@BSquaredMfg Half the world is not capable of second order thinking. They cannot perceive or evaluate their perspective. (Or camera in this case.) They can only see what is directly in view.

ca. 1986 "When a world disintegrates, nothing more quickly becomes contemptible than its dead values, nothing more dead than its fallen gods, and nothing more offensively fetid than its old necessities. This will be no less true of the values of this dying age, of which one of

Watching Halo Twitter try to tear down original Halo devs sharing bits of history is crazy. This is exactly why developers don't want to talk to you.

Halo: Combat Evolved wasn’t just great because of its level design, enemies, music, or story. It felt free. You could push boundaries, explore, and discover things the devs didn’t hold your hand through. Most games back then told you “you can’t go there.” Halo said “try me.”

A few of us at Bungie had an unspoken rule about Halo cinematics: Never make the player in the cinematic feel more "badass" than the actual game. We don't want players thinking "I wish that's how the game actually felt". Cinematics should serve the gameplay, not compete w it.

$ICP Beautiful multi year acc base. Continuation entry at 6 past the structural top and VPOC reclaim too good to pass up. Long since then. Likely flags at 18 when it gets there.

Old school Master Chief was a power fantasy. Doomguy, Kratos, Rambo levels of badass. Now he’s brooding, emotional, and keeps getting tossed around. Maybe some like that, but I played Halo to be unstoppable, not to watch him cry over Cortana again.

For me, this was the moment when Halo went from being a War Story with futuristic elements to a Sci-fi Superhero Story. It’s an impossible shot. The camera flies around and through objects, time speeds up and slows down at random, the camera anticipates events that are scripted

Funny how every newer Halo game loves showing Master Chief getting beaten up or captured… meanwhile, classic Halo made him a one man unstoppable machine. 🤔

The Halo 5 intro lined up with the Power Rangers movie audio way too perfectly. It’s like they were made for each other.

Halo 2 Anniversary’s Blur cutscenes are stunning, but the gameplay completely missed the original’s aesthetic, same problem Halo CE Anniversary had. One thing that made the originals so replayable was visibility. You could see your enemies. Now it’s all overdone lighting and

Remake the OG Halo games? For what? MCC already nailed it, and Halo 2 Anniversary still looks gorgeous. If they’re really redoing 1–3, say goodbye to a new Halo game till 2030.

You’d have to be blind not to see the similarities between Halo Anniversary and Halo Campaign Evolved. Watch this and tell me you don’t notice it too. 👇

Halo wasn’t just another game with a small fanbase, it was the game. There’s a reason so many people are still replaying the classics years later.

If you wonder why I have little faith in Halo’s future, just look at the past decade. Changing a name is what companies usually do when they’re trying to escape a bad reputation.

Take the Spirit dropship, for example. Fingers crossed a lot of what we saw in that demo is just placeholder, because I really don’t want another Halo Anniversary situation.

Rumor: Halo Studios remaking the Halo Trilogy in Unreal Engine 5 starting with Halo CE. A bold move to modernize a classic, but risks tampering with an icon like remaking Star Wars. Genius reboot or redundant? #Halo #Gaming

The Covenant supply cases in this remake are kind of plain compared to previous ones.
