GamePro - Is Halo to blame for the overall immaturity of online gaming? Kat and McKinley debate whether Halo ruined online multiplayer for everyone who doesn't like teabagging.
Halo will make its PS5 debut with a massively modernised remake of the original Xbox game, Combat Evolved.
That’s according to the Halo Leaks account on X (or Twitter), which has accurately outed information about the franchise in the past.
Replies(1)I expect this to be announced pretty soon. Can't wait, this game was awesome. I wonder how of a remake it'll be though, hopefully not a remaster because we already have that lol.
it will be running on unreal engine 5, so it will look good. The question is will it run as good as it looks
I think they teased it a few months back when they announced Halo studios. It does look quite incredible graphically but as Hennessy says above, how it runs is gonna be a different story given UE5 track record.
it would probably be like the gears of war reloaded. Which was a remake of the remaster of the original.
...this gen is getting confusing with so many re-whatevers.
@S2K: “ It needs to be a complete redo of graphics or else it’s not my cup of tea.”
I completely agree with you and would add a VR mode as well🥺
oh yeh, theres like a showcase soon, maybe they'll announce it there.
or at the game awards
but ue5 only looks pretty. the games run ..
abit weird.
It's being shown at the Halo World Championships which they had already announced a few weeks ago.
Better reboot than another re-touch (remake after an already remaster) .... but 343/Halo is incompetent now, so .... guess this is best they can do with help of Coalition
So much memories with halo.
The original Xbox was my first console (actually 64 but barely played) and the first game was halo. Me and my brother use to play coop almost everyday.
We eventually traded in for a PS2 because of kingdom hearts lol
I played the first 2 Halo games. That's Bungie's Halo.. I do not know whether 343's Halo is as good as Bungie's.
Either ways Halo is one of Microsoft's big franchises. So many rumours so it's becoming more likely it'll come to PS5
Halo 3 is Bungie's game... so is Reach and ODST. 4, 5 & 6 (Infinite) are 343's. They aren't bad... just different. The original trilogy story ended and should have finished there. But MS wanted to 'Star Wars' this franchise and came up with new stories that sort of just sit there.

Like last year we’ll be on the Main Stage to talk about it but this year we’ve also got a “deep dive” panel planned for the Community Stage that you won’t want to miss.
This Halo CE mod allows a new way to play co-op, but probably in the worst possible way.
This looks like cursed halo at its finest, love it. They need to bring mods to consoles.
A classic for and against article. The Mckinley guy seems lost in the past with his main argument being over online slurs among other players and himself. Party chat has all but done away with this. You can join the in-game chat if you want, its not the games fault. As much as people hate on Halo here, it has paved way for online shooters on consoles - Theater, Custom games, Machinima etc the list goes on.
"And even without the profanity, Halo's reintroduced a few things in multiplayer that I absolutely hate -- like teabagging, team killing, and general idiocy"
Deal with it. It's in nearly every Popular FPS & TPS online shooter. I'd hate to see him rage over the taunts in Uncharted's MP.
"Pelvic Thrust!"
I'd say Call of Duty ruined online multiplayer.
The mass market approach of games these days making games have much lower learning curves for MP (post-COD4 COD games is a great example) and low cost of entry for online games (used to be a PC only thing where the majority were adults with jobs and respect, not all of course) allows for kids to hop online in growing numbers and generally are kids not being parented well and you end up with kids saying some pretty horrible stuff.
I actually find Halo fun, sure it's generic, but it is still fun to go online with friends at your house. They were early on the bandwagon for emblem creation and regenerating health. Sure, some newfags made up teabagging, but what if, say on TF2 people started TeaBagging? Would TF2 ruin MP?
Well this is certainly a shit article
