changing the artistic style (343 has done a lot of research on Asian art which influenced the armour designs, and they took some punk/techno references for the environments)

You know what the MC's armor should have looked like in Halo 4?
Exactly like it did when he got in the loving pod.
Seriously, how the forget did that happen.

The only gripe I have with it is the micro transactions, but it's a f2p so that's expected

[Alkatjo]

they fired marty o donnel. what made the halo music so distant was his musicality. now we just have the basic teenage BRRRRRRRRRRRZZZZZZZT inception kind of music and its just completely stupid.

what the forget why

what the forget why

No one knows, not even him.

[McJob]

what the forget why

He was dismissed without reason last year. Furthermore, Joe Staten (the main writer for the Halo series and probably previous Bungie games) left the company prior to O'Donnell being fired.

Actually, if I'm correct, Marty stuck with Bungie after they left Microsoft and Halo to make the music for Destiny and then Bungie fired him, not 343, Marty was never a part of 343

I could be wrong.

1) because nobody is going to pay good money ($60) or buy an entire console ($400) for a 8 year old game, let alone in russia.
2) a massive amount of people who want to play halo but not buy a xbox one would play this (or at the very least try it out before getting tired of micro transactions)

itt: they want to squeeze whatever profit they can from a small market by outsourcing one of their 8 year old games to a stuffty russian developer who only need to do the minimum amount of work possible to make a passable (or seemingly passible) game.

if it's ever going to be f2p in the us it's going to be exclusive to windows 10 and xbox 1.

i mean, the only way they can ruin halo 3 is by introducing blatant pay 2 win microtransactions, such as selling straight up stat boosts for guns. it's hard to forget up something as simple and as functional as halo 3

I never said anything about not porting it to pc or buying an xbox one for it, i was saying that since xbones architechture is similar to pcs, you already sort of have a basic direction from which to port it (even more so considering they got the engine to work on pc AND are using lots of the halo 3 assets). I just think its kind of stupid and a bit risky imo to release a game solely in a country where you have a very small market. It being f2p probably will help but to me it honestly doesnt make much sense. You're most definitely right about them trying to squeeze money tho since this reeks of pay2win

it's not risky when the entire game is made for you already, the potential losses are absurdly minute when all you have to do is make a new UI and hook up MS's azure servers.

and you don't understand that the entire point of halo being Xbox exclusive is to sell Xbox Ones. if they released a PC halo (for f2p no less) then the potential console buyers would just play that (or try it, discover it's stuff, and move on.) instead of buying the console for it. it would suck even more now since windows 10 is apparently going to be a free upgrade - this f2p halo won't even be able to sell windows 10 like halo 2 PC did with vista.

is it pay2win? there's got to be some kind of mechanism in the game to reel in profits.
