The Evolution Of Halo

Halo has evolved quite a bit throughout it's history as Microsoft Xbox's flagship video game exclusive. Master chief has had incredible success and gearing up for the new Infinite launch, we thought it'd be worth showing where it all started!

Halo: Combat Evolved launched in the Fall of 2001 alongside the release of the original Xbox, and in the nearly two decades since, Halo has become and remains a worldwide phenomenon. With 13 total Halo games and 5 mainline entries, dozens of books, and an endless sea of merch and related content, Halo has changed and evolved enormously since its inception.

Considering how much Halo there is, the whole franchise can be intimidating to newcomers who may not know where to start. Luckily (to some) though, the fundamentals of Halo haven’t changed all that much, and it’s easier than you think to jump in and experience Master Chief’s adventures for yourself.

Today, we’re here to follow the evolution of Halo as a franchise over the years; talk about its legacy and influence on gaming as a whole; and tell you what you need to know about the upcoming Halo Infinite as well as talk about why some fans aren’t happy with the next-gen Halo’s direction.

Whether you’re a longtime Halo fan looking for a refresher in the leadup to Halo Infinite’s 2021 launch or you’ve never played a single Halo game before, we’re here to give you the definitive overview of the evolution of the Halo franchise, including what we know about Halo Infinite.

I’m here after listening to boys singing the halo song in a bathroom.

I am a big halo fan and i have been a fan for a long time and i'l admit TheGamer has improved a lot sense the last time i watched.
Nicely done TheGamer most of what is said in this video is infact true. This was relaxing to watch and also a nice recap on some things.
I don't think The halo games all feel the same. i think they all have there differences but at the same time they stay true to how halo is intended to play and be except halo 5, Spartan assault, spartan strike and some parts of halo 4.

My friend actually edited for the gamer, and he's told me a few things about what it was like working with them, when Zero calls them corporate he's completely right, the gamer is actually owned by screen rant, who own a number of low quality, corporate, uninspired 10 style channels, such as the binger, the richest, the things ECT. (great names huh?)



The scriptwriters have to pitch ideas for videos that they want to make for subjects they are passionate about, but they're pretty much always turned down and given these corporate clickbaity videos on subjects they don't know or are not passionate about.

Now you would think the writers would put in the effort to do the research and make the video as well as they can right? well these types of channels only hire people on a freelance basis, this is done so that they don't have to pay a consistent wage and can get away with underpaying their staff. Instead of being paid for the hours they put in, they get paid on the basis of how many scripts they finish, and from what my friend has told me, they don't pay that well either.

This just this corporate structure creates a culture of just blazing through as much work as you can as quick as you can. to put it briefly QUANTITY over quality.



The voice-overs are freelance too, they aren't required to do any research, or know anything about games in general as long as they have a good voice and "read script good" then that's all the gamer asks of them. they're just grinding through as many scripts as they can.

It's the same for editors too, you don't have to know or understand what the games really about you just need grind through as many videos as you can to put food on the table.





these channels just pump out this Junkfood clickbaity content because it shows up in the sidebar and people end up clicking on it and watching long enough to make some revenue. They don't value quality in the slightest, they just want to produce as much as they can and quickly and cheaply as they can.



sorry for the essay. I hope this was interesting for anyone who read it. as an editor myself, I hate seeing these companies underpay their staff and actively choosing to make low-quality content

Wassup boi. 4th person to the comments!

Star Wars is suffering something similar. Halo is Halo, the BEST FPS Ever. STAR WARS is STAR WARS, best movies ever (except Holliday Special and Ewok Tales).

[HydronHarry]

You keep saying “some have said x criticism of halo infinite” though I’m unfamiliar with a lot said criticisms, like complaints about the break away from linearity. This video seems to completely neglect the reactions of the broader Halo community. This video is a whole lot of hot air.

[creepstube]

Who’s gonna get the new one on Xbox one X?

[maxwell_o.o]

They rather make it more like call of duty not as open world campaign and then make a Halo Battle Royale and make the BR as unique as possible

[emmanuelchavez]

I missed the old days playing the original Halo

Hopefully it will be cheap without Xbox Game Pass. And it could have flashbacks like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
