I've been talking about this with people for years. I should note, that I don't plan on leaving this franchise until my breathing stops, but I am definitely in the minority now. I am 28 years old, started with Halo 1 in 2001. Didn't hit online play until Halo 3 when I was a Freshman/sophomore in highschool. I remember some really cool guy from New Zealand who would take the time to play with me every morning before school and never judged me based on my (more than likely) still squeaker level voice. He just jammed the game with me. Halo as a franchise NEEDS younger players. Even if they can be obnoxious to play with at times or like different things than the aging fan base, without new blood, Halo will just slowly wither and die. I hope Infinite will bring in a whole new generation of Halo fans that can play custom games with their friends until way too late at night. I hope they can fall in love with the story that I've loved for 20 years. I hope they can discover Forge and create some truly amazing things. Halo deserves to continue and in order to do that, the older fans need to let the younger fans have their time with it and grow to love it.

I went through the same thing back in '07 when I was 10. Started with CE as a young kid, first had access to online play in Halo 3, some older guys were very nurturing and friendly despite the age gap. It led to a lot of great memories. I play a hell of a lot less video games in general now due to my life trajectory but when I do, no matter what game I play, I carry those experiences with me to make gaming a better experience for the younger kids. There's no reason we should make them suffer because we got roasted for our voices back in the day. Helping them feel including opens up fun experiences for all parties and it's great to be one who can push positive gaming for the youth. Being accepting of kids in the gaming space has a lot of great results for fanbases and the youth's individual memories in gaming and it's something we should all actively strive for.

Genuinely impressed by the accuracy of the "three houses" theory, particularly the stipulation that allegiance comes down to the game a fan had their first deep connection to rather than just the first game they played. My first Halo game was Halo 3, but I was too young and too new to Halo, as well as story-driven gaming as a whole, to really get invested in it in any meaningful way (it didn't help that my family didn't have Xbox Live at the time). Reach came out when I had just started high school, when gaming had become more of a hobby for me as opposed to a social obligation, and when I'd had inescapably engaging narrative experiences with games like The Orange Box. As a result, it was one of the first shooters I got invested in on a narrative level. Reach isn't just my favorite Halo game, it's probably my favorite game of all time.

Coincidentally very much looking forwards to Infinite, & I do hope we can be receptive enough to the noobs.

I remember being a little kid playing Halo 2 online and how I had plenty of adult friends to play the game with. Those guys really helped show that age doesn’t matter in an online game if you’re all having fun. I hope I can be the old school Halo player that helps the next generation find the love I have for this franchise.

I grew up playing Reach the most.

I love Reach’s aesthetic, the customization, and even little things like the motion capture and writing that really put the campaign up there in terms of enjoyment for me, all despite its major downfalls. It seems that Infinite is replicating the best parts of Reach, I only hope the sandbox and its campaign can mimic that of 3 so that we can that amazing campaign and multiplayer experience, all with the phenomenal visuals of Reach.

A bit tangential, but as somebody who started with CE (but mostly got into H2) a LOT of the modern Halo discourse baffles me. So many people talk about "Classic Halo" or "Sandbox vs Abilities" which makes me question if they were around to see 2 and 3 come out, because there was NOT a collective agreement that all the stuff 2 and 3 added were in line with prior games, and nobody viewed the content that they added through the lense of Sandbox vs Abilitiy additions. A ton of the stuff 2 and 3 added got criticism, on the basis of totally different thought processes. I think way too many people in the modern Halo community try to rationalize their own personal preferences as some sort of consistent design principal that Halo has always had when in reality, most of the things I see people define "Classic Halo" as were actually violated by the Classic games themselves: No abilities? What do you think melee, jump, and crouch are? Duel Wielding and Hijacking are also abilities to an extent even if they interact with the broader sandbox, and even if those aren't, the Binoculars H2 added certainly are. The Golden Triangle? Bungie broke their own rule there with Equipment in Halo 3. Even starts? Halo 5 has even starts but people still don't call it classic, etc. On the note of Halo 5, I'd be curious to see if thetre's any correlation between people who started with/have Halo 2 as their favorite of the Classic games, with liking Halo 5's multiplayer/enhanced mobility. Because as a big Halo 2 fan, a LOT of Halo 5's miltiplayer reminds me of Halo 2, especially the map design and how you can leverage things like thrust, hover, and slide for platforming and skilljumps. Both games have a lot of platforming and unorthodox routes for map traversal using vertical mobility.

Really cant agree with you here. I think that after the launch of Reach, 4 and 5 people just gained perspective on what is Halos identity as a franchise. For me, H5 is the most "classic" feeling game out of those 3 but I also didnt like how making players intrinsically more powerful through stuff like faster sprint, dash, charge and gound pound de-emphasized vehicles so much, which are also an extemely important and integral part of the franchise. Theres a reason why this series has steadily lost its popularity since Reach. People started losing interest after too many changes to the formula were made and the games lost their appeal/ identity trying to do what their competition did, but worse. Halo 1-3 played very similarily at their core. Some machanics were added over time but those mainly gave people more options to interact with the sandbox and the einvironment. Like detaching turrets, boarding vehicles, dual weilding, equipment and interactable map hazards but they wouldnt make players themselves more powerful, they just empowered them to use the sandbox to their advantage. And equimpent didnt "break the golden triangle", it enhanced it. It added more variables to the gunfights that made them more interesting without breaking the golden triangle becuase all combat still revolved around it (with some exceptions, id say that eq like the flare or power drain acted more like grenades than neutral equimpent).

@zxcasf3 жыл бұрын
Honestly as a H3 fan I think the sprint argument was always a little knee jerk, to me it's not that sprint was ever bad but more that it was poorly implemented. The concept itself was fine, it's just that having your default move speed virtually cut in half to accommodate it was always an odd choice. Infinite looks like it's got a really good handle on the situation tho, so I think the argument will fall out of use eventually.

Supplying wisdom and help to the Infinite kids will actually be a thing I will willingly do without a doubt.

@glowaru3 жыл бұрын
Don't mean to start anything but as someone who has followed this debate closely for a very long time, I can tell you that arguing over "how Halo should be" and "what makes Halo fun" is the exact same argument topic. Halo straying from its gameplay identity has always caused it to become unfun and unpopular, and the people engaged in this topic have always just wanted Halo to be the best it can be. It's frustrating going from endless Halo growth and success from CE to ODST, and have that golden age of Halo be completely unnecessarily torn to shreds purely because of dumb design decisions starting in Reach, which were just doubled down on in H4, with H5 trying to turn the ship around but failing miserably for the most part. The last decade could've been just as dominated by Halo as it was in the 2000s, if Reach was a proper gameplay sequel to H3. Let's also not fool ourselves. Without strong community feedback from the OGs towards H5's mistakes, the next game would've been H5 Part 2. Halo could've died out and we might've never had MCC on PC if not for Halo Online getting strong positive reception due to OGs flocking to experience that when it happened. Halo Infinite only ended up becoming the recipe for success that it looks to be thanks to OG fans making their voices heard and sending the message to 343i loud and clear about what Halo's identity is all about.

@@Shzl47 Obviously there are people who liked the past 10 years of Halo, but one look at the 2000s compared to the 2010s tells it all. Halo was a king in the gaming industry during the 2000s, making mainstream media news because of its incredible sales figures. Reach had Halo 3 hype and success working to its advantage, yet it still managed to sink the ship and pave the way for Halo to fall into obscurity, which is an impressively horrible failure. Halo 4 and 5 just sank the ship even further. Now we see Halo returning to its original identity and evolving on top of that identity as it always should have instead of replacing it; and would you look at that, the game's making headlines and it's already setting trends with other communities wanting their game to copy Infinite's Battle Pass system, before the game is even out. Let's just all be intellectually honest with ourselves here and admit that Halo sticking to its identity causes Halo to become massively popular cause it's a recipe that has never failed, it was just abandoned. And let's also admit that said abandonment of the Halo recipe causes Halo to fall into obscurity and almost die as a franchise. This way the wasted past decade of Halo gameplay evolution potential will not have been for nothing, and we can all move forward knowing the facts of what makes Halo an industry giant, and what makes Halo fall into obscurity and nearly become a dead franchise.

I've been playing halo for 8 years and I've realized the greatness of the old games and new ones. Each game has its up and downs and reach is the epicenter of it all, infinite will be its successor if it succeeds. Ce, 2, and 3 were the age of halo's rise to fame and the evolution of the weapon sandbox, 4 and 5 were halo's rise of the performance sandbox with armor abilities, sprint and loadouts. Infinite will most likely be its combination of all sandboxes. I'm expecting it to have the goods of all games.

Definitely a great video, but I do think you're slightly underplaying how much Infinite is tied to Halo 3. From the looks of it, Halo Infinite is using primarily a combination of Halo 3 and Halo Reach with its art style, a more rugged and militaristic Halo 3 in a way. On top of that, they're bringing back equipment, but with more of a player focus rather than team focus which is similar to armor abilities. I think its shaping up to be the perfect blend of the 2 biggest houses with some classic Halo CE vibes thrown in and the modernization of the 343 era of games. I'm just saying that I think the House of Halo 3 is going to be pushed out quite as much as you predict, and this isnt even coming from a Halo 3 kid. I'm this weird blend of a CE and a Reach kid. It's kinda hard to explain without going on a massive tangent about my childhood lol

Something i love is that you can genuinely see evidence of the 3 groups visibly in content creators. When a creator gives ideas for the new halo game, they usually "cite" a game or its mechanics as the goal to aim for, or at the very least you can infer which halo game provides the basis for the idea. Try it for yourself! Find your favourite halo youtuber and watch some of their videos, mentally noting which halo their ideas stem from. They probably will mention CE, 3 or Reach at least a few times each anyway just because they are the "pillar" halo games, but the one that they take more influence from is their "group" and likely reflects their age.

I think of the four games I played (CE, 2, 3 and Reach) my favorites are CE and Reach, oddly enough. I havent played 4 or 5 due to fund issues and had been considering getting back into Infinite. I have, however, replayed CE most of any of the titles, partly due to coop and partly as it is quite fun to go back to overall. While CE has major flaws, largely in level design, most commonly cited in the second half, there are parts of CE that would, if included in future titles, make it incredibly unique. Some have pointed to Doom 2016 as an anomaly with not having sprint, as an example. CE had Chief moving fairly quickly, but the levels were often larger to accommodate and as such between that and the lack of good visual indication of how much Chief was booking it it was easy to mischaracterize Chief as slow. I think the style shown once more in Doom would be a solid niche for Halo to hold, especially as while the slide looks important to Infinites strategy in gameplay, Sprint is nearly nonexistant. CE also relied heavily on the sandbox to do most of the heavy lifting for gameplay, as opposed to a slew of abilities for the player character. I do think that is unique in this day and age, and appears to be partly what they are going for. Also, in 2 and 3 you felt like you could take no calculated risks for risk of quick death, an issue Reach and CE were pretty good at combating. Sure, youd still get killed if you overextended, but in the gameplay the health system was there to give you both a cushion in case of mistakes and also allow you to go in when with 2 or 3 it would be suicidal. I actually find a surprising amount of parallels between CE and Reach fundamentally, though I do understand Reach has more in common with 3. Its such a weird topic, as the inclusion or exclusion of specific mechanics fundamentally changes the entire game.

It seems like Halo Infinite takes me from Halo 3 rather than Halo Reach. I get the feeling the first season being based on Halo Reach is more that Halo Reach is the first Shooter game in the timeline.

I think its a mix of 3 and Reach. It's clearly trying to capture parts of both, and from a story perspective, it's definitely got some connection to Reach.

@@claytonpoweredup5750 Definitely the story, given that the book that precedes Infinite is Shadows of Reach and its implied that the new Cortana comes from Halsey's lab back under ONI Sword Base. Tbh I don't know much else about the lore. As for game stuff, it's the customization system, the use of the Reach-styled AR among other cosmetics like armours. The last bit is just the vibe, maybe it's the sprint or something but I really get Reach vibes.

As a "reach kid" (first was ODST, so I started as a lore nut, but reach has my fav MP) I think Halo as a community will get a hell of a lot chiller.

Watching this after Halo Infinite's releas, with all that new knowledge, makes me think even more that this guy is right, Halo CE and Halo 3 fans aren't going to dictate Halo's future as strongly as we do now.

Grew up with Halo CE on XBOX and PC LAN parties. But as I've dipped into other shooters, I feel that I more often agree with the younger generation on lots of things regarding gameplay pace and movement. OG Halo was great and I still feel the nostalgia booting up the campaign from my ancient ISO, but for any franchise to truly continue new blood is needed. And much like yourself, it warms my heart knowing a new generation could find their home in the same shooter franchise I once did.

I played halo 4 first but fell in love with reach by just playing firefight once. I on the other hand then went on to play halo 1 which became my favorite halo game. I still find myself playing the campaign from time to time just to experience the fun dance in combat. I have since then played every halo game and believe halo 1 and reach to be my favorite and although I dislike halo 4 I can’t hate it since it was my entrance into the franchise.

Halo CE kid, played the snot out of that game as a middle schooler. 4 TVs, 4 Xbox’s, System Link Slayer all night long. I am now 30 with 2 kids and playing through MCC with my son has been one of the greatest experiences so far, alongside introducing them to Star Wars. We plan to play through Infinite together. I feel Halo will be like Star Wars where it will be something that is passed down from one generation to the next.

Funny enough I'd be considered a "Reach Kid" yet my first Halo was Halo 3 just a year or two prior to Reach's release. I am in the exact age demographic of the Reach fans yet I firmly believe 3 was always the better game. I personally noticed that not a lot of Reach fans really care very much for story and were more focused on (very specifically) custom games. I do think they should set their sights on the Halo 3 era fans after the Reach fans. Those old Halo 2 heads had their time to shine with H2A and even Halo Wars 2 in a way. But one game that has yet to get a remaster is Halo 3. (I also really enjoyed Halo 4 so take that as you will).
