I like Gaylo but this game definitely aged like milk unlike Half Life and DOOM
>>
let me guess, filtered by the library?
>>
>>740307567
Yeah 1 hour of the same corridors is pretty fucking boring.
>>
eh i dunno half life and doom are mid and bleak compared to halo. doom is just mindless killing demon hoardes, half life is a scientist with overcast taking-down-the-system mission outline stuff, while halo is you being the top of the line supersoldier defeating a fucking armada of enemies threatening your world on their own ships and planets. the setting is way more interesting.
>>
>>740307464
it got a remaster in 2011 or something

play that
>>
>>740307464
I thought it was a little too empty. The maps could have been shrunk down to keep it more engaging.
>>
>>740307464
The fuck are you talking about? First halo game is the only one that is still totally playables today.
>>
>>740307464
Master Chief collection makes it better. but yeah Halo 2 massively improved on the previous entry.
>>
>>740307464
Lucky for you they are remaking it for the modern audience
>>
>>740307464
I was actually getting ready to play this again, it's been like 15 years. Hopefully there's an easy resolution fix like there is for GTA.
>>
has a game done a better escape sequence than halo? being on the warthog while the main theme played so kino...
>>
>>740307909
Halo 2 has terrible pacing and is just an action game for teenagers. Halo: CE was an actually thoughtful game with a good story.
>>
DOOM is the most outdated FPS in history nimrod
>>
I'm assuming OP meant Doom3 because nobody played the old games for longer than 10 minutes.

Because Half Life is so much fun ,right? lol
>>
>>740308016
most people fight over Halo 2 VS 3. no one thinks the first one was the best. i know a fake halo fan when i see one.
>>
>>740308115
everyone that isn't 5 years old did
>>
>>740308190
I did not own a fagbox and I did not ever have windows vista to get halo 2 shitty port working on PC. I had CE and I love it. Never played halo otherwise except local multiplayer. But I know the 2nd game starts in a much crazier shootout with a city being attacked instead of a spaceship being boarded and you crash landing in a lonely part of an unknown halo device. Halo2 has no wonder, no whimsy. It is merely a multiplayer game with a campaign slapped on. CE was a single player experience with multiplayer included.
I'd say the same thing about CoDMod and CoDMod2.
>>
>>740308125
Halo CE legendary gameplay is only using the magnum and plasma pistols and sitting back where the enemy AI can’t hit you
>>
>>740307464
>unlike Half Life and DOOM
good one
its more modern than them either of those
>>
>>740308542
Halo 2 is actually challenging and fun. Halo CE is two hour levels of doing the same thing over and over again.
>>
i liked 1, couldn't get through 2, i do not want to play as the fucking aliens i want to shoot them dead
>>
>>740307464
I agree, but I was never much of a console kiddy so i have no real attachment to Halo.
>>
>>740307682
it takes you one hour?
takes me like 2 hrs to finish the game on normal
>>
>>740308705
that Library level is aids, and they have the audacity to say halo 2 has bad pacing.
>>
>>740308745
>Playing halo 1 on anything but legendary
Why even bother? It is most enjoyable on the hardest difficulty with a bro
>>
>>740307682
But enough about DOOM
>>
>>740308705
It's called ATMOSPHERE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE IT IN YOU HEATHEN
>>
Heroic is the intended way to play though erlybeitest?
>>
>>740308745
Assault on the control room by itself takes 1 hour and 30 minutes, and that’s if you don’t die at all.
>>
>>740307464
>Half Life
Someone post that webm of the shotgun that hits point blank and can't damage the enemy
>>
>>740308923
Meh even Halo 2 on legendary isn’t even hard, if you play on heroic. You’re a bitch.

Halo is the only game with cool cinematic transitions and music cues. That moment you fly up the canyon in Two Betrayals and Pillar of Autumn suite starts playing. Being hit with an overwhelming sense of isolation and the fate of the universe on the line. Walking out the tunnel to an epic battle between Flood and Covenan to Under Cover of Night. No other game captures the raw heroism and scale of Halo
>>
>>740307464
It was rushed to meet the Xbox launch date. The first half is pretty great, and it's what most people remember.
The second half has a LOT of copy/paste levels and "same map but backwards" because they were short on time.
>>
>>740309175
They do enough with the repeat levels to make them feel different. The Maw is barely a repeat level in my eyes. And I love the trope of coming back to an earlier part of the story and seeing how it's changed. Halo's gameplay is dynamic enough and the ai is so good that you can just mix enemies around in the same room and it's still fun.
>>
>>740309321
The AI is just elites hiding like bitches and flood rushing you.
>>
>>740307464
Doom is dogshit. Halo and HL are fine in todays standard.
>>
>>740308637
it's called skill
>>
For me it's two betrayals
>>
>>740309445
Halo enemies having self preservation is what makes ai good and fun to fight. And sometimes it catches you off guard because Elites can become more feral and aggressive when their shields are down and just whack you dead in one swoop as sort of a last resort. It's very dynamic and unpredictable.
>>
>>740308125
9mm lol

>>740308125
It kind of looks like the bullets got deflected by his helmet. Rare instance of helmets actually being effective in games?
>>
>>740308828
2 people and it still takes you an hour?
>>740308953
theres a huge shortcut, are you a noob?
>>
>>740310365
What’s the point of playing the game if you just take shortcuts. You’re an NPC

Why are we comparing Halo to Half-Life and Doom? HL and Doom have way more in common with each other than they do with Halo. It's not a very good comparison. I happen to like all three.
>>
>>740310410
how tf is it taking you 90 minutes without it? LOL
>>
>>740307464
Gaylow and Half-Gay didn't age at all, they're just as shitty as when they came out
>>
>>740310456
what fps do you like?
>>
>>740310450
Youre a TikTok attention span retard playing on normal, pipe down.
>>
>>740310705
NINTEY MINUTES YOURE TRASH BRO ahahahhaa
>>
>>740310516
He's obviously a quake tranny
>>
>>740310836
liar nobody plays quake

and quake would be the last thing a tranny plays...maybe quake champions but even then
>>
>>740310741
Yes the level takes 90 minutes without shortcuts and speed tranny tricks.

I’m playing the game the way it was designed dumbfuck

>>740307464
Best game in the franchise still and the only one that gets better the more you play it. Repetition is only bad on your first playthrough. For people who know all the levels in the series like the back of their hand repetition matters very little. Even The Covenant is technically repetitive to me by now
The fundamental thing is that Bungie managed to make the overall "feel" of the foot combat the best in CE. The subtle way the guns sway a little more when you move the right stick, the way elite shields get dinged by bullets vs. plasma and how it pairs with their aggressive strafing, the movement speed of the Flood paired with the satisfaction of a shotgun blast folding them mid-air, all of it is just so perfectly satisfying. And that's not even mentioning the near-perfect Legendary balancing (outside of rocket flood)
There's a reason why every Halo modder ends up trying to emulate CE by the end. Ruby's Rebalanced mods, Vengeful Vadam's Reach Evolved, and even Masterz's incest fanfic SPV3 all idolize this game. It's the best. Bungie never managed to match it and 343 is about to show you how inferior a modern remake of it will be
CE > ODST > 3 > 2 > Reach > Infinite > 4 > 5
>>
>>740311047
I will say though that while CE perfected foot combat, Halo 3 perfected vehicle combat (outside of the retardedly powerful anti-air Ghosts). I play Halo primarily for the foot combat but I can totally understand people that prefer Halo 3 to CE on the premise of its absurd scale set pieces. The franchise even with newer hardware hasn't been able to match Halo 3's sheer scale let alone how well-tuned the vehicular handling and damage models are. Even Reach didn't dare show a Scarab explosion on screen for fear of the Xbox 360 exploding into a billion pieces
>>
>>740310445
Fans of Quake style arena shooters have had a massive grudge against Halo in particular for forever, because its style of gameplay became the industry norm going forward of people sticking with Quake style games.
>>
>>740312587
*instead of people sticking
>>
>>740307464
How the fuck has CE aged like milk? There's not a single FPS out there that plays as well as it
>>
>>740307464
nah
It's still great
