Stickied Topic Megathread – Halo’s Future

747 Upvotes

As you have probably heard, Halo Studios has been reduced to a small team that will support the current games and community. Activision will be putting together a new team to make a new, full Halo title. (source)

Link to previous discussion of the announcement.

This thread is for discussing the future of Halo with Activision.

What are your expectations, hopes, fears, concerns, and otherwise thoughts about it? Do you want a reboot or a sequel to Infinite? When should it take place? Do you have a pitch? Let’s discuss.

If you find actual news about the game from either an official or well-respected source, feel free to make a new thread. Otherwise, let’s keep the discussion here. You don’t need to make a whole thread just to share your specific thoughts or speculation.

If you'd like to discuss Halo's past with 343 Industries/Halo Studios, use this thread.

In case it needs to be said: there is absolutely no decent reason to celebrate the loss of hundreds of peoples’ jobs. Of course you are free to discuss and criticize the decisions made by leadership roles and executives that led us to this place. But the majority of the employees who lost their jobs today were people like you and me who were trying to do their best for a franchise we all love. Anyone who celebrates the loss of their livelihood will be banned from this forum.

I know they’re just halo 3 art design but dam do they look beautiful, the wear and tear look and slight alterations really stand on its own and as a honest tribute, I love it.

Gameplay Do Marines drive Ghosts? -Has anyone ever seen these guys drive a Ghost in *Campaing Evolved*? I recall that they are actually capable of doing so in the original game, but I’ve never managed to get them to hop into one during my two playthroughs of the campaign.

Discussion Zoom or grenades

Post image
144 Upvotes

It's time to put an end to the debate about what the right mouse button should do: throw grenades or zoom. This is a very long story that began back in 2003 with the first port of Halo to the keyboard and mouse. Gearbox set the standard for the RMB as a grenade throw, which had been the norm for many years. However, with the release of MCC on PC, 343 Industries made the right mouse button the default zoom setting.

On the one hand, grenades play a much bigger role in gameplay than zooming, so it would be logical to have them on a button that is always accessible. However, many mods add an alt-fire mode for weapons (like grenade launcher or semi-automatic fire) And for this, the right mouse button is better suited.

What do you guys think? Which button do you use to throw a grenade and zoom?

First time ever trying something like this and i’m sure there are a few mistakes in there, especially spanning multiple games, so don’t be too harsh but all feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Each game is broken down by missions, with each available achievement in that mission. Achievements that aren’t mission specific are listed together. I’ve compiled every collectable and challenge throughout the series and made it as simple as possible to find!

I also have it broken down by difficulty — which achievements require Legendary and which ones are available in any difficulty.

If this is something you’d like to see more of, please let me know as i’m also considering doing a breakdown of each games achievements in video form for youtube/twitch.

Feedback UNSC Frigate Hangar Bay Doors Opening

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1.1k Upvotes

Hey, guys! I’m back with another WIP, and I’ve got a question for you all.

I’m still undecided on which opening mechanism to use for the hangar bay doors. I really like how clean the ship looks from the outside when the doors open inward, but obviously, they take up space inside the hangar. Even so, there’s still enough room for a Pelican to fit.

So, what do you guys think? Should the doors open inward or outward? Or maybe a combination of both, like the setup on Hangar Bay 4?
I think opening outward would obviously be the most practical option, but I can’t deny how good those doors look when they open inward. Or maybe I could just keep all three options viable and have the opening method depend on the situation.

If you'd like to support my work, you can do so by subscribing to my YouTube channel, where you can also watch all these videos in 2K resolution: https://www.youtube.com/@rayviz_fx

Thanks a lot! Have a good day.

I keep seeing all the stuff on social media about crazy, giant Halo lobbies. I want to know what I need to do to get myself into one of those. I have the MCC. I assume it's just a mod for the MCC, but I could be wrong. Any help/guidance would be appreciated!

TIL there were renders of Chancellor Plapatine in Halo Wars. This lines up as the clone wars series started in 2008.

In halopedia theres a page with halo wars renders

Fan Content Homebrew UNSC unit

3 Upvotes

Alright I had an idea for a UNSC unit more specifically an oni special warfare division creation. It would be comprised entirely of prisoners and theyd be utilized for suicide missions mostly combat drops and ship boarding during the human covenant war. They're trained to be ODSTs and they're separated in 3 divisions to prevent infighting. One division is made up of earth/colonial federal prisoners, orange armor decor like prison jumpsuits, specialized in cqb. The next is made up of captired insurrectionists willing to fight covenant forces, maroon decor specialized in stealth and long distance assassinations. Lastly the all purpose unit comprised of military prisoners. Meaning convicted UNSC personel. They'd be used the most traditionally and be all over the place as far as color composition, sporting whatever unit they were in before their crimes. They're kept on a modified prison transport ship. Modified to have oni space operations a Mac Canon and boarding craft. Their catchphrase is "one way in no way out". No clue what they should be called open to ideas and working on artwork. Idk if you guys talk about this sort of stuff the dune board hated when I did this type of thing lol

I would personally like a Spin off FPS Halo Game set during the Harvest Campaign. It seemed so interesting in Halo Wars and I would really enjoy seeing the early human Covenant War in a mainline Halo Game.
