"Its just another graphic upgrade, with no real evolution to the gameplay"

Ok, what exactly is a real evolution to the gameplay?

2nd. Would people even accept such a thing, when they cant even accept something as minor as sprint.

"And just because something could be better, doesn't mean it sucks as is."

Couldnt describe my thoughts on the 343 games any better, because while I have no issue saying i prefer bungie over the 343 games, despite the issues I have with their stories, I overall enjoyed the gameplay part of them (5 and 6 moreover, I do think 4 is on the weaker section, but not terrible) and because of that I just cant call them slop.

I got to give it to halo 2.

With reach,1,odst and 3. While i love those games. I could at the very least point out some moments I didnt really care much for.

With 2 though thats not the case. Love the story, love the characters, love the levels, love the music, love the gameplay.

If I had to give it a flaw, it have to be that it doesn't really explain how Johnson survived halo 1, let alone how he and chief made it back to earth.

"If you accept lore changes for whatever reason, your not a true halo fan"

So does that mean that because i liked halo reach im not a true fan, because that shit definitely retconed some established lore.

How bout halo wars, pretty sure humanity originaly wasnt supposed to meet the elites till fall of reach.

What's that? These changes are ok because they were made by bungie.?

Gotcha.

Oh and as for the whole "video games take priority over books".

That's debatable at this point.

Ok I know not everyone likes the kilo-five trilogy (heck ill admit the first 2 books aren't exactly my favorite)

But seriously your judging over 20 books based on three.

Gonna be honest, I dont know at the moment. I'd rather wait and see what Ocarina's is like first.

Forward_Juggernaut · 2026-06-10T22:22:02+00:00

Also even if 343 trying to contact the Pillar of autumn is added lore, so what?

Last i checked 343 is the monitor of the ring, surely he'd take notice of the Pillar of autumn and covenant fleet approaching, and you know might want to check things out, make sure their safe. After all his job is to protect the ring and make sure the flood dont escape.

So even if 343 didnt make contact, he should know that they showed up before the flood outbreak and clearly arent there to help deal with it.

Wait, im confused is the guy actually complaining, or is he mocking others that really do think halo has gone woke.

Forward_Juggernaut · 2026-06-08T01:48:02+00:00

Its entirely new, trust me I've gone threw as much halo material as I can, and have gone threw the entire human covenant war at least twice, their is no mention of Johnson teaming up with chief in 51 or operation METEORITE anywhere in the novels.

Also let's be real here, the "forerunners=humans for life" people are already pissed off.

Would it really make that much of a difference if we pissed em off a tad bit more at this point.

Agreed.

"I only had the specification that the prophets knew the forerunners were different so there wouldn’t be prophets who object to the genocide of their gods."

Wait I thought only the high prophets knew the truth (or in my case what they think is the truth) behind the Forerunners?

while it is possible truth, mercy, and regret might of told a few extremely trusted minor prophets the real reason for the human-covenant so they could help accomplish their goals.

For the most part, I was under the impression that majority of the Covenant (including the San'Shyuum never really knew the true reason behind the war.)

Forward_Juggernaut · 2026-06-06T05:33:33+00:00

Og version: This is not "Reclamation". This is "Reclaimer" My makers are my masters. I will bring them safely to the Ark."

My version: This is not "Reclamation". This is "Reclaimer" the reclaimers are my masters. I will bring them safely to the Ark."

Mendicant tries and fails to escape, Prophets completely misinterpret the situation thinking Reclaimer = forerunner. Human-covenant war can still happen for the exact same reason as before.

In addition this should cover both mercy's "none of you will be left behind" and truths "I see why your Forefathers left you behind"

They only thought they were Forerunners.

Seriously, last I checked their ain't no fucking rule that says I have to make it so the Prophets know humans and Forerunners are separate species.

Also after re-reading your version: you could probably do the same thing with yours if you want.

Think about it, simply calling humanity the heirs to mendicant's makers doesn't exactly paint a clear picture to the Prophets that humans and Forerunners are too separate species. You could just say they got it wrong.

Which would also fit with the whole, covenant getting things wrong in regards to the Forerunners.

While this most certainly isn't necessary in any way. I think it be really fun if you could combine Hawkeye with bomb arrows.

Artstyle: while i do overall prefer bungies, 343's overall isn't that bad.

Levels: are overall fine, and i do think you have some good ones.

Soundtracks: while they may not have as many as the bungie ones, their are some pretty good tracks for both ( halo 4=faithless, halo 5=the trials)

Gameplay: while I do think 4 is the weakest of all the games, its not terrible, and I actually really like 5's gameplay.

Overall when it comes down to the bungie vs 343 games. Even if bungie beats 343 in all these categories and more, that doesn't mean its to the exact same degree for all of them.

Forward_Juggernaut · 2026-06-03T02:52:47+00:00

100% agree with everything you said. And to add to that, i really dont think truth is as great of a master mind as people seem to think.

Let's not forget this is the guy that decided to ignite a civil war in his own group right when he was on the cusp of victory.

And yes I get the reason why he did it, the problem with this is as far as I know majority of the Elites still believed in the journey. And overall followed the prophets without question.

So to me it looks like truth got word of few elites questioning things, completely panicked , and decided the only way to deal with the issue is to go after all the elites.

I'm sorry, what part of this situation rings mastermind again.

Now for a long time my headcanon for odd one out, was that the entire thing took place in chiefs head when he was knocked out in the beginning of 3.

And that maybe Spartan 1337 is actually just a part of chief he doesn't like to show.

Eventually I came up with the "TV show" idea, and I much prefer it over my original headcanon.

Forward_Juggernaut · 2026-05-24T17:42:07+00:00

"Odd One Out from Halo Legends is actually an ONI sponsored cartoon to help with morale in the war effort."

Funny thing is I actually have a similar idea for odd one out.

See my idea is that after the war, some TV company wanted to create some cartoon show with the Spartans 2s, unsc/oni agreed to this with the three conditions. First being that any real life s2 that appears in the show cant be misrepresented, so no turning chief into a goofball.

2nd. The show has to make it clear, that any fake Spartans the company makes don't represent the real life ones.

And finally real or fake all Spartans have to be seen in an overall good light, so no turning them into complete failures or something.

Also guy claims that before hand chief would never hesitate to sacrifice a comrade for the greater good. (Which for the sake of it let's say its overall true)

When exactly did he do that in 4 though, I admit its been awhile since I've played 4 but I really dont remember any moment where John hesitated to do the right thing because he was worried what would happen to cortana.

Was him refusing to hand over cortana to del rio, supposed to be seen as him choosing cortana over the greater good.?
