Hello, I was just passing by and saw the thread, so I felt the need to comment that ODST was the last good game released in the franchise, and this upcoming Halo remake looks like soulless trash.I do hope you all have a wonderful day, though.
APOLOGIZE
>>544006460if only you knew how bad things really are
>>544006460>ODST>goodr/halo's down the hall buddy
>>544005038>RAAAAHHH>HOLLDEBAHH
>>544006507they could never make me like you
haha I get it it's called unreal engine because it makes your game look unreal haha
>>544006549I'm actually glad I don't fully understand. I was there for the midnight release of Halo 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach (Didn't much care for Reach, but I understand if some people like it). I played the campaign of 4 one time and noped straight out, didn't even touch the multiplayer, and haven't touched the franchise since then except to replay older titles on OG hardware. I also have not played MCC.I feel like I have dodged an absolute hail of bullets. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
>>544006507skulls but otherwise kill yourself
>>544006584ODST was great, but I do fully expect most everyone here to be retarded considering you've stuck with the franchise this long.ODST was a fantastic allegory to the Divine Comedy, and I shan't hear otherwise.
>>544006507
Halo.
>>544006448>movie cutscene additionsmovies don't look like that lmaothis is Bollywood tier
>>544007052>muh divine comedyYou didn't even know it was an allegory or even what the Divine Comedy is until a jewtuber told you a few months ago. Go back.
>>544007052This post gives me deja vu.Someone else on this site (probably somewhere on /v/) said that Story A was an allegory for Story B, which was an allegory, and then he got piled on because people said that stories can't be allegories for allegories. The Cave in The Republic is an allegory, but E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy isn't an allegory for having partially based itself off of The Cave.>>544007326Is that what it is? A few impressionable people watched a video and then started regurgitating nonesense?
>NEW OBJECTIVE: FIND THE COMPUTER ROOM>faithful remake
>>544007264Christ, lay off the fucking noise filter
This is the lowest of the low. The shipment had better be delayed a year like the last one. And they better actually fix it this time.
>>544007426CE had mission objective popups, they just weren't this obtrusive in the UI
>>544007326Anon, I was literally in the bungie.net thread at launch where it was being discussed. The thread was titled something like "Little did you all know you just played an epic poem" and we very quite excited when the devs popped in and confirmed our theory.
>>544007052So? Does "actually the game was based on pretentious twaddle" suddenly make a lazy asset flip sold for full price good?
>>544007052>ODST was a fantastic allegory to the Divine Comedy, and I shan't hear otherwiseIdk about any of that shit but I love ODST because Mombasa Streets is turbokino and the "real" missions pack a whole lot of game into a fairly brief amount of time and ground covered
>>544007395>Is that what it is? A few impressionable people watched a video and then started regurgitating nonesense?Pretty much. Nobody ever mentioned it until a couple of jewtubers all talked about it at the same time. Now no ODSTfag ever shuts the fuck up about how OMG SO DEEP their mediocre expansion pack is. No wonder they cross over with 343 shills so fucking often.
Year 15 of the Halo Century of Humilation......
>>544007594truth bomb
>>544007668>lazy asset flipIt wasn't lazy. It was a well-told story that gave us the perspective of an ODST. And I believe your mind has rotted from overuse of buzzwords like "asset flip" when reusing your own assets is 1) not the same thing; and 2) very common, especially at the time, and for a side project.But I bid you all farewell. Enjoy more slop when this next remake comes out.
>>544007734I wanted operator kino but got "plays exactly the same as master chief and has the cast from nerd shows in the 90's/2000's quipping for 2 hours".
>>544007594That's fine and all, but next time, say that X was a retelling/interpretation/based off of/etc. etc. etc. of Y, not "an allegory for" either a literal allegory (the Divine Comedy) or something that holds no allegorical or didactic/edifying value.
>>544008065You really hate Firefly, huh?
>>544008065>has the cast from nerd shows in the 90's/2000's quipping for 2 hoursOh my fucking lord, don't remind me. Joss Whedon and his consequences...
>>544008235Unknown at this point. I enjoyed it 15 years ago but I am slightly terrified of rewatching it.

>We're adding the pure form.Nice to see they care about the lore. Not like the forerunner books didn't fuck it all up anyway.Also Halo youtubers are more nuanced than the reddits and Twitter are. Most are taking the skeptical stance, unlike redditer where everyone is sucking the ever loving dick over what is history repeating itself with remaking Halo. I'll bet my life savings people will hate all of the Halo Infinite back ported assets when it comes out and it will me the same people Twitter glazing.
>>544008463From what I've seen the only eceleb fags that aren't "OMG LOOK PRETTY WOW!!! HALO STUDIOS COOKED!!!" are ones that didn't get the invitation and studio tour shit.
>>544008562I said Halo fans not kuck chaired Microsoft pseudo-employees.
>>544008359i'm starting to think none of those things are connected
>>544008562>OMG LOOK PRETTY WOW!!! HALO STUDIOS COOKED!!!
>>544008463>Also Halo youtubers are more nuanced than the reddits and Twitter are.Is that so? I only saw HiddenSqueaksperia's videos and he was a little skeptical, but...
>>544007326>what the Divine Comedy iswell they had that National Express hit back in like 1998
>>544008705Act Man more like Takeseller Man.
>>544008705Even you, Act Ma'am...
GOOD MORNING MINTO
>forerunner structures are the shiniest thing in the universe>covenant stuff is just flat purple plasticWhat did they mean by this?
>>544008705act man is like the sub 70 iq jock that's forced to hangout with the nerds
>>544008717Xperia is the only one I'll watch and even then he's onions. He saw the flood scene in Halo 1, baseded, and now his entire vision of Halo is that scene. When he describes an ideal Halo game he just describes Resident Evil 4.
I feel like I am going crazy. I swear to god the pistol scales up and down in the ce remake footage depending on what animation is happening. Like when it's being reloaded or racking the slide it's xboxhueg but then looks dinky and small when in the idle pose.
halo is saved
>>544009075Noticed too. I think the view model is fucked.
>no multiplayer to tide us over until the next real game
>>544009075It's early build work in progress alpha beta indev test version bro, they'll fix it for sure.
>>544005956We need Halo 2 Rebalanced.
>>544009250Any fps can't be balanced when you have a medium to long range relatively accurate rifle.
>>544006273Think the trailer just showcased the game on Easy difficulty. You'd be dead in seconds facing that many enemies on legendary. But in the trailer the guy just walks straight into them without much resistance. I hope they move at their normal speed on the harder modes.
>>544009075The magnum just looks weak af compared to the original. Arguably the most defining aspect of CE's weapons.Side note, why did they go back to the shitty halo 4/5 style HUD? I thought they finally got the art direction pretty well in Infinite and they just undid a big part of it.
>>544009514this isn't the case on infinite thoughhalo has been way too easy since 3v4 took over
>>544009661But 3 is the easiest game in the series?
>>5440097144 is the easiest game.
>>544009714
>>544009125"Well...fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to wait for the next real game; it's called Halo Infinite."
>>544009250This.
Morbidly curious how the covenant ships will look. They weren't great in CEA, The 5 mangled their aesthetic just like it did everything else, the forge stuff that was added to infinite was mostly shiny purple reskins of existing assets.If at least one of the "prequel" missions takes place on a covenant ship then that will at least be... something. The disappearance of purple alien fortresses from Halo confuses and infuriates me.
>>544010716they will be red and grey like shitfdinite
>>544010716Prepare for painted plastic look like the spirit dropship and plasma rifle.
WAIT, HOL UP, SO WHATCHALL SAYING IS WE WAS FORERUNNERZ AND BUILDIN THE HALO RINGS N SHEEEEIIIT?!?!?!?
>>544006584Maybe you could escort him there, anon.
>>544007463That's not a noise filter, that's Lumen with the latest version of DLSS.
>>544012017>please collect your ticket
>>544007673This. I skip the open world sections now because they feel like filler, but the actual missions are basically just more of Halo 3's campaign in the setting I always wanted when Halo 2 was announced. It's kino.
>>544012238
Asmongold says the remake looks good so you're all just a bunch of whinerz
>>544013492Fuck me don't start that shit here too, I already have to deal with the cockroaches fanboys in the wow community.
>>544012623this pic was made by someone who clearly doesn't know when to stop adding detailsshartstation tier
>>544012191>DLSSWhat's the point of that shit if it makes everything look so blurry.
>>544014268>runs at 12 fps native on a 5090That's why.
We can still play the original, is not like is gone forever.
Anniversary ws okish.
>>544015649Everyone on MCC only plays Reach and 4 and Custom Edition players average 80 now. Those glory days just can't come back anymore.
Do they make these remakes bad on purpose so people will have arguments about which version is better and buy all the copies to compare?
>>544015957I agree with you. Glory days was xbox-xbox360 era. Halo4 was a really big blunder.
>>544015983No matter how much I bitch here, I'm buying the game anyway. I'm just too kucked to Halo 1 I can't help myself.
>>544015983well they never made halo 1 and 2 backwards compatible with xbone so probably not
>>544015649How does CEA version of original graphics differs from the original 2001 CE (Gearbox version)?
>>544015649It's not about it being gone or not. It's about the future. They do this big rebranding and reorganization and people hoped for a new direction but they didn't learn a damn thing. I will keep enjoying the 5 good halo games but that won't prevent me from bitching about each new one being a piece of shit made by people that the series.
>>544016328Identical it just runs even worse.
>>544016282Ah but I'm sure they profit more from the MCC and prefer people to buy that than play the original versions. All I'm saying is making dumbfuck decisions like giving the AR a 32 round magazine and fucking with the art direction in all these small and annoying ways seems like maybe a deliberate ploy to not be too faithful and get people arguing about which is better. It's probably what I'd do I guess if I were running a for-profit corporation and selling both the original version of a game and its remake
>>544016396It's so important to emphasize how similar it is to shitfinite and how similar shitfinite is to 5. After playing 5 last week it's clear that they are all the same shit game. It feels so wrong compared to 2, 3 and reach. People who actually care about how the game feels would not work on a game like halo 5. They haven't changed in any axis.
>>544016638oh you're sure are you? well okay. you keep being sure about that.
>>544016638The only company I've seen intentionally make bad products for marketing is dreamworks.
>>544016805Sure about Microsoft profiting more from the MCC than making the original Xbox copies of Halo 1 and 2 backwards compatible with their current consoles?Yes I am actually sure of that.
Why the fuck did they give Elites english voices? Give me my wort wort back.
>>544016686I remember at university someone in my class word for word said "Halo Infinite is just like Halo 3" I don't know where the fuck these people get this shit from? It's just Halo 5 but better. You can debate on how much it's improved but when the fuck did these people grapplehook a banshee in 2007?
>>544016881yeah you keep being sure, like i said
>>544016881Hate to break it to you but no one is spending £15 on a 30fps version of Halo with no XBox live or modding.
>>544017090It's not better than 5. For all the basic gameplay elements like shooting, melee and grenades, 5 kicks shartfinite's candy ass back into bonnie ross's blown out pussy.
>>544017457What exactly do you think I'm trying to say here?
let's be honest halobros. this slop remake was made for two reasons and two reasons only.1) to be sold to sony tards2) to be put on game pass for their quick 'i'll just subscribe for this one month to play it' revenue boostthey quality does not matter in the slightest. it will sell on name alone. sonygros don't know any better and the rest of us are gonna play it anyway through gamepass even though we're mad.
>>544017457weren't backwards compat Xbox games on xbone levelled up to 60fps? i remember the resolution got a HUGE boost and the games were entirely recompiled. never saw any of them have xbox live features though. not even LAN for games like Battlefront 2005.
>>544017734>and the rest of us are gonna play it anywayI haven't played a mainline Halo game since 4.
>>544015649but it is gone. whatever lore and character changes they make in the remake will be the new lore, just as the resident evil remakes completely shat on their established lore.
>>544008705act man's a moron. do you remember his doom dark ages review where he got like 50 things wrong and had to make a follow up video to basically say 'yeah whoops, i'm a retard'.
>>544017734The remake is just to make some cash back on the time they have spent developing tech and a workflow for the Halo Infinite sequel. CEA was a similar project it's why so much of that was done externally. Because you are just altering existing assets you can focus a lot more on management and tech. Gearbox and epic both did these when I contracted for them.
So in terms of "new" content it's just the three missions with Johnson who won't have his classic voice actor? Are they gonna AI him? because otherwise they're gonna have to change Johnson's voice for the classic missions, will there be Arbiter content?
>>544018332It'll be new Arbiter so it won't be good.
>>544018332Arbiter will look like the halo 5 impostor arbiter even though he should have zealot armor during ce's time period
>>544018445new Arbiter? Keith David won't voice him?
We had a great run: odst, wars, 3 and reach.
>>544018523>wars>great
>>544018523I stand by Reach being shit.
>>544017825OG XBox emulation on XBone is a translation layer with some memory patching. The only games that got that 60fps boost was stuff that you could already memory patch to run uncapped on a modded XBox, same with resolution. Halo 1 has a 720P XBE floating about and it's not much effort to ramp that up.
was it just projection all along?
>>544008705reminder this guy also rabidly shilled for fucking starfield
If David Scully isn't voicing Johnson for these three new missions then I don't care.
>>544018931I met Skeletor on this custom game once.
>>544018935And Payday 3 lmao
>>544018332what happened to johnson's voice actor?
>>544018931Maybe...
>>544018523Fuck reach and fuck you, go be Mexican somewhere else
Halo: Campaign Evolved is fine. Just like Halo Reach.
Hit xim with the CQBitch slap
>>544020139The biggest concern is the price. There's just not enough work to justify the asking price of modern games. As long as it is low I think it will do fine. There isn't anything this game is doing that CEA didn't also do.
>>544020565>labor theory of value>tranimethrow like a yeeze, commie pedo faggot
>>544020837Motherfucker you would not buy this shit for $80 dollars.
>>544015649this soulless multiplayer less hack is obviously a shoehorn to introducing the later games slop. who cares when we have the original? talk about this shitshow instead and what it means for the series introducing unwanted modern changes and layering unreal engine 5 slop on top of itthis is the shit that is being shown to playstation owners. its a fucking embarrassment and not what halo stood for. like they are not even upgrading the ai lmao so they dont want to call it combat evolved. there is nothing being evolved here, only devolved
Ok so, if they're bringing in flood pureforms, are we getting live infections?
>>544019495Retired.
>>544021172Snoy people have too much of a thumb up their ass to buy. They did this with Gears and the only person I saw play on PS5 was DSP.
so what portion of xbox's demise can be contributed to 343? even if the console and the other games were shit there was a reason it was called the halo box. people would xbox's just for halo until 343 showed they have a fetish for pooping in the bed.
>>544021930343 shitting the bed is a symptom of xbox being fucking retarded, not the cause. xbox has mishandled every game, every studio, every IP for the last 15 years.
>>544021448No one bought Gears anywhere. It was a complete bomb.>>544021930It was one of the first dominoes along with Kinect and the Xbone reveal.
>>544004770https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTtM1mEob5wHere's your remake.
>>544021094i don't see how this relates to you proceeding with my demands
>>544015735>Anniversary ws okishno cyclefagJust no
>>544022783You could switch graphics and the new graphics are most of the issues with that.
What is this Mandela effect where people are not remembering that a year ago Microsoft announced Halo Campaign Evolved? Everyone is saying "da leaks wee right!". Are they stupid?
>>544022943yeah, regular ce is good and anniversary is shit
>>544022669should've used this high def model for the halo 2 remaster
>>544023165idk h2 and h3 chief look pretty different
>>544023281h2a chief looks completely different from bothi would never have even cared if modders didn't keep putting h2a chief in halo 3
this aged like fine wine. 20 years later and it'll still be up.
people on youtube keep saying it has stuttersbut i genuinely dont see itis it just pcnigger autism?
>>544023018They revealed a tech demo. Not like Campaign Evolved isn't that.
>>544023018There were some people doing some extreme cope with "no this is just a tech demo they're actually working on halo 7!!!!!".
>>544023879this makes me visibly cringe with all my neck and lower jaw muscles tensing up and all my veins poppingi look like one of those masked persians from 300worst part is the creator of this garbage wasn't even trollinghe actually thinks this is an improvementfunny how this mod's popularity fell off a cliff the minute xbox players actually got a pc and tried it
>>544024162you don't see the constant UE5 micro stutters every time the camera moves a little too quickly?
>>544022943Sounds like you've never played real CE
>>544024437It's kino.
>>544024162drop the race shit if you want to be taken seriously
>>544024520My favourite was in one of the gameplay videos where they ran outside from inside the first structure towards the warthog and it just has a massive stutter
>>544024520i really dont know what im meant to be seeing>>544024628pnigger go back to r/halocirclejerk

>>544024752If SPV3 is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
terminated post above
SPV3 was one of the biggest winners yesterday
>>544024895This is the reason the modding community is moribund and has been since 2009 btw
>>544004909Sometimes I think about a world where people who have an unbalanced, overly positive view of Abilities and 343 wake up with amnesia exclusively about all things HaloSome things only get better when those who enjoy being careless with it are rendered practically powerless and in some cases it leaves them with a mind that later on can finally realize what they were taking for granted
>>544024859pniggers are the ones who started playing halo 5 years ago
By the way, that guy plays on PC.
>>544025038i'm sorry that you felt like you had to buy an xbox one
>>544024965>SPV3 out of nowhereIt's still shit and will always be shit.
>>544024951Forced
>>543954250You're obsessed over something that isn't a problem. Simple as.This game is coming out with GTA6 and Modern Warfare 4. This game isn't going to cement any kind of legacy. Communities like /hg/ are ironically going to be the only ones talking about it for more than 2 weeks, and we will be mostly shitting on it.
>>544005038
>>544025038Ok lil schiz
>>544025171It's just the Eurospammer. He'll go back to Battlefield soon.
>the "well he's a super soldier of course he can sprint!!! in the books he runs!!!" arguments are back Why can't I prone? Or lean? Or take cover?They do that in the books.

>>544025418I think you've mistaken this place for Reddit. Do with that information what you will.
>>544025587Honestly that's a good thing.A lot of people were worried about "a new generation of fans playing this as their first halo" but thankfully that's not really going to happen.MCC will have a bigger population weeks after launch.
>>544025652>reddit put of nowherego back
The Eurospammer being a Redditor is the least surprising thing ever.
>>544025348are you still pretending terminator isn't halo because some guy hurt your feefees? weird
Awfully suspicious that they show only The Silent Cartographer, not even one crumb of any other mission...
There was a MAJOR Halo Announcement at the Final HCS World Championship in Seattle, Washington YESTERDAY!What was it? Well, we don't know all the details, outside of knowing that it's a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved with more info to come. One thing's for sure though, it certainly was something BIG.Strap in. We made it!
>>544026160Not really. Silent Cartographer was the first CE mission from a development standpoint. It's actually smart to start from there.
>>544025952wait, who's the eurospammer? it seems to be multiple different people noware you okay?
>>544026169kekstfu
>>544026160eh, not really. It was just a reveal showcase.There will be more vids later.Also keep in mind that the build is early. This isn't me damage controlling or saying it will be great, but it was clearly stuttering all over the place with glitches and issues. I wouldn't be surprised if that gameplay was the best out of like 20 attempts to get a clean playthrough, and it still had issues.I also have a theory that TSC is probably the most faithful mission level-design wise.I expect the second half of the campaign to be more significantly different, especially the Library.AOCTR will be a lot different too probably.
>>544026362Go back whence you came, Redditor.
>>544026169I kekd
>>544015983>we hired people who we knew hated HaloHyperbole aside (from the hirer's POV) history is fully of people who get into positions where they can mess with something an intentionally do so, either by pushing for an action or supporting it in some manner. There's an unfortunate amount of misplaced ego involved despite the fact that so many of these people have a job in game development at the moment due to a series created by other people (they'd be in lower paying jobs or unemployed right now otherwise).It's incredibly short-sighted, especially on the part of executives weighing down the actual game developers with terrible mandates and wrong priorities. All they ever had to since 4 began development was make Halo to the best of your ability (which Ensemble set a great example in doing despite all the factors working against them) and then use some of that money to create another series, either after or on the side, that was free to be very different from Halo. There's more than 1 way to make a super-soldier game. We could've had it all.
>>544026506i still don't get itis it gab? probably gab
>https://youtu.be/RVKWxr2pr0U>reusing halo 5 first person animationsI fucking knew it.
>>544018286
>>544026797Eh... I'd like confirmation. Some of it looks similar but not necessarily 1:1That video doesn't really prove anything
>>544026797are you gonna post a comparison video at least, or any evidence besides "it looks similar"?
>>544026462What I'm trying to say is that I don't think they have anything but B30 right now. Kinda like E3 2003.>I expect the second half of the campaign to be more significantly different, especially the Library.>AOCTR will be a lot different too probably.God I hope so. I was playing AOTCR yesterday and those nine (?) repeated rooms is just ridiculous. To say nothing of the Library of course.
>>544026462the stuttering was because it was on a series X.NOBODY in their right mind should buy this thing on console.
>>544027162i'm gonna end up buying it twice because i'll be playing it on PC bur I'll need a steelbook for my collection.
>>544027016No because I am too lazy to edit something like that together. But flick between ce remake campaign ar and pistol reloads, and the halo 5 ones (the classic magnum specifically).
>>544026169God Speed to that guy for going for like a 3rd of a year with those posts
why is nobody online talking about the very real possibility that they charge full AAA price for this
>>544027464because no one's buying it
>>544027464I'm not poor and i'm a halo fan so that's no issue to me.But putting that aside, it's actually a good thing that it will cost full price, because that will go a long way to keeping new players from playing it as their first halo.This shit is gonna flop on PS5 hard, just like Gears. Sandwiched between GTA6 and MW4? With no multiplayer? And keep in mind about half of Playstation owners don't even have a PS5 yet. They're making the jump next year because they ahve to for those other games, they are NOT picking this up after spending $600
>>544027464Foregone conclusions? Some expect it. Some think it obviously won't be. Some will just -ahoy!-

>>544027870well if there are less illegals to steal their social security numbers they have more cash to throw around
i was really hoping they'd improve infinite's performance in the 4 years it's been since release but i guess not
>>544008705Nobody who paid to be at that shitty event is going to say a bad word about Halo while they are there.
>>544028152I have no sympathy for poorfag PC players.If you're playing on PC and you're an adult you should be going big. Gaming is not an expensive hobby at the end of the day compared to most others. I make $60k a year and have a 5080 with gigabit internet. Learn to budget, learn to cook, etc.

>>544028371It's UE5. It's running like shit even on my 4080

>>544028617You won't.
>>544015649>but you can just play the original
ticonderoga's jammer
>>544028703I intentionally avoided the 5090 because of the burning errors. If the 5090 super has no problems i'll upgrade in a year or so.Maybe Team Red will put out something that can actually pathtrace comparatively by then too and I'll consider that.
>>544028734fair enough, like I said I'll post either way if i'm eating shit.>>544028768no I really will. <3
>>544028834I was going to have a go at you but yeah, fair especially early on when no one knew wtf was up with the potentially legit fire hazard 5090's.I'll be keeping my 4090 for dunno how many years. Probably another 5 at the rate tech moves these days.
>>544028818epic referencewell memed, my friend
>>544029090The 4090 is such a good card. My friend has one and calls it his second child.I'm jealous that in theory peolle got them at msrp at one point.
>new AAA games take 10 thousand years and 100 billion dollars to develop so it's just endless remakes and rereleases nowTruly a sustainable practice.
>>544026462>Also keep in mind that the build is early.It's set for release in 2026, unless they mean the end of the year, they've got way more work ahead of them for it to look remotely good
>>544029532
>>544028371>he thinks it won't run like fucking dogshit on high end PCs as well
I really hope this gets delayed.
>>544029345I still got pretty fucked for mine (bought about 5 months after launch), but it was like. I either pay up or just don't get it.I'm Australian and just downgrading into a 4080 was still "I am spending a significant amount of money for a computer" territory so I went whatever just commit to the high end.
No, don't delay it. Let it crash and burn.
delay the shipment!
no way 343 will have a sixth flop in a row
>>544029967I predict November 15th 2026 and in that case it'd have about a year to improve, much like Infinite had an extra year after its gameplay(?) reveal.
>>544030150>does he know
The Shipment is on its way to stores. With an army of pure forms...
>>544028617Anon, this game is a quintuple whammy of 343tards, AI, jeet programmers, ancient blam spaghetti code, and Unreal Slop Engine 5. It's going to be a complete disaster.
My Thoughts now that I've slept on it:>The Good- I'm genuinely excited to play 4-player Co-Op- Looking forward to the new weapons- I like the use of old audio cues. On some level it is clear they tried to reference the original hame- Multiplat release is only a good thing these days imo- Music sounds good. A lot of it even sounds original>The Bad- Sound Effects sound terrible. Maybe that can be reworked before release, but those guns are pathetic- Abundant performance issues everywhere- Unnecessary changes that triggered me, like the "magnum" or ADS on everything- Sprinting (only listed in "bad" and not "ugly" because it can be turned off)- Jen and Steve sound old. It's understandable but still noticeable>The Ugly- Whoever the guy was in here that spent a year warning about Unreal 5 looking like smeared vaseline everywhere, take a victory lap. The entire visual design looks rediculous. H2A cutscenes are neat but they don't look like CE.- You're really not even going to include the original game for newer fans, even after beating it or whatever? Maybe I'm old but this used to be a regular thing with remakes and it' not like CE takes up a lot of space- The fact that CEA has been criticized for using Reach assets for YEARS and they literally are using Infinite assets here feels like the biggest middle finger- Where's my fucking blood, Halo Studios?- It's like they're putting it out there to die, because holiday 2026 is a kill box for something like thisIn general this feels like what we should have gotten back when CEA was announced. Now it just feels completely unnecessary? How hard is it to just put a dedicated team on MCC, add more mod support, and put that on PS5? I am admittedly interested to see how much of the level design they change in other missions. I'm kind of hoping they do, especially in the second half of the game. I'm a library hater but I expect the Library to play better. So there's potential, but i'm not getting my hope up.
delay that shipment indefinitelyshit looks like a halo infinite forge map ffs
>>544030525>343tards, AI, jeet programmers, ancient blam spaghetti code, and Unreal Slop Engine 5By our powers combined
>>544030568what about all the bollywood camera angles?
>>544030568>the original hameOh hello there Señor ESL.
Next year is legit the worst time year to release something like this. Even if it was a "10/10, game even came with a real Cortana that gave me head" situation it is going to be so fucking forgotten.
Who's the audience for this? Did the market research say people hate how OG Halo CE plays?
>>544024547Unless I switch between XBox and MCC I don't notice how much faster CEA is. I mostly played Halo PC.
>>544030953>newfag thinks esl and minor spelling mistake are the samemany such cases

ESLception. Who's the real ESL? How deep does this go?
>>544031690it's not autism, you are right to hate everything they do
>>544031690yeah its weird that it's a new plama model but still looks nothing like CE's
>>544031323I'm a BST actually. My first language was Whoop ass.
>>544031973It's literally the Reach design kek, 343 industries moment
>>544031973It's just CEA again.
>>544030568Honestly four player co-op here sounds like the only real reason to get this game, the idea of playing through a remixed CE with 4 bros and not knowing what twists are going to be thrown in sounds cool. Just not 70$ kind of cool, if this was like 30 bucks then I'd absolutely buy
>>544031437>Flood stopped"Resignation is my virtue, like water I ebb and flow. Defeat is simply the addition of time to a sentence I never deserved, but you imposed."
>>544031767Both of them are ESLs, but it doesn't really matter.
I'm sure I'll play it one day in the far future but even if it doesn't make enough change by launch to warrant a purchase at least it'll be some alright eyecandy
>>544031973Reach design. We will be stuck with the wedge... iron sight? thing on the top for all time.
>>544032336>BothFool, there's a third troll in play
>people thought it was going to be good
>remake original games from the ground up >behind closed doors the new game will act as a new narrative starting point for the series that synergizes with 343 Halo, allowing them to creatively abandon Bungie Halo and pretend they've had complete creative control the entire timeFor a series that runs on familiarity and nostalgia this seems like a good way to lose fans
>>544032231Between the way Monitors/Halos are prone to error leading to a situation like Delta, all the Covenant ships that didn't make it to Earth and fled from High Charity due to the Schism and Gravemind, as well as Earth having many places to hide Flood like that giant Forerunner structure, I always felt Chief's "It's finished" carried a different tone from Cortana's in that he was prepared for it to just be "for now".Plus at this point Marcus and Marty have both alluded to plot beyond the Ark (whether after H3 or the intended H2 plot he didn't say) that would require more time to tell the story than just 2 more average length Halo campaigns could handle, however, just like some of those past builds and storyboards neither are at liberty to fully disclose those plans just yet.
>>544032737The old fans don't matter.
>>544032737>this seems like a good way to lose fansIt's what they do best

im not crazy and this is a ripoff like 1:1 of Narrows right
>>544034272It's a larger Narrows with extra bits.
with halo coming to playstation with new games does that mean a 2 and 3 remake are coming?
PredictionThey're going to announce Halo: Infinite multiplayer is going multiplat, and it will be accessible via the Halo: Campaign Evolved UI
>>544034487Eventually? Sure. Within the next 10 years? Probably not.
>>544034487Probably? But you are assuming the series doesn't just finally get taken out back and shot after this bombs.
>>544008463Pure Forms appearing in CE is the opposite of caring about the lore. Pure Forms only appear during the coordinated stage of a Flood outbreak—once a Gravemind has been built big enough to mass produce them. The outbreak in CE is the feral stage when they’re trying to build a Gravemind. This was established in the Halo 3 bestiarum, 2011 visual guide, the 2009 encyclopedia, and the 2011 encyclopedia. This is the opposite of them caring, but is totally in line with their usual approach (who cares, our fans are retarded and think we care about the lore because our fiction is bloated, directionless and confusing).
>>544036106Even said in Halo 3 that the Flood have evolved too during Floodgate shortly before you encounter the pureforms.
>>544034487It'd be interesting if they went with the intended Halo 2 storyboards and then the post-Ark plot that Marcus has mentioned. Doubtless they would put their own "spin" on it. It's not so much a want as a fascination to think about.
/hg/ has been broken
>>544036954They're obviously going to erase humans being forerunners in its entirety with this and any future remakes.
100%
>>544037495I'm so curious to see if those 343GS lines remain.They'll probably make him flash red during them to show he is "oh no he's just CRAZY" because that's the least effort.
>>544038295They've re-recorded all the lines, and I bet you anything that this is why.
>>544037495>>544038295Oh.

>>544039001
>>544038003>block the WarthogOne one hand Anniversary had a "scan" mode which could've been brought back as a little "tactical options" display to hint at little strategies OR some Mjolnir text OR Cortana lines could've done this. After all, are they just going to adjust the terrain for every vehicle blocker? Technically possible I suppose.On the other hand I get wanting to "keep the fun going" by not blocking people, especially with how often people will have to get used to different shooting mechanics and still be doing so as of their first encounter with Hunters. Basically keep their morale higher than if they had to do some thinking/the intended thing of abandoning the Warthog for a bit. Let them jog their noggin' about getting around vehicle blocks in a new campaign after they're already fairly interested in Halo due to the CE remake. BUT I still think showing them a workaround is possible is even better than just clearing a path.For me, back in 2009, I ended up thinking after my first run at the area: I know Elites will ambush me. What if I got 2 Warthogs and 2 Marines into this place for an NPC fight? Still, it's likely that just adjusting the terrain was quicker to do than any vocal/text/UI bit hinting at mechanics. It's undeniably a shame that Halo has fallen so low that such measures have to be taken at all.
I FUCKING LOVE INDIA
>>544039001That truly the final model for Evolved?

>>544034487They probably wanna. I heard a rumour to that effect. But the flop will kill it as dead as Infinite's 10 year plan
Why are people claiming that there's been several remakes of CE already? Do they count the PC port and MCC as different games?
>>544040217better but the real problem with the post reach art styles are the materialsit should have the texture of a cast hull but instead it looks like enamel paint

>>544039845They'll just redo the Halo CE cover art pose, but they'll remove the assault rifle, like they did with some of the Halo Infinite marketing material.

HALO HATER
>>544044251What the fuck even
>>544045305nah, that's a based takeThe parts of the game where they should be deviating from the og level design are places particularly like that where the asset reuse is just ad nauseum.AOTCR, Library, and the second half the game in general are other examples.343GS might be the only exception because I think the labyrinth of rooms looking similar plays into the frenzy of what is happening, but even then I wouldn't be mad if they changed it up a bit.W take from Baza
>>544045305What am I looking at
>>544042863>>544043929There was Gearbox's PC port of Halo CE, then Combat Evolved Anniversary (and again in The Master Chief Collection), now this Campaign Evolved.If you want to take it even further, Halo 4 and Halo Infinite can be seen as remakes of Halo Combat Evolved. There are many narrative repeats, starting out on a ship, crash landing on an unknown Forerunner construct, the Covenant start out as a main antagonists, but a new threat appears later (Flood/Prometheans/Endless?). Halo 4 and Halo Infinite were deliberately designed by 343 Industries to evoke the feeling of playing Halo Combat Evolved's campaign again.Really all they keep doing is rehashing Halo CE over and over.
You could say that....it is and endless cycle...looping....repeating itself....
UE5 is going to kill Halo and I need to stop them before it happens
baza was raped
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. When you can just smash the crates out of the way it wrecks the encounters.But the worst part? They put trees in the landing area of the WooHoo Jump. Lame.@game_fabricatorWhat have they done to beloved B30?!>“Keep getting them checks.” 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. Bad situation unless you are getting paid $$$.https://x.com/32nds/status/1981927318752039135>“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….

>>544048879they make another one in 15 years
>>544048879hopefully MS finally puts 343 and the franchise out of their misery
I just realized that Halo Studios first game is the same game 343 industries made as their first game. Are they redoing and correcting the mistakes of the past? Is halo 4 next, a remastered fixed version. Imagine the MCC done right. Halo is so back.

For classic Halo CE, Original Xbox using Dolby ProLogic II is best.>Halo Xbox (use this if you're playing on original hardware)http://vaporeon.io/hosted/halo/original_files/xbox/halo_01.10.12.2276.7zI guess with CE on PC, it's currently this:- MCC CEA: Best graphics by far AND you can buy it, but the sound is broken, multiplayer has some pretty major issues in its core gameplay, and the classic controls are sluggish on controller and don't match the original controls at all- Map geometry in Halo PC and MCC is still based on the Gearbox version. Sidewinder's teleporters are two-way, Hang Em High doesn't have a lip on the pit, and you can't jump through the windows on Creek.- Halo Custom Edition: The graphics are completely and utterly fucked, the netcode is trash, and there's no analog movement in multiplayer, but you get modding support, server lists, dedicated servers, and *full* custom map support, and besides the crappy netcode and lack of analog movement, the multiplayer at least works the same as it did originally>Halo Custom Edition>Product Key: MHJYD-HCYX4-VC8TD-J32X8-7KD4Bhttp://vaporeon.io/hosted/halo/original_files/halocesetup_en_1.00.exe>1.10 Patch (extract to the installation folder)http://vaporeon.io/hosted/halo/original_files/update_loose_files/haloce-patch-1.0.10.7z>CEnshine will fix things like bump map (extract to the installation folder)https://github.com/Sledmine/censhine>Chimera is the update to Halo PC that we should have had but never got (extract to the installation folder)https://github.com/SnowyMouse/chimera>Refined maps that are 1:1 with the Xbox version as possible (extract to "maps" folder)http://vaporeon.io/hosted/halo/refined/halo_refined_custom_edition_en_v3rc2.7z>Halo 2 Project Cartographerhttps://www.h2maps.net/Cartographer/Installer/h2pc_installer_2.1.zip

>>544053164It’s so stupid that they decided for 3 prequel levels when they could have done what the Metroid Zero remake did and do a surprise extra epilogue mission. First strike is literally right there if they wanted to included Brutes.

I remember Lag chewing him out and him getting banned from the test forum by Kornman for being a sperg too.>I think what pushed me over to the point of no return is seeing someone like rejectedshotgun getting heralded as "the most talented and best halo modder" by the halo fanbase and how most people just want flyable longswords, pelicans, ect.Right? We've been doing that literally since day one in Custom Edition, and it wasn't too special then.> It triggered the "I can spend legit a thousand hours laboring on this campaign mission set and no one will fucking care.", which is just a death sentence for motivation.Yup... I know that feel... so fucking tired...

>>544054754the guys from halo wars, I think
If you haven't read the Fall of Reach then you're a fake Halo fan. All Nylund books are OG canon
>>544054521Masterz pushed a really bad test build of TSC. It was basically the same as SPV3 is today. Everyone said it was shit. Masterz was like "y-y-y-you're just wrong, okay?!". Lag wrote a multi-post response dissecting it, going into truly extreme detail, encounter by encounter, mocking him for saying legendary is the perfect bestest way to play the mod. Pointing out that all you really need is DMR, magnum and gravity grenades. Like modern SPV3. Masterz did the "you're just wrong" thing again.As for Kornman banning him, he was sperging out at people for not seeing his genius, and also setup the opensauce cache files in a no-no way or some shit. Something about not compiling them for test builds of efficiency sake? Kornman said no more tech support for you and then he was banned for a bit.(If any other testers from that era are lurking here, please, pitch in if I missed details or misremembered, it was kino!)

>>544056682Do you consider Halsey's journal that came with the collector editions of Halo Reach to be canon?
This whole Johnson situation is still unknown to me in terms of voice, like David Scully is obviously not coming back to do new lines but clearly these three new missions will have Johnson speaking new lines so either they will have to get a voice actor as close to David as possible or they're going to use AI?
>>544055269What exactly was the goal of SPV1, SPV2 and SPV3?
>>544055924>It's more faithful than CEABait, or retarded? Call it.
>>544057110What even happened to David Scully?
>>544057110>AI?Take a fucking guess.
>>544056995I've always considered the books and the games as two separate but complimentary canons. I'd wager that's true for most OG halo fans. Bungie were dorks but they also knew to adhere to the rule of cool. The story was always a mile wide but an inch deep.The games were always the source material, not the books. It was really funny when Reach completely shat on the books and made faggots seethe.
The journal itself is in the game
>>544057709AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII
>>544056564I'm a little tired of pretending the "objective" position is relentless negativity.Objectively speaking, it *is* visually impressive on some base level.It *does* look better, visually, than the CEA remaster.
>>544057278SPV1 was before my time in CMT and I ran the fuck away from any offers to come help with SPV3.But SPV2 was like, trying to be the biggest and best Halo campaign in terms of content and features. You know, like "SPV2: The Definitive Halo experience" sort of thing. Anything from 2 and 3 that can be stuck into 1's engine? Put that in.Naturally it being lead by a narcissist who couldn't be told anything and feature creeping to an insane degree lead to it just collapsing.I genuinely wish I knew why any of us put up with him. Something about CMT being seen as prestigious and a serious modding team I guess?

How does "Halo Studios" not have anyone that gives a shit about Halo? I almost can't believe how bad this looks but I've seen what they've been doing since 4, just one of the most retarded companies in the entire industry.
>>544059116I think they clearly do give a shitThey're just somewhat unskilled

>>544059210No, look at the interview where they say being faithful was very important and that certain crates were sacred and could not be moved, then look at the gameplay demo at all the non-faithful changes. They're downright malicious.
>All they had to do was make it look like this but we got "Intern's First UE5 Slop Project" instead343/Halo Studios needs to die
>>544059450If they were "downright malicious" they wouldn't be making a game at all. They'd be distributing Anthrax or some shit

I've always hated this scene. There's no atmosphere that high above the ring so why is there re-entry plasma?

>>544059116>>544059210Infinite (campaign only) was an honest attempt at a Halo game, or at least wasn't openly hostile to the idea of being one, unlike it's two predecessors
I sincerely don't think they're trying to make a bad remake as much as they're just unskilled at their chosen profession compared to Bungie. This is the entertainment industry.The very idea of a remake is generally an unskillful idea. Easier to re-tread safe and sure ground than try to blaze a new trail or build something new. This doesn't make "Campaign Evolved" any better than it is, and it *does* suck in many subtle ways, but I don't have it in me to hate it so strongly.
>>544060090>2025>Matchmaking mentionedI wasn't ready for this nostalgia
>>544060593Why is there sound is space?
I’m surprised that I haven’t really seen anyone mention how all they’ve shown is from the Silent Cartographer. The main trailer they released feels like something they would show a month before the game came out. You would think that a reveal like this would show a sizzle reel of scenes from the game like the opening cutscene or the first level. It really seems like all they’ve completed so far is the Silent Cartographer.
>>544061235that's because this game is getting delayed lolescreencap this post
>>544060974For cinematic effect.The basic premise of the scene is not the problem, it's the direction. The pods shouldn't be so high above the ring. The atmosphere can only go as high as the 20km tall walls around the edge of the ring.
>>544060653>no level selector>bullet sponge boss fights>ubisoft collectathon>somehow this is more halo than 4 and 5you have decided that this is the case without verifying it with empirical evidence. that's called fantasizing. you are self sabotaging. the question is why do you prefer fantasy to reality? talk to someone close to you about it.
>>544061235They probably are smelling their own farts thinking they are being cute following Bungie showing nothing but TSC since that was basically the test map for CE.
>>544061510>somehow this is more halo than 4 and 5This but unironically.

>>544061235I'd imagine development time with UE5 is extremely accelerated due to it being fast/easy. the maps are probably the easiest to remake since they can just import the geometry and do some texture and material swaps.it sounds like they're working off a lot of halo reach and halo 5 code anyways. I'd imagine the worst part is just trying to refactor existing code, and in many ways, rebuilding from the ground up would have been better.

>>544063448that was cancelled years ago, where have you been?they're working on their own ip now
>>544063729There's 3 Halo projects in the pipeline and CA is still working on one of them
>>544060697343 didn't work on CEA. They outsourced it.343 outsourced CEA and H2A to Saber Interactive for FREE using the inferior PC ports as the base and Sean Cooper spent 5 years fixing the broken ports343 outsourced terminals in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary to Sequence343 outsourced Reach DLC maps (Defiant Map Pack/Anniversary Map Pack) and Halo 4 DLC maps to Max Hoberman and Certain Affinity (multiplayer, online, and UX design lead for Halo 2 and Halo 3)Halo 4 campaign just feels half-baked. It has sections that feel empty, lacking content. Removed point scoring. As a result, the timer was also removed(used for speed runs). You can't view the campaign terminals ingame; you must go to waypoint. Forge Island gives us ten times less budget than Forge World. Removed Race, Territories, Stockpile, Headhunter, and Juggernaut. “Infinity” gametypes include instant respawn, perk packages and customized loadouts (COD). "Legendary" gametypes fixed this.Halo 4 and part of Halo 5 are the only game 343i actually put together themselves with their in house studio, MCC and especially infinite has been nothing but wrangling contractors and contract studios. Infinite has something like 5 confirmed studios that worked on it. That is why their dev cycle takes so long and fucks shit up constantly(besides the technical debt). 343 is just an umbrella studio that directors other contract studios into making broken messes of games. Its why everything except Halo 4 is a broken retarded mess because Halo 4 was the only 343i title actually done in house and not through 20 corporate suit games of telephone and Zoom meetingsMCC was outsourcedhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpklokblI006QYtGlxUeds747lPZD_JSph56qLJqzhwCampaign Evolved will be outsourced
>>544064129narcissism
>>544064129Wasn't one of the support studies for Infinite based in Russia that got cancelled due to the Ukraine invasion which was the reason for the content draught or am I misremembering? Covid also fucked up the development big time along with MS contract bullshit for developers

>>544059450>being faithful was very important and that certain crates were sacred and could not be movedYour comprehension is actually brainrot levels of fucked if that's what you think they meant. They were saying that the changes they made to Campaign Evolved are authentic and anybody who thinks otherwise would complain about minor changes like a crate being slightly moved.
>>544069340>less red hueWhy?
>>544069493>They were saying that the changes they made to Campaign Evolved are authenticThe MA5B is something fans of CE would consider sacred, no sprint is something fans of CE would consider sacred, and so on. Yet they changed these things, meaning that what they said about being faithful was a lie.
>>544059938>firstthey don't know what to do >secondkino
Why do consoomers have no standards?
>>544069675I agree with you. They clearly have no idea what makes Halo tick and what authenticity is.
>>544069504I was mostly trying to bring up the green and a bit of blue. Not a fan of the trees or rocks but this is the limit of my editing skills.
>>544069504the real red pill truth is that /hg/ doesn't actually know what a good halo game would look like eitherThat the complaints are legitimate against 343i is just by chance and 343's incompetence, they would complain regardless
>>544069847standards are relativeregardless, this game isn't going to sell well so it's not worth fretting over the few that do buy it
>Connection problems during the biggest competition of your gameMan. If you could set up local network matches, you wouldn't have this problem. Why do you need to be online for a LAN tournament.
>>544069847Consoomers do have standards which is why Halo has flopped for the last 15 years, talking heads on Twitter and Reddit will say they love it but then not even buy or play the game. It's the most bizarre phenomenon.
>>544069906You say that like you aren't part of /hg/. Your comment alone already contradicts what you're trying to say.
>>544069906They are plenty of legitimate graphics and art style related complaints ITT. You're just being a faggot.
>>544070149>You say that like you aren't part of /hg/.Did I imply I would do better?>Your comment alone already contradicts what you're trying to say.How? Where did I suggest I would be an exception to the rule? The only difference is I'm willing to admit it.
People say>Halo was a product of its era, you couldn't make a Halo 3-like game and have it be successful todayIgnoring the fact that thousands of people go back to play it on MCC regularly, way more than anyone plays the modern games. Halo 3 aged super well, people still love playing it, you just need to go back to basics and make a fun game again.
>>544070268>They are plenty of legitimate graphics and art style related complaints ITTComplaints, yesBut the idea that /hg/ would do better is laughable
>>544070336>Halo was a product of its era, you couldn't make a Halo 3-like game and have it be successful todaycorrect>Ignoring the fact that thousands of people go back to play it on MCC regularlyyes, thousands, as in a few thousand, that's nothing to Brady about fucking lmao
>>544070446It is actually. It's nearly 20 years old, there isn't any other game from its era with that much life in it. That's all you need to know to understand the gameplay mechanics have stood the test of time. The people have clearly spoken and they want that and not the new slop.

I may not agree with all of you, but at least I'm zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
>>544071143Halo might get better in 20 years. The current management at Microsoft, MGS and Halo Studios is completely clueless and they would need to retire before things can go the right way.
>>544071329Yep, it's not just Halo Studios. Microsoft has been shooting itself in the foot. I can't even say their moves are at least beneficial to their investors because they're not winning on that front either. I legit want to know wtf is going on in their company? At this point, Xbox has to be a laundering company for personal gain for a select few Microsoft officials. That's the only logical thing I can think of.
>>544039001>>544039190>looks worse than Lehto's model
Personally I tend to take this sort of like ... easy going egalitarian view of HaloBy that I mean that I don't care about being appealed to directlyBut maybe they should actually try to appeal to me, personally, instead of making "Halo for everybody"

And a better weapon sandbox, better features like 4 player crossplay co-op, new vehicles to hijack, new missions and better pacing for the copy and paste corridors in some old levels is a lot of changes for any remake, you anime avatar faggot.

It’s official. This is the last ever halo game. We’ve cum full circle.
You'd think by now Halo Studios would've tried modern Doom's take on sprint, which is basically giving the player's ability to run, but you still keep your weapon up solution. Would be fun to see how many pro-sprinters actually cared about Halo evolving, or if they're just being shills for the sake of being annoying.

How long until masterz spergs out https://www.resetera.com/threads/halo-ce-spv3-remake-vs-halo-campaign-evolved-remake.1335013/
>>544080690>Miranda and Cortana both got rapedWtf I love Halo studios (formerly 343) now.
>>544073645not just killed but also raped
>>544082434>Would be fun to see how many pro-sprinters actually cared about Halo evolving, or if they're just being shills for the sake of being annoying.You know DAMN well it's the latter for these shills in reddit and 343-safe space sites. Having said that, the silent majority couldn't care less if there's sprint or not, they just care if it's good/fun. And how long will that fun last before they move on to the next game.
>>544083329>the silent majority couldn't care less if there's sprint or not, they just care if it's good/funI mean, the franchise started losing players when it added sprint, so...
>>544083665There are other things that 343 did to Halo besides the base formula that would entice those people to leave the franchise, but I'm not gonna get into that. The point is, let the actions do all the talking.
>>544075371allegedly it's going to be $40 or $50
>>544083949Whoever told you that is retarded
>>544082494he is becoming one of us
You know have 100 billion dollars. Assuming Microsoft lets you buy the franchise, what's your first move?I'd use the leftover money to lobby Congress :3
>>544084081proof?
>none of the reveal vids have cracked 1M viewsLmao this is truly a dead boomer franchise. Sad.
>>544084709Microsoft is demanding 30% increased revenue out of the Xbox department, as evidenced by the increase in price for Gamepass, as 343i is part of the Xbox department, there is no way in hell they're charging anything less than $60 for Campaign Evolved.
>>544084808I hope it flops like the Gears Reloaded
>>544084808That's truly grim, holy shit.
>>544084808lmaoooooooooooooooooo
>>544085026ok
>>544084808AAAAAIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!
>>544084808I wonder how an hypothetical MCC on Playstation and Nintendo would have been received instead.
How do I get into a Microsoft meeting? I want to ask them what the fuck they're doing? Not about Halo, fuck that. What are they doing with Xbox?
>>544085375I would want that only if they decided to go back to updating MCC.
>>544085419What are they doing in general? Even Windows is tanking harder than usual.
>>544084808Bruh. Halo going on playstation would have shattered the fucking internet years ago. Now no one cares.Grim shit.

THIS WILL BE THE VERSION OF HALO CE THAT MOST NEWCOMERS GOING FORWARD ARE EXPOSED TO FOREVER!"are being retarded.This shit is going to bomb hard, especially on PS5. 10 years on most will still be experiencing CE for the first time through CEA, which is still a bit of a problem, but this game is not going to make any cultural splash at all. It's fucking launching with no multiplayer between GRA6 and Modern 4fare, which people will be starved for after 2 years of Treyarch American Dad slop.Quite literally the only places where this game will be discussed months onward are in communities like this where we just make fun of it.>>544085375>I wonder how an hypothetical MCC on Playstation and Nintendo would have been received instead.Considerably better, especially because that would likely come with the addition of more MCC support.
>>544085890I guess at least that is some good news
>>544085580That's what I want to know too. They've made NOTHING but incompetent decisions over and over again in recent years. What the fuck are they doing??????
>>544085890The terrible part of it bombing is that nothing will happen to these people, they just fail sideways or, god forbid, up

>>544085890The Game Pass experiment really did kill Xbox, huh.Is it cope to assume the game quality will improve now that the price is going up?
>>544086178This shit ain't ever happening. We're never getting true AI.
>>544086246Terminatorbros, what's our response?
>>544086246Fine, nukes it is. You don't need real AI for them to fuck us over.

>lil troll pretending to be a snoyYou don't fool anybody.
>>544086808Considering all the actual Halo fans left a while ago I’m sure someone has to pick up the slack
>>544086178The whole sentient AI thing will never happen because that's not how algorithmic learning programs actually work, but AI will probably lead to a world where the truth and information is fought over and controlled. China and America are literally investing in it more than their militaries for this reason.
>>544086921I've been saying for a day now that the biggest losers in this are actually snoys. I genuinely want them in on MCC, tendies too.They got turbo cucked and may never get it now.

>>544087312ESL spic is back defending the undefendable
>>544083329If they want to shoehorn in everything of modern halo then just put everything in like dual wielding spike grenades flamethrowers equipment. Like instead of microshitting just shit all over it. If they are going to fuck with weapon introduction flow why not just fuck the whole game.we know the real reason is that they hate that people keep holding them to halo debut experience so now they are ruining it and making it borderline unrecognizable cuz it halo 2 and 3 were carefully crafted gold in their shit sequel trash pile so they want to modernize and bury the original experience with complete direction changes to suit their shit sequel design agenda. Bruh this is fucking nasty.
>>544087758Bungie weren't angels either, even during the golden era of Halo. But yeah, Microsoft could've done a better job negotiating with them.

>>544087298>When did the DECLINE of Halo beginXbox 360 era, when the brand went from a special 3-year special event to a yearly forced cash cow. So if you really want a specific point to hammer in on, that would be the first trailer for Halo Wars 1.However, the damage was reversible up until the release of Halo 4, when at that point there was irredeemably terrible damage done to the brand to the point where Halo going forward as a constant juggernaut was forever haulted.At that point, MCC could have at the very least allowed the classic games to be preserved in a respectful state, but then that was fucked over too.Everything else after that (H5G, H5F, HW2, HFR, MCCPC, shitfinite, now this) is just the brand being a zombie kept artificially alive, but if MS ever pulled the plug, people would move on.
>>544088124massive increase of jeet contractor/slave labor usage

>>544088124the same reason marvel movies from a decade ago look better than todayLess effort due to relying on cheap contracts and now even AI.The AI will probably get better tho, but still.
MCC chads stay winning.
>>544086808I'll stop making fun of snoys forever if they don't buy it.
>>544087298this >>544088421 actually says it pretty well.Halo stopped being special the second they started milking it. That doesn't mean the games immidiately went to shit. Wars, ODST, and even Reach all have somw redeeming factors, but the slippery slope had begun.

>>54408888640 minimum, 50 recommended
>>544087365Why was Reach so controversial and hated in 2010 but beloved and revered now?
>>544089545Ruby's but other mods like Havoc and SPV3 are good and even better in different ways.
>>544089545unironically spv3I like Ruby, but I don't like how pretentious it gets with the flood in the second halfAt least SPV3 clearly acts as a mod and not a "game improvement", regardless of what masterz thinks
>>544089718It was controversial because it made large changes to the gameplay compared to Halo 3.It's beloved now because it's been 15 years. People stopped caring to criticize and people who actually liked it got older.
What is their obsession with those ugly bulbous gas tank grunts? Those fucks have been bothering me since their introduction in 4. I like the triangle grunts. I like the default elite. Just recolour them instead of making everything that isn’t low ranked ugly. The one instance where reusing assets is ok and they don’t do it.
>>544089718>Why was Reach so controversial and hated in 2010 but beloved and revered now?1. Nostalgia2. We have far bigger fish to fry than Reach since it came out
>>544089718Halo Cycle
>>544089472>the h2a cutscenes are goodSure my boy. https://youtu.be/6_dLqh_iw2I?t=3954
>>544089768Ruby's mods in general are pretentious. I'm hoping he releases his Halo 2 tagset, because I just want to play with more CE-styled AI and health packs.
>>544089718Early 2010s nostalgia. 2fags and 3fags moved on by now or are just playing their game on MCC. There's no point in hating Reach anymore. What's done is done and Halo has suffered greater self-inflicted wounds by now.
If I hypothetically made a sci-fi game, what are some things I should avoid as far as visuals go?
>>544089718Because it killed Halo for sure. I remember everyone going back to Halo 3, but the reachkiddies are the ones shilling it.

Post your unpopular Halo opinions
>>544090148>Because it killed Halo for sure. I remember everyone going back to Halo 3two back to back hyperbolic statements, neither of which are accurateYes, it was the start or nuHalo, but the brand was not beyond repair and remained immensely popularYes, for about 2 weeks after Reach's initial launch window, Halo 3 again had more players, then it was Reach againI'm not even a Reach apologist, but history revisionism is cringe.
>>544090428Halo should adopt the current Doom's movement mechanics.

>>544090428Reach has better BTB than Halo 3 assuming your team actually communicates and isn't just a bunch of solo-queueing tards
Those SPV3 marines fall off hard on Noble difficulty.
>>544089718The main criticisms were:1) armour abilities. People didn’t like that not everyone spawned with the same starting kit. They also didn’t like that sprint was an ability. They felt that if sprint was going to be in the game it should be accessible to everyone. They also felt armour lock was too strong.2) weapon bloom. People thought this affected your aim in a negative way because it forced you to pace your shots at a distance. In my honest opinion though everyone who critiqued this is a fucking retard because the precision weapons in reach had insane range and damage compared to older halos, so you literally needed the bloom to balance them.3) forge maps all looked grey and samey.4) maps were taken from the campaign and just generally bad outside like 2 or 3.5) vehicle combat was awful cause you could take down every vehicle with a single dmr and 2 sniper shots. Also all the vehicle guns overheated which added to feeling of vehicle combat being trash.6) very bullet spongey campaign enemies. But to be honest this was a weak complaint because anyone with half a brains knows to use plasma weapons on energy shields to deal with the bullet spongeyness.7) some people didn’t like that you couldn’t punch through shields anymore. I personally didn’t think this was that big of a deal. It just meant you couldn’t be a retard and punch and enemy player early.To me though, my single biggest gripe is the fucking unbalanced precision weapons. They ruined the game. The DMR and sniper mogged every other weapon and completely shutdown vehicle play.
>>544090428Halo 4 is still 343's best campaign, which is funny because if also considered a campaign, Spartan Ops is the worst
>>544090428Halo 4 is the most thematically mature and emotionally resonant game in the entire Halo franchise—and it deserves far more respect than it gets.While many fans hold Halo: Combat Evolved or Halo 3 as the definitive peaks of the series, Halo 4 represents a turning point where Bungie’s mythic military sci-fi gave way to 343 Industries’ deeply humanized storytelling. The game’s narrative—centered on the emotional unraveling of both Master Chief and Cortana—injects genuine vulnerability into a universe that had long prioritized stoic heroism over introspection.From an artistic standpoint, Halo 4 is stunning. Its visual fidelity pushed the Xbox 360 to its limits, but more importantly, its art direction reimagined Forerunner architecture as something truly alien, majestic, and menacing. The soundtrack, though different from Marty O’Donnell’s iconic work, is equally powerful—Neil Davidge’s haunting compositions bring a cinematic gravity that perfectly mirrors the game’s tone.And while many criticize its multiplayer for straying from classic Halo balance, Halo 4’s evolution toward loadouts and ordnance drops was a bold, forward-thinking experiment—an earnest attempt to modernize the series without fully abandoning its core identity.In truth, Halo 4 isn’t the point where Halo “lost its soul.” It’s where the series finally grew one. It dared to show that beneath the armor and the legend, there’s a man struggling with purpose, loss, and identity—and that’s something far more compelling than another victory lap through alien battlefields.In short: Halo 4 is the most human Halo, and history will eventually recognize it as the franchise’s most underappreciated masterpiece.

>>544090148i really like reach but it's definitely the beginning of the end
>>544090428Destiny 1's visuals are how Halo should've looked after Halo Reach. I'm aware that nuBungie sucks for other reasons, but they've almost always done a good job with visuals and sound design. They dropped the ball in D2 but still looks stunning in their own right.
>>544090428Halo 4 is a very ugly game art style wise. It’s only better than 4 and 5.
>>544091117it is, but the end was reversible. MCC and 5 were the true point of no returnInfinite even with all the content in the world, would have failed, but nobody is ready for that conversation

>>544091260Agree to disagree. Having said that, Bungie's lighting and lighting techniques peaked in Halo 3. I've yet to see a game that has outdone them in that department. Not sure what black magic they did with that.
>>544091208Infinite was well received at the start. It only failed because people got sick of waiting for the retard devs to fix its buggy ass and to stop being greedy Jews with the store.
>>544091145Destiny 1 to Destiny 2 ports are so bad, cosmodrome and plaguelands in particular are egregious, just blatantly unfinished. Their orginal stuff is usually pretty good, minus Kepler from the most recent expansion.
What is wrong with 343? Why are they always like this? And why do they lie so much directly to our faces? What do you mean you've been listening to fan feedback and staying true to the original game? You're putting Halo Reach AI/animations onto Halo Infinite Elite Models and replacing the CE magnum sound with Halo 5's sound effect and adding Halo 5's sprint. You put sprint in the Halo: Combat Evolved Remake. You're not doing any of the things you claim you're doing, you're straight up lying 343. Yeah, I said 343. Just because you wear a different hat doesn't make you any different. You're still acting like 343 and you always will be 343. You guys do not deserve to work on Halo. How can you guys lie so directly and shamelessly? Like what the hell man. You're not being faithful to the source material at all. You're just going through changing shit willy nilly. You don't care at all.The hell is this half-assed bullshit. Just make a proper Halo game, man. Stop acting like this, 343. If you hate Halo so much, then give it to someone else. Stop wasting everyone's time and money.
>>544091792Based
>>544091675Oh and neomuna was ass also.
>>544091675Don't get me started. God, current Bungie and 343 share so many similarities, it's scary. I'm glad they finally got absorbed by Sony.
>>544091117>>544091208What was wrong with Reach specifically?
>>544089545Halo: Campaign Evolved
>>544091145What is the deal with Bungie adding fog to everything and desaturating the image as much as possible, making it look worse? They did this with Halo Reach's first mission too. All that shitty rain you can barely even see while covering up that nice skybox they showed off in the old vidocs. Gears of War's rain effects shat all over Reach's. They couldn't copy them? It took them that long to discover fog and create rain for the first time? It's so silly because they had some of the best interactive water physics in 3 and you could still see it in Reach, so why couldn't they figure out rain, literally, it's just a few animated sprites and some animated normal maps, you really don't have to do anything else except make the ground darker to simulate being wet and cover it in a shiny normal map with splashing animations. But somehow they made it look like garbage in Reach despite Gears of War coming out over 5 years earlier.
>>544091792they are an incompetent developer that MS keeps giving fresh IV to.Anyone else would have let them die naturally
>>544092636Console limitations. The 360 could barely handle Reach.
>>544091289>>544091289
>>544090428343’s forerunner lore is honestly pretty good, but would be vastly improved if they were still humans. To elaborate, what I’m suggesting is that they could keep everything exactly as it is story wise but remove the whole “forerunners are a separate alien species whose name is actually forerunner” thing and make them all humans.The only reason I consider this unpopular is because I’ve literally never seen anyone posit something like this.
>>544054121Bungie-era stuff ranged from very cool to just nifty glimpses into other corners of the galaxy >pic-relatedInterestingly they did take the time to mix CEA assets for a First Strike scene BUT I'm not sure how disjointed F.S. would feel without the talk/elaboration that a book can have compared to the usual pace of a Halo campaign>stupidPerhaps not. "Prequel" levels can let them introduce elements of the setting for greater understanding and immersion. Could've even modified the story to add some of the cut levels from CE. However, doing some introductory stuff set before might be easier to accomplish since you're not treading on (as) sacred ground. Plus, you might be able to make some good side-game/DLC out of TFoR and FS (mission packs like a higher quality Spartan Ops) or go further and add those 'talk' portions in similar to how 5 did it: you could take your time or just zoom through them. Pretty sure you couldn't tell enough of FS in just 3 missions without leaving people on a cliffhanger, so you might as well leave the option on the table to do a more complete FS set of content.>tl;dr I could give entire GDC talks on 343's missteps but just 3 missions wouldn't cover enough of FS anyway
>>544058880>find some peace and actually enjoyIf the people in charge of Halo would treat Halo that way in the first place, especially for a remake, they would be far more faithful to begin with when taking things into high fidelity.>Joe had to convince higher-ups NPC Marines should be more present in Infinite>another dev had to argue for keeping Fortnite-thinking out of a game not built with it in mind from day 1>Dan wasn't even on the modelling team yet was the one to convince higher-ups to make Forerunner stuff look even a bit more Forerunner than 4/5So many of these things would be the default thinking if those in charge of Halo were at peace and enjoying Halo for what it is instead of trying to use it as a trend-chasing vehicle, never mind how many trend-chasey things you can just give a side-mode or menu option in order to have it all.
>>544063179Maybe a lot internally but he's probably more like Marcus and Joe where he'll mildly call things out while also acknowledging any positives he can tooOnly so much you can actually do with words when there's limited time and you don't have the utmost authority or final word on something
>>544067963Makes me imagine a higher/different caliber conversion based on the SMGWould be cool to have a Halo where variants and different ammo types ultimately felt more naturalNot a must but there are many ways to do it without going too much towards the mil-sim end of things especially for campaign
>>544071645CEA used Reach Mark V in some of the ViDoc footage so perhaps they'll make use of the work Marcus did or make another custom suit entirely down the line. Not betting a pre-order on it but it's likely the game will launch in November of whatever year it's slated for.
>>544073569I do like the idea of pulling notes from the CE storyboards and other materials for EvolvedIn theory it's a swell idea it's just that Microsoft leadership is prone to mixing it with bad ideas too
>>544084808>remake attempt 2In a way it's proper that there isn't that much excitement. It's like failing a test and then taking a make-up test.
>>544088735I like that they didn't even fucking try to make miranda look like h2 or h3. Literally every detail about her face is different
