Halo - Halo: Envoy Discussion Thread


Halo: Envoy Discussion Thread

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 07:14 AM PDT

Halo: Envoy releases today. Please direct all discussion here. Feel free to discuss the book without marking spoilers in this thread. However, our normal rules apply elsewhere in the sub: spoilers must be properly tagged.

From Amazon:

"It has been six years since the end of the Covenant War...and yet on the planet Carrow, a world on the edge of the Joint Occupation Zone, a decisive new battle suddenly erupts. Human colonists and the alien Sangheili have already been living a tension-filled co-existence in this place, with Unified Earth Government envoy Melody Azikiwe attempting to broker a lasting peace between their two species. But as civil war now engulfs the Sangheili settlers, Melody must act on an additional covert assignment courtesy of the Office of Naval Intelligence: find a way to free the SPARTAN-IIs known as Gray Team, held in stasis since the end of the war by a cunning Elite fleetmaster consumed with vengeance. And none can anticipate the ongoing violence leading to the discovery of an even greater, unstoppable threat—one hidden for eons below the surface of the planet…."

Praise Extermination!

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 06:22 PM PDT

I was taking a bit of a break from Halo 5, life sometimes pulls you by the turkey skin.

I sorta got back in the loop and tried Extermination, what can I say? This is more Breakout than Breakout ever was -- and I wanted Breakout to take off more than anything, don't get me wrong. Just never grew on me.

Don't shelve this game, 343i, whatever you do. It's the most fun in Social I've had to date.

Stuck the landing!

Hey everyone. I'm working on a WW1 trench map in Halo 5. Let me know what you think!

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 08:05 AM PDT

If the Halo 6 Campaign is crap, will you still stick with Halo?

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 09:07 PM PDT

Personally I would feel betrayed and likely be done with Halo.

After these years of constant "We're listening" statements from 343, if Halo 6 fails to tell even a remotely good story I'd be done with the series as it would tell me that no, they weren't listening, and probably never will.

I hope I'm wrong and Halo 6's story does learn from 5's mistakes because I don't want to hate Halo. But I also don't want to be apart of something I used to love that now ignores me and others like me. Even after giving them several chances and being fanboyishly forgiving.

Did Halo 5 have marines?

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 06:15 PM PDT

So I know you had Meridian's miners and whatnot, but I don't necessarily recall ever fighting alongside UNSC Marines in Halo 5. That was always something I loved, especially in CE. Anyone able to help me out? It's really bugging me

My opinion on why Black Team's death was poorly executed and how to create meaningful character deaths.

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 11:40 AM PDT

Killing characters off shouldn't be a matter of "hey who do we have to make character A look better?"

When a character is killed off it should benefit the story in a meaningful way. Perhaps the closure of a character's arc or a motivation for a character to go on a hero's journey. If a character is written to be killed off they should be written so from the beginning. If the characters weren't written to be killed off and now a story teller wants to, then set up the story where their death is meaningful. Logan and Force Awakens are prime examples of this.

The character(s) being killed off must also have their death be meaningful in a way only their deaths could make the impact. If you can say that a character's death could've easily been replaced, then it's not a good death. Back to Star Wars, Ben Kenobi's death in A New Hope was meaningful in a way only his death could've been.

Black Team had a slew of potential stories that could be told with them and their death eliminated those potential stories. Their deaths did not serve anything meaningful to the overall story, just to make the Didact look intimidating. It wasn't the closure for Black Team and it wasn't the motivation for Blue Team and the story never called for it.

It's a key example of how NOT to kill off characters.

Where can I find MCC Maps and gametypes?

Posted: 25 Apr 2017 06:18 PM PDT

Is there any way to find Halo 3 MCC maps and gametypes? I'm aware that there's no filebrowser and you have to manually go to peoples fileshares to get them, there's just no way to know who has them anymore. Is there an archive of them anywhere I can search though?
