    There’s so much potential for a Halo game that isn’t just a shooter.

    I think a survival horror game based around the Flood would be amazing- something Dead Space-y but Halo. That would be incredibly difficult to make, and it’s never going to happen, but it would be cool.

        Hell even a Bethesda scale RPG, set it in a city during the Human covenant war where you have to move around using utility areas kinda similar to the subways in Fallout 3. Just dont give it to Bethesda, I dont trust them not to fuck it up after Starfield.

      Yeah, the franchise has been on life support since Bungie left, they should have just licensed the IP to other studios.

        I don’t entirely agree with that- I enjoyed some of the 343 games. They’re not the same quality as the original trilogy, but I would describe all of them but Halo 5 as ‘good’. Not great or amazing, but good.

        I would love to see them license the IP out more, though, just so we could see more variety of games. I like Halo but “he kills all the aliens and doesnt afraid of anything” gets a bit old after the fifth time or so.

        The only other Halo games are Halo Wars- which personally I enjoyed a lot- and the Spartan Assault twinstick shooter games that I never played.

          As games sure, they were alright. But they werent Halo games. Its one of the best trilogies of all time and ODST and Reach were also great additons. I think 343 dropped the ball massively and at that point just licensing the IP could have yielded some good games too as it was already tarnished anyway.
