A History of Cancelled Halo Games and Concepts

That megablocks game looked so cool

[@Duhya]

Probably would've done well around the time the first Lego Star Wars games came out. I would've played it as a kid, especially coop. Now though I feel like you've played one lego action/platforming game and you've played them all.

Megablocks is lego but with videogame licenses.

[@jerrell1169]

Sebastian Montoya Oh are you a natsoc? Cool either way but Megabloks have seemingly gotten way less cheap, I used to have some of the stuff around 2009 and was severely dissatisfied. Just recently while shopping for my younger brothers birthday I stumbled on a model and decided to get it, the figures are well articulated and the pieces are relatively high quality. So they were cheap but seemingly have gotten much higher quality.

[@samturner6061]

a Halo RPG would be really cool. Where you have access to a large map of the galaxy with procedural and some handmade worlds of all different kinds. The underlying main plot of the war against the covenant and forerunners happens in the background and you can make your way to certain systems to take part in key battles shifting the war effort in new directions. You level up by travelling to different worlds using a Spartan team you create yourself, as in like your toughness, your agility your stamina your strength, these build up as you become more of a veteran and take part in more battles, but your equipment / tech upgrades as you find and scavenge tech. For example if you raid a covenant science vessel with your spartan team, the normal covenant forces there using regular issue covenant armour and weapons can be scavenged at the end of the mission by the crew on your ship, and act as a kind of currency, as you reverse engineer it and find out new things like how to improve your armour's shield or utilise plasma tech for new weapons or to upgrade human weapons. But hunting and killing special named elites like royal guards and very high ranking covenant, they will drop 'rare' items that are scavenged at the end of the mission by your crew, that can be reverse engineered to unlock things like active camo and other unique high tech alien things. You can even find on some covenant ships and worlds, maps that lead to forerunner worlds, and if you go to these places and scavenge everything, you can unlock some seriously high tech stuff, lost technology. as youre taking these places out you're weakening the overall war effort of the covenant, so when you take part in the key battles and the larger events, you will notice that the spec ops elite teams dont have enhanced shields, the brute chieftain or royal guard elites are weaker somehow. So you could play as a pure treasure hunter and roll into lore accurate battles as a kind of secret super spartan with forerunner upgrades and stolen covenant tech. You could even have a mechanic where if you run too many heists on covenant stations in a short amount of time, they send death squads after you that can slipspace ontop of your ship and invade it causing you to have to defend and maybe even lose your crew, stealing back their research and kidnapping them or killing them, drastically shifting the style of gameplay. At a max level of wanted by the covenant you could have an Arbiter hunt you during missions. To stop this from getting too out of your control or to fast forward and take part in different battles in the Halo timeline, perhaps skipping a hundred years and coming back to aid the master chief in pivotal points of his campaigns, you could go into cryo with your team of spartans. I envision it playing like halo/republic commando, with mass effect style cinematic / conversation / exploration around the galaxy in your ship. Will probably get a lot of people disagreeing with me on this but that's ok, Halo has been indented to us as a strict linear game and it does this better than mostly any other FPS. I just really want to explore the universe of halo myself with my own customised spartan. Blame Reach for that lol. Gave me a taster. All I wanted to do while I was playing reach was fly my spartan to the in amber clad and COOP it up with the chief.

Capitalism deprived us of more halo? I’m getting the T-34.

[@mulatto401]

They left millions on the table with that Mega Blocks game...

Too bad Halo 5 wasn't a cancelled game

[@IntelCorei-KProcessor-go2to]

Had Microsoft given 343 more time, we might actually have seen a better campaign.

[@cyphaborg6598]

You can actually see by looking at Halo 5 and Destiny why there was internal conflict,both games disappointed in story but somewhat made it better with multi-player.I'm telling you (as a Black Armory Destiny 2 Forsaken experienced player)the time of great story-telling died before even Destiny or Halo 5 came out.(Not even Halo 4 comes close to prior Bungie games)

The cross hair placement in this whole video is trash

[@ThreeProphets]

The Blomkamp movie and TV projects culminated in the Landfall short, although I do have a mystery script adaptation of The Flood by William Dietz that I believe to be legitimate

[@verdadamericano4217]

God, watching this is giving me such nostalgia for the early to mid 00's. Comfy ass time for gaming.

[@R0ndras]

Microsoft cancelled Halo MMO because of Kinect? Amazingly dumb

[@cyphaborg6598]

Shit,they crippled Xbox for Kinect.

[@ussneworleans7490]
