>>544521170I want to take screenshots like this. I wish MCC would add theater mode to CE somehow.
>multi-ethic empire run by tiny minority with distinct long appendage and wield all the power and influence>wants to replace their intelligent noble warriors with dumb, obedient thuggish apes>replaced because they ask too many questionsWhat did Bungie mean by this?
>>544521404use mods
>>544521317>>544521508why did you double post
>>544521510Any recommendations? Have you taken any screenshots with them that you could show?
>>544515971When the Bungie games came out they were probably the best FPS games on console. Eventually the competition made an effort to create other good FPS games for console.
Holy hell the Halo fanbase is irredeemably trash at this point. How the fuck is this schizo meeting point one of the more calm places to actually talk about Halo?
>>544520981The Best Multiplayer since Halo 2™
>>544520981Reach a shit
>>544521890>Reach out of nowhereDerangement SyndromeReach is fine btw
>>544521890Seems unhygienic.
>>544521753Even here's gonna be fucked for a while thanks to tourists coming by because of the whole ICE thing
How to save Halo:1. Keep supporting MCC and make it work very well on PC and Xbox Series consoles. Perhaps even port it (or part of it) to PlayStation/Switch to generate more interest in Halo.2. Develop a new Halo game which can compete with other modern FPS games. Don't try to force a new "classic" Halo game. "Classic" Halo fans can play a supported, bug-free MCC. A new major Halo game needs to appeal to today's gamers, as many of them as possible. If sprint widens the appeal, so be it. The priority should be a compelling FPS game that is popular with both gamers and critics.You're welcome.
>>544522215I'd rather have the /pol/tards turn this into a designated shitting street for a while then the 62IQ mongoloids from the modding discords and Jewtube comment sections show up.
>>544522217Are FPS even popular these days? I rarely see anything new that sticks around for long. Apex Legends was the last big new FPS i can think of, and that has already been forgotten by many.
>>544522367CoD still sells a ton with each release
>>544521620I don't now because I'm at workWhen I get home, if I remember, I'll respond with someSorry
>>544522367CoD, Siege, and at least right now Battlefield are popularCSGO is also popular on PC only
>>544522436No Halo bundle, Sad!
how to actually save Halo:1. only White and Japanese men on the development team2. they must all be under the age of 253. they must be normal thats how its saved
>>544522692>2. they must all be under the age of 25>3. they must be normalMutually exclusive. No one under the age of 25 is the kind of normal that would make a Halo game in the way you would want it to be done. No, we have to kidnap a bunch of 6 year olds and subject them to intensive training and indoctrination on 80s and 90s action media and mecha anime. We can call them something greek, with a 2 on the end in roman numerals because why not?
>>544521748Oh yeah, I know about that, just I never really was all that bothered about it as some people seem to be. Honestly, I think some people might be posturing about how much they like halo. I might replay CE later, though.
>>544522716CEMake will probably end up being more or less "fine".Ironically, the things they change the most will probably be the most appreciated, where as things that are more similar will just always get compared to the original.But yeah I'm excited for changes to Library, T&R interior, Flood stuff in general. Plus 4 player co op.
>>544522692>Marty>normal
>>544520981Happy Birthday, Halo 5I have nothing else nice to say to you though.
schlorp
Halo roguelike when? >start as a marine on a UNSC ship>likely a top down or isometric style view (not sure FPS would work as well, maybe TPS?)>Covenant attack and board>engineer interference or something causes the ship AI to split into multiple different fragments>entire ship is being decimated>marine has to make it up to the bridge to enable self destruction of the ship>battle your way through Covenant forces, starting off with a simple AR>encounter different AI fragments at terminals which can upgrade your weapons in new ways or allow you to acquire new ones>upgrades can be standard fare (ammo or reload) or can be confidential and experimental ONI tech>shotgun pellets that ricochet, cryo AR rounds, rocket launcher with a cluster bomb effect etc>can learn proficiencies so you can start using covenant or forerunner weapons more effectively>eventually can complete a challenge (maybe some sort of wave based challenge?) to access an ODST pod and upgrade into an ODST>stat boosts as well as allowing new weapons and gadgets to be used (silenced SMG etc)>continue fighting through different decks of the ship>each area has a different boss before the next deck>Elite that dual wields energy swords, Brute with special grab hammer, a “gruntking” (similar to a rat king…but with grunts) etc>deck areas could be things like Engineering, Medical, Cryo, Armory, Crew, Garage before the Bridge as the final one>can complete an even harder challenge late game to have the AI turn you into a Spartan>more stat boosts, gadget, and weapon unlocks>Flood gets introduced around halfway through the run (broke containment on cryo due to the skirmish?)>Juggernaught boss>final boss is a flood infected Spartan
Reminder: Digsite only existed so that 343 could find and organize pre-release assets for CEmake and any future projects on the cheap.
>>544522217>If sprint widens the appeal>a compelling FPSThis makes sense until you remember people still expect a Halo game and you don't have the freedom of a completely new IP. Sprint (move faster stop firing) was always a bad fit for Halo and was kept out of Halo by one of its major game design leads, until the art lead now turned leader on Reach decided to greenlight it. 343 had all the feedback and design insight to see that version of Sprint got its fair shot and was not ideal in terms of reception nor gameplay.Being able to shoot while going max speed is a Halo (FPS) fundamental. You can let players kick it up a notch, even multiple notches, but you can balance this by messing with stability and grip on the weapon, accuracy and how long spread takes to reset, recoil and have the cosmetic wobble of weapons affect the reticle, the list goes on. Now players can return to shooting while moving at max speed but you show off some skill to keep landing shots when you turn it up, rather than having to stop firing.Player is chasing another and his buddy comes to run interference? Before Sprint you could keep moving at a very similar speed to the fleeing player while firing on the would-be savior. When Sprint is there you lower your speed drastically just to be able to shoot, while your target retains full speed and is getting away. Now if you get to keep your speed boost but aiming is harder, you can make up for that with your skill. More fitting for Halo than "shooting or speed" is "accuracy or speed".
>>544522890Fair enough. I grew up playing it and I liked it. Shooting stuff, good storytelling, multiplayer. There are probably other FPS games I would also like, I've tried some, but not others
>>544523745That would make a pretty sick mod, NGL.
>>544523274I can only hope they make it just about as good as can be at least for a side-project that won't get mainline game level of resourcesThen again with all the layoffs and how likely it is that they don't have their A-Team working on it I could see a great margin for error being reasonable
>>544523828>Sprint (move faster stop firing) was always a bad fit for HaloI disagree. I could sprint in Reach and Halo 4 and I liked it. Earlier Halo games can actually be frustrating, especially on big maps, because there's no sprint. You see a Warthog and you want to get to it but you can't sprint, and you get killed. Or you just want to move to another part of a big map, but it takes ages because you can't sprint. Due to this frustration I think I would prefer a new Halo game to have sprint. But really I think the priority should just be making a great game which revives Halo as something that many people want to play - whether that involves sprint or not.

>>544521748https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtG6--4r_qk&t=877You're essentially correct. It's just that no game will ever be universally liked to the same degree.
How do you fuckers go on? The ip has been a total fuck up in every facet since 343 fully took the reigns. Sometimes I get nostalgia of H1-3 and have to remember H4-H6, the MCC's launch DECADE, the books, and everything in between. Halo's quality jump was equal to Dragon Age Awakening straight o Veilguard and it is STILL fucking being dragged around, let alone by the same retards. What is this Pokemon/Gamefreak level of incompetence and infinite motion?
>>544524830>How do you fuckers go on?I take a weekend, I boot up CE, and I play all the way through to Halo 3.
>>544524397>disagreeEh, sure. I did call it bad, but one could settle for it simply not being ideal. I regularly played Reach on 360 and CE on PC for many years and was able to enjoy the mechanical differences. One didn't feel too fast or too slow.There are just better ways to design a speed-boost for Halo, that results in something more fun, more realistic and even comes with more skill expression. A boost that works in every direction would actually play into strafing (more so than 5's thrusters did), letting players turn it on and off mid-strafe to further vary their pattern.Plus in the end this is Halo: there were always modes for rule-sets that weren't meant to be the main feature. We always could've kept the non-ability gameplay and put abilities in variant playlists, considering how modes like Infection, SWAT, Grifball and so on exist. We can literally have it all - even 5 did this late into its life and it got good feedback despite the drop-off in players by then. All the right pieces for letting Halo shine are there, it's just up to Pierre to organize them properly.
>>544523757That would be a good thing if it was true m (not true)
>>544524830We not in the days of having to buy the game yourself to know whether it's good enough for you Prices of news is just your internet bill lol and there's lots of other enjoyable fiction even if you are just lookin for sci-fi
>>544525435I suppose I should reframe that a bit. I was being specific to the Halo ip. Not like killing yourself because a video game ip sucks ass or anything silly like that. How does one continue to actively engage with an ip that has been unrecognizable for so long?

>>544525619For many this's a nice thing to have open on the side whether at home work or schoolPersonally never got sick of even CE despite playing it for hours every day for year I just saw new series to try for the first timeDo get the frustration for those who truly had their fill and want a new Halo made with the right priorities in mind thoughAlso caught a 1000x thanks to /biz/ so I can even fund a team one day instead of just hoping
>>544524830I don't get tired of playing the bungie games except for maybe 2 and reach sometimes. they have a lot of replayabiltiy in my eyes, even without the skulls and mods
>>544524830>>544525619I can't speak for everyone, but for me, it was just a matter of finding peace with the fact that Halo was a unique thing, made mostly by a specific developer, had a great 10-year run, and then ended. Not everything needs to go on forever. Most things shouldn't if we're being honest. We have several good/great games, dozens of replayable campaign missions, and hundreds of classic maps. Most of it is even conveniently all located in MCC. The replayability is great. But I don't need to obsess over something NEW. That's a dopamine starved zoomer mindset. I have MCC, and then outside of that there are other games I can play.tl;drIf a new Halo game comes out and it's actually good, cool.If a new Halo game comes out and it's shit, I'll just keep playing the classics.You should play with us sometime anon.
>>544526621>>544526738soulful postsPlus with mods the replayability is essentially exponentially expandedNow, not every mod is a winner, but checking them out if part of the experience
>>544524830I just play the old games and I'm content with that.

>>544531594is that a mod??
Remember when people were coping hard and screaming about how this and the whole cloak thing was NOT Halo 5?

>>544524830I still have MCC and I can still play what I want when I want.
>>544536034
Breakout ain't ever coming back, Red.
The concept art went so much harder than the final product didIt almost had this "heroes in the dark/epic universe" kind of feel to it.
>>544536252EscharumSlammingTable.gif
>>544536252Aesthetically, no.But it's entirely possible to recreate its mechanics. Much lower health, MA5K/Sidekick starts, thruster start, you can even recreate the hover when you scope in midair.
>>544536752they're testing out a mode that is almost like it I thought
>>544537025Do you mean the Extermination mode they added yesterday? It's not quite the same because it's not one life.
>>544537159yes that
>>544537574That was based on a Halo 5 mode(that I think eventually got a playlist)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KvMiDd3qkYInstead of just killing a team, you had to make sure all 4 were dead at the same time.
>>544536252I shall deliver mine enemies from the history books
I swear Team Elimination or however it was called (Slayer but everyone has only 1 life) was a thing for a while in Halo 3.
>>544534585>>544534785>>544535670>>544535970>>544538151
>>544536314I never thought about it this way before but the way I've settled on is that it's almost like combining Halo with the original Bladerunner in particular, amidst the much larger scale stuff like Guardians.It's kinda odd they even bothered since the art style was very similar to 4 and they already knew from Spartan Ops how much of an effort/resource sink doing a massing new mode (Warzone in this case) would be, leaving even less room for campaign detail.
>>544539572Unironically better than Infinite's system because you could grind for everything. Even the exchange has become a load of shit with armor that requires years of daily grinding to obtain.
>>544539826Warzone wasn't even close to the same kind of scale. It's just some big, mostly symmetrical maps, with copy/pasted buildings, and AI that has been multiplayer-ready since Reach. The bosses are just recolors of existing enemies, and randomly spawning them throughout the match is easy.
>>544540027The thing that makes reqs so cancerous isn't the monotozation aspect of them, it's that the entire game was designed around them. I'm not here to defend of steelman Infinite's store so if you personally hate that more, then whatever, that's fine, but the req system was still cancerous garbage that weighed the overall experience down.
>>544540308Warzone was the thing hit hardest by them. The weapons were seldom even seen outside of that mode.
>>544539826>>544536314Halo 5 was supposed to be a more dystopian/dark entry in the series, and the development ended up being a headache enough that the real vision for the game never came to really be. They also had to cut roughly "a third" of it.It's the game I'm most interested in hearing about the development of/cut content, but so much of that has alluded the public space. At this point we know more about Infinite's early builds than 5's.Maybe that Halo 5 dev panel from HCS goes into detail, I haven't seen it yet.
ToungueGate
>>544539572fucking L O L
>>544540613I'll never understand the rush when it's fucking Microsoft, the second or third richest company on the planet. Like why can't they just wait instead of pushing their studios to rush shit. Retards killed one of the coolest franchises ever for no good reason
>>544540706reminds me of wallgate

>>544541126REEEEEEEEEEEE HALO IS FOR EVERYONE
>>544540893MCC was a disaster and they needed a Halo game for their new console.

/our guy/ is in his natural environment
>>544541418it's all bad now man
>>544534785Halo 5 won by way of being the last halo game with a proper (albeit shitty) campaign. Also flame me all you want but warzone was cool. I still think the game would find a niche audience on PC

While I did see the previous thread, I didn't originally intend on actually making a special celebration for it. 10 Years of Halo 5 felt long overdue to me, probably because of the barrage of Halo on Playstation and death of Xbox news and aych gee happenings that went on after the Campaign Evolved Reveal. But alas, I want to give something back to y'all.I joined this place a bit more than five years ago. It was during then that all the shitposting about BTB being broken and Bloons having more players than Shitfinite was happening, and I got heavily invested in learning about everyone here and partaking in the discussion. Not too long after I started my autistic crusade to host lobbies and cement myself in a position of leadership authority and the rest is history.From the no mic euros to the shitposting forced posters, from the humble and modest oldfags to the cancerous femboys, I have accepted allnew guysas my equals, and maybe even my friends if I'm feeling lucky. I love the incoherent trashtalk and I cherish the few select moments of passion I see in your personalities. Even if somehow CEmake pulls it off and becomes a hit and we get flooded with snoys, I'll still remember all the ridiculous, totally not normal for imageboard standards shit I did with you all.Take care, Halo General. Maybe one wishful Friday night we'll get to queue up for Halo again.
>>544542064
>>544542423>>544542547Thank you for reminding me that the remake does have a chance at doing something right
Why are they so afraid of remaking halo 3
>>544542423>>544542547Halo is alluring

>>544541126
>>544542064When nuHalo flops again I wonder if xbox will give up on halo forever or finally relent and try to make a good game for 35 year old halo fans
>>544543165The former. And honestly, we'd be better off for it.
>>544543165>something will changeThey'll shake up the leadership, say they learned their lesson and try again
it's over
I'm fine with the new weapons in Campaign Evolved.
>>544545318The more I see of this, and having just done a playthrough of CE, the worse it gets. EVERYTHING is off in some subtle way. Especially damage feedback.Also>4 nearly 5 days>1.2M viewsLMAO. Maybe we're gonna win after all.
>>544545773Just about the only thing they got right was giving the pistol a 12-round mag. But even then, it seems they nerfed the fuck out of its reserve ammo.
Since Halo Studios has already confirmed that some of the changes they're making to the Library include more and different dialogue from 343 guilty spark, what are the odds that they'll get rid of the forerunners = humans lore once and for all?
look americans..
btw does anyone have the webm of reach being destroyed on the news and then interrupted by the fried chicken commercial?
>>544545773the game is doa in a year when everybody is going to be surging into new multiplayer-focused titles
>>544545658>I'm fine with the new weapons in Campaign Evolved.Honestly the more I sleep on it, the more I am ok with it being different.It's the stuff that's similar that bothers me the most.
Microsoft should wait for the multiplayer game to be ready and do a dual release with Campaign Evolved instead.
>>544525124>I regularly played Reach on 360 and CE on PC for many years and was able to enjoy the mechanical differences. One didn't feel too fast or too slow.Same, and I did like both games.>Plus in the end this is Halo: there were always modes for rule-sets that weren't meant to be the main feature.

All the right pieces for letting Halo shine are there, it's just up to Pierre to organize them properly.Fair, you could have modes without sprint and other armour abilities, and modes that have them. But people in /hg/ normally say that's bad because the maps need to be designed either with or without sprint in mind. I guess they could be designed without sprint in mind, but still allow sprint on these same maps in the sprint game modes. I would be okay with that.
>>544548473And a bunch of massive name singleplayer titles. It's hopeless.
>>544551574>But people in /hg/ normally say that's bad because the maps need to be designed either with or without sprint in mindReach's maps are shit. Sprint or otherwise.
>>544543249I like that gun. Reach haters probably never even played the game
>>544547852Oh gods this didn't dawn on me
>>544548558>It's the stuff that's similar that bothers me the most.I tend to agree. I just want them to get off the fence. Go full reform and make it "modern" and fulfill "their vision." Stop trying to play both sides, it failed three times. Especially if they hate classic Halo as is rumoured. Who knows? Maybe they could create a cool new idea and reach the mythical modern audience.
>>544551809It's a more boring Brute Shot.
>>544543165Microsoft will just allow nuAnniversary to flop and then let halo studios make OUR HALO 2 with no coop, split screen, forge, physics, or theater at launch (coming soon) [aforementioned features will be cancelled] which will flop and then they will just change the name again and remake CE again (again) again and again. It makes perfect sense it is a winning business model to do anything and everything except what Bungie did with halo 1-3 do you not understand?
what has Michael Salvatori been doing after bungie kicked him out and did he leave on his own or did they abused him like Marty?
>>544551746>Reach's maps are shit.I disagree>>544551962I think the rate of fire of the concussion rifle is quicker if I remember right
>>544551954Or better yet, try going classic one time and seeing if there's still an audience for it. At least then we'd all know.
>>544552129Probably retired. The high budget games industry doesn't want old talented legends. They want easily replaceable and obedient slaves who are connected to the right people after jumping through the arbitrary hoops set up by college scammers.
>>544543249Damn I remember reach looking so good.
The Endless has arrived
>>544552158It was ever so slightly slower, but made up for it with higher damage.
>>544552898Parts of it are good. The aesthetic of the forerunner architecture you have to use in forge is not good.
>>544552853I don't believe this. Especially for music.Michael could easily set up his own music studio to work as a contractor for other game studios.
>>544553287I hope him and Marty start something together.
>>544553584Marty is too obsessed by politics to do anything other than running for office.What a shame.

anyone? :( >>544548175you can post it here >>>/wsg/6012035

>>544557479Quintessential Halo.
i struggle to understand who this remake is even supposed to appeal tothe hardcore hate it because it looks like shit and isnt halothe casuals hate it because it's ue5 slop that'll run like asssony players dont care because they wanted MCC over thiswho is this even for
>>544558012Zoomers and Gen Alpha. The original looks and plays too outdated for them.
He's right
>>544558112>plays too outdatedthat'll always be the funny one to me because the whole reason halo was initially popular was due to its simplicity in terms of console shooters even today it's about as simple and barebones as you can get
>>544558367From what I keep reading, it's too slow and boring for them. And the maps are too empty, which is a legitimate criticism in my opinion.
>10 years later and SPV3 is the greatest Halo experience>Halo Studios is clearly inspired by SPV3Holy kino. What went so right here?
>>544559143Halo X in Halo Y.It's that simple.
>>544558175There's still a chance for season 3.
He won.
>>544559854poor thing
>>544558012I assume the point of the project is that they can test UE5 and test a release on PlayStation to see how it goes. If UE5 goes well then they will have learnt stuff for making the next major Halo release. And if the PlayStation release goes well then maybe they'll bring more Halo content to PlayStation.>isnt haloWhat do you need from a new game in order for you to consider it to be Halo? If they got rid of sprint would that be enough for you to consider it Halo (despite the fact that Reach, 4, 5, and Infinite all had sprint)?
When kids think of Halo CE, they imagine it looking and playing like this.
>>544558175>>544559854I never watched it, is it worth watching as a funny bad show like The Boys or is it actual rage fuel?
>>544559143is that odst a hunchback
>>544560908>>544560980It's pretty clear they want to outsource Halo to jeets and remake the original trilogy
>>544560908>If they got rid of sprint would that be enough for you to consider it HaloYes.>ReachDoesn't count - armor ability that wasn't a permanent ability.>4, 5, and Infinite all had sprint.And thusly - not Halo.
>>544561063Its like the exact opposite of what any Halo fan would want and for that reason it is extremely funny.
Post your unpopular Halo opinions
>>544561063If you view it as a parody it's a good laugh.
Also, Sprint in Reach is arguably one of the worst, least meta, ability in the game.The sweats and people in the know use jetpack and armor lock for a reason.
>>544560980There was no need to walk to those places>>544561146Sprint is part of Halo and has been since Reach
>>544561473see >>5445613854, 5, and Infinite are not Halo games - go back to eating your slop goycattle.
If you guys want to know what halo 2 lighting could have looked like, that one modded isn’t doing a good job of showcasing it. Play Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on the original Xbox.

>>544561931its way too strong and easy to use
>>544561931Appearance or gameplay wise?Pre-TU or post-TU?
>>544561590Reach, 4, 5, and Infinite are all Halo games. You're just coping and seething>>544561931Great weapon
>>544562197>4, 5, and Infinite are all Halo games. You're just coping and seething4 and Infinite feel like cheap knockoffs, H5 is a fun AAA multiplayer game but it doesn't feel anything like Halo lol
>>544562197The same way watching your wife get fucked by Tyrone as long as he wears a condom isn't cuckoldry?
>>544562436You've done him.>>544562197He's done you.
>>544562010It wasn’t a starting weapon, only a mid-high tier upgrade. it didn’t disrupt vehicle play. AR starts and replace every DMR with Needle Rifle and the weapon sandbox is fixed. Make AA pickups instead of starting classes and you fixed another portion of the sandbox.
>>544562565People will still hit Y off spawn every life.
>>544562048All of the above. It teeters on OP post update but considering it’s a pickup in most matchmaking and it’s not a power weapon I don’t see an issue. If the DMR magically never existed like I wish was true, invasion would need a major class rework and perhaps its OPness would be a problem there specifically. As its effectiveness ever so slightly outclassing the DMR as anti infantry is a counterpoint to the DMR’s effectiveness against everything including vehicles in invasion specifically.
Halo Reach would have been better if the DMR was replaced by a BR that barely damages vehicles.
>>544563540>Ywhat the fuck
>>544563540don't hit Y he's been through a lot lately :(

>>544573853YeezeID, also known as Y, WeazeID, Yeezel Sneasel, Yeezel the Weasel, Billy, Jeb Bush, Drew, Kamille, Kanye West, Solid Yeeze, or Q's bitch. High ranking member of The Regulars (aka Dank & Friends, sometimes referred to as Pacha & Pals), though his role is mostly that of a court jester to the Inner Circle. Him and his fellow Regulars joined /hg/ with the release of MCC on PC, though he was one of the very few who stayed on and frequently played Infinite after it released. He quickly rose through the ranks with his unmatched Halo skill, high class edits and memes, and infamously killed the official /hg/ wiki. He could often be seen fagbaiting the thread, posting deltarune porn, and grooming confused newfags, but he is NOT a homosexual. His last few concubines (Tavult and boypilled) started ghosting him so he's been pretty bummed out lately. Personally, I blame Baza. Yeeze was never the same after he cancelled their wedding.
not reading all thatanyways, when's the next halofest?
>>544580491Honestly, now that CEmake turned out to be a nothing burger, probably sooner rather than later if I had to guess.
>>544521164The fact the female pilot crashes into the ground and only Chief survives because he is a heavily armored supersoldier should have been the first clue in their media literacy training.

>>544580813I swear this webm used to be of higher quality.
>>544580813people will look you in the eye and say this game plays similarly to infinite
>>544580813this would be a good webm if you didn't fuck it up.
>>544573853Search /vg/ archives for “Yeeze” and tell me how many results you get. Last I checked i think it was 7,000 but not sure
>>544582578Half of those are from faggotspammer, however.
Only good Halo is Halo 1 but Halo 1 is also pretty clunky, so why all this remake hate? It carefully improves the game with just enough series features without any of the really stupid shit from Halo 5 or Infinite.
>Only good Halo is Halo 1True>Halo 1 is also pretty clunkyFalse
>>544582927>without any of the really stupid shit from Halo 5 or Infinite>sprint>hit markers>kill markersThird strike, you're out.
>5 days later the thread is dead againCEmake killed us.
>>544582641This, only one obsessed obese
>>544581010it more or less does yeah
Notice how the original Halo CE didn't need hit markers because the enemies would visible react to you shots and blood would come out whenever they're hit.They also had very distinct death cry sounds to audibly tell the player that its dead.
>Only good Halo is Halo 1True>Halo 1 is also pretty clunkyTrue>but clunky is good in this case True
>>544583641post one of the infinite webms you have saved
Infinitefags are so insecure they throw a little tantrum and call you entitled if you ever dare criticize their game.
Lore accurate...
>>544584325
>>544586124still a classic
>>544586124whys the map so huge
How does this look like Halo 3?
>>544586210blame bungie for stretching it out in H3.Zanzy was perfectly fine, but 3babs are the biggest block of the base so everything has to be based on their nostalgia.
>>544586210Bigger maps, more content.I kid you not.
so they 100% stole halofest from the regulars right? or are the regulars actually now in control of the franchise...
>>544586323>blame bungie for stretching it out in H3.sure, that's why it feels twice the size lol. it's the game that came out more than a decade priors fault
>>544586323Halo 3 Derangement Syndrome mf over here
>>544586506>sure, that's why it feels twice the size lol.No really, Last Resort is considerably larger and is the version every subsequent iteration is based on.Even the map in Halo 2 Anniversary is more based off of Last Resort.
>>544586505Halofest was already a thing old 343 did that kind of faded away and died.Looks like they're reviving it.It looks cringe tho.Maybe just change ours to /hg/fest or something. The last one was almost a year ago.
>>544586124BAZA, SHOW THEM WHY I CHOSE YOU
>Halofest/hg/>Halo FestGaylo StudiosAny questions?
>>544586695ok let me rephrase then:whys the map so huge compared to last resort
>>544587295I have no idea. I'm not even sure that it is. I'll load it up and check if you want, assuming I have it (that's not my webm but I do think I have that map).It's definitely not a sprint thing since that does jack shit in infinite.
marty is a dirty fucking kike. that is all. fuck yahweh you ugly nigger parasite.
>>544587654>It's definitely not a sprint thing since that does jack shit in infinite.Amen to that.I literally even have mine disabled.
>>544587767Halofest is the only reason I would ever boot up Infinite.
>>544587845trans moment
Have you guys considered that the open spaces aren't because of sprint? Halo 2 lowered individual power with the BR, pushing for more teamshotting. 343's adaption to this without reducing kill times to H1 levels was to increase open map space, because it makes teamshotting easier at a casual level. Just a thought.
>>544587845cis white male heterochad moment
>>544587767do customs even work in infinite
>>544588324>do customs even work in infinitebetter than in MCC
works better in halo 5
Customs work just fine in MCC. I don't know what you fags are talking about. Is that a user error moment?
>>544588324Anon that problem was solved years ago
>>544588514>it works on my machineThat's great and all anon but the game still regularly crashes and boots people
>>544588660so play on xbox, pfaggot
>>544588403We tried this and it unironically doesn't.Maybe Halo 5 Guardians on consoles would work but the /hg/ council isn't going to waste time planning a Halofest that requires people to have a console and copy of the game AND game pass subscription in 2025.It's going to be either Infinite or MCC.
>>544587767Both are fine. I would be up for both.
>>544588514>Customs work just fine in MCCMaybe relative to at launch, but they're still a mess
>the /hg/ council
>>544588660It’s not 2014-2019 anymore, if you’re still having problems it might actually be your machine.
>>544585131>what do you mean I have to play the game!!???remember when you actually had to play the game to get them.
>>544588871Works perfectly on my PC.
>>544587767infinite is less fun to play than 4/5 of MCC's mutliplayer games
Pretending the MCC works "fine" in 2025 is just blatant lying. Even 11 years later, it' still one of the pickier games as far as networking goes>Trying to play with people on separate continents is a recipe for disaster>H2A is a glass ballerina in general that will constantly crash or not load certain assets like walls if you bring too large of a party in>CE is still using modified LAN P2P tech with its networking so it actually has to load people in 1 player at a time, it tries to do this quickly but will often "miss" a player or two and they will have to rejoin>too many explosions on screen can crash the game>"failed to join player" is a constant problem with large lobbies, often leading to the host having to quit out and rejoinIt's a mess sir.
>>544587767>Change my mi->*BOOM*
>>544590065It's mainly the co-op campaign I have network issues on. I can't play with my Euro friends without one of us having to deal with the lag. But the multiplayer runs completely smooth and fine for all of us. Why can't they just implement the multiplayer network system for campaign? Are they stupid?
This could be worse.Despite 343 putting out 3 shitty games and a possibly botched remake of CE very soonAtleast they're not as bad and desperate as Bungie right now.Marathon looks like such shit and the couple thousand playtesters didnt even stick around to play the game before it went offline
I hate tranny modders and I have myself even more for not making a backup of my Steam mods.
>>544591167>hate tranny modders>still play their mods and get mad when they're goneYou don't hate them enough then.
>>544591851>still play their mods and get mad when they're gone
>>544524830MCC is actually awesome, and custom games had basically infinite replay value to begin with but the addition of mods has made MCC even more of a living time capsule that the base games will live on through.
>>544590065>>544590607MCC is a bloated mess.I'm convinced that the PS5 rumors/leaks were true and they actively were trying to get it sorted and realized it was too much of a hassle to be worth it given it wasn't going to sell for full price msrp and has no micros.The better bet going forward would be to literally "remake" MCC with a better launcher, since that seems to be where most of the issues come from, but MS doesn't seem interested in that.
>>544587767Halofest should alternate between MCC and shitfiniteIt makes the most sense to keep it fresh imo
>>544595130Based Ark enjoyer.
>>544596304This graphic fails to consider that Crackdown was much more popular than shitlo, giving the illusion that anyone cared about 3.
>>544596304meanwhile
>>544597668AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>544597668Hardly surprisingThe Reach beta was genuinely greatI know people that don't even like Reach that loved the beta for it
reach > all
Reach = fine
Me = Horny
Short for the Horned Reaper
>>544599460I don't mind them adding more flood variety, but I do prefer the way the flood damage tables work in CE still.Being able to headshot flood I never liked.
>>544599605Headshotting flood just made you deal with them the same way as any other enemy.
Would you play Halo on a portable device?
In retrospect, it is weird we only got a total of one (1) map set in a similar environment to the 343 Guilty Spark swamp across all the Bungie games.Would be a great setting for infection customs.
>>544599997depends on the control scheme
>>544596860Immaculate bait. So subtle that I'm the first to get hooked by hit. Nice work.
y'all fish in my net
>>544596860I was so thrilled with that literal who game that came free with my purchase of the halo 3 beta. I remember 2 came out right before Reach launched too. Crackdown during the 360 era will be bizarrely tied to Halo. Funny to think Joe Staten worked on Crackdown 3.
>>544583076Do people not realize sprint and most markers are optional in the remake? As is hud placement. You know what isn't optional, all of those gimmicky gameplay mechanics from Halo Reach onwards that aren't coming back in the remake.
>>544604486>sprint is optionalLiterally pointless if disabling doesn't increase base movement speed.Absolute 'you control the buttons you press'-tier bullshit.
>>544603273Crackdown 2 was such a disappointment. The first Crackdown has to be one of my fav Xbox 360 game.
>>544604668That goes the other way around though; if the level design is largely 1:1, even with the promised changes to the Library and probably general back half of the game? That means the Sprint is nothing but an arbitrary addition that doesn't need to be here except for the sake of "quality of life" for non-Halo players.
Halo: Campaign Evolved.
>>544606406Kino.
Dan is right.
>>544604668This is like saying difficulty settings like legendary or skulls dont matter because you can just purposefully have low health on heroic and stop taking cover at all in Halo 1 and have more of a challenge than by using the options the game gives you. If the sprint is disabled by an in-game toggle it is a legitimate form of play, a challenge with its own category.
>>544604689Yeah I liked 4 player coop and the flight suit (I really liked the flight suit) but I have to agree 2 was phoned in compared to 1 which was an AA masterpiece. Replacing 1’s multiple gangs with unique personalities and fortresses with 2’s unified terrorist cell was so boring. It was the same map but without the character of the original. Two huge negatives. Also it looked worse than the first game for some reason. I still had fun with 2 but it was just a filler game for me while I passed time until Reach came out.
They're gonna remake the MCC bullshit again and remove the old version I believe
>>544610101The MCC is doomed anyway since we still don't have private servers.
>>544610419AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE
>nobody mentioning the new digslop contentThis Reach firefight map is kinda neat, but this vehicle is retarded overpowered and seemingly can't be destroyed.The ODST stuff is just meh. The rooftop map is extremely short and the underground one I gave up on because it doesn't have checkpoints and you get swarmed with a fuckton of drones at one point.I thought this stuff was supposed to be polished up more before release?
>>544611243Well yeah it's "made" by a guy that can't even script his videos so what do you expect?
>>544611243Okay, firefight map broke because this phantom got stuck on a drop pod and can't land. Even killing everyone inside wouldn't let the wave end.>>544612564I expected Microsoft to tard wrangle whatever subhumans were dumb enough to stay onboard with digsite after the implosion as to not risk another avoidable PR disaster. I guess they can't even be bothered.
>>544611243Looking forward to this vehicle in the next Ultimate Firefight Series update.
>>544613731Nu-digsite is just kidd using the name for recognition purposes. It's dead.
Hey guys its Generalheed here with another video that could be completely answered in a 25 second short, but I am going to ramble and trip over my words for 13 minutes instead.

>>544617043Is this the supposed hidden Ark that the Banished used to time travel in Infinite's legendary ending?

So I guess MS is on board with the US government using Halo for their propaganda?
>>544629151Shut up, we don't care
>>544629151Nigger
>>544629151The console war with Japan is finally over after decades of pointless bloodshed, America and Japan are at peace, both have patriotic nationalist governments with shared interests. It is time to get with the present moment and embrace ICE Spartans fighting the illegal third world flood and Trump as John Halo memes, the more AI generated the better.

>>544631482Nice bit
>>544617043It was only recently that it clicked for me that Jorge teleported a ship with a Pelican in it and Sabres on it, along with a large chunk of a ship that likely had other craft. I'm almost surprised 343 never touched on that.
