHcAyy90
Everything else sucks, I wanted to play as a marine in a frickhuge war not sneak around backstreets.
So fricking kino
The mission where you have to defend the research lab against the waves of covenant and get to activate turrets was really cool though.
Wait I just looked up that mission and it was actually from Halo:Reach not ODST. I guess ODST really was unmemorable
The guys at the end of the ODST trailer look legitimately shell shocked.
>no women's bullshit
>no muh feelings
>no muh family
>no muh faith
>only men doing what they must
I want kino to be back so bad bros...
I think because people perceive media through the lens of their sensibilities and focus on the stuff that they like about it while filtering out the things they aren't interested in. I remember these ads and to me they were like "this is what Halo would be like if it was 'real'". The games have a militaristic undertone (plus the setting is bleak - humans fighting a losing war against aliens with superior tech etc.) so if you are into this kind of stuff you will see this as the defining quality of halo and imagine it being kinda like a sf "war movie" while writing off the more goofy stuff as just some minor comic relief.
at first it was painful but after a while you feel numb to it. Though the pain resurges a bit every time something new comes out it doesn't last anymore.
Life gets better when you accept that halo died in 2010.
343 killed halo
I grieved for Halo long ago. Now I feel nothing for it. The new stuff that comes out isn't actually "Halo" to me. It's some other spinoff that I don't care about. Halo ended with Reach to me, and even Reach had problems that make me consider it a spinoff of what real Halo should be.
Armor abilities and sprinting basically ruined Halo, in my opinion, as they made the series more about how you customized your soldier and less about learning maps and technique. In Halo 3 and earlier, every match starts every player on a level playing field. You won by being better, and that's it.
I also think the stories started to suck with Reach. There's this weird obsession with making the Spartans feel more "human". They can't simply be better than other humans. No, instead they have to have some kind of madness, or trauma, or funny relatable quirk. I think it's simply a reflection of how Halo is treated as a whole. Those with custody of the series cannot fathom making something as good as the Bungie games, so they try to drag Halo down instead and call it "subversive" or "deconstructionist". Halo is dead.
Sad, i hope everyone at 343 suffers a slow painful death.
>instead they have to have some kind of madness, or trauma, or funny relatable quirk
This was in Reach?
Yes. The entire Noble team is made out of special snowflakes. They all have completely different armor models with unique color schemes. They're all given extremely distinct personalities and skills. They could just as easily given them all the same armor with very little to mark them apart from each other, but did not. This is because they wanted to make the Noble team feel like a team of superheroes instead of an actual squad of soldiers in an army.
I don't know man. Carter, Jun, Kat and Noble 6 all barely have any personality.
Carter gets to be the cool specialized leader guy, despite the fact that the spartans on Noble team should have basically all had the same rank and been getting bossed around by an actual commissioned CO (even Master Chief is just considered an honorary enlistee and is constantly getting bossed around until everyone that can give him orders is dead or MIA). Kat gets played up as a 1337 hax0r and has a robot arm. Jun has his whole camo/netting aesthetic and is portrayed as being le brooding silent sniper. Noble 6 is a silent player character; doesn't count. If anything Noble 6 is closer to what the whole team should've been like.
It's almost as if the UNSC would benefit from having a diverse team of different skillets rather than 6 clones who all do the same thing
Whatever, gay, you clearly don't get it either. Master Chief was a badass because he was a spartan, and he was otherwise just a random soldier. That was always what made him cool. People had always imagined Reach, from the book description, as having just a bunch of big guys just like John in the same armor all working together as a unit. It didn't need to be a squad of Power Rangers. Noble team could have just been a regular unit of spartans and people still would've liked them. You could have learned about their personality differences throughout the game without having them all be hyper-specialized and color-coded.
This is a fair point but I had internally justified it as them being mostly comprised of Spartan III's rather than II's.
The only II on the squad was Jorge and he was pretty much the straightest laced individual on the team outside of being 'the big guy' but being a seven-foot Spartan II among a bunch of manlet 3's will naturally put him in that position. III's were just brought up different from II's, III's are war-orphans put on a fast-track, streamlined Spartan program bred mainly for suicide missions that'd kill 99-100% of their company. Any that survive like the ones on Noble Team would probably develop more specialized personalities being that they didn't have the all encompassing training II's had, and surviving such a high death ratio might give them an ego.
You could make the argument that justifying the personalities doesn't make them good and they should have all been II's without the quirks but I did think that was a decent explanation for why Noble Team isn't your usual Spartan squad.

HIRO COME THE FRICK IN HERE RIGHT NOW AND BAN THIS FRICKING SUBHUMAN TRASH, FRICK OFF
Holy shit this moron is having an absolute meltdown over a stupid video game from 20 years ago and muh epic secret club, go outside and touch grass you stupid motherfricker
There's plenty of acceptable lore reasons given for why Noble team is the way it is, and why the spartan 3s are such a ragtag bunch of emotional manlets. I just personally would've preferred Noble team to have been more reminiscent of the Master Chief. I don't think the spartan 3s needed to be as divergent from him as they are.
I agree. I did like Reach, but I still think it was the beginning of what killed Halo and has kept the newer games from being as good.
and yet the dialogue in reach is leagues better than any game or spinoff set in the universe
This
I consumed everything Halo, like the books, but after Reach I dropped off.
Since then, I just read the occasional thread anons made to complain about 343's continuation.
343 thread when?
Anything made by bungie It's infinitely better than anything made by 343 troons.
I try not to care, but it still hurts to see on my (formally) favorite franchises gettings raped on all fronts.
Pic somewhat related.
I've been completely disillusioned with halo since Reach
Reach is kino.
I pretend it doesn't exist anymore. I played Halo 4 when it came out and I knew it was going to shit so fast it wouldn't really recover. I imagine this show was made for the same people who somehow liked whatever the frick 4's story was.
horrible, absolutely horrible, I can only cope by not believing anything 343 industries has made is canon. halo ended when bungie finished halo: reach
what's worse is that I have a friend who we used to play halo all the fricking time, but today I despise halo for what it has become but my friend still plays halo infinite even today ever since it launched, I even saw like a post on instagram saying that anyone who doesn't like Halo now is not a true fan.
I don't know how I feel about that, maybe he's the bigger halo fan than me...
Halo Infinite forge has led to some pretty crazy custom games. I just wish I had friends to play with
I'm 30 and grew up with halo and I don't really care about how shitty the show is. Even the games haven't been good in over a decade
Halo has always had garbage expanded universe media. This show will die within another season or two and be forgotten just like Halo Forward Unto Dawn and Halo Legends. I am more frustrated that Neil Blomcamp and whoever directed those ODST commercials clearly understood the tone needed for a Halo movie and Microsoft didn't capitalize on it at the time. They even had Spielberg attached as a producer at one point and Microsoft just wouldn't fork over the cash needed to make it happen.
I stopped caring about Halo around Halo 5 and I've accepted that it'll never be good again.
That ODST trailer is still kino as frick till this day and hasn't been topped as far as Halo live action goes.
Funny how it had frick all to do with the actual game.
Halo 3 ads were barely related either yet people still remember them
Because the passion involved in making a real diorama with over 100 detailed figures that takes up a fricking room by itself is appreciated.
If people put effort into something, it always shines through.
Frick, now I want to play Halo again
KINOOOO
>make fake documentary about model for ad campaign, using real footage from documentary about model
Brilliant idea really
Why the frick does a marketing campaign for a video game about a fictional war make me feel sad? These actors really sold the frick out of this.
>These actors really sold the frick out of this.
Agreed. It really baffles me how they could get good actors for trailers 17 years ago but right now with a budget of $10 million per episode they can only get grifters that can't act to save their lives.
Funny part is that they're still diverse; there's an Indian guy and a Polish guy, but nobody gives a frick because they're good.
you know that doesn't count in 'their' world
To be fair, being diverse in modern american speak means you need to be brown, talk funny and act like a walking stereotype.
I watched one episode with a friend that wanted to watch and quit after. The first episode was mostly but not completely awful but the ending made me swear off the show entirely. Everything else I have learned about it has caused me psychic damage, been against my will, and only further justified me in my decision to drop it. If your fanboy friends keep watching it voluntarily they must enjoy being tortured.
I'm trying not to think about it.
>Z'gok

I was 13 when halo 2 released, it's all everyone talked would about in the 8th and 9th grade
Numbing pain at first. But I grew up and moved on from the franchise. Halo Infinite was my last straw with the franchise after that half-assed rushed ending of a campaign and completely broken multiplayer at launch.
>But Halo Infinite got better over the Seaso...
No... No thanks.
after seeing all the other vidya adaptations my expectations were incredibly low. never expected it to be good. wasn't surprised it was bad
I stopped giving a shit after reach.
Anyone still invested in this series after 343 gets what they deserve.
Indifference, but also slight masochistic pleasure.
It's funny because the show writers know *just enough* about Halo to hit some basic beats but twist them in just the right ways to make fans seeth and cringe. I'm just watching it for the lols.
>masochistic pleasure
This anon has ascended to invulnerable depravity.
I feel nothing, this IP has been dead as hell since 343 got their grubby mitts on it and anyone saying otherwise is a moron, this series has been dead for longer than it was alive.
Seeing the rise and subsequent fall from grace has been interesting. Part of me wonders if Snoy would consider doing it for their respective Halo killers like Resistance and Killzone. Get contracted to pump out 2 seasons of shit using repurposed and failed scripts while banking on nosalgia for easy marketing.
Those franchises are basically dead, so it's unlikely, but TLOU got a series pretty recently.
gaylo was never cool
it was only popular because of the auto aim
>our flagship franchise has been mishandled and is struggling, what do we do to get people back?
>I know just the thing!
to be fair it seems like the last signs of life by xbox, theis gen was failure for them and they managed to kill all the big franchises, halo, gears of war and fable
also bethesda acquisition was complete disaster, every Bethesda game failed so fricking hard their games like redfall make worst games of decade lists and both Deathloop and Ghostwire flopped hard
its ogre for them
>aster chief has a dream dinner in some random person's body
This is not what the screenshot describes. Dream dinner? Someone else's body? Is this an ESL thing? What are we doing here?
the article in OP's pic is doing everything it can to leave out the extra stupid elements of the scene
So is it a dream or is it not? Is he inhabiting someone else's body?
Why are people watching this shit? You know what the first season was like.
No one is watching it. Its tax fraud.
how does master chief poop? I know they explained the peeing thing, but not the poop
So why did she lie?
do people even care about halo anymore?
the only thing i hear from that corner is apathy or negativity
>do people even care about halo anymore?
people will probably start to care again when it becomes multi-platform
halo is already on pc, which is a huge portion of the gamer base. i don't think halo is getting on playstation like many think, and i don't think even if they got it there it would have a big audience
Not even snoys want the current call of halo
Could they port Halo to the Switch 2? Would that save Halo?
i still play the original games with the master chief collection, and sometimes infinite since the game is pretty good now but it's too late. Xbox and halo are dead
>sometimes infinite since the game is pretty good
yes. the forge custom games and the btb mode with classic maps are great
>shitfinite
>good
Fricking kys absolute homosexual
Isn't the general gameplay good?
We tried, but at some point we realized that we needed to let go and stop dreaming about what could've been.
the people that still care about it goes down every time new halo things are released
Only 343gays care about nu halo.
The real fans knew even before that absolute abomination halo 4 is was released that halo ended with mc dying floating in space.
of course people care, people are still mourning halos death to this day.

Imagine consuming any Halo stuff past Reach
Honestly I feel like I'd be fine with the Halo TV show if it didn't focus on Chief and some random ass OC Spartan and A.I
If they had used OC characters I would be much less angry.
all they had to do was retell the games but from sgt. johnson's perspective
foehammer is your token female. done.
Genius idea. Season one is Cpntact Harvest. Close of s1 is time jump cliffhanger teasing the fall of reach. Show ends at S2 with Autumn making her fateful jump.
The problem with the show fundamentally is that it should've followed some OCs instead of known main characters.
They followed 343's mistake by treating Chief as anything more than a self-insert with the most minor dash of personality.
It's 343 you know they would try to shit on halo's legacy.
MY NAME IS ATRIOX

Cringiest fricking character in the entire history of the franchise brutes should never be important characters nor should the grunts for these are stupid silly aliens made for you to kill and laugh 343 sucks at respecting the sacred canons of the franchise
343 gives us brute slop but completely deletes the elites from being involved in the story
Models too hard, prease unduhstan
Frick 343 they hate halo and the fans yet they act surprised when the hate is mutual
Fire them all blacklist them from working on any other game ever again i hope they starve on the streets.
Fricking libleft Black folk cucks and femoids.

why does he just fricking stand there like a moron?????????
Atriox has the ability to freeze the world around him.
So they're just giving away nonsensical super powers now? Fricking moronic.
343 slop is not canon
That anon's fricking with you. That webm is just from a cinematic about him, and he's not in the show.
Amazing, nothing you said was true.
what? how?
sufficiently shitty writing is indistinguishable from magic
343 shit writing and zero respect for the lore, look at this crap this made no sense no brute can beat a spartan let alon 3, they did not even try to headshot him.

also doesn't this dude sound just like gravemind?
No but he does
He is allied with an ancient alien race called the Endless who have control over "Living Time" whatever that means.
id frick the endless woman from the infinite campaign she's hot
Lmao it keeps getting worse, microsoft should get rid of those gays asap.
This, they dumped arbiter to give such moronic Black person species to fight no one fricking cares about.
i met atriox on zeta halo and he ate my ass
Halo's story has literally never been interesting.
T. has never played the original trilogy
kys
played them all except infinite
decent gunplay in 1 and 2, extremely overrated franchise as a whole
the story is utterly uninteresting
people forget this is baby's first fps
I liked the story but I also grew up with it and it was my first exposure to that type of (admittedly generic) near future human space military aesthetic
I disagree.
>humanity vs genocidal aliens
>galaxy ending superweapons
>huge stakes
You know what isn't interesting? Mopey soldiers who struggle with their feelings
nobody's defending the tv show
pretending Halo has an interesting story is otherwise also stupid
it has minor aesthetic flourishes that carry it
its own distincitive, but still generic, "near future" scifi
500+ years into the future isn't near future
any setting where the combat is about grunts lugging 7.62 NATO and hand grenades is "near future"
This, i don't know how 343shitters could ruin such unique and interesting kino premise with their slop onion sentimental crap storylines for redditor manchildren.
im not against a chief that's a bit talkative honestly, but they just completely butchered the execution
They turned halo into a soap opera and the chief into a weak simp cuck gay.
im talking about the games not the show. but you are correct
not overrated, pinnacle of fun multiplayer shooting games. turbo shit story though
You now remember Halo Wars 2 cliffhanger ending
no, i don't. i didn't play it
quick rundown?
Wars 2 ends with the Spirit of Fire crew continue it's battle against Atriox and the Banished on the Ark where Anders who was on a newly created Halo Ring is thrust into slip-space along with the ring to only be found by a Cortana controlled Forerunner Guardian.
As of the DLC, the Banished accidentally unleash the Flood onto the Ark and manage to recontain them while continuing their war against the UNSC for control of the ark. The Professor Anders sequel bait was never picked up on in any of it's DLC and Halo Infinite did what Halo Infinite did and skipped entirely over the Cortana Forerunner stuff
343 stop abandoning entire storylines challenge (impossible)
watch them do this shit again with the endless bullshit from the infinite campaign
Shit plotlines shit studio absolute abomination games.
Man you really don't like 343 huh
As anyone who knows and respects the franchise do, frick them all.
Is there any reason at all to have any other option of them other than ravenous hatred?
All the hate that those fricking pieces of shit profiting from a legendary game franchise get is not enough, they killed halo and they will get away with it.
>The spirit of fire appears without explanation in a ring, Serina is killed off-camera, They send the red team to explore a literal who space Black person brute with plotarmor defeats them in a cgi cinematic with terrible direction, blablabla, red covenant that was never mentioned, that ape is better than the arbiter and without any logic more powerful than the covenant shenanigans after shenanigans the ship of the red covenant without all the kino geta destroyed, all the characters have another voice and worse designs Cutter is young Anders is a hapa hag, they retconned the classic art style, the music sounds like a starwars copycat, the gameplay is terrible, they sold the ending as disgusting and poorly made DLC contradicting everything we did in halo 3.

we should praise every day the individual at 343 who decided to make the halo show non-canon to the games. thanks to them, i can ignore the show's existence and continue to enjoy the games. same won't be said for the fallout show unfortunately.
it will just work anon. trust the plan
>Praise the absolute homosexuals that made this shitshow a reality to begin with
if the halo show was canon things would be infinitely worse, we'd not stop hearing about it. the reason the show got forgotten is because it being non-canon allows you to forget it in the first place.
Wrong board
Have they actually gotten to Halo yet in the show?
Now you're feeling my pain, like what Netflix did to Resident Evil. I'll never forgive them or Capcom for that, ever.
My thoughts too. Looks decent visually, especially compared to webms of the first season
Not even the flood can stop him...
He wasn't even looking, it was pure instinct. Holy SHIT.
not even a direct hit from a UNSC ship's main gun could kill him. what the frick was 343 thinking?

>Haha how many people have you killed
>This is funny to these people
I just spend 4 hours watching these 2 episodes, i kept being distracted because it's so boring. It's honestly baffling to me how you make a show about the final stand of humanity while they are being conquered/killed by space aliens and focus on one super soldier doing his best to make his species survive and make it SO GODDAMN BORING.
I couldn't even make it through 2 webm's before I was bored out of my mind. How the frick are people making it through an episode?
I don't know what I despise more about this show, be it the constant holier than thou rhetoric, what they did to my boy Master Chief, what they did to Cortana or how they fricked up the whole lore.
can we at least go 5 fricking minutes without seeing his face PLEASE??
Post the original not this soulless cgi anniversary atrocity.
he is pretty fricking ugly and clearly hates the role
why did they even cast him?
because everyone else involved in the show are also ugly and hate the show
why should this homie get to be happy
The live action trailers for 3, ODST, and Reach looked miles better than this shit.
The TV show just has a low budget, B-movie feel about it. Every other piece of live action Halo material looks better.
the quality of the props is extremely inconsistent
I think it might be because, despite the large budget, it is spread more thinly across so many hours of TV. Whereas adverts, Landfall, Forward Unto Dawn, etc all had a smaller budget but a concise scope into which to spend it. And competent staff.
The final battle between Atriox and Yhwach takes a dark and decisive turn. As the two adversaries face each other on the destroyed battlefield of Zeta Halo, the air is saturated with the weight of desolation and defeat. Atriox, with his shattered arm at his feet, is on his knees, his gaze lost in the dust raised by his own desperate attacks. Yhwach, the Quincy King, remains imposing, the manifestation of his sovereign power encircling him like a halo of vibrant darkness. "This is the end, Atriox," Yhwach proclaims, his voice as piercing as the force that now renders him invincible, the Quincy King advances, the intent to finish the battle emanating from every step, with a single movement, he hits Atriox with a wave of energy so powerful that reality itself seems to tremble. Atriox falls, his energy dwindling like a flame in the storm, Yhwach looks down at the fallen war chief, a glimpse of respect passing through his eyes. "You fought bravely, but the new era is mine to shape," he declares. With Atriox defeated, Yhwach extends his hand, absorbing the remnants of the galaxy, unifying them under his dark dominion. The Banished, now without their war chief, retreat into the shadows of history, whispering prayers for a tomorrow they know will never come, the Quincy King reigns supreme, a new order established under the impassive gaze of the ark outside of the galaxy, the balance of existence is irreparably altered, and hope is just a forgotten word in the era of Yhwach, the true monarch of the universe.
Yhwach stands unchallenged, his dominion absolute. Across the fallen universes, his will resonates, extinguishing the last embers of resistance. The era of Yhwach ushers in silence, broken only by the hollow winds that carry the echoes of his omnipotence. His reign is now eternal, a timeless empire forged in the shadows of his power.
2010 Halo Reach haters, how do you feel that Reach wasn't actually the low point of the series and that it only got significantly worse from there?
Vindicated because Bungie's post-halo failures proved it would have gotten worse anyway. At least 343 resisted adding a non-binary moron that communicates through marvel quips.
https://vocaroo.com/12Q8g6JukLoQ
How I do cope with the fact that Halo has gone to shit since Reach?
Treat any game not developed by Bungie as non-canon. Also accept that the Bungie you once loved is also dead.
Reminder you could've had some 8 foot tall stunt double in the suit and just had Steve Downes voice Chief and fans would've loved it. Instead we get the ugly rat man.
could've been easy diversity points too by casting some lanky Black person as chiefs stunt double.
I don't get it, this board sucked Baldur Gate 3's wiener but NOW diversity and homosexualry is bad?
Make a new thread if (You) want. This is a Halo thread.
Lore ruins Western games
Is Cortana still piloting John's corpse in the armor or that plot point got dropped?
Dropped in first seconds
Did i miss something, or since when does Covenant species have names other than Elite, grunt, jackal etc? Sangheli? Is that 343 or bookgay lore invention? Never heard it in any bungie game.
It's been there since at least the Halo Fall of Reach book that came out in 2001. I feel that it was in the CE manual too but I'm not 100% sure.
Halo 2 Collector's Edition manual actually. It's written from the Covenant's perspective.

I'd love a Conker L&R PC port.
>Rare Replay PC never
hate microsoft so much it’s unreal
Covenant having real names IIRC were established in the original Nylund books, which came out more or less the same time as the first Halo. I know the were used in the Bungie games eventually but maybe not as early as 1 or 2
I dont recall any bungie games use those names

It was the first game I've played on PC, I think it's still good even today.
I was working a summer job as Boy Scout camp staff one summer and we would sit around a TV and play Halo during pretty much all of our off-hours. Good times.
Do modern Halo games even offer split-screen anymore?
Infinite was supposed to but they cut the feature at the last second. Apparently it works (you can glitch your way into it) but it ran like shit on last gen consoles.
Soulless.
>Played halo 1 the month it came out

Some of the funnest times of my childhood. My sister and I would play for 10 hours straight doing coop and beat the game in 1 sitting.

I do miss the UI of Halo 2/3.
Halo show still sucks, post alien women
A halo adaptation should be a wordless romp of creative action going on for 20 minutes in the style of a classic freddiew video. Only dialog should be yelling soldiers and cortana yapping from time to time. Lots of first person segments, seamless camera work and blood splattering. Chiefs reactions should be mainly sold through camera work and where he looks. Absolutely no boring space people talking sitting in rooms. Nonstop running and gunning

Halo The Endless for PS5 will save this franchise.
Trust the plan.
This is fricking moronic, I dread to think how much money was wasted on this.
Did anyone get the halo graphic novel when they were younger and fap to THAT page. You know which page im talking about.

Thats pretty based
You should've seen some of the ads in gamepro my man. I got in shit in 2nd grade for bringing them to school.
huh, my dick immediately went hard so I guess it has a better memory than I do
why can't we get a show with none of this fricking drivel but with cool sci-fi military action shit with some semblance of realism sprinkled on?
is hitting the same tone as a shitty 6 minutes short film did years ago really difficulty?
Wait is there actually someone named (skibidi) riz in this show?
