Ensemble Studios definitely deserves so much better we only got half of their vision and it could have been even further than that it could have been so much better
Halo Starfighter with Ace Combat controls and being able to view from the cockpit would be a nice game to have. Give it multiplayer, forge, theater, and a long-ish campaign would be great.
Would have loved a Halo game that played like the OG Star Wars Battlefront, large ships and large teams going back and forth between fighting in space and fighting in the ships themselves. Would have been a great game or at least gamemode.
Ace Combat/Project Wingman/Star Wars: Rogue Squadron/Freelancer arcadey-ness would have been nice and all, but I would preferred it having the hard-earned simulated realism of games like Star Wars: X-Wing, FreeSpace, and Tachyon: The Fringe.
I worked at Certain Affinity during Halo 4’s development. It was a really special time, and Max is a legitimate genius, and a kind, engaged, involved studio head.
@@logan_jp3 It was exciting and tense and everyone knew they were working on something important. I don’t want to blow too much smoke, because I know H4 wasn’t received the best. But it really is true that hundreds of people put their whole heart into making a fun experience for Halo fans. I’d definitely talk about it for hours over a beer or five, but it’s a lot to put into a TH-cam comment 😘 It was a really great time in my life for sure. I got to wake up every day and get paid to play Halo - literal dream come true.
Yeah I honestly don't know why he didn't like it. Halo is a big ip and it would've been rated e. Just look at the success of other Lego type games with big names. It would've been a financial success
@@megathicc6367Not only that, but it was being made by another studio. 343 would've likely spent very few resources, if any, had it been made, so complaining about 343 throwing resources at it over other Halo spin-offs doesn't really make sense.
Joe Staten: "For Chronicles, you're gonna play a lowly marine, it's gonna be a very intimate and human experience" Also Joe Staten: "...Then you transform into a jet in low orbit to combat Covenant cruisers using your own body as a missile!"
The idea of an RTS where the Flood is not only a playable faction but also has a campaign reminds me greatly of the Scourge campaign in Warcraft 3: It took me completely by surprise when I got to it and I really liked it because of the story behind it (kind of like the Arbiter in H2).
That sounds awesome honestly. I really hope 343 makes some spin off games. Ik its been said a million times before, but imagine another Halo game that’s as good as or better than ODST.
@@Theson97 something I've wanted to see for a while. Its crazy we don't have more spin off games with the universe of halo being so big. There's countless games that could be made, like imagine a spartan team black game, where you operate behind enemy lines and have to utilize stealth, because there's no back up.

Me and my brother absolutely love your Content HiddenX. We're both Halo nuts and your lore and general Halo videos are some of our favorite things to watch. Great video 👍
My brother and I are the ultimate halo duo. To prove this we can 2v2 in any halo game. Then a game of trivia. Whoever loses must watch the entire halo TV show without alcohol, drugs, popcorn, or posion
In halo lore they mentioned after the fall of reach that there were still some survivors, very few but some were there. I thought a survival game on reach post fall would be pretty neat
@@xyreniaofcthrayn1195 yeah but I was thinking more like a squad of Marines, Spartans, or ODSTs that didn't make it to the pillar of autumn in time. Or even civilians holding up in a fallout bunker in new mambasa
We need a Halo Wars 3 the series needs a true conclusion or a bridge into the main steam games. Many of us have grown attached to the spirit and it’s crew almost as much as Chief and we all want to see their story continue And it’s a wasted opportunity not bringing Jerome back, if Steve Downes ever wanted to hang up the armour and we see Chief’s story finally come to an end Jerome is the perfect character to pick up the protagonist title: he’s still in his prime due to him being in cryo for years, has extraordinary leadership skills so much he was promoted to the spirits second in command and of course he’s got the moves, boarded a Banished ship and cleared out a room of brutes in pitch black then held off several waves of brutes before jumping out of the ship and crashing onto the Ark (I still lie awake in fear 343 gonna kill them off in a book)
All i EVER want is a Thel' vadam game, seeing his story as a fleet comander, playing as humanity's greatest threat, commanding his ships to glass worlds. and then have an extra campaign where you see his story as the leader of the swords of sangheili, space combat has SO MUCH POTENTIAL in the halo universe, some of my favorite starwars games are spaceship games, halo needs to do something with space combat and with the Arbiter
I'd love to see Ghosts of Onyx adapted into a game. Word for word, not like Reach where it follows a different Spartan team on the same day the book takes place.
Oh imagine a game based on the Spartan 3s. You could even exemplify the brutality of the very idea of 3s by having you play as a different Spartan in each level, since the old one died in the suicide mission
I would be a pretty big fan of an Arbiter-esque spin-off where it pretty much focuses on the campaign section of a standard Halo game, similar to H3:ODST, but you play as the key Arbiter(s) in the covenant, or a time-spanning game where you see the covenant growing and building power through the playable eyes of “The Arbiter” where you are playing through pretty much all of the historically-big Arbiters, ending the gameplay w/ Thel’s conversion to anti-covenant, but not exactly H2&3
Wars 2 was planned to also get a Promethean themed dlc where you would fight the Warden Eternal and a army of Knigths as well as many new Forerunner vehicles But it was canned
I will never stop championing the Halo ODST with a system similar to Brothers In Arms, multiple planet drops and with a darker more desperate atmosphere.
I know hackatons more as "do what you want" projects. Usually as a dev you get like two hours a week as free use time that you can use to do stuff you feel is important. So in case you have a project that is burning on all ends, you will have your two hours to do the very important change you proposed in the meeting. Then a hackaton would be a extension of that, where you get like one to three days to do something bigger you feel is very important to the company. For example, i did a small hackaton on my company creating some time tracking software for us so we dont have to manually write our timetables and dont have to pay for such a simple service - i mean we are a dev company lol.
I am surprised that you didn't mention that Halo (2011) scale model for the spartan is the Halo Legends armor model, which is basically what lead to Halo Infinite's style. I believe this game was a very early Halo story. Set during the times of that Halo legends episode set with young blue team. Also for Halo: Chronicles. There is some animation test footage from the game. It shows the marine teleporting around and beating someone up.
God, rewatching all the Halo Infinite cutscenes today was both so epic and so depressing. The campaign was so so good and I remember feeling so much hope from Cortana’s apology onwards. And then that post credits scene too. We were promised so much. And we got nothing. Utterly disappointing. I haven’t played the game since I finished the campaign since I’m a single player guy and as much as I want to hold out hope that something will come back…that candle is barely a flicker by now.
I'm just happy to see someone else who actually enjoyed the Halo Infinite campaign like I did. I've seen so many people constantly saying how bad of a campaign it was that I was starting to believe the entire Halo fandom hated Infinite's campaign.
The day we get a Halo strategy game focused on space battles (in the same way as battle fleet gothic armada or maybe even Homeworld) is the day I’ll die a happy man.
I would love a flood horror game, maybe not even the flood. The covenant was a absolutely terrifying force to go against in the early years of halo. Mysterious, lots of weapons that were as strange as they were unique with a plethora of unique aliens that's had quirks that made them different from any other alien. I would have loved to have seen the covenant use a alien species that actively hunted remenats of unfc personal in captured territory much like "Alien" something that is so predatory it was seen as useful. Like using dogs to hunt fox's or ferrets and small critters to hunt rabits. I think of something along the lines of Alien: isolation that would have been terrifying for any personnel left behind or "waiting" for pickup. I would love to hear your thoughts!
I kinda like the idea of Haggar. Sure, like you said, if it was just that and no other projects were being developed then I would agree with people getting upset at it. However, if it was released alongside other spin off games or during a high point for halo (the hype phase for infinite and the fixing of MCC comes to mind), then I could see a good chunk of people play the hell out of it, including me. But that's just my opinion.
I'm with you on this. But I agree it shouldn't be 343 putting time into it. Microsoft should approach the crowd that got it going and say to them "here's some coin, finish this and we'll go from there"
You've fallen for the same oversight Xperia has,Haggar was made by a different company entirely,the only thing 343 needed to do really was slap their name on the front of the CD case and promotional poster. So had they said yes,which is among the many failures of 343 that they said no,then everyone would have known that N Space was the main developing powerhouse behind it,meaning no one can get mad at 343 since 343 wasn't "wasting time"(which definitely wouldn't have been in the first place)with their limited resources.
@@NareshSinghOctagon People still would've gotten mad because a lot of Halo fans don't seem to understand how the behind the scenes of game design works.
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 ,considering that most would be able to read the company logos on the CD case or the listed devs on the Steam store page,along with the very likely fact that the trailer would've very much state who N Space was,even the dumbest of Halo players who might've gotten mad would get mad at N Space more then 343. Unless the thing(s) they were mad about were caused by 343 demanding a change to the original efforts of N Space.
@@NareshSinghOctagon People are still mad at 343i for the expensive shop in Infinite even though that was absolutely a Microsoft/stock holders decision and not a 343 one.
"There was only one man" "One? Are you sure?" "Yes. They called him.. Don Mattrick." "Why was he not destroyed with the rest of their projects!?" "He Fled. To his little greedy hole with his bonus, as he set fire to Ensemble Studios" All jokes aside we lost halo wars 1 dlc, I didn't know it existed, but I always needed it.
Another great video @HiddenXperia. I cant wait to find out what Tatanka is. There's a leak that the API mentioning it has been updated in Infinite suggesting it is in fact still coming and in Infinite as previously leaked. This implies that the UE5 rumor was either false or more likely them just prototyping ideas in UE5 most likelt to avoid further leaks or avoid breaking Infonite by mistake. You probably already heard about this one, but in case you hadnt I wanted to try to fill you in.
Awesome video, quite frustrating that Ensemble studios got shutdown the way it did. I still think Tatanka is being worked since Surasia on X mentioned there were something’s happening to it
ODST flood survival horror game using Halo 3/ODST assets, with fixed camera angles, and an RE4 style inventory. Working your way up from being a wounded ODST dropped out of a pelican due to turbulence when the flood arrived on Earth, with nothing but a combat knife, through rescuing civilians, making an elite friend, reuniting your squad, and escaping the city just before the shipmaster starts glassing it.
I'd love to see a soft or semi hardcore halo extraction shooter, where you as the player build up to be a Spartan or a banished brute going on missions for your factions in hot zones
I would honestly love a covenant spinoff game where you play as a San'Shyuum reformist on board the Anodyne Spirit leaving Janjur Qom to begin the Covenant empire.
Obviously I'd love to see a flood horror game, but one idea that I'd really love to see is a covenant story but not against heretics, but against humanity, playing as an elite against platoons of Marines and odsts, it's give u the same power trip as being a Spartan but a whole new gameplay take, even if it's not the whole game I've been dying for that to happen, aswell as a Spartan 3 based game centered around the books like divine wind and stuff, make it a stealth orientated game similar to metal gear with different targets you need to eliminate and stuff
Since halo was an idea for a DS I wouldn't mind a MCC port on the switch. It will be similar to the days where you take your entire xbox and TV to you friends house and play on system link, would be cool.
@@tTaseric to be fair if the MCC can run on the steam deck then it could probably work on the switch, but it would have to be a newer one like the switch OLED model.
I will always be upset that we didn’t get the Halo Wars 3 game with space battles. We need a Halo space combat RTS so bad. Hell you know what I want to see? A Halo RTS with the space battles done by Petroglyph or the guys who made Homeworld and the ground combat done in the style of Call to Arms but with the scale of a large Command and Conquer game, and the in-depth base building of Supreme Commander and/or Dawn of War. The largest scale battles would be like the original SupCom FA’s scale; these titanic wars across vast stretches of land. God, I’d pay out the nose for that kind of game.
Check out Sins of the Phrophets mod if you want what will probably be the greatest Halo Space RTS I prefer having the option for land battles still though :(
It makes me so sad hearing about what could have been. And I would have eaten up that megablox game as a kid, since my parents didn’t approve of the violence of halo but let me play Lego games I always used to wish Lego halo could exist
I always wanted Halo to be kinda like Star Wars Battlefront. 64 player teams, playable spartans, odsts, and marines. Then playable covenant too for the opposing team. I'm talking phantoms, banshees, hunters, grunts, and everything! Each map could be like a siege scenario. I'd love to run around as a grunt or be a pelican piolet dropping off my team at a LZ. My point being, Halo should focus on bringing that large scale campaign feel to multiplayer, and I think games like battlefield and battlefront would be a good format to try an implement into a future Halo game mode.
In a parallel universe halo releases yearly on evrey platform. Even releasing its own console. The Hbox with, Halonight, halocraft, halofduty, GTH, halocart, u go to the movies to see Harvel
If we got a spin off game i would love a game where you and up to three others play as rtas vad'dum and a team of spec ops hunting down the surviving prophets and thier remaining covenant troops as well as pratorians. It would have the halo 3 asthetic with dabs of infinite and would have the types of environments from halo 3 other than earth( personally my favorite halo asthetic of all time is the desert from the ark with classic forerunner architecture and waterfalls) but also forests, snow, and urban environments( particularly the urban architecture of the prophets.) That is my dream oh and once you complete the campaign you can unlock arcade mode where you can play as your customized halo 3 style elite.
Halo is literally the StarWars of video games. And it’s baffling how a universe so Rich never branched out into other types of game like Halo Wars. Smh.
i actually stumbled across halo starfighter while modeling the broadsword for a mod. was amazed and heartbroken of how this wasn't at least, put to the side for future development. i think if the kinda marketed it similar to starwars starfighter. a small game, low price, and high focus on air to air. itd be a hit
We need a Halo game from the Marines prospective, I'm thinking a squad based shooter that goes from the beginning of the war to the end of Halo 3 and sperate campaign that follows both halo wars, then there's be separate campaigns that follow Thel and one for Rtas.
Somewhere out there is the original prototype to Halo 2, where it ends at Halo 3's the Storm. Just as well, Halo 1 - HALO, the original sequel to Marathon.
13:00 maybe Tatanka *is* Max's passion project, after all it has been said that it has shifted direction and is turning into something more than just a simple Halo Battle Royale
Wow, I had only really known about Halo DS and the MMO, this was super informative. Lots of really interesting ideas and projects. I cannot believe how wild some of these ideas got, Halo Chronicles sounded INSANE.
Honestly, I'd be totally fine with the Mega Blox game getting made. It looks genuinely interesting and I like the difference in visual style compared to your usual Halo games. I'd love a spin-off based on any number of characters in the Halo universe and I loved Halo ODST, its probably my favorite game, but a spin-off that takes the the IP and puts it into a completely different genre or gameplay style just sounds more interesting to me (that's why Halo Wars was such a cool idea). A flood horror game is the only idea that I think would sound as a interesting for a spin-off as Haggar looks.
@18:10 @hiddenXperia this happened before! In the OG Xbox days Microsoft asked and they were laughed out by Nintendo at the meeting. For Phil it's his Magnum Opus acquisition. The dream that will probably not happen ,but would certainly make them very strong if Microsoft got team Mario.
Hey, just wanted to say. I appreciate that you put background video that at least somewhat applies to what you're talking about. Instead of just random gamplay. Good work. Well deserved like.
Lego Halo seems kinda fun in the same way that Lego Star Wars would be...but make the campaign hold up to 16 players and give it that goofy Lego humor. Would prefer actual halo games to release with it though cause waiting 3 years for Lego Halo is a kick in the balls
I would enjoy an Arbiter game based on what the Arbiter was doing during Halo 3. We know that in single player he wasn’t with us the whole time, so what was he doing on his own adventures before ending the game with Chief? For example, in the middle of “Crow’s Nest” he flies off in Miranda Keyes’ pelican, and then isn’t seen again until part way through “The Storm.” It would just be cool to explore those possibilities.
A game like Starfighter would be good from like the perspective of a unsc pilot, I’m gonna just spit out an idea, When the war just started a little boy lived happily eith his family in some human colony, when one day the war cam to their doorstep and the dad was drafted and had to leave his family. After a year or two a group of men knock on their houses door and give them the bad news that the dad died in combat, the little boy would begin growing a hatred towards the covenant. Many years later when the boy is now a teenager or adult, he is trying to enlist in the unsc marine corp when one day the covenant invades the planet, trying to glass it. The boy on his way home get attacked by a couple grunts and an elite on a ghost. Surprisingly, the boy is able to kill all the grunts and disorient the elite, somehow the boy is able to kill the elite and use the ghost to kill off the small force of covenant around the area of his home. But it was too late, the covenant had begun glassing the planet as the screen went black. It would cut to the boy waking up and looking for the rest of his family which he would eventually find dead, a couple of marines would find him and bring him to the ship they came in. Inside the lead scientist or whatever would be looking at footage from the invasion when he saw the boy killing an elite by himself, the scientist would show the recording to some high ranking official and the screen would cut to the boy deep in his emotions when the high ranking official would walk up to him and offer him a position in the unsc. The boy would accept, after a boot camp montage the boy would graduate and be a pilot. He would be sent to some ship where nothing would happen until he finally got his big break as they were sent into a highly dangerous warzone, he would deploy into real action for the first time and freeze in fear. After being shot by a covenant ship he would snap out of it and get to fighting. Beginning the game. This is a very rushed story and definitely needs refining but you probably understand the main plot of the story.
As much as i would love to see a flood horror game set during the outbreak of delta halo or even set in Voi during the outbreak on earth. I would personally rather see a flood horror game set during the forerunner flood war. Imagine having all the tools and might of the forerunners at your disposal, the feeling of power you would have. However, as the game progresses, you realise it's meaningless, you feel more and more vulnerable, the monitors/ai of the worlds start working against you, external comms decline, the feeling of isolation and terror sets in as the full might of the parisite bears down upon you.
Supposedly, some of the behind-the-scenes gameplay programming for the Halo MMO ended up in Star Wars: The Old Republic; I believe the cover system for the sniper and Gunslinger classes were specifically mentioned, but I can't find the article where I read that anymore...
@@michaelandreipalon359 TOR is generally pretty consistent with the themes and concepts presented in the KOTOR games if you actually pay attention. You can blame Drew Karpyshyn's awful Revan novel for most of the "desecration" and retcons and such. And yeah they definitely devalued the 2 KOTOR protagonists in TOR, but they make up an infinitesimal portion of what the game actually is, It'd be like disregarding the entire original Bungie Halo trilogy just because you didn't like how Lord Hood was written in Halo 3. (They also did kinda fix it with Echoes of Oblivion, if you played that far).
@@tTaseric Ehh, screw Karpyshyn's author avatar stuff. He should have left things as is with the Darth Bane trilogy of novels. I actually don't find anything wrong with Hood in H3, to be honest. Still, do note that TOR doesn't even matter much on the bigger picture of both Legends and Disney Canon, apart from some contentious mentions of bloody Vitiate in places like the brilliant Darth Plagueis novel for the former... would love to rewrite that book so erase the mention of that generic a**wipe.

I want to play a halo game based on Pvt. Jenkins during halo CE
Ensemble Studios definitely deserves so much better we only got half of their vision and it could have been even further than that it could have been so much better
Halo Starfighter with Ace Combat controls and being able to view from the cockpit would be a nice game to have. Give it multiplayer, forge, theater, and a long-ish campaign would be great.
Epic. Especially since Project Wingman and Star Wars Squadrons have come out. Could take some serious inspiration from those 2
Would have loved a Halo game that played like the OG Star Wars Battlefront, large ships and large teams going back and forth between fighting in space and fighting in the ships themselves. Would have been a great game or at least gamemode.
Ace combat controls were dog water. I prefer right stick roll/pitch and left stick yaw/throttle

There is some animation test footage from the game. It shows the marine teleporting around and beating someone up.
God, rewatching all the Halo Infinite cutscenes today was both so epic and so depressing. The campaign was so so good and I remember feeling so much hope from Cortana’s apology onwards. And then that post credits scene too. We were promised so much. And we got nothing. Utterly disappointing. I haven’t played the game since I finished the campaign since I’m a single player guy and as much as I want to hold out hope that something will come back…that candle is barely a flicker by now.
I'm just happy to see someone else who actually enjoyed the Halo Infinite campaign like I did. I've seen so many people constantly saying how bad of a campaign it was that I was starting to believe the entire Halo fandom hated Infinite's campaign.
The day we get a Halo strategy game focused on space battles (in the same way as battle fleet gothic armada or maybe even Homeworld) is the day I’ll die a happy man.
The MegaBloks game kinda looks fun… 😅
I would love a flood horror game, maybe not even the flood. The covenant was a absolutely terrifying force to go against in the early years of halo. Mysterious, lots of weapons that were as strange as they were unique with a plethora of unique aliens that's had quirks that made them different from any other alien. I would have loved to have seen the covenant use a alien species that actively hunted remenats of unfc personal in captured territory much like "Alien" something that is so predatory it was seen as useful. Like using dogs to hunt fox's or ferrets and small critters to hunt rabits. I think of something along the lines of Alien: isolation that would have been terrifying for any personnel left behind or "waiting" for pickup. I would love to hear your thoughts!
The Kat snipe was uncalled for dude.... too soon xD
I kinda like the idea of Haggar. Sure, like you said, if it was just that and no other projects were being developed then I would agree with people getting upset at it. However, if it was released alongside other spin off games or during a high point for halo (the hype phase for infinite and the fixing of MCC comes to mind), then I could see a good chunk of people play the hell out of it, including me. But that's just my opinion.
I'm with you on this. But I agree it shouldn't be 343 putting time into it. Microsoft should approach the crowd that got it going and say to them "here's some coin, finish this and we'll go from there"
You've fallen for the same oversight Xperia has,Haggar was made by a different company entirely,the only thing 343 needed to do really was slap their name on the front of the CD case and promotional poster.
So had they said yes,which is among the many failures of 343 that they said no,then everyone would have known that N Space was the main developing powerhouse behind it,meaning no one can get mad at 343 since 343 wasn't "wasting time"(which definitely wouldn't have been in the first place)with their limited resources.
@@NareshSinghOctagon People still would've gotten mad because a lot of Halo fans don't seem to understand how the behind the scenes of game design works.
@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 ,considering that most would be able to read the company logos on the CD case or the listed devs on the Steam store page,along with the very likely fact that the trailer would've very much state who N Space was,even the dumbest of Halo players who might've gotten mad would get mad at N Space more then 343.
Unless the thing(s) they were mad about were caused by 343 demanding a change to the original efforts of N Space.
@@NareshSinghOctagon People are still mad at 343i for the expensive shop in Infinite even though that was absolutely a Microsoft/stock holders decision and not a 343 one.
Man I remember when I first saw Haggar and I was so stoked because I loved making animations with the Halo Mega Bloks lol.
GIVE US BACK ENSEMBLE STUDIOS DAMNIT, I’m SO UPSET
OMG yesss I've always wanted a video about the cancelled Halo games from you
Seeing enemies just crumble in the megablox game is something else
I feel like a odst game during the fall of reach would do good
Nice vid big guy!
Some of these look like they could be pretty damn fun.
Bruh, Ensemble's Halo Wars 2 sounds like the game I thought it would be quite a few years ago.
Little dissapointing you didnt mention Sins of the Prophets in this video when talking about HW3. Its an absolutely fantastic Halo space RTS
Halo starfighter would been pretty cool game to make that should be a future project for next generation of consoles
"There was only one man"
"One? Are you sure?"
"Yes. They called him.. Don Mattrick."
"Why was he not destroyed with the rest of their projects!?"
"He Fled. To his little greedy hole with his bonus, as he set fire to Ensemble Studios"
All jokes aside we lost halo wars 1 dlc, I didn't know it existed, but I always needed it.
Another great video @HiddenXperia. I cant wait to find out what Tatanka is.
There's a leak that the API mentioning it has been updated in Infinite suggesting it is in fact still coming and in Infinite as previously leaked. This implies that the UE5 rumor was either false or more likely them just prototyping ideas in UE5 most likelt to avoid further leaks or avoid breaking Infonite by mistake.
You probably already heard about this one, but in case you hadnt I wanted to try to fill you in.
Awesome video, quite frustrating that Ensemble studios got shutdown the way it did. I still think Tatanka is being worked since Surasia on X mentioned there were something’s happening to it
ODST flood survival horror game using Halo 3/ODST assets, with fixed camera angles, and an RE4 style inventory. Working your way up from being a wounded ODST dropped out of a pelican due to turbulence when the flood arrived on Earth, with nothing but a combat knife, through rescuing civilians, making an elite friend, reuniting your squad, and escaping the city just before the shipmaster starts glassing it.
I have personally been wanting to make this for years, but can't find the time due to my job.
I could have sworn "Halo DS" just ended up being a mod for another game. Either Metroid or GoldenEye or something like that.
The most missed opportunity in the gaming world wasn't even a game for me but the canceled Halo movie from the district 9 guys, would've broke records
I'd love to see a soft or semi hardcore halo extraction shooter, where you as the player build up to be a Spartan or a banished brute going on missions for your factions in hot zones
I've got an idea, I think Halo Infinite : Tatanka might be the passion project he was talking about 13:12
I would honestly love a covenant spinoff game where you play as a San'Shyuum reformist on board the Anodyne Spirit leaving Janjur Qom to begin the Covenant empire.
Obviously I'd love to see a flood horror game, but one idea that I'd really love to see is a covenant story but not against heretics, but against humanity, playing as an elite against platoons of Marines and odsts, it's give u the same power trip as being a Spartan but a whole new gameplay take, even if it's not the whole game I've been dying for that to happen, aswell as a Spartan 3 based game centered around the books like divine wind and stuff, make it a stealth orientated game similar to metal gear with different targets you need to eliminate and stuff
Since halo was an idea for a DS I wouldn't mind a MCC port on the switch. It will be similar to the days where you take your entire xbox and TV to you friends house and play on system link, would be cool.
I highly doubt the Switch would be able to handle H2A.
@@tTaseric to be fair if the MCC can run on the steam deck then it could probably work on the switch, but it would have to be a newer one like the switch OLED model.
I wish I could go back in time so I could stop project titan from being shut down
Honestly, that chronicals one sounds batshit insane.
Would've loved if it was real though, cause it seems like the good kind of insane.
GREAT VIDEO!
I'd play chronicles because it's sounded amazing when I was a kid
Hopefully some of these ideas could come back in the future.
I will always be upset that we didn’t get the Halo Wars 3 game with space battles. We need a Halo space combat RTS so bad.
Hell you know what I want to see? A Halo RTS with the space battles done by Petroglyph or the guys who made Homeworld and the ground combat done in the style of Call to Arms but with the scale of a large Command and Conquer game, and the in-depth base building of Supreme Commander and/or Dawn of War. The largest scale battles would be like the original SupCom FA’s scale; these titanic wars across vast stretches of land.
God, I’d pay out the nose for that kind of game.
Check out Sins of the Phrophets mod if you want what will probably be the greatest Halo Space RTS
I prefer having the option for land battles still though :(
Ok but what about the Halo Mega Blocks game?
It makes me so sad hearing about what could have been. And I would have eaten up that megablox game as a kid, since my parents didn’t approve of the violence of halo but let me play Lego games I always used to wish Lego halo could exist
There is a Halo DVD Board Game...
I always wanted Halo to be kinda like Star Wars Battlefront. 64 player teams, playable spartans, odsts, and marines. Then playable covenant too for the opposing team. I'm talking phantoms, banshees, hunters, grunts, and everything! Each map could be like a siege scenario. I'd love to run around as a grunt or be a pelican piolet dropping off my team at a LZ. My point being, Halo should focus on bringing that large scale campaign feel to multiplayer, and I think games like battlefield and battlefront would be a good format to try an implement into a future Halo game mode.
In a parallel universe halo releases yearly on evrey platform. Even releasing its own console. The Hbox with, Halonight, halocraft, halofduty, GTH, halocart, u go to the movies to see Harvel
Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing the mega blocks Halo game being finished and released. It just looks fun.
If 343 announced a Halo spinoff and its a mega construx game, I would absolutely love and cherish it, as its exactly what Ive wanted since I was a kid
I would love hagger to be a thing. Better come with couch co op
There was also supposedly a cancelled Halo VR game called Halo Reverie
At this point I'll take anything experimental. Those always have a place in my heart.
I impulse bought Halo Wars 1 on Steam to replay on my deck because of this video. It’s also on sale for 5$
I’d love a spin-off game of Noble 6 before joining Noble Team, a spin off of a spin off if you will
The creative assembly game would be exactly what I’ve been wanting.
I want to play as a Forerunner fighting the Flood.
If we got a spin off game i would love a game where you and up to three others play as rtas vad'dum and a team of spec ops hunting down the surviving prophets and thier remaining covenant troops as well as pratorians.
It would have the halo 3 asthetic with dabs of infinite and would have the types of environments from halo 3 other than earth( personally my favorite halo asthetic of all time is the desert from the ark with classic forerunner architecture and waterfalls) but also forests, snow, and urban environments( particularly the urban architecture of the prophets.)
That is my dream oh and once you complete the campaign you can unlock arcade mode where you can play as your customized halo 3 style elite.
A scary flood game (and tv show or movie, along with Gears of War too) would be sweet. Another ODST game would be sweet too
That edit with Kat getting sniped 😭😂
Halo starfighter would be insane
Halo is literally the StarWars of video games. And it’s baffling how a universe so Rich never branched out into other types of game like Halo Wars. Smh.
That game about being the bullet sounds interesting
i actually stumbled across halo starfighter while modeling the broadsword for a mod. was amazed and heartbroken of how this wasn't at least, put to the side for future development. i think if the kinda marketed it similar to starwars starfighter. a small game, low price, and high focus on air to air. itd be a hit
We need a Halo game from the Marines prospective, I'm thinking a squad based shooter that goes from the beginning of the war to the end of Halo 3 and sperate campaign that follows both halo wars, then there's be separate campaigns that follow Thel and one for Rtas.
I always thought that the brutes in halo wars 1 were underutilized and barely used. I wish the DLCs weren't cancelled.
Somewhere out there is the original prototype to Halo 2, where it ends at Halo 3's the Storm. Just as well, Halo 1 - HALO, the original sequel to Marathon.
13:00 maybe Tatanka *is* Max's passion project, after all it has been said that it has shifted direction and is turning into something more than just a simple Halo Battle Royale
That Kat headshot jump scare got me😂
Wow, I had only really known about Halo DS and the MMO, this was super informative. Lots of really interesting ideas and projects.
I cannot believe how wild some of these ideas got, Halo Chronicles sounded INSANE.
Honestly, I'd be totally fine with the Mega Blox game getting made. It looks genuinely interesting and I like the difference in visual style compared to your usual Halo games. I'd love a spin-off based on any number of characters in the Halo universe and I loved Halo ODST, its probably my favorite game, but a spin-off that takes the the IP and puts it into a completely different genre or gameplay style just sounds more interesting to me (that's why Halo Wars was such a cool idea). A flood horror game is the only idea that I think would sound as a interesting for a spin-off as Haggar looks.
Could you imagine download play Halo on field trips, that would have been fire.
@18:10 @hiddenXperia this happened before! In the OG Xbox days Microsoft asked and they were laughed out by Nintendo at the meeting. For Phil it's his Magnum Opus acquisition. The dream that will probably not happen ,but would certainly make them very strong if Microsoft got team Mario.
Hey, just wanted to say. I appreciate that you put background video that at least somewhat applies to what you're talking about. Instead of just random gamplay. Good work. Well deserved like.
A halo version of Star Wars battlefront would be pretty dope
“I thought I’d repressed that” - lol that was so genuine
I’d love a mega bloks halo game
Wasn't Bungie originally planning on making a Halo 4? But instead they pivoted it to Halo Reach? I remember hearing that somewhere
I got to play halo ds on a jail broken ds in 08.
You needed a action replay or whatever the device was called.
Mad respect man love your long form videos keep it up.
Lego Halo seems kinda fun in the same way that Lego Star Wars would be...but make the campaign hold up to 16 players and give it that goofy Lego humor. Would prefer actual halo games to release with it though cause waiting 3 years for Lego Halo is a kick in the balls
These games would've have been perfect for breathing room in between development cycles of main line games.
I would enjoy an Arbiter game based on what the Arbiter was doing during Halo 3. We know that in single player he wasn’t with us the whole time, so what was he doing on his own adventures before ending the game with Chief? For example, in the middle of “Crow’s Nest” he flies off in Miranda Keyes’ pelican, and then isn’t seen again until part way through “The Storm.” It would just be cool to explore those possibilities.
A game like Starfighter would be good from like the perspective of a unsc pilot, I’m gonna just spit out an idea, When the war just started a little boy lived happily eith his family in some human colony, when one day the war cam to their doorstep and the dad was drafted and had to leave his family. After a year or two a group of men knock on their houses door and give them the bad news that the dad died in combat, the little boy would begin growing a hatred towards the covenant. Many years later when the boy is now a teenager or adult, he is trying to enlist in the unsc marine corp when one day the covenant invades the planet, trying to glass it. The boy on his way home get attacked by a couple grunts and an elite on a ghost. Surprisingly, the boy is able to kill all the grunts and disorient the elite, somehow the boy is able to kill the elite and use the ghost to kill off the small force of covenant around the area of his home. But it was too late, the covenant had begun glassing the planet as the screen went black. It would cut to the boy waking up and looking for the rest of his family which he would eventually find dead, a couple of marines would find him and bring him to the ship they came in. Inside the lead scientist or whatever would be looking at footage from the invasion when he saw the boy killing an elite by himself, the scientist would show the recording to some high ranking official and the screen would cut to the boy deep in his emotions when the high ranking official would walk up to him and offer him a position in the unsc. The boy would accept, after a boot camp montage the boy would graduate and be a pilot. He would be sent to some ship where nothing would happen until he finally got his big break as they were sent into a highly dangerous warzone, he would deploy into real action for the first time and freeze in fear. After being shot by a covenant ship he would snap out of it and get to fighting. Beginning the game. This is a very rushed story and definitely needs refining but you probably understand the main plot of the story.
The thought of what could have been…
That Masterchief in the thumbnail without the helmet on looks like a Serious Sam reject 😅
As much as i would love to see a flood horror game set during the outbreak of delta halo or even set in Voi during the outbreak on earth. I would personally rather see a flood horror game set during the forerunner flood war. Imagine having all the tools and might of the forerunners at your disposal, the feeling of power you would have. However, as the game progresses, you realise it's meaningless, you feel more and more vulnerable, the monitors/ai of the worlds start working against you, external comms decline, the feeling of isolation and terror sets in as the full might of the parisite bears down upon you.
Starfighter sounds nice but I want Star Wars Battlefront II in the halo universe
Supposedly, some of the behind-the-scenes gameplay programming for the Halo MMO ended up in Star Wars: The Old Republic; I believe the cover system for the sniper and Gunslinger classes were specifically mentioned, but I can't find the article where I read that anymore...
The cover system always seemed out of place in SWTOR, so it would definitely make sense if it came from another game.
Still happy that an MMO didn't happen. Besides, am not a huge fan of TOR for desecrating the value of KotOR I+II.
@@michaelandreipalon359 TOR is generally pretty consistent with the themes and concepts presented in the KOTOR games if you actually pay attention. You can blame Drew Karpyshyn's awful Revan novel for most of the "desecration" and retcons and such.
And yeah they definitely devalued the 2 KOTOR protagonists in TOR, but they make up an infinitesimal portion of what the game actually is, It'd be like disregarding the entire original Bungie Halo trilogy just because you didn't like how Lord Hood was written in Halo 3. (They also did kinda fix it with Echoes of Oblivion, if you played that far).
@@tTaseric Ehh, screw Karpyshyn's author avatar stuff. He should have left things as is with the Darth Bane trilogy of novels.
I actually don't find anything wrong with Hood in H3, to be honest. Still, do note that TOR doesn't even matter much on the bigger picture of both Legends and Disney Canon, apart from some contentious mentions of bloody Vitiate in places like the brilliant Darth Plagueis novel for the former... would love to rewrite that book so erase the mention of that generic a**wipe.
