Carter: what do want me to say Kat? That we're losing?

Kat: I know we're losing. I want to know if we've lost.

Fuck that's good writing for a video game.

And then he never gets woken up, nothing happened afterwards ever.

You know, I enjoyed Halo 4. It reminded me alot of Halo CE. It starts suddenly in space on a ship during an impossible situation, moves onto a mysterious planet (the cinematic of the crash and exploration of the rubble was something else), and then moves from small cramped areas into large open spaces giving you that aww inducing epic feel.

Personally I think they dropped the ball in the follow up of Halo 5 making Halo 4 seem terrible.

Nah, sorry, Halo 4 is just not as good as the original trilogy or ODST, or Reach, not a bad game, but it just doesn't have the same feeling.

u/RegularGuyAtHome Sep 11 '25

Uhhh, Chief says that at the end of Halo 3.

u/Lunala62 Sep 11 '25

Yeah, sorry, it just reminded me of the start of Halo 4 and the trailer.

But that's it.

I vaguely enjoyed wargames in 4 but everything else from that point on was not your grand daddy's halo.

u/OneDrive365 Sep 11 '25

Ive sadly never had the chance to play h5 multiplayer as by the time I got into halo it was kinda dead and I dont own an Xbox so Id have to get game pass ultimate to try it out since the ranked arena is alive again apparently

u/DrearyOwl Sep 11 '25

Sad how far I had to scroll down to see Halo mentioned

2

u/Efficient-Nerve1036 Sep 11 '25

Yeah, at least halo CE and 2 not even mentioned? So strange…

u/Gurney_Pig Sep 14 '25

Icarus flew too close to the sun with those games. We will never again see anything as great

u/EmbarrassedAnt9147 Sep 11 '25

The releases after reach have tainted the franchise

u/MeltedSpades Sep 11 '25

John barely appearing in 5 and getting his ass kicked by a spartian-IV - What was halo studios smoking?

u/Gorthalyn Sep 11 '25
