Halo Studios lost this war months ago. Your people are broken, scattered, hunted, defeated... by me. I wish I could tell you it was difficult, but it wasn't. We are one step ahead, always. The general is already under our control. Soon, the game as well. The Battlefield and the COD fanbase share the same goal. We fight together to honor the will of Marty. But... without challenge I grow weary, lost, alone. But, here you now stand. This is my last fight. A true test of legend. Our story will outlive us both. SET A FIRE IN YOUR HEART SPARTAN. BAAAAARE YOUR FANGS. FIGHT HARD. Die well.
Sprint = Not Halo
Halo... it's finished
I shan't buy Halo: Campaign Evolved.
Death to Microdick and Gaylo Studios
>We cut out half the game and then added in Call of Duty gameplay>That’ll be 80 dollars plus tip
>Halo Studios, you mind telling me what you're doing releasing another remake of Combat Evolved?>Sir, burying this series.
SAAAR DO THE NEEDFUL AND BUY GAMEPASS SO YOU CAN PLAY EPIC HALO REMAKE SAAR
You trusted 343 with Halo 4. It was completely fucked on release.>Campaign was short and mostly linear CoD-style corridors>Sandbox was barely used>Multiplayer was completely broken>Infinity Slayer was catering to the CoD crowd>Spartan Ops was some of the worst free DLC conceived>File Share was brokenYou trusted 343 with MCC. It was completely fucked on release.>Halo CE ported from Gearbox code>Halo 2 ported from Vista code>Online is completely broken>60fps broke many thingsYou trusted 343 with Halo 5. It was completely fucked on release.>Spartan Locke>No content on release>Tom French had to salvage it years laterYou trusted 343 with Infinite. 10 year plan. Completely fucked and abandoned.
>>543952623I mean it looks fine but thats just because its the same game just with blurry UE graphics. If you want to play CE then play CE. If you want to play a remixed CE then play SPV3 or some other mod. I don't know who is basedjaking right now over being able to drive wraiths in CE
>>543952998>CE remake>no Brutes>no funny monkey man cameoMissed opportunities.
This is service announcement to all Playstation newfriends.The elusive "lol the no" is the top dog of this general. We all bow down to him and worship his above average cock. Anyone insulting "lol the no" will be reported and have their posts deleted.
>>543953297oh, you guys have a piss meme too huh?
>everything blurry as fuck and has this weird dithering effect on everything >the ethereal skyboxes and environments are practically non-existent>incredibly shoddy amateur foliage and greenery despite having UNREAL ENGINE ASSETS>sprint is in ruining the flow of combat and on top of that the animation is copy and pasted from Halo 5>Elite enrage animation copy and pasted from Reach>lots of copy and pasted assets from Infinite>putting the radar on the top right for some fucking reason?!?!??>sprint is in completely ruining the flow and tension of levels and combat encounters>removed the health packs and replaced it with recharging shields>weird facial animations so far>texturing is awful and done with god damn AIAnd holy shit I cannot stress enough the weird dithering effect making everything blurry as fuck. I hate this shit, it's not the youtube compression. This is literally how lumen/UE5 looks, it's so god damn distracting and makes shit harder to follow to your eyes. Fucking insane that a game two decades ago looks better
>>543953498Alternatively, you can also play campaign evolved.>NOOOOO YOU CAN'Tyou are not in charge of what other people do, nor are you in charge of Halo.Deal with it chud.
You guys think they will add dlc for what you do after leaving the ring?
The Endless has arrived
>>543953787outdatednew memes are required
>>543953576kys kek the drek
>>543952623Sorry to inform the doomposters, but yes, the Halo General will be playing the new Halo game
>>543953787oh god oh fuck...
>>543953953AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
microshart truly destroys everything they touch
>>543953861The meme is endless, can't be outdated.
>>543953576he is literally simping for CEA nowHe will never be in charge
>>543953770>You guys think they will add dlc for what you do after leaving the ring?They could easily make a Fall of Reach (book) game and First Strike game if this is a reboot with a new canon
>>543954034nah, but hey thanks for bumping
I want to play as Arbiter :3
pozole
just release mcc on ps5/switch and disband the studio already
>>543954170>>543954181
>>543953770>>543954026>>543954073Why don't they port the Halo CE Xbox source code, exactly as it shipped in 2001, to PS5 and Windows 11 DX12
I can't believe Halo is now officially dead.
>>543954247Xbox game integration into windows is coming in 2026
>>543954194>(((consoles)))lol just get a pc already
>>543953953Unfortunately this is true
>>543954181That line is no longer in the game.
>>543954170Arbiter prequel mission could be kino
>>543954282>a quarter century game is getting a remake>this means it's deadnah>>543953953I can't refute thisI just have to decide if pirating is worth it or not
>>543954420>That line is no longer in the game.Huh? You're telling me they removed pozole from MCC? From my old CE copy for Xboz or PC?No?Good.
>>543953725https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1Y_d_Lhp60
>>543954170They are just gonna show what the arbiter was doing on halo for his side on the new terminals cutscenes.
>>543954516The version you're playing is no longer canon.
>>543954181>pozole
Halo sisters… the flood look terrifying.
>>543954541https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnSCkV6PkWM
>>543954584like I give a fuck about "canon"It's a video gameStorytards are autists
>>543952623Can someone tell me if its a remake or a remaster yet?
>>543953953i'm literally going to buy the steelbook
>>543954725it's a jeetmake
>>543954541Kek literally
>>543954725>Can someone tell me if its a remake or a remaster yet?it's unironically bothIt's technically a remake from two ground up, but like, the level design is almost exactly the same. The big difference is the gameplay and inclusion of new enemies/guns
>$70+tax for a campaign we got 20 years ago>at most there’s three missions of completely new content >said missions will 1000% retcon Contact Harvest and Fall of Reach (AGAIN)I can’t believe this is real. $70 for three missions and no multiplayer running on fucking Unreal. And people are excited for this shit?
>>543954541
>>543955105my favorite game is getting a remake i'm excited
>>543955105It could have been a lot worse, keep in mind it's still a WIP.
>>543954847>>543955132What engine is Campaign Evolved using? Redpill me
>>543955105>lore autistI don't care about gay booksI'm just excited to play CE levels with new enemies, the energy sword, and 3 friends
>>543955282Unreal Engine 5There are "rumors" about it being modified Halo Reach (same thing 4 and 5 used) combined with UE5 but that has not been confirmed anywhere
>>543955189If CE was your favorite game you wouldn't be excited. I think you are just a brown person trying to be contrarian for (you)s
>tourists leave>thread slows back down>significantly higher ratio of positive opinions and cautious optimism nowKek, every time.
>>543955284I want you to know that you are the reason why 343i keeps getting away with their stupid bullshit.
>>543955502Because /v/tards are dumb, I do see potential with this. Only thing I have against it is how unfinished it looks due to the WIP. Overall they are cooking "something" but not a full "meal" in a way.
>>543955502I'm still here, queer.Campaign Evolved is shit and you're a lesser person for thinking it's not shit.
>>543955502Isnt that more old halo fans have gotten bored with shitposting and left again whilst slop enjoyers or people still wanting to shitpost are still around?
>>543955492>If CE was your favorite game you wouldn't be excited.It's not like i'm going to stop playing CE.When they remade Papillon I was excited because I love that movie. Doesn't mean I stop watching the original.>I think you are just a brown personwhatever helps you sleep at night budI'm not tho, I'm a ginger so I'm probably whiter than (YOU)
>>543955189Your favorite game is getting a remake by the same retards who fucked up the remaster and haven’t produced a single good game in their entire time owning the franchise your “favorite game” is part of.
4 player splitscreen is kind of cool but if you want me to pay for halo visa evolved then there better be serious sam ass co-op with an XL mode that lets you fight hordes of covenant. Good luck getting that shit working on UE5 though
>>543955502i'm going to get itBut yeah if it's shit i'll say it's shit
How pissed would Marty and Joe be?
Pre-Release Build>b-but muh nostalgi-Pre-Release Build.
Halo: CDCampaign Devolved
>>543955761>Your favorite game is getting a remake by the same retards who fucked up the remaster and haven’t produced a single good game in their entire time owning the franchise your “favorite game” is part of.And if this sucks too I'll probably not play it much. You mad or something?I do well enough that I'm fine spending money on a remake of my favorite game even if it disappoints me.
>>543955708>I'm not thoSo you are a tranny then got it
>>543955502You're not cool for liking this garbage.
>>543955810schizo and has beenwho cares
>>543955502>tourists leaveYou mean actual Halo fans leave, which is what keeps happening after game game sucks and is why the games keep dying in a week and Microsoft is forced to downsize the company after failing to deliver the revenue they should be seeing.
>>543955924>>543955492Why are doomposters autistic /pol/tards 9/10 times?
>>543955810>>543955969Jaime Griesemer designed Pillar of Autumn, T&R, 343 Guilty Spark, The MawDan Orzulak designed Assault on the Control Room and Two BetrayalsMarcus Lehto designed Halo and Silent CartographerTyson Green designed The Library (rocket flood and sniper jackals were his idea)
>>543955858Nothing ever changes from pre-release builds.
>>543955934you're not cool for maulding
>>543955889>I do well enough that I'm fine spending money on a remakeWoah Richie McRich can afford to spend $70????? Not beating the brown allegations.
>>543955105Grim!
>>543956079halo was lightning in a bottle anon
>bluetana>halo 4 haircut>solid instead of a hologramIt can't keep getting worse
>>543955969Have more talent in their pinkies than all 343 combined.
>>543953576Lol the no who will never put on his mic? Lmao
>>543956017Nah, we're still here, and we will be playing the gamecope
>>543953953You can't make me
>>543955105>music will be worse>AI voice acting on the level of tiktok slop >all the atmosphere is lost
>32 round AR>Covies speaking english (wort wort wort?)>AI is as good as Halo CE>Warthog is doesn't take damage?>HUD is wrongWhat else have they fucked up?
>>543956409everything
>>543956240Gaylo 4 Cortana is honestly her hottest version, I don't mind it.
And yet once it comes out, faggots will find someone else to whine about and then find something else to whine about again
/gig/ here, i just came here to laugh at you
Foehammer doesn't even say "Touchdown! Hit it, marines!" Dead on arrival.
>>543956409It'd be easier to list what they left intact, which is uhhhhhh...
did they make the ar with 60 bullets or did they make it 32?
>>5439562404tana is the single good thing to come out of 343 so I’ll let it slide.
>>54395662432 and it has zoom now.
>>543956409>>32 round ARwhy? like really why? the whole point of it was lots of ammo and spam.
Reminder that Microshaft's last remaster was a complete gigabomb.Tick tock, Halo Jewdios...
>>543956540Nobody knows who you are
Goodbye discordsloppers.I'll be back on release to laugh at you again. I'll probably bring a steam chart too.
>>543956779Because they got rid of every defining trait CE had.
32 rounds AR is fine if the SMG is also there, but they haven't show it yet and I doubt they ever will.
>>543956698>>543956876thats and the needler are the only guns that you can spam with and the ar is the only one with an abundance of ammo, gods I hate modern game devs. Let me guess they added sprint?
Did anyone else notice all the framegen ghosting or is that just me?
>>543957338Watch the video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSjbIM0iegYIt has sprint.
>>543957404No your eyes aren't deceiving you. Unreal Engine just looks that fucking terribleThe dithering makes everything a blurry fucktarded mess
>>543957404No you can definitely tell it was chugging lol
>>543957404Halo 1 to Reach were passion projects made by white guys on a custom engine.It's UE5 and outsourced to Indians. It's going to be slop.
>>543957404just you bro only you have normal eye sight
BLOOD IS BACK
i am only buying the ps version of halo because the mp won't be added. mp is so gauche.

>>543955105I shant be playing.
>>543959017I think that's a an Infinite thing.
built 4 big brute COCK and CUM FILLED BALLS
I wish it was a Halo 5 port or a spinoff or anything else. Please god let me wake up from this nightmare.
>>543959017When I saw this I laugh and said "its over"for the 343rd time
>>543958445>>543958932This is a woman, isn’t it?
>>543959017not a big deal saar
>>543959673very true very true! Happy Dwaili!
>>543959572no its escharum after his transition
I tried touching up one of the screenshots to better match CE's art style. What do you guys think?
>>543958932I also know that you’re white.
>>543959373>dekuck color palette OH NO NO NO NO NO
>>543960089343 HIRE THIS MAN
So now that the dust has settled, was this better or worse than the Shitfinite Craig reveal?
>>543960089Original:
If they add the battle rifle and reach like armor abilities to the remake then it's going to be even more peak!!! Hopefully they change two betrayals and the library in a way that makes it less repetitive too.
>>543956079>Tyson Green designed The Librarythe same guy is currently killing destiny 2
>>543960306It’s worse, because instead of something brand new they’re now ruining CE for real.
Who exactly was clamoring for a UE5 Halo CE remake?
Holy shit this is so ass, the reload animations, the garbage sound, micro stutters the constant texture smudge and blurring the pop in, another common 343 L! I cant wait for the 3rd CE remake in 8 years
>>543960885Nobody but I dont think they have anyone that work on the garbage slipspace engine they wasted years making
>>543960306Shitfinite was a spear to the heart because it was the longest we've waited for a new title and the 2018 trailer was so hopeful that they were *finally* listeningAt the 2020 reveal when I saw the shitty hexagon pillars, sprint and the awful lighting I've never been more dissapointed in my life.This CE remake I tempered my expectations but was still annoyed and let down, still not as bad as Shitfinite but pretty up there>>543960885I didn't want to move to Unreal. I just wish Microsoft/343 would stop hiring contractors and outsourcing further ruining the engines code. In an alternate timeline they would still be using and upgrading Blam! engine (preferably the Halo 3 branch and not Reach's)
>>543960885ME!
will this be better than the original tho
Is it just me or does the AR animations broken. Its like they asked AI to program the gun and did the best it could
>Warthog has returned to the original sci-fi independent arm suspension instead of the lame bog standard IRL suspension introduced in Halo 4It only took over a decade.
>>543960306>So now that the dust has settled, was this better or worse than the Shitfinite Craig reveal?I'm not a fan of UE5slop, but anyone that tells you this was worse is quite literally just doomposting.The Infinite gameplay reveal straight up got the game delayed a year for how bad it was.At its absolute worst CEmake can just be ignored because CE already exists and the remake doesn't even have PvE so it will be culturally insignificant after a few weeks at most.
>>543961130from the coast of goldacross the seven seas
I'm gonna keep it real witchu Microshit I'm not buying a $1000+ card just to play a 20 year old game I can already play on the MCC.
>>543961653>Not already having a $1000 cardNot that you should buy it "for this", but cmon man stop being a poor gamer
>>543959017343 hasn't gotten the Forerunner architecture style right a single time. Came closest in Infinite, but still fucked it up with nonsense anti-gravity and the hexagon towers
>>543961525don't worry they'll switch back to it in halo 7
>>543961525Yeah but at the cost of having these weird retarded airless wheels LITERALLY copy and pasted from Infinite
>>543962049Never really played it, but I've been watching Halo 4 gameplay and every Forerunner level looks like a shitty Forge map.
How raped are we bros?
Can Halo Campaign Evolved beat these numbers?
>>543962313>stuck with the DeMake>never getting the OG now>probably never getting MCC despite years of rumorsbut yeah Sony totally won today
>>543962167UE5 makes me sick to my fucking stomach to look at
>>543962419it 100% willA lot of the hate here is justified, but it' also niche and less replicable among the masses, as opposed to infinite's problems
>>543962419>that imagewhy did this have to happen to every game
>>543962167It's as close as we've gotten to the original design, so I begrudgingly accept it.
>>543962387Like the average 12yo swedish girl these days.
>>543962429just give it up xgoyit's over
Hey guys what's happening in here?>UE5OH. Oh... oh...
>>543962672>going forwardlmao
You're all buying it, don't pretend otherwise.
>>543962672so they're never getting anything before this?THEY'RE NEVER GETTING A SINGLE BUNGIE HALO?And you're calling this a W? Would you have called getting infinite a W?
Any new weapons hinted at all besides the energy sword? This is like the perfect time to bridge the Reach weapons into CE and I didn't see shit. That would justify this remake more than anything, alongside making the second half less repetitive.
>>543962830You're spiraling lmao. Touch grass my nigga
>>543962785Just like I bought Destiny 2, Battlefield 1/5/6, and all those other great games that are totally in my library.
>>543962785i havent bought an xshart game since like the 360
>>543962785I have gamepass so I’m not buying shit
>>543962916>Any new weapons hinted at all besides the energy sword?Needle rifle and battle rifle will be in Campaign Evolved, according to the store description.
>>543962049Yeah the architecture is too shiny. It's supposed to be old and untouchedGod damn I hate this dumb fucks. The core of Halo: CE is ANCIENT, MYSTERIOUS AND EPIC >>543962465Everytime you screenshot the gameplay it's some blurry retarded mushy nonsense. I fucking hate Unreal
>>543963378I will now buy your game
>>543963378Sweet, actually makes this way more tempting. Now just include new vehicles and fix the level design of the second half and this might be a great remake.
>>543962785I just cancelled game pass today. I won’t even be playing your unrealslop for free.
>>543962613QRD?
>>543962956Xbox isn't even going to exist soon lmao.Also everyone with a brain has already thrown these jew consoles in the trash and moved to PC.It's just fun watching Xbox and their niggercattle consumers get cucked into oblivion.
THE THREE BIGGEST WINNERS AND LOSERS OF THE HALO REMAKE REVEAL>WINNER: MCCAt the end of the day, Halo is about both PvE and PvP, and the PvP sector with the most active population is MCC. With no new multiplayer development in sight, MCC will likely only consolidate most remaining players.>LOSER: Playstation UsersThis announcement seemingly closes the door on any classic Halo experience coming to PS5 any time soon. They may never get MCC now, which is really all that matters until who knows when.>WINNER: PCThis remains the one place where you can play everything now, at least within reason. Get the remake, avoid the remake, get MCC, avoid Infinite, etc. At least you have all the options, with the most customization.>LOSER: Game Pass$360 a year for a single-player remake that could end up being flop #5 for 343/HS? I guess you also get Outer Worlds 2 and Grounded 2...>WINNER: Halo GeneralThe need to both gatekeeper and adapt are both extinguished. Things can return to a simpler way of life, playing the games that matter, and without worry over what's to come, at least for some months.>LOSER: Halo InfiniteLost in all this is Infinite. Is this supposed to carry the torch of multiplayer until the next multi-plat game releases? For how long? Does anyone even care anymore?
>>543963506>Yeah the architecture is too shiny. It's supposed to be old and untouchedI actually think the weathering looks ok in placesMy problem is the line work. Greebling isn't the right word I don't think, like idk if you can say "it looks too greebled"Too organic, maybe? Like the shapes used?But the Bungie era stuff is very precise. Like architecutral draft paper
>>543963961>This remains the one place where you can play everything now, at least within reason. Get the remake, avoid the remake, get MCC, avoid Infinite, etc. At least you have all the options, with the most customization.Xbox can do literally all of this
>>543962785it's been 5 years and i still haven't played infinite
WINNER: The Banished3 steps aheadalwaysLOSER: Spartans on Laconia StationHow many remain? Do you even know?
Been getting the itch lately to get one of the original Halo games on the MCC, this shitshow reveal only makes that itch stronger. What are the multiplayer scenes like on 3/Reach, still alive?
>>543963506>The Silent Cartographer VS The Loud Cartographer
>>543964286Get a 360 and check.
>>543964231I can play mods on Xbox?I can play Custom Edition on Xbox?I can play Fireteam Raven on Xbox?
>>543964231https://www.nexusmods.com/halothemasterchiefcollection/mods/2114xbox cucks can't have this
>>543964231Xbox is a dead brand
>>543964286Halo 3 and reach are the most alive I can get H2 4v4 matches on East coastCE and 2 struggle to get BTBH4 is played below reach, 3 and reach are the most populated again I’ll repeatt.I still play mcc
>>543964286Multiplayer is still live yea. Kinda recommend Reach for the versatility.
>>5439642863 and reach have the healthiest populations.CE, 2 Anniversary, and 4 (if you can believe it) have middling populations.2 Classic is fuxking dead most of the time.
WINNER: Blue Teamflag taken flag dropped flag taken flag dropped flag taken flag dropped flag capturedGame overLOSER: Red Teamflag stolen flag dropped flag stolen flag dropped flag stolen flag dropped flag capturedgame over
>>543964608based post
>>543964608KEK
>>543964167The primary difference in the architecture from how Bungie did it to how 343 does it I think is that Bungie tried to make it look technological, but still sort of religious, with plenty of geometry, but not overboard. 343i just tries to make it all look like hyper advanced technology without a care in the world. They're more about spectacle (not even good spectacle), where Bungie was about atmosphere.
>>543964571Swap 2 Classic for 2 Anniversary and you're right.
finish the fight saar
>>543964571I keep 4 installed specifically for the action sack modes
>>543963782Not particularly anything new, though I may have exaggerated on the age.https://x.com/visegrad24/status/1980924784666956111
>>543964856it's more that Bungie's looks withered and that was easier to do with less polygons.It might not look as bad, but if Bungie was making CE in 2025, they would also probably make uglier forerunner architecture.
>>543965087grim
>a faithful yet modernized remake of the Halo: Combat Evolved campaign>FAITHFUL
>>543964350Fucking kek
>>543965339I mean, it's faithful enoughMaybe if they were delisting CE or making it impossible to play I'd be more upset, but I'm not gonna get mad at the remake having differences. If anything, I expected it to be more different.
>>543965087>that tweetwhat the fuck
>>543965678more or less my thoughts as wellgetting upset over the rounds in the AR or being able to use the sword is just ridiculous imoI'm not a huge fan of the art style tho, but I mean, at least it's much better than CEA
>>543965339>sprint>32 round AR>covenant speaking english>terrible sound design (4th game in a row btw)lollmao
>new halo reveal>watch video>see sprint>close videoWhy?Nearly a decade after the DOOM reboot won the argument yet they're still doing this.
why is Halo 343 Studios like this?
every time I see people listing the AR as a reason to hate on the game I just assume there is nothing the game could have done to make them not doompost.It's "$60 ODST" tier complaining
>>543966165the new doom has sprint... you don't put your gun down tho
>>543966175Thanks for making this anon, I was gonna do this myselfI knew I wasn't going insane recognizing the Infinite models. I naively thought they would be creating new assets. This is CEA: Electric Boogaloo, they learnt fucking nothing
>>543966175these are actually fine, except maybe the needler, but whatever
Well?
>>543966175Because everyone said they liked the Infinite art style, so you’re stuck with it now.
>>543966487I like it compared to 4 and 5, and I guess ReachBut that's like... a low bar
>>543963827What idiot is in charge of the art direction over at their studios? The original draws the eye in to the mysterious structure.The "modern" one is compositionally schizophrenic and devoid of any soul or mindfulness to design. It looks more like a fighting game background than an interesting and mysterious megastructure
>>543966484Halo ended when Bungie moved on.Nothing lasts forever.I'm fine playing MCC and then newer games outside of that
>>543966165When they showed sprint in the Infinite gameplay reveal I audibly groanedWhen they showed it in the CE remake I threw my phone at the wall
>/v/ is losing their shit over no multiplayerretards, i'm glad we're not getting them
>>543964167Bungie really had such a unique and interesting look to their franchise. It's a shame both bungie and 343/halo studios or whatever has lost sight of this
Back in the day video games were created by 10-20 white nerdy friends who'd willingly move into the office during development. They woke up eating cold pizza, developed some vidya, played vidya together on lunch break, developed some more vidya, got high/drunk with each other at night, then woke up to do it all again.The games were made by gamers, for gamers.Now it's just corporate slop outsourced to India
AGAIN
>>543966618>soulPlease stop saying this shit. They’re never going to listen if you keep giving vague criticism like “soul” and “soulless” (not that they listen anyway but still).
>Jarrard chimes in. "This will probably get me flamed, but sprint has been introduced in the franchise since 2010. So there's been more Halo with sprint than without," he says. "But when you have almost 25 years of a franchise spanning seven mainline titles, they've each evolved in different ways as they've gone. Each one has created its own pocket of, 'That's the only one I like.'"Are you still mad at sprint?
>>543966889leave the race shit out of it or else you're not going to be taken seriously
>>543966941Grim.

>>543966941Why does this look so janky. It looked weird when I watched the trailer too.
>>543967053Sprint itself? No. The intent behind it? Absolutely. Sprint isn’t in the game for any good reason like enhancing the gameplay, 343i added it solely to chase trends and be different from Bungie. It’s a sign of malice and contempt.
>>543967086>leave the race shit out of it or else you're not going to be taken seriouslyCope. Halo was made by white guys and asian guys
>lumen artifacting, heavy dithering, and sub 30 fps in the fucking showcase youtube video
>>543967001Fine I can rephrase it: ...the modern design is devoid of any 'animation'not in the "moving pictures" sense, but in the classical latin sense, anima, life. The original has it. These more modern remakes feel rushed, designed to be pushed out the door for a quick buck. Contrastingly, the original feels like it was made with purpose by a creator (i.e. a studio) that wanted to impress and awe you and move you emotionally by playing through their work and taking time to admire it

>>543967657I fucked up the cropping but yeah it kinda looks bad
>>543967086It’s true, but you’re right. As soon as you bring race into it (((they))) stop listening to anything you say. And unfortunately race is hardly the only issue at this point because whites are cucked now too. Gamers were just different back then. The real problem is that corpos and women started taking notice of video games.

The game and immediately surrounding setting information were written first and FoR was written to fit with what was already written.>Many of the people who made that era so fun have gone to other companies or went on to start their own companies like Marcus Lehto's V1 Interactive, Alex Seropian's Wideload Games and Industrial Toys, Hamilton Chu's Giant Bite, Max Hoberman's Certain Affinity with David Bowman and Chad Armstrong, and Martin O'Donnell joined Highwire GamesThe story itself is balanced perfectly, not just the three factions but the little things too.>Forerunners were godlike but were consumed by a smart parasite>They built galaxy ending weapons of death, but covered them in life>The Covenant are exterminating the descendants of the beings they worship>Guilty Spark drones on and on about protocol, yet breaks the ultimate rule of not trying to kill the people that are meant to inherit Forerunner tech.343 (2011+)>The competitive MLG crowd wanted ZBNS settings>Ordnance drops>Infinity Slayer (There's a reason infinity settings were removed from 95% of Halo 4 by the end of its life span)>Legendary Slayer came 2 years later>Less vehicles and less dynamic gunplay>ammo fairly scarce in and sandbox is plagued by redundancy>Greg Bear's Forerunner Saga and Karen Traviss' Kilo-5 Trilogy are written specifically to lead up to Halo 4 and up>the entire Halo 4 campaign team left after Halo 4 and so 343 replace them with the Spartan Ops team, this is why they were pushing coop so hard>Microsoft's goal for the Halo franchise is to make the long-running sci-fi FPS series last at least another 30 years

>>543969503same
>>543969493From Eric Nylund himselfhttp://halo.bungie.org/bwu/index.html?item=91>The Master Chief was a complete mystery. In fact, many people (names omitted here, so I'm not assassinated) wanted the Master Chief to remain a blank, faceless solider. Terminator-ish as it were. They weren't convinced any writer could portray him as tough as he is in the game and make him, for lack of a better word, "human," too.>One complaint I hear a lot is that the novels aren't canon and do not mesh with the game. From the very beginning the novels were designed to be optional, but official, material. Bungie didn't want people to have to read the novels to follow the game. That would be silly. The novels are designed to be an official companion pieces, and if you read them you experience a richer back story and understanding of the Halo universe. This strategy, however, necessitated that references to the extra material be minimized in game so as to not confuse people who hadn't read the books.>People got the impression that the Master Chief was the only Spartan (in the Halo:CE game manual it said he was the "the last known Spartan" or words to that effect), but people wanted more of a good thing.Writing the Fall of Reach was actually really rough for Nylund. He had around 7 weeks to write out the entire book for a deadline of two weeks before the game released - by then the story of the game was probably sealed and it was just last touches being made - and halfway through writing the book Microsoft executives wanted to cut it since they wanted Chief to be everybody's self-insert. (Thank god for Eric Trautmann otherwise the Halo EU wouldn't exist.)Joe Staten wrote Chief as a cyborg super-soldier clint eastwoodJason Jones, Joseph Staten, Eric Trautmann and Eric Nylund wrote the story/lore for Fall of Reach, Halo, First Strike, Halo 2, and Ghosts of Onyx.Halo 3 and Reach were written by a committee, and Frank O'Connor was head of 343's writing team.
It looks boring bros. I wanted the high mobility gameplay of infinite back. They didn’t add new enemies, add new vehicles, or remix the levels. What the fuck’s the point?

Having not watched the trailer yet because I'm at work and work wifi blocks YouTube... I read the write up. So this is actually a remake and not running anything from the original under the hood?So why the fuck does it look so bad and janky.
AR compass is definitely misaligned though.

Halo Campaign Evolved has 9 new weapons from other games in the franchise according to the its description on Steam. Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.>Energy Sword (Confirmed)>Battle Rifle (Confirmed)>Needle Rifle (Confirmed)>Fuel Rod Gun (Highly likely, was partly in the original game, reworked and introduced as a usable weapon in Custom Edition)>Flamethrower (somewhat likely, cut weapon from the original game, was reintroduced with Custom Edition)>Sentinel Beam (somewhat likely, enemy weapon, introduced in later games)>SMG (somewhat unlikely, would serve as a replacement for the classic CE AR)>Beam Rifle (unlikely, it's a well known and infamous weapon)>Gravity Hammer (very unlikely, because 343i seems to like that weapon for some reason)

>>543972416343 cannot do forerunner shit to save their lives
Bungie was very particular about how the Warthog controls and meant for it to be chaotic and roll over a lot. Since 343 is just pasting this over Halo Infinite, you have the baby shit Warthog that is too heavy to roll over. It'll make the final warthog run a cakewalk with no tension
>>543972416i am vomit
damn i love slop
343 finally realised they fundamentally cannot make a Halo game, so they've resorted to copying Bungie from 24 years ago, and it's still garbage.
Are you all still coping and seethe?

>>543966175I dont like that they keep doing that.I would loved to see the CE artstyle with more modern graphics.its a really big problem with anything forerunner too.I dont think they truly understand the visual language of the OG games.everything gets reduced to shiny metal and blue lights everywhere.not even the hologram inside the security station was spared.halo's artstyle is clear and simple but that makes the modest details shine.343s/halo studio's attempt is closer to the "nintendo hire this man !" meme.the forerunner structures in the og games are mostly matte and concrete-ish while the details sometimes feel closer to stone carvings.ever since 343 took over its nothing but polished aluminum with an absurd amount of greebling.

but what do the reguloids think?
>>543977368I don't have an opinion.
Okay but when are they gonna make a game that has female elites with big tits
Wow halo fans are vocal about CEmake and they are not happy. They're discontented with how it's just a cheap asset flip and the whole UE5 thing. I guess they were holding out hope for a faithful remake. There's even a petition that's garnered hundreds of signatures to have the game canceled. Obviously that won't happen but it shows how unhappy they are.
I think there is sexual satisfaction being derived from the mocking you are dishing out.
>>543977992it's just how 4chan works these daysDoesn't matter. Everyone here will play it.And everyone here will play the next multiplayer game too.
>>543953953obviously we're going to play it, but like, it's campaign onlyEven if it was a hit we would be over it soonThey need a new mp game soon
so what happens now?
>>543978338rape
>>543978338>so what happens now?slow push to thread 2000 and then probably death/hg/ had a good 10-year run, but an announcement for a campaign only game that many here find lackluster can't keep this place going for another year.Keep in mind that after June, people here were ready to give up already, but there was one final effort put towards holding out hope for LITERALLY TODAY.So yeah it's over. Not today. Not tomorrow. Soon tho.
eschover
>half-assed asset flip remake(again)so they're actually working on something new besides this right?
>>543978550I wouldn't even be surprised if we don't make 2000 after today>>543978893They actually areThere's a new mp only game and also the Infinite sequel, but that stuff will probably be 2027 onwards
i think it's funny that they added the purple-ish planet to the skybox thinking it would somehow evoke CE's artstyle
Probably not the best idea to be making assumptions about the media people will or won't consume in an era where even Marvel and Star Wars movies stopped being sure things.
he hates itThat's not what he's saying, but you can tell he hates it and is just trying to be positive
343 THRIVES on sprint debate. This was literally the one game they shouldn't have added sprint, they had an excuse to exclude it, and they didn't. Because they love the controversy, it's the only thing Halo has anymore. Make your fans upset and they'll keep talking about the game, trick newer fans into thinking the old fans are retards and they'll keep talking about your game.
>Unreal NightmareIndeed...
>>543979921yeah that's working out great for them lmao
>>543980354idk if you've played their games but they clearly aren't very smart
>>543979919Cautiously Optimistic
>>543966175>lets remake the game people like and make it look like the game they hategenuis. worked out well last time.
they should call it campaign ascended cause it looks like a fucking Ark mod and runs like it too.
Not in love with the visualsGameplay looms alright I guess
>>543980757it will probably play "fine" because infinite played "fine".but yeah everything the anons that warned about unreal5 was correct.
>>543980757"Alright" gameplay is significantly worse than what the original game had. I don't trust 343 to not fuck up the weapon balance, because they just had to touch a bunch of the weapons.
In that developer trailer, they talked about how they've been reading fan feedback for years and trying to keep the game true to its origins. Mofo, we told you not to add sprint. The hell are you on about. The one time we need Halo not to have sprint and you put it in anyway. Who the hell is making these decisions at 343. Is Bill Gates the one demanding sprint? Is that why we're stuck with it forever? Why is it such a protected mechanic. Why is it not allowed to be rexamined and reevaluated? Almost every other mechanic gets to be on the chopping block but they keep treating sprint like it's something special. Why does 343 like it so much and why do some people defend it and tell us to play Halo 3? Why is sprint so special to you that it's not allowed to be removed?
This is our franchise now, old man.
>32
>>543981025I don't expect it to be better than CE, which is like a 9/10 video game
>>543978893There were things they had to make entirely new models for since nothing HD enough was around in 4,5 or Infinite, and that definitely ate up the skeleton crew's time. Bit odd they haven't acquired/mimicked Marcus's armor and Warthog models already but maybe the skeleton crew is even smaller than I think. We'll see.

Look how it contorts and squirms and he fights to not be super negative, and even then he has to let a few negative remarks out.He knows he can't be too negative or Halo Studios won't give him any dripfeed.
What new story bits will they add? Seeing the Covenant dealing with the Flood? The Arbiter before he becomes disgraced? The Shipmaster discovering the Flood on that one ship?
>>543981548I'm starting to feel bad for the little retard.

>>543981157>Why is it such a protected mechanicAmerican culture is centered around sprint mechanics. They have holidays around sprint! They elected a president who sprints! Etc etc.
>>543981157I don't care about it being in campaign unless it's somehow adjusting campaign's balance a ton. Even so why are we stuck with "me put down gun me go fast"? Speed up, accuracy negatively affected is way better, especially for campaign. Even normal soldiers can run while shooting even if their aim is affected meaningfully.
>>543981781unlikely, the story probably won't be touched too much save for those three prequel missions

My cope is that this low effort asset flip was slopped together by a small B-Team, and everyone else is working on Halo 7.Or this is actually their full effort and we're fucked.

He represents the worst of any fandom. He’s also morally bankrupt in his personal life and lets everyone know it. His IQ might be higher than other halo YouTubers but that doesn’t make him better.
>>543983576she is gonna look like CE Cortana... right? they wouldn't dare
You know what. I think that's it for me. They finally, after all this time, all these fuckups... Have finally broken me. I don't care anymore. Halo is dead. It has been zombified, castrated, beaten, raped, hung by it's entrails and it's corpse paraded through the city. But today it died. A "from the ground up complete remake" of Halo and they're such fucking retarded hacks that they can't even make the game feel like Halo without borrowing code from 25 fucking years ago, from people with more talent in their pinkies than they do an entire studio. It's not just pathetic it's fucking sad. And it tells me everything I need to know: The captain is asleep at the wheel and not a single fucking person on the bridge even knows how the ship works.I'm going to hook up my original Xbox to a CRT this weekend, and play Halo CE. Maybe I'll go on and play Halo 2. I'm going to drink a little, smoke a little, and firmly cement in my mind that these are things of the past that belong there. My memories of these games are memories of my childhood, and as we all know you can never go back... You can only visit. Fuck you 343, one final time. Burn in hell for what you've done.
hope you are all having a... comfy night?
>>543981548His reaction to sprint is funny also notice at the end of the video he says it’s over and we’re so back chart.
>>543983970>His IQ might be higher than other halo YouTubers but that doesn’t make him better.he comes across as high functioning autistic
>>543983950Literally reminds me of that bell meme. He can't complain about it because "negativity bad!" but the ones who know will know.
>>543983225Maybe. None have a voice as annoying and go "ERM ACKSHULLY" quite as much, though.
>>543984069I hate 343
>>543984069It’s chaos, everyone is mad.
>>543983896>REDhaven't seen him give an opinion yet>shadehaven't seen him give an opinion yet>Goyim"it's over">JJABhates it>L3prechaunseems cautiously optimistic>Mahoganyseems cautiously unoptomistic
>>543984069yeah I mean I'm interested in itI hate the UE5 smear, but i'm interested in it
>>543982657>HydraI love the hydra but it's too high tech looking to fit into CE unless they change the appearance. Gravity hammer could be a good one, could be a one-time thing humans got from contact harvest and decide to drop it down to chief for support during Truth and Reconciliation, before he enters the ship. Focus rifle and needle rifle would be kino on jackals.
>>543984069I'm making gifs from the trailerIt's fun eyecandy if nothing else
>>543984203>>543984236:(>>543984401kot
>>543984349i like it and i’m interested dont hate pls
>>543984617No it's fine i like it tooI just hate how the forerunner shit looks.Outside of that I'm excited to play itI've waited so long for 4-players in CE
>>543971862I imagine the three prequel levels will have Brutes in them so I think the Gravity Hammer is more likely than not to appear
>>543982657I'd love all of those honestly. But I doubt it. They seem to be trying to memoryhole the sticky detonator for some reason.
>>543984495I did a little less gaming and a little more investing and got my hands on assets that did 200% in the past little while, resisting the market downturnIf things go even 1/10th as well as they can I'll just be able to fund a campaign mod to my liking (with margin for error) so whatever way Halo is taken I'll be alright
>>543984701maybe... they’ll improve some aspects like thatit happened with infinite so who knows
>>543984069It’s fine. Everyone knew exactly what we’d be getting. Anyone mad now has themselves to blame for not accepting it sooner.
>>543983896i'll drop my full take tomorrow after I sleep on it
>>543985173am i not allowed to be mad at the bad decisions i knew they were going to make
>>543984878yeah less gaming.. more investing and now you're casually talking about funding a whole campaign mod like it's just.. an option
>>543985204Red about to get put in a peach for saying he likes the forerunner shit looking like Tron Cathedrals
>>543985240I mean, yeah. I just don’t know why anyone would act surprised. It’s been over a decade of this shit.
>>543979919Who is he? He looks like one of those pro Trump supported, like the one who got killed.
Fact: 343's forerunner architecture has gotten worse in every game.
>>543985316If I were more daring I would've already been positioned to. Used the money from working at a warehouse for a few months. Just looked around until I found something solid but early in the making. 'Course some people can't even find work so I know it's not a universal option. Research was very brain frying too.
>>543985751It’s always bad however it was least bad in shitfinite. But the badness of shitfinite is exemplified by it being needlessly pasted over Combat Evolved.
>>543984959Video games just don't have the soul of hand drawn concept art rendered as best as they could at the time anymore. This single piece looks better than any subsequent Halo games Marines ever did. Pure soul.
BAHAHAHA
>>543979919They cock teased the flood specifically for him. And very specifically didn’t actually show a model in action because they can’t do anything right.
>>543986339Jesus fucking christ. At least this is the doomer gift that will keep on giving.
>>543986339I only really mind that last part, however, it'd be more fun to encourage players to find a way to get the Hog past the rocks instead of just having it open. Easily a line Cortana or a Marine could deliver. It was fun setting this ambush, but I can kind of see for how such a small thing they figured it's better to lead people to the fun in a more obvious way rather than challenging their brains.
>>543986339It must suck seeing 343 repeatedly butcher your 2001 masterpiece and claim it is the definitive version each time.
>>543986339this is a special kind of hell
>needle rifle is back I actually adore the Needle Rifle but I don’t see a need for it in CE’s weapon sandbox
>>543985905you kept at it even when it drained you so that persistence mattersbest of luck ahead
>>543986947Arguably, the only addition that CE really has a need for(not including the PC weapons) is a Sentinel Beam.
>>543984069The Halo community's a bit too awake right now... definitely not comfy
>the magnum doesn't 1 shot hunters in their back-gapabsolutely unacceptable.
>>543986339OGs have been getting the warthog up there since 01It's as Halo as taking the banshee at the end of Control Room
>you can remove sprint in the menus This is actually not enough. It needs to not even be an option.>>543986827
>>543987384i'll just remove it if it bothers me
>>543987384>you can remove sprint in the menuswhy even include it? how unconfident are they in "their own" game?
>>543987452this
>>543987452>>543987508he's mad about other people using ityes it's a dumb complaint
>>543987452>>543987508if you don't like jumping you can also unbind that button
>>543987381Yes. However. You’re supposed to think it’s inaccessible via warthog as a new player. It’s not supposed to be easy driving.
>>543987062Thank you. Gonna get to help a lot of people (practically) once all goes well.
>>543987602>new playersI would just tell them to play CE
>>543984069it was exactly what I expected and the response is exactly what I expected and I am laughing
>>543984069I mean i'm excited
>>543987660there are some people that are just mad about it not being more faithful to CE for new players.Dumb complaint though because as you pointed out, nobody in their right mind would start with a remake over an original masterpiece. You can name the exceptions on like 1 hand.
>>543987563Correct>its dumb It’s the wrong experience and the game is lesser for it. Halo 1 is an incredible game that is detracted by changes to the core gameplay. People will experience a lesser game because arms need to flail around to make 343 feel good.
>>543987838literally the only one I can think of is Zero Mission
>>543986339>Remakes and remasters are soul-destroying and I feel for any dev working on one. They can't win and even if they do they won't get credit.
>>543987869then they should play the original game firstit's pointless to lose sleep over not being able to control what other people do.
>>543987869eh, if the second half of the game is earned up enough I could see it breaking even.The library and Keyes are baaaaaaad missions
>>543987838How about the entire PlayStation ecosystem that has never experienced CE proper?
>>543987869Anon I don't necessarily disagree but at this point anybody with toaster can get CE on PC for 5 bucks at any given point in time.If they go out of their way to pay $80 for Unreal slop instead and that's their first experience with Halo then they deserve to have an inferior first experience.
>>543987723:3
>>543986339>expect this to be some whatever eceleb >open image>it's fucking jaime Lmao. On a side note, he's a cool dude. Back when I was doing Halo modding I asked him a bunch of gameplay design stuff and he just straigt up answered.
>>543988238Niiice
>>543988040I would accept a library overhaul to be more like halo 2’s with an exterior and then different stuff on different floors. Keyes is great. I like how it’s pure chaos and you’re just trying to push through it to save the Captain. not sure why people don’t like it. My only complaint about it is that it’s too short. I like longer missions.
>>543988056see >>543988168Halo has been on PC since 2003.It has been on Steam for years.If someone STILL avoids that and goes out of their way to shell out a retarded msrp for a remake when the OG masterpiece is right there, they deserve to get a stupid prize for playing a stupid game.Likewise, you're retarded id you're actually losing sleep over such a retarded scenario.
>>543987838>nobody in their right mind would start with a remake over an original masterpiecei don't think you could be more wrong. how many people who played the silent hill remake do you think played the original?
>>543988352Keyes has infinitely spawning enemies and it ruins the pacing
>>543988056Ah yes the mythical playstation player that is interested in trying Halo but has never been able to.
>>543988386nobody in their right mind"in their right mind" being the key wordsRetards gonna retard
>>543988356>>543988168theseCE isn't a hard game to obtain or play.If some aspie literally avoids the cheaper superior game that even has multiplayer and goes for the insanely priced remake that clearly looks terrible and even content creators that they love so much are shitting on, then they deserve to have a bad first halo experience.
>>543988448well that's 99% of the people who are going to play it
My thoughts:>GameplayLooks ehhhhhh...Don't like sprint.>VisualsAbsolute dogshit Are those fucking infinite assets?Lmao at that Vaseline smear on everything.Some of the darker areas look alright, but still>AudioVery torn here.Music sounds admittedly pretty greatHowever the sfx sound Halo 4 tier>Level DesignI'm fine with it. Interested to see how they change it up. I think they specifically showed us TSC because that is a level they probably changed the least. I expect later levels to get more significant overhauls, especially Library and AOTCR.>Extra contentHappy with most of this. I like having the needle rifle in the game, and 4 player co-opI am a 6/10 on the interested scale. I would maybe buy it on a sale based on what I've seen, but I'm willing to see more.
>>543989021Even if I grant you that, then 99% of people are retarded and it's not worth giving a shit about controlling the narrative for them over what their first halo is. They're just going to run back to the fortnite bus either way.
>>543988168Look up halo 1 on YouTube right now. Most of it is anniversary graphics. And it’s hideous. The general population doesn’t care about the original intended experience they want the officially marketed “definitive” experience that is most easily accessible on the front page of their digital storefront. When you talk with someone about Halo 1 in the future, the other person will be talking about this remake, and they will have no idea there was multiplayer.>>543988418They wont be holdouts. It’s going to be casually curious people who will get it on sale a year after it comes out. They’ll get a lesser experience. And that is sad.
at this point im surprised they haven't run halo 3 through the remake slopification machine
>>543989021Good. Let retards play the retard halo.
>>543989228>and they will have no idea there was multiplayerreminds me of some dude on his high horse saying I got my memories and knowledge of OG Marathon multiplayer existing from some video/stream
>>543989228I'm looking on youtube right now and that's not the case at all lol
>>543989242I think they want to but they can’t because it is too big and too complicated of a project. Things like theater are too popular of a feature and 343 doesn’t have the technical competency to remake it 18 years later.
>Halo CE? Do you mean Combat Evolved, Custom Edition, or Campaign Evolved?
>>543989242they'd actually have to develop a multiplayer mode
>>543989353I get accused of that all the time when discussion about that comes up.>no one cares about marathon you only know it because of mandaloregaming's videos!Like, no dude I'm in my 30's I was around for early Bungie.
>>543989228nah. Care about your own experiences, not what some snoys who won't even stick around in the community will think.Yeah if I walk around in public and ask zoomers about star wars, they will maybe say they like Kylo Ren or the new shit. If I go to an actual star wars convention, or forum, it's chuck filled to the brim with people who still insist on viewing the movies without any of George's gay edits or whatnot.The masses have always had retarded opinions about Halo, long before today. You should stop letting them live rent free in your head. And let's be honest, 343 isn't creating some huge new contingent of fans with this. They didn't with CEA, and they won't now. They suck at that. Call the game shit by all means, lose the God Complex.
>>543989716this
>hey man you know how the beam tower is iconic?>what if we made everything the beam tower?It's fucking everywhere. It's the new hexagonal pillar.
>>543989716My experience of halo on the original Xbox is untainted anon. I’ll be fine I don’t think I’ll even play this. I’m saying I feel bad for new players, and I feel bad for the original devs >>543986339 seeing their lightning in a bottle masterpiece shit on and covered up by incompetence. The sequels they made were bad enough, remakes are awful.
>>543989908it looks straight out of infinite too
>>543989242I think it will happen. Quite strongly after this. Because all the sandbox additions and changes are derived from Halo 3. The AR change and adding vehicle stun are the two most direct examples.
>he actually thinks snoys are going to play thislmao no. just no. They don't give a fuck. If they did, they would have grabbed MCC on PC for 5 bucks one of the 40 times it was on sale in the last several years.Snoys do not care about Xbox shit. They didnt fucking TOUCH that gears remaster.Hell, they don't even touch their own exclusives. Pic related is what snoys play.There will be no grand resurgence with this game. It will crash and burn and Xbox with it.
>>543990185thisthe only people in any sizable number that like halo are legacy xbrosThis shit will bomb hard on PS5 just like Gears Reloaded
>>543989485if the CE sells well enough without the multiplayer, I'm guessing they'll be ballsy enough to remake the halo 3 campaign and not bother with theater or multiplayer since any new fans probably don't even know that theater mode was a thing
>>543990185who the fuck buys an expensive console to play roblox
>>543990306this has been the Playstation market for 2 generations now.
>>543990306that's literally what Playstation Users do.You didn't let /v/ trick you into thinking that those Eastern and weeb exclusives were actually what were selling the consoles, did you?The average snoy has no fucking idea what bloodborne even is kek.
>>543990185I'm guessing it's going to be a November release too because 25th anniversary, which means it's going to be up against GTA VI.Can't wait to see the PS5 player numbers make shitfinite's steam playercount look highly populated.
>>5439903823 generations
>>543990306The Non-Nintendo console market has been an enigma for many years now.People literally ask their parents to buy them for shit they can play on their phones.
>>543990306Normie console users are fucking terrifying. I see it occasionally on fb marketplace, you'll find something like "xbox/playstation game collection" and it's just 25 yearly sports games and call of duty.
>>543990504yup.I'm all for shitting on this remake, it looks horrendous, but anybody actually losing sleep over the idea that there's going to be some significant wave of new halo fans created that are indoctrinated into thinking THIS is what halo is really has no accurate read on the Playstation public and market interest.>>543990524fair enough
>>543990306People en masse have not been buying Xbox or Playstation for exclusives for over a decade now.Actually, of those two, Xbox has a slightly higher exclusive attachment rate, probably because of game pass.
>>543990185>if snoys were going to play halo, they would have bought it on pcwhat
>>543990185thisthe snoys you see on /v/ are not representative of their actual base.Snoys overwhelmingly play Fifa, CoD, Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, and GTA.
>>543989228Dude, none of the trailers or demo footage have even crossed the 1m mark. Nobody gives a shit about this demake.
>>543990872Everybody in the United States that lives in a house that can afford a PS5 has a computer in their hone that can run MCC. Some fucking school Chromebook can even run it.
>>543990951I'm gonna sound like a huge hypocrite after shitting on 5's ADS for a decade, but that needler ADS really doesn't look that bad
>>543990872I think his point is Halo CE is extremely accessible. If you have a PC or laptop that is from 2014 or newer you can run MCC and they give that away for a few bucks frequently
>>543990951lower the contrast holy shit
>>543990951I still hate the jagged crystals on the needler. Thanks for that Reach.
>>543990294It’s possible I guess? But I think part of the reason halo 3 was exceptional is it did so many things so well. Going for less than 1/3 of the playerbase with a campaign only remake would be an odd choice financially. And the only thing that didn’t age flawlessly graphics wise are some of the face models. The whole thing seems like sunken cost fallacy. Remaking the campaign wouldn’t do anything except change the look, just redoing the faces wouldn’t reconstitute it being sold as a new game, remaking the whole game would be too monumental of a task to actually accomplish. Halo 3 I think was future proofed. The only sad thing is mcc’s netcode is ass and the menus suck compared to the original. But I mean the overall halo 3 just exists and 343 can’t do anything to replace it.
>>543991003That does make me feel good anon. Thank you.
>>543990942People that used PS4 primarily for exclusives was around 10% of users I think. Though more had played an exclusive game at some point.
I think this only could have worked if a) Halo didn't spend over a decade shitting itself to deathb) Halo CE never existed outside of the original xboxThere is no greater audience for Halo anymore. It's just Halo fans that would buy Halo regardless.
>>543991414>>543991549why is he grey
i hope they added a space battle cutscene at the start of the game atleast
I wish they would have remade CE’s multiplayer.
>>543991414>>543991549>This is now.
why are they making a remake, we already have a remaster. is halo studios stupid?
>>543991598Color is gay and old.
The new missions should be from other characters’ pov. Discuss
>>543991492Console gaming is so fucking cursed in the modern eraA select few games have the overwhelming majority of players retention. Yes, people will occasionally play something else but if you look at the achievement/trophy tracking data, they almost mever even finish the game once.
>>543991769No.
>they aren't using that ungodly infinite ma5b skinOh thank god.>it's yet another weirdly proportioned blocky thingFuck sake. Marcus Lehto proving to be the only one that can make a HD MA5B without fucking it up.
>>543991263It’s literally infinites model. I’m really sad because I adore the CE’s Blue look in first person
>>543991769If you can pull that off well you have the skill to make it entertaining from Chief's POV and then make bonus content from the POV of others.Rather, the competence is there up until it is hampered by some higher-up with bad ideas and the wrong priorities.
>>543991769hmm.. maybe a team of different characters? honestly, that might be enough content for a whole game!
>>543991683i'm going to bed but the short version of my take is that this feels like what we should have gotten in 2011 instead of CEA. Obviously it wouldn't have this high fidelity visuals, but you know what I mean.I still would have complained about it, but half of my issue with what I saw today was that it just seemed so unnecessary right now.It would have been so much easier to just port MCC to PS5, no?
>>543991787It's a fucking nightmare looking at achievement acquisition %. It's shit like>finish the first level - 73%>finish the second level - 17%
>>543992008yupXbox is slightly better than Playstation but not enough to really brag about.
>>543989908So did the Indians that they hired to make this not know that thing is supposed to be a door hinge that Cortana opens for Foehammer to fly underground at the end of the mission? What a ridiculous oversight, it looks completely retarded and non-functional now.
>>543991787so what makes Nintendo different then?
>>543992090But it's the ICONIC BEAM TOWER?Also it looks like H4 forerunner stuff without the tron lines to me. Just a massive case of "okay you can stop modeling the forerunner structure now stop adding more grooves and chamfered edges please".
>>543992129Nintendo has a fundamentally different user support base and market than Xbox and PS do. It's more of a cult-like atmosphere, where as the others are more of a public high school atmosphere where everyone wants to be in the IN crowd or whatever. So you end up with Xbox and PS overwhelmingly all playing the same multiplat games, but meanwhile on Nintendo consoles exclusive games dominate and multiplats actually sell somewhat poorly.
>>543991960>>543991981>new missions are just reach’s space combat but in a longsword fighter
>infinite uses more metal tones than chrome for forerunner structure>think "they finally remembered that bungie used bronze, gold, ect too">ce remake is just chrome everywhere again
>>543992129Three of Nintendo's top games are Minecraft, Fortnite and Apex Legends. They aren't that different. Just less availability, no Call of Duty for example.
Please don't tell me you guys have a problem with FoHammer being black?
>oc donut steel prequel missions instead of just doing first strike
>>543992542 She was always black.
>>543992542you're the only retard that's mentioned it
They said they’d use halo infinite as inspiration going forward but the sprint is halo 5 and so is the HUD and so is the zoom on the needler. I don’t ever want to think about 5 again, how could the do this to me?!?
>>543992591AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Are people honestly butthurt that Ps5 or whatever will be able to play the new Halo remake?
>>543992542What do you mean "being black"? She was always black. Are people deaf?
>>543992629I need actual confirmation those things are from 5 stillso far all I've seen is people saying they look similar
>>543992602Bungie is full of shit about forerunner tank there is nothing revealed about it to suggest it would have been good
>>543992649some people are but as we've covered next to nobody on PS is gonna play itIf anything we feel bad for them for not getting the better deal: mcc
>>543992720It also didn't exist outside of a whiteboard and inside their own minds according to Ken and the digsite people.
>>543992634Forced
>>543992720TRVKE
>>543992649No one cares halo has been dead for a long time /hg/ mostly exists as a chat room for boomers.

Jaime is not happy>You aren’t supposed to be able to take the Warthog up to steamroll the Hunters. I intentionally placed rocks in the way so you had to fight them on foot.

Bro how is it possible to make another flop this bad? Jesus Christ. This is their fifth fucking attempt and it doesn’t even have multiplayer.
>Remakes and remasters are soul-destroying and I feel for any dev working on oneB-B-B-BASED
Max Hoberman designed Halo 2/3's maps and multiplayer. He didn't work on Reach's base maps. That's why the maps were just direct rips of campaign levels.Sage Merrill became Gameplay Design Lead for Reach/Destiny>“We learned a hard lesson,” Lehto admitted. “We tried to carve out campaign sections that we would dedicate to wall off as a multiplayer map. That worked with some success, but we felt the stresses of each one of the modes really fighting with one another in the midst of those missions. In hindsight, we should have carved out the multiplayer maps as their own thing. Using the same visual palettes as the single-player missions, but then allowing for complete freedom to do what we wanted with those maps.”Jaime Griesemer left Bungie after Sage happened (lol remember when everyone blamed him back then)https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2010/03/31/exclusive-interview-on-the-halo-reach-sandbox.aspx
>>543992649Not really, mostly because I fucking hate Microsoft after their continuous mistreatment of their IPs and gamers that I just don’t think they deserve to have exclusives.
We’ll never get to know who the endless are for this…
>>543992862Neat.
>>543992862>>543993054Jaime's take on sprint in Campaign Evolved>“Make it an option” is the biggest red flag for a dysfunctional design. We have no vision for what this is supposed to be, here’s the tools to fix it yourself.>Gearbox did break a lot of stuff. Like basing their code off the PAL version…. Ugh>Pistol LS didn’t do headshots until very late in development. It felt like you were a real Spartan when you could dance with the Hunters with kill them in two perfect shots, so we left it in. Most people ditched the pistol on their first playthrough anyway.>Let me know if you need help tuning the Warthog.
>>543992649I genuinely haven't turned on my Xbone since 2020 and never had a Series X. The console war shit is so irrelevant to me that I cannot believe there are people that actually care about it still.
>>543993295Oh thank fuck someone who actually has some credibility called out the "lmao just toggle it fix it yourself!" stuff.
>>543993295>“Make it an option” is the biggest red flag for a dysfunctional design. We have no vision for what this is supposed to be, here’s the tools to fix it yourself.surprise surprise he gets it

How pissed would Lehto be considering he personally designed The Silent Cartographer?

>>543993653So they failed

>>543993315>>543993849>I stopped caring about console war shit long ago, I honestly dont even understand any sort of game vs game or platform v platform fanboy cringe fest.Bro.. consoles aren't even consoles anymore. They're just budget AMD PCs running UE5 slopOG Xbox was literally an Intel based PC
>>543992649Legitimately no one cares about Xbox as a console. Anyone with a brain moved to PC if they weren’t in into Xbox’s opposition.
>>543994098Xbox means DirectX (Direct3D) Box. It's always been a PC
>>543994098There's a bunch of people here that bought an Xbone for MCC and H5.I still find that hilarious.
>>543994175that's me!
>>543991086I was thinking the same thing. For once the ADS looks good, I just hope that it using it doesn't reduce bloom.
>>543992862>bunch of people going "lol cry about it!!!" Shocking reminder that most people didn't grow up being super into Bungie's vidocs I guess.God I miss that nerdy behind the scenes stuff.

>he is aware
>>543962994You're a faggot, Keyes is one of the best missions in the game>>543988352The "blightlands" concept art for that Unreal showcase last year (picrel) is probably earmarked for a Library overhaul, idk where else it would fitI'm expecting nu-Library to resemble Quarantine Zone, fighting outside (possibly with vehicles) in those flood lands in the first bit before moving inside to an abbreviated version of the familiar structure for the second half
>>543994358Yeah… sucks that those don’t exist anymore. Bungie and 343 still release “vidocs” but it’s just carefully staged marketing you would receive from any other company now.
>>543994737>You're a faggot, Keyes is one of the best missions in the gameAck that was meant for the guy who called Keyes a bad mission
Why is everything a triangular beam tower
>>543994906Anon it’s shiny. You like shiny! Right!!??
>>543994818I think it's because how mainstream video games are and how little anyone fucking understands how they work. Remember when the GTA VI leak happened so many people were like "wtf it looks like shit!!!! why rockstar do this???". They genuinely think you just put assets into a black box and the final looking game comes out the other side.
>>543995080Adding onto this, for every person like me going "huh that's neat, was curious how that worked." you'll get a Normie McStreamer making a twitter post going "lol looks like shit" and getting 5.9billion likes or whatever. It ain't worth the fucking effort.
>>543995080Yeah I liked in the old Bungie ones how open they were about how everything was a disaster and everything was mismanaged and everything was on fire but they loved their work and were being creative. I understand why this might be a bad move PR wise in the modern era but it was still made for a very interesting window into game development.
So the big Halo remake is just an unreal wrapper over a HEK mod over the Halo CEA wrapper over the wonky PC port of the XBox game? Only reason I am not shocked is because I knew it would be this.
I’m starting to feel like Robert Deniro in Casino with the fucking blueberry muffins over this remake.
>>543995631Yes it’s all that but with no multiplayer.
>>543995631Nah it's Reach era blam with UE5 ontop this time. You can spot a bunch of Reach-ism's in the gameplay trailer.
>>543995697Custom Edition made this fucking game. I would not shill Halo 1 as hard as I do if I never played custom maps.
why does the magnum look like trash
Kkkapitalism is evil and destroys art and culture. Down with *icro$oft and their Blackrock handlers.
>>543994906I'm not sure how they went from this to triangle. Even CEA didn't do that.>>543995857Bad animations mainly. And the model is a bit odd.
>>543995845Name one good custom map.
>>543995857Because it is. Faster reload time, tighter accuracy, higher damage output. Either that demo is recorded on easy mode or every gun does double damage for no fucking reason.
>>543995957That one with the dance hall everyone would grief in. https://youtu.be/ZuFr8Jth-9E?si=ZpyxCEa8L33kzt4y
the humiliation ritual continues
>>543957589Why the fuck is he disintegrating. What cause this affect.
why are they still trying imagine how much money they would have saved if they just gave up after halo 5
>>543996139There's a reason I don't come to this gen at all anymore. Last time I did Halo Infinite was just a single screenshot.
>>543958019Atriox would easily rape that.
>>543996179DLSS.
Halo… it’s finished… again…
>>543968030Could just did Joy.
>>543996179A fuckload of visual artifacts due to stuff like lumen and upscaling.
>>543996736I think it's fitting for the literal MCU insert.
>>543994906>Hey fans! We listened to your feedback about the art style and the visual AIDs that were Infinites hexagon-Minecraft walls and towers, so we decided to get back to halos roots for forerunner architecture! Our sample groups, who are totally 100% representative of the original fan base and are by no means a bunch of LGBT-POC women with disabilities who don’t actually play video games, found that turning everything into a triangle instead of a hexagon is the move to make! Hope you love it and have the $70 to throw down on it during this unannounced and unmitigated recession we are in!>PS: Fuck you!
>>543994906This is the best Halo has ever looked, chud.
>>543996754>>543996327Can you turn that shit off?
>>543937863why couldn’t it have been just halo 1 gameplay…
>>543996872I'm thinking more of Blade Runner Joy.
>>543989093silent cartographer was also the demo for CE back in the day
>sprint>melee lungeI’m tired anons. So tired
>>543996736ESL. Go back to your designated shitting street, Dikshit.
>>543997269I remember we used to play Halo Demo in school, because it had fully functioning multiplayer on blood gulch.
>>543997083Maybe.
>>543997540A lot of people did this.
>>543997540>put it on a bunch of 256mb (or 128mb I don't remember) usb drives and pass it around>library lan party during the breaks
>>543997540So you beat the Halo demo
>>543997083Sometimes. But it will be likely be a "game now runs at 12 fps at native resolution" situation if you turn off DLSS.
>new missions>new dialogueYep... I'm thinkin they're in!
so this is like a side game right guys? they're still working on the main installment to the series right?
>BE SURE TO TUNE IN TO HCS WORLDS FOR OUR STUDIO PROJECT ANNOUNCEMENT!>start with a fucking infinite pvp match that runs over time>all the pages for ce remake go up and everyone knows about it 20 minutes before it's announced on streamFucking incredibly display of competency.
>>543998010Their next game is halo 2 remake (again)(bad) (no multiplayer) (it’s over)
>>543998010The fact it's called Campaign Evolved implies that there is a multiplayer title somewhere in development. Next main game probably won't have singleplayer at all.
>>543998053Who the fuck watches tournaments like this? There’s zero way there’s any money to be made. Is it just riding the wave made by H2/3 competitive still?
>>543998010>thinking this shit won't flop
Halo: Multiplayer Evolved
Hitmarkers are awful. You don't need hitmarkers if you make enemies react to getting shot and bleed alot.
>>543997916So basically we can't make UE5 graphics run well with modern hardware without making it all blurry shit?
>>54399820130+ year old men who did nothing except play halo in high school
Why did Halo Studios do it?
>>543998336Correct. Welcome to modern gaming where everything looks like you have eye problems.
>>543998178>Next main game probably won't have singleplayer at all.Now that's truly the death of Halo.>>543997531no u
>>543998454Curse Mohammad and Vishnu by name.
>>543998251Hit markers are great because you don't have to properly lit the game area. How are you supposed to see your enemies react when you can't see shit?
>>543998010After they screw up this remake they will screw up another new game
>>543998556I won't, I will praise Perkwunos instead.
I wish it was yesterday, that I could wake up and the reveal hadn't happened yet.
>opens trailers and jewtuber videos>look at comments>everyone supporting the game>everyone supporting the artstyle>everyone supporting sprint>everyone mocking antisHave we lost, bros?
>>543998629Great point as well. They're forced to make hitmarkers because you can't see a goddamn thing.I'm coining(?) a new term: Graphicsslop. This game is graphicsslop.
But where does the Endless fit into this?
How is Infinite still priced up after all these years? I remember it used to be that games would be like 20 bucks by now.
>>543998708Look at the trailer view count. That will tell you everything you need to know
>>543998708We lost. We've been losing since 2010 and we'll keep losing for the foreseeable future.
>>543998708343 consumers will say all of those things but the numbers will reflect that it's dogshit like always
The endless is the key to all this
>>543998708Those are the same people that support Infinite.And we know how well that went for 343i.
>>543998708MOVE ON TO GREENER PASTURE CATTLE

>>543998872Yeah, you're right buddy. Halo, it's finished.
>>543999319it has pop in everywhere too

At least it doesn't look as awful as infinite did in the 2020 showing
Why are 343i so adamant at tacking sprint onto every Halo release?
>remake is using AIHahahhahahahhaahh
>>543999946>it's what all modern games have chud you're just 40 go back to doom grandpa(according to every fuckin youtube comment I just read)
They're going to completely botch the atmosphere of the flood reveal aren't they?
>>543999857>20 years oldGross, someone whos first Halo experience would have been MCC or H5.
>>544000083that one is such a bizarre excuse, like how is "sprint is expected by modern audiences" a thing 15 years later
>>543999946...Maybe...they don't know how to? Like, the last time they tried, maybe it broke too much of the game. Kind of like how Donkey Kong 64 shipped with the Expansion Pak because there was a bug that couldn't be fixed unless the Pak was there. This is what happens when no one knows how to use the engine anymore and you keep firing your contractors every 8-12 months and now they're replacing them with AI but even the AI doesn't know how to use the engine very well. Just look at the Warthog, it looks lie it's floating off the ground like the Ghost. Something is off with the rendering process, nothing looks very solid-looking or real in the remake. It's not just sprint that feels out of place.
>>543999946Because other games have it.
>>543999946Maybe sprint in Halo is like their version of the TF2 coconut. Everything explodes if you can't lower your weapon and have white lines woosh on the corners of your screen.
>>544000407
>people complaining about how shiny all the forerunner shit isUh chuds don't you remember this?
>The Target Audience is now zoomers/alphas who started with MCC/Infinite, have never played CE/2 on classic, never owned an Xbox, never had a bungie.net account, never watched a video on the machinima channel, and has no concept of halo without sprintMCC PC was a mistake.
>>544000468What about other games that don't have it?
>>544000694This game sucked, but not because of sprint or lack of sprint.
>>544000694>erm doom isnt halo chud also doom has sprint you can just use your weapon(also jewtube retards)
>>544000625>MCC PC was a mistake.People that bought MCC on PC were not zoomers that never played Halo. They were 99% people that got thrown off xbox after the 360 due to a variety of factors.
why didn't valve add sprint to cs2
>>544000869I'm sure it's comforting to think that.
Regardless of how shit this looks, which is exceedingly shit, it will still sell a billion copies.Nothing will ever be fixed. They will never make a good Halo game.I'm so tired, anons. I am so tired.
>343's first big project was to remaster Halo CE>Released Halo 4, ruining everything we love about Halo>Halo Studio's first big project is to remake Halo CE>Releases Halo ?, ruining everything we love about Halo once moreWhat is their real objective? Are they going to remake Halo 4? Or are we getting Halo 7?
Yes that's right little goyim plug your ears and buy the product
>>544001110>Regardless of how shit this looks, which is exceedingly shit, it will still sell a billion copies.Gonna doubt that one boss. Infinite fucking didn't and that had way more going on as a "return to form" hype and all that shit.And we're also post-Infinite utterly breaking the fanbase.
>>544001279I still can't play Infinite to this day. The main menu takes 15+ minutes to load.
I will be playing CEmake on a gamepass free trial
It's over.
>>543953514yfw he has a cameo which implies he modified the timeline, explaining the differences in the remake
>>543999946It's pure spiteful defiance at this point, the disdain and malice these people have for actual fans shouldn't be discounted.
>>544001198We'll get Halo 7, the start of the "Inheritor Trilogy", but then we'll get an announcement that it's now the "Inheritor Saga" because it's bigger than 3 games.And so on, until we get Halo Campaign Evolved Anniversary and start over again.
>>544001558Don't ever, ever forget.They hate you. They hate this game, they hate that you want to like it, they hate everything about you. They just want your money.
>>544001504I never realized that was an ammo counter lmao
>>544001773I think most of all they really hate living under Bungie's shadow and every fuckup they've pulled is because they're trying really hard to get away from that legacy.
>>543999946Modern FPS consumers expect it. It's essential if they want to appeal to non-boomers
>>544001906They could have avoided all of this, from Halo 4 to now, if they just made their own games as "spiritual successors" to Halo.But instead, they hate you and they hate this game and they went out of their way to make it as miserable as possible while tugging on your fan loyalty to cough up a few bucks.
>>544001906I think 343i were forever fucked the moment they got that "too traditional" feedback from the executives.
>>544002007Yeah, I remember that. The executives were behaving like literal fucking robots, something is seriously wrong over there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrEKpzRCkz0Do we all agree?
>ackshully did you know the sentinels clean all the structures that's why they are all shiny chrome learn the lore chud tourist!
>>544001986No they don't and no it isn't, niggerfaggot
>>544001504Yeah, I feel the same as him. I do sort of know how to proceed, but it would only appeal to me and not viable so whatever.
>>544002890Name 1(one) successful FPS from the last decade which didn't have sprint
Ideally, a Halo CE Remake should have been the original gameplay with near 1:1 remade visuals, restored cut content like the flamethrower and engineer, cut missions, and fixing things that the devs themselves admit were mistakes/hardware limitations like The Library.This would have been better received if it was sold as a DLC campaign for Infinite.
Watching the trailer again, at least they let you carry 4 of each grenade. Thought for sure that would be fucked with because trannies love squealing about GRENADE SPAMMMM. Pistol reserve ammo seems like it only goes up to 84 rounds though, which makes me confident that other weapons - cough cough shotgun - have probably had their max ammo fucked with as well, and will no longer be viable to carry as your bedrock weapon through an entire mission like Keyes or maw
It's fine. Ruby will fix it.

>>544004015ummm if you don't like it unbind the button, chud.
Sprint is objectively good in Halo, it means you can run to a Warthog quicker, you can escape enemies quicker. It makes the gameplay more fun and less frustrating./hg/ is full of contrarian morons who will deny this. Anything to feel like a special snowflake, right?
>>543953349too many syllables
>>544004196i am special thank you for noticing :)
>>544003793"press button to go fast at the cost of not being able to shoot" does not break the gameplay loop of a first person shooter, stop being a boomer
>>544003792Heh
>>544004196I don't care about it, but it's better for the games that were designed around it, not like CE. But then again, they are adding other stuff that was not in the game, like new guns, vehicle boarding, so that will change the gameplay some more, I just wonder how will it feel.

>>543998708>lost this war... ago...>your people are broken, scattered...This was not mere game dialogue - Halo is in as perilous a scenario as the UNSC is at the start of Infinite. Us 3D folk aren't as lucky as the Chief though so who knows if we'll ever win.
>>544002585
>>544001504>>544003272>how to proceedThis is the trickiest part once you have technically skilled staff. Really, no one at 343 had on their resume "lead the creation of a Halo game" (or campaign). Game developers frequently put out half-baked visions or flops despite being paid to think of something good week after week. I was never actually surprised that Halo kept being fumbled, just disappointed because even Ensemble showed you could make a cool Halo experience if you have the right priorities and themes in mind (even if you are stuck making an RTS Halo).I can't say any of my 3 visions for Halo after 3/The Ark events are superior to the trilogy, much less equal to the trilogy Marcus and Marty have alluded to. I can say that 2/3 of those visions are fun and drew on the best of the Bungie era before it (with respect to limited development time).Having a good idea/vision is almost RNG, really. The thing is if you are in the right headspace and properly focused on Halo (not "our 'halo'" or trend-chasing) you are FAR more likely to have a good thing fall into your lap. 343 just keeps getting shafted by being told to focus on how to put non-Halo stuff in the spotlight, rather than being told to make an authentic Halo experience and then just use side-modes and even DLC to toy with more foreign ideas.This is especially sad because Halo has always had silly, weird and off-tone stuff alongside its more solid, structured core. It's like taking your favorite part of a puzzle and trying to force it to be the center of the image instead of keeping it where it rightfully belongs. 343 didn't even take the laziest route of just mimicking what existed and adding a few upgrades and new visuals where needed, they poured tons of effort into massive all-new modes with every installment, while omitting pre-existing, beloved modes for launch day. Why keep abandoning your safety net of features that should be there in case your brand-new ideas don't pan out? It's just wrong.
