>>546019164HALO!
>>546019164This has to be the most quintessential CE thing there is and the fact that CEM doesn't have it is already making me REALLY FUCKING MAD

Every Noble spartan was obnoxious, useless and stupid
>>546020186Imagine the smell
Halo 2 campaign tier list:>Cairo StationA-tier. Doesn't really feel like an invasion; needed more Covenant and Marines to be S-tier.>OutskirtsA-tier. It SHOULD be S-tier with the alley fights and beach section, but the level starts off with waveslop and also has too many sniper Jackals.>MetropolisA-tier. The Scorpion section at the start is lame but boarding the Scarab is the peak of Halo 2.>The ArbiterB-tier. Level design is okay and the AI buddies are cool.>The OracleD-tier. The Flood aren't fun in Halo 2, there's TWO waveslop sections, and the boss sucks.>Delta HaloC-tier. Waveslop at the start, and the Scorpion section is boring.>RegretB-tier. Level and encounter design are actually pretty good, but the sniper Jackals are obnoxious.>Sacred IconD-tier. The Flood aren't fun in Halo 2, and the Sentinels are pushovers.>Quarantine ZoneD-tier. 343 wishes they could make a level this bad. Level geometry is actually solid but the encounters are so bad it's more fun to drive past them. Shooting Gallery is fucking awful and everything wrong with Halo 2: waveslop, shit guns, and shit AI.>GravemindC-tier. Starts off with waveslop and the Brutes aren't fun to fight.>UprisingD-tier. Middling level design and the Brutes are uniquely horrendous here.>High CharityC-tier. It's the only level in Halo 2 where the AI really shines, and ironically it's when you're trying to avoid fighting them.>The Great JourneyD-tier. Middling level design, Wraith section sucks, Banshee section sucks, the Brutes suck, and the final boss is a slog.As someone who's played Halo since the 2000's, I've never loaded half the Halo 2 missions individually; I've only played most of them as part of a full playthrough because there's no replay value to the fucking Oracle.
Waveslop is fun if the game has good combat, which H2 kinda doesn't
Halo 2 was held in the highest regard by this general until very recently. Thankfully tourists are temporary. unlike the gay poster, unfortunately >not an argumentNeither are your subjective feelings. Maybe post an objective truth claim for once.
>>546022273>claims there is only one gay poster
>>546022474There is only one unironically gay poster. No other posters have actually sucked my dick, sadly.
>>546020186It was a beam rifle being fired by a focus rifle placeholder, but many are not ready for that conversation still
>>546022273>Halo 2 was held in the highest regard by this general until very recentlyWhich is weird, because people have been bitching about Halo 2's wave defence for at least a decade.
Just checked out ruby of blue's video on reworking the covenant in 2. What a fucking disaster of a mod lmao. Jackals should NEVER speak english and grunts shouldn't wear generic artstation masks. All the dumb fuck had to do was tick a box to make them immune to headshots. This is modder's megalomania at its worst.
>>546022575I don't think I saw any gay post in the previous thread, how do you identify him?
>>546022927Did he actually fucking make the Jackals speak English? God dammit.
>>546021138I like the flood levels a lot more than you do and I think Gravemind is peakBut I understand your reasoning
>>546022948He deletes his posts after a few minutes. He's on a FOMO arc.>>546022834Almost as if that isn't a big deal. >>546023154He reasons that the arbiter can speak kigger so they should speak english in his levels.
>>546023415>the player being unable to make decisions isn't a big deal
>>546022927I'm just going to take his character tags when they're released. He's gone way overboard in a lot of instances, when all I really wanted was more CE-esque combat on different maps.
Being mad at artificial mission length padding via waves is perfectly fine and understandable.The problem is pretending this is a uniquely Halo 2 problem.
>>546018631yeh just play it and that's itjust ignore the halohaters about it
>>546022927I've been sounding this alarm for years now, but Ruby is way too interested in our-doing the devs as opposed to just making a fun mod.CE rebalanced has the same problem.
>>546023552>The problem is pretending this is a uniquely Halo 2 problem.It is a Halo 2 problem because Halo 2 has 2 good guns and the AI is the worst in the series.
>>546023552It kind of is. Other games have holdout sections, but it's only 2 or 3 times a campaign at most. In Halo 2, it's 2 or 3 times a mission.
>>546023517>>546023704>>546023756I get that you personally have a HUGE problem with it but acting like everyone else has the same brain worm isn't healthy.
>>546023704>It is a Halo 2 problem because Halo 2 has 2 good guns and the AI is the worst in the series.
>>546023690There's nothing wrong in taking some pride in your work. Ruby's problem is that he never knows when enough is enough. It's gotten to the point where he's completely remaking huge chunks of geometry and adding in a ton of different weapons and mechanics for something still being called a "rebalance."
>>546023904Halo 2 can't be fixed with weapon stats alone.
It's just cheefag. I told you he was back and none of you motherfuckers (You)'d me. He hates halo 2 because the master chief was sidelined.
>>546023756>It kind of is. Other games have holdout sections, but it's only 2 or 3 times a campaign at most.Individual levels in CE have more instances than that alone.You are being intentionally dishonest.
>>546023904>There's nothing wrong in taking some pride in your work. Ruby's problem is that he never knows when enough is enough.This is a problem with freelancing in general. People love to shit on Publishers but the fact is at the end of the day you need someone to step in and force shit to be left behind on the cutting room floor.
>>546024000>He hates halo 2 because the master chief was sidelinedDude it's 2025, nobody cares about the Raiden plot twist anymore. Everyone knows that Halo 2 has the best story, but bad levels.>>546024056Halo (the Halo 1 mission) has like two of them, except they're actually fun because the terrain is interesting, the guns feel great, and the AI works.
>>546023979It's not going to be fixed by adding a door unlocking gimmick and ODST weapons, either.Retuned AI behavior, more reserve ammo, and some slight buffs to weaker weapons would go a long way.
>>546023904He's also a MASSIVE sophist. Twisting bungie's words to justify his retarded ideas.
>>546024056I was gonna say, at least Halo 2 gets creative with its waves and lets you outright skip them a lot of the time.Truth and Reconciliation is outright absurd by comparison.
>>546023415>Almost as ifGo back to Preddit and rope faggot
>>546024056>Individual levels in CE have more instances than that alone.Halo(the level) pushes it by making you go through it 3 times, but other than the two fights on T&R and most of the Library(which most people agree isn't a good level), you're free to do what you want.>>546024245You still never explained how.
>>546024203>Everyone knows that Halo 2 has the best story, but bad levels.Except no one seems to be able to explain it beyond >it's NOT FUN WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAor >LE WAVE DEFENCE IS LE BAD
>>546024270T&R is fun. It says a lot that the best you can say about Halo 2's combat is being able to not engage in it LOL
>>546024203>Halo (the Halo 1 mission) has like two of themIt has 2 at least, 4 at mosaic there are worse culprits like T&R and Library still.>except theyre actually funOh damn, well you showed me lol

>only 2 waves on halo>only 2 waves on T&RHave these retards even played CE?
>>546024665You're obviously trolling if you think that's some kind of slam dunk.
>>546024789>You're obviously trolling if you think game design is relevant
>>546024665If you find Halo CE more "fun" than Halo 2 that's fine man. I'm not here to tell you your personal preferences are wrong.I'm pointing out that complaining about Halo 2 for having waves and then giving CE a pass is bullshit.Just say "I like CE's waves". Don't lie and pretend they don't exist in CE when they very obviously do.
>>546024734>>only 2 waves on haloWere there no waves in the hilly area?
>>546024538>CE does it even worse and more oftenCE does it far less often. Literally making shit up to defend your shit game lmao
Wave defense is quintessential Halo.
>>546024665I don't know why that anon is complaining about the Needler, it was easily the worst gun in the first game. Halo 3 honestly perfected it by making it a decent single-wield weapon. There was no point in letting you carry 2 because it had 0 synergy with anything else.
Be strong my brethren. The tourists did not defeat the forerunners, and they will not defeat us. Just call him a retard. The worst he can do is quote your post with a react image.

>>546024956>I'm pointing out that complaining about Halo 2 for having waves and then giving CE a pass is bullshit.Let me break this down in simple terms because at this point a food analogy is required.If a red-blooded American patriot is preparing a dinner for you, you're not gonna complain that there's too many meatballs, because they're made from actual ground beef.Halo 2 unfortunately is not a meal served by a real American, but a vegan. As such, Halo 2's weapons and AI are vegan meatballs; I am going to complain that there's too many meatballs. If you're going to serve me a vegan meal, I'm not interested in vegan meatballs, so make something else.
>>546026053The ending of Guilty Spark could be influenced by the player.
>>546025172>better design>better ai>better weapons>actually justified in storyIt earned it. Halo 2 did not.
>>546026053>two on haloWhy are you just blatantly lying?Everybody here has played Halo CE.>bro you can skip some of them broAnd I can skip the courtyard, Gondola, entire levels, etc.Are you just fishing for (YOU)s?
>>546026292There's the holdout at the tower and the holdout at the rocks; where else do Covenant reinforcements come in?
>>546026053>two on halostopped reading.I bet you don't consider AOCTR padding either lol
>>546025172I did not care for Crow's Nest.
>>546026292>Why are you just blatantly lying?>first tower>rock slideNo more than that. Why are YOU lying? And why are you typing like a Predditor? Maybe you should go back?
This thread has revealed to me that the biggest 2 haters are either intentionally dishonest or are filtered by harder difficultiesIt helps to know I guess.But... just wow
I like CE far more than 2 but I literally played Halo (level) last night and every single marine point had dropship reinforcements except the final tower
>>546026419>stopped reading.Name more than first tower and rock slide, then. You can't.>I bet you don't consider AOCTR padding either lolI do. There's far too many rooms. But they have different encounters, and you get to keep moving. And the weapons aren't total shit (except the needler lel) AND the canyons are great.
>>546026053>it doesn't count because it shouldn't be there at allpfffffaaahahahahahahahahaha
Why are you retards using wave sections in other games as a gotcha to absolve Halo 2's wave sections of not being fun? They're designed differently between games.
>>546026521not him but the second tower does have additional reinforcementsNot sure whether that counts as "waves"
>>546026567>y-y-y-y-ou're just w-w-w-wrong, okay?!Like clockwork.
I agree, Halo 2 loses because it's just not as fun, because... BECAUSE IT JUST ISNT OK?!
>>546004241It's alright.
>>546026810Everyone already agrees that The Library sucks, so it's not worth mentioning.
Both games have abysmal wave and asset reuse to pad out the length artificially.CE is less creative about its.2 has more.3 wins. And it isn't particularly close.
>>546027067>y-y-y-you're just wrong *sobs*Again.>>546026810>>it doesn't count because it shouldn't be there at allIt counts. It's shit. I acknowledge it's shit. What point did you think you made here?
>>546027224Halo 2 is not more creative about it at all.
>>546027352>Halo 2 is not more creative about it at all.Whatever retard. Go ahead and squabble with CEtards about it.Either way 3 is better than both.
/hg/ will never be the same
>>546027141I'd rather replay the Library than the vast majority of Halo 2's levels. The problem with the Library isn't that any part of it is even badly designed, but that the level overstays its welcome. Halo CE's recycled content still has that 30 seconds of fun because the weapons feel great, the AI is intelligent, and the recycled areas were never badly designed in the first place; Halo 2 doesn't nail the 30 seconds for obvious reasons.
>>546025369The worst posters are not tourists.
>>5460274603 has its own problems. Like forcing you to backtrack at the halfway point in most of its levels. And not having a single banshee mission.
>>546027273>>546027067Look at these retards arguing with each other with meme shit and buzzwords like "you're wrong" and "it's more fun"
I love all the original trilogy games because they each offer something different
>>546027562>3 has its own problems. Like forcing you to backtrackYet another thing CE is objectively worse at.
>>546027352That's nice, now face the wall
>>546026420How can you even say that, anon?
>>546027670343 Guilty Spark is the only level that makes you backtrack
>>546026913Alright, I guess we can stretch and say that dropship counts. Halo has three.And not one of those three is as horrible as Outskirts alone, let alone anything from the flood missions.
>>546027495CE pistol and CE shotgun cure all illsSo naturally they should never ever come back because reasons
Repeat after meHALO 2 IS NOT FUN IF YOU LIKE HALO 2 YOU ARE WRONG
>>546027772The near entirety of Two Betrayals is backtracking. Keyes is mostly threading the same level just differently. The Maw is The Pillar of Autumn with extra rooms.
Halo 2 is fun, but it's the most flawed of the original trilogy.
>>546028234YOU ARE WRONG
>I'd rather replay the Library than the vast majority of Halo 2's levels.
>>546028065Go play Resident Evil or Metroid. Backtracking is when you physically extricate yourself from the room you just walked into; The Maw and PoA are at opposite ends of the game.
>>546027670CE introduces you to new enemies when backtracking. Halo 3 just has you turn around at a dead end and go back to where you came from, fighting the same Brute and Grunt squads the entire time, with the same BR and plasma gun.
>>546028291>I AM SILLYKill yourself.
>>546028394YOU FIRST 2RANNY
>>546028370>fighting the same Brute and Grunt squads the entire timePatently false.>with the same BR and plasma gunSounds like a (You) issue.
The worst part, is that Halo 2 COULD have been excellent. If they didn't cut three levels, didn't depend on awful padding with gondalas, lifts and wave defense sections. If they didn't have to gimp the AI, and if the weapons were better designed. It could have ended the series on a bang.
HALO CE HAS WAVE DEFENCE TOO! NO, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THE LEVEL DESIGN IS ANY GOOD, BECAUSE LOOK! HALO CE HAS WAVE DEFENCE! THAT MEANS HALO 2 IS GOOD!!!! EITHER WAVE DEFENCE IS ALWAYS GOOD, OR WAVE DEFENCE IS ALWAYS BAD! LEVEL DESIGN DOESN'T MATTER! SANDBOX DOESN'T MATTER! AI DOESN'T MATTER! STOP BADMOUTHING HALO 2!
>>546028646Time constraints, technical limitations, there's nothing I wouldn't give to play the perfected version with Halo 3 integrated. The gondolas 100% would have stayed though.
You will never belong here, Shartyfag.
The GayR should have stayed gone after H2
>>546028819Any rebuttals on the matters of level design, sandbox, and AI?
>>546028859
Regret's gondolas are fine. Quarantine Zone's isn't.
>>546028623>Patently false.Then prove it wrong. You get to the Hangar in Crow's Nest, and the only different encounter is the single Drone wave.The Storm and Floodgate actually make you fight different enemies, but those are the quickest levels in the trilogy.The Ark makes you backtrack while still fighting the same vehicles.The Covenant is 2 nearly identical towers, only broken up by a small Flood encounter when exiting the second.Cortana is Flood the entire time, and you literally retrace your steps exactly the second time through.Sierra 117, Tsavo Highway, and Halo are the only ones that aren't like this. If you fault CE for backtracking, then you fault Halo 3 for the exact same thing.
>>546028945You don't deserve squat, shartyfag.
Once again the coveted halo discussion has proven to be the worst kind of /hg/ posting. King Troll I beg you to return to image based shitposting rather than this inflammatory nonsense.
>>546029169>if I accuse you of being an off-siter, I don't have to justify my arguments
>>546028995I think it needed to be shorter and much better lit. The physics on it are wacky as well. Could have been a great set piece if they did anything interesting with the tunnel the gondola was traveling through.
>>546028995Regret's gondola rides are novel because there is stuff going on outside of the platform for you to focus on, and instances of jumping between them. All of the flood ones suck because the entire focus is on enemies on the same level as you. The only difference between that and a locked room is that you can fall off the edge.
>>546028958Picrel is way more fun to use
>>546029464forgot pic
>>546028995>Quarantine Zone's isn't.It's bad because it's missing its bossfight. Same as Sacred Icon, and The Oracle aswell.
>>546029464>AAAAIIIIEEEEEEEE
Halo 2 is okay
>>546029676This is the best automatic weapon that Bungie ever designed, because it can actually hit stuff at range. Its DPS is still rather low, but you can descope enemies easily with it. I miss Recon Slayer.
>>546029860Fenceshitter
>>546029279QZ's gondola looks prettier with the dynamic lights re-enabled
>>546030265Oh that's fucking cool
>>546030265Do the lights hurt performance much?
>>546030634On hardware from the last 20 years? Nah.On the original Xbox? Definitely.
>>546002742>will release the source files of the modYep. We are so back!
>>546029927The MP variant is straight up worse than the AR. Having better range don't mean shit when you can't kill stuff.
>Go play Resident Evil or MetroidThe goalposts are being actively moved out of this series and into other IPs lmao what the fuck
>>546031243Yeah dude backtracking is when Keyes teleports you to the next level
Sacred Icon/Quarantine Zone is one of my favorite Halo missions and my only gripe with it is how the gondola movement impacts projectiles. The gondola ride itself I don't mind.
>>546030912The multiplayer Suppressed SMG had the same damage stats as the regular one, which was just a stat flip from the AR. 5 damage at 15 rounds per second vs the AR's 7.5 damage at 10 rounds per second. It had better accuracy(0.05 degree minimum error vs 0.1 minimum for the AR) and faster spread increase/decrease to reward bursting it. The sole downside is its ammo capacity, but it's unlikely you'd be getting 2 kills with an AR mag either.
>>546031243both sides of this argument have been pretty retarded. The 2fag is straight up misremembering things about CE and ironically claiming the opposite about the CEfag.The CEfag is arbitrarily dismissing CE's backtracking and wave abuse because "fun".I'm not a fence sitter by the way, I'll straight up tell you I think CE is better, but it's not night and day better and does have artificial padding flaws.
>>546031497And somehow it can't kill stuff at close range as well as the AR.
>>546031713If it's fun, what's the issue?
I love how everybody laughed at 5's english-speakjng Jackals and Ruby just went "yeah, Halo 2 needs some of that!"
>>546031905User error, works on my machine.
>>546031929every Bungie Halo game is fun
>>546031941It's only for Arbiter's missions however.
>>546025315>I don't know why that anon is complaining about the Needler, it was easily the worst gun in the first game. Halo 3 honestly perfected it by making it a decent single-wield weapon. There was no point in letting you carry 2Ammo Bank

>>546032437damn
>>546030047Is my least played and least fav of the trilogy actually. I'd like to play it more, however I'm never down for it, i always pick either CE or ODST. Maybe if someone hosted some Halo 2 matches i would join.
This just in: Halo 2 has been banned from Halofest
>>546032263I did all the time when Recon Slayer was a playlist. That was the last time I enjoyed playing Halo 3. The AR would have been potentially usable if its spread reset as fast as the SSMG's.
>no Halo 2>no Reach>just CE, 2A, 3, and 4More like MasterpieceFest
Master piece of something
>>546023415>>546031941>>546032096Arbiter being able to understand Kigyarese is so fucking stupid when you remember that the Covenant have a caste system and that Thel's mother tongue is not only the lingua franca of the empire, but also their liturgical language (Thel is a literal crusader, by the way). For what reason would Thel have learnt the language of plebeian turkeys?

Halofest is shaping up to be Custom Edition, 4, H5F, Gears 3, and Battlefield 4
Okay well that was good enough i guess. Abandoning thread now. It was nice seeing you guys.
>>546034062The Covenant's hierarchy is in the gameplay too, lmao. Have you ever seen an Elite fleeing after a Grunt officer is killed? Never, because there are no Grunt officers. Never mind that the entire Tartarus subplot in Halo 2 was about the caste system. Never mind that the Elites visibly do not respect the lower races of the Covenant.
>>546034610File fucked up
>>546032932>Recon SlayerIrrelevant as the AR is not present. It's even worse in Recon Slayer since it has to compete with the MP Automag. In the MCC exclusive maps and the heavy variants of Last Resort and Longshore, you're better off just sticking with the AR.
The Endless has arrived
>>546036457Forced
>>546001129If we go by Jaime's words, Halo 3 was being taken over by a proto-343 of Frankie and the boys already under the hood, even if mostly for terminal lore shit. It stands to reason that Reach wasn't necessarily "Bungie's last Halo", bur rather more "343's step stool to taking over Halo". Everything that's happened since is built off of what it put down more than any other game, to the point of the new remake using Reach directly. It's like goddamn poetry. And I don't even really hate Reach much, but you can see everything fit together from that point.
Bleach is the root of all.
>>546033934lol
>>546036159>you're better off just sticking with the AR.Why? The SSMG is a straight upgrade. Same damage output, better accuracy, better range, better ability to keep at a higher rate of fire without sacrificing accuracy.
>>546039068I've never ever lost an dual against an SSMG while using the AR. There's a good reason why everyone ignore them on Edge, Icebox and Waterfall.
>>546039201Maybe you've never played against anyone with thumbs, because I melt people all the time with it.

Why doesn't Halo Wars play like Graviteam Tactics?
Just play the TableTop at that point.
Why doesn't Halo Wars play like Command & Conquer?

>just finished Halo 4 on legendary for achievementsHoly FUCK this is literally the worst Halo game ever made. It's all the WORST parts of every other game, amplified, with none of the good. I can't even think of a positive. MAYBE one or two of the soundtracks? Jesus Christ.
I find it hilarious that Locke was actually kind of likeable in the short H2A cutscene5 really was a dogshit game wasn't it?
>>546043357Have you done Spartan Ops solo on Legendary yet?
>>546041334Command and Conquer is shit. Only simulationist games matter. Which is why Halo needs to forge itself into the first accessible mainstream milsim shooter and transform the FPS industry again (by making everything into a milsim)
>>546042740This is one of the worst C&C games
>>546044251Fuck off.Milsimfags are the footfags of shooters.
>>546043671No. And I don't know if I want to. I don't really wanna touch Halo 4 again.
>>546044384It's the best one. The only fault it has is the soundtrack is boring. Not even bad, just whatever.
>>546044463An assault rifle should put down a grunt in three shots and an elite in about 10. An overcharged plasma shot should instakill a Spartan with half shields. Problem?
>>546044923Literally just play on easy.
>>546044923>Problem?Nope, cause that ain't ever happening.
>>546045061We will get book-accurate gameplay or Halo Studios will be shot to pieces. Those are your choices.
>>546043570Yeah, the disconnect between everything about Halo 5 is honestly insane.

>>546045735THIS!
>>546045758Because CE was a labor of love.
>>546045650>there is the blacklist
>>546045735True. It's the most palatable way to play Halo 4.
>>546045758literally raw luckThis is not to say the team wasn't capable and talented, they were, but the game was heavily rushed to completionThis is why they couldn't never replicate how satisfying it is to fight the enemiesIt's like that episode of Keenan and Kel where they throw a bunch of random shit into a blender and miraculously create a cure for the common cold, bit can never remember the exact ingredients to do it again

Just simple things like>shields down, go behind something>shields down, he's in my face, berserk>throw grenade when I see lots of dudes>run when boss diesI think it's like 10 states in total for the AI in CE?With animations and vfx to show exactly what's up, and voice cues as well. And it always happens when the stimuli is met.Plus level design. Can't dodge behind cover unless firing points behind shit are assigned as defensive after all. But even that's simple, really.And of course the Lebel/Howard/Jones approach to balancing weapons vs enemies/vs player.Fucking incoherent ramble, hope it makes sense.

What other video game series have that have been going for over 20 years all have one connected storyline? So not stuff like Mario or final fantasy, or Zelda which are very loosely connected. There's metal gear, but that ended a decade ago.bI think this is what held Halo back, at a structural level. Once Halo 3 was done, that was it, It would have taken a miracle to satisfactorily continue the plot, and 343 missed it. Other shooters don't have to deal with this, as each new game can be its own thing for the most part.

I wish more modders made vidocs like this. Makes me hyped to play their mods. Trailers are good too, but a full explanation of your thought process behind each change is even better. And it makes it easier to be on the lookout for those changes while I'm playing. Sometimes you don't really notice everything new on the first playthrough.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGmZWccoM-o

>>546048320>I don't think I've ever played Dominion, actually.ItXs like the best parts of Invasion and Warzone mixed together but better
I think Ruby is alright.I don't get the haters.
>>546050032Megaman? I think even the X spinoff series is loosely connected to the original series.Metroid for sure. Previous games are directly referenced in the newer ones.Basically any Star Wars game, but that's probably out of the scope you're discussing about. It's a massive franchise.Street FighterTekken for sureA lot of fighting games, now that I think about it. They need to reuse assets so naturally it makes sense for characters to return and plots to move forward with them instead of making a brand new game every sequelWarcraft/WoWConnected storylines are fine, it's just that if it's a galaxy or worldwide threat where the enemies keep getting stronger until you're basically fighting gods, it just gets a little silly after a while. I think they're better with more down-to-earth plots/enemies. So a world with a timeline with events happening and each game happens in that world. Star Wars unironically was pretty good about it (until the reset) since you can basically have a galaxy full of stuff happening and not one story would mess with another one, even when you were dealing with Sith/Jedi. It's great for mercenary/bounty hunter stuff. We need more stuff like Mandalorian that focuses on the underbelly of that universe, where you're mostly dealing with bandits, gangs, and the occasional corrupt Imperial Officer. We don't need a new galactic threat ever sequel for games. This is where Halo messed up. They could have branched out and made the universe feel bigger by adding smaller stories like Reach or ODST, but they chose to focus on galactiv threats only Chief could solve and now the universe feels so small. It feels like there's nothing happening unless Chief is around to save the day.Imagine being a super-soldier for hire and you get to fight Covenant terrorists, Bansished space pirates, Innie rebels, and the occasional rogue Spartan or ONI agent. Meanwhile you travel to the outer rims of different systems to deal with shady characters/orgs
>>546054402What they should've done is make a Headhunter spinoff that plays like the Wolf reboot (TNO and Old Blood specifically) where you have the choice to play legitimate stealth or go guns blazing
@Grok, summarize the wordslop above.
>>546046836>Shut thy hell up and begone, chud.
Several game franchises like Mega Man, Metroid, Street Fighter, Tekken, and Warcraft feature connected storylines across sequels, often reusing assets in fighting games. The poster prefers grounded, parallel tales in expansive worlds—like Mandalorian-style underbelly crime—over escalating galactic threats, criticizing Halo for shrinking its universe by centering only on Master Chief.

Solid thread.I've had a few good laughs.
>>546009971hug gruntos
>>546058519Reach Evolved is now a stupid firefight mode because the developer won't focus on finishing the campaign or the pvp multiplayer despite all those test build releases years go. At least the other guy is a campaign focused modder and isn't constsntly distracted with other nonsense.

Things that I want from a remake of the trilogy:>Bring Michael Wincott back as Prophet of Truth, or at least someone who sounds like him.>Write Prophet of Truth a bit more consistently between 2 and 3>Add missions back in that were cut from the original for time and/or budget reasons>Do a better job linking 2 and 3, maybe have a couple of levels aboard the dreadnaught>Mix up 3 a little bit. By the time you fight your third Scarab, it starts to get a little stale. >Give Gravemind a larger presence in 3. Have him actually show up, rather than just leave you voicemails>Heavily rework the finale of 3. A reheated Warthog run always felt really goddamn anticlimactic to me.

>>546080004>Write Prophet of Truth a bit more consistently between 2 and 3Truth should've been calm and soothing in Halo 3 just as he was in Halo 2; I dunno why they changed him from a political operator into an angry senile bastard. Literally nothing Truth says throughout the whole of Halo 3 is intelligent, lmao. I would've liked to see a Truthcast in Halo 3 where he pays respect to Tartarus to play into the Brutes' ego and galvanise them against the heretics.
>>546058793it's lamenting the death of an era when video games were fun for the sake of fun, and not just a fucking chore.exploration used to be encouraged by devs. games used to leave entire dead zones of maps that served no purpose unlocked, but were fun just to walk around.what is the harm of letting the player drive 200 yards into the ocean? it's just fun. it makes the world feel just that much more alive.
>>546086578I liked the idea that Truth always knew that the whole "Great Journey" thing was a load of shit, but rolled with it anyway in order to keep the other races in check, especially the Elites. As long as he was in the Ark when he fired the rings, it wouldn't matter as long as he was still around to rule over whatever was left, the last trace of the true rulers of the galaxy finally wiped out for good. This theory admittedly worked a lot better when humans were still the descendants of the Forerunner.
>>546086578>Tartarus fought valiantly for our Covenant. And yet with the Sacred Icon in his own hands, he was betrayed by the Arbiter at the cusp of our salvation. But let his sacrifice inspire us, for his murder exposed the treachery that has long poisoned our ranks. It is because of his sacrifice that we are now guided along the path unimpeded. We shall never forget the noble Tartarus.
>>546077949there's /hg/ halofest and 343 halo fest343's was always irrelevant but in the wake of CEmake they're pushing another oneSo we might have to change the name
>>546086994fair
>>546087265It's yet another thing they changed in 3 to help bring a sense of finality to it all.People say it's just the new VA but it' clearly in the writing too.I'd be fine with the remake changing 3 truth to be more in line with 2.
>>546088171/hg/ has been doing halofest for almost 9 years.And now you're going to cave and change the name because of something 343 is doing?That has to be the weakest most beta shit I have ever heard of here.
>>546087265Truth always believed in the Great Journey; the only conspiracy is that he knew the Forerunners were human, and started a war with humanity to protect his own clerical position.
>>546088546this is all bookshit either way
>>546086578>I dunno why they changed him from a political operator into an angry senile bastardThey did state in the Halo 2 dev commentary that they didn't think he was as much as a villain as they wanted people to think, so maybe that's why?>>546087265>Truth always knew that the whole "Great Journey" thing was a load of shit, but rolled with it anyway in order to keep the other races in check, especially the ElitesFor the longest time before playing 3, this is what I thought was the actual case. He was just playing along with the lie, all to hold his seat at the top of the hierarchy, after securing it by getting rid of Regret and Mercy. You can imagine my disappointment when he was revealed to be just as delusional as Tartarus in 3.
>>546088579>I see now why they left you behindNo it isn't.
>>546088672This is as vague and meaningless as Frankie's terminals.Halo 3 is poorly written, and bookshit is bookshit.Yes, 3 ruined Truth. It ruined a lot of things.
Every time you guys talk and argue about the lore from the first 3 games it's the most cringe shit.It's not like any of you are changing anyone else's minds. It's just going to end with you calling each other retarded for not agreeing.
>>546088849You're not wrong, but>NO! STOP TALKING ABOUT HALO!you're also kinda gay
>>546088629>>546087265If Truth thought the Great Journey was a lie then he wouldn't have given Tartarus the Index and sent him to activate Halo. Religious fanatics cna still be calculating and Machiavellian towards their religious goals, eg every clerical state ever.
>>546088767>This is as vague and meaningless as Frankie's terminals.No it isn't, Truth calls Johnson a god lol, he even leans into his ear to tell him these things so that the Brutes don't hear. You can't get much clearer than that. Halo 3 is poorly written, but this also isn't "bookshit".
>>546089057Truth never thought the journey was a lie. That's OOC headcanon nonsense that autists cope about to try to jam the round peg of Halo 3 into the square hole of halo 2.Bungie was very clear in the ViDocs that they intentionally did away with existing plot points and simplified the game so people wouldn't be confused (No more Hunter/Grunt allies, etc. etc.)I'm not even hating on them for it. The overwhelming majority of people playing Halo 3 were incoming PS2 converts who didn't know shit.At the end of the day ut' a video game first and foremost and the more you try to think about the little details in the lore, the more you're going to find imperfections. To this day it's embarrassing that some fans actually accept 343's cope excuse about subspecies and nanomachines in Halo 4 when that very clearly isn't what is actually going on.
>>546043671How long does this take
>>546089553It's longer than the campaign. Especially if you die a lot.
>>546089251My read on it is that her very clearly is not a God in Truth's eyes. He leans in to pour it on personally so to speak. So no it' not that clear. The fact that you and I, and the community even is still debating these details almost 2 decades later proves it's not clear. You can go ahead and just call everyone that disagrees with you retarded, but it won't end the conversation.>Halo 3 is poorly writtenexactly
Halo 2 is also poorly written, but yall are not ready for that conversationThe only actually well written halo game is CE
>>546043357The 5 is worse>>546043671Tbh I think Spartan ops was better than the main campaign, there were a couple of cool maps in there>>546047163>>Why does CE's AI still mog everything?>I think it's a combination of simplicity and readability.This isn't just true for the AI, I posted about this a few threads ago but if you look at the damage tables on Halopedia from game to game you can really trace the decline in quality as the series goes on, it goes from nice and simple in CE to a wall of unnecessary and cluttered niggerbabble in subsequent titles that's all for naught because most of the sandbox feels similarly (in)effective against most of the oppositionhttps://www.halopedia.org/Damage_types
>>546089803was infinite desuthey were already more prepared on that front
>>546089708I also always thought it was him trying to break him morally to make him just give up hope and stop resisting. I have never once heard anybody mention the Brutes in the room as being relevant to the conversation, especially since plenty of what he says about "needing help" is not whispered closely. But I do like that theory. I kind of disagree with you guys. I like that some of this stuff is more up for interpretation. It makes it interesting to talk about.
>>546090097>I like that some of this stuff is more up for interpretation. It makes it interesting to talk about.People on the autism spectrum often can't into nuance and theory. They need things to be black and white for them to be at peace with them. It's the reason they're so good at mathematics but suck at the humanities and art.
I took a break from 5 after last week to go on a work trip.Came back and just beat the "Kamino" level. I see now why someone here called it that.Are they really just going to keep recycling the same bad boss fight over and over. I literally don't know why this guy is important to the story at all.Also Hunters are bullshit in this game.
>>546090378If there is one thing I will give the remake credit for it looks like they have finally perfected Hunters.They're a slightly beefier version of CE.
>>546090084Infinite is one of the worst written storyline i have ever experienced in a video game.Halo 5's is horribly executed but probably could have been done better.
>>546090584Atriox Bros...

It's important to have the correct mindset about campaign v multiplayer. That being that a true Halo game is a campaign experience first and foremost.I'd be perfectly fine with the CE remake having firefight or some other PvE mode as its "multiplayer" offering for this reason.Halo CE/1 had multiplayer thrown in the game in the last few months of development for the same reason any multiplayer was in a console game at the time, it was just expected to be there. The campaign WAS the game, and the multiplayer was extra. Now, it did turn out to be really good and pretty addicting, but it's important to understand that this existed in mostly a party game atmosphere. Yes, there were comp tournaments, but they are not representative of the average Halo CE multiplayer session.Halo 2, or really rather Xbox Live, changed this, and set this unrealistic standard of Halo multiplayer being the face of the series. It was never meant to last, but it stuck, even as CoD 4 and onwards drained the popularity 3 years later.tl;drA PVE-only game is sorely needed at this point to correct this wrongdoing and artificial ballooning of Halo's multiplayer to be its core identity.

Halo fan here, tricked you I fucking hate Halo HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHA FUCK YOU HALO LOSER
>>546091871Multiplayer slop "balancing" is why Halo CE is the only Halo with a decent shotgun.
>>546089057He gave Tartarus the key to kill everyone while he teleported to the safe bunker (the Ark was on earth and slipspace was teleportation in H2).
>tfw 1:00am and racking my brain for free trying to figure out how I would balance a .357 alongside the CE pistol even though I'll never ever be in charge of this shitI think single load weapons are kino and we need more of them (but not the hydra)
>>546093458Do you want "realistic" balance or video game logic balance (revolver = stronger than autos because reasons)?
>>546093416Not him but Halo 2 is confusing about why exactly it's a problem if Delta Halo gets activated. Even Cortana seems to indicate that Tartarus needs to be stopped.
>>546085908
>>546093751H1 says that firing one also sets off the others.
>>546091353No.
>>546093707Not him, but I think a Halo Revolver should be an humiliation weapon.
>>546092167>>546092524>Bad Company 2>Mega Man 10>Ghost Trick>Vanquish>Just Cause 2>Xenoblade Chronicles>War for Cybertron>Valkyria Chronicles II>Darksiders>VVVVVV>Birth By Sleep>Peace Walker>No More Heroes 2>Scott Pilgrim vs the World2010's games fucking rocked. If you think it was barely any better than 2025, you're a moron.
>>546093751>why exactly it's a problem if Delta Halo gets activatedBecause it will kill all life within 25,000 lightyears. That's no good.
>>546093458>>546094465I was thinking 3 shot just like the pistol, fires slower (has to cycle), but a bit more accurate (longer barrel to signify this)So it loses to the CE pistol in a firefight, but is a better noob combo finisher, and isn't as good under pressure, although being able to single-load just one or two more bullets could bail you out of a sticky situationThe concern is, would this put the CE pistol out of a job in campaign since the combo is the bread and butter of covenant combat... but if I were in charge the player would be under a lot more pressure than in a typical modern Halo campaign. More timed wave fights like in T&R, more instances of enemies coming from multiple directions, more rushing/berserking
>>546093458Make it a power weapon that forces a stagger on larger targets, ones strong enough to survive a direct hit, but also make it insta-kill if it hits a headshot, even on fully shielded elites. Make it penetrate through weaker targets, like grunts and jackals. Also, give it a shitton of blowback and proper animations to really sell that you're firing what is essentially a hand cannon, so much so that even a Spartan struggles with its recoil a little bit. Could also balance it out by making it ineffective against vehicles larger then a mongoose or ghost.
>>546093458>>546093707ack meant to reply to you instead of myself
>>546094465Revolvers haven't really added much to the game so far
>>546095158>The concern is, would this put the CE pistol out of a job in campaign since the combo is the bread and butter of covenant combat..Welcome to every CE modders dilemma for 20 years lmao.
>>546091353Halo 3 is new Halo not classic Halo. Classic Halo is Halo 1 and Halo 2.
>>546094465I've always struggled with the idea of a UNSC revolver given their standard issue sidearm fires basically a rimless .500 magnum.
>>546091164thanks for not getting angry.. that’s a lot to ask here lolsorry for not replying then.. I just posted and closed the tab
>>546091353Classic Halo movement speed has never felt better.
>>546091969>>546092739the first halohater that actually made me laugh
>>546094746these are all mid at best
>The Brutes control that cruiser, Arbiter. I'll remain here, make sure no reinforcements get in behind you. Then, I'm going to take the cruiser back!What I want them to do in the Halo 2 remake is change this to a carrier, to imply that it's the Shadow of Intent.
>>546095285that brute revolver is imo the only new satisfying weapon in infinite
>>546092624that gun always strikes me as a shotgun at first glance
>>546097849For me, it's the Skewer. That has replaced the Sniper Rifle and Spartan Laser in my eyes. I think that should be the new sniper rifle and banshee killer moving forward. But I'm not in charge.
>>546094746>Scott Pilgrim vs the WorldBAHAHAHAHAYou will never date Ramona, loser. Consider rope.
>>546098697Okay, but have you played the game? It's fun.
>>546098820>H-h-h-ave you p-p-played the g-g-gameTake a shower. You will never be Scott. Go outside. Embrace shame.

>>546101692Go back.
>>546101872American website; if you can't speak English, you're the one who needs to go back.
aaaiiieee?
>>546101971Post hands.
>>546102282Will you promise to speak proper English now?
>>546102605>yellow skin
>>546102605>simpson
>>546102884Right, Asiatics are famous for their non-black hair. Will you start speaking English properly or not?
Imagine getting this butthurt over a casually correct sentence lmao you're both worse than the 2fags from earlier
>>546103338>casually correctThe lack of a subjunctive is, in fact, incorrect.
>>546103389You're not as intelligent as you think you are, young one. Go back.
>>546103196Post dong next, then we'll know if you're asian.
>>546103449You're the one who thought "post hands" would prove to be some racial gotcha, despite YOU speaking English like it's your second language. Clearly you are not as clever as you think you are.
>>546103782Using a casual mode of speech does not make one an ESL, young one. Believing talking in a formal mode in a casual setting makes you look intelligent, conversely, makes you look like a know-nothing-know-it-all midwit and/or an ESL, ironically. This is not Reddit, there are no upvotes for correcting an irrelevant mistake that isn't even a mistake. Go back. And wash your hair while you're at it.
all of you shut up, or else
>>546104446>"were" is formal language???Do Americans really? Growing up as an Aussie, I thought the basketball Americans on TV were the only people who didn't use it; everybody knows how to use a god damn subjunctive because your brain categorises verbs automatically. "I wish I was" is LITERALLY on the exact same level as "WE WUZ KANGZ", which is inexcusable, and there is nothing you can do to prove that's somehow a false equivalency.
>>546104718This, but with splasers
>>546104775I didn't say it was formal, you unable to infer moron. I was referring to you pretening to be smart by typing like an encyclopaedia. Also>AussieLots of people say "I wish I was" here, as well as make countless other so-called errors when speaking. That's casual, day-to-day speech in literally every culture. It doesn't matter in the slightest if people make minor errors or use slang.Go back.
I really don't get why people don't understand Infinite was a lame duck the second they decided to switch to Unreal. That choice was literally made on the basis of cutting their losses on a game that was failing because their ancient engine made it too hard to hire sweatshop modelers to shit out content for it, everything after that was just seeing how much already in progress backlog they had and if they would bother to prop it up until a replacement was ready.What we got was a weird indecisive 343ism of supporting it up to the announcement of a new game that isn't the replacement multiplayer game, probably because marketing decided they want to shadow drop it or some shit in the meantime but instead you get community panic and HALO IS A CAMPAIGN SERIES shills and doomers.
>hg /lit/ edition
>>546105812>Lots of people say "I wish I was" hereMaybe poofters raised on hip hop. In everyday Australian speech I've only ever heard it from the Chinese lady at the local fish n chips. Also,>typing like an encyclopaediaPutting aside the fact that 4chan values high-quality posts, using the correct verb mood is not something that needs to be consciously thought about. Like I said, "I wish I was" is the same as "WE WUZ KANGZ" and shows that the speaker's brain is not equipped to handle hypothetical scenarios.
>>546099331I could see it returning as a giant crossbow or large spear gun. It doesn't need to keep the same look, just the same or similar function. Yeah agree most of the Banished weapons in Infinite are butt ugly. I think only the Stalker Rifle looks halfway decent but it's still ruined by the awkward lighting and bland texture. Its variants like pic-related look pretty good though, I wish this one was the default look.
>>546107348btw the grey metal section is a bit too Gears/Quake-like (especially the glowing red bits) but I like the red outer shell and general shape. Maybe just soften some of the grey areas to fit more with the Covenant aesthetic or make it more Banished-looking.
>>5460934582-headshot kill with a faster bullet than the pistol, but slower fire rate. Like 0.7 or 0.8 seconds between shots. It could be like a sniper you can more reliably noscope with.Depending on if you're limiting yourself to the game's original engine, you could make use of the analog trigger to make it double-action.
>>546107647>>546093458>>546095158Please no more pinpoint accurate guns. These are what ruined Halo and made it too sweaty. Halo games should have one scopeless headshot gun (Halo 2 or Halo 3 Magnum), one scoped midrange headshot gun (BR), and one long-scoped headshot sniper rifle. We don't need 10 of them in every game. Revolvers/pistols/magnums are some of the most boring weapons in video games. -Remove the DMR/Bandit, do not bring it back, even in future games-Remove the Carbine (or give it SPV3's lingering radiation dot effect, anything besides just being a covenant's version of the DMR/BR)-Sidekick can stay but nerf its fire rate even more (Let's go with the Halo 3 magnum fire rate for it) ...OR leave it as is and remove the scope.-The Mangler BARELY gets a pass; it's just unique enough to stay but I'd rather it do something interesting like the spike explodes into shrapnel after a second or two. -BR can stay but buff its fire rate between the rounds of each burst so that the bullets during the burst come out faster as a group (there's too much delay between each round of the burst), but the delay between bursts is fine as is. I would nerf its scope range slightly as well.-Stalker Rifle BARELY gets a pass. Replace it with a buffed focus rifle or a nerfed version of Halo 5's Binary Rifle.>Hell, might as well complain about the rest of the sandbox while we're here-Stop bringing back the Sentinel Beam. It's boring as a pickup weapon, buff it to power weapon status and give it a scope (Basically turn it into a buffed Focus Rifle or nerfed Binary Rifle)-Remove the pulse carbine, bring back the plasma rifle but buff the fire rate and let us spam it longer without overheating. It's a slow moving projectile so that's already a disadvantage against an AR-Remove the AR's scope, OR keep the scope and nerf the fire rate to the commando's.-Remove the Commando.I could go on.
>>546110207>-Remove the AR's scope, OR keep the scope and nerf the fire rate to the commando's.Btw, I mean nerf the fire rate when scoped. When fired unscoped, the fire rate is the normal AR fire rate. The scope should only be used as a deterrent/emergency countermeasure against scoped enemies like the BR/Sniper.
>>546110207>Halo games should have one scopeless headshot gun (Halo 2 or Halo 3 Magnum), one scoped midrange headshot gun (BR)Revolver can be scopeless, Pistol can be scoped, and just drop the BR, simple as
>continuedCindershot: Should kill on a direct hit. Nerf the projectile speed to compensate. Make the legendary version the default version so it has that massive secondary AOE but nerf that slightly.Disruptor: Delete. It's residual effect is interesting but it's actual firing method is ultra boring because it shoots slow and the projectiles are fairly fast. Nerf the projectile speed drastically but increase the AOE and damage. It feels too much like a plasma pistol as is.Heatwave: Just make it a power weapon, buff the damage and amount of projectiles shot, I never pick it up unless there's nothing else aroundMangler: Honestly if this was removed I wouldn't even notice.Remove the Mutilator and Bulldog and bring back the shotgun.Grave Hammer and Energy Sword: Stay, but maybe buff the energy sword lunge distance slightly and add more physics displacement effect to the Grav HammerMA5K Avenger: Buff the fire rate even more but nerf the damage, its still too similar to the AR. Also nerf the size so you can actually tell its supposed to be an SMGNeedler: It needs to ramp up like CE and 3, not fire at full speed right away, and nerf the projectile speed but you can buff the tracking. This gives you time to react to it, but still treat it as a legitimate threat when you know it's coming.Ravager: Remove the primary fire and make the secondary effect the new primary fire and buff the damage and AOE. And buff the max ammo, why does it run out of ammo so fast.Hydra: Buff the primary fire projectile speed and damage slightly.
>>546112014No, I'm sick of pistols. We've had them since Wolfenstein. No more pistols. One per game. You have a bonus plasma pistol too, so don't get greedy.
When I say I didn't read any of that...
>>546112331Not to mention the mangler (Revolver) and the disruptor (Machine pistol). That's 4 pistols when you include the sidekick and the plasma pistol. How many handguns do you need.
>>546112201Make the MA5K toggle burst fire when hitting the scope button.
>>546112362Saying and Doing are two different things.
>>546110207 >nerf the sidekick's fire rate to halo 3 levels>when it already takes more than half a mag to killThank God you will NEVER design a video game.
Why did 343 think mag dumping a Brute and not seeing its health bar move would be fun or interesting
>>546112331>>546112457Pistols are Halo, rifleslop is CoDAnd who said anything about the mangler or disruptor being part of the plan, the mangler in particular is >does nothing, the weapon
>>546112604Yeah, it's called the sidekick, not the main heroine. It's too spammy for its range. Remove the scope or nerf the fire rate. It should not be out-competing an AR or BR. Handguns are emergency defense weapons. They are not assault weapons. And they're boring and least-satisfying gun to shoot.
I have no idea if I'll get a serious answer here but whatever, I know there's a few other either current or ex-modder fags around.How the fuck do I do tag releases these days? All my large scale projects are dead and I don't intend to work on them ever again but I do have a lot of stuff that might be useful to someone. My current "idea" is just to stick it all on a test map(s) as a demonstration of all the stuff and have links to my github or something in the description.
Give the magnum a burst fire and keep its scope but nerf the damage per round.Remove the scope from the BR, make it single-shot but give it Covenant Carbine fire rate, and buff the damage.Remove all other scoped/headshot UNSC weapons except for the Sniper Rifle.Add the Focus Rifle but turn it into a nerfed Halo 5 Binary Rifle. 1 burst zaps shields, 2nd burst kills.Add the Needle Rifle but reduce the accuracy while removing bloom altogether. Nerf the scope distance slightly. No headshot damage but buff the damage slightly against shields so that it zaps shields with one or two less needles.
>>546113603Github works, but you could zip them up and put them on any site, really. Anything is better than Nexus.What were you working on?
>>546113603Post them on gitlab
