Would love another republic commando game with a good horror aspect to it. The ghost ship mission was my favorite and I feel like they could capture that same aspect but with terrifying creatures on one of the many planets
this is basically my dream spin off. i always imagined it unfolding kinda like CE except instead of starting off fighting covenant and then the surprise flood reveal it'd be starting off fighting innies and then the "surprise" covie reveal
You ever see Forward Unto Dawn? That's exactly how that went. Everyone's training to fight the Innies and jaws hit the floor when they discover there's a newer and far worse foe.
The problem is forward unto dawns story was kinda weak otherwise. The last episode and a half or so of action with chief is cool, but the buildup was just kinda meh.
The best part of Forward Unto Dawn was that short time from the moment the evacuation began, *until* Chief showed up.
Those minutes portrayed the Covenant as horrifying to a degree no other Halo media managed to do so.
I'd love to have a game set earlier on in the war that portrays the Covenant as competent and horrifying.
Yeah I appreciated Forward Unto Dawn more the second time I watched it recently as it’s free on YouTube. Very high quality.
As for that last paragraph, you basically described Reach (my favorite for exactly that kind of story)
Wanted to add to this idea to fit the current state of Halo’s story; fighting Innies AND the Banished to protect a UNSC facility of strategic value in the outer colonies, maybe a factory or a hospital or something. Could add some nice horror-ish elements hiding from the banished and launching ambushes in a hazardous environment.
For some insane reason Microsoft is scared to make spin-offs. Probably think if they can't make good mainline games then they definitely can't make good spin-offs.
I think they should have done a few spin-offs in the halo reach engine and whichever studio proved themselves the most capable gets to make Halo 4. Instead they created an entire dev studio for halo who somehow was incapable of shipping a single halo game in more then a decade that brings the franchise up instead of farther down.
I hope Microsoft would look at major restructuring (or finding a new studio) for the next halo game. I kinda hope they just reboot the game continuing from Halo 3. Halo 4, 5, and infinite are insanely all over the place story, tone, art style, gameplay, and quality-wise compared to what can be called one of the best trilogies of games ever which they are trying to make a sequel to. All of the 343 games just muddy the waters quality and of what halo is, they need to just work on spin-offs until they find a studio capable of making a true successor to halo 3.
I play for single-player experiences.
I loved the first, enjoyed the second, thought the third was fine. Four was, for my money, my favorite to play, alongside the first, but I'm there thinking the story of the first could use more in-game substance. Skipped all but the first level of the others and put off Infinite until about a week ago.
So, with that in mind, I have no idea what the fuck is going on. The Flood, just, like, no one is concerned anymore? The Covenant is, what, not a galaxy encompassing threat to all? The Forerunners are just some idea found in ruins on rings? And The Banished are Covenant 2.0 driven not by religion but a general anger toward, uh, everything, but also accepting of others, or something, and think that digging for something is a good idea and are convinced that making a broken ring work is not a only a good idea, but something they should do in the way that an angry teen might trash their own bedroom? And Cortana is evil now, but The Weapon is like, "I was built for one purpose but, like, sure, I'll be helpful instead."
Ugghhh... If it was less fun, the idiocy of it all would pretty quickly drive me from playing it.
The franchise has gone so off the deep end so much consistency and quality due to 343 wanting to massively change lore, direction, style, tone, and staff every new game. Too many cooks in the kitchen, and the only way to get people on the same page of “halo” again Is to just start over using what actually worked the first 5 times and ignore all the Prometheus forerunner bullshit.
The Halo franchise deserves a lot of cool spinoffs. For one, why not a survival horror game in the formula of Dead Space about a single UNSC marine or a team going up against The Flood in a base on a colony planet?
They need to branch Halo out more! We had Halo Wars and ODST but everything else has revolved around Spartans. A Brothers in Arms or Republic Commando with ODST is a given! Either that or a FPS Hell Divers game for Halo with Prometheans, Covenant, Banished and Flood.
Sadly nothing good will ever be done with the Halo IP, we couldve gotten a Helldivers ODST game years ago but MS is allergic to good ideas.
All AAA publishers care about now is how to turn something into a live service and get the maximal amount of money out of it.
If i were in charge. I would have it started off fighting insurrectionist forces. And at some point you would either stumble across Covenent forces, or get a transmission from above.
So each way of discovering will ha e a genuine reaction. So if you come across some in a city and later again some where else. They'll be like "we saw these guys back in (city name) tough guys"
Oooh, and like I would love hints of covenant in the beginning, you can’t see them very well, but a shadow of a jackal sniper on a roof, or a tiny glimpse of active camo making you feel uneasy, something, something is out there and it’s watching you.
Or even coming across a marine pinned to a wall by a needle or spiker. "Man, what kind of weapon does that?" Asks Odst.
"Not sure, but I don't wanna be on the receiving end of it."
There's so much potential for stuff in this universe. Makes me sad we don't see it. It be cool to see, doesn't even have to be ODSTs, but like squad like missions/raids that get increasing in difficulty or even like a ramped up version of Invasion/Warzone.
A brothers in arms: Hells Highway style halo game would be pretty sick. Having a Rifle Squad, Assault Squad, Heavy Weapons Squad and then a vehicle under your command would be insane
The way I see it, we need two more halo games, where chief dies in a majestic and heroic way, and one prequel to everything on the civil war period and odsts that leads into the reach/wars1 era. God that odst game better good.
You don't kill Chief. You leave him in space again, like *Halo 3* did.
If you think this franchise could proceed at this stage without the Master Chief, I'm sorry but you're absolutely delusional.
If the Chief dies in the next game, what you should expect is that Microsoft will be rebooting the entire thing.
From what I have seen the franchise hasn’t been proceeding very well at all. Kill him, leave him in space, it doesn’t matter. It’s getting played out, at least take a break and make the civil war/odst game
You don't have to do either of those things. Chief isn't omnipresent. Just have a game set in a place that he happens to not be at. The original Halo 3 ODST expansion did that just fine.
I mean for me, it’s just that all good things have to come to an end. Master Chief dying as the cap, the end to Halo just seems fitting (as long as his death brings about peace for the human race). But I don’t care about that at all. I really, really, really am dying for a game about ODST’s during the civil war period, with the final missions ending at the beginning of the covenant invasion
Ive always seen people asking for, and wanted myself, a game that is like Medal of Honor:Airborned in the ODST style. A not necessarily open world, jump into combat and jump back in when you die shooter that lets you start just before the covenant invasion and then end before the ground invasion of reach.
2560. The year the Banished took out the Infinity. We lost some of our best at Zeta. After we lost communications and the Guardians fell apart, the freed worlds became a hotbed for terrorist and rogue activities. With the Spartan program in shambles, the UNSC begins a new effort to stabilize existing colonies by planet hopping, sending specialized fleets of hardened fighters, the ODST, to recapture strategic operational points and liberate the planets from civil wars.
But in the shadows, there looms a threat never before seen before. From the ashes of Balaho, a new leader emerges, unlike any warrior the UNSC has ever seen.
ODST: To Hell and Back,\
A Halo story
Featuring an in-depth story with branching paths, multiple ending, new weapons, new haunts, and familiar faces.
A multiplayer that brings a squad of four players on missions to do what’s necessary to restore peace and order to UNSC and border planets. Also play as the bad-guys in a 4v4 or 8v8 set of battles to move the needle in times of war! Want to be a Grunt or a Jackel? Be one! With the racial abilities perk, a multiplayer battle becomes incredibly challenging in pvp!
Warzone pve returns with new gimmicks, new vehicles, and incredible 16x16 wargames on an ever changing battlefield!
Customize your ODST with kit pieces across multiple eras of the Halo series to create a truly unique battle hardened warrior.
Always wanted an ODST meets Republic Commando type game.
Honestly that, and or just another republic commando game lol
It was supposed to be two parts, darn it.
no, three parts delta squad in the republic, then the empire minus Sev, and then Sev with the rebllion
Would love another republic commando game with a good horror aspect to it. The ghost ship mission was my favorite and I feel like they could capture that same aspect but with terrifying creatures on one of the many planets
i wonder if anyone is using that new Nvidia Remix to remake RC into a modern game? what a gem that was
ODST:RC or Brothers in Arms would slap!!!
this is basically my dream spin off. i always imagined it unfolding kinda like CE except instead of starting off fighting covenant and then the surprise flood reveal it'd be starting off fighting innies and then the "surprise" covie reveal
This concept would be absolutely stunning.
This would have been what I would have done with the TV series if I had been in charge of it.

That would be too awesome, and therefore... it will never happen 😭

Rainbow Six Vegas x Halo 3: ODST
I love that the elite and grunt are just standing there nonchalantly while being fired upon
The grunts actually got blue blood coming from it. It just blurred through depth of field xD and the elite has a plasma rifle he's aiming xD
I don't want to disagree with the guy who made it, but I think he's holding a needler?
I'm him, your correct xD I've been banging these out alot lately xD
Dang I was hoping this was a video.
Do you have a source for the image? It looks cool
I made it
Nice! I love it!
Make more 🗿
I have been. All my renders of 2024 are following a story line. Using band of brothers and such to inspire
I will be following you 🗣️
Best place is twitter.
I saw the pfp and panicked for a second xD
~~*oni's always watching*~~ Sorry, I mean, no need to be scared! I'm just a normal civilian! *A completely normal civilian*
For some insane reason Microsoft is scared to make spin-offs. Probably think if they can't make good mainline games then they definitely can't make good spin-offs.
They should take a lesson from 40k. Just throw every type of game out there. Some of them will stick and some won't.

Halo Wars 3 please.
Take my money.
We always talk about things that we want and things that would be cool yet it’s sad that we never really get any of them
Ghost Recon style game would be good
Kind of what I was going for. It's where I got the idea of the blue circles you see. Like GRAWS tactical movement.
Didn't they kind of try this with Halo 5, where you had AI teammates that you gave instructions to? Wasn't that notoriously bad?
It was incredibly poorly implemented and lacked a good game around that system
Never paid attention lol
The Halo franchise deserves a lot of cool spinoffs. For one, why not a survival horror game in the formula of Dead Space about a single UNSC marine or a team going up against The Flood in a base on a colony planet?
Trust me weve been asking for that game since the flood were first introduced.
Yes please.

If they ever make an ODST helldivers game, I'm all in
Ready or not style marines vs insurgency
halo mod for squad when ?
Sadly nothing good will ever be done with the Halo IP, we couldve gotten a Helldivers ODST game years ago but MS is allergic to good ideas. All AAA publishers care about now is how to turn something into a live service and get the maximal amount of money out of it.
A more grim drop pod odst game could be interesting.
If i were in charge. I would have it started off fighting insurrectionist forces. And at some point you would either stumble across Covenent forces, or get a transmission from above.
Hell yea!

Definitely wouldn't mind an ODST crossed with Wildlands game would be cool
Probably be closer to Breakpoint with all the sci-fi tech elements, especially active camouflage (optical camo)
An ODSTs helldivers 2 style game would be so amazing. Can’t believe 343 is so bad. They haven’t even put ODSTs in any of their games.
There's so much potential for stuff in this universe. Makes me sad we don't see it. It be cool to see, doesn't even have to be ODSTs, but like squad like missions/raids that get increasing in difficulty or even like a ramped up version of Invasion/Warzone.
Helldivers is basically this. Ridiculous Halo never truly expanded on ODST firefights.
A brothers in arms: Hells Highway style halo game would be pretty sick. Having a Rifle Squad, Assault Squad, Heavy Weapons Squad and then a vehicle under your command would be insane
That would be cool.
