Excited for whats looking like a remake/reboot of the first Halo game but extremely sceptical over when it will launch and in what condition. Will it be missing a local co-op feature like Halo Infinite did? How long will we be waiting for this? Will we have to buy a next gen Xbox to play it? Will we get any new Halo content in the meantime? So its safe to assume that Halo Infinite isn't getting any substantial updates from here on out, so I just worry were going to be waiting 4+ years for this first Unreal Engine title while having nothing to keep interest peaked during all that time accept the content we've had since 2021.
Are you kidding about Halo not being a graphical showpiece?..I would have never bought the original Xbox if a friends didn't show me Halo, that game looked incredible for the era, especially the physics and all the on screen chaos. I go back to the old games and I'm still stunned at what they pulled off with that engine.
Yeah Halo 1-3 were incredible graphical showcases. No games looked nearly as good as 1-3 at launch. I remember me and my dad being blown away by how good Halo 2 looked when revealed. Halo 2 graphical engine was so advanced that it couldn’t run on the OG Xbox and it had to be retooled to work on it.
@@MIBxSpartan Exactly! Halo 1-3 were amazing from all Angles. Texture, Lighting, Sound Design. Halo Reach was awesome too particularly for all the Post Processing effects it used. When I wanted Reach on Xbox One X as part of MCC, it was to have the full Presentation seen in Full HD. But they stripped away all the Depth Of Field effects, all the Motion Blur when it came to MCC. Sooo stupid! But yaa. Halo was known for Being a Triple A Blockbuster from every facet of the game.
Pierre Hintz since last year has managed to salvage the sinking ship that Bonnie Ross served to him from her backside. Let's see if they can rebuild it now.
And I completely disagree, 1,000%. Halo was a RIDICULOUSLY graphical powerhouse. The graphics blew me away, the open world, the water, the music, Halo 1 was unbelievably beautiful and revolutionary at the time. And I think the graphics were always fantastic. Even Infinite had some incredibly good looking things, I wouldn't say it was Crysis level benchmarking for the games industry, but to me it was definitely up there.
You are correct for those who are old enough to be there for Halos launch each time even the spin offs pushed the boundaries of technology in a myriad of ways quite the ignorant take also "I don't know why they were called 343 industries?"-come on. 343 guilty spark was the perfect inspiration a caretaker of the Halo...also he was enemy and friend to The Master Chief hm kinda perfect that the studio named itself so? Don't ya think?😂
@@pinguman13 yeah man, I was a PS guy, and I went to GameStop, or actually I think it was called Electronics Boutique at the time. I saw Halo on the display/demo, played it, and I was BLOWN AWAY. I had to have one, and got one for Christmas right afterwards. And I've been an Xbox guy every since, it's unfortunate that it's been pretty rough in recent years outside of Game Pass 😢. Thankfully I have PS and a PC lol
"They were called 343 maybe as a reference to something." Tell me you didn't play the Halo campaigns without telling me you didnt play the Halo campaigns.😂
@GhostRydr1172 no he was dead serious and saying Halo was not a graphical showcase is just wrong Google titles from 01 and do some quick side by sides of other fps or even adventure games that level of fidelity in a semi open world was unheard of and it had legendary gameplay
The fact that the staff look happy. They’re enjoying what they’re doing, which means the product will be more enjoyable because there’s more care gone into it.
remember hype makes you stupid, it all looks awesome but they haven’t delivered, just given us some wallpapers. But I think Halo can absolutely have a bright future.
@@Kneefill I can still be hyped for the future of halo. I'd rather look at the positive instead of being negative and I liked the halo infinite campaign.
1. How does Destin not know what 343 is in reference to 2. Halo WAS a benchmark for graphics. Go look at Halo Combat Evolved and how good it looked compared to the market at the time. And go look at Halo 3 right now. It blows some of these new games out of the water still to this day
@@Sheen334 He's making a video about 343, (I would think) preparing beforehand. He says he was a Halo fan (made Halo video before joining IGN). He was an avid Destiny player (with Destiny segment on IGN), a game made by Bungie, where the characters have "ghosts" (Destiny's version of 343 Guilty Spark). None of that jogs his memory?
Never forget the Halo Infinite 2018 reveal trailer. Slip space engine looked on par or better than UE5 in THAT trailer. But they didn't deliver that at all. I'll refrain from any excitement.
I recall being in awe when driving out of that first tunnel in the Hog. It has been forever, times have changes obviously. But little spots here and there within Combat Evolved, I do remember feeling like a graphical showcase for that time.
Cracks me up how they go on about how important it is to have a singular focus, while also saying they have multiple Halo projects in the works. I have zero faith and can only wonder what studio name they'll pick next
343, Guilty of killing Halo's Spark, We were forced to make an Abject Testament. But 343 had Enduring Bias to their own Ebullient Prism. Alas they became a Shamed Instrument. For we were once Exuberant but now Contrite Witnesses. They thus placed themselves in Tragic Solitude. To make Static their Carillion. And finally Harken Watch to our grievances. Now the studio is on a Penitent Tanget. And made an abashed Eulogy. by placing 343i on the Despondend Pyre. Long Live Halo Studios
I am glad that multiple projects are in development. I just hope they are branching out in genres. Games I'd like to eventually see in the Halo universe: - The cancelled Mega Blocks game brought back - A Splinter Cell-esque espionage/stealth game where you play as an ONI agent during the Insurrectionist War/Start of the Coveneant War - A flight combat game - Third-Person co-op shooter where you play as Gray Team (or 4-person with Black Team) - Warzone 2.0. Elevate Warzone from Halo 5 to a new level with 64 player PvPvE with score based winning conditions. Get kills or complete objectives vs players and AI enemies. Add in some BR mechanics, but don't go full BR. Have revive system, but if whole team is wiped the team is eliminated (similar to Attrition mode in Infinite). - Some type of game where you play as an Elite during the Civil War on the Elite home world. - More Halo Wars titles - Contact Harvest game during the initial days of the Covenant War - A Forerunner vs Ancient Human game (origin of the Flood) title - I'd like to see a Mario Party or Mario Kart type game. There are tons of fun party game modes in old Action Sack playlists that would work perfectly in a party game. I think a Kart game would work perfectly well too - I have a curiosity re: city builders in the Halo universe. I'd be in a minority here, but I would love to see one of these. Build a city from a plot of dirt into a UNSC stronghold and manufacturing powerhouse to help turn the war. Design city and planetary defenses to fight off Covenant invaders. idk if it would really work. But I want to play it anyway. - A new ODST game or a Headhunters game where you go behind enemy lines. - A survival game where you are a civilian and have to evade Covenant forces to make it to an evac (can do some scary shit with invis Elites) - Last, but not least, a Flood horror game
I'm excited and hopeful too guys but remember - we haven't actually seen any substantial change. Only loads of potential that could very well wind up squandered.
Like I said under Halo Studios video " A New Dawn " There are 2 things these lovely guys can do to improve the upcoming Halo 1. Make the next Halo game Console exclusive ( Xbox Series S/X and Xbox Series X 2) (( Lemme go into more detail here : This game being on console only will ensure tha everybody is on Xbox using a Controller and NO CHEATS ) 2. Hire me as playtester Please upvote this comment and mention me to Halo Studios if you can. Thank You.
Can’t wait for the modern take on Cortana. The chiseled jaw of Henry Cavil, nose ring, chest as flat as a 2x4, universal girl boss haircut shaved on the side and slicked back. Strong, independent don’t need no Chief!
"Please just be good game, first and foremost" - is the only message to the Halo Studios from every Halo player/gamer who still gives a damn about this franchise
343 was a reference to "343 guilty spark" from the original halo trilogy, also seeing as how 343 was originally comprised mostly of ex bungie it made sense as a studio because bungie used to have an odd thing for the number 7 and 7×7×7=343. Just figured I'd just clarify seeing as how Destin didn't seem to get the reference.
So no more building an engine and making a game simultaneously, this is definitely promising. Depends on who’s still there but a remake of the first game using the assets we just saw has me hyped beyond belief. Do it
343 was a reference to 343 Guilty Spark. A character who was pretty much a caretaker for the Halo rings. I do like 343 better I feel like Halo Studios is kind of generic but as far as the move to unreal engine 5 it can only mean great things for the franchise. Slipspace was such a detriment to infinite. Infinite looked great but adding features to the game was a painful process because the engine was still just the old blam engine that bungie had used for the past 3 halo games. 343/Halo Studios has no more excuses anymore we should be getting great Halo games from this point moving forward.
This makes me think that the decision making on Halo Infinite were sorely missed by not going to the Unreal Engine earlier. Widely used within the industry. Shorter dev cycle plus reusable assets. No brainer at the end of the day. They have my attention now. I’m glad to see that something that was just talk or speculation is now a reality.
Graphics, soundtrack, enemy A.I. and FPS gameplay on controller have been Halo's strengths. Would like to see some more spin-offs that explore the Covenant and the Flood. Imagine 1 vs. 100 but... - 1 Master Chief vs. 100 grunts - 1 Master Chief vs. 100 jackals etc.
Here microsoft....leave infinite where it is. Go back in time tell a story about blue team. Open with a mission as chief, introduce the team through the mission, and after that open all 4 characters to be playable. Make it 4 player coop, don't make the characters insufferable, make the covenant the big bad, and include Cortina. Focus on a solid story, tight gameplay, and above all else make it fun. Make players wants the top priority. Make fans happy and you will make money
at 9:55 , the Master Chief model is basically the Halo infinite version ported to UE, you can check on Mark VII core, Armor kit and it's the last one. Not to devalue the work, but nothing new Art wise on the model, UE version def need some materials/shader work, can't wait to see more
When I saw halo 4's explosions I was laughing at how horrible it looked nothing compared to what original Bungie pulled off with their games, insane how good they made it.
Halo is an underused IP. Two games came out for the original Xbox, four for the 360, and then it looks like we're getting one in each of the next two gens. That's not counting the Halo Wars spin-offs and other smaller spinoff games. Are they all perfectly great? No. But I think we need to see some experimentation and some smaller focused efforts throughout video games. Today we see some game franchises skipping entire generations. I'm not saying developers should rush, but there is so much fear of experimenting and publishing great smaller games that you just end up getting nothing. Or what happens is an eight-year gap is not an eight-year dev cycle but likely a few restarts, back-to-the-drawing-boards, and finally a last gasp push to throw whatever out there and pray. It's not working.
I just find it odd that they decided to basically dedicate themselves 100% to halo. It'd be like naughty doug changing their name to "the last of us studios".
I really think you all are getting way too excited for this way too soon. It’s a good sign but we have no idea if this actually will change things yet.
They changed the name of the studio, but it's the same people running it and working there? Did we all just forget that fans of halo have been begging for a different studio to take over for years? Lol I don't think changing the name is quite what these people were asking for...
This will help on board all those temp workers they employ, though unreal 5 doesn't help them write a good story. I'm cautiously optimistic on this change
All I have to say is... darks better be dark. Lights better not be blinding. Dynamic environment Dynamic environment Dynamic environment. I cant say it enough... Its ok I cant see every detail when its dark with out a flash light. ITs not ok to require sunglasses with out programming sunglasses in. Haven't had Dynamic environment feel sense OG Halo and Halo 2. Halo 3 is where it started being 'everything bright'. Mood lighting. The mood should be reflected in the light in the room.
Maybe halo games will take less time to develop now. What about all the reports that 343 wasn’t hiring ex-bungie developers? Does that change because their name changed? A halo CE remake really needs to nail it, original developers would help a lot to achieve that goal.
So, a Halo survival action game with a Dead Space vibe and style finally seems possible. Too bad the full potential of Halo Infinite will never be realized. No more story content being put into that open world is just a waste.
Destin: Halo will never be the same again. Me: Correct, it will be better. Personally I’m excited by these changes. If the new video by Halo Studios is anything to go by, Halo is going to look amazing in Unteal Engine 5.
I'm hoping this opens up for them to try different genres of games using the Halo IP, I'd kill for a Ghost Recon WIldands style Halo game where we get to play as ODSTs or Spartan 3s dropped onto a colony world as the Covenant invades. I would of course want them to keep pushing the expected Halo fare like the fps multiplayer stuff but I see no reason why they shouldn't try to branch out. There is a ton of really good lore in the books and the easter eggs that makes for some incredible world building.
A new name, moving to UE5. If they make a good Halo game I will be happy, if they do not I will continue to think that 343, or Halo studios, should not be handling Halo.
Hopefully they don’t have temp workers making this game and actually have full time employees making the next game, they tried that with the crapspace engine and failed spectacularly.
I’m happy that Halo is finally going to have unreal engine five and that we are going to see some premium next GEN graphics. I hope that the team is working on modernising the design of the halo weapons so they don’t look to 1999. That’s what I love about destiny 2 is that their weapons are very futuristic and modern. I would like to see Halo modernise every weapon design and make it look not retro. I’m not here to have a retro experience. I’m here to play the next GEN halo.. just like the Star Trek movies when they brought it back, they modernise the graphics the ships aesthetics and made it look modern.
Games and studios have to reduce the cost of development and changes like this can help...big projects need to be more efficent -- tool set and AI will help
It's great that the engine will not get int the way anymore, but there are still a lot that must go into a Halo game for it to feel authentic. And I'm not confident that Microsoft can deliver it. Specially if they're talking about a remake. I guess what I really mean is I'll believe when I see it.

Exactly! Halo 1-3 were amazing from all Angles. Texture, Lighting, Sound Design.
Halo Reach was awesome too particularly for all the Post Processing effects it used.
When I wanted Reach on Xbox One X as part of MCC, it was to have the full Presentation seen in Full HD.
But they stripped away all the Depth Of Field effects, all the Motion Blur when it came to MCC. Sooo stupid!

343i is a reference to 343 Guilty Spark from Halo
No way!?! I already knew* but no way it's almost like they referred to a part of the game of halo!
You mean the character who betrayed John Halo?!?! What could it mean?

To be fair, it's a PR video.
If they’re getting paid they could care less
I mean…. You think they would publish that with people looking miserable/depressed?
Halos use of contractors will make it so it never gets the soul back. It needs to hire long term employees who will worl on it for decades to come.
Wait. Is Destin serious about not knowing what 343 is a reference to?

It’s amusing how often people conflate good art direction with graphical fidelity.
Im actually pretty excited to try 3rd person
Me too! Looks interesting.
Come on, you've been around long enough to know that the original Halo was a graphical showpiece for the OG xbox.
That helmet is from Halo 1. That's why you think it looks different . The side of the helmet came back farther in the original
Never forget the Halo Infinite 2018 reveal trailer. Slip space engine looked on par or better than UE5 in THAT trailer. But they didn't deliver that at all. I'll refrain from any excitement.
Precisely why i wait for a game to be playable for judgment.
That initial reveal trailer was absolutely terrible!
No it looked weaker than this
@@shayanali8771 2018, not 2020. As for whether that one could compete with UE5, that's debatable.
He’s not talking about the campaign showcase, he’s talking about the slipspace engine demo. You can’t say it looked bad, it was glorious.
I hope this is the start of Microsoft forcing their studios to use modern engines. Starfield should be the last BGS game developed on Creation Engine
Modern engines for Modern Audiences lol this industry is doomed.
I recall being in awe when driving out of that first tunnel in the Hog. It has been forever, times have changes obviously. But little spots here and there within Combat Evolved, I do remember feeling like a graphical showcase for that time.
Now that the dust has settled a little, im cautiously optimistic, but they're heading in the right direction 👍
About time Halo is getting a proper update.
Halo hasn't been the same since 343i took over.
And NO it will NEVER go back.
not knowing about 343 guilty spark is kind of insane
I thought he was joking when he said he didn't know why it was called 343... wow. I'm a casual Halo fan and I know this.
You can't trust Halo Studios if their hasn't been any staff changes.
Slipspace was cool and ran well, now it’s going to turn into a laggy, blurry Unreal Engine mess. I’m worried about it
Halo needs to change to be relevant again. About time they said goodbye to 343
Some recent rebrands
Dunkin Donuts ➡️ Dunkin’
Facebook ➡️ META
Twitter ➡️ X
and now 343 ➡️ HALO Studios. X should’ve stayed as Twitter 😭
Halo Infinite looked kinda flat. So this is exciting.
They have a lot to prove. I am bearish on them.
Happy for this new chapter of Halo
3:57 It's a reference to 343 Guilty Spark
Cracks me up how they go on about how important it is to have a singular focus, while also saying they have multiple Halo projects in the works. I have zero faith and can only wonder what studio name they'll pick next
For Destin not to know the origin of 343 and not know Halo CE was a graphical showpiece for its time is very telling...
Do you know anything about Halo?

We were forced to make an Abject Testament.
But 343 had Enduring Bias to their own Ebullient Prism.

The first Halo was very graphically good for it's time. That's probably what they were referring to.
Is it just me who eagerly awaits the sub plug in each video? 😅 Love it!
RIP 343
Halo studios will bring a return to greatness with a new chapter
I am glad that multiple projects are in development. I just hope they are branching out in genres. Games I'd like to eventually see in the Halo universe:
- The cancelled Mega Blocks game brought back
- A Splinter Cell-esque espionage/stealth game where you play as an ONI agent during the Insurrectionist War/Start of the Coveneant War
- A flight combat game
- Third-Person co-op shooter where you play as Gray Team (or 4-person with Black Team)
- Warzone 2.0. Elevate Warzone from Halo 5 to a new level with 64 player PvPvE with score based winning conditions. Get kills or complete objectives vs players and AI enemies. Add in some BR mechanics, but don't go full BR. Have revive system, but if whole team is wiped the team is eliminated (similar to Attrition mode in Infinite).
- Some type of game where you play as an Elite during the Civil War on the Elite home world.
- More Halo Wars titles
- Contact Harvest game during the initial days of the Covenant War
- A Forerunner vs Ancient Human game (origin of the Flood) title
- I'd like to see a Mario Party or Mario Kart type game. There are tons of fun party game modes in old Action Sack playlists that would work perfectly in a party game. I think a Kart game would work perfectly well too
- I have a curiosity re: city builders in the Halo universe. I'd be in a minority here, but I would love to see one of these. Build a city from a plot of dirt into a UNSC stronghold and manufacturing powerhouse to help turn the war. Design city and planetary defenses to fight off Covenant invaders. idk if it would really work. But I want to play it anyway.
- A new ODST game or a Headhunters game where you go behind enemy lines.
- A survival game where you are a civilian and have to evade Covenant forces to make it to an evac (can do some scary shit with invis Elites)
- Last, but not least, a Flood horror game
The helmet looks different if you've not seen an image of Halo 1 Chief in a long time. It's literally just a modern model of the CE armor.
I'm excited and hopeful too guys but remember - we haven't actually seen any substantial change. Only loads of potential that could very well wind up squandered.
I'm just happy to see they finally remembered that the Flood exists.
Like I said under Halo Studios video " A New Dawn "
There are 2 things these lovely guys can do to improve the upcoming Halo
1. Make the next Halo game Console exclusive ( Xbox Series S/X and Xbox Series X 2)

Infinite looked great but adding features to the game was a painful process because the engine was still just the old blam engine that bungie had used for the past 3 halo games. 343/Halo Studios has no more excuses anymore we should be getting great Halo games from this point moving forward.
This makes me think that the decision making on Halo Infinite were sorely missed by not going to the Unreal Engine earlier. Widely used within the industry. Shorter dev cycle plus reusable assets. No brainer at the end of the day. They have my attention now. I’m glad to see that something that was just talk or speculation is now a reality.
Was waiting for your thoughts on this!
Graphics, soundtrack, enemy A.I. and FPS gameplay on controller have been Halo's strengths.
Would like to see some more spin-offs that explore the Covenant and the Flood.
Imagine 1 vs. 100 but...
- 1 Master Chief vs. 100 grunts
- 1 Master Chief vs. 100 jackals etc.
All I'm saying about this is:
The fact that Microsoft kept 343 while shutting down a bunch of real capable studios is... peculiar to say the least.
I think halo absolutely led in graphics back in the day
Here microsoft....leave infinite where it is. Go back in time tell a story about blue team. Open with a mission as chief, introduce the team through the mission, and after that open all 4 characters to be playable. Make it 4 player coop, don't make the characters insufferable, make the covenant the big bad, and include Cortina. Focus on a solid story, tight gameplay, and above all else make it fun. Make players wants the top priority. Make fans happy and you will make money
Incoming halo golden age 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
Halos golden age already passed son
@@IcyPolarBear369 I know but it can still come back lol
at 9:55 , the Master Chief model is basically the Halo infinite version ported to UE, you can check on Mark VII core, Armor kit and it's the last one. Not to devalue the work, but nothing new Art wise on the model, UE version def need some materials/shader work, can't wait to see more
Graphics aren't an issue now. It's the story writing/gameplay and potential agendas they'll be pushing.
When I saw halo 4's explosions I was laughing at how horrible it looked nothing compared to what original Bungie pulled off with their games, insane how good they made it.
When you said you don't know where they got the name 343 from. If you are a Halo fan how do you not know 343 Guilty Spark.
Do these changes include hiring practices, which was a big part of why 343 struggled getting Halo Infinite to market in any decent state?
Halo is an underused IP. Two games came out for the original Xbox, four for the 360, and then it looks like we're getting one in each of the next two gens. That's not counting the Halo Wars spin-offs and other smaller spinoff games. Are they all perfectly great? No. But I think we need to see some experimentation and some smaller focused efforts throughout video games.
Today we see some game franchises skipping entire generations. I'm not saying developers should rush, but there is so much fear of experimenting and publishing great smaller games that you just end up getting nothing. Or what happens is an eight-year gap is not an eight-year dev cycle but likely a few restarts, back-to-the-drawing-boards, and finally a last gasp push to throw whatever out there and pray. It's not working.
I just find it odd that they decided to basically dedicate themselves 100% to halo. It'd be like naughty doug changing their name to "the last of us studios".
343 guilty spark, the floating monitor of the Halo installation.
I really think you all are getting way too excited for this way too soon.
It’s a good sign but we have no idea if this actually will change things yet.
They changed the name of the studio, but it's the same people running it and working there?
Did we all just forget that fans of halo have been begging for a different studio to take over for years?
Lol I don't think changing the name is quite what these people were asking for...
This will help on board all those temp workers they employ, though unreal 5 doesn't help them write a good story. I'm cautiously optimistic on this change
Unreal 5 for a shooter? OMG... that won't turn out well
343 shouldn't be working on halo anymore how many more times can they release a turd before Halo is completely cooked
As long as Craig lives on, we shall always have Halo!
The helmet is from Halo CE btw
Halo should remain on Xbox and NOT come to the PS5. Halo, Gears of War, and Forza are the Xbox Mascot franchises. These should stay exclusive.
Wasnt there a mention in the Halo championship reveal where they could be porting Halo MCC into UE5?
All I have to say is... darks better be dark. Lights better not be blinding. Dynamic environment Dynamic environment Dynamic environment. I cant say it enough... Its ok I cant see every detail when its dark with out a flash light. ITs not ok to require sunglasses with out programming sunglasses in. Haven't had Dynamic environment feel sense OG Halo and Halo 2. Halo 3 is where it started being 'everything bright'. Mood lighting. The mood should be reflected in the light in the room.
Halo Wars 3 please 🙏
Halo is the mascot of Xbox and in my opinion it should never come to PlayStation
I think the graphical prestige probably refers to halo 1-3
I think the Coalition needs the same treatment
Maybe halo games will take less time to develop now. What about all the reports that 343 wasn’t hiring ex-bungie developers? Does that change because their name changed? A halo CE remake really needs to nail it, original developers would help a lot to achieve that goal.
Tomato, tomato....343 always was a Halo only studio
So, a Halo survival action game with a Dead Space vibe and style finally seems possible. Too bad the full potential of Halo Infinite will never be realized. No more story content being put into that open world is just a waste.
Destin: Halo will never be the same again.
Me: Correct, it will be better.
Personally I’m excited by these changes. If the new video by Halo Studios is anything to go by, Halo is going to look amazing in Unteal Engine 5.
I'm hoping this opens up for them to try different genres of games using the Halo IP, I'd kill for a Ghost Recon WIldands style Halo game where we get to play as ODSTs or Spartan 3s dropped onto a colony world as the Covenant invades. I would of course want them to keep pushing the expected Halo fare like the fps multiplayer stuff but I see no reason why they shouldn't try to branch out. There is a ton of really good lore in the books and the easter eggs that makes for some incredible world building.
Hey does anyone know why they were called 343 studios…?
A new name, moving to UE5.
If they make a good Halo game I will be happy, if they do not I will continue to think that 343, or Halo studios, should not be handling Halo.
Hopefully they don’t have temp workers making this game and actually have full time employees making the next game, they tried that with the crapspace engine and failed spectacularly.
It's very Xbox thinking... to be obsessed with power and graphics.
I’m happy that Halo is finally going to have unreal engine five and that we are going to see some premium next GEN graphics. I hope that the team is working on modernising the design of the halo weapons so they don’t look to 1999. That’s what I love about destiny 2 is that their weapons are very futuristic and modern. I would like to see Halo modernise every weapon design and make it look not retro. I’m not here to have a retro experience. I’m here to play the next GEN halo.. just like the Star Trek movies when they brought it back, they modernise the graphics the ships aesthetics and made it look modern.
Games and studios have to reduce the cost of development and changes like this can help...big projects need to be more efficent -- tool set and AI will help
It's great that the engine will not get int the way anymore, but there are still a lot that must go into a Halo game for it to feel authentic. And I'm not confident that Microsoft can deliver it. Specially if they're talking about a remake. I guess what I really mean is I'll believe when I see it.
I assume 343 was named after guilty spark
