Is Halo really in VR?

By: Jake Rajala

It would be blasphemous to say Halo didn’t have one of the best theme songs and all-around vibe in entertainment. The franchise that hit the original Xbox with a bang is quite rejuvenating and refreshing. Hence, it’s worth repeating the joy from the theme song once again.

Halo is on PlayStation and Xbox as Halo Infinite is recently crushing it for those consoles. Yet, it’s less but it’s less certain to a plethora of gamers if Halo (and it’s majestic theme song) is on Virtual Reality!

The answer to the question above has mixed results. It’s technically possible to play Halo on VR, but it’s certainly not made for the masses! Kyle Melnick of VR Scout noted that a reddit user named u/Dyortos flexed footage of himself driving a Warthog vehicle across Zeta Halo.

It would be hard to depend on the noob gamer above for Halo to be spread out among the gaming world. We desperately need and deserve Halo to reach the virtual reality circle! The fresh feelings from the birth of Halo Combat: Evolved would return with the first Halo in the VR sphere, to say the least. I believe the worst outcome is that Halo we all love reaches VR with real-life graphics, superior maps, and unearthly guns, in the not-so-distant future.

Halo is really similar to Guardians Frontline – which may deserve deep research to connect the dots between the two. Guardians allows users to be a soldier or a commander. It has future weaponry and adventurous battle fields. You can also fight solo or with another partner. In conclusion, the soldiers look pretty darn similar to Halo warriors!

Steam gives Frontline a 9/10 rating and the reviews on Reddit are mostly very positive.

The VR game Seeking Dawn from 2018 has also drawn comparisons to Halo. It features a space marine on a distant, colorful planet. It’s a sci-fi game that spews adventure and of course: first person shooting. The graphics are more impressive than Guardians Frontline. The weapons aren’t quite as fancy as that of Guardians Frontline. The story line is a tad bland in comparison to Frontline, as well.

Steam gives Seeking Dawn a score of 6/10 and Reddit is evenly split in the reviews.
