Ages between games, not much chatter in gaming communities, etc.

Is Halo 6 even in the works? Weren't Halo 4 and Halo 5 meant to be of a trilogy?

Halo devs made some disastrous changes to its gameplay that destroyed its competitive scene.

Halo 5 made some great strides to rectify that but the community would never be that great again in size especially with the shift of esports to battle royals. Also many arnt happy with what the new devs have done with the series bungie leaving halo ended the series.

Also the xbox hasn't done well this gen the 360 popularity has disappeared this gen.

It was a basic game without any innovation. It made people content with complete mediocrity.

Had it not existed, more people would have turned to PlanetSide and we would be in a world where MMOFPS would be commonplace. Instead we got the death of the FPS genre due to casual console-focused trash.

As an Xbox owner I'm not the biggest Halo or Gears fan.

Back in the day when the only competitive FPS were Halo, Call of Duty, BF 1942, Quake 3, Unreal tournament, and CS it was ok, and it was one of the first FPS I remember playing split screen co-op on and having a lot of fun with, but it is pretty shitty imo. I liked the Killzone and Resistance series better tbh.

You had to be there. The golden age for Halo was 2004 - 2011. Everyone and their mothers were playing Halo 3. What made Halo 3 a 10/10 for me were the custom games. I would play a couple matches of BtB then invite players to a custom lobby after and we'd have a fun time playing various game modes. Would add some guys who sticked around and repeat the process. It was awesome.

Both Gears and Halo were born in a time where people had nothing better. Both series have done nothing to enrich their gameplay or add meaningful content besides weapon skins. Gears 5 is literally Gears 4 again, and I can't believe people are excited for it.

Gears literally invented the cover and vault system that are used in many TPS today.

And? Is that an excuse to shart out the same game 6 times? Congrats on the first one's surprise success, but it's stagnated hard.

Lol at people saying the original halo trilogy is shit.

Halo CE was extremely well polished and brought FPSs and multiplayer shooters to light.

Halo 2 was revolutionary, it defined online matchmaking, almost solely responsible for the creation of eSports, and pushed the FPS boom into full effect.

Halo 3 had the biggest launch of its time. It still holds record breaking numbers. The advertising was every where for Halo 3, everyone was hyped for it. It was really a special time to be alive and be apart of the launch of Halo 3 and the online community.

5 was actually pretty good. The campaign was fucking garbage, but the multiplayer was a huge improvement over 4. Still had advanced movement but no loadouts and random weapon drops like 4 had. It felt like an actual "evolution" of the classic gameplay.

That said, I still prefer the classics.

Halo for me ended after 3. The story was over. Reach and ODST were good because it was additional story, but after 3 I had no desire to play 4.

Quake, counterstrike, unreal, goldeneye 64, and on and on

But the halo generation insists Halo was this amazing revolutionary game.

It is more or less Halo just happened to come around when it was ripe for FPS to be on console.

Halo didn't even invent the things people credit it for.

Starsiege tribes had 2 weapon limit before Halo fyi

Tribes also had vehicles much like Halo had.
Infact, thinking on it, Halo heavily copied tribes in alot of ways.
