343 didn't do the UI, that was outsourced too. 343 only worked on the gameplay for the H2A MP, while CA did the maps.

Just wait till this gets closed.... -_-

really now? well now thats just sad.

I wonder if 343 can pull of a hat trick with H5 and manage to do absolutely no work at all.

And the MP is the thing most people didn't like about H2A. Surprise?

Face it people, 343 didn't do any justice to h2A whatsoever.

The H2A MP has been received pretty well from all that I have seen. Classic competitive rules with a very BR centric weapon set.

H2A MP had a chance to balance Halo 2..... it as much as i don't want to say it.... H2A is MUCH MUCH more balanced. Like how you can't one shot people with the BR and you can't dominate EVERY one with the energy sword.

Lacks maps though

Well H2 is a broken POS that even it's devs bash on a constant basis, and none of the brains behind H1 MP worked on it which is why it feels so vastly different.

The same devs that think SPv3 is more appealing than TSC:E, I assume.
They sound like a charming lot.

Loadman making up stories since 2011

Also keep in mind that i have a bias with Halo 2 Classic, because it was one of the first games i ever played. : /
(Keep in mind i still love Halo 2. :P)


But H2 Classic has better campagin.
You can't mess around with Halo 2 Anniversary with out it looking like a broken mess, Halo 2 aways stays at a good... meh.... graphics. Halo 2 Anniversary wants you to play it straight point a, point b.
(Also, masterz...... Halo 2 still has the basic Halo 1 RPS gameplay, stop hating on how Halo 2 is soooo original.)

Yeah, did everyone known what 343i said to the MCC mistake ---> Next time we not put all Halos into one Disk Edition. Next time we sold them each separate! They didnt learn anything!

To like 343i stuff or not is a point of view. Why made Bungie something different like Halo Reach. Because with Halo Reach they can do a different style what was with Master Chief (Halo 1 - Halo 3) not possible. They hold from Halo 1 to Halo 3 the same style of gameplay. Halo Reach was not bad. The only thing what was bad are the maps from Halo Reach. Use Campaign Maps for Multiplayer just a example. Halo Reach is still better than Halo 4.

The only point where Bungie and 343i do both wrong is that they drop all Halo Multiplayer maps beginning from Halo 1 to Halo 4. Why they not inculde with each new Halo release the old Multiplayer maps from the older Halos? If they not have ideas to create Multiplayer maps from scratch!

Take a look at Halo 5 now. Why it looks like CoD. Warzone is for noobs, sorry. If that doesnt help buy tradecards to get better Weapons, Vehicles or other upgrades that disappear after you used them. For the next game buy new one or collect points to unlock them for free. If I see four Banshee or three Mantis from the same team spawn. Where is here the challenge. Warzone this name fit it. BTW I see a Mantis I running to the next trade station where I select the weapon to blow this Mantis into pieces. Thats not Halo.

I played every Halo. Halo Reach was the Halo where I said not more changes. Improve that but do not more changes!!! The Result was Halo 4. Halo 5 is a step back but not Warzone. I didnt play Halo 5 beta. Still have my Jtag Xbox 360 where I have fun with AI mods.

They still did a better job then H:CE anniversary though :/

Halo 3 is the best Halo, it is balanced changed a little bit but not too much and can be a fun few hour long campaign or a pick up and play.
I had a match of Halo 4 and Halo 3 with my brother, he took the energy sword and the battle rifle in Halo 4 were as i hunted down the plasma weapons he won. He looked for the energy sword and battle rifle in Halo 3, i hunted down the SMG and plasma pistol... i won using quick thinking about using what i have instead of hunting down the "Best" weapons.

Halo 1 to Halo 3 had map control. If the other team not work like a team or fast enough to grab the power weapons they automatic lose. I remember this very well and worked very well.

Armor ability had every Halo that comes out. The point is how they implanted them to balance the Gameplay. If everyone can do camouflage thats boring.

But if you can grab or replace Armor ability during the gameplaye thats fun. I run to the place and grab the camouflage armor ability someone kill me and now he is able to grab this ability, for example. Thats a improvement. I created some maps with this gameplay style using Halo Reach and played this style with my friends. They liked it more than the original Halo Reach Multiplayer Balance. A Halo with Weapon Loadout where everyone has the armor ability from the beginning is boring because you can not avoid that everyone use the same ability.
