Microsoft literally just needs to make me in charge of Gears.I should have say over what weapons, maps, movement mechanics, enemies, cosmetics, story elements, and characters are in the game.I don't want to toot my own horn but I'm about as big of a Gears superfan as you can get, not just because I love Gears of War and grew up with it, but because I actually UNDERSTAND it.My Gears Game would be the ideal next step for the franchise, and anyone who has a problem with it or doesn't like it is just too retarded and shouldn't have a seat at the table of discussion on what Gears is and isn't in the first place.

Halo fans have always been bitches.Me and my boys tend to float around in comp games like Valorant, CS, R6 siege etc, playing one for a season and then hopping to the next.Without a doubt the biggest whiney bitches came from ranked Halo, and I think that's downstream from the fanbase as a whole.

is it true that euros and brown banana Asians don't like halo?

I like E-Day's music
>>583653559It's good.
guys how do you like my endless?
Shutup
i'm gonna kill myself
we all hope you go through with it this time
don't make a girl a promise if you know you can't keep it!i was in the ICU earlier this year, i'm sure to get it right this time.
pls do
>>583655906<3 kk
>>583654517It's not a real endless unless it has a miniature hobbit sized endless beside it.
>Back on /hg/ after a while>Thinking they'd be talking about the new Halo Recomp, where you can play 128-player mp and a 32-player campaign>There's just shitpostingI guess I should've seen that coming
>>583656331Because we know this won't last more than a month. Everyone will go back to MCC like it always happens with these ports/mods.
>>583656331>fotm slop modYeah let's just ruin the campaign with 30 more players than it was designed for, and play MP with 112 more players than it was designed for.Halo is back!!!!!
>>583656432I still see Custom Edition alive and well, with lots of people playing it. I think the difference with MCC is that these ports/mods are free and run on low-end hardware, and now they can run on Android and even the Wii, so there will always be people to play with>>583656662At least it's more active than the Halo 1 matchmaking lists on MCC
>>583656782You join these and 99% of them are afk bots.
>>583656782If you actually play Custom Edition you'd know these numbers are inflated by afk players.
It's over.
thankfully
>>583656432Reclaimer might have some staying power, considering it's a server browser that can download and play mods. Where else can people play Hugegrass with 50 players?I don't have high hopes for recompiled CE besides wacky mods, maybe.
>>583653559>I like E-Day's musicit's significantly better than the Metallica slop they threw in
>>583658390The CE one at least will have the massive backlog of 20 years worth of custom maps from Custom Edition days.The stuff I'd be super interested in for CE probably won't happen because it won't get the """engagement""" on twitter like DUDE 32 PLAYER COOP. It's shit like pushing the particle limit into the fucking sky, triangle limits per cluster being raised, ect, ect.
>>583658390>Hugegrass with 50 playerNot Halo.
>>583656331Friend, I just found out about Project Reclaimer a couple days ago. I played Campaign tonight earlier with a lobby full of 16 people (myself included). Honestly can say it’s probably the most fun I’ve ever had with Halo since the 360 days.How do I get in on the Halo CE version? Is there a Halo 2, or ODST version otw?
>>583664265you have to join a discord for CE to work
>>583657015>>583657081I just joined a random one and met some really friendly people, and they ended up adding me to their community serverThere will always be afk players, but they're never the majority>>583664265I haven't tried Project Reclaimer yet, but I'll get to it later. I've also heard good things about itAs for CE, in the case of the Custom Edition, download it from https://archive.org/details/halo-custom-edition-v-1.10 and to get the graphical and performance improvements from MCC, along with other enhancements, use this https://github.com/SnowyMouse/chimera The best part is that the weapons no longer stutter at 30 fps, and the game is better optimized for high resolutionsFor Halo Recomp https://github.com/OpenCommunityEdition/OpenCE/ You’ll need the .xiso file for the xbox version, download it from here https://vimm.net/vault/15480For Halo 2, use the Project Cartographer https://www.halo2.online/home/ and for ODST, there's nothing available at the moment, or as far as I know
>>583664312You don't need to join discord, the vast majority of people playing are just random people, you just need the files from github and that's it

Is it too early to say Siege is better than Horde?
Gears E-Day Ultimate Firefight Series
>>583694323>Is it too early to say Siege is better than Horde?Nah Siege is litHorde is also great, but they're both fun enough that it's up to personal preference
If they focus 100% of the post-game content on Siege features the game can unironically go down as a classicSeriously, fuck PvP. It can be there, but don't waste resources on it.

so cute
>>583697931I find they aren’t usually happy until they have complete control over what you can say and do. Honestly it’s crazy how much an open VC with zero moderation adds to the feeling of classic halo multiplayer.

Folded Forms
I saw HiddenXperia at a grocery store in England yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Carrier Forms in his hands without paying.The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.When she took one of the Carrier Forms and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any copium infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each Carrier Form and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

>>583713795Everybody that's playing it is either on Xbox, using gamepass, or bothsee >>583706265That all being said, I do think this will be used as the excuse to gut gamepass ultimate benefits significantly.I wouldn't be surprised if the ultimate tier goes away completely.
Why is GoW E-Day attracting so many grifters? What's causing this?
>>583714979>why is shiny new thing attracting griftersShit, I dunno.
>>583714979Influencers need their paycheck.
>>583714038ball knower
>>583714038There is no reason for the Ultimate tier to exist if the subscriber base isn't growing, and the subscriber base isn't growing because the console base isn't growing.Game Pass won't be profitable until the masses feel like buying an Xbox is worth their while again.Sony can get all the bad publicity that chuds and retards on the internet can throw at it, but at the end of the day it's still the console everybody is buying for GTA6 right now.
>>583714979propaganda and/or money. it's every single release. note how every grifter account acts like they're lifelong fans of whatever franchise that's getting a new game.
escharum did that btw
>>583714038gamepass cuts and price increases were announced as soon as shawarma took over.real shame because it was a very good idea but it'd only be sustainable if xbox dominated the market.
>>583714038none of that is remotely true
This could have been very bad if we were playing on higher difficulties.
>>583714979 Because its easy money and horse shoe theory is accurate pick your flavor of whiney faggot and you'll find it. Life was easy when this was containment
does anyone know what part of the OST plays during this bit on emergence day?the music is a redeeming feature
>>583714038all of this is true
>not a kigger postthats enough cheeks
Wanted to focus leveling up the other classes but fuck this is gonna take a while without a dedicated group. I'm gonna stick to assault for now and re-up till I get all the rewards.

Think the next Halo is going to come to PC or is it gonna be stuck on some shitter console?
>>583744615Steam and Xbox like E-Day is im sure.
>>583745120That's good I guess, even though I probably won't even buy it anyway.
>>583736121Why would I not play in my native language? I do switch to English sometimes though. I played most of the campaign in English.
I used to play games in other languages and I'd roleplay as a guy that got stuck in the situation and was trying my best to understand what was going on. I played FEAR in FRENCH like that on my 3rd playthrough.

I've gotten to a point where Siege feels too short and Horde takes too long. I would play Allfather Sieges more but that difficultly is full of scrubs at the moment.
>>583653559HAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>open twitter>my algorithm has been halo dominated ever since the long awaited demise of 343i>see retards shitflinging about how halo isn't space opera it's actually military sci-fiYou know what, you lot are actually fucking galaxy brain intellect compared to Halo twitter.
>>583776936you ok?
>>583784885probably not
>>583784006Reachtards are even more retarded than 343tards, they should just go back to CoD
>>583785080reach players should go back to codor play one of 343s default sprint, no descope, fully customizable loadouts, killcam games
>>583785080My favourite Reachtard thing was them going on for years that "nooo Reach isn't influenced by CoD it's just a natural continuation of Halo!!!".And then Niles this year said straight up CoD4 and MW2 were massive influences on it lmao.
>>583786521nta, but you know; I personally wasn’t a huge fan of reach. The campaign was pretty ok, and firefight was alright too, but all in all it was definitely no Halo 3.
>>583786875My favourite 4babbie thing was them going on for years that "nooo Reach is influenced by CoD 4s just a natural continuation of Halo!!!".The forever 4bab "trick" to target Reach because they can't accept that 4 is the worst game in the franchise. Reach is the worst Bungie game, but even that is far better than 4s abomination
>>583787250You're doing the "b-b-but Halo 4" thing I posted about a few threads ago.No one was talking about Halo 4.
>>583787216Campaign was ok, multiplayer was a step down from 2 and 3 and more "casual" than fans expected.Forge was a step forward.Visually? I was not a fan of their washed out colouring. 3 is peak because it's the full package of a game. It's not the best campaign in the trilogy but the multiplayer was great, introduction of Forge, Customs were fun, the whole benefit of Machinima and launching simultaneously at YouTubes peak also, Xbox Lives peak and the community was also at its peak.There will never be another Halo 3 mainly because of all of the other factors outside of the game. People are chasing an era that cannot be replicated and thus Halo will always fail>>583787417Because the same 4bab arguments are transparent as fuck and as you said we've already gone down that road for multiplayer threads. The sooner 4babs can accept that their game is the worst game in the franchise the better.
>>583787216Reach is the jack of all trades, master of none, of bungie HaloThere is more to do in the game out of the box than any other title, but there also isn't a single thing it does that another game doesn't do better, and often much better at that.The DMR really just is the biggest problem with the game. It ruins the sandbox worse than the Pistol or BR ever did.

>game is the best because [x was a cool thing to live through]Largely irrelevant.A great game is great regardless of nostalgia.
que onda?
>>583788740Reach's sandbox wouldn't be good even without the DMR. The balance between the 3 headshot weapons is rather tight, but everything else trails so far behind that none of it is ever worth considering.You'd be able to run around like a headless chicken on Hemorrhage, but your AR would still take more than half a mag to kill anything under perfect circumstances.
>>583788740The campaign was decent but I don't think it was this amazing experience that a lot of people tout.The multiplayer I think was one of the best in the series. The various abilities expanded on the formula without ruining the "Halo" feel. It didn't feel too CoDified like Halo 4 did.It was also the best custom games/Forge experience. Sure the new Forge's were technically better with all of the extra options but basically no one played Custom Games on Halo 4 onwards.
>>583792425if you think it was irrelevant/is irrelevant you either missed that period or you're a social retard (maybe had no friends?). It may sound foreign to you if you are retarded or autistic but the times really did have a MASSIVE impact on certain releases and whilst I understand what you're saying, you're wrong
>>583793320>basically no one played Custom Games on Halo 4 onwards.It depends on what you consider to be custom games. That's where 90% of my playtime in 4 and 5 was. Just getting into testing lobbies to play the maps people were making.
>>583793430halo 4 customs were dead at launch.5 had customs for around the first year after they released the browser
>>583793430>>583793589Also since Halo 4 didn't even have Infection (just Flood) for a while it also facilitated custom games just not developing like they otherwise did in 3 and reach. They possibly still could have had a decent population even with the games population dying if customs had a solid foundation from launch
>>583793889That's what I mean when I ask what you define as customs. After the tuning update released, there were plenty of people playing and making maps for promod.
>>583794162By Customs I mean a large interactive community that play often and generate a lot of content.Halo 4 had a very niche community. It launched because typical 343 thought they can do whatever the fuck they want as it's their franchise now, and launched with Flood which was massively restrictive when it came to customization. They probably wouldn't have even released infection if people weren't pissed off but like every change that came with updates in 4 there was no one around to witness them.There's no denying it either when there are graphs showing the total population and the monumental drop that never recovered.
>>583794982So it doesn't count as playing and making content if the playerbase is smaller? Forgehub was still active back in 4 and 5.It seems needlessly reductive to make custom games out as only Infection minigames.
The voice actor for the Prophet of Truth changed in Halo 3 because Michael Wincott, who voiced the character in Halo 2, chose not to reprise his role.• Halo 2 Voice Actor: Michael Wincott provided a deep, gravelly, and politically calculated voice for the character.• Halo 3 Voice Actor: Terence Stamp replaced him, portraying Truth as a louder, more frantic and fanatical zealot.• Character Shift: Beyond the actor change, fans note that Truth's writing also shifted from a manipulative schemer in Halo 2 to an unhinged doomsday cult leader in Halo 3.
>>583795245Of course it doesn't really count if a game has such a tiny community. Look at other franchises where the difference in community is strikingly obvious, such as Runescape. The community in Runescape 3 means nothing because it's so tiny and eclipsed by OSRS.Also weird comment about Infection when it's been the basic backbone and fundamental game mode for Customs since 3 due to how flexible it is. Are you going to make out that i'm implying people only played or cared about "zombies" and minigames? Just because Fat Kid, Duck Hunt and Jenga were the most popular modes. It's funny because they all use infection as well come to think about it. Not even having basic infection until community backlash is pretty unbelievable but it is 343
>>583795760Thanks Grok.
>>583795867>Of course it doesn't really count if a game has such a tiny community.I think it's ridiculous that you only consider custom games if it's got Halo 3's population backing it. People were still playing custom maps and modes back then.>Are you going to make out that i'm implying people only played or cared about "zombies" and minigames? You're not implying it, you're outright saying it in both this post and in >>583793889Are you the kind of person who holds that belief that you should never play "matchmaking" modes like Slayer or CTF in customs because "you can just go play matchmaking for that"?
>>583795760>because Michael Wincott, who voiced the character in Halo 2, chose not to reprise his role.Because they used his voice in ads without asking him.
>>583797536What a fucking retard.
>>583795867It's a culture thing. Back in Halo 3 and Reach custom games were so widely popular you could get basically everyone to hop on and play them. People could send a message to all of the people on their recently played list and get a full lobby. Make friends, etc. The 343 era the only people playing custom games were the autists.
....THEY are not going to like that one
>>583796660Where did I say it only matters if it's Halo 3 size population? Holy christ what a "Reach". Reach's population was also a big drop from 3s btwAlso bloody hell mate, get some reading comprehension. Each time I'm mentioning infection i'm mentioning how integral it is to customs because of its flexibility and how it's the most used mode as the backbone.ANOTHER "Reach" about the whole Slayer CTF shit. Completely ridiculous comparison to matchmaking. I could be a retard like you and imply ctf and slayer are also just used for playing slayer and ctfYou can't hide your Halo 4 bias mate and your refusal to admit you're probably in the smallest minority in the fanbase.
>>583796660Also this guy is spot on >>583798438You're one of the autists.4 never had a population TO have a Customs community

Track, not football, so I'm not calling myself a megachad or anything, but I had friends yes.> It may sound foreign to you if you are retarded or autistic but the times really did have a MASSIVE impact on certain releases and whilst I understand what you're saying, you're wrongI was there. Halo 3 is great.My point is if we're just talking about how good the game actually is, "you just had to be there man" is not a good argument. The game should stand on its own merits regardless of the time it is being engaged with.tl;dr if you can say the game "is" great, it probably is.If you have to say it "was" great, it probably isn't.

>>583802679>Gears 2 was always considered better than 3Well this is new.
>>583802679this
>>583803420>3 has a better hordeIsn't that most of what matters?
>>583805861It's a big part of the replayability, arguably the biggest one part, but it's not going to alone make up for everything else.2 still has a better campaign, story, weapon balancing, versus, art design, music, and overall general aesthetic.It's also not like 2's horde is that much worse anyway.Just as you can see the destiny design influence popping up in Reach, you can see a lot of proto-Fortnite influence in Gears 3.
Did they fix the keyboard controls in E? Beta was garbage. Or do I have to use controller.
