R8 it
>>5034502908/10Comfy. Next time don't use gamebar.I get >discord has drawbacks but just use the halofest chat
>>503450290Surprisingly enjoyableIt was nice to play with the guysI liked the maps
>>503450290It's a somber note for me.Seeing a decade of MCC now in the mirror is just hard to process still. I don't know if other people here feel the same way.I appreciate that we had an event to recognize it.
>>503450290IV > I > III > Anniversary > V > IIIll always love the original Halo and Halo 2 the most but Infinite is just better for this kind of thing. It's a good thing if the next fests embrace it again.
>>503450612this except swap 4 and 6 (anniversary)
>>503450659sorry not 4, I meant 3I agree Infinite was the best
>>503450934*Indiana Jones theme starts playing*
>>503450659What do you mean by 4 and 6? Since I'm pretty sure /hg/ wouldn't play Halo 4 unless it was a joke. Just curious is all
>>5034515644 ur mom so I can have 6 with her
As punishment for his poor basketball performance, Pacha will perform naked dogeza for all of Blue Team.
>fake fansVile, disloyal beasts.
Sorry not sorry but Halo 5 is objectively better than Infinite in terms of basic Multiplayer and customs. It's only disliked and shunned because it's horrible trash campaign. Halo Infinite has not created any actually unique or fun forge custom worth a damn. It's only real advantage is having NPCs in forge Halo 5 had night of the mantis, survive the Underground, jenga city. Super fiesta. Vehicle fiesta and more.
>>503458439>ackshully halo 5 mp was good Yeah okay Nighterlev go away now. I too always wanted to play one of the "Halo killers" from the 2000's disguised under the Halo name.
Halo 1 > ALL
All Halo 1 needs is a usable Sentinel Beam and it would be perfect.

Someone should make a mod that adds Cortana Cheerleaders to the multiplayer maps, Red (Or maybe Purple) Cortanas for Red Team and Blue Cortanas for Blue Team. You can put them just outside the boundaries of certain maps near the team bases and have them do cute animations like jumping and waving their cheerleader pom poms, doing fist pumps at the air, shouting in support, and clapping. They're holograms so they wouldn't be affected by getting shot at or the player trying to reach them. It would help boost morale both for the winning and losing team to see someone supporting them. Just a thought.
>>503477449coatings for old chest pieces fucking never
>>503472748I recorded eveything except for the game chat audio.I'll need to get verified on Youtube to post the whole thing.
>>503478920I instinctively hide coomer posts, but I read the first sentence and it was so cute I decide to read the whole paragraph. This is actually a good idea.
I miss yeeze
it's uphttps://youtu.be/m-Ls9j73428shadowplay loves skipping frames due to performance so it looks more 30fps than it does 60. will do better next time
Hey, that's me!
What Halo 4 map doesn't get enough love? CTF on Daybreak is always fun.
>>503486067Because CTF in Halo 4 is atrocious. Not enough people talk about how retarded the flagnum was.
>>503484482Nice, will check it out later
I hate how salvageable Halo still is, but there's just no chance of it ever happening.
>>503488470Maybe it can be saved it gets some Sonic the Hedgehog-tier fan games/mods. Sega lets them live but they also view some of those as healthy competition, maybe the same can happen if Halo Studios allows the same thing. I'd say that but I also remember that they shut down ElDewito.
>>503490223The fact they reformed 343 into something new with largely the same mission statement and people really gives no confidence that they just won't shut down HS in 5 years and fold them all in MS proper. If they don't understand by now what their issues are, they never will and MS is a terrible IP holder.
>>503490781>first thing that happened under the halo studios name is a $25 mark vi skin in shitfinite Was amusing watching that knock people out of their honeymoon period for the studio rebrand.
>>503490223>ElDewitoWasn't ElDewRito pretty much 'stolen'? I think if a dev team created its own assets from scratch it would probably be fine. they haven't cease and desisted that ODST Flood fangame despite it being announced and shown off. They support the modding community on MCC so I don't think fangames would be an issue. There might have been legal issues and stuff with ElDewRito since it wasn't approved by MS.
>>503491438It's weird, 343/HS was pretty damn honest and transparent that literally nothing is changing with the name change.
>>503488470arena games in general are just dead/unpopular right now though, you'd have to convince a whole generation raised on battle royale to switch to it somehow
Today, I will remind red team...https://files.catbox.moe/yxgucs.mp4
>>503498970Or, and hear me out here, just keep pandering to the audience you cultivated in the past that'll still show up if you put out a competent Halo game. It's been really proven that old Halo heads don't want it to become a shittier CoD or whatever other FPS is managing to stay alive at the moment. They're not going to make money hand over fist like they did back then, but it's sure as shit better than spending a better part of a billion dollars on some flaccid dick release like Infinite.
>>503449286How would you go about saving Halo? If you were to implement playable elites how would you do it?
>>503501387Retcon everything after Reach and poach some of the good guns and vehicles.>playable eliteI wouldn't.
>>503501387>How would you go about saving Halo?Just give people more of the same shit from Halo 1-ODST, better god damn UI, and just keeping it Halo.>playable elitesNah
>>503501387>If you were to implement playable elites how would you do it?I have a lot of gripes with Reach but I liked how that did them. Spartan v Spartan in regular matches but custom games can play whatever, as well as doing Spartan v Elite game modes.
>>503498970younger gamers still play non BR multiplayer games tho. The popularity of the souls games, Hold-fast, CS, and BF series is testament to this.
>>503450934putting game-play gripes aside, infinite is fucking ugly and boring to look at from a visual design perspective. Everything looks like rubber and appears so soulless and unappealing. CE, 2, 3, and Reach all had their own special charm and all had varying degrees of sovl but infinite just looks like the flattest bullshit ever. Granted I do have beef with reach for having a "gritty and 'mature' " brown n' bloom visual look, but at least reach had some texture and detail to it. >inb4 its just the halo 3 map remakesnah whole game looks shit.
>>503450934Man, this game is ugly as fuck.
Are there any games that capture the same vibe as halo?The only one that game close was metroid primeIt's music and atmosphere and exploring an alien planet mainly
>That structure appears to be some sort of temple or shrine, if I've interpreted this correctly. Interesting. A shrine is an unlikely place to put such a significant installation.
>>503506192>Everything looks like rubber and appears so soulless and unappealing. CE, 2, 3, and Reach all had their own special charm and all had varying degrees of sovlopen world nonsense probably had something to do with it instead of having good art direction and good lighting for halo 3found this on reddithttps://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/566f/c019459435ac3ad25d9a4941d5da02d7ba59.pdf
>>503458439>it's horrible trash campaignreal shit: I stopped giving a fuck about halo's story after the retardation of 5's campaign. 4's campaign was goofy, but at least 343 had the excuse of "we're trying something new and this is our first game". 5's campaign was inexcusable.
>>503501387>How would you go about saving Halo?I would do some focus groups to see what kind of FPS games people want these daysI think Halo should adopt new features so it can be one of the most popular games again
>>503506192Infinite has a ton of TAA layered over it. This makes it look like a compressed video stream. UE5 Halo is going to look even worse.
>>503511728>popularEnd your own life already.
>>503511728>I think Halo should adopt new featuresGod you're fucking stupid.
>>503501387>How would you go about saving Halo?>Single playerScale back production Scale back the scope of the gameNo open world slop and just back to a linear campaign with a few open sectionsHave more variety in locations than some shitty woods and red towers everywhere>Multiplayer Remove sprint and all the retarded 343 additions Only thing i'll probably keep is the grapple hook, but revamp it into a weapon like a forerunner gun grapple beam like the monitors use
>>503510659Multiplayer?Red Faction Guerrilla, kinda. But that's dead as fuck.Slow paced Quake with vehicles and physics shenanigans is pretty rare in this industry.
>>503512737>>503512776Cope and seethe since you're both fucking morons
>>503514306How well did those new features they tried to adapt go over with Halo in the 343 era again?
>>503511728That's exactly what 343i has been doing for over a decade.
>I think Halo should adopt new features so it can be one of the most popular games again
>>503514434How well did the new features in Halo 2 and Halo 3 go? Pretty well actually
>>503515009Oh, what were those anon?
>>503514440>>503514892Stop pointing that out!
>>503511353looks like someone's university presentation. I hope they got an A+
guys, in order to be successful halo NEEDS to copy call of duty. it just NEEDS to. ignore the fact that halo preceded call of duty's success that doesn't matter it just NEEDS to be call of duty now.
Vehicles? Sheesh, make them vulnerable to the basic assault rifleDual wielding? Who cares? It's not the 90s anymore.Equipment? Armor abilities are clearly better! Infinite use Jetpacks? Infinite use wall hacks? The kids love it!Heavy weapons like the missile pod? The animation budget doesn't support it, and people don't like to move slow.Weapon balance? Who cares? The kids spawn with the best gun anyway.
>>503511353This was updated for the prestigioso event.
>>503511353>>503520696BUT IT'S NOT REALISTIC! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH I'M LOSING MY MIND SAVE ME EPIC GAMES!
>>503450934Infinite looks fun
Thanks for the cheevos, red team.

It's Sol Sunday!Halo 3, Power fantasy gametype on IsolationLook for Sol Sunday in teh custom games browser!Power fantasy is probably my 2nd favorite gametype I've created after Bangheilios: I encourage you to come check it outI'd like to think I really zero'd in on some of the best of the Halo fantasy!
HaloFest Anniversary Blue Team stream is up!Youtube link:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71f4y9Pv3eoDirect link:File is 5.7GB thats way too big for catbox lmao
>>503514440Okay. Just because they didn't find the right formula to make Halo big again, doesn't mean all attempts to make Halo big again should end.>>503515371The changes that they made in Halo 2 and 3. I'm glad they didn't just release the same game over and over. I liked a lot of the new things they added over the years.
>>503539576Have they tried making Halo again?
>>503539576>The changes that they made in Halo 2 and 3And those were?
>>503540089Yeah.>>503541308If you've played them then you won't need me to tell you
Hmmm wonder why anon won't answer a simple question..
i wish halo 2 ended up with stencil even if it was 5 fps on xbox
>>503542093>those bullet impactsare you using sikkmod by any chance? if so you've got lacking tastebut yeah H2 with stencils would've been pure sex
>>503542560the e3 mombasa city looked so jrpg, its kino
>>503541380>focus groups to see what kind of FPS games people want these days>I think Halo should adopt new features so it can be one of the most popular games again>new featuresWhat were they, little billy?
>>503543158If you haven't played them that's your problem, little faggot
>>503543583You can't even think of anything, specifically from 2->3, can you?
>>503535631that basketball comeback tho
>Master Chief Saga playlist is on normal difficulty.How fucking boring
Went from playing MCC on Xbox to now on PC. What should I know about the game on PC besides getting a controller for it.
>>503551737Mods. That's it honestly.
halo coop with yeezeid
>>503553901If only.
tackel kiss
>>503552047Higher framerates too.
>>503551737Reach's mission Night of Solace is much, much more difficult on PC.You'll see when you try out the mission on Legendary.
Alpha Moon was not very fun.
>>503551737Wait I'm barely getting into pc too. Is controller on computer a highly suggested thing to do or is it simply preference? I'm getting controller since it feels the most natural with it but I assumed mouse and keyboard is better on the long run.
>>503556826Halo games basically play themselves with the amount of autoaim they have, and mouse players get none of that assistance. There's basically no reason not to use a controller. Otherwise you need to land the equivalent of 4-5 sniper shots on every single player while they're allowed to be lazy.
>>503557183Ah okay got it. On one hand that seems kinda fucked but on the other hand, it sorta makes sense since it's originally a console game so they have to take priority with controller players.
>>503555603Definitely not as tight as the E3 demo mission but that was pretty busted too
Anyone play Firefight still these days?
Halo spiritual successor fucking when? The closest we've had are games inspired by Halo like Splitgate but that's about it.
>>503558678I do.Mostly ODST because Reach's Firefight is boring.
>>503558324It's the price you pay for trying to keep the game somewhat 1:1 to the original.But I prefer doing campaign and firefight on a mouse.
>>503558852Yeah that makes sense. If the game is new and is on both consoles and PC, then that'd be a different story but I understand why the controller takes priority. Having said that, I've used mouse and keyboard when doing parkour maps because holy shit those maps are impossible with controller inputs.
>>503558512I had no expectations for the E3 mission because we've already seen it and how heavily scripted it is. Alpha Moon is just really boring because Heretics aren't very interesting to fight. It's only a single rank of Elites and Grunts, and there's only 4 weapons in the entire level. They didn't even have the decency of using some Needler enemies.
Someone is drinking water while browsing /hg/

Hello. I am the new an- I mean. I am the original anon :)
the next halo fest should be in roblox halo (delta ring)
Watchdogs 1 deserved better
It was shit.
Opinion invalid. Try again.
It was bad, but not as bad as Halo CE.
*grabs your pussy*I said. Try. Again.
but i have a girl cock
>implying a futa wouldn't have both things>trannies need not apply
H-Halo?
it's finished.
As long as the Spartan Code holds, Halo will persist.
>>503558796I wish I could like horde modes. I've tried them in so many games and just don't have fun.
>>503566521>7 rulesSickens me
how would a /dg/ meetup look like? should we throw a pizza party?
>>503567008it would smell bad

Is this the halo thread?
>>503567237>>503567248>wrong tabAIIIIEEEEEEEEEE
Are the swat playlists completely dead? It seems like every game is the same mix of 12 players.
>>503567347I'm not sure
>>503567430SWAT playlist wasn't particularly healthy back in the day either.It's just worse now.
>>503567008Maybe /hg/ and /dg/ should meet up. All of us could shake hands and be civil and think back to our respective good ol' days when Bungie used to make good games.
>>503568184>Match with a blatant hacker twice in a rowI think it's time to take a break from the game.
>>503568276Ummm based>Remember their version of pong? Good times!
I wish Halo knockoffs existed.
I wish GOOD Halo knockoffs existed.
erm what da frickin HECK
elaborate on that
Reminding everyone that this was the best designed utility precision weapon of the entire series.
>>503569676I like it but I still like the DMR the most. The new rifle in Halo Infinite also isn't bad but it's basically just the DMR without a scope and much lower range.
I hate how pro fags have basically taken out any possible elements of randomness in several weapons. Every weapon in Halo Infinite is a laser, which means bullets and projectiles basically always land in a small circle. Even automatic weapons and the "shotgun" do this. Fuck off the warthog MG should have some bullet spread. The shotgun shouldn't have a spread tighter than a rifle. Also yes the BR spread should be a little more random. Why have a burst fire rifle if it's just going to act like a single shot.
>>503570508That's the issue with most games focusing on the pro scene and streamers. They remove all of the fun/interesting aspects of any game until they're just bland and boring.I think the most egregious game is Super Smash where they remove literally the entire point of the game.
>>503570508Something something short-sighted devs, appeasing players something.
>>503570668I still believe most pro players aren't actually that good. They need to remove nearly all weapons and vehicles and any feature that may make them have to think. Are you really a pro player if you force everyone to use 10% of the weapons and you remove every feature or element that would make you have to think on your feet?
>>503570881I feel that a lot of the game is also adapting to changing scenerios. The rocket spawns in a different spot this time? Guess we have to change tactics!Now they would throw a fit that it makes the game imbalanced.
>>503571036Most Pro scenes are just autistic fags limiting a game to the 10% that they can over practice. Anything that they can't practice for hours is something foreign to them
>>503571529For sure! I used to help out with a CS team and the players are SO insufferable. One player literally threw a fit and started calling me every insult they knew because I filled in their spot for them when they refused to show up for a practice session.
>>503535631Is Red's up yet?
>>503573849Yeah >>503484482
On a scale of 1-10 how gay would it be if I bought some Halo Mega blocks?
red bros... why can't we win....
>>5035753354Only because you are asking. Mega Blocks are lame, not homosexual.>>503575450Break up the static teams and then maybe Red might win one day.
You can't refute this
>>503581181Why would I refute the truth?
>>503581181Reachtards were all the 9 year old Hayabusa kids on Halo 3. All they care about is cosmetics
Why was it never ported?
