It's important to have the correct mindset about campaign v multiplayer. That being that a true Halo game is a campaign experience first and foremost.
I'd be perfectly fine with the CE remake having firefight or some other PvE mode as its "multiplayer" offering for this reason.
Halo CE/1 had multiplayer thrown in the game in the last few months of development for the same reason any multiplayer was in a console game at the time, it was just expected to be there. The campaign WAS the game, and the multiplayer was extra. Now, it did turn out to be really good and pretty addicting, but it's important to understand that this existed in mostly a party game atmosphere. Yes, there were comp tournaments, but they are not representative of the average Halo CE multiplayer session.
Halo 2, or really rather Xbox Live, changed this, and set this unrealistic standard of Halo multiplayer being the face of the series. It was never meant to last, but it stuck, even as CoD 4 and onwards drained the popularity 3 years later.

tl;dr
A PVE-only game is sorely needed at this point to correct this wrongdoing and artificial ballooning of Halo's multiplayer to be its core identity.

I always found it weird how popular Master Chief's armor in 4 was, despite the negative response from fans online . You'd see it a lot in conventions and animations, way more than anything that came before it. Even today you still see it plenty.

it's about who's of a certain age when these things happen

if you don't have the bungie art style burned into your brain because you didn't play that often, or you see it as the noob armor because you only play multiplayer, your perspective may not be so harsh on the new design

343 ruined halo during reach, idc what you niggers say title update killed reach.
The game wasn’t balanced or made without bloom in mind, or dmr spawns and all tu did was kill 80% of the weapons off instantly.
You already spawned with a decent mid range all purpose precision weapon with the magnum.
Fags call halo an arena shooter then get mad when the game is designed around going around the arena for weapons.
Also tu was when every map started to get replaced by ugly all gray forge world ((( competitive )))) maps
>>
>>537890371
>b-b-b-but not having br/dmr spawns mean the enemy team will lock down the map and spawn kill you
When
When has that ever happened. I saw rhis argument dozens of times over the years When have you ever played a single halo game where the 4 randos all worked together to stay at a distance camping br spawns to keep you locked in spawn only backing up to get more br ammo
Never.
The average halo retard doesn’t even know where the power weapons spawn let alone normal spawns

I'd say you dont deserve all the raiding and ad spam but after a decade of hazing by halo playing dudebro grifters I cant muster a single fuck for halofags
>>
Halo 1 original starting weapon is the plasma pistol but the magnum a pickup is op killing in 3 headshots
Halo2 changes it out with a new nerfed version the br and makes it take an extra headshot to kill. Still not the starting weapon, thats the smg
Halo 3 nerfs the br and by slowing its bullets and buffing other options in the sandbox to compete. Still not the starting weapon
Halo reach removes the strong all purpose precision weapon br as it still hurt the overall sandbox, replaced it with a specialized high bloom plenty of downsides long range focus mini sniper rifle dmr, and instead rebuffs the magnum a bit to fill the void but raises the amount of headshots again to 5 finally balancing the overall sandbox in my opinion. I remember early reach slayer actually having a pretty good flow of spawning picking up a half decent weapon that flowed into a power weapon and in real time seeing the game get turned into plonking at each other with overpowered dmrs accross map and ignoring everything else
Halo fags somehow still gaslit themselves into thinking bungie wanted the precision weapon to be the viable only weapon in the game
>>
>>537892464
Reach was the worst Halo from Bungie but it was still very good. Very fun game. That’s much more than I can say from 343. The best thing produced under their watch just a collection of Bungie games and the only thing their employees actually did for that was server side stuff which coincidentally was the worst part about MCC for its first several years

That's true if we're talking about most "fans" because most really started with Halo 3. Most people that did play CE's campaign back in the day did at least dabble in mp though.
>It was like only a college guys and bungie themselves that experienced it

The word "God" is almost always capitalized in English to refer to the supreme being of a monotheistic religion, because it functions as a proper noun, a specific name.The word "god" is used in the lowercase when referring to a god or goddess in a polytheistic religion or in a generic, non-specific sense, such as "many religions have a god".

There has always been more to Halo than pure aiming. What Reach added to that equation was not fun.

>>537908782
I know the point im making is that reach tu update took away everything else but shooting st each with dmr
Removing bloom and changing every playlist besides ffa to have dmr starts removed 90% of the weapons in viabilty
The dmr was balanced with bloom and the game designed with ar and pistol as starts

>reach tu update took away everything else but shooting st each with dmr
You were still doing that in vanilla, don't kid yourself. The DMR was always the best gun to use in that game, and the bloom was never punishing enough to respect. Shitters gaslit themselves into believing that anyone who disliked bloom simply didn't know how to control it. That was never further from the truth. Bloom isn't hard, just waiting a second is not any sort of display of skill. The problem with bloom has always been that some faggot could luck himself into a 5 or 6-shot way faster than anyone playing the game as intended. It was dumb.
The DMR was never balanced, and the bloom reduction(along with bleedthrough) allowed other weapons to do things the DMR couldn't. The pistol was more reliable, and the needle rifle was a straight upgrade in every way but damaging vehicles. You're a liar if you believe that any weapon was made less viable in TU settings.
Returning bleedthrough even gave the AR its niche back that it had in Halo 3, where it could do a melee combo faster than the DMR could.
>>
I like the needler rifle better desu senpai

Same.

>>537910242
The dmr wasn’t the standard weapon and nope. I very much remember the dmr not being so dominant back then. You could easily win gun fights against the dmr which again only a few on the map in places nobody bothered to remember with any weapon in close-mid range

It was always a choice when voting, even way back in the beta.
>I very much remember the dmr not being so dominant back then.
Then your memory is bad. Just think about how the weapon performs relative to everything else, and consider what bloom does as a mechanic.
>You could easily win gun fights against the dmr
Now you're just lying, because the DMR never got a damage buff. Its TTK was always the same. Bloom reduction helped its consistency and performance at long range, but 90% of Reach's arsenal is meant to be used up close, where bloom barely matters and the DMR had more DPS anyway.
>>537911692
Then you suck at the game because rockets and snipe are still going to win matches even with an accurate DMR.
>>
>>537911917
No your memory is wrong and of course it’s a choice. Multiple variants has always existed but a massive difference between a variant and the only way to play
And yes dumbass it being easier to land hits increases your average dps, wtf is even the point of stating its dps is the same.
I don’t mean an actual bullet damage increase and you know that
>>
>>537912207
Up close, bloom literally does not matter because your reticle will be covering up more of the enemy and allow for a much higher chance to hit. If the DMR already has more DPS than something like the AR, you're winning against the AR every time.
Literally no weapon was made worse, because anything bad in TU already sucked pre-patch.
Vehicles didn't even get worse. They were big enough that you could ping them at max bloom at any range.
>>
The DMR was a mistake.
>>
I blame the shitty nerfed AR more. If it had Halo 3's stats, it would have actually been pretty decent and added some variety to the game. But Bungie loved making it the shittiest gun for whatever reason.
>>
>>537911917
Obviously if I could spawn with a sniper I'd use it, but it wasn't worth spending time traveling around the map just to hope I'd be the one to get sniper spawn. Instead, the better way to play with the tu was to move around the map to where I could better spawn camp enemies, or even people trying to get said power weapons. The tu really just broke the flow of what a halo game should be. I'm glad the community revolted and 343 was forced to bring back vanilla Team Slayer.

I don't think there should be a middleground between a br and a sniper rifle in multiplayer. Halo 5 proved it was a bad idea. But in campaign it's cool. Just don't spawn it on multiplayer maps. Like the fuel rod cannon in halo 2 or the scorpion tank in 3. You can have whacky gamemodes where these things exist and everybody accepts being potentially steamrolled.
>>
>>537911598
DMR starts were always the default in Reach BTB.
https://youtu.be/0nLg2wK8At0?t=216
Here's a video from a couple weeks after launch.
>>537912904
If you're in a lobbies where you can reliably win matches while completely ignoring weapon spawns, you're not playing anyone good.
>>
Tu changed the standard slayer gamemode to dmr starts
Increased movement speed by like 5%
Nerfed armor lock
Massively changed the map rotation removing the pretty base game maps for comp gray block forge shit
And removed bloom which yes obviously made the dmr better, why are you even trying to argue otherwise. Bloom was aggressive even at mid range and people bitched about the dmr not being as good as the br when the game released, and some went as far on bungie.net to call it fucking worthless because god forbid you have to be semi creative with the sandbox instead of playing the worlds gayest comp aim trainer fag shit.
I remember when tu launched.
i remember being excited about the move speed increase in particular before dropping reach a week after it came out.
I even remember the little splash screen on reach that announced it, i can even almost picture the image they used which was someone shooting someone in armor lock on countdown im pretty sure.
Fuck you, you smug ass prick acting like i just forgot or wasn’t there because i can almost guarantee you didn’t even know what half of tu did.
Reach was always a weaker multiplayer experience than 3 but tu literally raped it into the grave
>>
>>537913067
they then made a game where rng determines what guns and armor you get as well as the special perks those guns get. nubungie loves rng.
>>
>>537913168
You're confusing Reach's patch with 4's. You can't even change movement in 5% increments in Reach.
DMR starts were always a thing, and TU still had AR starts.
You may have been alive back then, but you certainly weren't old enough to have memories.
>>
>>537913067
If DMR bloom was more like the magnum's, people might have actually bothered pacing.

>>537913168
DMR starts was always voted for so fuck off out of here with "b-b-but it wasn't always DMR starts the 343i boogeyman did that!".

They even put it in the second slot so that ARfags would get the win in a tied vote.

If your current age doesn't start with 3 any opinions on any Halo game before 4 are invalid.
Ain't listening to anyone that was a fucking kid when Reach was released.
>>
I remember having more fun in Reach's multiplayer beta than on release. Firefight was cool though, it was so neat to see Brutes and Elites on the same team fighting Spartans. And seeing Spartans sprint was also neat.
>>
what if the ar could headshot? is there a campaign mod that does that?
>>
Reach is unsalvageable.
Talking about its sandbox is a fool's errand.
>>
Why did they ever even bother adding sprint anyways.
Counter strike, and overwatch doesn’t have it. Far more popular games and nobody cares.
Why do people only get weird when you say halo shouldn’t have it?
Even infinite nerfed it to barely matter but it still does so like get to pressing lol.

The night time halo 3 campaign mod has instant headshots for the ar. Halo 3's brutes do not have enough shielding for it not to be BUSTED even on legendary. Maybe with ODST's shields they wouldn't be such pushovers. But that issue exists with the battle rifle as well. Aside from that, the mod is unbelievably kino. The ar gets a shadow casting light that adds so much atmosphere. Shadows are missing from the og bungie games and it takes a lot away from the game's visuals.
>>537915793
I'm Baza, this thing is right. CE multiplayer is a disaster of epic proportions. Jason Jones was a buffoon for buffing the pistol. A lovable buffoon, but a buffoon nonetheless.

Battle rifle in halo 3 famously has a faster melee than the ar.
And everyone knows the sword beats the gravity hammer.

Probably. Do you have any examples of how big the difference is?
Everything post-CE feels so homogeneous due to lunge. Everything feels equally good to punch with.

That's just how games were. Melee wasn't a main method of attack, so it didn't have a bunch of assist options to make it better.

Why are people confused by franks retcon of the human forerunner thing.
It wasn’t because of a conspiracy or because frank didn’t understand. I mean the trilogy literally stops caring about being subtle in h3 with guilty sparks just out right saying you are forerunner.
this headache was to justify the shitty new 3rd enemy faction in h4 because if humans and them were related wouldn’t they be friends instead
Thats it.
Thats the whole reason.
So we had new niggas to fight that nobody even likes, and those made the most sense for retards to onions at finally seeing them
>>
>>538010038
Bro I'm so done with thw forerunner/human talk. It has been done endlessly to death and back and is so far removed from what matters to the state of the franchise now.
Not trying to be disrespectful.
>>
>>538010230
I get that, but I'm just saying why it happened which is never discussed. People instead like to pretend 343 was to stupid to understand a shooter plot line for 11 year olds.
It was all done for the faggy teleporting niggas in the h4 campaign nobody even likes .
That was it
>>
>>538010038
In 3 forerunner is seen as more of a rank or position by a lot of people specifically because the game is less clear about it. Guilty Spark saying that could just mean that for all intents and purposes you are the new forerunner. Blame Bungie for greenlighting the terminals and allowing the vagueness to begin existing.
And if we're being honest, the idea that "forerunner" was their actual species name is dumb. Halo 4 dives really hard into that and it's dumb. But if bungie purists, which I guess I mostly am, insist that that's also their name, then that's dumb too.

Halo 3 is poorly written.

>>538010836
I know casuals who don't even understand the whole plot of Bungie Halo that still complain about Arbiter going from the main character of H2 to "player 2" in H3.
Even non-fans see how gimped the writing got.
>>
>>538010717
Bungie stopped giving a fuck about the halo ip when Microsoft let another studio without their permission make a spin off that being halo wars and wanted out to do another universe they had full control in.
I love halo wars, fun campaign, decent rts, great ost by all accounts it could have been far worse but that game was the first crack in everything.
The trilogy only makes sense if humans are fore runners.
And yeah it might be dumb but counterpoint being halo is kind of dumb and the story was mostly only a vehicle for action one liners
I mean the flood?
The arc?
Come the fuck on lol
>>
>>538010836
I still feel like an alien in the Halo community after 18 years because I think 3 is mid as fuck in all aspects.
If the Ark wasn't the damn near peak level of the entire franchise (it massively overshadows how the rest of the missions are meh to bad) the campaign would be looked at very differently I reckon.
>>
>>538010962
I agree arbiter should have been off doing his own thing like h2 with a protag swap maybe only meeting up to kill the prophet.
Halo had so much more potential as a universe but weirdly its like star wars.
You have this big galaxy with tons of potential stories and protagonists but the people in charge need to make everything luke/palpatine/master chief
Its not like putting arbiter or chief together added a dynamic, they spoke more to each other in the single h2 cutscene than all of h3
343 halo stumbled right off the start continuing master chiefs story when the trilogy was about as full of an arc as you can get

Nah, they stopped caring after Halo 2's development.
Everything done afterwards was just to get independence and then later to fulfill contracts.
>>
>>538012065
the whole "Bungie Hates Halo Wars" meme was debunked a while ago. That's not to say there were not some schizos that complained, but the idea that the studio as a whole was up in arms about another game in the series that they themselves were checked out of before it even launched, all the while giving Nylund a greenligjt to do whatever he wanted with the lore in officially canon novels is laughable.
Bungie is overrated and Halo was lightning in a bottle.

This is actually where you're more in the minority. Most people feel that way more about the Covenant than the Ark.

Halo’s entire story is about humanity being genocided because an alien species read the description for a super weapon wrong
Its not high art
But also humans are forerunners. The story just doesn’t make sense otherwise and you have to dive through 17 hoops to justify it otherwise.
I mean its literally as simple as only humans can activate it and ai that should know keep referring to them as forerunners lol
Even the title reclaimer just means reclaiming the shit you made

We reached the point in /hg/ a while ago where H=F posting started to become a bit of an obsessed schizo thing. Nobody here really has a problem with that take so it sounds more unhinged at this point to just keep stating it over and over again, decades removed from when it was a relevant topic of discussion. Halo's lore is several magnitudes of being more fucked up than that now. It's like the retards who get mad that their coming of age Halo game isn't everyone's favorite so they keep posting CE/2/3 > All as if that will actually do anything.

Well halo is still a stupid game series, and having a 3 minute build up of slowmo to get this reveal would have been really boring compared to another jhonson one liner or explosion for the 11 year olds playing
But to think bungie decided to have guilty spark straight up tell you, have the rings only get activated by humans, pretty much the main reason the covenant is even an enemy otherwise theirs literally no reason humans wouldn’t have just been invited to join them pre h4 if they didn’t think the humans left behind were unworthy, drew story boards of a bigger reveal, have pretty much everyone involved back than say “oh yeah duh”, wrote books with ai’s that also say yeah of course humans are forerunners?
For a laugh?
I mean you sure got us i guess
If you believe 343 you have to go just make 50000 things up that never existed in the original trilogy to get around all this

Halo 3 is poorly written

Halo 2 was the best one, and arbiter should have been pushed to main protagonist with h3 being the reverse and chief being swapped to for a few missions to finish up his loose ends while arbiter takes on the prophet and stops the great journey
Master chief is not that important
>>
>>538015508
>Well halo is still a stupid game series
Just stop there then. Stop worrying about contradicting plot threads. Bungie straight up admitted they dumbed down Halo 3's story so PS2babs could understand it more.
If CEmake comes out and Halo Studios shoves in the ancient humanity vs Forerunner war into it like they did with CEA then I'll understand people complaining about it again, but Halo 3 is almost 20 years old now and the subject has been beaten to death.

That basically is the setup for Halo 3 if Halo 2 got the Earthark mission(s). Master Chief would have been going after Cortana/closing off the Flood plot thread and the Arbiter would have been dealing with the still raging Covenant civil war.

>>538015992

>>
>>538016369
I mean what does chief even do post halo 2?
Worry about his robot girlfriend every game?
The story changes from we need to stop the super weapon in halo 1 to we need to expose the truth of what halo is, and stop the covenant from halo 2 onwards which fits arbitar far more.
It just makes sense for him to take over the later half getting more allies as the covenant break into two kn his revenge quest with the prophets.
He still gets the most important moment of h3 killing the prophet but as player 2 he doesn’t really get to shine beforehand while they worry about chiefs fucking robot girlfriend
Still swap to chief to finish loose ends with guilty spark of course but their was far better ways to handle h3 and pretending master chief is the inly important element of halo kneecapped the series 343 onwards to now.
He has way less milage than i think most people realize, his most important moments are pretty much all from h1 lol.
He wasn’t even in half of the bungie era games wars odst and reach outside of the extremely small easteregg and that was fine

You were always stuck to playing a single (dead) playlist with map packs because nobody else bought them. You'd never even see them outside of their designated list because of the earlier point.

The other weapons in CE have their use, but they are way too situational compared to how reliable the Pistol is in most situation.
Sure, the AR can reliably melee a Pistol user to death. Sure, the Shotgun can outgun a Pistol at point blank. Sure, the Plasma Rifle can completely overwhelm a Pistol user if targeted form the back or the sides. But none of these 3 guns can do anything outside of these very specific scenarios.

>>
>>538026439
They're situational weapons, they're meant to be used for specific purposes. Maybe they are a little too specific, but to pretend they're useless just shows ignorance.
Halo is always going to be centralized around a single all-purpose weapon just by nature of the weapon limit. You want to have a gun out that can be used in the highest number of encounters, no matter what it is. If the pistol didn't exist, the plasma pistol would have taken that role.
>>
>>538026439
All of these niches are at extremely close ranges.
Its ce your grenades are nukes with mo falloff, and your pistol kills everyone across map.

You also have to be literally touching, and moving fast enough for the melee to deal its maximum amount of damage. It's easier to just shoot the shotgun. Even if you miss the instakill, you're more than likely going to kill with the second shot provided you can strafe halfway decently.

It's actually worse in those games, because everything is weak as shit. Even the lower tier CE guns would wreck house if placed in a different Halo game. See: Halo 5's SMG.

Like people can cope but the mood changed with mw2 releasing.
Suddenly nobody wanted to play h3 outside of goofy ass custom games like its a poor mans garrys mod.

>>538029524
I'm not trying to be rude, but I have over 400 hours in MCC and I genuinely can't remember the last time I 1v1'd someone in CE. I just hope into 4v4 or 8v8 and play. Obviously the Pistol is the most multi-purpose weapon, but I regularly get kills and win with the AR, Shotty, Grenades, snipes, rocket, fuel rod, flamethrower, even plasmas which are especially helpful for stunlocking. I'm sorry if I'm not playing it the "right way"? idk, I'm playing it my way, and I'm winning.
But you do you my man.

I don't think anyone is arguing that the AR, PR, shotgun, etc. are better than the pistol, just that you're silly for pretending they're useless.

if 1 is a barren wasteland and 10 is GTA 6 on release, it's about a 3. Maybe a 3.5-4 when it's most active.
The problem with MCC is that it's really 6 different games and then from there a multitude of modes you can select to search for. So depending on what you want to play, you may be waiting for several minutes, or maybe less than 30 seconds. You can also check out the server browser but a lot of the servers host trash modes that are only alright if you're high or something. Competitive playlists are all almost completely dead. I don't reccomend even trying with them.
Stick to peak hours and party up with friends to increase your odds.
>>
>>538036053
Pretty active during American prime time hours and the week-end, but only for Reach and Halo 3. Halo 2 and 4 see a lot less activity, but you can still get games on a regular basis, if you play at the right time slots.
CE is sketchy and H2A is even worse.

Don't bother with the "ranked" playlists.

Halo couldn’t continue after the trilogy
It’s honestly Ludacris they tried. Halo was about stopping a universe threat. Stopping the genocide of all humans and the breaking of the biggest galactic alliance of aliens

>>538045802
Why not? You think every covenant planet and fleet out there is going to accept humans? The elites who love war and look down on every other race except hunters are totally going to be fine with humans governing themselves? When they have the innate power to wipe out all life in the galaxy? They should be looking for the halo rings and destroying them. There should be fanatics who want to preserve them. And the brutes are out there too. They have no ethical integrity from what we saw in 2 and 3. They'd be a menace. The ludicrous idea is that after all that death and mayhem, everyone just goes home and forgets about the whole thing. There's a galaxy wide civil war going on and much of the people living under the covenant probably have no idea anything happened to high charity.

Halo is about a slowed-down controller-based Arena FPS with an identifiable aesthetic and addicting gameplay loop. It can absolutely continue.

It will always make the story seem like its less important than before. Even now when we discuss halo story, notice we never talk about actual events from 343.
Because what even happened, cortana was a big dumb dumb and thought the diadect prison was a cellphone?
Its okay for stories to run its own course. If they absolutely had to make halo because of money. They should have done spinoffs or a side trilogy with new characters and issues
Or just like spartan ops mission packs with a live service only multiplayer

It's the Halo CE remake and Halo 7, the major update for next year is that Halo is becoming a singleplayer-only series now with only Master Chief as a playable character, no one else. Microsoft sees Call of Duty as their top MP franchise now and feel that Halo's universe can be expanded through novels, other characters will just get merchandise and crossovers. Halo is no longer a major priority for Microsoft anymore, it'll be developed by third parties with Halo Studios just leading development, and the budget for Halo is getting drastically reduced. Halo is also coming to the PS5/PS6 and possibly Switch 2. Basically, it's over

I would have enjoyed Infinite's campaign much more if there was simply more variety to the levels. There's only 3 or 4 themes stretched out over a long campaign.
I never felt that OP in Infinite when ignoring all of the upgraded weapons, it just felt like a lot of the bullshit was cut down so you can play on legendary and leave cover sometimes.
>>
>>538140303
the thing that makes chief feel a little bit OP isn't so much the comically overpowered weapon upgrades as it is the armor abilities, grapple and drop wall used together give you total control over fights that didn't really exist in the same way in earlier Halos

it gave you a lot more of the power fantasy but there's almost no such thing as being out of position in infinite, none of the banished can keep up with chief and he can be tankier than ever
>>
>>538130453
shouldn't you be playing Arc System Works hit new game, Marvel TOKON: Fighting Souls™, may?
>>
>>538140874
I like the grapple specifically for the alternate paths it opens up. While I dislike the open world as a whole, I really liked the individual missions where you are given many different options to take on any encounter.
This comes from years of playing older FPS games and the new Dooms. Infinite was heading in that direction more than the more strictly linear Halo campaigns.
>>
>>538141230
Infinite does remind me of nudoom in ways. I don't think Open World is an inherently terrible idea for Halo (I think a Halo Metroidvania is actually a winning idea) but I think they didn't have great execution. I liked climbing some of the mountains with my trusty hook at least.

have a nice day silly halobros

No.

It's worse than that.
>>
>>538141996
doesn't it imply that infinite's power boost takes away some of the depth that halo had through level/encounter design though

there are some infantry encounters (halo vehicle levels SUCK i'm sorry) that aren't shieldslop but most of the genuinely dangerous ones are- and people even hate some of the ones that aren't, like cortana is a good example a level that doesn't push you to noob combo and most people can't seem to figure out that you just pick up a needler instead
>>
>>538143356
sounds like you just don't understand halo very much
and you're pretending your own opinions are anything but the minority
i'm not here to do your thinking for you
>>
>>538144031
you could explain your opinion and engage with me on the level instead of baiting
>>
>>538144102
it's not bait
you just don't like being told no it turns out
you need to learn to steel man both sides of the argument rather than just taking turns casting spells back and forth
99% of internet drama would vanish if people didn't outsource their thinking to the other side

You mean should

You're such a manipulative worm. Tell me this isn't how you resolve conflicts in the workplace. For your own sake it better not be.

i was explaining that you're not putting enough thought into it
sorry that you're so buried in your own narratives that you can't conceive of a positive motive
it must be rough to go through life suspicious of everyone like that
funny thing is you're not putting enough thought into your suspicions either

less trying to goad people into becoming schizophrenic and more talking about halo please

Wait, what? I thought Microsoft was trending towards Xbox being a PC Gaming sub brand, how did they cock that up?

>>538143186
Is there any hope? 343 obviously can't handle AAA releases, but maybe a game with A-tier budget/scope and a shitload of polish could be manageable for them.

Oh, who am I kidding. Apart from graphics they couldn't even have good polish with 4, and that was when their team was at its functional peak.
>>
>>538145472
>more talking about halo please
That's exactly what >>538145205 is trying to accomplish. The other guy is being bad faith and refusing to 'steel man'. Effectively pretending to be ignorant of basic elements of Halo's gameplay and the people who enjoy them. And even going as far as pushing those people aside. It's solipsism. Just fucking play the game at that point because you clearly don't know enough about it to offer any meaningful or honest conviction.

Any known workarounds to save and forge on copy protected maps in shitfinite?

I main legendary in CE and 3 and rarely rely on the noob combo at all.
Same for Halo 2 though I admittedly main it on Heroic.

This is quite literally what I consider to be the absolute gayest thing 343i has ever done.
I'm actually genuinely mad at you right now for reminding me that that's a thing.

>bungie halo campaigns had the recurring problem of most guns paling before the noob combo
In infinite you just dong everyone with BR + plasma carbine, nothing has changed

What. I'm having flashbacks to the Custom Edition days with map protection because "reeee I don't want anyone touching what I did"

you don't absolutely have to at gunpoint but it's absurdly fast and efficient in comparison to tapfiring with the ma5c or whatever. I typically like using the UNSC weapons until they run dry just for variety's sake
infinite brought every non-precision weapon closer to the precisions' level one way or another even if the BR is still brainlessly efficient

Microsoft should have let Halo 2 launch on the 360 with the original graphics engine and the third act of the campaign.

Arby and The Chief season 8 is horrible and only gets good at the end of episode 7. What a waste of fucking time. Did Jon really had to do a shittier version of 2001?
