>>544777918AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEAlso, Reach a good shit
>>544777918>this guy is on your teamWhat do you do?
>>544778993Tk and take his power weapon
>>544779191green sus
Happy Haloween /hg/
>>544779327nice
>>544779384and not shit
>>544779327that's a very fine pumpkin
>>544779674AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>544778290>>544779509right
Bleach is the root of all.
Last I checked, Halloween has passed already.
You're all low ranking shinigami in my Soul Society.
>>544780396not really
thread already ruined make a new one
do you think halo went into eepy mode again?
>>544780259What's the latest news on Bleach, bro?
>Halo 2 and 3 are being remade (with sprint)>Campaign only>Multiplayer is Halo 7But what about a sequel to Halo Infinite's campaign?! It's been FOUR YEARS
I carved this like a decade ago.Maybe I'll make a 2-themed one tonight before I go out.
>>544781562I'm not sure I believe any of this
>>544778993rape
>>544781286Only because of some anime posts? you’re such a whiner.
one of my biggest pet peeves with this remake is the new more "epic" cinematography in the cutscenes. It's all superhero shit now. Halo 1 cutscenes aren't really much to write home about, but Halo 2, 3,ODST, and Reach show what they were going for. It's such a great style. The Blur cutscenes are such a fuckup. Modern capeshit cinematography and storyboarding is such a fuckup.
That has been the case since Halo 2 anniversary thats why im confused
>>544782175>JEROME- ZERO FOUR TWO HERE! >ALICE - ZERO THREE SIX HERE! I fucking hate the psuedo starcraft 2 shit they forced into halo wars 2. No spartan ever referred to themselves by number, just a name like actual characters do in stories.
>>544781354The Halo topic only drew interest when it was time to trash the new campaign, and now it’s quietly back to normal
>>544781562How many times has that account been right? I only believe GruntAPI when it comes to leaks, he's always correct.
>>544782175H2A's weren't too bad, maybe more snappy than the originals, but that was to be expected from pre-rendered scenes. I'd have liked to see the in-game cutscenes with the newer graphics rather than the full pre-renders though.Really, this should have been expected from the opening of Halo 5 with what they had fireteam Osiris doing.
>>544781562Infinite is a 10-year planIt still has 6 to go
>>544782579Doesn't Chief do that sometimes even in the games? I haven't played the campaigns in years.
>>544782769No they were fucking awful
>>544782175I'm almost alright with it because in theory I like the idea of them taking notes from the storyboards and executing on ideas that there wasn't time/tech for back then.The one snag being whether Halo Studios can be reasonable about it. That and CEA did have some differences (some good, some bad) so I'm not sure how much would change due to feedback anyway.
>>544782769Halo 2 in particular has cutscene choreography I wouldn't want to see changed OR we ideally got the OG choreography with the Anniversary graphics. I've seen mods that attempt it and it's pretty nice.
>>544781562why remake something just to >make the art style worse>make the maps slightly worse>add sprintWhy not make a new game?
>>544783865they more or less are.TSC is probably the only mission that close to being 1:1 for nostalgia purposes
>>544782613there are some who come just because they actually like the new halo
>>544783360>I'm almost alright with it because in theory I like the idea of them taking notes from the storyboardsStopped reading there. It'd be alright if they had a sense of style that was as cool as what we got in Halo 2/3But they don't have a directorial sense beyond trying to make every shot look "epic"
>>544781354comfy mode*
>>544784223>Stopped reading there. Stopped reading there
>>544784250it's nice like this
>>544781562LOOPINGREPEATING
>>544781562>you guys suck at making games you should make a game like classic bungie halo >343: you want us to make halo 1? >no that already exists and you already botched a remake, just make a new game like classic bungie halo>343: you want us to make halo 1 into “our halo” with sprint?>no make a new halo that’s like classic halo>343: you want us to make halo 2?>NO
>>544784601the people that are like this would have always complained yeah
>>544784223Well, what you said in your post is basically what I went on to say.As much as I can rightfully dunk on the people giving feedback to try and twist Halo into something it's not, ultimately it's the devs who need to have their priorities right so that there's hardly any discussion over the way to do things at all.Part of Halo's tragedy is that there's so much hindsight available thanks to those who paved the way, yet these newbies not only repeat some big mistakes but make massive new ones. Avoidable ones. It's unfortunate to see a strong IP treated so carelessly.

>>544785148Halo 5 Anniversary when?
>>544784325Based desu. Stopped reading.
>>544784440>>544784486A GRUNT!??
>>544777918Reach a shit
why does microsoft have a first party studio that they have to provide salaries and benefits for when that studio did nothing except make poor management decisions for contractors when they could just hire max hoberman’s studio to make a halo game
>>544784806he’s cool in his own way
>>544784440>>544784486THERE'S A FIRE IN PACHA'S SKULL!
>>544784486did you make it yourself btw? or just pick it up online?
>>544784741343/Halo Studios simply aren't putting the work in to match what Bungie was doing.
I want to remind all my friends on /hg/ that the Spartan Code also applies to Campaign Evolved.Behave yourselves and be nice.
>>544784440>>544784486SET A FIRE IN YOUR SKULL, LIL PACHA
I am indifferent about this remake.
>>544786179>the shartan code
>>544784486cool
>>544786304i’m leaning more toward liking it but yeaha little like you
>>544786158I'm not sure the one who want to will ever be allowed to unless we get another Ed Fries. Not to say he was perfect but someone like him would be able to put 2 and 2 together.
Halo.
>>544787084Havoc?
>>544787141The fucked up UI is a dead give away.
>>544786725This is why I'm just like why hold onto the pastit's not like 343i is untalented, but they're not as talented as Bungie ... so why invite comparison with sequels and remakes that fail to improve on perfection and just make something new New things have it easier in the sense of having no expectations
>>544787141Yeah, it's no Ruby's, but still, it's an extra way to replay CE. I am not sure if it's Havoc or some other mod that adds a lot of enemies and a lot of allies to levels. I know Havoc does that too, but I think I seen mod where they add a shit ton of marine allies to assault to the control room, allies to Library and so on (spartan allies and early spartan model allies too maybe). Maybe somebody remembers name of such mod?
>>544787084>halo modders in charge of hud design
>>544787231Yeap it is. Apparently you have to lower the resolution a bit to fix it. Or was it the FOV? Either way i managed to fix it somehow back then.
>>544787708I often think about a refined version of 4/5's look being used for a new super-soldier IP, even how it could've ran alongside Halo or come after a few more well-made games. Entirely doable if you have the right priorities in mind. Without that- with too much focus on trends (despite the time lag caused by the dev cycle) I'm not sure 343/HS could make a new IP that did as well/better than the lowest they brought Halo down to. Vision is very lacking over there, either due to it being absent or when people have some level of vision it runs into "too traditional". Only Pierre knows if that is still a wall higher-ups are putting up.
Who cares. Halo is done. Post memes.
>>544787084burn em out
It's chilly today.
>>544788813Sure thing, buddy.
>>544789435master queefed
Okay well is embarrassing to be at page 1 with all these forced memes. I am out of here. See ya.
Can you fuck off forever?
>>544788502I'll post history
He's being moody again!
Halo...
>>544791639I love the SMG so goddamn much.
Halo 1 used to be extremely relaxed until a few days ago. Now there are random people joining matches, drawing windmills, playing racist videos through game chat and worst of all not even playing the game.
>>544789435holy based
>>544791639that one area with those human bones is so spooky

El Pozole
>>544792854That was extremely rare for Halo 1. Maybe once a month. Now I've seen about six in the last few days.

QRD on halo??
>>544792950more like el pozozel
>>544793706He's a cool guy teh kills aliens and doesn't afraid of anything
>>544793706I think there's zombies or something? Halo 3 is the only game without sprint.

>>544795856Nobody gives a pozole about forerunners. Why did they think that we care.
The Endless has arrived
You're late.
>>544795856>You are forerunnerI have such a hard time trying to figure out this quote from Halo 3… does anyone know what this could mean? So cryptic.
It's just an ancient slumber
The Endless are never late, nor are they early, they arrive precisely when they mean to.
>>544796102Glad you could make it. The coveted Halo discussion is on other side of this thread, Endless-sama. Shitposters crawling all over it. Follow me.
Mr Baggins
>>544796429It means... we're just getting started.
Mr. John Baggins
What are your guys’ thoughts on the /hg/ ritual posts over the years?
>>544796429He was rampant, o-okay?
>>544796879I miss The Halo Demo
Why John Baggins? Perhaps it is because I am afraid... and he gives me courage.
>>544796879They are good, and /hg/ has so many inside joke schizo posters that you can't even track them all.I just wonder what's the Reach Derangement Syndrome guy's problem is.
>>544796941>But are you ready to take the next step, in the Full Version of HaloBut are you ready to take the next step, in the Full Version of Halo
Reach? More like
Pity stayed Master Chief's hand.
Next Halofest is going to be on the Halo CE demo.
I like the lord of the rings crossover keep it coming
>>544797475Bleach?
It is a gift! A gift to the foes of the Flood! Why not use this Ring?
>>544797613I remember the last time I played it it was a full game on blood gulch and both teams were at red base flipping scorpions and then using them as ramps to launch ghosts and warthogs as high as possible.
>>544796429Forerunners are humanity's ancestors and one retarded terminal contradiction in Halo 3 or post-Bungie mantle bullshit will never change this fact.
>>544798620That shit should not have been confirmed or denied flat out and should not have been a major part of any Halo game story.
marathon lore is so fucking cool bros
>>544798961It's a shame about the gameplay.
>>544798961why? because is bungie?
Now if only the remake could somehow fix the flood being stored on Alpha Halo, which makes no sense at all. That completely defeats the purpose of using the Halo rings as a weapon in the first place.
>>544798961It has some themes I like.And Myth are nice too, inspired by Black Company books, after all.
>>544792950Based
where did the 2000s anime-inspired artstyle go after CE (and Oni)? 2 looks and feels so different it's like we're missing an in-between game, but i still love them all, of course
>>544799070It'd be cool without Bungie. In fact, it's probably cool because of Greg Kirkpatrick who discovered an aleph, left Bungie after Marathon 2 to create a studio called Double Aught that made Marathon 3, then failed to get their game Duality finished, and became a professor of geology or somethingAs you do after perceiving the machines behind the universe
>>544797368
>>544779191Kitty kitty cat catto kot cattie lil kit meowmeow purr purr
>>544798932No it is in fact a great ironic teist that the Covenant launched a genocidal holy war against the children of their own gods. That humans are the holy crusaders in the end yet the alien filth call Master Chief the name Demon.
>>5447999029/11 and the GWOT happened.
>>544800321*twist
>>544800321this desu
>>544798620Jaime literally just admitted the other day the started getting away from it in Halo 2 even.You don't have to like it, but at least stop obsessing over it.
>>544801251Based James, he's a great guy
>>544801251That's not exactly what he said...
>>544800559wtf i did not write down "desu"
>>544799204I mean kind of. The thing with Black Company is it would never work as a game. The setting would. But Black Company as a story is surprisingly Romancekino at its core instead of fantasy mercenary kino. You remove the romance and it loses too much personality. Which is also funny because you could read the first three books only and be completely unaware of that.>>544799902>first reasonBungie was divided on whether or not they should make a sequel at all. But they were excited about pioneering a bunch of new lighting tech. They all got on board for that. The models in game are built from the ground up to look good with said tech. That all failed within 2’s disaster of a dev cycle. Lighting system died. All the models stayed because there wasn’t time to redo them. I’m not sure if any other studio even tried their lighting system because the industry went in a different direction. That and I can count video games with good lighting systems on one hand. >The second reasonBungie was criticized by realismfags (within and outside the company) for design choices in halo 1. Like the pistol being the main weapon. The armor wasn’t realistic. In 2 The look of the marines and the BR were meant to be sort of an appeasement. A halfway point between CE and say Counter Strike. Looked slightly more practical. But still sci fi.>you must like 2 more!No CE’s look aged far better than 2. I have always preferred the original. 2 is still a great look though.
Kinda want to play Halo 2 MP but matchmaking is way too sweaty and the CGB is just Mexicans playing FFA.
>>544801890nobut I did desu
>>544801251>Jaime literally just admitted the other day the started getting away from it in Halo 2 evenThis is only half the story. They went back into it during Halo 3, the only issue was the lack of communication between the game team and Frank O'Connor on the Terminal team.
>>544799902The truth is that while there was some anime inspiration for Halo, people here sometimes look too deeply at it and then wonder where it went. The overwhelming majority of the reason CE is what it is, is because of the limitations of the platform it was ultimately developed for and the time it came out.CE is one of the most YTK video games of all time.
>>544802346I'd play some, but my tummy hurts :(i hope i feel better soon b/c i want to
>>544802447That's largely because Bungie stopped really caring as much about Halo's story after 2 in general, so the lack of communication fits."Halo 3 is poorly written" has become a bit of a meme saying but it's not innacurate. Same goes for Reach, which also took a shat all over established lore.
Lore schizos get the magic balloon
>>544802631Reach only shit on lore that they didn't write.
HAHAHAHAHA
AAAAHWUBADUGH
AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>544803004I always thought he was saying AHHHHHH TOBAMINbut that's only because I always remembered a McGuyver episode with a guy named Tobamin
>>544803075When in proximity of Halo Rings, the covenant are blinded by its majesty and make retarded mistakes
I thought he was saying "heyyy over there!!"
ezmozstawmezididle
come on tough guy
I will run some games soon
We will be joining.
We is such a nice guy.
>>544802631>That's largely because [Shit I Made Up In My Head]It's because that's what Staten had in his notations and the development team followed them.
>>544803572
Bankai.

>>544803960Based
>>544803960Halo 4 suit is Chief's Bankai.
>>544803960I kneel
>>544803746>[Shit I Made Up In My Head]Bungie was done with Halo and Microsoft after Halo 2.You can watch or listen or read any of the numerous interviews where they talk about wanting to move on. Even if you plug your ears and pretend these facts don't exist, actions speak even louder. They wanted independence from MS and fulfilled a 3-game contract to get out. The quality of Halo 3's and Reach's narratives speak for themselves, and splitting off a team to work on ODST just to fulfill the contract does as well.
Someone should make a Juggernaut game mode but instead the Juggernaut is called Yhwach or Kenpachi and the only available weapon is the energy sword.
>>544804552Besides the Juggernaut part you're describing over half of Reach custom games played.
>>544804443It would be great if 2Make was the intended full game with the ark at the end.Obviously that won't happen.
>>544804443>Bungie was done with Halo and Microsoft after Halo 2.And this has nothing to do with the fact that they were following Staten's worldbuilding during Halo 3's development, so you can stop right there trying to spin it to support your argument.
2 will be remade3 will be remade4 will be remade5 will be remade
We will be there for Halo 5 remake.
>>544804850I don't think they have a plan outside remaking the Bungie games. That alone is the next 25 years given development cycles these days.
>>544804784You can top pretending Halo 3 had some super coherent and well executed storyboarding. The narrative was all over the place, out of touch with where 2 left off, and inconsistent within itself. Fans are still confused about it to this day.Halo 3 is poorly written. If this is the result of a plan, then it was a poorly executed plan.
>>544805072thisI recently played through the OT and while I like the levels in Halo 3, there is a clear drop off in story quality after 2.
>>544805072Correct, but that does not mean the intention during development by the game team was that humans weren't forerunners. Cope.
>>544804689Maps and vibes are important too. We could even use mods to enhance the experience.
>>544795856>YOU ARE FORERUNNERIn Bungie's lore, universe, and canon
>>544805227When they remake 3, they're gonna have him say something else.
>>544804850They're stopping at 3 because it will make the main trilogy about of Halo Studios lore and canon to where they can move forward with the series and no longer look back.
>>544805327They can already do that on CEmake. But yes.
>>544796879Almost the same, but generic and forced
>>544805161H and F being more ambiguous was a thing that started in 2. This continued on in 3, and thw terminals were proof of this>th-they just never bothered to check in with the other part of their writing team!Massive cope. The reality is they just didn't care enough and half assed the entire storylineThis isn't even about forerunners, This is about the story implementation as a whole, but the fact that that's what you keep zeroing in on just shows how schizo you are about it
>Humans are Forerunner>Humans are not ForerunnerAs if it fucking matters.
>>544805423I fully believe they're gonna scrub the whole thing, and they're gonna be really petty about it too probably.
>>544805327I know, I wonder how it will relate to the Forerunners.
wtf /hg/ actually moving without shitposts guys
>>544805485You only care about multiplayer. We know.
Shinigami are Forerunner
>>544805534>BUT YOU AREN'T FORERUNNER, AND THIS RING... IS MINE.
The funny thing is, forerunner was never supposed to be the species name. It was a title, so the ambiguity actually makes sense.It was 343 that went all in on "no, that's actually what they call themselves".H=F has become more OOC than bungie ever intended save for maybe in CEWhich I guess is fine because CE is the best game anyway, but pretending it started shifting at 4 is just being ignorant at this point, especially with thw fresh Twitter proof.
>>544805679Kek
>>544805485it literally only matters to lore autists.The fact that forerunner was a title meant that it was something humanity could inherent.Whether Humans were literally the same species being spelled out for us goes against the mystery that made halo great.
death to israel
>>544805691yeah that's why it's dumb when schizos think spark saying that actually proves anything because the whole thing about forerunners being a species name is literally and ironically a 343 invention.
Nobody cares about what some washout employee says on Twitter about a game series that hasnt been good in two decades. Deal with it.
>>544805691Cortana, Assault on the Control Room, Combat Evolved>This ring... It's Forerunner. Give me a moment to access. Yes, the Forerunner built this place, what they called a fortress world in order to...Why must you make shit up?
>>544805805You get it. It's a title and ambiguity is the entire point. It's there for concepts like destiny vs chance.
>>544805679>YOU ARE A CHILD OF MY MAKERS, INHERITOR OF ALL THEY LEFT BEHIND, RECLAMER, YOU ARE THE CULMINATION OF ALL OF MY MAKERS' PLANNING, BUT THIS RING IS MINE!!!

>>544805916The only based post here.
>>544806376Marty!
>>544805979Forerunner literally has a definition in the English dictionary anon.>A thing that precedes the coming or development of something or something elseBungie chose that word intentionally.>b-b-b-butCalm down schizo, i'm not arguing that they couldn't be the same species. I'm saying it's intentionally kept vague about whether they are or not, and the further confusion in 3 adds to this intention. This isn't complicated. Humans can "be forerunners" without being the exact same species as them, or they can also be exactly the same. The mystery is intentional.
>>544806459this
>>544806459I don't know why people have ever been confused otherwise about this.Why do people feel like everything needs a definitive answer.Halo is all about mystery.
feel like Halo 3 would've been a lot more jewish under joe staten

>>544806264>YOU ARE SNEED! (FORMERLY CHUCK)
If Halo Studios really want to distance this remake away from Bungie's universe, it's time to unmask the Master Chief. It's been 25 years, they can show us his adult face now. I don't care anymore.
i speak on behalf of all of sane america when i say WE WANT A REVOLUTION AGAINST THE RIGHT WINGEVERY SINGLE ONE
>>544807096This, but unironically.
>>544807264we saw his face in halo 4
>>544807096nazis can stay desu
>>544807435It's time to see his full face, one they can use going forward since they changed that Halo 4 face after well, Halo 4.

gonna seethe little trumplet?only 3 more years then we mop up you little magatards off the street, freak in da sheets, glocks on the streets bop bop s krrrrr bop bo pbbopbing bing bing pop POP PO PO
the reason i think halo 3 would've been more jewish under staten is because the series was cycling through abrahamic religions to draw from. halo 1 took inspiration from christianity then halo 2 drew more from islam. they kind of rushed out joe's story with halo 2, compromised and unfinished. so if they continued with that cycling then judaism was naturally next.

>>544809592Kino.
>>544809317>>544809425I'll run it again later
>>544804850Will Infinite get remade?
>>544809592You joke, but Halo 7 is probably either gonna be another soft reboot that actually does take place like 100+ years after infinite or like, a bullshitty "The Endless have time powers and Atriox used them to retcon Halo 4-Infinite to bring back Doisac! Here's bungie nostalgia bait!"
>>544810379>"we're retconning the 343i games from the canon!">the monkey's paw curls>"but we're keeping THE ENDLESS and ATRIOX as the antagonists for the next game anyway!"That's terrifyingly plausible considering it sounds right up 343's alley.
>>544810619With any luck, we'll see a game of thermonuclear war before that ever happens
>>544810379>>544810619Okay, what the fuck do you people want? You keep saying you want the 343 games to be retconned one second, but then you bitch about wanting to continue "what Infinite set up" the next, so logically, Halo Studios decides to just do both, because we have a ton of unused ideas and concepts and prototypes from Infinite's timeline but want to have a New Dawn timeline as well, and don't want to put resources to waste. And then you post that it's actually "the monkey's paw curling!" when this becomes a possibility, even though management has tight deadlines set and it makes the most sense to use old material while also adhering to the design requirement of needing to continue from where Bungie left off and not 343. You people bitch and moan constantly. Went through the work of setting up fucking Q&A feedback and TELLING EVERY FUCKER AT HWC TO GIVE FEEDBACK AFTER PLAYING IT, AND THEN YOU GO ONLINE AND SAY "THEY DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO US, THEY WANT TO GIVE US SLOP!" There's no fucking winning with you people
>>544805485Well in 1-3 it’s a kind of cool background narrative to those that cared. It’s not super important to your average player and then the mystery to who they were is resolved with >You are ForerunnerAnd that’s a definitive statement that wraps this up. >Frank screeching beginsFrank decided that mystery was the most important thing in the whole series and then subverted the conclusive statement and resolution with a side terminal that the story team didn’t even know about because he knew he would weasel his way in to making more halo after Bungie drops it. His ultimate goal was to make his fanfic the true canon. If you don’t care about who the forerunners were, then you should really hate Halo 4 and 5’s retconning to make that the story focus.

>>544811413There's no story they can tell that would satisfy anyone to tell the truth. The original trilogy was neatly self contained. At best they can do spinoffs of events during the war, or Humanity and the Banished scrambling to claim Forerunner technology and installations to use against each other, then a Flood outbreak happens, but at that point you're just retelling the original trilogy anyway.Halo was finished, it's not meant to continue on forever, and this is something everyone on all sides are mostly unwilling to face. It's why 343i can't seem to do anything right, and why the games don't seem to satisfy anyone no matter whose suggestions they appeal to. Microsoft dabbles in necromancy however, so the franchise shambles along as a reanimated, withering corpse.
uh oh
>>544812446Could always make a milsim spinoff where you play as a marine, anon!
>>544811413All the varied halo opinions are united in that no one actually wants CE to be remade again to be more like Infinite. I think Halo has nowhere to go because Bungie resolved everything in their games. The two best options for new halo games are>reboot everything >spinoffsI’d rather they did spinoffs but reboot would at least let them operate in the human covenant flood war with master chief
>>544809592It'd be funny but I happen to have a vision for a game set in Halo a very long time from the present + that might actually be a good opportunity to do the real Hunt The Truth-related campaign, or rather recycle all that unused potential.
Is we playing Halo?
>>544812883Humans can sprint, Elites can do quick dodges, grunt players are just kind of fucked I guess.
>>544811413If Infinite's campaign is half-baked I just want Pierre to make a 75-100% baked Halo. I don't expect anyone to outdo Bungie, but I used to think those who took over after would at least manage a Halo Wars level of quality but for FPS instead of RTS. Good use of themes, basically. Multiplayer should be at least as rich with features from day 1 as Reach was. 343 kept running into "too traditional" and "our 'halo'" mindsets overruling good sense. We'll see if Pierre can shake that - if he even wants to.
>>544812889>All the varied halo opinions are united in that no one actually wants CE to be remade again to be more like InfiniteI do :( halo 3 has my favorite gunplay in the franchise and halo infinite comes closest to it
>>544813252He won't, the executive level these days have sticky beaks, they don't seem to understand delegation and just want to micromanage everything.

There are two kinds of Halo fans:Spartans and Grunts.Which one are you?
>>544821176Blessed halo enjoyer
>>544821412Spartan, though I do have some reservations
>>544821412you should delete this
>>544821412I like to suck on tits so I guess I’m a Grunt.
>>544821251
>>544821412
>>544821412What the fuck is Chief holding?Is that a fucking Galil?
>>544821808Looks like an Aug I think
Admit it, you are a Grunt.
>>544821808It’s an AUG of some kind I can’t tell which because I don’t know the variants well.
>>544821412The Arbiter where I'm appalled at the lack of level-headedness on both sidesInsults just encourage devs and "fans" to be defensive and spitefulAccepting anything and just being positive is lame and they should request higher fidelity and integrity because even if you think Evolved is good why would you ever pass up the opportunity for things to be even better
Playable Grunts when that would be cool. It would be way more hardcore than playing as a Spartan
>>544822017Look at Monster Hunter Wilds for example. Fans on Twitter would eat you alive for questioning the performance during the beta. And here's the status for the current game, each update breaks it even more, it keeps running worse and worse. But hey, the fans were OK with this to begin with. So why should Capcom hurry up and fix it anytime soon? Toxic positivity is a thing that exists.
>>544822145Frankchads cannot stop winning and no the humans are NOT forerunner
>>544821412When the moody reguloids see this... they will have your head
>>544822145I immediately thought of this tooIt's just so bad man. It has been for so long Maybe we really should just stick to MCC and give up on all the new shit.But I do have to ask, or I guess I'm looking for reassurance, are we cucks for doing that? MCC is still a 343 product after all.
>>544822381Okay picture this a squad based Horror game where have to manage morale as you descend into the bowels of flood infested high charity you play as a Grunt squad
>>544822427WHEN they learn?
>>544821038>what do you wantIf I truly have the final word then even 343 would doMy plot for 4 still works and improvements/additions to its have been made over time since Halo is just that naturally inspiringWe would actually explore a Forerunner world rather than talk about it in a ViDoc before throwing it into a star in a side-modeI would like to lead into that plot nicely by actually wrapping up Infinite's plot before introducing a faction more unique and threatening than the BanishedHowever this is me speaking without access to all the Halo materials that are not yet public so who knows what ideas I'd be given by them
>>544822427The only moody one left that still actually plays Halo at all is JJAB, and nobody is afraid of him
>>544821412This seems extremely bad faith.Like, I think a lot of the discussion about CEM here has been a bit overblown, sure, but this just seems disingenuous in the opposite direction.
>>544822350I was pretty hyped for Wilds but just like with Halo 4 I started noticing things and decided not to pre-order after allDevs really need to be more responsible and develop with integrity in a world where people fan way more easily spout nonsense and pose as a fanWell if they were doing/allowed to do so in the first place then weird narratives by so-called fans wouldn't mean much anywayI didn't even grow up with Halo so it's extra sad when I see people who supposedly did unable to rub 2 brain cells together and realize why something is not a good fit for being at the core of Halo gameplay/story especially when side-modes exist specifically for weird and exotic takes
>>544822591Don't play games that don't appeal to you. I barely played Halo 5, I have not played Infinite and I won't play the remake. If the game looks appealing to you then play it. But if you're buying games you know you'll dislike because it says Halo (or dev studio, franchise name, etc.) on the box then you're just retarded plain and simple. If MCC appeals to you then play it, it's fine.

I'm so tired of the X fans don't like X thing meme being regurgitated all the dang time. It's not even exclusive to Halo. Then they speak of themselves like they're above the whole community and are truly fans of X thing. Basically similar to moralfagging tactics.
Sprint should NEVER have been added to Halo.

why the fuck did they add sprint to thisthe gameplay looks so much better when the player doesnt sprintbut the moment he does it looks terribleim so fucking tired of thisdoes no one feel that way?
>>544848418Everyone feels this way. 343 has no idea what it is doing or why it is doing it
Baseball is NOT Halo.Basketball, however...
>>544848603Grifball is rugby
>>544848418>does no one feel that way?Most of us feel that way. Sprint is so stupid. It always looks so shoehorned in and makes games look trashy. Even Halo Infinite looks fine when you're just moving around like normal, but the moment you start sprinting it looks so stupid like you're trying too hard to look 'cool'. I don't know why Modern '''''devs''''' love it so much. There's nothing modern about it. It's a dated mechanic that instantly makes you think of Call of Duty. We don't need to keep forcing sprint into every Halo game, how about bringing back dual-wielding or even experimenting with a double jump mechanic. Both of these are more fun and more useful than sprint. Sprint just makes Halo more tedious without actually improving the gameplay. Sprint has never proven why it needs to be in Halo after all these years, it hasn't improved any Halo game since it was added. It needs to lose its protected status.
How did they screw up the physics from reach it’s the same engine?
>>544849113Actually I take back double jump. That would ruin vehicular battles and give everyone a get out of jail free card like sprint does. Nah, we don't need that.
What is the correct way to implement dual wielding? Because outside of cool factor (which is extremely well executed) it really wasn’t done well in 2 or 3
Why is the Halo fanbase so divided on what Halo should be?
too many fake fans (anyone who disagrees with me)
>>544849568The problem is the sniper rifle. The BR is too strong and everyone starts with it, but the BR is that strong because of the sniper rifle being OP. Yeah, it's hard to use, but being hard to use doesn't prevent someone like Mint Blitz from getting 4 free kills every magazine. It's just hard to use for everyone else. I would nerf the sniper rifle to not do bonus headshot damage so that it kills in two shots on a spartan with full health/shields every time. This would make it more consistent. It's already OP without the scope, yet it also has cross-map range just because. Not even the rocket launcher or spartan laser is that strong. I would even go as far as replacing the sniper rifle with the skewer moving forward, but that might be too much. I do think the skewer is a better sniper rifle than the sniper rifle in terms of balance and skill; The skewer kills in one hit and is effective against vehicles, but missing shots and reloading are way more punishing than the sniper rifle and you can't just spam it like the sniper rifle. I also think the skewer is a better spartan laser than the spartan laser. But I would actually bring back the rail gun, buff it a tiny bit and have that be the new spartan laser and then nerf the skewer's damage against vehicles while making the rail gun more effective against vehicles.Because the long-range sandbox is so strong, dual-wielding (mostly close-range) gets shat on. Just nerfing the long-range so that you're more motivated to close the distance would make dual-wielding more useful.
>>544850509Because the games are so divided on what Halo should be. If they didn't add sprint, armor abilities or remove dual-wielding, or try to reinvent the franchise every game with 343, we wouldn't have this problem. You play any COD and it's COD, even the future ones with robots or the world war 2 games. You want to play Halo, you have to decide what mechanics you want to play. Even the similar ones like Halo 3 and 2 are so different you can't just be good at one and automatically be good at the other.
>>544850509Because the series has had an identity crisis since 2010.
Jaime is based.I remember talking about this a few years ago. Despite Halo 3 being a really good game you could already see the cracks appearing with Bungie and Microsoft's weird power struggle.Inserting the terminals (anyone who cared was already checked out of Halo)The legendary ending alluding to a 4th game despite every Bungie employee calling it the finale Jamie name-dropping Frank O (NANO MACHINES SON) Connor
>>544853132I liked Halo 3's terminals because they seemed completely separated from the main story. I didn't even realize it was Mendicant Bias talking to Chief. I just remember them being so fascinating to read because they were like a long-lost ancient diary that became corrupted so you had to read it fast before it corrupted. I never knew what any of it was about, except for an ancient forerunner war against the flood. And I still thought forerunners were human. They didn't have to make them aliens or bring them back like they did in 4. They should have stayed cryptic and mysterious.
>>544849568Dual SMGs and Magnums are great in Halo 3. They completely dominate close range encounters. Problem is, these are the only effective combinations, besides maybe SMG x Plasma Rifle.The big issues are effective range, managing the second weapon and bad weapon synergy.Halo has steadily moved away from being close range focused, thanks to the popularity of the CE Pistol and then the Halo 2 BR. Encounters where dual wielding is effective became rarer and rarer as the series went on.Managing the second weapon is too much of an hassle. You can't swap to your BR or whatever the fuck without tossing your second SMG to the ground. You constantly have to babysit that other gun if you want to melee or throw grenades. Hell, you can't even carry it with you while driving. Most players would rather not deal with the inventory management at all.Most dual wielding weapon combos suck. The Plasma Pistol was great (a bit too great even) in Halo 2, which had to be nerfed. In Halo 3 it's barely usable against infantry, let alone as your second weapon to your Magnum. The Spiker is worthless. I would even say it's harder to kill someone with dual Spikers than with a single one. The Mauler has shit range and does not play nice with any other weapons. The Halo 2 Needler was in the same situation. The Plasma Rifle is only good against shield. It can hardly kill anyone on its own, even while dual wielded. It can be effective while paired with the SMG and nothing else. Dual Magnums are great, when the bullets hit where you want to. But the Halo 3 Magnum doesn't benefit from the other weapons. Dual SMGs is also great, but swapping one of the SMG for anything else (besides a Plasma Rifle) is also a complete waste of time.Solutions: Build maps around short range encounters. Don't make precision weapons so overwhelmingly powerful at all range. Make dual weapons less of a pain to manage (can press Y without dropping your gun). Give us a reason to mix weapons up.
>Human are Forerunner>Remove Sprint>Fall of Reach (Original Print) is more canon than Halo ReachThe Holy Trinity of Halo Lore.
>>544849568Don't nerf the damage because they can be dual wielded, don't add in the damage penalty when dual wielded. Just have it be an accuracy penalty.And if it's too op for MP, just don't have it in MP. Shit like the fuel rod gun and invincibility powerup aren't in MP by default.
>>544850509Because the franchise has highly inconsistent gameplay that appeals to widely different fanbases. Many long running franchises has that issue (Metroid, Fire Emblem, Sonic), but Halo also chases after trends, still not realizing that trends are ephemeral and people will just move back to the trendy games instead of staying with Halo.Halo Infinite would have been more successful if 343i committed to making Halo 5 2 instead, doubling down on the capeshit and silly Power Ranger Spartans.
>>544854254The Fuel Rod Gun isn't in Halo 2 and 3's MPs because Bungie's netcode couldn't handle it. They somehow fixed it in Halo Reach.
>>544854451Who said that? Bungie? Because that's a load of shit. The netcode wouldn't be able to handle any automatics if that was true.The sentinel beam was an issue because it was max firerate.
>>544854760>Who said that? Bungie?Yes, and I can't be bothered to look through the Wayback Machine for Shiska's posts on that matter.
>>544853831>Fall of Reach (Original Print) is more canon than Halo ReachI feel like they completely mischaracterized Halsey in Reach, not as bad as her character assassination in 4/5 but still.
>>544853551What Jaime Griesemer has been saying about Halo recently is very important and crucial because it gives a lot more insight surrounding this topic which has been an ongoing debate for years. This is definitive proof that the terminals were entirely fan-fiction and an abberation to the original trilogy's story and overarching narrative, but it also proves how much of a fucking faggot Frank O'Connor is for consistently beating around and muddying the waters just to keep his little lie going.Frankie put on his little fucking act for years and as if he was some sort of respected OG Bungie veteran even though the dude was nothing but a literal reddit mod for Bungie forums who autistically obsessed over Halo. Its unbelievable that he planted these evil fucking seeds years before eventually weaseling his way into a undeserved position steering XBOX's flagship ip. No reason why Reach was also shitWhat a fucking faggot, no reason why he got depressed and left the company. Dude destroyed Halo.
Reminder that Frank C'Connor thought that Halo 3 ended with the UNSC teaming up with the Covenant to defeat the Flood.
>>544855374To be fair, the UNSC and the Elites teaming up with the Covie remnants to fight the Flood would have been kino.
>>544855374>>544855440While true and cool, isnt the point of The Flood is that they are basically unstoppable and always a threat?
Remember what they took from us
>>544858008what is this power rangers bullshit
>>544858280Someone at Bungie had a thing for watercraft and kept trying to make it happen for the entire Halo run.
>>544855374Who the fuck gave him the role of Franchise Director? Dude was a content manager who gave weekly updates for Halo when he was with Bungie. No wonder why Halo was in a such bad place for the past decade
>>544858008RETVRN
dude... democrats are like... the flood and the empire and thanos and sauron and voldemort combined times a hundred
Why ask for feedback if you guys are just gonna ignore all of it. Anyway, fine, here:>1 thing you really likedThe Magnum, surprisingly. Yeah, its animations/sound are from Halo 5 but it looks and sounds really good. I also like the slower fire rate. Feels way less spammy.>1 thing you'd like to see updatedUpdate sprint to the latest version so that it is removed from the game.
>>544859504halo is capeshit
Okay, a compromise. Halo removes sprint, but anthro furry baddies get added to the game.
>>544859778>1 thing you really likedI like how they re-recorded the lines alongside doing more cutscenes>1 thing you'd like to see updatedWeapon Bloom, It’s a campaign not a Multiplayer PvP Experience. All Weapons Should have their original accuracy with some tuning as Bloom is such a weird thing to put in a Singleplayer experience
>>544859778Turns out sprint can be disabled. Wow, that's actually a huge pleasant surprise. Genuinely thanks, 343. Okay, updating my feedback:>1 thing you really likedBeing able to disable sprint. Nice job, 343. Finally, listening to our feedback.>1 thing you'd like to see updatedMake the art style more like the original CE. That's a bit vague, and since they're using Infinite and other older Halo assets, they probably don't want to make a full remake of all the assets, so maybe start with this since it will be fairly simple to just update the textures: Make the Foreunner stuff less reflective chrome, and more brushed, rough metal with some wear/tear for the outdoor structures. It needs to look more ancient and mysterious, not pressure washed and polished to perfection.
>>544860253>I like how they re-recorded the linesYou mean the ones that sound like dogshit with Cortana completely missing the intended tone of the originals?
Maybe I'm missing something, but why can't Microsoft release 2 Halo games in their own year? They're rich enough to have a dual series of Halo where one plays like classic and the other one is experimental and does whatever they want, sprint included. CoD gets spitroasted by gamedevs all the time, why can't Halo?
>>544860531Besides those, She doesn’t sound like the Mature woman like she was in CE. Of course that was 25 years ago so I can’t blame Jen Taylor
>>544860645That requires competence. I don't mean that as a cheap jab either. Publishers can throw all the money they want, but the people hiring devs have been really shit in these past +15 years. And there's so much corporate BS that happens behind the scenes, it's no wonder the good devs have either found their home and stay there or are mismanaged to hell, making them either quit or do a sloppy job cuz they're treated like shit. Oh, and the abundance of "devs" who can barely code for shit. Nepotism also happens. And that's not even mentioning the contract jobs, which are virtually all of them these days.
>>544860672>>544860531>The older Jen Taylor gets, the younger she soundsApparently Atriox isn't the only person to have mastered time travel.
>>544859778>show off 5% of the game>FEEDBACK PLSHow the fuck can we do that?
>>544861196Did Atriox really time travel to 100,000 BC?
>>544859778If my dealings with Blizzard and them asking for feedback means anything, what they actually want is for the "feedback" to just be jerking them off.
>>544861124So what's the solution?
>>544861196The Endless works in mysterious ways.
>>544860645Because CoD has 3 main dev teams, and assloads of support dev teams.Never heard the phrase "x studio got sent to the CoD mines"?Also it makes way more money than Halo.
>>544861196She does have a Little pip in her voice now as in CE/2/3 She has a Milf voice but in Halo 4 she has a more Teenage/Young Adult
>>544861639Make your own game. Or make enough money to start a small dev group and have them make your own game. Be the change you want to see. Either that or pull a Luigi on the people in charge, but that's obviously not gonna work for your favor.
How the fuck hasn't a modder created a Firefight gametype for Halo 3?
>>544863179Ultimate Firefight Series>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2898932491
So, the remake is using the Argus HUD from Halo 5? The one Linda had.
>>544863534anon this shit sucks because they added too much crap, they also shitted it up with halo wars, halo 4 crap along with it.
>>544863568That front sight is way too far back.
>>544863179Easier to just literally copy paste H3 stuff over into ODST because it natively supports firefight.
>>544858734He was in the right (wrong) place at the right (worst) time. He was a Bungie employee during the time of Halo 2 and 3 and got to weasel into a baby writing position so he could have a writer’s credit. When Microsoft announced they were taking halo he was on the ground floor next to Xbox executives that didn’t bother digging.>wowie! A writer for Bungie who worked on Halo? He’s the perfect man for the job. What could go wrong? He was likely talking to executives before they even had a position of franchise director. And Bonnie, bless her heart, didn’t have a clue what halo was so she didn’t know he was the worst man for the job
>>544863568How do you aim those sights at the target with such a big "nose" on the front of the barrel.
>>544865506You don't. It's like asking how do you aim with irons when you have another optic on your gun already.The hump is a scope that syncs up with your HUD.
>>544865809It's still a silly design, if you have scopes in your visors or whatever, then why have iron sights at all, and if they are back ups just in case, then have gun barrel be normal.
>>544859778You know, if they absolutely have to have Sprint in the game because of Gen Alpha or whateverWhy don't they have Sprint be a button that makes you go faster, you're still able to aim and fire, but your accuracy goes down
>>544838008I haven't come across that song beforeNice discovery to make on waking up
>>544853551Funny thing about those Terminals is that they had better lore in them than whatever the hell Bungie came up with outside of those Terminals.
>>544853132>Bungie was moving on from this shit and didn't care anymore>Halo fans still throw a fit about thisWhat the fuck is wrong with Halo fans?
>>544868264Bungie was trying to move on from Halo because they were exhausted, and were developing games of such high quality in a way that wasn't really sustainable at all. Halo fans loved the games they made and rightfully so.
>>544866996They just want to copy call of duty and follow trends. They're not actually trying to add meaningful new mechanics or innovate. Even the best new mechanic they added to Infinite (Grapple Shot) was because of a trend in other shooters at the time and even then they were late to the party. It's been in games since Quake and even Ocarina of Time, but it's only when other Modern AAA studios were adding it to their games (Overwatch, Titanfall 2, Battlefield) did they decide to copy it because it was 'safe' to do so. They couldn't even be bothered to make brand new assets despite it being a remake and not a remaster. They're not going to go out of their way to test a brand new mechanic like shooting while sprinting.
>>544868264The Bungie purists are way more deluded than 343i fans.
>>544868491>Halo fans loved the games they made and rightfully so.That's cool but why try to force someone to change their universe to another universe that isn't theirs nor do they own that version of said universe when it's not the same?
>>544868729>but whySheer hubris.
Halo: Campaign Evolved
>>544868729Honestly I can't parse what you're saying.
>>544869284Bungie and Microsoft have two different Halo universes that go their own paths 3babies know this but keep trying to force Microsoft to bring back Bungie's completed lore which doesn't work with their own lore for Halo. There could also be legal implications for that like with the Superintendent from ODST.
>>544842959Eh, he has a right more than most people. Plus flippant shitposting statements are things we'd all do if we were old Bungie employees who were well-off already.With that said, if they would just develop with greater integrity these discussions wouldn't have to happen. But with that said, maybe this was testing the waters to see if change was welcome and it'll change back.Could keep almost the same level design but build around it with alternate paths and encounters, put various attractions in those places for those that take time to explore. Still, it really is easiest to just be as faithful as possible. That's just as good as building new routes around the existing design.
>>544868729This is what 343 is doing to Bungie's universe.
>>544869518I get the bizarre sense that this is an admission from a 343i employee that they can't use Bungie's lore for legal reasons. Is it mild paranoia? or is my spider sense tingling...Anyway I don't see it as "Bungie fans want 343i to go back to the old lore" For me, the issue is that the new lore is just bad. Uncompelling. A dud. Doesn't land. Fails to interest me. There is no going back because after releasing Halo 4, you can't un-release that game and undo the cultural effect it had. 343i dropped a stinker and that put them in the position of having to earn back respect. Its not that they need to go back to Bungie's lore, its that they're in a really bad position where they're going to get mocked for releasing bad products and trying to sell them to a fanbase who didn't ever like *them* but liked the games made by their predecessor.
>>544870083343's universe isn't Bungie's universe, dumbass. Even Bungie's been saying they're separate universe since Reach.
>>544853551I was fascinated by the idea of Mendicant sending Chief to some Forerunner intelligence that could somehow perceive that act of helping him as atonementFor as odd as 4 looked at first I didn't expect 343's story to be so strange but Josh Holmes seems to have clarified how doomed they were from the start due to executive mandatesMaybe he didn't tell the truth or maybe he was just unafraid as Creative Director and later someone who left Microsoft anyway
>>544849568I often say similarly to >>544854254Just like you can add new/advanced behaviors to NPCs (even 343 managed to in Infinite - some good) you can do the same with weapons without making the game a full MilSim.Accuracy in exchange for speed is a good trade-off to balance things. I say similarly about letting people speed-up: add a meaningful accuracy penalty rather than restricting shooting entirely.
>>544870471I'm talking about the Halo universe. 343/MS went and retconned a bunch of stuff that Bungie had set up and ruined it (Like foreunners being human, but then changing them to aliens, thanks to Franky). If Bungie had kept working on Halo the games and the lore would be very different. They even messed up the art style going from 3/Reach to 4. They don't care about the universe Bungie created for Halo, they just want to use it for their own headcanon. You're talking about Nu-Bungie. Of course they couldn't take Halo with them. Of course they're separate from Microsoft/343. I never said they were the same universe.
>>544870415>Is it mild paranoia? or is my spider sense tingling...No that's just you having 0 understanding or knowledge about Halo's ownership.MS owned Halo since 2000. That means they own absolutely everything that ever touched the IP. Only thing that is legally dubious is the marathon symbol stuff and that destiny teaser from ODST (which is why a bunch of that was removed with MCC).
>>544871009Doubt.
Hate to tell you retards but the old lore is crap too. Babies first sci-fi.
>>544871209unfortunately very, very true.halo was always shit.
>>544871209Would you call Star Wars crap because it's Dune and Flash Gordon and Hidden Fortress and old WW2 films and so on and so on
>>544871316No I call star wars crap because it's crap.
>>544871209CE barely had any "lore", especially if you disregard novels and just take the game. Sure, it was a simple sci fi, which are all nonsense if you try to analyze them too critically. But it was a fun and sometimes scary romp. 2 and 3 added more shit that was probably not needed, and with more convoluted plots. Same problem with Half Life too, btw. HL1 - simple action romp through 90's secret labs and storage areas, HL2 - try hard dystopian sci fi.
The depth isn't the focus. 343 could easily have stayed more in-line with the existing lore and with the money made from that success, created a new IP that is far more free to have radically new ideas. We didn't even get the full suite of Forerunner combat tech or Ancient Humanity weapons for the trouble.
>>544871460Maybe you shouldn't be in Halo threads
>>544871209>>544871275It's fine. (Unlike Reach. Reach was glassed, after all)>>544871316This. And then whenever you try to ask these guys what they think is good, they either don't answer because they're too scared to have their tastes criticized or they give the same safe answers everyone else gives so they get a pass even if they're not actually that big of a fan of them.
>>544871209>>544871275This is a samefag baiting for (You)s. It worked.
Simple = BadNo, simple = good, not every piece of media needs to be a literary masterpiece. What made Halo good was the lack of information. You're stumbling blindly on this alien ring planet fighting aliens. That's fine. It doesn't need to be more than that. 343 went and actually tried to force to be more complex when it didn't need to be. I'd argue Halo 2 went too far as well trying to turn it into this big epic space opera. I'm glad 3 dialed it back. We don't need to be traveling across the galaxy every two missions.
>>544871665Halo isn't shit wars.
>>544872067desu if people associate the idea of "lore" with walls of text, I don't like lore
"Ah yes I overheard my prison guards who now speak english and are well informed about top level operations that this ringworld is called Halo and it is a superweapon, also they are trying to find the control room so we should find that too and control it so we can win." - Captain "exposition dump" Keyes.
>>544872067Halo 3 wouldn't have been half as good without the setup Halo 2 provided
Is this the halo thread?
>>544872354No, it's Bleach thread.
I say to myself that I like Halo 2's lore and story additions.Then I remember the Gravemind. I just can't take that thing fucking seriously.
Sonna...
>>544872287Good thing it was only a short cutscene. Unlike 4 and 5's melodrama. Even Halo 2 spoonfed us too much info.
I have friends everywhere.
Should I go to work at 8:00am if I’ve been up since 10:00pm
>>544872720The biggest problem with the Gravemind is the Little Shop of Horrors character model. The concept is great
The Best Halo Multiplayer Experience Since Halo 2 award goes to...
>>544872958Can you call in sick?Maybe you developed a case of diarrhea because of something you ate at a Halloween party
>>544872720Same. The stupid rhyming and slow-speaking quirk is too overdone in media. Sick of that trope whenever you're dealing with ancient, all-knowing characters.
I.Feel.Wonderful.
It's FINALLY up:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdUM_ArWP8o
>>544873165>The stupid rhyming and slow-speaking quirk is too overdone in media.I can't think of a single other character that speaks in trochaic heptameter
>544873319Not watching your video, Kelly.
>>544872975I hate that it talks, is traditionally intelligent and is the "leader" for the flood.>>544873165It makes the flood-forerunner war seem really silly. Because I guess these guys who built all this stuff and had no choice left but a galactic reset just couldn't find the giant snake plant dude and vaporize him?
>>544873862He can manifest anywhere there is enough of a Flood presence. Even CE makes it clear they can advance to stages unseen considering all the forms present in it. So the lingering question is: how far can the Flood evolve? They're basically a living weapons factory. Naturally no one wants to find that out first-hand.
>>544873862>I hate that it talks, is traditionally intelligent and is the "leader" for the flood.It could be scarier but on some level Halo is a bit camp.
>>544874080Was definitely meant to look more intimidating but a lot of stuff didn't reach their intended peak due to the cuts and Xbox limitationsLike anything spooky though it won't hit everyone the same just like I found Halo 1 Flood to be a tense experience but my friend actually got spooked enough to have to take a break and come back to itGranted half of that emotion is that you can die and get sent back compared to a movie that just keeps on going without you
>>544873862>I hate that it talks, is traditionally intelligent and is the "leader" for the flood.This. The flood are much more unsettling when they appear mindless but somehow have an objective. I'd rather we didn't hear them or gravemind speak but rather just do what they need to do. Watching these undead-like creatures somehow manage to get a ship off the the ground and fly to some unknown destination would be horrifying to watch.
>>544874451That makes me strangely nostalgic since my plot for 4 involved discovering them repairing a Frigate and having to get inside as it took off to destroy it from the inside.
>>544872720>>544873165The Gravemind speaking in verse is brilliant because being a part of the Flood is inherently meaningless, yet the Gravemind tries to make it sound elegant.
>>544874618Personally found the display of intelligence (along with puppeting Monitors and Prophets) to be nicely imposing. It just made sense to me considering CE's display of increasing intelligence and planning.>2004 gameNow if Bungie was making Halo 2 for a 2014 or 2024 release date, I wouldn't be surprised if they had it communicate in other ways that were more horrifying to most players, since the animations involved would be far more feasible.With that said, the idea of him "hacking" advanced armors to project an avatar/vision/symbols/text instead of directly speaking is a "simpler" option that could be terrifying if done well.
GOOD MORNING MINTO
>>544874451I still find this thing weirdly off putting.>get infected by the flood>if you know anything useful you get put into the command blob to be a flesh flight computer
I wonder if OS being absent in Campaign Evolved is because the devs are too stupid to fix Reach's broken fall damage.
>>544872993Whoever made this was born in 2005 and played Halo 4, 5 and 2 anniversary as his first games
>>544876103I don't mod Reach, what's broken about it?
>>544872720I always thought the Gravemind acted like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum and I liked it.>Wow this galactic threat is basically just a seething faggot mad over shit that happened eons ago. I really don't want to lose to this guy.
>>544875594Infection Form plushies... hmm...
>>544876337The "just be positive guys!" crowd is an unfortunate blight. I like Infinite Warefare but I can admit I have a bias for sci-fi while seeing why people would prefer CoD to be more modern day or historical instead after many successful games in those periods. It's really not hard to like something while acknowledging it isn't the best fit for Halo.
>>544876382It doesn't deal damage, it directly sets your shield to an amount relative to your velocity. Even the tiniest fall will get rid of your whole OS.I don't know if it's like that in ODST, too. Wouldn't surprise me.

>>544878832I hate how some of the tracks haven't been ripped at all. Especially the one just before you find Dare's helmet.
>>544885134The Halo community is really slack when it comes to ripping anything compared to other games I hang around with. Ripping models from Infinite solely rests on the back of a mentally ill turk for example, and it took 3 years.
>>544886024Wait, we still don't have an unpacker for the MCC?
>>544885134Based on what I just saw that track would be Proceed With Caution and it even carries on into the cutscene to an extent. Did you mean something else?
>>544886593Cheers, Anon. Didn't know that one was out.
>>544886128Decompiler? No, why would WE have that?It'll be nice for the community.Obviously, that won't happen.
>>544886873
>>544886024The Halo modding community sucks. There is basically no cooperation unless you're part of a "team." Even then, you're only collaborating on a single project and not working with others.
At least with the next game being unreal engine you can completely bypass all the egotistical and unstable faggots in the community and use all the existing unreal tools to pull assets from it.
remember, this is what a halo hater looks like now.. hating halo for the most part
>>544891339Halo has gone done the same route as Alien, Predator, Terminator, ect.As a whole it's mostly shit now but the good stuff is still good, but then it becomes a "hmm do I describe myself as a fan because I only like what is now a minority of the franchise" situation.
>>544891339Halo Wars should be "Good if you like RTS"
>>544891617probably not, because now it's just bitterness and hate, constant trashing of every new release with a lot of expectation and a quiet wish for the whole franchise to die so no one else can enjoy it just because you don't anymore, instead of accepting that the old days are gone and they can't offer you the same experience you keep expecting
>>544891339I also saw that pic posted on X. The guys proudly showing how they're against everything current.
>>544891339I would personally call Reach greatHalo Wars is great to me as a use of the Halo IP but I could accept good with Halo Wars 2 and Infinite either being good or just under itCEA, 4 and 5 are just very poor uses of the IP considering what they are (celebration of OG, new mainline games taking the story forward)>"that's just Halo" "too traditional" "our 'halo'"Stuff that spawns from that mentality is not stuff developed in good faith and can rightfully be dismissed OR kept for side-stuff if there's roomAnyway, a new Halo should simply look and sound at least as Halo as Wars/Infinite's campaign (these still permit a lot of flex for new things), should be as feature-packed as Reach was at launch, bring back non-ability gameplay and simply have playlist for ability gameplay on the sideIt's basically what Marcus should have arranged as a newly appointed Creative Director on Reach and even he later recognized that gameplay did not age the best, despite having more reason than anyone to be prideful and have an ego over defending that decisionPierre simply has to make a new mainline game that focuses on Halo first, trends second and that's easily facilitated by the fact that you can imitate so many other games in playlists on the side - 343/HS always had massive technical talent but the wrong priorities
>>544777918Anyway so the third chair getting taken while ticonderoga jammed the council's enforcer, MachineAndNerve, who has not once said thank you btw, just shows how much power The Nothing has over this general and I think We should be more concerned about it than We appear to be.

>>544821038Mihoyo, open world RPG
>>544891339>don't do your homework and get failing grades>get pushed to the next grade anyway with poor understandingThat's what the majority of 343i's content is in essence despite knocking some assignments out of the park. People want to act so positive about radical changes that didn't need to be made but if the devs were just positive about what already existed they wouldn't twist it or cut it for launch time and time again. By all means give me a cool new series that refines 343's style and is free to be so unlike Halo but the best way to raise funds for that is to focus in on Halo and restore its quality. Pic-related looks phenomenal despite the improvements that could be made and it's more than distinct enough to serve in a new series and if I can see that then people paid to think about games all day can too.
>>544876962Infinite Warfare was really good however. People were just tired of the futuristic scifi themed CoD at that point.
>>544891339>this is what a Halo hater looks nowNot much different from the so called "Real Fans" we had 15 years ago. Remember when people only cared about Halo 2 competitive? They can't even tell you what happens in the first level of the campaign, because they never touched it. Halo 2 was the downfall of the community.
>>544902483There's a non-insignificant number of Halo 1 fans who never bothered with the campaign.

>>544891339Based sister
>>544903869Not even, it's true for Xbox players too.
>>544893294Wanting a franchise to end because it is a reanimated corpse does not mean you don’t want anyone else to enjoy it. It’s okay for things to end.Especially when the spark has been dead so long and each game loses more and more fans. Every game dramatically changes direction, staff and vision. This isn’t misunderstood art. This is repeated and obvious failure and humiliation for Xbox. Xbox is on the verge of losing their console. Now Halo Studios are starting over entirely by remaking a remake of game from 2001 that somehow managed to outdo them in every way. Even when they straight up try to copy it they can’t do it right. Hell they changed their name because 343 is associated with chaos and failure
>>544902483well now I know the halo community has been.. complicated from the very start
>>544863534>ultimate jeetslopGo back.

>>544863534>having fun with halopls don't go back
>>544902483It’s so funny to me that 343 consistently chased and has remained extremely loyal to the always niche and ever-dwindling hyper competitive halo crowd when their ultimate goal is the wider audience. Competitive gamers follow the casual crowd. Not the other way around.
>>544905612They have? They made Halo 4 and forced Halo 5 to have AR starts and radar. Infinite is a series of shitty compromises, too.
>>544783865You forgot>with worse gunplay and handlingBecause apparently it's running off of Reach - UE5 is just grafix - and Reach felt disgusting to play
>>544905926They’ve always tried they just didn’t have any idea of how to win them over. They saw vocal minority of Reach players during launch cycle that were pissed about the DMR and that was one of the first things they changed when they took over Reach. With Halo 4 I don’t remember I wasn’t paying attention but with Halo 5? Absolutely. Surely you’ve seen the memes about halo 5’s marketing campaign? And they always have been begging and pleading esports players to keep halo esports alive. Xbox funded HCS. Even the reveal of nuCE was advertised during HCS which no one actually cares about but 343 is still trying with that crowd.

>>544909574For sure. It is kind of funny they are still chasing the call of duty crowd when call of duty is on a massive decline. It’s like they’re whole business model is survey data from 2010.
>>544908585Flood was working out?
>>544909294Reach's TU made a lot of changes that the community wanted, and made way more changes to stuff that wasn't even used in MLG at the time.Halo 4 is the furthest removed game from competitive in the series, just behind Reach.Halo 5 was lip service at best. They wanted esports viewership, but still wanted people to play the aforementioned AR/radar/spartan charge settings for money.>Even the reveal of nuCE was advertised during HCSBecause that's the closest 343 or Microsoft had to their own event to show shit. They probably didn't have anything ready for not-E3 this past summer.
>>544910205>50 minutesThey just keep getting longer
what's he so vexed about?
>>544910215I fully acknowledge they didn’t succeed. But it was one of their objectives. I think with Halo 4 they just assumed competitive players would return because it had halo on the box. So they did nothing. They were horrified when that didn’t happen and sloppily chased after them ever since. They also wanted to make a good game and not exist in Bungie’s shadow and well. Uh. Anyway that seems to be the only community they really try to appease and watching them fail at it is at least fun to watch.
it's not over for halo
It’s over for halo

>>544870980Halo-era Bungie were done with the series by Halo 3, and since they were giving it all to Microsoft, they didn't give a shit what lore Microsoft created because it wasn't their Halo, it was Microsoft's Halo. In other words, Halo split into two different universes. One is Bungie's and one is Microsoft's. Bungie has been very clear about this, grow a pair and mature and realize Microsoft's Halo isn't Bungie's Halo end at Reach like Bungie did. Or accept this new universe without complaint. You're never getting Bungie's universe back which already ended with Reach. This shit happens all the time in either full or soft-reboots when a new studio/company takes over. Stop making arguments that they must be one. Smart Halo fans left after Reach.
>>544915831none of that would matter if you had the balls to plug in a mic

>>544916113>realize Microsoft's Halo isn't Bungie's HaloHalo will NEVER be Microsoft's or 343's. It will always be listed as 'Stolen' (Spelled in red letters with a red hand icon) in their inventory. They didn't pay nearly enough for it to be able to abuse something so beloved. They didn't earn it, nor will I accept them as the caretakers of Halo.>accept this new universe without complaint.No, I don't think I will. And I will continue to complain about it until they make it more like Bungie's Halo. And soetimes the complaining works (We finally get the option to disable sprint in Infinite customs, and 343 added a disable sprint option in Campaign Evolved. They even brought back grenade jumping/physics after initially removing it from Infinite) The new Halo stuff from 343 (Infinite/Reboot) already looks more like Halo compared to their work on 4 and 5 thanks to the changes in art style. Maybe with enough complaining they will even make changes to the lore (They already abandoned their initial Halo 5 story and tried to wrap things up before Infinite even happened, which was better than having an actual Halo 5 sequel, I'm glad they skipped it and went with the Banished story.)>You're never getting Bungie's universe back which already ended with ReachEverything lorewise after 3 is just fanart, fan mods, and fan headcanon that 343 and MS come up with. They're interesting to try because they're labeled 'Halo' (Just like other mods/fan content) but not to be taken seriously. Have you seen the Paramount TV show? I haven't, but it sounds like a hilarious dumpster fire if it wasn't so sad how poorly the source material was consulted. I don't mind fan content like this existing because it's easy to brush off and ignore if you're not interested. We can live with Bungie's games being the real canon. But there's no harm in trying out silly or interesting fan projects (such as Halo Infinite or Campaign Evolved).

>>544921067>StolenSomething can't be stolen if it was sold to them as far back as the year 2000. Bungie is mature enough to see their Halo as their Halo while not associating Microsoft's Halo with their work. Maybe you need to grow a pair and mature like them.>No, I don't think I willThat's cool, this is why Halo CE-Reach are here, you get Bungie's completed universe>I will continue to complain about it until they make it more like Bungie's HaloThat's never going to happen, Bungie's Halo ended with Reach>343 added a disable sprint option in Campaign EvolvedThrough a skull>They even brought back grenade jumping/physics after initially removing it from InfiniteThat's been gone since 4>Everything lorewise after 3 is just fanart, fan mods, and fan headcanon that 343 and MS come up withIt's a different universe with the same name and characters
>>544923029>>544921067do you guys like anime
Just show respect for the IP you were fortunate enough to find yourself working on. It's really that easy.
We all enjoy anime here. My favorite is Bleach of course.
We know, Baza.
>>544925761The same people who shit on Halo 3's Bubble Shield will praise Halo Reach's Armor Lock. Mental illness.
>>544923250>animeNigger.
>>544923250Yeah, have some recommendations:>Halo Legends>Uma Musume Cinderella Grey>Kuroko's Basketball>Overlord>Girls und Panzer>The Big O>Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?
I know it was a failure of a game, but did Halo 5 get right? And no being better than another shit game is not getting something right.
>>544921854I love grunts so much
>>544926145which anime is that
We know, Boypilled.
>>544926387Are you joking or being for real? I want to get into anime.
What would you change about Halo 3?
>>544925962This. Reach's armor lock is fun to use, but not fun to fight against. And it messes up BTB because it discourages splatters.Drop Shield on the other hand is kino, and more Halo than Armor Lock.
>>544923250No we like tokusatsu like Halo The Series, Nightfall, and Forward Unto Dawn.
Now that 343 has failed twice, how would (You) go about paying service to the very specific art style and vibe of Halo Combat Evolved on the original Xbox in a new game specifically?
>>544923250Yes
>>544927494>failed twiceBit more than that buddy.
Halo will never come back. And that is fine.
>>544926918I enjoyed all of those, but you're better off picking something that looks interesting to you.
>>544849113>There's nothing modern about it. It's a dated mechanic that instantly makes you think of Call of Duty.THANK YOULiterally being saying this since Reach. It's well past used by date.
>>544923250
Halo will come back. And that is bad.
>>544927494Every single model in the original games, just with higher resolution textures. No changes to the shape, no extra surface details, no nothing. There's no reason to change the aesthetic, that wasn't a result of technical limitations.
>>544927103>webmouch
>>544927103Chief's movements look so awkward.
>>544777918It's going to be really gay if they remake all the old halos by sticking all the old levels over Halo Infinite. Infinite has a nice feel but it plays pretty different than those games, most notably Elites suck in that game and they need to be strong in a CE remake
>>544928256THAT WAS MY KILL YOU FUCK
>>544929061Youtubers are saying it feels more like Halo Reach. We will see.

>>544929494Based. On the rare chances I feel like playing Halo 2, one of these guys always has a fiesta or swords custom game going. They are some of the most dedicated Halo fans. /hg/ will rave on and on about 2 and shit on 3 and 1, but they never play it. They are fake Halo 2 fans.
I noticed that the CaE Elites are tall and tower over Chief but when they fight him, they crouch to his level as to look as if they're the same hight, that's cool.
>>544928096Based
>>544929802>Insert the SMG in all levels. Make it as common as the AR.Holy Based. My favorite gun to use in campaign and multiplayer even if there are better alternatives.

>>544947825She has nice titties though.
>>544946906if it doesn't look like Mt. Rainier it's not halo
>>544946906honestlythe pistol animations looks so fucking bad. its got there unreal feeling, kind of like the way outer worlds weapons felt and those felt like they barely changed from unreals demo weapons
>>544946906it's beautiful but it's not Halo. >>544948018 is on point. Halo 1 was pretty much all Tioga biome. It looked like a rocky coast of Washington.It's like how Ford remade the Bronco but didn't try to resemble the original at all. I understand modern safety standards, but it's literally anything but a Bronco. They didn't even try.
Looking back on it, it's really mind boggling how they released Infinite in such a retarded way. Let's drop the multiplayer for free but give it beta tier playlist options and then the paid campaign a month later, but also for free in a subscription service. What were they thinking?I remember my friends and everyone else scrambling to play the multiplayer for a few days and then it got completely memory holed. If I check on steam now I genuinely only have one friend that owns the Infinite campaign, but 20+ friends that own MCC.
>>544951932they did that because the game wasn't finished, so their best attempt was to bullshit everyone by claiming it was a f2p so you couldn't complain abotu the lack of missing features or super expensive skinsIm pretty sure the campaign sales did NOT recoup their development costs either so it was a win win for 343 and microsoft
>>>/sp/151743630
>>544953146>doyers or canada's teamCan both of them die in a plane crash or something?
I want to see them making one unified multiplayer for all the Remakes.Kind of like MCC but without having all the different games or kind of like how Activision throw all the assets from the newest CODs into WarzoneImagine one massive halo multiplayer with all the sandbox weapon, equipment, vehicles, powerups, maps, gametypes (Also add stuff from other halo games like the sticky detonator from H4 or falcon from Reach aspostlaunch content)Imagine being able to queue slayer and you that week they have Guardian, Foundry, Battle Creek, Damnation, Ascension, Lockout and I can see how this could be redundant but they could change up the map weapons for each map like in Lockout you get the H2 map weapons but in Blackout (H3 remake of Lockout) you get a H3 map weapons
Cortana has gotten some new upgrades for the "modern audience"...

>>544956372But celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder is based and funny.
>>544953770This is such a great idea that I sincerely doubt its going to happen. 343i and Microsoft will find a way to fuck it up.

I need boichest
do you guys think they'll at least add firefight to the remake?
lol gay
>>544966427100% sure, why not
>>544966427Why would they do that?
I would love firefight on CE
I wouldn't.
CEbros hate this one simple trick.
In every single mods and vanilla, that part is a pain in the ass.This shit drags on for 7 minutes, btw.

>>544974218What exactly?
>>544977089*giggle*It's so cute!
>>544972352It needs red lights/display and a suppressor to become the ultimate CE mod weapon cliche. Dunno if SPV3 has one of those, haven't played it in god knows how long.
N-No it's...!!It's just cold in here!! It's not normally like that!!!
>>544975894QRD?
>>544977321>Dunno if SPV3 has one of thoseIt does on the BR.
>>544977321Havok has a red display AR with a shotgun attachment.
>>544953770Legitimately how is that different from mcc in any relevant way
I'm not convinced they will actually be remaking all 3
>>544981284halo 3 anniversary is getting remade eventually one way or another, but it might not be from 343
they're called Halo Studios
>>544977578>>544977321There's suppressed variants for the SMG, Sniper Rifle, Pistol and I think even the DMR too. It's pretty great. The BR and AR also have grenade launcher variants.
>>544982139Do they not alert enemies? That is the biggest failing of ODST's weapons. The second biggest is not giving the AR its own damage type so it has no negative multiplier against shields.
snoop dog loves halo Reach
