>>502313946You'd know all about Wyzo Azssum and why he's that strong if you read the books and did your homework like you were supposed to.
It's Frigg Friday, forgotten goddess of love, so we're Snowbound"CTF on Snowbound" in the browser!
what da frig
>>502316284Gettin Friggy with it
>>502315943Switching to OddballFind "Oddball on Snowbound" in the MCC custom games browserHope to see you there~
>>502315943I love Snowbound

>>502320254I genuinely love Snowbound.
Running a 1v1 session. Hopefully this coward shows up.
shitty fucking snowbound
>>502299398sonic unfortunately is halo
No game has gotten the flood Combat right like CE
>>502322927>Sandtrap in D tierHoly shot this list sucks
>automag

>>502322927>Valhalla, Heretic, Blackout, Narrows and Standoff that high>Sandbox not in F>Avalanche, Sandtrap and Longshore that low>Rat's Nest not in S tierShit list, I can't even be bothered to critique it more.
>>502326776If there was a f tier I would put all the shitty Forerunner levels like Narrows, Construct and Epitaph
>finally get a decent amount of players on Tempest for neutral flag CTF with the modded Magnum>it's a bunch of chucklefucks who just want to shoot each other regardless of the fact that they're teammates>grab the flag 3 times in a row without resistance e-eventually people will give this gametype a chance
>>502327562I spent hours making levels and no one wants to play them lol
>>502327671Meanwhile some terrible Desert Bus eleven will be up for a month straight
>>502327671I've done that too. It doesn't get me down because I enjoy making them, and I can recognize not everything I make is good or interesting. Have a bunch of stuff people will never see. And attracting people into your games is a skill. What gets to me is stuff like, today:>Player joins team Oddball on Snowbound>We 1v1 for a while. He's very sweaty>A couple other players join>Instead of chilling out he's still full sweat, possibly even kills his own teammates, just so he can solo the game. Couldn't see the logs since I was on the opposite team>everyone else rightfully quits>"I'm trying to organize a game, could you chill out?">"loooool 2ez">"Is this actually fun to you?">"Yes">"Look if you want to sweat, I'll set up a game on Tempest. I've got a magnum mod that's pretty fun. 1v1 me">Ok BRB>Doesn't actually show upThis kind of asshole is directly responsible for the explosion of internet feminism, the popularity of the idea of "toxic masculinity", and railing against "gamers" in the late 00's/early 10's, the success of CoD, and Halo's decline into irrelevance. Halo is like trying to have a friendly game of basketball at the park with strangers (something that frankly wouldn't happen these days), and you keep getting college team level players joining the game and going all out until nobody wants to play anymore. And they gloat about it instead of having any sense at all. I'll continue to try to find ways to frustrate this impulse with my gametypes, but it sure is discouraging.
>>502329917Can’t you kick him from the game?
dont know if this is the right place to ask but where do I talk about and get pictures of elite's with big boobs and ass
>>502330995Probably /trash/ or Rule 34 or E621 we don’t really want porn here
>>502329917Wats his gamertag? I will 1v1 that fagget
>>502330972The other players joining then noping out happened so quickly I couldn't do anything. Then it was just me and this dude and I preferred to endure it/see if he'd get a clue, than bitch out of my own game session. He didn't show up when I challenged him to a 1v1.
>>502331185I'm not gonna throw out a stranger's gamertag but I'll 1v1 (You) for fun
>>502332341My gamertag is scrub lord5118
>>502333796Invite sent. Making food so AFK for a minute. Also sitting in "CTF on Penance" if you just want to join
HEY THERE _______
>>502334836Okay I’m working so won’t be able to play till l8r
>>502334912How much later
>>5023227802's is the worst still
>>502334904WIGGA
>>502335201Like 5 hours
>>502335734Aight
>>502293026The second level is boring. Mostly because fighting the Flood in H3 is boring in the first place.
>>502340268I love the flood in 3. They were the grossest and most disturbing. My favorite level is Floodgate. Also I like the level design in Cortana which the artist put a lot of effort into and actually got ptsd from staring at gorey and disgusting images for 8 months while making it.
>>502340905Floodgate and Cortana are fine. But after playing a lot of Floodfight, I think I'm done fighting the Flood as the main antagonist for an extremely long time.

>>502320254My first 25-0 and first MP map I played.
>>502348813As a kid the marines being transformed and the noises they made disturbed me
343 wouldn’t put this in their kid friendly games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvIQ1O7W-wY
>>502350861Halo used to be like your weird but likeable uncle showing you Alien or Robocop way before you probably should have seen it. Huge part of its success really: if you were young enough it felt like you were getting away with something cool when you played it. Big part of what made it so popular.
Why do you guys still keep playing Halo after all these years of 343 and MS just mishandling the franchise?
>>502352405I'm just playing Bungie Halo.
>>502352405Still fun
>>502352405343 games might be slop but there is still no good replacement for them
>>502352405I only play mcc. I don’t play the new Halos.
>>502292576Halo Waifurs??
Maybe Halo.
Do you agree that the Halo CE remake should introduce new features such as dual-wielding and maybe forge mode?
>>502358981>it'd be a letdown if CE remake was a remake of CE
>>502358981I mean, we already have a working Halo CE on modern platforms. If you're remaking the game, might as well add more features.Still, I wouldn't have greenlit a remake of Halo CE in the first place.
>elite AI is capable of properly using the sniper rifle>marines aren'twew lad
>trying to get achievement for beating The Library on heroic without dying>spend a hour getting almost to the end>get killed by a rocket floodretarded achievement. I almost died also because I kept getting my internet interrupted which causes the fucking game to lag out of control for like ten seconds for some reason
>>502362878You can save and quit just as soon as you die and it's fine.
>>502358981They are going to add sprint and all this retarded shit and ruin it. It will probably be T rated as well. Gay
>mfw I have this creeping feeling that other players might start recognizing me and fuck with me on purposeI'm just being paranoid, right?
>>502368358Just make your dick so hard they can't fuck with you!
@Scrub LordI'm waiting 4u Playing "CTF on Tempest" in the browser
>>502368358Lmao I T bagged U earlier. You should pay more attention to your radar.
>>502369457Sorry I can’t right now
>>502370162Well, I got a few players in here, so it wouldn't have been 1v1 anyway :^)Running another team objective game in about an hour too

>>502348813>Halo 3 actually have the best flood if you exclude the pure forms.Nah. Being able to headshot them is terrible
>>502374551>Being able to headshot them is terribleRetarded take. Please do not post in this general ever again.
>>502374516You playing hard isn't really a problem for me, but my teammate was playing at a ... let's say "more relaxed" level.Sweaty players scaring off random joiners has been a problem so just a heads up. I think you would have been up to the challenge too.
>>5023755763 players? No.My other teammate was a decent meatbag.
It's Frigg Friday!Tiem for the second scheduled game. Map is Snowbound, gametype is Neutral Bomb.For future consistency, I'm going to start naming these scheduled games according to their day, so look for "Frigg Friday" in the MCC custom games browserLink to the /vm/ post with the schedule>>>/vm/1502765See you in the snow
>>502374675nigger animal hands typed this post. I could knock you out in one hit just like halo 3 flood.
Would any of you be interested in trying to get some of the hard 4 player co op achievements on MCC?
>1v1>legacy maps>new gunsWe are so back
I got a good question, can someone explain to me why did 343 retcon the forerunners with the Greg Bear books? Didn't management at 343 know that it would undermine all prior material? Who was more at fault, Greg Bear, Microsoft, or 343?
>>502385879Frankie.
Anyone else root for the Covenant? They are the good guys.
>>502388039I root for the Elites. They were enslaved by the Covenant (Bad Guys/Very Evil).
Halo Infinite launched three years ago today.Say something nice about it.
>>502389439It’s a slight improvement over Halo 4 and 5
Halo One launched twenty three years ago today.Say something nice about it.
>>502390037Green Man
>>502389439>todayretard
>>502390037The massive maps were awesome. I prefer there to be a bit of walking around instead of just being dropped into non stop action like the games after.
>>502389016The UNSC and Covenant aren’t really that different. UNSC uses nukes on rebel cities and the Covenant use lazer nukes on UNSC cities
>>502390651It's okay when the UNSC does it.
>>502390651The UNSC created the vessel for the Jjaro, so they have divine right.
>>502390241Yes, today.
This level was sweet
>>502391061nah
Just played my first game of Halo CE MP for the cheevos.It fucking sucks.
>>502391643It rocks u r gay. Try playing the CTF in the custom game’s browser
>>502391643Halo CE is actually the best multiplayer if you grok it.

HALO CHADSHOW DO WE FEEL ABOUT THE NEW 1V1I WANT A DIFFERENT MAP THAT UNDER PART SECTION SUCKS BUT OTHERWISE MAP IS GOODSTOP SPAWNING ME WITH SENSORWOULD BE COOL IF ONE MODE WAS LIKE 1 FLAG OR SOMETHING
>>502396209I don't play Infinite.
I need to rule over Halo Studios with a (mostly) iron fist.
>>502358981>343 is chasing the remake trend now jesus christ, it's going to failthe only way to save halo is to scale down production on a new halo game and fire every faggot that keeps trying to turn halo into a starwars like extended universejut make a good halo game that has lower stakes, no open world slop and isn't graphically intensive
>>502389439>Halo Infinite launched three years ago today
>>502398547retard
>>502398103Yeah, chasing trends and le grafix is going to guarantee a bad game. It will be a stuttery mess on UE5 that will require a 4090 minimum and will need to be run at native 4k to look as clear as a 1080p game from 15 years ago. Even if they truly want to do Halo justice this time, they've already made so many huge missteps.

>>502405572They like it because they're bad at the game.
I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THESE FUCKING GAY ASS CUSTOM MAPS ON HALO 3FOR GODS FUCKING SAKEITS EVERY FUCKING GOD DAMN GAME
>>502407462Might get me crucified but most of the favourite custom game modes are crap gimmicky shit.
After a rough first session, Frigg Friday Snowbound ended up being pretty fun. To the anon(s) who played it, and to the brilliant armchair Sandbox Designers itt, geniuses like myself: I replaced the shotgun on Snowbound with a Plasma Rifle, and I need opinions on this.... Replacing the shotgun with a Plasma Rifle was mostly out of an impulse to tease/frustrate people rushing for the shotgun. The emphasis on my Snowbound edit is now placed on the Carbines and BR: the Splazer and Beam Rifle are each replaced with a single Mauler in each base, the Brute Shot near Overshields is replaced with a Rocket Launcher, and the Brute Shot near Camo is replaced with a Sentinel Beam.Dawned on me after sleeping on it that I could replace the shotgun spawn with a piece of equipment. Any ideas?Thought Radar Jammer might be fun, because of the tunnels and bases being separate from the outdoors. Trip Mine might be funny in the tunnels. Regenerator seems like it could be tactical and aggressive. Or I could replace it with another weapon. So many choices.
>>502407462I remember there was this one custom map on Sandtrap called “Train Heist”. It was sweet. Infection mode where you spawn on the elephant which has a bunch of shit on it and everyone moves slow. The “zombies” have mongooses and shitty guns like spikers. Was probably the most fun custom map but I’ve only seen it one time unfortunately.
>>502410767Add a warthog pls
>>502391182I mostly hated Randy's maps and everything he did to CE really but this one is surprisingly well designed. I always had fun with it
>>502412930The Randy fuel rod is better than the Bungie versions.
>it was actually just a cudgel
>>502413206Actually yes. I will concede on that.
>>502411164Hogs are obvs. fun with teams and objective gametypes, but idk how fun it would be to drive on Snowbound. There's that trench in the center of the map with a cliff on red side you wouldn't be able to drive up, so drivers would probably filter towards the blue base. Plus you have the tunnels: it'd be too easy for players to just avoid hogs altogether, putting the team in a hog at a disadvantage if they're not holding the bomb. With all that said, Isolation has tunnels large enough for hogs to drive in, and I'm running that on Sunday...
>>502413479lol No.
>>502414523Not a regular.
>>502414803Thank goodness.
the sacred box...
>>502415049i saw it
>>502415760The box... you opened it...holy hell that console gore
>>502415997you must convert the halo 4 console to a pc block
>>502415538i saw it
>>5024160141. No. 2. No.3. Seriously it's bad for the airflow of your console to cut a hole in it.
>>502292576Reach a good shit

>half life got a 2 hour documentary and a fairly big update for half life 2's 20th anniversary >halo got nothing but stuff made by the community for halo 2's 20th anniversary and mcc's 10th Why are they like this
>>502425240That's super annoying. Sometimes I forget the names of some vehicles so I type Covenant Vehicles Halo 2 or something in google, and they list everything as Type 69-Light Armored Vehicle or some shit. Dude, just call it by it's normal fucking name. None of the Marines or Covenant characters call any of these vehicles by their manufacturer's nomenclature. Stop doing this.

reminder that this happened
>>502428359>the ghost on halopediaThat's actually just one Ghost that has been seen in Halo. The others are listed on https://www.halopedia.org/Ghost
>>502439304>7 entries>4 of them are reskinsI'm surprised there isn't autistic re-classification of every Bungie Halo ghost, including an explanation for why the Halo 1 ghost doesn't boost and floats higher, why the 2 and 3 ghosts look a little different, and why the Reach ghost also has a new look. /sarcasm

>>502439304>infinite ghost is a bespoke production and not just a modified classic ghost Alright then, so why does it look like a classic ghost with some additional armor welded on- you know what, nevermind. The lore is a complete mess when it comes to classifications and shit, just have a look at mjolnir these days. Armor customisation being canon was such a mistake.
>>502415760Here’s my targeting computer. I’ve destroyed so many noobs on this thing since 2015. It actually came with MCC and the box had Masterchefs helmet on it
Why are there fusion coils on Delta Arena?
>>502414391Put a elephant on snowbound please
Delta Arena doesn't play like Halo.
>>502442506the xbone is such a piece of shit
Delta Arena plays like Halo
Wow Halo 5 is turbo dead
>>502445121No xbone rules
>>502446139Good riddance honestly.
>>502453732It’s caturday
>>502454957Yummy.>*starts tuggin it to WMBF*
>>502440365That is exactly the kind of thing I would expect from Halo.
>>502446139It's a 9 year old game with no PC release. Of course it's dead
Should CEmake have sprint?
>>502465140NO
>>502350458flood in general is creepy
>>502465140Yes it should, I like sprintAlthough honestly I hope they implement whatever will make Halo a very popular FPS again, whether that's sprint or no sprint
Thoughts on this Chief costume?
>>502472704Go play cod the
>>502465140how does she not get raped constantly?
>>502473654No. I will play Halo with sprint.
>>502475086Not Halo.
>>502475748It literally is Halo though. Every Halo since and including Reach has had sprint.
>>502476528Reach was the beginning of the decline of Halo
>>502476941I liked Reach a lot. Great multiplayer. Introduced some great guns too.
how fucking dead is this game i can't find a lobby at 3pm on saturday in the UNITED STATES?
Maybe Halo Studios should do some focus groups of gamers, not just Halo fans but gamers in general. See if they prefer sprint or no sprint. Whichever option would make Halo popular again, put that in the game.
>>502477368They would say yes because it would be mostly zoomers who play these terrible twitch shooters
>>502477368>Whichever option would make Halo popular again, put that in the game.Leave forever and find the closest industrial meat grinder to throw yourself into. Being Halo is not about being popular. Chasing popular things is what put Halo on a downhill trend since Reach.
The thing about whether or not anything is popular is you can literally make things be popular. Like the original Halo pissed off Quake fans because it was too slow, both movement and ttk, but Halo has consistent comprehensible rules and fairness built into its gameplay, Bungie were a likeable company back in the day able to sell that kind of game to people, convince people why it's fun, and Microsoft was publishing with the budget to market it. If they want Halo, actual Halo, to be popular, they should focus on making it likeable again, and pitching to people why it's fun, rather than making it something else.
>>502477698Good>>502478998No I won't do that. I like Halo and I'd like to it see it popular again.
>>502480321You don't like Halo. Even if you think you like "Halo" you're a fan of the brand and the label, not the platonic ideal of what Halo actually is, that became popular in the first place. You're not interested in the ideal of Halo becoming popular.
>>502481125I'm interested in Halo, not the brand, but the gamesWhat I'm not interested in is people telling me which Halos I'm not allowed to likeI'll just play them for myself and decide for myself if I like them
>>502479319You don’t even have to add all this modern fps garbage to make it better. Halo 1-3 improved each game in small ways that didn’t fundamentally change what it is.>Halo 2 added dual wielding, playable elites, secondary colors, emblems, new game modes >Halo 3 added equipment, armor customization, forge, new game modesNone of this changed the actual gameplay that much and it still remained what Halo should be while still adding new features
>>502477368Most Halo fans are people who started with 343i games.Bungie Halo fans are a minority.
>>502480321>popularThere's that word again. Get out, 343/Microsoft. Nobody likes you.
>>502482315>>502486560>"I love Lord of the Rings. I'm a huge Lord of the Rings fan!">"Oh cool, what's your favorite book in the trilogy?">"Oh I haven't read them.">"Oh ... well do you mean the Hobbit novel?">"I haven't read that either!">"So you must mean the Peter Jackson movies....">"Nope, haven't seen those!">"So then what do you mean you're a "Lord of the Rings" fan?">"I just LOVE Rings of Power!">"Uh huh...">"I like Lord of the Rings and I'd like to see it popular again :3
I'll make the assertion I never hear anyone make: Halo became popular *because* it was slow paced.It might not become popular again if it returns to slow paced combat, but that's what put it on the map.
30 seconds of fun, not "less than 2 seconds of fun, then sprinting away to your next target"
Rewatching Arby n Chief. Arby is always a Debbie Downer and self righteous pc white knight cuck. Chief on the other hand is always positive and happy and makes people laugh.

Everything comes to an end!It's the weekend. Time for part 2 of "Saturn Saturday" look for it in the MCC custom games browser!Map is Relic, gametype is Neutral Flag CTF with Plasma Rifle/Magnum starts. Had an extremely comfy session of this 12 hours ago, and hoping to repeat that successSee you on the beach!

Decent session of CTF on Relic today. However, Euro hours are proving to be more enjoyable. Gee I wonder why lmao>>502497730No :)Have a nice Saturday!
>>502499007Don’t mention who really won the UNSC elections either

>>502374551Fuck no. Halo 2 legendary runs were pure cancer without energy sword because of just how tanky they were (also drones too wtf?)
Now I just need to start and finish Gaylo 4 Legendary and I will have beaten them all.
>>502507676It’s the hardest besides Halo 2.
>>502507805Reach is harder.
>>502507805The last level of ODST was pure AIDS. 3 in general had absolute cancer vehicle maps. How bad is 4 when it comes to this? Hard doesn't even bother me, I just don't want to deal with AI not shooting the ghost killing me.
>>502508101Halo 4 has one level where you might have to rely on AI friendlies, which is awful against Legendary enemies, but even then you can just grab a wraith and smooth sail to the end.The very first level on Spartan Ops shows how bad Legendary marines truly are in vehicles sections in Halo 4's sandbox. It's so bad that one of the last mission has your friendly Spartan-IVs completely invincible just to keep up with the onslaught of enemies.
>>502506617Regardless, the meme (a /tg/ meme which pretty accurately describes the disintegration of several major /tg/ series) explains the rise of secondaries and tertiaries who don't actually like the thing that was originally successful in the first place, and are attracted to a series for entirely different reasons than what the series was originally about. .
>>502490781>that's what put it on the map.And it's what would make it stand out. Chasing trends means you're always trying to catch up to whatever is popular. By the time you've released a game are competing with that trend, you're already behind whatever the new hotness is. Halo needs to be unapologetically Halo to carve out a purpose for itself. Meaning pre-Reach (some stuff can be inspired by Reach, just not core gameplay stuff).
I can’t beat this level on legendary because 343 made the game harder on MCC because of the fps. Thanks 343
Works on my machine.
>>502510380Hide behind the debris. Not memeing that's what I did.
Does Vergil look like a penis or is it just me?
>>502512056Looks like a alien peepee
>>502510380It's horrible, but barely possible. The space part of that mission will take you an hour+ on its own.
>>502509474If we’re still talking about Halo, would that just be newfags liking sprint or just the can of worms that is 343 writing.
>>502484678You forgot about Max Hoberman. He wrote the groundwork for Xbox Live and matchmaking.Reminder Max Hoberman aka Yeroen was the soul of Halo's multiplayerDid you know that the original plan for the Halo 2/3 multiplayer wasn't even what we ended up with, they wanted to do a Halo 5 Warzone like mode? Max Hoberman had to argue to get the classic arena-style mode in. Bungie didn't really take it seriously though, they all nicknamed Max's version of multiplayer "party game".Few realize that Halo multiplayer has its roots in Marathon. It's also what first put Bungie on the radar.>"Gephyrophobia, fear of bridges. Yeah, another map, if I recall, with super verticality. A lot of people fall into this trap, which is people think bigger is better. I mean, hell, it happened even on the warfare stuff we were talking about for Halo 2 in some ways. Its just not always the case. In a lot of those maps they had this mandate, and I don’t remember where it came from, but we had to do bigger because bigger is better." -Max HobermanMax and his team kept working on Halo 2's multiplayer while everything else fell apart. The people working on Warzone ended up getting nowhere so Bungie decided by dump it and make Max's multiplayer mode the Halo 2/3 multiplayer.Halo 2 and 3 were the passion projects of Jaime Griesemer and Max Hoberman. They hate Reach more than any Halo fan.After Halo 3, Max Hoberman and Jaime Griesemer left Bungie and Sage Merrill became Gameplay Design Lead for Reach/Destiny (lol remember when everyone blamed him back then)
Is this the halo thread?
>>502510380lower your fps???
what if there were arbiter sections in the CE remake?
>>502510380This: >>502510535 You do what you gotta do. I sure as hell did. When you get to the Corvette part, head straight to that small area right in front of its engines in the back and take shots from there. It sucks but it works.
Man, what a shitty night for matchmaking.
Halofest next Saturday
>>502522697Reason why is because if it gets too hot anyway, you can quickly move underneath the Corvette until it clears up and then head back to the engine compartment and resume taking potshots. It's still gonna be a pain in the ass and you are gonna die if they get just a couple lucky shots in on you which is bullshit, but you'll eventually slog through it.
>>502522884Custom Server Browser to the rescue. You can always count on Halo 3 Fiesta FFA Slayer on Epitaph, Halo 2 Swords on Lockout, Halo 4 Super Fiesta on Ultimate Ragnarok, Halo CE CTF on Timberland, and Desert Bus in Halo Reach. And don't brush off mods. I've been playing Ultimate Firefight lately in Halo 3 more often than I've been playing matchmaking. It's like nonstop Big Team Battle with so much extra variety, and then it switches to Big Team Heavies whenever a boss shows up or a more tactical squad-shooter when it's time for the bonus Arena stages.
>>502523736I asked if you wanna coop Ultimate Firefight before and you didn't respond, you shit.
erm
S-so...w-what's everyone's favorite weapon from Halo?I like the grenade launcher from Reach and the Brute Shot from Halo 3.
>>502526979>>502527352Did I say you could post in my general little bitch?
Look, it's Cortana! She's happy to see you! You should talk to her on Windows 10/11 while you still have time (before Microsoft decommissions her).
>>502527352i like the energy sword and the fuel rod, mostly because i remember as a kid wanting to use them so badly in halo 1 and then getting to use them in halo 2 was so exciting
spikersbros, have i arrived yet?
>>502528319What a cool-looking weapon. Always thought it should have been a semi-auto pistol for brutes (Like in the live action Halo 3 trailers) but now that we have the mangler I think I prefer it as a machine-gun.
>>502528319>aesthetically cool >fucking garbage to use Always thought it should have been a "heavy pistol" sort of thing like the mangler, rather than a limp dick feeling smg.
>>502528708>>502528319No reason that the Spiker, Mauler and Brute Shot should not come back.
>>502531072Infinite is shit to begin with so they should just add nearly every vehicle and weapon to ever exist. At this point it can't make it any worse.
>>502528319>game about mostly brutes>no spikers>no maulers>no brute shots>no prowlers>shit chopper with abysmal handlingWhat the fuck were they thinking with Infinite?
>>502532119>unfinished spiker in files >unfinished brute vehicle in files I look forward to 7 years from now when the NDA's expire and we find out what the fuck happened.
>>502532119Honestly, I'm not really sure shock weapons are that Brute like to begin with. Electricity can be pretty brutal but it still seems a bit off.
>>502533631Yeah it doesn't fit with their "vibe" of blades and inhumane projectile weapons. Shock weapons seem like something the UNSC would develop given that they're fighting robots and big assholes with shields.
>>502518909You're misattributing a lot to Max Hoberman that actually should be credited to Hardy LeBel. There's a whole Actman interview with him - regardless of what you think of Actman he did his work as a (valuable/valid) journalist in that interview.https://youtu.be/OheqVrMGPv0?feature=shared>Reminder Max Hoberman aka Yeroen was the soul of Halo's multiplayer>did you know that the original plan for the Halo 2/3 multiplayer wasn't even what we ended up with, they wanted to do a Halo 5 Warzone like mode?That should be attributed to Hardy on both accounts. They actually had a very similar plan for Halo CE, a mode very similar to what became Invasion in Halo: Reach, where players would play as humans versus Elites on scenarios like the Silent Cartographer beach. This was shaping up not to be ready for Halo CE's release, and they were planning to ship it without multiplayer, but Hardy LeBel insisted there should be multiplayer and scrapped together the entire multiplayer component himself. He aimed, specifically, to make it a party-game-like couch multiplayer component with Nintendo quality and polish, like N64 Smash Brothers. He invented the Active Camo and Overshield powerups, which campaign designers found out about, and asked if he could help them get them into the campaign, which is why Halo CE has its powerups scattered through some of the levels. It's true that Hoberman basically invented Xbox Live and matchmaking, and it's true that he had to fight to keep Halo's multiplayer the traditional arena multiplayer, where Bungie wanted to finish what they weren't able to finish in Halo CE: they *did* want to do a Warzone-like multiplayer component for Halo 2, but calling him the soul of Halo's multiplayer ignores Hardy pulling the entire component for Halo CE's multiplayer together himself.Hoberman is actually only credited as a User Interface lead on Halo 1. https://bungie.fandom.com/wiki/Hardy_LeBelhttps://bungie.fandom.com/wiki/Max_Hoberman_(Yeroen)
>>502534580Replying to an 8 year old pasta with a disguised narrative lol.
On top of this >>502534580For being the "soul of Halo's multiplayer" he's sure made some of the worst of it; to be completely brutally frank. Certain Affinity did the Defiant Map Pack, which is the worst Map Pack in Halo: Reach, including Condemned (the large space station arena consisting of a circular outer section, divided into 4 major sections, surrounding a central low-grav section - generally way too big for 4v4, but not really able to support 8v8 btb) and Highlands (the Spartan training facility map, which no one ever plays). Both of these maps are badly laid out and have a lack of visual polish compared to the in-house Bungie maps. CA also did the Anniversary multiplayer, and you'd be tempted to give them more credit there, the maps mostly play well, but they are all remakes of Hardy LeBel maps, barring the Timberland and Headlong remakes. Additionally they also have a lack of visual polish compared to Bungie's stuff. Compare the skybox on Ridgeline to Bungie's Tempest: Tempest has a skillful understated matte painting, where Ridgeline, the Timberland remake, has a completely busy skybox with a ton of Forerunner towers that don't really fit with Bungie's Forerunner design language. Ridgeline in general fails to capture the vibe of Timberland. CA also did a lot of work for Halo 4 and 5 (mostly completely forgettable maps), and did the Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer which is somehow the worst multiplayer component in terms of visuals. Even worse than 4 and 5: although you wonder how much of that was due to H2A being rushed. Hoberman seems really good at marketing himself and his team, where Hardy sort of just slipped into the background and moved on - but I'll be honest it seems like Hoberman is responsible for some of the worst of Halo's multiplayer and its competitive oriented gameplay, as opposed to Hardy's intentions.
>>502536043Jamie Griesemer, weapon sandbox designer, also pivoting from focusing on fun Campaign weapon design (ie. 60 round AR, automatic Magnum with massive stopping power, Plasma Pistol firing a massive grenade-like projectile when overcharged, Plasma Rifle hit-stun, shotgun with actual range, Sniper with night vision) to Multiplayer-focused weapon balance, frankly led to Halo losing its soul. Tthere still are a lot of fun weapons in the Halo 2 and 3 sandbox despite the multiplayer focus (I argue for the Energy Sword in Halo 2, and the 3rd person turret weapons/flamethrower in Halo 3), but the problem with Halo 4's CoD style balance, where every weapon except for power weapons are essentially variants on automatic, precision rifle, and sidearm archetypes started with Halo 2 and its doubling of the sandbox. A doubling in which every weapon received a covenant or human equivalent where there hadn't been one. Who knows whether this was done for campaign purposes, and giving the Arbiter gamplay which would be comparable to Chief's, or for multiplayer purposes and making the alien weapons "competitively balanced", but you end up with a situation where>H1 Magnum becomes the BR and Carbine>AR becomes the SMGs and Plasma Rifle loses its uniqueness to be balanced against the SMG>awesome H1 Shotgun gets nerfed to hell to balance it for multiplayer against the E Sword>Sniper and Rockets get a covenant mirror in the Beam Rifle and Fuel Rod>Plasma Pistol gets severely nerfed to sidearm role, putting it on par with the frankly pretty bad H2 MagnumBesides the Energy Sword, the only truly unique feeling weapons in Halo 2 are the Sentinel Beam and Brute Shot, and neither of them are really excellent additions to the original Halo 1 multiplayer sandbox.Halo 2 was the first step in catering to the competitive crowd and it frankly overcrowded the sandbox with redundant weapons. You could remove almost half the Halo 2 sandbox and the game would basically play the same.
>>502537815>Plasma Pistol firing a massive grenade-like projectile when overchargedGod I miss that. It should have returned when Halo moved away from dual wielding.
>>502538247Honestly, a huge one I miss is the AR being an homage to the Aliens Pulse Rifle.AR in 1 looks like this massive cannon, the muzzle flash is huge, you get these huge thick tracers, the ammo counter, 60 rounds: it's the Pulse Rifle. Then it gets dropped completely in 2 and turned into a piddly little machine gun in 3 to make it multiplayer balanced. What an awful change.

>>502539132I hate the bulldog on every fibre of my being. It's on the same level as bethesda for "complete nonsense" in gun design.
>>502528319Grim.
>>502539336No fun allowed except for the sniper rifle. Only snipers are allowed to have fun. No one else is allowed to enjoy Halo.
Fuck you know what. This represents probably my biggest problem with balancing things for competitive FPS multiplayer instead of for fun >>502538625FPS multiplayer balance lacks testosterone. There I said it. It's about making sure no gun is too powerful to keep it all "fair and balanced", so you end up with a sandbox where absolutely no gun makes you feel like you're swinging your massive dick. It all becomes little precision pea shooters.Where the fuck is my 99 round fully automatic rifle firing explosive tips, with built-in grenade launcher attachment, and a flamethrower taped to it? Hell why aren't Halo's weapons COOLER than that? It's a goddamn sci-fi fantasy about a cyborg in power armor mowing down hordes of aliens and you're telling me THIS is what he has to work with? Fuck OFFFFF
>>502538625The CE AR has never been topped in how it feels and how it looks. >sounds and feels weak as piss in h3 >they also stretched it out so it looks weird Then along comes Reach >made it look absolutely hideous >still weak as shit but it sounds a bit better The fact the HK slap has never returned after CE is a crime too.
>>502539132Hate me all you want but Halo 5 did it better Shotgun: Pump action weapon that did massive damage. ScatterShot: Automatic fire with special ability Meanwhile Infinite spread fire weapons somehow have similar ROF and the heatwave does nothing special besides an alt fire that isn't that special. Sure Halo 5 had an ugly looking shotgun but it was actually useful. The scattershot had an actually useful ability.
The H3 Mauler was an homage to the Marathon 2 dual wieldable double barrel shotgun.https://youtu.be/YVKZR0PELsg?feature=sharedIt was a good addition to the sandbox. Didn't feel as powerful as the M2 shotguns tho
>>502540198The marathon 2 shotguns make my dick hard. The mauler (much like most of halo 3's weapons honestly) feel pretty pathetic.
>>502540198honestly i bet that bungies halo 4 was going to just be a halo version of marathon
>>502540728>a Halo version of MarathonThat's just Halo CE.And honestly no, they were too cucked by that point. Destiny is also Marathon but the gameplay sucks donkey dick and most of the story was removed before the game released.
>>502540728I think Bungie's Halo 4 would have just been Reach with H3 aesthetics.
>>502527352The brute shot in H2A multiplayer is a beast
>>502528319I like the idle animation where you run your finger across the blade
Having a good heavy think about how some weapons feel powerful in the Halo 3 sandbox, versus some weapons which actually are powerful statistically. And how a weapon feeling powerful is preferable to it actually being powerful in the sandbox. Like I'd argue the SMG feels pretty powerful because of its sound effects and muzzle flash. Especially feels great to dual wield: even though the Covenant Carbine is probably the better weapon. But I'd sooner remove the Carbine from the sandbox than the SMG because I'd rather have the fantasy of dual wielding machineguns than the experience of plinking somebody in the face with a deadly gun that looks and sort of feels like a super soaker.
>>502546438I'd remove the carbine solely because it's fucking boring. It's functionally exactly the same as a human weapon but purple. The needle rifle atleast had a gimmick.
>>502547007They should remove the battle rifle, Dmr, and pistol scope. They take no skill to use.
>>502548478Based honestly
>>502548478I don't know if it's because I grew up with PC shooters from the 90's before I played Halo but people cumming themselves over "BR 4 shots" was always weird. It's not even that hard to do?
So gay you aren’t allowed to kill civilians in Reach. I always hated how they also make it so you can’t kill any marine’s because they will one shot kill you if you do. Faggot developers don’t let you be a bad guy in any of their games.
>>502551748>get out of map >RETURN TO THE BATTLEFIELD OR FUCKING DIE IN 10 SECONDS >stand on lamp post >RETURN TO THE BATTLEFIELD 10... 9... Honestly what the fuck were Bungie on for Reach?
Okay bros. I'm in the market for SLOP NO-BRAIN FPS gameplay.Is infinite even remotely viable compared to CoD and BF? Is MCC where I go? And if so, which of the games?

Was meaning to run Sol Sunday about 6 hours ago, Neutral Bomb Assault on Isolation, edited to have a more chill team gameplay oriented sandbox, but got a bit sick. You'll forgive me, won't you?After lurking this thread, came up with a Halo 3 gametype called "Power Fantasy" and edited the map Isolation to support it>SMG and Energy Sword as starting weapons>4 Machine Gun turrets on the map>SMGs, Maulers, Gravity Hammers, Battle Rifles, Flamethrower, Spike Grenades, Firebombs, Ghosts, and a Chopper>Invincibility, Overshields, Regenerators, Bubble Shields, Radar Jammers, and Flares (if you don't know the Invincibility equipment: it's a H3 campaign equipment piece that gives you about 10 seconds of invincibility. You'd think this would be terrible for balance, worse than Overshields and Armor Lock, but the fact that players can drop it if they don't use it makes it very interesting in multiplayer)The idea with these weapons is that they're weapons that look cool and sound good. On top of this, gave players 150% damage resistance to slow down the pace of the combat. Ran a quick test session and it seemed to go over well. Surprisingly it seems pretty *Fair and Balanced* despite the overpowered sandbox. I will plan to run this for the 2nd session of Sol Sunday, in about 5 and a half hour
>>502576954Bloom is actually a good mechanic. Forces players to slow down and learn the skill of pacing their shots to maintain accuracy, but also creates risk/reward tension for spamming the trigger: at close ranges you might get lucky if your opponent catches most of your random spread. Reach Magnum is the best tuned when it comes to this. All that said, DMR is still a shit weapon.
>>502580440At close range, bloom doesn't matter.
>>502581173It does, a lot.
>>502581217It really doesn't. And its impact is lessened the closer you get to someone. Putting it on headshot weapons was a mistake for that very reason, because it only allows them to perform even better in other weapons' niches.
>>502581329No, it definitely does. Bloom increase the randomness of your spread. It's less pronounced with the DMR (which is a badly designed weapon), but with the Magnum, if you start spamming the trigger at close range the outcome is *very* random. You might get enough shots on target to strip shields and randomly land a headshot, or you might miss just enough shots to not even break your opponent's shields before he melees you to death.This is a whole seperate (but related) topic, but I think that randomness, which compfags hate, goes a long way towards making Halo fun. The most fun weapon in the game, the Plasma Rifle, has a random spread, which makes a strafing duel between two players with Plasma Rifles way more tense and interesting than if it were an accurate weapon.
Flood based horror game when
>>502586180Hopefully never.The Flood suck as a main antagonist.
>502582298The spread is a cone, and that randomness matters less the closer you get to the point of that cone. That's why the AR is used up close.
>>502586723oh but your heckin' pronouns and ugly ass brutes who look like trannies better? Is that why halo infinite is so popular?
>>502587874Infinite sucks too, retard.
>>502586180Flood are awesome. I think Gravemind would have been cooler if they made him more mysterious and didn’t show him or have him talk to you so much. They could have even added a supernatural element to him. The Flood seem almost demonic.
>>502588521well whatever you like is gay then
Anyone know how to make a chain link fence in Reach forge?
>valve>gives hl2 for free for its 20th anniversary>m$>releases halo 2 2003 e3 demo or its 20th anniversary
>>502586828Yea sure, obviously, but a Magnum, Needle Rifle, even the DMR with default bloom, is never going to trump the Shotgun, or a Grav Hammer, or the Sword, within the range of those weapons. I say all of this having recently tested it several times iin custom games, even using my beefed up Reach Magnum with the H2 pistol rate-of-fire and full auto enabled. It's still too random to consistently kill at close range. The rare cases where you do shred shields AND get a headshot still don't make it preferable to a close range weapon.
>>502593260>gives hl2 for freeuntil a certain date where you don't own the game anymore
>>502594675>free to keep when you get it before 18 Nov @ 11:30pm
I don't get why people who hate the 343 canon can't just separate it in their headcanon. I mean, that's what I do.I guess it sucks that places like Halopedia automatically incorporate shit from the 343 canon, but it's not like there's that much material pre-343 you'd have to remember, anyway.For me I pick and choose what I like in the pre-343 era *I don't count Buckell's works for example), and even still count the Mantis as canon, since it's cool and designed by a former Bungie dev. I don't see why people can't just like, do that, like me.
>riding my gauss hog with special rocket launcher>game say I'm too goodFuck Covies gun do?
>>502597604I mean I do that too, but it makes it really annoying to discuss Halo with people where it was less so before.
>>502597770>infinite enemy banshees reinforcement because you're having too much funLame.
>>502597770I love getting the brute shot and rocket launcher and getting in the passenger seat on the warthog. So much fun. Idk why barely anyone does that. It’s actually quite effective.
>>502597770I wish someone would steal this mod and remove all the stupid balance
Halo 3, but the BR has a reduced rate of fire so it can't effortlessly win up close. There's your new Halo.
>>502601827Just take the stupid battle rifle out of the game.
>>502601827Reduce shield damage to remove completely shields by an additional burst instead.
The Endless
The H1 Magnum and H2/H3 BR are all a good fit in their respective sandboxes. They actually all function almost exactly the same 12 rounds for the Magnum, 12 bursts for the BR, 4 headshots for a kill: and they have a niche as the mid range upgrade to the AR. Important as a possible counter to a sloppy Sniper player. The only problem with them is using them as spawning weapons. They should be treated as upgrade weapons you have to seek out on the map.

I mean, that's what I do.because 343 made everything from the shitty novels canon to the main games and refused to just drop their shitty canonit caused this problem of people not knowing what halos actual fucking story is, because bookfags keep spouting their nonsense i watch streamers play halo for the first time and there are these retards in the chat and comments that keep referencing the books and characters that aren't in the fucking trilogy it makes people playing halo for the first time so confused

It was the Constipators.
>>502602470At this point I wouldn't be too against doing that. I'm so tired of the vocal competitive minority who think it absolutely needs to be broken. I'd still give it one more chance with the change I proposed, mostly because I like the firing sound effect. The projectiles are "slow" in Halo 3, so that also helps. I'm done with people who think "I do well with it" means it's fine as it is. The same logic applied to the AR would mean it would have very little no bullet spread and you could reliably get 3+ kills per magazine at medium range. "Wow! I'm doing well with this weapon and it feels good to use! Perfect balance!" Idiots. Absolute idiots.
If you had to pick one of these extremes. Which one?A: Every single weapon to ever exist is added. This means every version, variant and skin. B: Every single vehicle variant to ever exist from all games and all versions and variants come back. C: All abilities come back that ever existed. Loadouts, equipment, Spartan abilities, ordnance and anything similar.
I'm done with playing Reach. The jetpack is the most unfun thing ever.
>>502651598B is the most fun
what's with 343 and their obsession with the idea of rampancy so much?
>>502651598B because that means all the interesting Halo Wars vehicles escape into a non-RTS context. Totally want a Vulture in a FPS game.
is it worth trying to reinstall and play infinite again?
>>502651598Assuming the base game you're working from is Halo 1: C. Halo 1's sandbox just works. It approaches a platonic ideal of arena shooter design: the 5 human weapons fit archetypes that show up in every shooter, and you don't need more. >mid-range starter weapon you want to get rid of (AR), mid-range workhorse that's better than the starter but worse situationaly (Magnum), mid-range 1-hit-kill AOE weapon that's useless at long range (you can dodge the slow moving projectile) and useless at very close range (AOE will kill you if you use Rockets in shotty range), close-range 1-hit kill which is useless at other ranges (Shotgun), long-range 1-hit kill that's unwieldy at close rangeYou don't need more than these 5 to have a fun shooter. I believe these approach a platonic ideal of FPS design, and I think it could be mathematically proven: because of the limitations of the laws of physics, these range-based weapon roles are natural conclusions. On top of this, I believe redundant weapons in a sandbox create an impression that they're less powerful. It's a perceptual thing. If I'm having to choose between two weapons that fill the same role, they both seem less powerful than one single weapon which is ideal for the role in question. So with this in mind, with Halo CE's original 8 weapon sandbox; it approaches this almost platonic simplicity and perfection, and the game has been fun for more than 2 decades. Then when it comes to vehicles, Halo CE also has each vehicle role filled in an almost ideal/archetypal way. It's hard to imagine adding any vehicle to the Halo 1 stable that would *truly* function differently than those first 4 vehicles, without, say, adding water terrain which demands watercraft, or adding zero-g sections demanding 6-axis spacecraft.The only thing Halo 1 doesn't have is Equipment, which was a genuine innovation to the Arena Shooter formula in 3, on the level of Halo CE introducing vehicles to arena shooters.
>>502658931no
so eepy
>>502658931Yes, but only if you play the following modes:>Big Team Battle (With all objective modes turned off, because teammates are unreliable unless it's slayer where you don't have to rely on them)>Firefight Fiesta>Squad Battle (objective modes turned off)>Customs local (using classic settings with sprint, clamber, slide turned off and physics/gravity/movement adjusted to be more like classic, VS bots)>CampaignOccasionally it's alright to play customs through the browser but getting into matches is still shaky and you can easily get disconnected or jump into a match where you're waiting to respawn.
>>502651598B, easy. Not even close.
>>502666783And I thought 343i were bad at Covenant materials what is that tomato Phantom and Scarab?
>>502666921Banished version. The Banished Ghost actually looks pretty good, I guess maybe the bigger vehicles would require a lot more effort to remodel/retexture. Keep in mind a lot of modded assets are made/ported by different modders, and they all jsut share each other's work, so you can expect the styles to clash and the quality to be all over the place. But ultimately it needs to be fun before it's pretty, which the fun part they do a pretty good job of.

I had a dream last night about a map in Halo 4. It was some kind of beachy map with an L-shape. Had a series of upper platforms in the middle with slides back down to the beach. Come to think of it it basically looked like a waterpark. I was going 1v1 against somebody and I remember thinking, in the dream, "hey this is a pretty fun multiplayer map for Halo 4"I got up and had an impulse to boot it up in the MCC and remembered it doesn't exist.

>>502708854Nah, it's definitely the worst of the OT. Arguably better than Reach though.Easily better than HShit.

>>502718872>HiddenXperia wants a Halo 1 remake with more lore from the booksby hell, what a bad opinion>Hardy LeBel wants a Halo reboot(?) primarily to allow a new team to flex their creativity rather than be hampered by the past Ok but why reboot Halo then? Why not just make something COMPLETELY new. Maybe using Halo as a foundation in places, in areas that work, like the gameplay, maybe some features of the aesthetic language and the setting and style of the fiction: but why call it Halo? Isn't a reboot just tying your new team to the past, too?Also>implying Microsoft has hired anyone anywhere near as talented as peak Bungie at Halo StudiosI'll believe it when I see it.

Is it just me, or does setting the weapon set to "Classic Weapons" in Item Options on any Halo 1 gametype, which should remove the Fuel Rod and Flamethrower, just not fucking work?

>>502763089It works if you do regular CTF and turn on classic weapons.
Ok yea, it's specifically the "Classic CTF" gametype where the setting just doesn't work. Also using that gametype and setting it to "no weapons" leaves the Fuel Rod/FlamethrowerSo I guess if you want to play Classic CTF, use the base CTF gametype and edit it, instead of using the Classic CTF gametype.

>>502718872an absolutely iconic interview
On a scale from 1 to 10, how much faith do you have that "Halo Studios" will make a good Halo game.
>>5027713211, since it's the lowest point on that scale.There is zero evidence that anything changed at 343i and Microsoft is unlikely to permanently hire developers and build in-house expertise. The switch to Unreal Engine is a dead giveaway. Enjoy Halo CE Remake being done by 18 months contractors that will not work on Halo ever again.
>>502771321Looking at their first work as a new studio, the recent winter update, nothing has changed. The Unreal preview looked like molten shit, too.
>>5027713211. The last shitfinite update proved to me absolutely nothing is different about them.
holy fuck hardy lebel telling it straightthe head of bungie was a giga geek who was deeply passionate about a lot of the influences of halo. Bonnie, Kiki, and Frank had none of that.
>>5027713210.1How do I know this? Deferred rendering and UE5. It will play and look like fuzzy garbage no matter what.Had it been id Tech, I'd be slightly hopeful because they would have taken the hint on how to make good games. Now I'm just waiting for an inevitable disaster that will insult me and then spit in my face by expecting me to buy an RTX 6090.343 = Jannies = Halo Studios. And don't think I don't blame Microsoft.
>>502718872>hiddenxperia constantly jumping in and telling hardy lebel what he wants insteadholy fuck let hardy talk
>>502718872His insistence on a full reboot is obnoxious, especially since he outright admits he doesn't care about Halo as much. He's just an old man who wants all new because he's bored and fat.
I honestly believe the Halo Studios thing is 343s way of possibly tricking normies into giving them praise just because it looks nice. Normies see what they think is classic Halo and will hype it up.
>>502771321Dunno if it's actually a straight 1, maybe more like 3 because of the massive shakeup, but basically this: >>502771541343/Halo Studios for the past 10 years has shown overwhelming evidence that they would make a bad Halo game. Just the way they operate, carry themselves, focus on the stuff they want to do rather than what they should do, combined with the same Microsoft that hasn't changed, it's just gonna be the same. They're still doing that stupid contract stuff instead of having a proper team. They're taking shortcuts by going with unreal. Nothing is gonna change.Why was the first thing they revealed the graphics? Why not a level blockout and showcase of some mechanics to prove they can make Halo. Graphics aren't going to save Halo. Why did they spend all that time making a flood world they aren't even gonna use. They're just going to keep bullshitting around until the last minute when they need to slap a game together quick and release it full of bugs and unfinished with unnecessary gimmick mechanics they haven't playtested properly, as per usual.
The sad part is Halo Studios will have enough normies and twitch fags give it love and hype regardless of it actually going back to classic roots. They will see what they think is classic and cream over it despite it having nothing similar to classic Halo. Basically normies think 10 seconds of unreal videos means it'll be classic Halo.
>>502781024>They will see what they think is classicThey won't think. They will be instructed to think it's classic through advertising ("journalism" and shilling are included in this.).

>>502788673I hate those stupid little Banished flying robot things. They just look so dumb.
I think 3babs are more annoying than Reachkids. Atleast Reachkids can say that it had an "dark and gritty" artstyle shift, while 3babs pretend Halo is cartoony because of the H3 MP Spartans, while ignoring that the devs themselves say it's incorrect.
>>502789012On the enemy team they're the worst. But on your team they're like little bros who got your back. They're shielded, can fly, and are surprisingly aggressive. I think they're neat. I think their awkward behavior/animations make them unique and endearing. But only if they're on the same team. Otherwise I agree lol.
>>502789526Why do Halo 2 Enjoyers have to get so uppity for no reason? If you guys actually played your game then you'd have people to play with. no one is going to magically bring your matchmaking population back except you. You need to do your part and not just blame everyone else for the low playerbase. 3 and Reach babbies are doing fine, be happy for them. No one bullied you. You bullied yourself.

>>502816550also promethium knights just seem like rip-off borderlands ayylmaos
>>502816550That's actually the best mission of the game too. Every time I get to that cutscene I remember why I don't like Halo 4. Even at their highest point where that mission was so close to being Halo, they still managed to mess it up on purpose and sour the rest of the mission. And then when you finally think you've blocked it out by distracting yourself with the next vehicle segment, they force you to remember with that stupid Call of Duty Predator Missile at the very end. They just had to rub it in.
>>502816550You were not paying attention.When Humanity was indexed for reclamation, the Ljbrarian hid certain gifts.Only one of them was relevant for that mission.

Why couldn't the Librarian fix Cortana? Surely she would have known her importance to him.
Where were they even going with the Created? Were they planning on making a big epic boss fight with Cortana and you had to kill a bunch of Guardians on the way? Then what?Wonder if they would have introduced new Promethean enemies.
It's better not to care about Halo 4. None of the answers to your questions are satisfying.
Halo 4 Reboot
Favorite Promethean weapon?Binary Rifle is the most satisfying.
>>502827918I guess the most unique of the Halo 4 Promethean weapons is the Boltshot, since the others are basically just copies of existing weaponsMy favourite new weapons from Halo 4 would be the human ones: SAW and sticky detonator
>>502828796You can include Halo 5 too. 343 made the promethean stuff more unique. From what little I tried, the H5 Binary Rifle is probably one of the most satisfying weapons in the franchise. It's like the took the Focus Rifle, buffed the hell out of it, and made it a burst-fire power weapon that kills in basically one hit. It's a beam that doesn't kill exactly on one hit, you have to keep it on target for like half a second, but it feels so powerful and sounds great. It's a very unique weapon, nothing else really feels like it.
>>502825572What's with mods being completely unable to make new icons for guns. It's just a jpeg, how hard could it be?
>>502832303UI isn't fun for most people; it's a surprisingly large amount of work for little payoff. There's also having to deal with animations of said UI and having to swap out frames and stuff and maybe recode the behavior to match the new weapons, probably just easier to use an existing ammo counter. Most modders aren't pros, so of course they'd naturally want to work on stuff they're interested in like the weapons themselves which is already a lot of work on its own porting them from another engine and getting them to work.
>>502827918The Promethean weapons have a strange aesthetic that looks like they should be in a different game. In fact all the Forerunner stuff in Halo 4/5 looks like it needs an entirely new fiction premise to explain it all, since none of it seems to function the way Forerunner tech does in the trilogy. It's all shifting metal plates out of a Michael Bay Transformer movie, tron neon, shiny chrome, and excessive anti-grav, where the original Forerunner stuff was weathered, monolithic, completely still, and at least somewhat architecturally plausible. I know at least one of the Bungie team was an architect by trade. Very little overt anti-grav. Anyway: I think all the 343i Forerunner stuff would have been better suited to an original sci-fi title, instead of trying to fit it into Halo, but in terms of function I enjoyed the Suppressor and the Light Rifle(?) the one that functions like a BR unless you zoom in and it gives you a single more powerful shot. Problem is the Suppressor functions basically in the way I think the AR should: it's not very different in its handling from the Halo 1 AR or using a single SMG in 2 and 3. The AR should be a bullet hose. The sound effects on the Suppressor were nice, but again with all its floating implausible pieces that snap together it's hard for me to buy it as a Forerunner weapon. Then with the Light Rifle, I like multi-function weapons like the Plasma Pistol (or how the Sniper used to have Night Vision), but there's also no reason they shouldn't have just given that "burst fire unscoped/single shot scoped" ability to the BR. And speaking of the Halo 4 BR, I actually like the design of it visually: it looks like some kind of far-future scout weapon. Problem is it just doesn't look like a Halo weapon. It feels like a Metroid "Galactic Federation" trooper weapon or something. Cool, but needs its own story instead of being tacked onto Halo.
>>502816550I seriously have no fucking idea what even happened in the Librarian cutscene and no one has ever been able to explain it to me in a way that makes sense.
>>502837247something something flood killing humans, something something humans being put in zoos after being buck broken by didact's bros. apparently we were genetically modified to be retarded or something. something something composer (machine thing) that magically turns you into a sovlless digitized machine / software wagie (the promethium you are fighting).the magical human genes in John Halo allegedly make you immune to the composer (?). that's basically what I got out of it, it made no fucking sense and I literally turned my brain off for most of it, so maybe i misremembered all of it.
>>502837247massive nonsensical retconsalso you were supposed to read the books to be able to know what was going on
>>502837247Massive lore dumps and retcons.Forerunners and humans are different species.They went at war with each other.Humans were running away from the Flood.Humans were downgraded to savages.Humans have built-in code in their DNA that will eventually make them build an AI like Cortana and a person like Master Chief (lol).The Composer digitize living beings, making them immune to the Flood but they functionally die in the process, losing their sense of self.The Didact want to use the Composer against all of humanity.The Librarian somehow modify the Master Chief's biology to make him immune to the Composer.That's all.The Didact want to use the composer
>>502320337I still wonder who that Mexican guy was that would frantically scream "vetovetoveto" in everyone's lobby. Was he even a real person or was that a soundclip recorded by Bungie to mess with everyone?
>>502837247Frank really wanted everyone (not just book readers) to know that he retconned Forerunners into their own distinct race so he a;kndsgaowingiuaownr;aNwujgnasdfASwegahawuujjk and that's why we had to watch that cutscene.
>>502843523>a;kndsgaowingiuaownr;aNwujgnasdfASwegahawuujjkA what now?Are you okay, Anon?
>>502841068None of that is actually in the cutscene. What's in the scene is vague enough to be nonsensical and clearly a retcon of the original story, but what you wrote here is tangible fiction as opposed to LOST style vaguery
>>502845937You dumb nigger. Most of that shit was literally in the cutscene. It's not my fault if you're a too retarded to keep up with 343i fanfic slop.

>>502845937I literally just played it and that's basically that.
What's terrible about the 343i Forerunner retcon (besides all the ways it overtly conflicts with the story) is that the implication that humans are descendants of Forerunner/Forerunner are Ancient Humans was optimistic and good for public morale. It says "we could create like this one day, because the ones who came before us did" Which has a double meaning: not only suggesting that human beings might one day create an Awe Inspiring Intergalactic Civilization filled with Starkly Beautiful Architecture with incredible power and purpose (the child's interpretation of the message), but also suggesting that the player could learn to create art and games at Bungie's level (on the adult level, the games are inspiring for their real-world craftsmanship).Who knows how much of that message was consciously intended by Bungie people (although they did have something in Marathon about time-traveling architects) but it was very tone deaf or even possibly intentionally malicious of 343i to attempt to say "no no no that's not the story anymore!" to such an optimistic premise.

It's Tyr Tuesday, Part 2!Had a fun session this morning: Magnum-Only SWAT on Beaver Creek. I've decided to enable grenades, grenade regeneration, and bottomless clip to spice it up a bit.Find Tyr Tuseday, Halo 2, in the MCC custom games browser!

Hmm. Had to close the session b/c lost connection to Xbox Live. At any rate, I realized: dual wielding Magnum-Only SWAT with bottomless clip is the most 2004 thing I've played in years. Added grenades into the mix, but I think I'll update it with faster movement/lower gravity/jump height boost and add a close range weapon. Not sure which is more Awesome in this case: Shotgun or the Sword
Boy, I sure love Xbox Live!
>>502868856Down Detector says there have been outage reports for Xbox Live all day apparently, and just now there are a ton of reports for Steam too. Although isn't there some weekly maintanence thing Steam does?

>>502903641Eh?
The problem with CE is that it was never really meant for online play. See back in the day if you played 4 or more multiplayer it was probably quarter of a tube TV. Each weapon had purpose because the pistol was a lot harder to use. Now you have 4k screens that are on average much bigger than the TVs from back then. So now the pistol dominates everything because you don't have the handicap of small screens and lower quality.

>>502906234But it's still fun.
>>502906234I actually think that's a problem every OG Xbox and 360 Halo game suffers from. Going from shit FPS and resolution to modern standards completely busts various elements of the sandbox.
>>502907919Mostly yes but with Halo 1 it's much more noticeable. I remember a warthog or scorpion used to be something the room would be going shit over. The pistol was maybe 25% of the most used gun unlike now where it's 95%

I want to watch Late Night Gaming's Halo lore videos because his discussion topics are excellent, but I can't stand his voice or the way he pronounces words and emphasizes stuff. He talks the way some of those ASMR girls talk, like they're in bed with you, whispering into your ear to lull you to sleep. Why does he have to talk like that? This isn't a porno, nor am I trying to fall asleep. I'm trying to watch a documentary of The Complete Evolution of Halo's Grunts, but the narrator's voice is so off-putting and distracting that it's detracting from what would otherwise be an educational and informative video.

I was simply gonna reply with the image of that face (but hidden) to try and scare you again, but I'm deciding against it in case it's too mean, and since you aren't answering maybe you do have a heart condition, and I don't want to give you a heart attack. So I'll just link the video instead:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1Uh69aMNC0The face (and scream) shows up at 0:41. It's loud, so make sure to mute.

People who enjoy 343i games are ontologically evil and no harm to them is morally unjustified.
Was Half-Life 2 kinda boring for anyone else? The combat/gunplay was very unsatisfying and the guns have terrible accuracy. The facial animations, the way characters interact with you, and the fact that most objects had physics was neat, but you can't really do anything in the 'cutscenes' besides walk around. The levels are too linear, too many tedius puzzles, and I didn't like the long load times between areas. The physics are too light, yet too heavy at the same time. Stuff can fly everywhere but the gravity is too strong so stuff happens and then just ends too quick. Explosions are just like a flashbang with no cool lingering particle effects or smoke. The sound is very flat with no bass and nothing feels powerful, just annoyingly loud. Enemy AI is too simple and just drop dead into a heavy ragdoll when killed, no death animations or funny physics stuff. The one part with the smart zombies that can break into the house depending on where you're at was cool. The tone is very dark/solemn, like you shouldn't be having too much fun even when something funny does happen. It's a very lonely-feeling game. The girl was really hot, I had a magazine with her on the front cover. The open sections were really interesting but the vehicle controls/physics/handling are some of the worst I've ever experienced. I don't really like how gimmicky the gameplay is. There's pretty much only one way to do stuff and the game really drives home how linear the design is. Most of the game is a blur. I remember the city, then getting into the outside vehicle sections, the part with the zombies, and then another vehicle section with ant lions, then getting back to the city, and then getting into the tower and playing with a gravity gun right before the game ends. Not even sure what I was supposed to be doing, was just following where the game wanted me to go. But I didn't feel satisfied by the end of it. The graphics also look very flat, like everything is made of paper/cardboard.
>>502953305Sorry but you are wrong. Half Life 2 is one of the best fps ever made. I actually prefer the dark lonely atmosphere of the game. It’s like a horror game. Episode 1 & 2 ruined this by having your girlfriend Alyx with you the entire game. I do agree with you though that the “cutscenes” suck and ruin the flow of the game. Whenever I play Half Life 2 I usually skip Point Insertion and Red Letter Day since those are both boring cutscene chapters.
>>502953305Continued:If the whole game was like the beginning section with you walking through the train station, then through the city and through the buildings and stuff, I would have preferred that. The atmosphere was exceptional and I liked just walking around and messing with stuff. Even the breakins and chase was alright for a while. But once the combat starts and you get a gun, then it becomes kind of a slog. I didn't like the forced physics puzzles. The physics shouldn't have been a main gameplay element, they should have been optional and more for spectacle like with Halo, or reward you for being creative like opening a new route or softening enemies and not forcing you to do them. The outdoor secitons would have been great if we had some decent Halo vehicle physics. That buggy drives way too fast for how small the roads are, and it was too heavy. You get a ramp and then as soon as you jump you've already landed. There's no floaty hangtime to emphasize the jump like there is with Halo's vehicle physics. It feels slapped together and in the game for the sake of having a vehicle section.
>>502953642>Half Life 2 is one of the best fps ever made.I didn't like the fps part of it. The combat was too simple and you're not allowed to have too much fun, there's definitely a 'correct' way to progress in each encounter and the game definitely reminds you that the way you're playing is wrong until you play the right way. I actually preferred the walking simulator sections more where you could interact with random stuff at your leisure. The AI doesn't really do anything interesting either, particularly the combine soldiers. I heard they're actually supposed to be really intelligent with a lot different ways for them to interact/communicate with each other and engage you, but the way the levels are designed is too small, so there's no room for them to show off their behaviors, or sometimes they're nerfed or relegated to one spot so it makes it easier to blow up the barrel near them so that it triggers the debris falling on them which is the 'correct' way to kill them because that's how the level designer intended for you to kill them. But most of the game doesn't feel like you figured out a creative way to do stuff like in Halo. It just feels like you figured out how the level designer wanted you to beat that section.
>>502955272The combat is good actually.>weapons are very well designed and satisfying >pin enemies to wall with crossbow >shoot giant sawblades and cut zombies in half>explosions cause objects to fly everywhere >satisfying blood and gore/ rag doll physics>no ads, abilities or any bullshit, just guns

>>502956513Bleed it, and let it swim
>>502956586STILL NOT HALO
>>502956513It’s relevant because there was a debate about which game should be GOTY at the time. Halo 2 or Half Life 2.
>>502956118>pin enemies to wall with crossbow >shoot giant sawblades and cut zombies in half>no ads, abilities or any bullshit, just gunsI agree with these. The sawblades did overstay their welcome a bit though. The problem is that they felt like you were supposed to use them and the game made it very clear that you should do this instead of wasting ammo. But that doesn't feel natural. They should have been something laying around that you're interested in seeing if it works. Not pressured into doing whenever you see a sawblade because the game suddenly stopped giving you ammo for other weapons.>weapons are very well designed and satisfyingSome of them are hit or miss. The pistol and smg are some of the most terrible guns I've ever shot in a game. I don't like how most guns sound too, they're too loud but don't have any bass and don't sound strong. The gravity gun and the assault rifle with the alien grenade launcher are fun. The rocket launcher with its targeting system where you can watch the rocket follow where you aim was really cool. I don't remember much of the other guns. I don't remember the shotgun being particularly noteworthy or satisfying.>explosions cause objects to fly everywhereThis part is great, but the gravity is too strong so stuff blasts everywhere but then quickly drops to a standstill because everything is heavy with a lot of friction. Sometimes you might get a rolling barrel but for the most part stuff might just bounces once or twice and then stop moving. It's too realistic which makes it less fun/funny. Same with the explosion itself. It's just a loud bang but there's no lingering smoke or particle debris like with Halo. It's just like an explosion sprite that flashes and disappears. I think there's some smoke but nothing impressive. And every explosion acts like this whether it's a frag grenade or an explosive barrel. They're very unsatisfying.>satisfying blood and gore/ rag doll physicsTurok 2 (N64) did better gore.
>>502956836Why do we get the worst mods compared to both newer and older games?

>>502958849All the years I played custom edition I don't think I ever managed to play that map with another person. Shame
>>502958849Soul.>>502959846Same. But I think I remember seeing a Halo Infinite big team battle map in customs around the time the browser first dropped. I didn't play for very long but it was Hyrule Field and you could go into the different areas. It was huge. It's not the same as Hyrule custom edition but it was nice seeing a scorpion and warthog drive by while a wasp is flying overhead.
>>502958095Lol the smg in Half Life 2 is 10,000x better than the dogshit one in Halo 2. The sound effect is really good too. Don’t know why people complain about that. It sounds really chunky and powerful and the shell casing dropping on the ground sounds cool. It’s also based off the real life MP7 prototype which is a very sleek cool looking gun.
>>502958095The only part of the game that is stingy with ammo is Ravenholm which was deliberate since zombies are easy enemies. The rest of the game has plenty of ammo.

>>502961278But you could dual-wield the Halo 2 SMG. It didn't sound strong but it did sound comfy. The smg in Half Life 2 has a very grating sound when fired.
>>502962404Halo 2 smg sounded pathetic. Everyone was mad when they replaced the CE assault rifle with the smg.

>>502962223The Sabre and and alien version in Reach were such an epic fail. There’s no point in having them in a game because they are so overpowered that the only way they die is when the pilot accidentally crashes.
>>502962975That's why they weren't in Forge until 343 just started adding random objects to Forge World.Not that I don't appreciate them doing that for all of the games.
>>502962975If 343 gave us the anti air shade turrets it would be fine. I remember using them on jtag maps on xbox 360 and they are ridiculously OP because they fire in full auto when used by the player.
>>502963647Is that not just the Fuel Rod Shade?
>>502964190Not him, but I think it's the one you see a New Alexandria.
>>502965678Oh. I don't think I've ever taken the time to try and get into one of those.
New bread when?
>>502970681erm there is a new bread
>>502962975>The Sabre and and alien version in Reach were such an epic fail. There’s no point in having them in a game because they are so overpowered that the only way they die is when the pilot accidentally crashes.They were only intended for the campaign in that one space section, NOT for multiplayer. Though why they didn't rebalance them for multiplayer like they did with the Automag for Halo 3, I will never know.
>>502973061They still seemed like a fail in the campaign as well. It was like a attempt to add Star Wars Battlefront 2 style space battles to Halo.
