Time for me to update the list I think.I usually wait until a Halofest or something major happens, but its been a while and a lot more people have died since.

Who wore it best?worst?
It's there a lore reason why grunts aren't on your side in halo 3?
>>4865765073 ruined everything
>>486576512The reason is shut up we're done with this series but we're under contract to finish the trilogy and then 2 more projects so here take your game and like it or stop talking
>>486576507Best: 2Worst: 5 (holy shit wtf were they thinking)
>>486576507CE because it took up the least amount of screen space, but I like Reach/2A's design overall.
>>4865765072's is just a straight up improvement's on CE's2A's is fine.3's really fucks with things but is usablereach's (not pictured) is one of the things that game did better than 3Everything after is a lolcow
>>486576507switching the sniper from 2x to 5x was a huge benefitThere are lots of times when 5x is optimal
>>486576507Halo 4 may be the worst Halo, but it had the best sniper rifle. Man it felt so good to aim. Shitter-friendliest sniper rifle in the franchise. Chef's kiss. The sniper rifle is so hard to use in every game that it can barely even count as a power weapon.
>>486577647Being easy to use makes it a bad weapon.Same reason the SAW is a bad weapon in 4.
>>486577765Are rockets a bad weapon?
>>486577765But it's the only hard weapon to use. SAW is just bad because it's kind of boring. It's good against BRs and ARs because you can keep shooting while they're relaoding at close range but for a power weapon its accuracy/range is pretty bad when you go full auto spray. It also has surprisingly small ammo clip for a heavier type of machine gun. You don't really get much ammo for it in campaign either.
>>486577947Rockets are fine. They have limited ammunition and most people blow themselves up trying to use them. The SAW is a straight upgrade of the AR in damage, accuracy, ammo count.The Binary Rifle is also a bad weapon for similar reasons.
Halo mention:https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1387&v=rO8N6Zt8YT4&feature=youtu.be
Losertriox
>>486578320Maybe the SAW is balanced by being an opportunity cost by going for it instead of a rocket or sniper. Yeah, it might be a straight upgrade of an AR which is boring, but it's not so good that I would drop my DMR or Concussion Rifle for it. That's pretty lame for being a power weapon.
>>486578320I agree with your stance on Rockets, but I would add that their ease of use makes it as a good weapon for breaking setups. It's infrequent enough and they don't stick around for long enough to totally dominate a game like Reach-5's snipers do.>SAW is just bad because it's kind of boring.Agreed. It has no downside relative to other weapons. It has more ammo, better accuracy, a better fire rate, and no damage penalty compared to the AR. At least with a sniper you'd worry about being able to hit shots with a slow fire rate relative to the BR. It could have been made more interesting if the AR and SAW swapped accuracy values. Then there would be some give and take at the very least.>The Binary Rifle is also a bad weapon for similar reasons.In 4, definitely. Both of the "big" forerunner power weapons in that game were just "it's a more extreme of this other gun, but with half the ammo." I like 5's because it's rather unique. Not perfect, but I still like its implementation.
>>486579017>Maybe the SAW is balancedIt isn't>by being an opportunity cost by going for it instead of a rocket or sniper.Why wouldnt you? It's pretty much a guaranteed multiple kills.>Yeah, it might be a straight upgrade of an AR which is boring, but it's not so good that I would drop my DMR or Concussion Rifle for it.You would drop your AR for it.
>>486579017>Maybe the SAW is balanced by being an opportunity cost by going for it instead of a rocket or sniper.That makes some sense, with them taking ordinance into account, but do you think that is a good way to go about designing your weapons?
>>486579162>You would drop your AR for it.Yes, but I would also drop my AR for a plasma pistol or a light rifle.
The Endless has arrived
forced
>>486580086and you wold drop those for the SAW alsoThe SAW is just an op wleapon. Poorly designed. That's it.
hgussy
>>486584642Depends on the situation. In campaign I don't pick up the SAW because there's no ammo for it. If I'm playing BTB I'm keeping the plasma pistol because I hate the Mantis more than I like the SAW. In 4v4 I'm only going for the SAW if it's the closest power weapon but I'd rather have rockets or sniper. It's not very effective outside of close range and it doesn't kill as quickly as other power weapons so enemies have time to stick you or at least take out your shields before they go down.
consensual
>>486586101>It's not very effective outside of close rangeYou can just tap the trigger and it'll remain more or less perfectly accurate even at a very long range with a minimal hit to your already high DPS.
>>486586939If you have to use controlled bursts/fire like that then you might as well switch to your DMR.
>>486587287Only if you're trying to hit people cross-map. The SAW stays strong even when burst firing. I don't know exact TTKs, but it probably beats out any precision weapon within red reticle range.
>>486586319Rather force myself desu
>>486573423rape?
>Here's your Halo killer bro
>>486586101>Depends on the situation.The SAW is always a good weapon to have in mp.>In campaignThe conversation is how it's broken for mp. How it fairs in Campaign is irrelevant. That being said, it essentially has infinite ammo on the pelican mission>If I'm playing BTB I'm keeping the plasma pistol The Plasma Pistol is a spawnable weapon. You can literally get your free killing spree with the SAW then switch to the PP>In 4v4 I'm only going for the SAW if it's the closest power weapon but I'd rather have rockets or sniper.It is easier to get 4+ kills with the SAW in 4v3 than either of those. At the very elast it' worth securing the SAW for your team instead of letting the enemy have it.It' just a broken weapon.>It's not very effective outside of close rangeWrong again. The SAW has actually absurdly broken range for an auto. It has more dps than the Suppressor (fastest ttk of any starting weapon) but significantly better range than the AR. It can outdual the BR.
Halo 4 is just a broken game from a design standpoint.The SAW has already been talked to death for how OP it is, but also the Binary Rifle and the insane magnetism on the no scope Beam Rifle.Then you've got Boltshots being starting weapons when they should be power weapons or at least weapons on map.Then you've got the Pulse Grenade which is worthless and doesn't even accomplish what it' supposed to as an aoe.
>>486591109>market game like an alternative to halo>put game into end of service so you can focus more on development and make an even better game>turn it into zoomer slop (all games of which have failed disastrously)fucking hell what a bunch of retards
>>486592479millennials are in the minority nowIt only makes sense to cater to zoomers
>>486592665devs say this then wonder why their games all fail after trying to appeal to zoomers, who are only interested in fortnite
>>486591109>literal overwatch shit
>>486591109i wanna rape that hero in the back
You guys grab the SAW and Binary Rifle, I'll grab Rockets and Sniper.
>>486597128yeah fucking right race me bitch
>>486597128>one guy grabbing rockets and sniperoh so we're going to lose? Thanks for letting me know so I cab quit before the game starts
Do zoomers actually like 'Zoomer'-focused games or is it just some millenials thinking what zoomers should want and trying to force them to like it? Do zoomers actually play games or are they busy on their tablets/phones/tiktok and its really millenials buying zoomer games because they're trying to feel inclusive and support these types of political feel-good products
>>486597128>Rockets, SAW, Binary, and Sniper on the same mapis there even a single instance on a 4v4 map where this is the case?
>>486597693Why does it have to be 4v4?
>>486597638>Do zoomers actually like 'Zoomer'-focused games or is it just some millenials thinking what zoomers should want and trying to force them to like it?It's a mix of both.They like being catered to, but sometimes it comes off as a bit too obvious.
>>486597762Fine, name the Big Team map where this is the case and I'll explain why it's a dumb argument.
>>486597841they sound like women
>>486597608Don't worry, I'll die after getting off 2 rocket shots to kill an enemy, so there should still be some ammo left for the rocket and a full sniper clip ready to go if you can get to my body before the enemy does. They probably will get to me first but you never know until you try.>>486597693BTB. What other mode is there in Halo?
>>486598017Aren't their weapon drops in BTB? You can definitely have all three at some point during the match, just not on spawn I think.
>>486598737Exile has 2 snipers, rockets, and 2 SAWs, but no Binary.
>>486576183I am alive and inside the inner circle. -tav
Do you prefer the H4 Binary Rifle or the H5 Binary Rifle?
what da
>>4866013715's, because it tries to be at least a little different.
>>486598737>Aren't their weapon drops in BTB?You can't plan your initial "I'll grab the X" if the X isn't already on the map.So can you think of a map that has those weapons on it by default or not?
>>486603725He doesn't have one. just take the W so we can discuss something else.
>>486603725>So can you think of a map that has those weapons on it by default or not?Edited versions of Forge Island, Ravine, Impact, and Erosion.
>discussaaaaiiiiieeeeeeeeeee
>>486603725Retard.
>>486604705So no maps that are actually in matchmaking. Got it.Also, Forge Island was never completed.In conclusion, the SAW is a trash OP weapon that should never have been in matchmaking for non meme modes.
>>486604990you've done him>>486604932He's done you
the SAW or any sort of lmg in halo could’ve been great because unlike the vast majority first person shooters suppressive fire can actually work in halo without implementing gay screen shake and blurry vision filters thanks to the descope mechanic. the focus rifle is the closest we ever got to a true lmg in halo but sadly the fast overheat crippled its potential. all a lmg needs in halo is to just take a normal assault rifle, make it laser accurate with no falloff, give it a long range scope, and maybe if you like gimmicks let it deploy a tripod when crouched that prevents descope for yourself. that’s it no extra damage or anything like that.
>>486605170I remember I actually got good with the focus rifle at one point in Reach but then the TU made it so that the DMR was just too good to pass up using for 99% of the time
The SAW should have been about the same bullet strength of the AR but shoots at a slower rate like the commando but you basically don't have to reload for a long while because of the massive magazine size. We don't really have a weapon like that where you can actually lay down suppressing fire to keep enemies pinned. Anything with bottomless clip or a single mag usually overheats or has too little ammo. Maybe give it a short scope too, but no headshot damage.
>>486605331It was still pretty good even post-TU. It killed faster than most regular weapons.>>486605170The AR has already always been pretty good as a descope machine, and got better at it post-bloom. Give it decent damage and you won't need a suppression weapon.The silent SMG sounds almost like what you want, aside from its low per-shot damage.
>>486604819what
shrimp
https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/halo-canceled-paramount-plus-1236075994/NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO>According to an individual with knowledge of the situation, Xbox, Amblin TV, and 343 Industries will try to shop the series to other outlets. PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!!
>>486612627Halo doesn't die... it just goes missing in action................
>>486612627Now we're truly left with nothing...
>>486612627fuck Halobros, what does this mean for the Silver timeline reboot in the CE remake?
>>486612627CWCHADS IT'S TIME

>>486612627>turn beloved franchise into shitty show>it does shittilyWOW WOW WEE WOW WHO COULD HAVE THOUGHT?!?!?!
>>486612627all they had to do was copy paste halo 1. fucking idiots think they know better. well guess what? you lost your jobs, retard.
>>486612627So uuuh... whats next for halo? New game announcement soon?
>>486615726>you lost your jobs, retard.Lmao, they are already working on another series
>>486615995source?
>>486615995this. get owned chuds
>>486616140Every single time a series fails, the people responsible for it never get fired. They just move to another project.
>hire halo haters to make halo and turn it into CoD>double down on it with the sequel>shit out a piss poor attempt at an apology of a game that took 6 years to make but was actually just 2 years of actual development after 4 years of jacking off all day>take 10 years to shit out a TV show that has nothing to do with the franchise>"wtf how come our franchise is dying?????"why is 343 like this?
>>486612627Seriously? The season 2 bluray comes out in 5 days and they straight up cancel the show? I thought Paramount was pleased with Halo's viewership. Wasn't it doing better than the new Star Trek series?
>>486612627Are we back, or.....? I can't rightly say we're back, but saying it's over doesn't feel right either. I still don't get how they had an entire franchise worth of noncanon bookshit and somehow decided "let's make a halo show that doesn't involve halo at all" instead
>>486612627Another KWAB award for 343, the most incompetent and retarded studio in video game history

I never watched the show.I don't know how bad it was.I will say that from the masses, it was the most positive reception I had heard Halo get. Now that it's gone, I feel like the plan is to put the series on ice for a bit, which is finally the right call.MCC failed then failed again.Infinite took too long to get good.It's time for a sleep.

>tfw there are more people who hate Halo more than we love Halo who get to work on HaloWhy do we live in such a clown world? Why wouldn't you want to work on something you love? Why would you want to work on something you hate? That seems like such a miserable kind of life to live. I'd be so stressed out and depressed if I had to work at a cosmetics/beauty shop or be a maid and clean someone else's house. I would never want to work those kinds of jobs so I'm gonna avoid them like the plague. So why are these people going out and looking for jobs in areas they hate so much or don't care about? There are so many more options that you could find happiness with, why would you make it miserable for yourself and everyone else. Maybe they enjoy being miserable? I don't know what's wrong with some of these people, man.

So 343Industries are taking a support roll in development of future Halo Games? Like in the way Games Workshop handles Warhammer? So does this mean that Microsoft will whore out the Series to random studios and 343I are only consulting? I just dont get it, they didn't really clarify how much power the studio will have over certain decisions. Like if some random niggers make a faithful Halo FPS does that mean 343 can just come in and take a shit on it?
