ShowJust wanted to explain to you why I loved 343i and why they've fallen out of my favor recently.
They saved Reach.
I'm a modern 343i hater, but they had a GREAT start off but turning Reach into Halo Combat Evolved 2. At the time I really had no problem with Armor Lock which was most people's problem. See sanity not included. Whenever I would see someone using it I'd go into game chat while I was dead and when they popped it, get into position and say to them
"I got all day -Yoink-! Nobody's comin to save your -Yoink-, I got all day!"
A friend heard me say that and it became our Halo Reach meme. 343i did good with Reach when they took over, hmm it was delicious.
The Halo Animated Series-
Oh boy didn't the canon take a swift kick to the nuts for these stories coming into the light. While very canon breaking they were entertaining and something I believe every Halo fan wanted to see.
Halo Combat Evolved 3
Halo CEA had us all worried at first with MC's helmet looking...odd, but 343i brought it back bringing old and new goodies together and Halo CEA had new skulls. While I have a few gripes with the army being the marines in the game instead of them being ODST's like they were in lore but Halo CEA was still the -Yoink-, it even came with an actually great use of the Kinetic and a load of DLC for Halo CE 2.
Forward Unto Dawn-
343i you guys are insane. you rented a -Yoinking!- country to shoot this film. DAMN! While I didn't like most of it being about The Nobody's The Covenant invasion was the hypest of -Yoink-, can't lie that made it for me.
BOOKS!
Forerunner Saga-I nearly had a heart attack when I heard about there being a book series about the Forerunners and I'm not even lying. Even thinking about it right now just sounds Mm, delicious.
Karen Tavis stuff-...Halo isn't exactly her area IMO.
Halo 4-This is where the faith hit the ground hard. After Halo CE 2 everybody was in full thrust for Halo 4. 343i did good at literally every turn, how could screw this up. There isn't much I can say that hasn't already been beaten about Halo 4 besides removal of favrite features and the return of hated. All I can say is, it had an impact on Halo 5.
Spartan Ops-
Something we've always wanted executed in the wrong way. Story was pretty good, and the introduction of what is the best Spartan IV Fireteam FIRE TEAM CRIMSON! suck on it Osiris, you ain't got nothing on Crimson. The only issues people had with Spartan Ops was is' repetition. Weird when you think about it because people were screaming for Firefight to return which is the embodiment of repetition, so...WTF!
COMICS!
Initiation-Who doesn't love a good comic, apparently 343i because the Sarah Palmer comic made me hater her more. She literally hates people that are smarter than her. k -Yoink- you Palmer.
Escalation-Was overall good until it all eventually meant NOTHING TO HALO 5!
Hunt the Truth-See the details of Escalation.
The Master Chief Collection
-__-
Basically everything wrong with 343i in a basket of -Yoink- you.
Mobile Games-Bad at first glance but fun as hell.
Halo 5-Literally the exact opposite of Halo 4. Kind of surprised they're made by the same company. Again, what can't already of been said. Well that we made Halo 5. 343i listens so we have to take as much of the blame as they do. They removed the hated features and craziness of Halo 4 and made a more competitive Halo. Without us properly conveying that we liked those crazy modes just as much but we'd rather have both not just one. 343i saw this and since again we didn't really let them know, we kind of -Yoinked!- Halo 5.
To quote that girlfriend that'll never be satisfied. "You should know what I want!" is what alot of people have said but no, the world doesn't work like that.
Halo 5 erased massive chunks of Halo 4's story making it near useless. WHAT GENESONG!?! All I saw was the Didact and his robot army. We need more of those because people just loved fighting the Prometheans. While I generally don't like 343i's silence like on my Elites and why Crimson has suddenly vanished, I admit that we -Yoinked!- up as a community to inform them of what we wanted early on. Some of us were too soaked up in the hype the others in hatred, that's our fault 343i, so you get bounce back points.
It took me a while to admit this for as much as I hate 343i for their resent -Yoink-! There is no doubt anymore in my mind that Halo 5 is THE BEST HALO GAME in terms of gameplay. Not game content, gameplay. Nothing is useless in Halo 5, everything has a role and purpose and I'm not going to lie, if you're calling a weapon OP because it killed you then it's most likely because you were just in every wrong position for it to kill you.
343i truly brought skill back into Halo and I thank them for it. Now if they could only IGNORE REQS AND FOCUS ON CONTENT! -Yoink- REQS!
Halo 6
So what has 343i learned from us. That they're stories can at times break canon but acception will only go so far (looking at you Halo 5's story) that we will riot, that we want content and solid gameplay along with story well composed. We want manageable customization with plentiful variety and in my case, I want my -Yoinking!- elites and Crimson back. Come on halo 5 should of been Fireteam Crimson vs Blue team. IT WOULD OF BEEN PERFECT :(
and we want it to feel like Halo.
Wow, that's -Yoinking!- -Yoink-. Our wants and demands for Halo 6 is literally everything thing a game can be. That's total -Yoink- to think they won't screw up somewhere in there, and I've realized this. While 343i has the biggest plate of any gaming company out there right now because they not only have to keep up a legacy BUT literally be good at every gaming feature ever conceived otherwise the game will have negative reception.
I really hate 343i right now but damn they have too much on that plate, so I can atleast understand their slow pace, can you?
Side note: Halo Wars 2 is also a thing so that's a thing. Just don't have the same terrible strategy play of Halo Wars 1 and all will be good. MP was just spam based.
Extra Side Note: To those who say Halo 4 was a gem and Halo 5 has no flaws, I've met you halfway with this post, can you for once acknowledge that the games have faults?
Please point out any errors in the post, I'm sure there are a few, I'll try to correct those that that are spotted.
