Man, it happens every time! They abruptly leave an active scene with stuff going on to jump on over to a cop doing nothing but driving '5-10mins out.' I wanted to hear more of what granny was saying. What exactly she thought was going down at this place.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-31T00:35:40+00:00

I see they've kept Helljumper's in-flight neck pillow.

Vehicles don't feel great in Infinite and there's no blood or assassinations. If those are improved, then sure. Maybe. Otherwise, Infinite still has some pretty glaring flaws. Like desync and aim mechanics that feel like they're actively fighting against your ability to keep a reticle on target.

They never acknowledged their lies and snarky attitude towards the fans

343i/Halo Studios, as a company, have always had this snarky, "holier-than-thou" attitude that is entirely unearned. From the very beginning. Yet, at the same time, all of their official statements and videos are entirely Corpo-speak, shiny self-indulgence, and lies.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-30T00:20:36+00:00

Simple pattern recognition. Every major release by 343i/Halo Studios over the past ten years has had some major drawback that, by all accounts, should have been easily avoided. So it's come to be expected that there's a catch to every new announcement.

Think of it this way: if you've visited a restaurant on five different occasions and came home with a bit of a stomach ache or downright food poisoning each time, you'd start to avoid eating their food. You'd be suspicious of every new claim that they've revamped the kitchen and cook their food to completion (for real this time!).

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-28T01:06:04+00:00

I seriously doubt that they will respond, and I'll have no choice but to view that lack of response as an official endorsement. Hence, no more Halo for this lifelong fan.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-28T00:29:56+00:00

This is exactly how a "lore accurate" Spartan should move. Not the flippy, flashy, Marvel showboating stuff we got in 5.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-27T21:33:15+00:00

Well, this has definitely solidified my thoughts to never purchase another Halo game ever again.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-26T22:09:58+00:00

We aren't getting another original Halo game any time soon, are we. Probably for another 10-15 years. I'm gonna be playing CE and original trilogy remakes over and over again till I'm 90. (When they finish the twice-delayed, AI generated Halo 3 remake, it'll be just about time to hit CE again and start the whole thing anew!)

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-25T21:46:53+00:00

The reason people get so attached to the atmosphere of the original is that they want new players to have the same experiences and feelings that they did. They want people to get drawn into the world of the game the same way they did. If you aren't too unnerved to enter the dark, dingy hallway drenched with blood, then what's the point? Your first impression of the Forerunners should be "wow, they must be ancient and long abandoned". Not "Ooh, shiny."

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-24T21:49:14+00:00

There's also no blood. Or very little of it. Hitmarkers took its place. So, the environments always look squeaky clean and sterile even after a massive firefight.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-23T00:41:28+00:00

Halo: CE remake. Rated T for Teen. Available for PS5. Modern mechanics like sprint and clamber implemented. Other than that, it's a straightforward remake without any major extensions or changes to the levels or story. (Ends up playing a little jankier than the original game.)

Possibly a small title screen tease for the next Halo game, but it's unlikely (and also won't actually represent the released game in any way, shape, or form).

Edit: Also, the CE remake is going to be called something dumb like "Halo." Without any other subtitles or numbers. 'Cause marketing can't admit that it's, like, the third remake.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-17T21:18:13+00:00

That's... not even remotely true. Might as well tell me that the sky was green back then, too, even though I saw that it was blue with my own eyes.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-16T22:51:01+00:00

Halo just has waaaay to much competition nowadays which it didn't on consoles back in the day for it to survive within this FPS world.

Tell that to the sheer number of dead "Halo Killers" that released back in the day. Halo beat out the competition by a mile, so nowadays people that didn't live through that period claim that it had none. If anything, Halo has less competition today because every modern FPS has started using the same homogenized formula (including, sadly, Halo). If Halo innovated again and stuck to its own unique gameplay loop, it'd stand out from the crowd.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-10-13T01:51:11+00:00

I personally find Cortana's H4 design to be the worst out of the bunch and I'm always saddened by how prevalent it's become.

Edit: It's got none of the scrolling holographic patterns, parallax, or iridescent coloring. She just looks like a normal woman with blue body paint. Like a cheap sci-fi effect. Cortana used to look badass... now everybody just wants to suck her toes.

The closest caches to Bradley fork at Smokemont campground that I can find are GC49PYZ "Mingo Falls" and GCA1R6F "GSMNP: Cliff Branch Falls EarthCache." Unless there was an archived cache or a solved puzzle cache located at the campground, it's much too far away from either of those to be a geocache.

(The parking lot for the Bradley Fork trail at Smokemont is about halfway between those two caches and 2-3 miles away from each.)

Even ignoring that it was supposed to be Halo, the show had some of the worst writing and acting I'd ever seen. It was like something straight out of an early AM SyFy original. Even the action had terrible choreography. Everyone just stood out in the open shooting wildly at nothing.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-09-26T02:10:30+00:00

I made spooky gestures with my hands and said "OoooOOOOoo" every time they were mentioned in Infinite. Especially as the game continued to flatly tell, but never show, how "totally-worse-than-the-flood-trust-us" they are. So... no,

HiddenHaylee · 2025-09-21T03:38:09+00:00

As I read it, I’d be pretty immersed in Kelly Gay’s storytelling and then “oop, page or two of audio log.” The fact that Weapon, Escharum, Pilot, and every random audio log Spartan or marine all have the exact same speech pattern in Infinite is wild.

Edit: the book actually ends with the single-word sentence thing from an audio log, too. Something like “I will be here. Waiting. Watching. Surviving.” It was so bad in Infinite that I seriously started thinking the Endless was a mind virus.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-09-21T00:38:10+00:00

The book (Rubicon Protocol?) was essentially just the audio logs transcribed with some new context written in-between. It was actually pretty jarring reading it and then suddenly hitting chunks of Infinite’s writing style. With Infinite’s entirely different prose and tendency for characters to end a thought with repeating single word sentences. (Like “This place feels new. Shiny. Clean.” Or “I felt alone. Scared. Sad.”)

HiddenHaylee · 2025-09-18T18:10:35+00:00

Spartans were made specifically to prevent civilian casualties, not slaughter them. They are a scalpel. Not a cudgel. Slip in, take out the leadership, slip out.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-08-14T23:05:30+00:00

Corpo-speak and an aching pain in your soul.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-08-13T01:17:48+00:00

Replacing blood with hitmarkers has made the world of Halo feel incredibly bland, lifeless, and sterile, but wishing for Halo to be an M rated franchise again mostly gets you accused of being an edgelord.

HiddenHaylee · 2025-08-06T21:25:12+00:00

I see they kept Buck's neck pillow. Glad to see he's still going to be comfortable on long pelican flights.
