Halo Reach is definitely not fine.It was glassed, after all.
>>538205036>past tensethis happens in 500 years my niggaassuming they use the same calendar as we do
>>538204653Microsoft choosing to crunch out Halo 2 in 2004 was the first sign of disaster. Yes, the game was successful, but the vision was compromised, and the game wasn't as good as it could have been. The scraps of what could have went into it, the third act, the graphics, all went into Halo 3, a vastly inferior project that still ended up rushed out the door with missing features and levels.

>>538205874Reminder to thank Max Hoberman.Bungie was going to drop 4v4 and BTB multiplayer as it existed in CE and Max Hoberman stepped in to advocate for those and had to save them, and since the rest of Bungie was so focused on fixing the iffy development of the campaign, they just let Max and like one other guy handle the multiplayer entirely and then rest of the studio never got around to making Warfare lmaoJason wanted a big 32-player mode, but after a year it was still just an idea on paper, because he was distracted deving everything but H2, (the more things change)Max Hoberman begged for resources and built “the party game” we now know as H2/H3/Reach multiplayer.>deltatemple (Cut version of Regret they had to cut a lot of geometry for performance)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLWEynZX3q0>Halo 2 Cut Levelshttps://www.halopedia.org/Cut_Halo_2_levels

Halo is Christian.
>can't create custom game in mcc because profanity filter doesn't accept fucking ANYTHING, not a normal name, not the map/mode's previous name, not even a single letter or numberI swear this company is filled exclusively with microshit's window sitters, can they do anything right?
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=1137&v=4bOsJSRk0i8&feature=youtu.beKEK, that's actually pretty neat. I've always been impressed at how 'human' Halo Infinite's bots behaved, even when compared to other games like Quake that have their own matured bot AI. Sometimes Infinite's bots get stuck on certain maps, but most of the arena maps made by 343 (and even several of the community forge arena maps), it's still plenty of fun to play against the AI, especially in Fiesta Slayer, where it's easier to hide some of the AI's shortcomings (since they might spawn with power weapon and therefore don't need to crowd around a single weapon rack).I wish MCC had player-like AI bots you could play against. Some mods try to add Marines/Spartans to the maps on different teams to simulate a normal multiplayer match, but it's not the same and you can clearly tell they're using campaign AI.

The tone policing faggot has absolutely no wit to his responses, it's crazy to think someone can be that ineloquent.Funnily enough the mutants all suffer from this condition as well. You'd think they'd be better at words with how long they spend typing them out. Turns out human language skills require speaking, engaging all the parts of the brain evolution honed, to become adequate enough for people to enjoy your company.

h3 killing the gravemind off screen in a cutscene was a mistakeh2 boss fights suck sure, but I don't think most people even realize wtf happened to the coolest villain of the series it happens so suddenly with so little fanfare
>>538287087>h3 killing the gravemindlollmao
>>538287087Sadly a consequence of the actual Cortana mission being cut and Floodgate part 2 being hacked into it's place.
>>538289004again, i don't think most people happened including me but this is prob some hand wave bullshit for flood nostalgia, no idea didn't play wars 2.a trilogy primary goal should be to close all loose ends and look how badly h3 did that if bungie really wanted, they could have made a 4-part series there was so much shit to get though like an entire game could have been about the covenant breaking apart while the flood start to rampage more and more with a 4th game ending on all races of the covenant coming together with humanity to finally defeat the flood instead of relying on the rings to reset everything
>>538289715>i don't think most people happened including meYou're right. We're all just programs in a computer simulating real people posting on 4chan about a game we played 15 years ago.
>>538289715>if bungie really wantedI wouldn't really go down the rabbit hole of Bungie and wanting to do anything with Halo. A bunch of them didn't even want to do Halo 2, and by 3 they were acting as if it was a burden do have a killer IP, access to assloads of resources through MS and a Mario tier recognizable character.ODST and Reach were just contractual obligations.
>>538290250i mean the handwave bullshit excuse that he didn't actually die is proof enough most people have any idea what happened because killing a major antagonist off screen and then having a happy ending of a bright new future but actually the player knows he's still alive is stupid either 343 pulled it out of their ass and he really did just die like a stupid bitch off screen in 2 nano seconds or this was always the case, and humanity looks stupid as fuck for just shrugging their shoulders that the life ending entity is still alive and chilling
>>538289715you could greatly benefit from Grammarly

3 is a greater number than 2
Okay but Infinite is much greater. So is 5.
Infinite is NOT a number.
i want to replay the trilogy. do i grab my old 360 from my mom's or is mcc actually playable now like no fucked up cutscene timings and sound mixing?
>>538294782MCC is mostly fine.
>>538294782MCC works just fine now. The only bug is in CE when Chief punches Keyes face, the sound timing is still really bad.
finishing any halo game on legendary ruins you,you can never go back to heroic. the ai looks braindead retarded when you live long enough to see it in action
>>538294782MCC is fine but you should play it on original hardware for sovl reasons.
He's doing it again.
>>538301124They raped you, lil bro.
>>538301342I didn't play Helldivers 2 today doe.
>>538301090it would have to be on the 360 with backwards i stil have the discs i think. i wouldn't even know where to get an og xbox and controller my og xbox was destroyed when i accidently dumped a bunch of green paint on it when i was like 11 at my dads

>>538339286we've moved on to shade
No.I won't just sit by and let all the cancerous facets of this franchise be allowed to have an equal footing. I'm not breaking bread with 343fags and Lorecucks.The American iterations of Halo IN THE GAMES are the only ones worth discussing here. And I will continue to call out everything else.343's games are not canonSpartan 4's are not canonThe books are not canonNone of the shit in Halo Legends is canon and Halo is not animeHalo Online is not canonThe comics are not canonOsiris is not canonBlue Team is not canon. That egregious meme team doesn't exist and never did. The only true ship is Chieftana and canonically they do have some feelings for each other. Chief doesn't fuck around on his adventures. He just fights for the UNSC and gets the job done. He is a virgin.On that subject, none of the Spartans have had sex. They're all virgins like they should be. Stop projecting. Just because you went to a degenerate high school where sex outside of marriage was normal, doesn't mean these characters did.And for the 77777th time, Halo is a console shooter made to be played on controller.This is an American franchise. It always has been and always will be. It's western and everything else is fan fiction and belongs in /trash/. Period.It's high time we take a stand. We shouldn't allow "all things Halo" because it has become obvious that degenerates are abusing that privilege. Games only. Canon only. No shipping.End of discussion. Games only. Period.

>>538355132The stage for Halo 3 should be Halo Reach.
3 was the start of Halo's downfall though.>but muh nostalgia
It wasn't.
3 was the start of me moving on from Halo because I managed to get my hands on a copy of DOAXtreme and my childhood never recovered
I don't think my crazy pills are doing anything anymore.
H3 was a good game but yeah it was a stepdown from h2Is this controversial? It has less memorable cutscenes, levels, far to easy making it way less fun to coop/replay thanks to brutes being worthless, a story that that does have issuesThe only things you can argue it does better outright is have a more full sandbox, and social stuff like theater/forge/better custom game options Also a lot of things it added to the sandbox is whatever like only truly the grav hammer added more options to the game for silly custom games.Its also a really pretty game tho, ill give it that. Almost on par in h1 in art style Still a great game

Just finished a six hour goon streak. Kind of pissed, was just short of my personal record.Might play some Ultimate Firefight to clear my mind, any other suggestions?
Was he right?
>>538371874No because ODST and Reach exist.
>>538372276ODST is goodReach is fine
No, it's not.
I liked when Bungie tried to get back the audience that was moving over to Call of Duty.And all they did was manage to alienate more Halo fans while the CoD audience got Black Ops a month later.
How active/played is Halo Infinite? I never played Halo before but I'm thinking of trying it out.
>>538383501Play MCC.
>>538383501Going by steam numbers infinite is doing bad and the MCC is more played, but who knows about xbox numbers which is where most people probably play Halo.
the fifteen mexicans who own xbox one series x's use them for roblox, NBA, and call of dutyyou're delusional if you think halo means anything to xbox these days
>>538383742>>538383863If I play MCC, which game should I play? Which has the most active multiplayer?
>>538383501Are you NA? If you're a Euro or OCE it's going to be a bad time for any Halo MP.
>>5383846573
>>538384736I'm euro. And yeah I guess it won't be played as much since xbox exclusives were always unpopular here. Almost everyone my age had a playstation and nobody an xbox. But is it fully dead? Or still somewhat played?

>>538381565Reach is a really interesting slow paced arena shooter with tons of viable weapons from people using storm rifles firing across bridges while grenades hit ramps and fly up at them,grenade launcher trap around the corner waiting for the assault. When the dmr isn’t in the gameTo bad halo mp is shit and decided to ruin everything by making everything that isn’t plinking at each other across map worthless with precision weapon starts.This series mp was almost good, it died before reach. Halo died the second console players had another fps game that played well.I remember the mood shift in real time with mw2 releaseSave yourselves the headache and do what any reasonable person did. Ignore the mp, its a campaign shooter series with a custom silly side mode
>>538388051I wouldn't pick up a Plasma Repeater even if every headshot weapon was removed.
>>538389165In ar starts i pick up whatever, its pretty much fiesta with set spawns Reach is actually extremely balanced and well thought out with the magnum still giving you a strong mid range option for normal killing Dmr/br starts i just blow out my brains from how bored i am.I don't get the obsession with starting with the best gun in the game, it just ruins everything Always has
>>538388051I feel like Halo MP completely falls apart once it left the "20-30 fps, shit fov and shit resolution" era. Shit like the BR and DMR went from being strong as hell to being utterly oppressive. Any vehicle with an exposed occupant is BR'd out immediately, and in the case of Reach a DMR firing squad will just destroy your entire vehicle.
>>538389576Reach has a few outlying shitty guns, but you can get away with using a surprising amount of the sandbox even in DMR starts. The only truly useless guns are the two main automatics. Even the Spiker/PR have a purpose in TU settings and on maps with overshields. You just have to not play like a retard and run out into the middle of the map when you know everyone can damage you.
What really annoyed me in halo 3 and reach were power weapon.These games got so fucking stingy with them.No reserve ammo or only 1 extra clipOnly power weapon on the map3-5 min respawn timeCan be easily blown off the map with a grenadeWtf i played h3 games where you don’t even see the rocket launcher get fired once because some retard fell pff the map or it got blown off and was gone for half of the match
Speaking of Reach and balance.What the FUCK was Bungie's problem with vehicles. Why is the starting weapon now anti-vehicle capable, why is the Sniper Rifle now anti-vehicle too?
>>538390037Rockets suck in 3 anyway. They're so easy to avoid dying to.
>>538390265And it feels fucking awful to use. It's so unsatisfying. Like 99% of 3's weapons.
>>538390221The starting weapon wasn’t the dmr, go ahead and pull up people voting for dmr starts but that was just a variant and not the intended way to play or how it was designed to playedThey went though great lengths to finally make a balanced starting precision weapon with the magnum with its bloom smaller mag size and 5 shots to kill Just for players to go No bloomSpawn with a sniper rifle4 shots to kill 15 round mags The entire sandbox falls apart the second the br/dmr became standardThis has has happened 3 times now, their is suddenly no point to most funs when you spawn in with the best oneMain reason i stopped playing infinite, the issue isn’t the ar is bad, the problem is most guns are bad when your starting weapon is too good.
yep halo 5 clears...
The shit guns are shit regardless of what you spawn with.
There still needs to be blood paid for what happened to the Plasma Rifle after 1.
starting to sound like 5 was the best halo.....
>>538390814No everything is connected and things do become more shit if you spawn in with a better gun. You ever wondered why did they even bother putting all of these weapons everywhere? “Man theirs a lot of carbines, spikers, brute shots just laying around huh that's weird” They did because you weren’t supposed to always have a gun better than it off spawn and actually consider using them when you only had the ar lol. The game design only makes sense with ar starts. This is why halo mp has died, niggas talk about sandbox this sandbox that than pushed for the series to be boring fucking aim trainers br/dmr only.Mw2 had more interesting and varied weapons than any halo game
>>538391230>You ever wondered why did they even bother putting all of these weapons everywhere?Decoration, because most of them are dogshit even in AR starts. The rest are passable even in precision starts.The spiker has never had a purpose in Halo 3, and is absent in Reach as "intended"
they're actually discussing halo, we need to stop them
>spiker>looks fucking awesome and shoots basically railway spikes>feels utterly anemic and is smg 2.0It's also a victim of weapons scaling up or down depending on what is holding it.
>>538391363Im not arguing with you, bungee are world class designers but you think they just happen to miss the whole only 3 weapons are actually better than your starting br problem. Lol okay no.If br starts were intended the game mode would be called team slayer not team slayer br>but they are bad Okay and the ar is kind of bad so they are still valuable to try and use compared to ignoring when you just have a better gun outright This is why halo mp died, cry about jt but its boring as fuck when only 3-4 guns are remotely useable and everything else is decoration.Because you’re right they are pretty much decoration when i have the best gun in the game off spawn
They were on some shit for the HW2 concept art what the hell.
>>538391598That feels like the reason behind its mediocrity. They didn't want Brutes to have such a powerful weapon to use against the player, but it ends up doing practically nothing in pvp.Then they made it do extra shield damage in Reach, which I will never understand.>>538391672>bungee are world class designers but you think they just happen to miss the whole only 3 weapons are actually better than your starting br problemConsidering they continued to add precision starts to the game, and even replacing AR starts entirely in many cases, along with them doing absolutely nothing about the relative power of precision weapons compared to literally everything else, I think they're just retarded when it comes to weapon design. They had 3 opportunities to try and fix it and all they did was nerf every weapon the BR beat along with the BR equivalent.>Okay and the ar is kind of bad so they are still valuable to try and use compared to ignoring when you just have a better gun outright The AR is kind of bad, but the problem is that the other guns are worse. The spiker is an overused example, but it can't be stressed enough how it's just a worse AR/SMG.>its boring as fuck when only 3-4 guns are remotely useable and everything else is decoration.Maybe, but nobody is picking up the shit guns anyway if you take away the good one.Reach only needs a handful of tweaks before it could be a decent game, but we would have never seen those.
Wars 2 is cool but isn’t it dead, like i know wars1 have a couple dozen hardcore autists that still play it but wars2 never got that didn’t it?
>>538391986In br/dmr starts pretty much everything but sword sniper rocket launcher is dogshit or at best mediocre in its niche With ar starts that isn’t trueYou’re right there was still a few guns bad but far less which was healthier for a more interesting game.I don’t want to hear halo players talk about the epic sandbox when they push for modes that kill the sandboxAnd h2 br starts is called team slayer brIn h3 br starts is called team slayer brIn reach dmr starts is called team slayer dmrThe game was designed with regular team slayer, you are playing a variant.The variant was more popular but that doesn't change what the game was intended to be, and all thst really shows is arena shooters are unpopular which we all knewFinding and using weapons eh, using the single boring all purpose gun and quitting out of boredom BASED
Nobody asked, but I'm posting it anyway:>Let the AR kill a Spartan in 16 bullets like in Halo 3, keep the bloom mechanics as-is>Optionally, nerf its aim assist angle a little bit to compensate for the higher damage>Give the plasma repeater its beta damage back(18 shots for a Spartan), and maybe smooth out its fire rate curve a little bit so it can fire quickly for longer>Keep bleedthrough>Replace bloom on the magnum, needle rifle, and DMR with recoil as in the beta
>>538392548Also nerf the DMR's damage a little bit so it isn't a 4-shot if someone took the tiniest bit of damage. The last shot should bleed through.
>>538391986>I think they're just retarded when it comes to weapon design.They are. Remember they knew that the BR was oppressive and kind of OP in 2/3 so that's why they didn't add it to Reach. The DMR was their solution to that.Make of that what you will lmao.
>>538392815No the magnum was the replacement, the dmr was the powerweapok pickup minisniper with bloom to weaken it at spam firing it at closer ranges
>>538392815What I don't get is that the sandbox problems are usually so easily fixed. All they had to do was just not nerf the AR, but they felt it absolutely necessary to make a historically mediocre gun even worse.>>538392954Bloom becomes less of a factor the closer you get to someone, that experiment failed hard.
>>538393036My favourite "what the hell are you actual retards doing" nerf was what happened to the Plasma Launcher after beta.Power weapon being powerful? Nope can't do that nerf it so it can only kill the AFK.
>>538393036Infinite buffed the ar but it didn’t fix the issue of non power weapon standard pickups not being good compared to your starting I don’t care if the ar is good, i care about the overall weapon pool being thrown into the trash in favor of just using the weapon you spawn in with Its boringIts really fucking boringI played generic cod clones with more variety than halo despite you fags thinking you’re the only ones with a sandboz
>>538393183Not related but i remember i missread its name as the plasma caster for some reason during the beta and spent several years calling it that gas lighting my friends to thinking it was called that too until i replayed reach on pc and went “oh”To be frank tho my name was betterLoved that weapon during the beta on sword base
>>538393036>that experiment failed hard.I find that really funny honestly. The whole basis of Reach's gameplay is just an utter failure of design intention. The skill shooter pacing their shots? Nope you die doing that spam that shit at max RPM let jesus take the wheel.
>>538393036Bloom fucked you over hardest in mid range when automatics can hit you but bot close enough to spam shot Which was the whole point At long range you had plenty of time and safety being a minisniper to pace shots
>>538393183What's worse is they nerfed it, then removed it from all maps. Meanwhile, humans were allowed to keep the spartan laster that got a drastic nerf of being reduced from 5 shots to 4.>>538393226>Infinite buffed the ar but it didn’t fix the issue of non power weapon standard pickups not being good compared to your starting It kind of did. That gun was busted for a long time, and was the only thing you needed to use in AR starts. You just pulse the trigger and out-DPS everyone with a great deal of accuracy.You keep jerking off COD while every single gun functions identically.>>538393440Bloom was a good idea on automatic weapons. You trade your TTK for being able to more reliably ping people at range, being able to descope people. But then they also put it on a gun meant to be used at long range, and also gave it the least punishing spread in the game so it can completely ignore its intended fire rate and range.Reach is dumb.
>>538393565The problem with that is the automatics were already so weak, and burst firing/pacing made them even weaker. You'd still probably get an AR guy in 6-7 shots at full bloom before he can get a kill.
>>538393573Who cares if halo weapons function technically different if you only use the one you spawn in with.Bro idk what to tell you, this is why halo mp blows.Its an arena shooter that hurts you when play it like an arena shooter. Your starting weapon should suckMap spawns should spawn rapidly and you should be incentivize to pick them up
>>538393851>Who cares if halo weapons function technically different if you only use the one you spawn in with.The idea is to provide players with options that aren't just worse than the DMR.>Its an arena shooter that hurts you when play it like an arena shooter.>Your starting weapon should suckBut the starting gun in Quake actually serves a purpose. In Halo, you ditch the AR ASAP. Quake's health system actually allows the MG to be used for cleanup if you got someone low before dying.>Map spawns should spawn rapidly and you should be incentivize to pick them upI agree.
I like how the Reach AR is weaker than the H3 AR in terms of stats but a lot people think it's better than 3's solely because the visual and sound effects are vastly superior. Came up a bunch when I was talking about the Helldivers 2 Halo crossover weapons.
>>538393851Halo mp should be casual silly weapon pick up fests that is practically just fiesta in weapon quantity being used but instead of random on spawn its just from how the weapon balance is making people want to pick up whatever they can get their hands on while fighting for the central power weapons.Instead halo mp is niggas plinking at each other accross map, ignoring 90% of the options because theirs no fucking point when you spawn in with a better gun, and power weapons have ridiculously long spawn times so back to plinking. Halo is casual, it will always be casualNot balancing and pushing the mp down that road is what killed the series multiplayer.Its so funny people shit on mw2 but in mw2 people are running around doing knife only classes, or double shotguns, auto snipers and shotguns or explosive one man army or duel smgs, dozens of explosive map wide kill streaks.Now back to epic halo 3 and its crazy sandbox and its two faggots plinking at each other accross map with the same gun for 10 minutes straight lolCool Halo Mp deserved to die if this is all you can imagine it to be
>>538394215I still really like H4 gun sound effects. Wish they were in the earlier games.H3 ar isn’t even that bad, it is worse than the br but compared to the average halo gun its pretty alright
>>538393573My PC shooter background says something like "maybe recoil patterns could have worked" so someone that has the skill to keep it on target will outshoot someone that is just spraying wildly. But I don't know if that is something that would even be fun on a controller or work at all.
>>538394818343 tried to add spray patterns in Halo 5, and they weren't very fun to control. I think simple upward recoil would have worked fine. They already had it on some weapons in the past, and even had it in the Reach beta before removing it from the engine entirely.
>>538394759I fuck with the Scar-H sounding AR.The BR is a genuine ear rape though. H4 Legendary Slayer game modes give me a headache.
>>538394759Also what really surprised me i replayed ce the other day on legendary. The weapon balance is actually pretty decent in campaign. Almost everything but the needler is more than useable, ar tears though things if you just treat it like an smgPistol is good but not that useful that you always need one. I think the mp tainted my brain because i don’t remember everything being that good
Reach is fine btw
Nobody even played actual reach multiplayer.You would play the infected playlist and invite recent players from those lobbies to custom night
>>538395156The AR is fun to just mag dump into Elites in close quarters.Kind of like that one scene in Terminator 2 where the T-800 climbs across to the truck and mag dumps into the T-1000 at point blank.
>>538395156The needler is still decent on legendary. If you can catch an elite in an animation, he's dead.
>>538389774I can kill or assist with the ARBut I agree on the PR
>>538395448You can assist with any gun. I don't know why you wouldn't just hit Y off spawn.
I will never forgive Bungie (and I guess 343i?) for never doing the HK slap with the Assault Rifle again after 1.
>>538395584>You can assist with any gun.Technically sure. Still, the AR is much more useful to me than the PR.
>>538395674They truly butchered that gun after the beta, it's a shame. It was a shame when they nerfed the carbine in Halo 3, too.
>>538395375For me it was invasion and firefight (before I traded the game in a couple of months later). I hated Reach BTB so much that even 4's bullshit "lol I spawn with Plasma Grenade and Plasma Pistol fuck you" BTB was more enjoyable.
>>538395375Yeah Reach was the peak Halo Customs Ark for Halo.The combination of 3babs leaving for CoD and Forge World being in the game at launch as opposed to Sandbox (which was still paid DLC up until fucking 2017) gave the game a comfy atmosphere, but yeah it was almost entirely in the custom game scene. Reach Matchmaking could be fun but there was just so much bullshit.
>>538395801Invasion was cool when it still used the vanilla maps, they eventually replaced them all with forge world maps.I don’t like btb usually, idk why i am the weird guy that liked the team objectives playlist if i was actually going to play reach Halo 4 mp was pretty fun for a few months after launch, genuinely don’t get most of its hate. The retcons and campaign is shit but it was like a pretty fun mp game for a bit and than i moved on like most people
>>538396009most people moved on within a few days lol
>>538395983Reach was just Garry's mod for console I knew the game was done when the infected playlist was the most popular by far. It used to display players in each playlist and infected gad like 6 times more players than the next easily When the minigame playlist is the most popular theirs an issue somewhere. The standard game should be fun by itself
>>538396152It's funny looking back. We all made fun of Reach losing a lot of players to Black Ops after a month, but then 4 came out and said hold my beer. Absolutely depleted and so much faster.
>>538396009Yeah I never experienced forge invasion maps. Was just Boneyard and Spire all day. I was still around for the DLC invasion map but i never played on it until MCC.
>>538395983This.The heart of the game really was in the community. It was kind of the inverse of 2 where it was majority customs and minority matchmaking, where as 3 was more balanced.
>>538396387Halo was going against golden age cod cod4-bo2 a series everyone played during the era it was no longer nerdy to really like video games. First time i heard other kids talk about video games openly in school it was about bo1It was always going to lose, it just didn’t need to be that hard
>>538396387I'm not entirely sure the quality of the game meant anything at that point for Halo. 2012 was 3 years after Halo fell off to CoD which just pulled the MW2 - Black Ops - MW3 - Black Ops 2 combo.
>>538396579For me it's when Halo started being seen as a kiddy game with cartoon aliens vs the DUDE THIS GAME IS SO SICK AND REALISTIC BRO!!!! perception cod had with the guys I went to highschool with in 2010-ish that I knew it was kinda over.
>>538396261Infection's popularity was a symptom of the stupid progression system. Everyone wanted to unlock armor, and the fastest way to do it was getting loads of kills in multiplayer. Infection(and Grifball) were the easiest two modes to get a lot of kills in.
>>538397164So fucking true bro, it was seen as kiddy for no other reason than it wasn’t modern.The smartest thing microsoft could have done was put halo on the backburner until the cod/modern shooter phase went out of style. Like imagine if just now they attempted to being the series back, it would be so hyped.But nah they rushed out 4 and killed the series
Didn't help that Call of Duty had the "monkey brain likes when I unlock thing" down pat.>play bunch of matches in cod>work towards unlocking a new camo or gun or perks>play a bunch of matches in halo>the jpeg next to your name changes or you can get something you can't really see outside of the menusMy ass went wild for getting the gold camos for all the guns in CoD4.
If mw2 original on pc wouldn’t give my pc aids i would still play it bi monthly off and on. Just resetting my rank and going through the ranks again. I did for a while about a decade ago. Mw2 is a brainless casual shooter, sure.But also its a brainless fun casual shooter with a lot of styleBo1 was a disappointment desu, kind of got off the cod train right then Reach still lost
I blame CoD for getting me into firearms. If I just played Halo as God intended I wouldn't have thousands and thousands of dollars worth of guns in my house now.
>pov: someone just hit you with “gaylo” for the first time and you have no recovery
>>538396821>I'm not entirely sure the quality of the game meant anything at that point for Halo4 being shit absolutely played a factor
>>538402690Nta and of course but also i don't think there was a reality any halo game was going to put up the same numbers as cod at its most relevance. Everyone played cod, and i do genuinely everyone even my mom at one point shower interest randomly one day saying she was going to give it a try when i was at school She didn’t of course but halo was never going to get that far
Doubt the theoretical 10/10 Halo 4 would look much different to this. The numbers might have been slightly higher but the graph shape would be the same.I know people don't like to admit it (it's actually somewhat surprising to see a reasonable discussion about it here) but Reach did so much damage to the core playerbase of Halo, plus the aforementioned dominance of Call of Duty for years at that point. Halo was just old news, but not old enough for people to look back on like "man remember Halo? that was good." like what was going on with pre-Infinite.
>>538405624It should have stayed a trilogy at least for a while.Instead we got short movies, a bad game, multiple mobile spinoffs, a shitty ce remake, a buggy rerelease collection for years If microsoft held out and just let cod dominance ride and brought the series back proper a decade later, halo would be in a way better state right now.It never had the ability to be a yearly franchise, it was one story that wrapped up with 3 spinoffs. That doesn’t mean it can’t have more stories but you can’t just make more a year later
Halo should have died with the blades dashboard. Did anyone ever give a fuck about knock off mii avatar things with the nxe dashboard?
>>538403095>also i don't think there was a reality any halo game was going to put up the same numbers as cod That much is obvious, but the game wouldn't have catered to irrelevance the same way.
>>538409314NXE was better. Blades are messy nostalgia.Tiles are the worst though.
>>538412227Tiles was peak "everything must be flat rectangles, we don't do style here" 2010's.
The Halo 3 guns felt good to use.You're all lying.The Spiker still is dogshit.
>>538391974>there are human concept artists who are objectively worse than AIIncredible.
>>538414685>The Halo 3 guns felt good to use.The AR feels like a weak flacid dick
>>538417330It's fine.
>>538417330it kills only a 10th of a second slower than the br
>>538414256I like tiles, but they need to all be the same size. I hate the 'big tile here, small tiles here' meme, it's so disgusting and tacky. I also like Windows 10's Live Tiles since you can resize them and turn off animations.
>>538416545My favorite are the ones that completely block off the magazine.
>>538417690also doesn't work with a controllergoing from a big one to a row of little ones only works on touch screen or mouse cursor
>>538417660Stats don't mean much in terms of how it feels. Like the post above mentioned before, the Reach AR is worse statistically but it feels better than the H3 AR.Weapon "feel" is funny like that.
>>538414685Dual-wielding Spikers is iconic and kino. So good, even if it's not the most efficient form of combat.
>>538418815You're talking about something purely subjective as if it's a universal truth. Main character much?
>>538418815The Reach AR feels better up until you actually try to kill an other player.Feels great to be outgunned by a DMR at close range even if you get the first shot.

>>538417690different sized tiles worked really well on Windows Phone.Still to date my favorite phone AI.
>>538419809What's the point of saying any of that? How can you prove to anyone that you actually feel that way? Worthless post.
The Plasma Rifle feels good to use.It's a fact.
>>538405624Being real...this wasn't CoD. It wasn't Reach either, nor really Halo 4 itself.What allowed Halo 3 to dominate the player count leaderboard was because it was one of THE social games that people played to make and catch up with friends, as well as the most prominent one used for machinima and the like.And then Minecraft came out and utterly consumed the Social Game space in its entirety, as well as devouring most of the machinima space into its let's plays and other stuff.CoD managed to survive as while people would go into it on the side, it's really more invested in the competitive side and they just keep up a breakneck pace so the curve doesn't have too much time to flatten before there's a major new injection from a new game.
Is this the halo thread?

Half of the banished stuff in infinite look like toys. The phantom is the most glaring example. I don't understand how simple things get fucked up so bad.
>>538460210It feels like 343i's art style is designed around merchandising. They should have committed to the edgy spiky aesthetic instead of turning everything into Mega® Blocks.

I find it really funny that people are managing to completely successfully backport Halo Infinite assets into Halo 4 because Halo 4 just randomly has a fuckload of futureproofing that was just never used because they launched on the 360 rather than being a Xbox One title.There's some stuff missing that they have to do workarounds, but goddamn. I wonder how much doublework and lost capabilities there are in the Slipspace engine that no one knows about because of the stupid contractor process.
>>538475548Modders probably know more about the Slipspace engine more than anyone currently working at Halo Studios, formerly known as 343 Industries.
>>538475548Makes it even easier with how 343i assets all use the same rigs. I actually looked into recreating Infinite's procgen materials in H4 because I can write HLSL but the sampler count limit is too low.
Is it possible to port Halo Infinite to Halo 4? Maybe not the entire open world, but sections of it and all the equipment like the grappleshot? Maybe even backport Halo 5 to Halo 4, or at least the weapons/abilities. God, why does Halo 4's campaign have to be so shit. Why couldn't they just build off of Halo 3
>>538476560Not really. Engine just flat out doesn't support a lot of the equipment/ability stuff without making janky workarounds.Can't grab animations from Infinite or 5 so you'd have to remake a bunch of stuff from scratch, and fire modes isn't possible in 4 (so no heatwave firemodes). Level geo from Infinite is a pain in the ass. No one has made an environment shader for Infinite in Blender, materials aren't kept on geometry export, ect so you would have to spend hundreds of hours setting it all up manually.
>>538477752>fire modes isn't possible in 4 (so no heatwave firemodes)Not even how the light rifle does it? Or is it an issue of the viewmodel being hidden while zoomed?
>>538476560I seem to recall that there was a gigamod project that was attempting to create their own custom open world campaign. I think it was originally based in Halo 3, but they found that they could push the limits better in Halo 4 because the engine limits were looser.In order to fill out all the geometry they need, they're taking in every single Halo Custom Edition map that they could get permission for and connecting them all together - doing some spruce up of the materials and the like.I wish I could remember the name of what it was, because the tour I saw was like 2 years back. I think the SPV3 people had something to do with it?
>>538478579Stillborn?
>>538474792yeah i’ll see if I play it sometimeI played the first one but I dont remember anything lol (i did finish it)
Was she right?
>>538478631I don't know. Having trouble finding any information on it, so I can't really compare that to what I recall.
>>538478005Latch-zoom behaviour (it's what the light rifle switching to another projectile when zoomed in is called) can do it in a janky sort of way. I prototyped a select fire AR One of the main benefits of H4's engine is how it has so many flags you can tick for a bunch of shit. It's all exposed unlike with the Bungie era stuff where a lot of it is hard coded (why the fuck is the Arbiter cloak in H2 hard coded Bungie).>>538480019Sounds like "Legacies" Masterz tried to recruit me for it lmao.
>>538480402>Sounds like "Legacies">Masterz tried to recruit me for it lmao.That *might* be it. Trying to find any information on it's a bitch, probably because they are on discord announcements only. Wish I could remember what channel I watched the preview on, but I at least found something from the guy on the SPV3 reddit from way back in January about how they'll probably be releasing info on Legacies late in the year because it would be in a somewhat presentable state and they would have some idea of how far off the release would be.So unless something's gone wrong in the mean time, guess some information will come out soon.
night everyone

>>538491673It's kinda amusing how braindead Halo Wars AI can be, and how much they have to rely on having a resource and build speed multiplier.I guess that goes for most strategy games, but they can't even react to the most basic cheese strats like moving units behind their main base.
automatic [120] is the hardest halo difficulty
halo knight doesnt have difficulty settings however
OUR GAME LOOKS LIKE RETARDED SHIT WHAT DO YOU MEAN NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY IT????
You are banished from death
why does 343 just love killing all potential in every game they release? why didnt they wait until forge and the custom game browser was ready before releasing the game. we could have had such a massive community making game modes and maps. fucking retards. i hope bonnie, frank, and kiki have been demoted to toilet plungers.
>>538480402>It's all exposed unlike with the Bungie era stuff where a lot of it is hard codedThe most annoying thing is how the swap speed is hard-coded to melee weapons in 2-Reach.
>>538505631they all got huge promotions actuallymanagement jobs in microsoft are safer than government jobs
Splitgate is Halo
Splitgate is the enemy
>>538506491i thought they shut down the servers
>>538507106Splitgate 2 is still up
>>538507106Just like halo 3 and reach lmao

I still can’t solo the Halo Reach campaign on Legendary, but I managed Heroic on Solo

>>538510938what's your playstyle?
halo 3 would be 100x harder if brutes threw plasma grenades instead of spike grenades
>>538511619I like to stick to cover, not too aggressive
>>538512465This is Halo, not Gears of War
>>538512465you're giving me nothing man
>>538508773Yes, words are a social construct.
yeeze <3
What happened to the Gigiposters?
>>538527053They got bored and left to another general
>>538511086The most amusing thing about 343 lore is Forerunners actually, unironically being called Forerunners rather than that just being what people ended up referring to them as.
>>538529810But I need my gigi fix...
>>538532218343i did that with a bunch of what used to be fucked up Covenant interpretations and names. Halo is another one.

>>538539010Scanner actually looks okay without the floppy drive hanging off of its face, but I doubt 343 will be generous enough to keep that in the exchange long enough for me to afford it.
Kind of surprised that crossbow shockwave skin isn't in the store. Thought it would be for this operation.
Infinite next Saturday then?
