How gay are you to even want this?https://youtu.be/6FLR_KM_sPA?si=xbL6BHKxhv8dp773
>>740789195Now I can play the original Macworld version!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eZ2yvWl9nQ
>>740789195I liked
>>740789195You can choose to play in 1st or 3rd person?
>>740790001
>>740789195FPS perspective is shit so this is cool
30 seconds in and the reload animations sound like absolute DOG SHIT343's sound department has been fucking awful since their inception i can't believe more people don't complain about this
>consolization is now affecting console games
>>740789195>bro we totally have classic mode skulls, you can make the AR have 60 rounds without touching any other stat and you can disable zooming in on everything instead of just the guns that had ADS added specifically for this remake
>>740789195Gears of Halo Theft Auto is finally real
>>740789195Will it be a good or bad thing if they happen to fix the AI drivers?
How can I stare at master chief's plump bussy if they don't add a 3rd person view?
Look how they massacred my boy
>>740791872I'd prefer to drive myself and mark targets for my gunner to focus on.
>>740792108Yes the gunners are incredible but you did not answer my question.
>>740789195Halo was originally going to be a third person game. The first few builds were not an FPS.
>>740792175I think it would be a net negative because it would remove the incentive of driving yourself. It's not like the Warthog gun is particularly interesting to use as a player, so I'd rather relegate that to the AI.
>>740792283I personally hope they do fix the AI to give me another option to experience the game differently. I also want them to give me the option to switch back to the original AI for the memes. Maybe even give me a skull that makes it where they are competent drivers until I enter the vehicle. That would be fun.
Imagine 343 did something good and let you control the marine gunner while driving
>inserted a bunch of gen X joss whedon dialogue everywherejesus christ this shit is awful
>>740792249The first few builds were a fuckin' RTS.
>>740792808>Imagine 343 did something goodToo far-fetched.
>>740792019>waah waah look how they massacred my boybut its the same elite,>yes i know but i need something to complain about.
>>740793601???
You know I was gonna buy it but this is way too gay, it pushed me over the edge, fuck them.>it's just le optionYeah a gay option clearly added so snoys can feel at home
>>740789195no one except fortnite addicted zoomers would enable this option
>>740789195As a lifetime Halo fan. I would enable this option.
>>740793705>yfw the constant gives an answer with overtly sexual connotations
>>740793705we've come full circle.
I will play your boomer slop now
>>740796569LMAOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XayLTgHYXM4
>>740791872I doubt it's even possible. They lost the technology while making Infinite and they've only got more dumb since then
>>740789195>no strategy just sprint to elites and melee them to death with the overpowered H3 melee system
>>740797372I am assuming that UE5 comes with AI presets that they would use instead of doing the work themselves.
>>740789195BLOODY SCREENSO REAL
>>7407891953rd person should be standard in every single game. 1st is dogshit and pure laziness, its the main reason why the west loved it.
Guys... They added the yellow paint to Halo...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6JyOj-7tH8
>>740797712you sound like a turd person
The real question is how much shit they are going to retcon
>>740797937doesn't matter, only the originals matter and anything I don't like is corpofiction
>>740793721but it's just le option though
if they give it normal kbnm controls i might try ithalo has always been so jank to play
>>740797712>1st is dogshit and pure laziness1st person is much harder to pull off than 3rd person retard
I fucking hate fags
>>740797937They will remove all the Guilty Spark lines implying humans are forerunners.
IT'S THE SAME FUCKING GAME, THIS IS NOT A REMAKE, SAME MAP, SAME ENEMIES, SAME PHYSICS, SAME VOICELINES, I'M KILLING MYSELF
>>740799353No, it's all worse.
>>740798405
>>740789195This is why I have zero faith that Microsoft won't fuck up Gears as well. There is no way that their exclusive games will actually be good.
>>740799353It's just the original game ported into UE5 like they did with Oblivion and Ninja Gaiden 2. It probably runs like absolute dogshit.
>>740789195Why is having more options bad? Honestly I want an entire ODST game with this 3rd person camera and real stealth mechanics.
>>740797773>Necrons are back to kill this dead gay franchiseI'd play that
>>740800576>won'tThey already did, the reveal looked like a 70s buddy cop movie
>>740789195this should have been a real feature since Halo Reach at the latest
>>740797937Well there are h4/h5 elites in the prequel missionstho they were in some sort of tubes , so maybe they are supposed to be some kind of botched experiment
>>740792094>nu-shadesDISGUSTING
>>740789195Third-person is the superior way to play any and all video games. Especially shooters. Double especially in Ultrawide.
>>740791859Blast from the fucking past brohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWUtJ90zzO8
>>740792019Not seeing what they massacred here. Mind artistically explaining what you don't like about the right one?
>>740791872They're using Reach code as the basis. Drivers in Reach were absolutely awful. So don't bet on it.
>remix mode>343 actually has the same good idea as the rest of us and realizes the only way to make a campaign focused CE rerelease interesting is new and more challenging encounter design>but it's all fucking random and locked to the wacky roguelite modeI wasn't even entirely against the idea of a UE5 reslop but that's such a kick in the balls I shan't even be pirating.
>>740804443>is mad that he gets more content instead of a strict reskin.Sure.
>>740804591>/v/ - Functionally Illiterate
>>740789195there are reasons to want third person view, are there any female spartans with fat asses?
>>740804839I comprehended you very well. They left these features out of the standard campaign and tied it to separate content. If they added it to the main campaign people would bitch about that instead. Keep complaining though.
Why remake CE? Why? I know the actual reason but shush. If you want to have a Halo game for new audiences that they have been chasing since Halo fucking 4, why not choose a different period of time within Halo's canon? Human-Covenant War lasted over 70 years.
>>740805319>I comprehended you very well>Still misinterprets my pointOh, you got me. Enjoy your (you)s, nigger.
>>740806303Then help me understand by explain to me what it is you meant, since I am having issues.
>>740790174>>740790001They should have just made it so a single button could accomplish that. I don't know Halo's keybinds, but I've always felt the mouse wheel button was a good choice for that. I used a mod for that in RE9 Requiem because there's sequences where I find either or works, and I think you should be able to do it mid gameplay rather than pausing.
>they added flood to The Silent Cartographer
>>740789195This game looks incredible man. Fuck, I was like 5 years old when this came out but it was my childhood along with halo 2 and halo 3. Fable and gears too. This is such a great year for games with halo, gears, fable, forza, assassins creed black flag, ocarina of time and ofcourse GTA6. Not even mentioning 007 and Resident evil which i haven't got around to finishing yet because I've been playing so much forza. What a time to be alive.
>>740806691>I don't know Halo's keybindswe can tell
>>740806456I know what you're trying to do but you can't even be an autistic pedant correctly. I said the only way for a CE rerelease to be interesting is for them to add new and more challenging encounter design, not that 343 would have to overwrite the existing campaign. My obvious point of frustration is that the new content is all randomized. Nobody in the world cares if it's behind a separate mode or even on a separate game install or whatever, just so long as there is a deliberately crafted new challenge for us who actually enjoy these games on Legendary. It's being marketed as a single player game, after all. Randomly generating x number of grunts and y number of pure forms with random weapon spawns is lazy ass game design and you know it.
>>740800909The Necrons are Forerunners. Everything is going to make since when Space Marine 3 comes out
>>740789195They implemented 3rd person mode because Microshit wants to sell retards digital skins in a single player game.It's not a coincidence or some result of a poll.
>>740806291this is only 343 safest way of making money. they always some how fuck up with every new halo. they continue to follow other games formulas meanwhile halo to begin with had a good fucking formula going on. all they have to do is make a banger of a campaign, thrown in the good classics of feeling like you're a super soldier and you can massacre aliens. On halo 5 campaign, i spent more time having to put myself in good positioning on firing/covering in Legendary because how many fucking heat-seeking projectiles come out to rape you Make the multiplayer worth-while to play. I couldn't play infinite for more than a few hours without being bored. Game modes? lol we didnt have shit on day 1. Customization to make yourself bad ass? Guess what? a lot of that shit is behind paywalls. Good to fucking know if I wanted to grind the game and brag about my progress, well some other prick with 20$ can do it better than me. FINALLY MY LAST TAKE ON WHY THIS GAME IS SO SHIT. WE GOT THIS PIECE OF SHIT OF A BUNDLE BEFORE FORGE. We got fucking worthless ass faggot gay cat ears before forge. I do not know any straight male (who probably makes up 90% or more of the playerbase lets be honest) bought this piece of shit. Forge took a whole year. This took a few months after launch. 343 has ran Halo down the fucking toilet.
>>740802457>prequel missions will hint at the prophets making their own gene soldier elites>will morph the lore from Halo 4 from the elites still being covenant to there being “good” elites and bad elites who were made by the prophetsI guarantee you they use those weird people printing tablets that forerunners made to preserve species
343 managed to make an even worse version of CEA, and the goyim are eating it up>>740807284
>>740806291It's a training game for UE5. They made the big swap, now they're effectively plastering Reach into a UE layer to rework it into being a level pack on a new engine with Infinite-isms to figure out how to actually make Halo games on a new engine.It's actually comical that we basically abandoned 11 years of "progress" to start over from 343's initiation.
This company is terrified of remaking Halo 3.
>>740807418You called me illiterate and I simply need to figure out who is retarded. I can agree with you on all your points, but I am not done with my petty argument.> 343 actually has the same good idea as the rest of us and realizes the only way to make a campaign focused CE rerelease interesting is new and more challenging encounter design.Here you state that that the only way to make the campaign focused rerelease more interesting is to presumably change the campaign in the campaign focused rerelease. Anyone reading this will assume as much as you reinforced the idea by expressing your displeasure at>but it's all fucking random and locked to the wacky roguelite modeimplying you wanted it as part as the standard campaign. Now you are saying.>I said the only way for a CE rerelease to be interesting is for them to add new and more challenging encounter design, not that 343 would have to overwrite the existing campaign.Maybe you should have explicitly mentioned that instead of leaving thing up to implications and calling me mean names for it :'^(
>>740808821I mean depending on how locked down their build of UE5 is for potential modding, it will be a lot easier for fans to do it this time than fucking about with ol' Blam now.

>>740803970muddy contrast overly detailed sand & rockface absurd refection on the forerunner architecture, looks like it's made out of freshly polished aluminum and not an ancient construct (it's also been transformed from a practical pillar to a janky strut that looks far less structurally sound)the warthog has a gross plastic sheenmore mundane skybox so basically everything sucks

>>740809337lmao i really thought it couldn't get worse than that
>>740808904I thought the derisionary tone I took to "fucking random and locked to the wacky roguelite mode" would be enough to imply that my beef was with the design but I understand where you're coming from now. Sorry for jumping to the conclusion you were a bad faith troll bro. I'm just happy we agree that 343 are a bunch of lazy bitches.

already played halo years ago. why would i play it again with the added modern gayness. can boot up combat evolved any time, but why go back 30 years
>>740789195i'm completely indifferent to a third person mode, halo was never spectacular as an fps anywaybut it's a moot point anyway cause graphics are so dogshit it's unplayable
>>740790001No, the game alternates between first and third person every 5 to 60 seconds. You can't turn this off.
>>740789195Not as gay as buying the PC version when they took out local splitscreen for the third time
>>740804862sir this is a modern triple A game, there are no sexy female spartans with huge asses
>>740810238Why would I want splitscreen for PC? Not only would half of my screen be gone, but my play space would also be scrunched up. Then there's the implication that I would be using a controller to play a shooter. What kind of faggot uses a controller for shooters?
>>740792094You can't possibly fuck this up because it was USELESS in combat evolvedFrosted surfaces look lickable there
I despise first person, so this might actually make me interested in it. But I feel this would be like playing Gears for the first time on PS5 last year where it felt basic and underwhelming since the game was such a huge influence that several other games had come out since that improved on almost everything that it did.
>>740808156that's so stupid
>>740809760Not quite yet. Now we are back here >>740805319 All I can say is at least they put in something new instead of keeping it a reskin. I definitely feel its not enough to justify full price, they need to add much more content then that. My buddy is going to make me play this since he is a halo nerd. My excitement is seeing if I can use the UEVR injector and play halo in 3D while using kb+m. Outside of that I would prefer to just play the MMC.
gears bros..... we won.....
>>740808821halo 3 is around the time graphics stagnation really begansure you get an occasional outlier like Alan Wake 2 that still impresses people with fidelity, but outside stuff like that no games are really considered appreciably 'better looking' by the general public through fidelity alone environment screenshots of halo 3 could be snuck into E3 next year and they wouldn't look out of place or outdated
>>740791859>>740803838goddamnand I'm pretty sure this was machinima's most popular halo 3 machinma video toothis was always the first result when you search up halo 3 machinima
>>740810428Doggystyle with a friend, just put the keyboard on his back
>>740789195I dont even care anymore. Halo Infinite killed the series for me.
>>740807086??? why? isn't that super early into the game? isn't there an entire level already dedicated to them being revealed?
I'm more optimistic about this than most people but wow the sounds in this game are actually horrible ESPECIALLY the plasma rifle. Genuinely sounds like they just recorded someone's stomach rumbling
>>740810102its not for you buddy
what happens when chief loses cortana, does he start quipping the next objective to himself now
>>740811410Man I hope so, I'm morbidly curious to see just how shit they can make this remake.I want it to get worse.
>>740807086Way to leave out the information that this is caused by a specific game mode that changes weapon and enemy spawns randomly.
>>740811410He starts talking to himself like strongbad
Gaylo
>>740792019They turned the Warthog into a Range Rover Evoque.
>>740792019>The sleek hook with two notches>The stark white headlamps>The purple tint of the windshield, esquissed and unique>The visible steel frame underneathThe blacks and indians making this should be jobless.
>>740789195>there's retards still crying about sprintlmao
>>740811194i understand this, still however the master chief has been raped to death figuratively and literally. who is under the age of 30 who likes halo or even cares about it? of course it's main selling point is nostalgia, like the star wars or any other thing under the sun which was novel
>>740811789Halo: Curry Evolved
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6JyOj-7tH8&t=24m06s
>>740789195What an awesome addition for friends who said they weren't interested in an FPS
>>740812085Holy fuck, they never shut up. There's already objective markers out the ass, do you also need Cortana constantly yapping too?
>>740811123There's a built-in randomizer.
>>740804862Not anymore.
I never understood the appeal of first person, why do you want to play as the gun?
>>740811065how the fuck was it still alive after 5?
Silent Cartographer still looks too bright in outdoor areas but after watching the other gameplay footage I'm actually interested in this.
why does this shitty looking game need a minimum 8 gigabytes of vram again?
>>740812861Because it is YOU with the gun. You get to personally shoot and kill everything in your path. You ever played doom? It's badass
>>740809337>>740809003>>740810064>>740812085all these lines are in the original game retards
>>740789195Looks great. I hope they cancel the Playstation port.
>>740814082No they're not. The "inclement weather" line has a complete different cadence from the original.
>huh, cortana. i guess captain keyes has roped you into this too.
>>740804862What game is that? Google lens gave me a completely different game.
>>740812782Good, Halo Reach, 4, and 5 female spartans looking so different from the men goes against the lore, they should look nearly identical when in armor>b-but I want big buttsthen give both the men and women big asscheeks. Reach did that, even if the sexual dimorphism was too big in other ways
>>740789195So that's why they have pre-order skins
>>740792019The absolute worst sin of all is how fucking tiny the gap between the top of the wheel and the body is now. The original warthog looks like it's built for some truly gnarly offroading with that enormous suspension travel distance while the nu-warthog looks like the suspension barely moves and it'll crunch into itself if it so much as hits a speedbump.
>>740814225it's the same script with the lines re-recordedi don't know how that isn't obvious to you
>>740814573There's a lot of added lines, too. Lots of Cortana tutorials.
>>740814573Not that anon, but I personally dislike anything new out of principle.
>>740814082They're not, I watched gameplay of the original before posting to confirm. Fuck off 343tard.

>>740814854sir stop raping that anon pls
>>740804862God, I wish
>>740810881Graphics continued improving for a good while after that still, Halo 3 looks as good as it does because it's an extremely effective marriage of art style which means it aged much better than its contemporaries that mostly relied on cranking pure fidelity as high as possible with the tech of the time. The stagnation started with the PS4/Xbone generation, Destiny is the last game that I remember being really impressed by in terms of being a graphical step up from the games I was playing before.
>>740815418Halo 3 also looks as good as it does on modern hardware because the original game was sub-720p and ran at 30fps. You can fit in a lot more detail when you're not even rendering the game in HD.
>>740815418>*extremely effectively marriage of art style AND LIGHTINGHurrdurr. Still, that means it scales up to modern higher resolutions much better than the contemporary games that I mentioned, if you take a look at any individual element in that image you can see it's quite crude but each element works together to make something that looks better than the sum of its parts, especially when in motion.>>740815563IIRC it was the lighting that was primarily responsible for the decision to go sub-720p, there isn't really much of a notable difference in geometry or texture detail with games coming out around the same time (CoD 4, for example) but the lighting is sublime compared to those other games.
>>740815851Yeah, Halo 3 could do with a simple HD texture pass and it would still be a passable modern game.
>>740789195>Finish the fight again, again.Nigga, the fights been finished for 19 years now. Move on.
>>740816064The fight isn't over until 343 is fucking dead
>>740815851>>740815563>>740815418>>740815987Halo 3 just has really good lighting for the time combined with a texturing technique which is infinitely scalable, so when you zoom into a lot of objects even at 4k the tiling repeats and scales up without detail loss
>>740810202Now this would make for an actually fun Skull rather than just "yeah, it's third person now".
>>740815418The last big graphical leap in gaming happened around the time of Halo 2 to Halo 3.Halo 3 still didn't have HD textures and on round surfaces, like NPC heads, you could see the polygons. The game still aged fantastically because Bunige's artists knew how to work within those constraints.The improvement in graphics from 3 to Reach wasn't as dramatic, but now it did have HD textures and the models looked properly round and smooth. That's when things really plateaued.Diminishing returns got worse and studios began tanking performance just to eek out a tiny bit of barely noticeable detail.
>>740814453Fuck off redditor
>>740810428What kind of a faggot doesn't own a controller and a tv?
>>740789195prelude to the next Halo being Sony-style over the shoulder cutscene sloppa
>>740810825I hope its good, but I have a feeling they are gonna do something to fuck it up.

>>740791859>>740803838I still want a game rated JO

Halo: AI Slop Evolved
>>740789195Wasn't their a demo of Halo CE where you could play as jackals and grunts?the hell happened?
>>740820654The health system is gone, enjoy the addition of gigantic hitmarkers cluttering the screen though!
I can not believe these lazy stupid fucks are still using reach assets. In case no one noticed, the fuel rod is from reach, the tank is from reach, the banshee is from reach but they just added jet engines to wings.
>gears devs boasted about remaking all assets from the ground up>halo devs still importing reach assets
I will probably play it, but when does the halo 7 come out?
>>740821934>Brown bossgirls>Hitmarkers >Environment is just 70s New York with some scifi tidbits It's slop
>>740789195it looks so bad. fuck unreal engine and everyone involved in modern game design.
>>740822137First point tis true sadly. There’s literally nothing wrong with the other points.
>>740822092We are hard at work saar please do the needful and keep the waiting going!
>>740789195tasteless
>>740822275>Nothing wrong with useless clutter stopping me from appreciating the gore
>>740822389You can turn them off you stupid retard, abs they’re not that intrusive to begin with. They appear for a split second. It’s not gonna ruin your gore you fag.
>>740822092They're going to remake Halo 2 and Halo 3 before they make a new Halo game. Like WoW Classic basically.
>>740821873They're not.However, every animation is from Reach, H5 or Infinite though.
>>740822789Jesus, we really are in gaming hell, and I don’t even have a 5090 32GB card yet…
>>740789195Are they going to add content from the books or no?
>>740822902No they are. The reach fuel rod is unmistakable.
notice how they dont need sprint to move fast naturally. 343 troons btfo
>>740823149Yeah but it’s great to use in between the action when trying to get from A to B faster
>>740789195Johnson sounds like shit, could they not afford David Skully or is it another episode of "we want a nigger to actually voice the black character"
>>740789195Game looks alright but I don't have an i9 and an rtx 5090 to run it. It's crazy that you need a $2,000-$3,000 PC just to play games these days.
>>740823395Dave Skully’s dead anon…
Man, Halo really has only the "One final effort" theme left and nothing else huh?
>>740822702Prove you can turn them off most Xslop titles have hitmarkers you can't disable.Gaylo Infinite for example>>740823395Both, Skully is retired so tjey hired some nigger nobody
>>740823686Well you do have to realize Halo stakes are universal from the get-go. If you understand the lore, that is. It's fairly fitting.Just wish they'd make a good game though.
>>740789195people are excited halo is officially B.A.C.K
>>740789195Skulls letting you modify so much about the game, including an excellent 3rd person function out of the box, is a good choice. I don't see the issue here.>>740823395>basedjack posting tourist>doesn't recognize Uncle Ruckus

jesus christ is there anything you faggots actually like or enjoy? all i see on here is negativity all day long

>>740824901You do realize most people don't want games that require $3,000 PCs to run, right? Borderlands 4 requires at minimum a $2,000 PC to run. Which is insane if you consider that it isn't even as good of a game as Borderlands 2.
>>740797479He's playing on easy just to show off the mechanics you fucking moron
>>740792019>Left alien planet light from some white star>Right tropical beach, aka default ue5 lighting
>>740825440>Borderlands 4 requires at minimum a $2,000 PC to runno it doesnt stop exaggerating
>>740817392We'll just have to mod it to something proper.
>>740789195I never wanted Halo in the first placeSlop shooter sloppier than fucking CoD
>>740789195WAIT, it's the same fucking game? They just slapped ue5 meshes on top, wtf.Why would anyone buy this shit having MCC for 10bucks on steam wing the 5 games?
>>740820654>>740821837The health bar is the smaller bar beneath the shield bar at the top
>>740825484>one plasma rifle/pistol bolt does 1/4 of his shield bar of damageIt aint easy.
>>740825956It's complicated. They basically took Reach code, assets, animations, alongside Infinite assets, and then put it all in UE5 as a layer on top to create a "new" basis for Halo going forwards, essentially converting BLAM! to UE. So this is actually a Reach reskin under the hood with Infinite-isms like no-ability sprint, smart scope ADS, etc, before being reconfigured to be on top of Combat Evolved map design and their three new prologue missions. Plus other guns slipped in there like the Battle Rifle and SMG.
>>740823043>>740821873You're incorrect, if you look at the the side of the fuel rod gun, towards the area that's not covered in the golden chassis, you'll see the innards of the gun by the sight, display, and pipeing is different.It's based on the Reach version of the weapon but it also has elements of the Halo 5 version. It's a brand new modelThe banshee is also brand new, it has the central chassis/cockpit of the reach version but the wings of the classic CE/2/3 banshee
>>740825956It's a remake of the original game in the Reach engine, with a UE5 graphics layer on top.
>>740791616Third person isn't consolization, queer.One of the best ever made is objectively superior on PC and was built specifically for it.
>>740789195hmm looks interesting. I might get this after initially not wanting it due to Cortana horrific art style
>>740792019>>740814563This, so much for "muh realism".
>>740824901Most thinking adults are absolutely fed up with modern AAA games and are rooting for their bloated bullshit to die off and if you don't perceive that then you are a fucking retard.
>>740825947Retarded take. Cod is the sloppiest of all games along with GTA and felonball.your character is always sprinting and always auto-aiming. There are buttons to auto slide and jump off walls to make it even sloppier. There’s no skull involved it’s just running 1000 miles an hour and sliding with script auto aim
>>740825956>Why would anyone buy this shit having MCC for 10bucks on steam wing the 5 games?Oh that's so cute he thinks they will keep it there forever
>>740826420I played the Xbox version and it was pure kino thoughbeit. The controls/aiming kinda suck ass but it was still a ton of fun and I beat the hardest difficulty on it, it was way better than the shitty sequel (despite that one having far better controls)
>>740826160>>740826262Why? Holy crap isn't it just easier to start from scratch? They could have used the new tech n shit
>>740826675They can't take it from me, still playing bad company 2, cope
>>740826535Unfortunately the "thinking" part is the minority. This shit will make money, and GTA VI will break every record known to man.
>>740826767They didn't trust themselves to make it actually feel like Halo without using blam as a backbone.
>>740809003>>740809337>>740809846>>740814225You can tell these people did not indeed play Halo CE, considering how many times Cortana warns the player in advance.>>740826767The fuck? No it isn't.
>>740824901I played the demo for sprawl zero and enjoyed it a lot.I think remaking halo 1 again is retarded because everyone knows how fucking incompetent 343 is. So after this remake then what? You get another 343 tier halo game, congratulations you helped fund yet another disappointment.
>>740810064lmao unfucking-real
>>740826535>>740814696>>740814794>>740814854>>740815004>MUH CORTANA ISN'T A SNARKY PERSON WHO TELLS YOU TO DO THINGS>"Keep your head down! There's two of us in here now, remember?"
>>740789195the original in 3rd person is kind've kino, the textures for chief are great
>>740827078Ah yes the part were the shill acts like a retard so you cannot argue with him.
>>740827078>Chief! Use the reticle on your heads-up display in order to line up your shot. When you're ready, pull the trigger in order to fire and damage anything within your aiming reticle.
Why are they making Jen say the lines like that. It sounds like they are making her do the "oh teehee I am so naive and clueless I'm so innocent :)" thing from not-Cortana in Infinite rather than how sharp she was in CE.
>>740789195I don't think this game needs a remake. But it does look pretty good.
>>740826767the blam! engine is tailor made for creating halo games, the ai behaviors especiallythey probably reuse the reach engine instead of previous iterations because bungie made several tools for it to make it easier for map makers to rapidly test ai behaviors in different environments, and it's not like 343 has the will or competence to develop their own tools for the older engines if they even have access to them
>>740827542Yeah no. The 343i era blam tools are so dramatically better to use it's hilarious.>t. modderfag
>>740826974>The fuck? No it isn't.Yes it is? You don't know a lot about software architecture do you?
>>740827732the video game lobby counts on retards like him who eat it up
>mix of reach, ce and new marine dialogueThat's so weird. You have the joyless "COPY THAT TANGO DOWN FRAGGING A CHAIRLIE AREA CLEAR OVER" Reach dialogue bouncing off "wooo I'm in an 80's sci-fi movie! get some!" dialogue.
>>740827624The MCC editing kits are the same tools that Bungie used.But I never bothered doing much with H4 or H2A. All I know is that they made the tabs on Bonobo way more annoying.
>>740806291They dropped their own engine for UE 5, Campaign Evolved is clearly a test game for future Halo games. Also I think 343 isnt involved in the actual making of this game and just supervising.
>>740789195Are they reusing voicelines from reach? LMAO
>>740827460>>740827804>Why are they making Jen say the lines like that. It sounds like they are making her do the "oh teehee I am so naive and clueless I'm so innocent :)" thing from not-Cortana in Infinite rather than how sharp she was in CE. Bad direction without Joe Staten and Marty O'Donnell in the studioHalo CE campaign and Halo 2 campaign were basically Joe Staten's projects
>>740827951>Also I think 343 isnt involved in the actual making of this game and just supervising.In this coat of paint you mean, I wish it was a new game 20 years playing the same 3 games
>>740827951Bungie didn't work on Halo PC. They outsourced it to Gearbox. lacks certain shaders, ie jackal shields, cov shields, dropship plasma, AR shadersBungie didn't work on Halo 2 Vista. They outsourced it343 didn't work on CEA. They outsourced it.343 outsourced CEA and H2A to Saber Interactive for FREE using the inferior PC ports as the base and Sean Cooper spent 5 years fixing the broken ports343 outsourced terminals in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary to Sequence343 outsourced Reach DLC maps (Defiant Map Pack/Anniversary Map Pack) and Halo 4 DLC maps to Max Hoberman and Certain Affinity (multiplayer, online, and UX design lead for Halo 2 and Halo 3)Halo 4 campaign just feels half-baked. It has sections that feel empty, lacking content. Removed point scoring. As a result, the timer was also removed(used for speed runs). You can't view the campaign terminals ingame; you must go to waypoint. Forge Island gives us ten times less budget than Forge World. Removed Race, Territories, Stockpile, Headhunter, and Juggernaut. “Infinity” gametypes include instant respawn, perk packages and customized loadouts (COD). "Legendary" gametypes fixed this.Halo 4 and part of Halo 5 are the only game 343i actually put together themselves with their in house studio, MCC and especially infinite has been nothing but wrangling contractors and contract studios. Infinite has something like 5 confirmed studios that worked on it. That is why their dev cycle takes so long and fucks shit up constantly(besides the technical debt). 343 is just an umbrella studio that directors other contract studios into making broken messes of games. Its why everything except Halo 4 is a broken retarded mess because Halo 4 was the only 343i title actually done in house and not through 20 corporate suit games of telephone and Zoom meetingsMCC was outsourcedhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpklokblI006QYtGlxUeds747lPZD_JSph56qLJqzhwCampaign Evolved will be outsourced
>>740827732NTA but I do and if you think that designing a new engine from scratch that feels like Halo is simpler than building upon an already established base then you are unironically stupider than he is.
>>740806291You can email them for questions. Maybe if youre nice they will send you a freecopy and a voucher.
>>740828059Get ready for a coat of paint for H2 and H3 possibly. 343/HS is incapable of making a good Halo game. Everyone should know this by now.
>>740828179Yeah sure, then you will know how to fucking read retard.
>>740828116That actually makes a lot of sense
>>740823758OH MY REDDIT!
>>740810064What's the point in adding a sprint if you move at the same speed walking
>>740799353ThisI can't believe it's the exact same fucking thing, there's already a fucking remake what's the point of this one.Anniversary is perfectly playable still, they could've just added sprint and some other shit.
>>740828720>>740799353No, it is remade, it's just remade in a later Halo engine (reach's), with UE5 visualsIt does have slightly different physics and shit as a result, some new weapons, some new enemy types, and some level design changes, though said level tweaks seem to be pretty minor so far. Allegedly at least the library will get major changes
>>740825696I'm not exaggerating. Honestly with how prices are I wouldn't be surprised if it was closer to $2,500.
>>740828720you don't actually look into anything on gameplay and make a lot of judgments based on a cursory glance, don't you
>>740828453I can but you clearly can't you literacy-impaired jeetoid.
>>740828925>>740828864I know there are some changes, of course, but they’re not significant enough to make it worth it imo. My guess is that they’re doing this to test the waters in UE5, which I’m excited to see.
>>740826974>>740827078I'm sorry, but you might be the target audience if you can't tell the difference between the original dialogue and Cortana literally spelling out that you should use a powerful vehicle, on top of the marker on it, every single time one appears. A normal player, faced with a Scorpion or Banshee, will be naturally attracted to those vehicles, and similarly they'll know to leave their fucking vehicle to press a button when faced with a door. But I guess the "you don't have to press buttons" crowd prefers appeasing to the lowest common denominator, in this case, probably the autistic kid shitting himself over Mafia 3.
>>740799353>>740828720Wasn't this game specifically meant for snoys though.
>powered by unreal engine 5
>>740829539Snoys buy movies, this is 100% a game
>>740789195Focus, M
The jeets defending this are hilarious
>>740792019>they took "hire this man" seriously
>>740789195It's crazy how Halo 3 and R34ch fans are into graphic nowadays. It might even be the biggest giveaway. The Halo game doesn't register as an American thing to me anymore. I immediately think of Bay Area diasporoids desperately trying to fit in and look cool.
>>740792094looks like someone dropped a bag of icing sugar
they're going to release 2 and 3 in this engine as dlc i suspect. they have all the assets. the MCC sucks balls but i dont want it shut down to support this shit eventually.guess ill have to kidnap some women and force them onto a halo 3 LAN farm. dark times are comming, friends
>>740814375reverse image search works for me, it's called Bloody Spell
>>740827078thats sassy not snarky you fucking retard
in terms of graphical style, they tried to polish and go all out on evrry little thing so much so that is becomes garish and everything is screaming for your attention.its like using a thesaurus to find the biggest, most obscure word for every word in a paragraph.they dont understand visual design at all
>>740831429>as dlcare you insane?they are going to be separate full price games
>>740831740>garishsums up 343
>>740824901no
>>740831831people have highlighted the issues since halo 4. they refuse to listen or change anything and continue to wonder why people dont lovr their games
>>740831351yeah
>>740789195Is it weird if my favorite segments of Halo are the no-combat "peaceful" first person cutscenes of Halo 3 where you get to walk around and jump around while the characters do their thing in the base?
>>740831740The art style change is bad enough, but like you said, everything is so garish.Combat Evolved always had such a chill atmosphere. This remake everything is bright, flashy, particle effects out the ass, lens flares, boom, everything looks overexposed.Every frame of this remake is an eyesore.
I think the pajeets and contractors broke the AI when integrating Reach era Blam into UE5. Either that or they aren't using it's AI system at all.
>>740831885i mean look at thiswhat the fuck is this
>>740832845I hate this map. It was only taken seriously because it was the closest thing to a playable disc map Halo 4 had. It's just two curved hallways stacked on top of each other.
>>740832185>This remake everything is bright, flashy, particle effects out the assHonestly, this is a good thing. For it's time CE also was doing this, no Halo game since has had plasma projectiles cast light on walls and floors as much as itI'm glad that the remake matches that part of how CE looked originally >>740832991Solace and Adrift were okay
>>740789195I will never stop laughing at Halofags of all people getting mad at Microsoft for "ruining" their game. Babby's First FPS has always been shit, face it you dumb niggers.
>>740806291Because they have to remind players of what a good Halo is. This has been their M0 from the beginning.Halo CEA, then Halo 4, then MCC, then Halo 5, Halo Infinite, and now we cycle back to Halo CEA 2.0.Bungie Halo remakes are to wash the taste of 343i Halo out of your mouth. Leave you feeling optimistic when you see the next dogshit 343i Halo.
>>740833603Neither of those were very good, either.
>>740797689>Bulletstorm ad campaign has longer lasting cultural impact than Bulletstorm itself. Poetry.
>>740833678Hey, I said "okay", not "great"

>>740834095Every time I see this image there's an additional ammo counter.
>>740834095>>needler has an ammo counter (???)That's from Infinite.
>>740834095What do Jews have to do with this? Or indians?
>>740797689to be fair it seems like it's only enemy blood that shows up when they die very close to you and lasts barely a second. It still looks like shit though and I can't believe so many people agreed with it.
Unreal.
>>740792019Would be more accurate if the Warthog on the right was completely empty.

>>740792094That snow "texture" is horrid. That shit is just a noise filter what the fuck.
>>740810412It being Unreal Engine means it could be easy to mod maybe
>>740789195this is why they Collab with hell divers 2how the fuck are we regressing what the fuck man.
>>740789195>Mantana's voice sounds way less assertive in this than the OGreally makes you think
>>740824901>Jesus christ why are you people not reacting positively to something you don't like? What the fuck is wrong with you? Just buy new product and be excited for new product!Sell me something good and proper then you fucking retard, you're smacking the beehive and wondering why you're being stung. Try giving them some fucking flowers instead. Oh wait, you are being a cheap spiteful greedy grabbler so you are incapable of doing business 101, that is to say, MAKING PRODUCTS FOR A TARGET AUDIENCE.
>>740826160>It's complicated. They basically took Reach code, assets, animations, alongside Infinite assets, and then put it all in UE5 as a layer on top Fucking why? Halo Infinite ran just fine on my potato of a PC and I thought it looked as good as Halo ever needed to be.How many more fucking polygons does a big green fridge-man need?
>>740789195>why are they remaking halo ce, what a waste of ti->OH MY GOD IS THAT THE CLASSIC LOADING SCREEN?>*accidentally knocks over my doordash order from burger king*>HALO IS SO BACK GUYS. LITERALLY CHILLS........
>>740839304HE'S BEEN CHILLED

>>740789195This is almost like a sin. Halo in 3rd person? This shit just ain't right. And no ripping off the turret back in Halo 3 doesn't count as Halo being fully playable in its entirety in 3rd person. That is only a special circumstance in which your character has an overpowered giant weapon and moves slow as shit.
>>740840123and none of those games on that list are good
>>740789195You fags complain about anything!
>>740789458wow what PS2 game is this?
>>740842672It would be alright if we could play as a fem-Spartan
>>740797689Completely uninvested in Halo in 2026 but Blood on the screen, blood in general, needs to come back in a big way. They'll make the most intense hack and slash, the most intensely violent games these days, but just leave blood and gore out of it. So strange that we all let that fly
>>740831740>they tried to polish and go all out on evrry little thing so much so that is becomes garish and everything is screaming for your attention.I've noticed this myself. Everything looks too vibrant and pops. This is a stark contrast to how the original looked. And its not just because of old hardware either. Its odd to think of a Halo game being too colorful and shiny but that is what this seems like to me. It looks okay gameplay wise but I really don't know how to feel on these remakes anymore. Sometimes I think certain games should stick to the source material like FF7 which I find that remake to be completely shit considering how much it deviates from the original game. Then for others I wish they would stick to the original gameplay even down to getting the art and visuals correct such as with Spyro where they stuck to the gameplay at least but then botched the art design of the original games. Since they already remastered Halo CE once I think they should have been willing to do more here. Change the level layout. Make the combat better. I don't know. It seems to me like a lazy Halo game meant to just cash in for a quick buck. All complete with a shittier artstyle to the original game. Just like what happened with Spyro. Which Microsoft also owns funnily enough.
>>740792094Why does the floor look like concrete lol, this is horrible
>>740844692Advanced snow texturing.
>>740792019The metal textures and reflections on the OG is still unmatched, the bullet holes too, the grenade explosions, unmatched.Even the fucking sounds, the sound effects, the music, unmatched.

>>740846482Halo CE was one of the earliest games to incorporate bump/normal mappingHalo CE had bullet casings looked like real metal shells, didn't disappear quickly but remained on the ground for a long time (nothing cooler to see tons of bullet shells scattered everywhere after a fire fight), and watching them realistically roll down hills.Specular on bsp is all kinds of broken in Halo 2, different ways depending on version of the game. Bungie disabled it on many surfaces because of this. In MCC it has a broken directional computation, in Vista it just doesn't work at allHalo 2's maps were so big the original Xbox couldn't handle it. Containment is the biggest map in Halo 2.Halo 3 ran at 1152x640, it wasn't even 720p>“[Y]ou could argue we gave you 1280 pixels of vertical resolution, since Halo 3 uses not one, but two frame buffers, both of which render at 1152×640 pixels,”a Bungie representativewrote. “The reason we chose this slightly unorthodox resolution and this very complex use of two buffers is simple enough to see: lighting. We wanted to preserve as much dynamic range as possible, so we use one for the high dynamic range and one for the low dynamic range values. Both are combined to create the finished on screen image.”Stuff like warthog tires, scorpion treads, ect are parallaxed in 3.ODST didn't have any rain because the engine didn't support itReach's motion blur technique, like in Tekken 6, works on an individual object basis>Reach's lighting system means that there can be upward of thirty or more light sources on screen at once, given off via weapons fire, explosions, and environmental lighting, such as the glow given off from lights inside buildings. All of these light sources are real-time, and interact with their surroundings. So a gunshot, or rounds from a Needler will light up surrounding areas, and change the shadows created by moving objects. Each individual projectile from the Needler also has its own light source

>>740853071>halo 2 was hated because arbiter was playable>halo 3 was hated because arbiter got shaftedThe duality of fans.
The Arbiter ruined the series as a whole, because it made Bungie include a bunch of duplicate weapons just so the Covenant could have some guns that do headshot damage.
>>740853805Challenge mode: make it a second person shooter.
>>740854162That's not too hard. Just have fixed camera angles like the old Resident Evil games.

>>740793705I think the biggest thing I don’t like is Johnsons new VA, unless this is still Scully.If it is it sounds like he’s doing an impression of his own character.
>>740816258>Halo 3 still didn't have HD texturesWhich is a good thing. Textures age. 3 relies on normal maps, tiling, and decals which scale up with resolutions. Also the game just has really good lighting which also ages well. Quake 2 of all games can look amazing with path tracing.
>>740789195so you can look at the stupid fucking dildo-purple skin your mom paid $10 for
Destiny 1 look better than 3. Yes, it is also a product of the 360 and nogaems station.
>>740789195Bro I know I'm falling for the nostalgia-bait, but I really want this shit. Last game I bought day 1 was metaphor refantazio but I'm seriously considering this. Remembering me and my mates playing halo all night on the weekends cussing each other out for screen watching
>>740821873The Banshee is brand new
>>740857657It is if you make them into security cameras being viewed by another character.

>>740792094Dude. What the fuck is that forerunner texture?
>>740792952Dude that was in the original. Played the game for years and still heard dialogue I'd never heard before sometimes from random maries in levels right up until I stopped playing.
>>740816949go fuck yourself redditfag eunuch
>>740793705The new sgt Johnson voice is fucking shit. Only problem with this game from everything I've seen so far. Well and destructible warthog, but they do have a skull for that
>>740826420Play it recently? Clunky as fuck when you shootdodge and Max has to take 2 seconds to stand up again, during which you can't do anything but get shot at and die>skill issueNo the studio didn't round off a jagged edge
>>740858906There's a lot of new dialogue.
>>740792019>look how they vastly improved my boycomplaining for the sake of it is expected on /v/. no wonder so many men here want to be women
>>740846920ODST does have rain, actually
>>740834759WOW, THAT'S A LOTTA BLOOD!
>>740853896Terrible taste, Halo 2 has the most 8/10 or better missions of any campaign in the series and pretty obviously the best written narrative
>>740814563>>740826490I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed, the suspension is way too lowthe warthog is an all terrain vehicle not a race car
>>740858325To be fair to H2A MP here, it's only as blurry as it is because of a bug that crept in after years of patchesGeneralkid had a video about it, though I can't find it now
>>740853994>halo 2 was hated because arbiter was playableI always thought that was weird. The elites were so cool, I wanted to play as one so bad when I played Halo 1. The thing they should have been mad about was that they took the coolest designed enemies and said>Okay, you can play as one. But that shiny armor they wear that looks really cool? Your guy doesn't have that. He wears this ugly armor that looks like an actual turd insteadThe fuck were they thinking with Arbiter's design? They had to do so little to make him cool, but STILL managaed to fuck it up.
>>740862458>>740858325ah, found it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKkNs0pWli8
>>740814563Yeah the right looks like some nigger slammed the Warthog in Horizon whereas the left is properly built for offroad. This is what happens when you replace a nerd dev team with women who don't care - they don't notice such attention to detail.
Classic Halo lore was written by Joe Staten and Eric Nylund.The UNSC, Halsey, Captain Keyes, ODSTs, SPARTAN-II, John-117, Blue Team and Keyes Loop, SPARTAN-III, Onyx were all Nylund.Master Chief (in-game), Cortana, Captain Keys (in-game), Johnson, 343 Guilty Spark, Covenant, Arbiter, Elites, Prophets, Alpha Team were Joe Staten.Some say that Bungie retconned Nylund's books, but it's not true, they worked with him, using his ideas, and just wanted to tell their own take on the Fall of Reach.Frank O'Connor wrote an outline for Halo 4-6 and gave it to several different writers. Greg Bear (RIP) wrote Forerunner lore for The Didact and The Librarian, Karen Traviss wrote post-Halo 3 lore that ties into Halo 4/5. Brian Reed wrote Halo 4's Spartan Ops campaign (which is why it feels so different from the campaign) and later wrote Halo 5.Brian Reed wrote Halo 5 and going by Reed's interview before release he was trying to force players to like Locke and Osiris over Chief and Blue Team. People on the Halo Waypoint forums got used to not explicitly call out his name as Brian Reed threads get locked on a regular basis.Reed went on a social media blackout, masking his identity. As of today it’s practically impossible to reach out to the man without some serious digging or a direct contact to 343i.They had Halo 4-6 planned out in terms of story, Brian is said to have deviated far from that and used his own vision and ideas instead.
>>740840123I'd argue 3 was the peak. Reach borrowed a lot of ideas from COD like sprint and assassinations which were hit or miss but story wise it filled in a lot of holes. Halo Wars 1+2 was a good simple RTS. Everything else was trash.
>>740789195I hope every single person involved in this dies in their sleep tonight
>>740828059>In this coat of paint you mean, I wish it was a new game 20 years playing the same 3 gamesAnd it is the first game release I've felt some tinge of excitement for in years
>>740834759time?
>>740859328>improvedthe suspension is gone dumbfuck
>>740793705Isn't that the guy from family feud?
>>740809003>it's risky but if you get close you can hijack that covenant vehicle!!It's made for retarded babies fjc
>>740814453Shut the fuck up tranny.
>>740858312>unless this is still ScullyIt's not, he's retired
>>740864284Yeah people are saying the new Johnson VA sounds like him.
>>740864707I'm a lorefag, not a tranny
>>740863439>Some say that Bungie retconned Nylund's books, but it's not true, they worked with himI hate when people say bungie hated the extended lore. Some at bungie clearly didn't care for it but others (like staten) were clearly enthusiastic about it and there are dozens of references to extended lore in the original trilogy. Especially in first strike it's clear nylund was working with bungie to synergize for halo 2. If anything I think there should be dlc for campaign evolved or even a stand alone game that adapts first strike because it would be epic.
this whole game is just unoriginal shineslop
