Subtle adjustments made from the Infinite reload animation. Still gotta ask-Why did Helldivers 2 get the Halo 1 reload animation and not the Halo 1 remake?

genuine question ...........................how come people nit pick this stuff so hard

Because I care

hell, even we got it right.

5 years after infinite, all HS can do is release a half baked remake with no multiplayer or firefight that uses copy/pasted stuff from infinite to cover up that it’s really reach underneath

Technically it was the halo 3/ odst reload (whatever difference that makes) and arrowhead made all the halo animations from scratch while halo studios did not. For whatever reason they chose that (theres a few not just that they’re lazy)

The animation team just feels nonexistent since the layoffs a few years back. The weird quality disparity between some of the new weapon animations and the odd look of the AR given it's a bulkier design trying to fit on animations built for a sleeker AR.

Helldiver devs have military backgrounds. And it's in-house. And are huge halo fans. I wouldn't be suprised if some of the staff already had side projects with Halo assets just for fun.

I don't think a remake of a game needs to use the exact same animations as the original game. A remaster? Yes. A remake? They should be able to change shit.

they didnt change anything tho, they just reused the reload animation from the last game

The original halo 1 reload is only in halo 1 for a reason, it's slow, less practical and nowhere near as good as modern halo. Helldivers only did it for nostalgia bait. The actual odst crossover they did was still pretty garbage.

Damn, 4 bad takes for the price of 1!

You want a slow ass reload from a 2001 game to be in a 2026 game. That's equivalent to 5 bad takes if u ask me. P. S. Love your content.

Gotta love that 18-month employee contract policy Microsoft pushes so hard.

Institutional knowledge is for chumps 🤡 who needs retaining talent and letting teams grow stronger through shipping together and learning to work with one another?

Just copy and paste all the work from previous devs, throw a layer of UE5 graphics over it, pay under livable wage and profit

Now you're thinkin smart! Best part is that we dont have to offer them healthcare or benefits either!

My most anticipated mod for Campaign Evolved is the HK slap reload for the AR. Not even kidding haha

Infinite reload animations are just so good

Because unlike 343i, Arrowhead actually cared and focused on attention to details

You know the reason, all 343 of them.

Sounds like someone needs a green/black screen to compare animations 👀

yessssssir I do!!!!!

Adding it to the list! 🔥

I'm so sick of this animation, why are they reusing this dated animation when they can just recreate the original CE animation and reuse That for future releases instead? I thought this was a Multi-Million, Triple-A company.

Halo infinite's animation looks fantastic, its not dated by any means. The issue is that its just not in the spirit of Halo CE.

Cause they dgaf, man. I hated the cope from October, we all knew damn well they wouldn’t change a thing. We didn’t get the CE remake we wanted or needed, whaddya gonna do…

Not a fan of the high pitched, plasticky beep or "clink" sound design that they use for the assault rifles ever since Halo 5. Again it's something that Helldivers 2's version has which is that scratchy, heavy sound that fits Halo's 80s-90s military sci-fi style way more to me.

Why THE FUCK does this matter

Maybe I’m wrong but if you reload with more than one bullet in the mag there is still a round in the chamber and you don’t need to rack one. Couldn’t tell from the video tho if that was the case.

Its just simply too much for them to think about thats why. Incompetence

Because the HD2 developers actually like Halo

Completely different companies and teams?

i dont fucking know

Been wondering this too

we are a genuinely insane fandom

is there even a properly new animation for campaign evolved?

Copy paste of infinite

I aint gonna lie i didnt know 343 was soo damn lazzzyyyyy bro this whole game is just re-used assets

That would’ve taken an extra week, and that’s not acceptable.

Small Indie studio

Is there something wrong or incorrect about the animation?
