So are we:

A) Continuing on the installation in Infinite, with all of the flaws that entails, or;

B) Moving to a new setting, and explaining how the Chief and UNSC remnants unfucked themselves in multiple books?

There's no winning. We need a reboot.
 
343 has also decided to update their Code of Conduct "Spartan Code". If you ignore the usual company mandated demands of niggerfaggot worship in their first commandment, 343 is pathetically asking their miniscule playerbase to not teabag and cheat anymore.

Keep in mind that MCC (which at the time of speaking has twice as many players than Infinite on Steam at least) is just infested with skids using cheat menus, AFKers and quitters. So instead of actually doing something about this 343 has resorted to asking pretty-please-can-you-stop,.

We really need 343 to fuck off and someone who actually likes Halo to take over, but that's just pure unadulterated copiu m on my part.
 
No, let the corpse rest in peace.
Were it so easy.

What's with them writing code of conducts in the third person? That is awkward as hell. Sea of Thieves did that as well. You're not "quirky" when you write legalese that way.
It's for the low-IQ niggercattle who can't read a document even if they had a gun pointed directly at their heads.
 
>no plans to bring back the Flood
They did it in halo wars 2 and then refuse to acknowledge it, though. I don't get it.

And in other puzzling moves from 343, they refused to bring back some of their most beloved sandbox additions to infinite. I'm a big sucker for LMGs so I was actually pumped to mow down enemies with the SAW, and the mantis might be my favorite UNSC vehicle period. Yet they didn't make to infinite for some reason. Btw, really awful decision to replace the good old classic shotgun with the bullpup one they came up with.

Also, I've been having a lot of fun playing the halo mythic overhaul mod for reach mcc. And they do bring their own M73 LMG, though I still prefer the SAW. Highly recommend it

How about they Spartan Code a good Halo game already

It's like if they pinched their nose every time people bring up "classic" Halo guns and aesthetic.
They replaced the DMR with a worse version that has a fucking red dot (is this CoD/Battlefield?!), kept old weapons in perpetual "work-in-progress" status (no Fuel Rod Cannon for you Chud, have an ugly Fuel Rod SPNKR instead). I wouldn't be surprised if all past vehicles were left in limbo too, out of spite and also because they were too busy backstabbing themselves.
I used to enjoy BTB in Halo 4 and 5 but in Infinite it's so boring. So few vehicles and weapons, the maps are big (fine) but you waste more time going from your spawn base to where the action is happening only to get killed by an enemy vehicle and respawn back at the base.
 
I've been playing Reach and it highlights a huge problem with Halo that it continuously has had since 3 ended and that on topic with the rest of the thread is the lack of Flood. Story wise yes it makes sense, but Bungie in ODST and Reach didn't make a proper replacement and 343 failed hard with those. Like the Floods inclusion in the first three games happens at the climax to ramp up the stakes and drive you home. Without them the games just turn into sludge. Like Reach tries all sorts of shit that just feels "meh" when the answer in the original trilogy was to release the Flood. Story wise and gameplay wise they are the most important faction.

I respect your opinion and get the fundamentals of it, but an all covenant game doesn't really bother me. They have enough personality and challenge to make it work.

I would also agree from a gameplay level, but on a narrative level the Covenant aren't a monkey wrench enough if they are established as the default enemy. 343 really failed with the Prometheans in Halo 4, but it does take an uneasy balance to make things interesting. The Covenant civil war and its splinter groups would have been a much more interesting avenue to go through. You'd get an anti-balance between the UNSC, the Sangheili, and the rest of the Covenant.
 
Looks like it's business as usual for 343.

This guy kinda fucked up the reporting. It was actually Joe Staten who didn't wanna bring back the Flood (for some reason) and expand more on the Endless in what he was working on for the Infinite sequel campaign.

All these plans got blown up when Microdick came in and fired everyone/rebranded a few years back, so now no one knows if that's what they're still going with or not, but allegedly the new Halo book hints more at the Flood.

I've always thought this too. There's a bunch of structure stuff I would've changed with Reach, one of them probably would have been saving the "newer" Covenant like the Brutes/Skirmishers/Engineers/heavier Covenant variants/etc for the second half of the game to spice it up. And also have you actually fight the damn Scarabs. They could've explained it by saying they're getting pissed you're fucking with their plans so they're sending "specialists" in. I think they kind of did this with the Brutes.

ODST could've had you eventually encounter surviving groups of Elites that hadn't yet been bumped off by the Brutes, also could've had the classic "3 way" battles by doing that.
4 had you encounter the Prometheans too early, in addition to them just being shit/undercooked enemies to fight.
5 fucked it up completely by having the Prometheans there from the start, which was a retarded decision and made the entire game monotonous.
Infinite should have had actual Endless enemies you fight rather than just the 1 bitch you take down at the end.
 
It makes sense to not have the Flood as the main enemy in post-Halo 3 games but it would have been nice to have an encounter with one "experiment gone wrong" on the broken Halo.
Then again when I had a bit of hopeium for Infinite, I was thinking we would visit different biomes on the ring, with Firefight based them, instead they turned multiplayer Forge maps with bad lighting into Firefight and called it a day.
