Say something nice about Halo 4 and Halo 5
The Endless has arrived
>>545479241I can't tell if this is better or worse than a 69 edition
>>545479120>720p was ass and worth the downgrade>Obviously the real blame is the Xbox One architecture, but the idea that the beta just looked better in every singke way is a mythAnd then Halo Infinite was built for Xbox One architecture

>>54547947669 is outdatedwe have 67 now, and we got a thread for that
November... I am forgotten.
I’m so tired, even Halo can’t keep me awake.
>>545479619Unironically.And to think people were worried about it being a hit.A year after launch more people will still be playing MCC.
>>545479685>>545479619Whatever happened to Digsite?
>>545479790They thought they were serious devs despite agreeing to do it for free, and burnt themselves out doing a self imposed deadline for H2 E3 thing.So they quit.
Since CEmake is on Unreal, it will be easily moddable and have a fan patch to fix it within the month.
>>545479963literally every freelance internet group/artist/whatever inevitably follows this trendIt's not that big of a deal though because digsite was ultimately underwhelming and didn't come close to living up to people's expectationsThe version of Macworld CE that lives in people's minds was always going to be more magical
>>545480382>It's not that big of a deal though because digsite was ultimately underwhelming and didn't come close to living up to people's expectationsWhat were the best things to come out of it?
>>545480382The Halo fanbase as a weird fascination with cut content being this golden treasure trove of good ideas that Bungie was too stupid to use.When in reality it was cut becasuse it was shit. Or it was just a bunch of lies that never existed in the first place (forerunner tank).
>oh boy it's Valhalla it's almost impossible to fuck this up>removed all the rifle spawns, the missile launchers, and the splaser and left all the vehicles and sniper riflesIf I could choke a corporation to death I would squeeze the life out of Microsoft
>>545480918That is a pretty big misrepresentation of "wow this game is 2 years behind in development and we don't have time to finish anything"
>>545480918>>545481703People only really wanted the Halo 2 cut content and original script on the Halo 2 Collectors Edition DVD >Level 1Chief: Cairo station>Level 2Chief: Covenant Ship (CUT)>Level 3Chief: New Mombasa>Level 4Arbiter: Gas Giant and Alpha Moon (CUT)>Level 5Chief: Delta Halo>Level 6 Arbiter: Quarantine Zone (Most of it was CUT)>Level 7Chief: Forerunner Tank (CUT)>Level 8Chief: High Charity with Warthog Run finale>Level 9Arbiter: Delta Halo Control Room (Halo 2 Retail Ending)>Level 10 Chief: Earth Ark (CUT)>EpilogueCortana in Flood-infested High CharityRoughly 20% of the geometry developed for alphamoon was later reused in the final game in the end zone of Sacred Icon and the later Quarantine ZoneEarth Ark was fully blocked out and in some way implemented in-game. The level was to involve a fight with two Scarabs - something later seen in storyboards for later revisions of The Great Journey before ultimately being realised in Halo 3's The Covenant mission
What happened to Halo 3 CE?
The earliest docs are very interesting to read, as some story elements are locked in as early as June 1999 (such as Reach having been attacked by the Covenant, the ship you are on being named Pillar of Autumn, your AI assistant being Cortana, arriving and crashing on Halo, etc.) while other elements were in a constant state of flux. Even who you were as a character was not settled until very late—evolving from a Marine carrying Cortana into a nameless clone soldier, then changing into the vat-grown “Specialist,” and ultimately to the Master Chief.Cut levels per a "Key Plot Points" document from Joseph Staten dated 01-24-2001A10: Retail “The Pillar of Autumn”A20: Combined with A30. This looks to have been the crash-landing area and “natural formation” tunnel entrance.A30: Retail “Halo,” but most of the guerrilla war elements were scoped out (cut) when merged with A20.A40: Attack on a Covenant excavation site. Engineers would have been introduced here. There was a light bridge in this map and Forerunner tunnels, but we don’t know specifics.A50: Retail “Truth and Reconciliation” but played out differently. Entire section dealing with Prophet arrival was cut. Keyes originally learned the Covenant plan from watching the Prophet's "pre-arrival address" rather than somehow listening in on the guards’ prison conversation.B10: Prophet assassination mission. Recover keys to the Control Center.B20: With a Prophet dead, the Covenant military accelerates occupation of Halo and campaign against the human resistance forces. Exterior incorporated into C10.B30: After Keyes gives a rallying speech, you are led into retail “The Silent Cartographer.” The actual objective changed over time, eventually settling on this being a map room.
>>545483346B40: Retail “Assault on the Control Room.” One version of this map took place around a volcano (sorry, Spy Kids) where the Covenant was trying to break into the Control Room with a proto-Scarab.C10: Retail “343 Guilty Spark” but the swamp was glassed before arrival.C20: Retail “The Library.”C30: Activate the Ring's orbital defenses and call down particle beam strikes.C40: Retail “Two Betrayals.”D10: Escape from Sentinels. Stunt-filled action extravaganza ending. This was partly repurposed into retail D40 as the Warthog run.D20: Retail “Keyes.”D30: Cortana calls all surviving Marines to retake the UNSC Pillar of Autumn. Everyone against everyone. We adapted this for the final mission of Fireteam Raven.D40: Retail “The Maw.” In many versions (including late versions that have dialog recorded) you escaped on a lifepod instead of a Longsword.
>>545481959long story short they pulled their mod out of spite because of the official remakemod author threw a shitfit over the campaign evolved announcement. from what ive seen they were trying to get hired by halo studio but apparently lacked experience with the unreal engine. apparently they really took issue with being called a hypocrite for calling the remake a lazy infinite asset swap while their own mod could be argued as a halo3/odst asset swap. so yeah troon gonna troon
>>545484329>making mods to get hired or get just patreon grift instead of just making them for the hell of it
>>545481959The tranny crashed out.
Making mods for Halo is fucking shit. It's not like "tee hee I added a new weapon to Sierra 117 for people to use :)" and more "I am now doing the job of a dozen full time employees from 20 years ago and have no support".
>>545485034>"I am now doing the job of a dozen full time employees from 20 years ago and have no support".Explain this
>>545481959Real Halo 3 CEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQunRLrPLRM
>>545485034Yeah, but you are not forced to do it.
Halo 2 needs a remake
>>545485184The mod tools are really shitty to work with and there is fuck all documentation available.
>>545481959Nothing, it's on the workshop.
>>545479353I still sometimes masturbate to Halo 4 Cortana
>>545485184>>545485519 this and Halo's engine just isn't modular at all (until H5), let's say you want to do something simple like "Master Chief uses Mark V in Halo 2", you have to recompile every campaign map and upload it them as a 10gb download modded campaign that is exactly the same but Master Chief is different looking.When all you did was swap out less than 5mb of data.
Bros, I beat Cairo Station on LASO. This shit is so fucking painful will finish the campaign no matter what
>>545486478>ultras with 11.9 billion hp piloting vehicles soon
>>545486361>"Master Chief uses Mark V in Halo 2", you have to recompile every campaign map and upload it them as a 10gb download modded campaign that is exactly the same but Master Chief is different looking.What's wrong with each map being self-contained?
>>545486361Halo 2 at least had a shared.map where you could make weapon changes and not need to rebuild the entire game.
>>545486746It's fine for consoles because it cuts down on loading times by having redundant data, but it is really shitty for modding. The sole benefit is not having to worry about anything conflicting, at the cost of even the tiniest changes being gigantic downloads and needing to spend time recompiling everything for the most miniscule changes.
>>545486746It's actually good for consoles (well when they had disks and hard drives) but it's obsolete and extremely shit for modding.I really wish MCC was built on how the tagbuilds work.
>>545486478Don't be afraid to exploit every dirty trick in the book, you can do it
>>545487212>I really wish MCC was built on how the tagbuilds work.There are problems that can arise there, like people swapping out tags in a multiplayer setting.I think a better solution would be something to patch maps ala classic Doom, overwriting the original map's data when conflicts happen, but using the base map's tags for anything else.
Could GC handle Halo?
>>545487985The Xbox barely could.
You know I just remembered that the macworld and e3 2000 builds of Halo 1 got leaked.
>>545488384>You know I just remembered that the macworld and e3 2000 builds of Halo 1 got leaked.QRD?
>>545488408They were in the digsite leak. There's just nothing to do except the bare minimum of what could be considered "gameplay".
What are the current issues and bugs in MCC?
>>545480918It was cut because they ran out of time and resources to make it good, not because it was bad by default. A properly stencil-shadowed Halo 2 would have looked prettier, more technologically impressive, and more accurate than Halo 3's lighting/dynamic shadows. Also, keep in mind that even the dynamic shadows we got in 3 are partially 'fake'. They're not rendered completely or accurately, but they're believable enough for you to not notice.
>>545490205Post Halo engine and technical kino
>>545480918Cut content is interesting. I like to see what ideas didn't make it, for whatever reason they were cut. I like to see the iterative design process. It's cool to see the original vision of a design before compromises need to be made.

Halo.
>>545490205And would have also required a magic xbox to exist.
>Prophets are Jews>The cannon fodder enemies are literally named unGOY>The loyal elites are replaced with literal monkeys>the Prophets replacement of the Elites as their personal guard with the Brutes causes tensions between the Brutes, Elites, and Prophets to reach a tipping point>the arrival of Chief onto High Charity is the spark that ignites the powder keg between the Brutes and Elites>the Prophets can be seen as orthodox Jews who see the highly organized and high culture of the Elites as a threat to their power and replace them with the less organized and more savage Brutes as a stability play>the Elites can be seen as a representation of Western Civilization and the white race>the Brutes can be seen as a representation of the lower and mixed races>despite everything, the arbiter still tried to show tartarus and the brutes the truth. He didn’t hate them, and recognized that the brutes has been fooled just as the elites had been. Even in the end, the arbiter didn’t hate Tartarus>Tartarus after hearing an “oracle” of the Covenant’s very gods explain the truth, he blindly still follows Truth’s instructions, and Arbiter gave him enough chances. It shows the dichotomy of the 2. They started off the same, both fanatical followers, but Arbiter goes through things that shake and changes his belief, even if he still views the Forerunners as some kind of gods, he knows that the Covenant’s interpretation of things is false, yet Tartarus doesn’t change, showing his faith wasn’t truly to the gods, but the Prophets, even when an “oracle” of the gods confirms his beliefs false. He even threatens and roughly throws and miss handles said “oracle”, showing further his lack of respect for the gods>Arbiter finds a Forerunner tomb that has a human skeleton in it, learns the truth completelyWhat did Bungie mean by this?

Did Bungie like Nintendo?Carmack's original big tech breakthrough was used to do reproduce SMB3 on computers, Romero asked Kemco to make the GBC version of Daikatana like Zelda, and Tom Hall's Anachronox was mirrored after Japanese design sensibilities, not western. And I recall Romero's favorite game is Chrono Trigger.
>did bungie like bing bing wahootheir games were good so no
>>545494043Cope. Hardy LeBel loves Nintendo> My goal was to make a fun party game with shooter mechanics. I wanted a shooter Nintendo would have been proud to release :-DHalo 2 had tons of development issues and the multiplayer was going in a radically different direction than the first until Max Hoberman was the Halo 2 multiplayer and online design for Halo 2 and Halo 3 and had to argue to get the arena multiplayer mode in. Bungie didn't really take it seriously though, they all nicknamed Max's version of multiplayer "Mario Kart" or "party game".
>>545494043That's right, Nintendo was a big influence on them. Marty O'Donnel also correctly credited SM64 with defining the 3D platformer as a genre and setting the standard.
actually bungie was asked their thoughts on nintendo games in an interview with IGN"FUUUCK!! I HATE IT!!" - Joseph Staten"FUUUCK!! I HATE IT!!" - Marty O'Donnell"FUUUCK!! I HATE IT!!" - Jaime Griesemer"FUUUCK!! I HATE IT!!" - Max Hoberman"FUUUCK!! I HATE IT!!" - Paul Bertone
>>545494413What about the droid attack on the wookiees?

>>545496597not him but you guys really show your gts on a place like 4chan? that doesn’t make you even a little nervous?
>>545480561>What were the best things to come out of it?Unironically the leak. Specifically the Bungie design and tech documents and the maxtools. The shit the digshite and 343fags wanted to keep to themselves. And seeing those faggots Sean and General get humiliated. Sweet.>>545490205>It was cut because they ran out of time and resources to make it good, not because it was bad by default.Most of it was, though. With exception of a couple of levels, we're better off without most of it. Those weapons and vehicles were bad ideas.
>>545497257Look like he didn't beat the Halo demo.
>>545493320>calls their ship "truth and reconciliation">multi-ethnic faction genociding the overwhelmingly white humanity>developed and published at the end of the South African Truth and Reconciliation commissionWhat did Bungie mean by this?
>>545493690Forced
>>545497049Looks like Tyrone got here first unfortunately
>And the Forerunners, where are they now?
>>545497257Are the maxtools even usuable? I didn't feel like relearning 3ds max and trying to get them to export to a game I don't want to mod.
>>545495340>covers up nameSmart. Do not trust the people on /hg/. Don’t allow anyone on 4chan to know the name unless you make a separate throwaway account
>So youSo you
>>545497257I wish they had H4 technical manuals and stuff too. Anything to knock Alexis down a peg or two in regards to knowledge hoarding.
GOOD MORNING MINTO
Halo was not a lightning in a bottle.
That's right, it was a fart in the wind.
plz add halo 5 to mcc and port it to playstation with crossplay
niggas be playin gaylo lmao
>>545500720Go back to your straw hut, Shona. This general is for humans only.
true niggas don't play halo. you know who plays that shit? gay niggas.
Why does nobody mod and create custom maps for Halo 3 and 4?
>>545501349i thought there were a few h3 maps?
>>545501349no server.exe so the demand for it is ultimately imposed by microsoft
>>545500392you don't know ball>>545500720crazy that Chad daddy won in the end
>>545501349Not sure. Sad though because Halo 3 specifically had so much stuff during the short lived eldewrito phase.
>>545498771>Are the maxtools even usuable?With some wrangling and using specific versions, yeah. It's esoteric and stupid, but, that's the Bungie tools in general.>>545499708>I wish they had H4 technical manuals and stuff too.>Anything to knock Alexis down a peg or two in regards to knowledge hoarding.For sure. When you read through the lines, half the meltdown of the Cucksite team was them realizing they're no longer special for having this info, ragequitting over it. Doing the same to Alexis would be... magnificent.
>>545498508(You)
How do I become in charge of /hg/?This place has so much potential, but you need a true leader to call the shots.What you have right now isnt working
>>545502339First you must infiltrate the councilSecond you must impregnate that councilThird you must hold them to account in the thread, publicly, with proof, so that you may show everyone who has done who.Only then will you have a chance at leadership.Halo 3 is still the best Halo by the way. This really shouldn't be a debate. Halo was HUGE in 2007.

>>545502880Forced
>>545503050It's entirely possible.There are some big hits next year and I doubt anybody en masse has Halo at the top of their list.Also, keep in mind that next year is going to showcase a MASSIVE late-gen migration from PS4 to PS5. A large amount of current console gamers are still on gen 8 machines because the games they overwhelmingly play are available on them, but they will make the switch for GTA6. If they/their parents make a console and game purchase, and they still throw another game on after that, it's less likely to be CEmake as opposed to Modern Warfare 4, RE9, etc.
>>545503247Fucking. This.Real Talk, can we just, like, stop posting aaaiiieeee?Seriously, it's just not funny anymore. You look embarrassing when you do it. You are not contributing anything. All you're doing is making yourself look desperate while bringing nothing of value to the table.This is a turning point. Let's make history. Either respond with substance of FUCK. OFF.Just fucking stop. Period.
>>545503050Next year is probably one of the worst times to launch a shooter ever too. It genuinely would need to launch in like, Q1 and we know it's not going to because it'll be November for the 25th anniversary. Which puts it in with GTA VI and MW4, so it's going to be fucking buried.

>>545505760How do we get MCC on PS5?They're getting super cucked by this move and deserve real Halo at least also
>>545505871>How do we get MCC on PS5?I swear that there were rumours about exactly that. Weren't the jewtubers talking about it for a while?
>>545505640Even the direhard spartan profile picture dudes that buy everything Halo aren't enough to sustain anything. Those fuckers have dropped more on dressing up their spartans on infinite than the cost of the latest $70 AAA slop and it still got gutted down to an outsourced skeleton crew.
>>545505778Traitors get the first bullet.
>>545505956It was HEAVILY rumored for over a year, but it seems like M$ wants to move on from classic Halo entirely now and leave MCC to die.They have a directive that says they can't invest in new projects if there is no in-game revenue generation and MCC doesn't have it. Disinterest in the Gears remaster may also have played a role.But in all honesty it's probably that MCC is just a janky mess and nobody is around at HS anymore that knows how to even work with itThey want a NEW united multiplat multiplayer experience that doesn't have to share with another game like MCC that doesn't have microtransactions. If I were to guess, some M$ suits blame MCC for "taking away" from potential infinite store purchases. MCC has more players than Infinite.
>>545505956I'm pretty convinced there was some loose plans for it back when they were 343i since it kept popping up now and then.But since the rebrand they seem to be pretty set on moving into the "a brand new Halo experience" direction.

>>545514248bookshit
>>545514907Halo 3 has 2 levels that are better than anything else in the series, but everything else is below what we had come to expect based on CE and 2.>inb4 muh TsavoMid as fuck
>>545514248Blame Bungie for being overly ambitious to a retarded degree and then straight up lying at E3 by saying what was shown wasn't "smoke and mirrors", only to rushjob what they could in under a yearHalo 2 is still my favorite game in the series, but we have nobody else to blame for what was/wasnt in it
>>545515503Doesn't help that their project lead that wanted to actually do Halo 2 got bored and fucked off to China a couple of months in.
>>545515975I wonder if China is actually worth the visit if you have the money
>>545515310>but everything else is below what we had come to expect based on CE and 2and I think you have a very lofty idea of CE and 2s levels if we are going off of the metric of whats mid, as half of both games levels are mid to awful.>CELibrary, 2 betrayals, keyes, the maw (besides the warthog run)>2gravemind, sacred icon/quarantine zone, uprising, high charity, great journeyhalo 2 especially only has like 2 great mission, that being outskirts/metropolis and delta halo/regretHalo 3 has only one bad mission and one kinda mid one (Cortana, Tsavo) every other mission is great and the game has 2 of the best missions in the entire series

>>545516148betrayals is peakgravemind is peakCortana is terriblestop reddit spacing
Halo 3's missions are polished to mediocrity with only Cortana standing out for being so shit. 2 and CE have great and also terrible missions.
>>545519864Floodgate is also a turd.Funny how the 2 shit flood levels used to be the same level but then got split in two when the original Cortana mission died.
>>545492360Looks like Marathon(Shit.)
>>545504695Based

>>545493320I sincerely don't think Bungie were trying to do that direct of a commentary on current events, at most Joseph Staten probably put some of his personal hangups about his father being a preacher in the story...but man does Halo hit different post-Obama, when demographic changes and systematic double standards became a major talking point.
>>545516148Two betrayals is kino where you have flood and covenant fight each other, Ruby makes it even more kino when he adds human allies.Library is boring shit, and even Ruby makes it better only marginally. Never liked Keyes or the Maw, I will admit.
>>545523324>I sincerely don't think Bungie were trying to do that direct of a commentary on current eventsSome stories have universal themes, you can point at practically any period of history and draw parallels. Nothing actually changes except the words.
>>545524716If you don't like The Library, you don't like Halo's combat. It is one of the few times in the entire series where you truly feel overwhelmed.
>>545525647>you truly feel overwhelmed.Sure, but map design is not fun.

>>545527017the opinions of bungie devs are mostly worthless since CE and 2 are the result of unintentional development hell, and then everything after that is being done under contract just so they can get away from halo entirely.I'm grateful to them for what they did, but I don't give a shit about their opinions.
>>545528298This."Reach is our best campaign"lol fuck off
me when i rape yeeze
It's important to have the correct mindset about campaign v multiplayer. That being that a true Halo game is a campaign experience first and foremost.I'd be perfectly fine with the CE remake having firefight or some other PvE mode as its "multiplayer" offering for this reason.Halo CE/1 had multiplayer thrown in the game in the last few months of development for the same reason any multiplayer was in a console game at the time, it was just expected to be there. The campaign WAS the game, and the multiplayer was extra. Now, it did turn out to be really good and pretty addicting, but it's important to understand that this existed in mostly a party game atmosphere. Yes, there were comp tournaments, but they are not representative of the average Halo CE multiplayer session.Halo 2, or really rather Xbox Live, changed this, and set this unrealistic standard of Halo multiplayer being the face of the series. It was never meant to last, but it stuck, even as CoD 4 and onwards drained the popularity 3 years later.tl;drA PVE-only game is sorely needed at this point to correct this wrongdoing and artificial ballooning of Halo's multiplayer to be its core identity.
>>545528858You won, but at what cost?
>twelve days>not even reaching 1.5 million viewsWe're gonna make it bros. Nufags btfo.
PVP is the only reason Halo is BIG.
>>545528940The release of the Remake Reveal was unexpected, unfortunate. But, there is no need to panic. In truth, this is a time to rejoice. A moment that all Halo fans should savor. For the campaign-only future is secured. With it, our path forward is clear, our entry into a corrected Halo future where the two modes are seperate is guaranteed.The PvE future of Halo is nigh, and nothing, not even the snoys, can stop it.

>>545524716>Two betrayals is kino where you have flood and covenant fight each other, Ruby makes it even more kino when he adds human allies.Its not the worst in CE that easily goes to keyes being the worst level in the game, but it is very flawed. fighting backwards through a level you already ran through and a level which wasnt the best the first time either gets tiresome. Ruby did improve it though for me so ill give him credit where its due.It also has the same issue like all of the flood levels besides 343 where they spawn you with a loadout thats not very helpful and makes the first part of all these levels a chore to get through.
Wow chuds don't you realize that everything in the remake is clearly placeholder assets.
>>545531225>it is very flawed. fighting backwards through a level you already ran through and a level which wasnt the best the first time either gets tiresome.

>>545531225>Ruby did improve it though for me so ill give him credit where its dueI take this back actually as I was reminded of the flood cavern encounter he ruined and the large covenant flood battle at the end he also ruined
>>545531225I mean, walking backwards in the same level is not that fun, but still, it's not the so bad either.I kind of wanted to see Cartographer or Halo levels but with Flood, maybe from Covenant perspective, when humans are gone from those areas, if madders could do that.

Halo Campaign Evolved is getting a lot of attention
Define "a lot".
I don't think anyone cares about Campaign Redeemed.
>>545540903Enough to keep the thread alive
People talk about the campaign evolved forerunner stuff being all clean and shiny.Meanwhile I wonder why they've gone back to H4 and H5 where it's all just fucking chrome. Bungie used gold, brass, pewter, ect metal tones for forerunner architecture.
>>545525647Library is almost really good. Each individual combat sequence is really exciting. It just turns from excitement and slight horror vibes to monotonous. Routine alleviates the tension and you check out by the end. It either needed to delete one of the floors and be a quick and unexpected punch in the face of a level or it needed to be a lot longer with radically different transition areas to reset the player mentally.I know they ran out of time so it is understandable why m the launch version is the way that it is, but it is fun to think about the different ways to fix it. Different aesthetics every floor. Even something as simple as like the lights are out on the second floor. You can’t see a thing so you have to rely on your flashlight and maybe Spark’s flashlight. I really like Halo 2’s Library a lot and I was kind of mad it was so short. If I could blend together 1 and 2’s versions I would love it. I imagine instead of an elevator every floor there were the halo 2 gondolas that went outside. And then back into the library.
>>545540753No it's not lmao
Actually it is
>>545540753Few are saying this
>>545540753too bad for the halo haters
>>545541506The problem with your idea is that Sacred Icon's gondola rides are worse than any individual section of any Halo game.

Yes
Barely a speedbump.
>>545541792I just had some sort of Vietnam flashback to some 343i cum guzzling podcast or something that called themselves "Sacred Icon" that were running defense on Infinite for months and months.

>>545525647>you don't like Halo's combatI don't like Halo's Flood combat. It's not very fun no matter how many times I force myself to play through the Library. The carrier/popcorn flood are interesting, the combat forms not so much.>It is one of the few times in the entire series where you truly feel overwhelmed.Yeah, that's a novel experience...for the first time. On subsequent playthroughs it's no longer novel and it gets old real quick. The 343 Guilty Spark mission already did what the Library was doing. You already felt overwhelmed by the Flood on first meeting with them. And it was even more apparent at the end when you finally get a squad of marines and have to slowly watch them get picked off one by one while you do your best to save them while trying to escape and survive yourself. 343 Guilty Spark WAS The Library, but a better version of it. The game should have skipped the Library then and gone straight to Two Betrayals and it would have been a better experience overall, and there wouldn't be so many memes and bad memories of that one mission all these years later. The Library is essentially a tl;dr post of the 343 Guilty Spark mission. And /hg/ hates reading, especially tl;dr posts (like this). Most players hate the library. If there's one thing Halo Studios should 'fix', it should be that mission. Even Ruby was able to realize this and included more of the sandbox/variety with the encounters, which Halo is best known for.Also, let's not forget beaming up into the Truth and Reconciliation and having to deal with invisible sword elites for the first time. Or having to get back to the surface after visiting the map room on The Silent Cartographer. There are several times when players feel truly overwhelmed, it's not just with the Flood. The Flood was a special case due to being a new enemy/faction that showed up just as you were getting used to the Covenant. But that novelty was quickly lost in the Library by overstaying their welcome. T

>>545553989BOOM
>>545554673No one's under any kind of illusion about it, the story mode will just be a gateway to a highly monetized online mode. What's important here is that it's coming out really close to CE's 25 year anniversary, which is almost assuredly when the remake would be released. Interest in the game is already lukewarm going by the reveal failing to rack up any significant viewership, this and its lack of multiplayer pretty much guarantees its death.
>>545555130nobody is buying a halo remake when the most photorealistic hyperdetailed crime simulator is right next to it. ign is going to give it a 10 and every mexican and nigger will buy it and it will be the biggest selling game ever in history. i think you underestimate also that every single kid back in 2013, grew up with gta v. i don't think a single person that was below the age of 13 back then even knows what halo is.

There's something magical about Halo: Combat Evolved. When you leave the life boat, you are on an alien world, with many adventures ahead. You look up in the sky and see the halo ring, and realize there's something mysterious about Halo. Martin O'Donnell's score perfectly captures this fealing of wonder, and leaves you on the edge of your seat. There's something mysterious about the forerunners in Halo: Combat Evolved. The many tunnels master chief sees truly shows this mysterious dynamic. Halo: Combat Evolved truly has an impressive atmosphere. There's something magical about the 4th mission Silent Cartographer. It truly feels like an alien world, with many adventures around the corner. Nothing quite captures this feeling better than the mission Silent Cartographer, which is truly a mission of wonder and mystery. Halo: Combat Evolved is

I re-read the Reach datapads because of this post >>545568653They're great, and very much in the style of Marathon's writing. I love that kind of thing. But here's an interesting question: which Halo game, including the 343i games, is the best Marathon sequel?
To attempt to answer my own question >>545631771I think there might be a good argument for Halo 2 or Halo 5. In Marathon 2 and Marathon Infinity you have the sequences where you're leading an alien slave revolution on Lh'owon, and are (possibly) playing as an alien via a kind of consciousness transfer, respectively. So the Arbiter sections in Halo 2 and the Sangheilios sections in 5 come off as particularly in the spirit of Marathon to me. This is on top of Marathon 1's Durandal terminals about exploring alien realities. Halo 1 is arguably, in its entirety, an extended remake of Aye Mak Sicur. Halo: Infinite would be similar then too. Halo 5 also has the Cortana rampancy/(iirc) something about Cortana melding with an ancient Forerunner AI - which would be similar to Thoth/Durandal. (actually don't entirely remember the plot of Halo 5, but I know at the very least Cortana merges with the Forerunner systems).Halo 3 and Halo: Reach arguably have the best terminals in Marathon style. Yes, even the Halo 3 terminals which conflict with the "Humans are Forerunner" idea - multiple conflicting realities or interpretations of reality is a Marathon subtext. None of these are completely satisfying answers, but it's an interesting question to me. At any rate the Reach datapads are underrated.

I had the strangest, most unexpected dream about a Halo Reach remakeThere was a whole extra section/level added where you're following a highway whose elevation changes changes drastically with the terrain and at one point you're watching Pelicans at a lower elevation get shot down as the invasion is kicked up a notchI don't suddenly want a Reach remake but it was an interesting experience
look guys just noticed I had this pic saved

>>545625125Combat Evolved looked like shit, everything was a poorly defined polygonal blob, and yes I played it back in the day. Halo 2 with proper shadows like the preview build of old looked way better even if the Xbox could not handle it at the time.

>>545657669>>545657728nah

It's funny seeing them try to hype up such ugly weapons and armor.

Why did Mamdani kill Halo?
>>545643392What's it like now?
>no halo mp for fuck knows how longJesus. At least in the post-5 era they ported MCC to PC and started to fix it up to somewhat reasonable levels.
ten year plan bros... not like this...
They're not adding another weapon, are they?
>>545660806Nah. Looks like the light rifle was binned.
Half of the 10 years plan is just playing MCC over and over again.
>>545660912Lame, but fitting for Infinite's EOL. Armor shilling, talking about all of the options, and Forge maps.
So how badly do you think GTA VI being delayed to November has fucked all their "25th anniversary of Halo" thing?
>claims to be halo infinite>is halo finite
That's really it.
When was the last time shitfinite got an actual map that wasn't made by the forge autists anyway?Nearly 2 years ago?
>>545661094Very badly. It couldn't possibly get any worse. Thank god for Rockstar.
>>545661289The beginning of 2024, I don't remember when the last one before that was.
So we're all moving to Combat Evolved remake when that drops right? The multiplayer can't be THAT bad, right?
>>545661305I find it really funny. They have this Halo fest stuff in the end of next year to celebrate, and they clearly are intending for CE remake to be out around the same time for the 25th.If they shit it out early no one will care by that point because all the hype and whatever will be over, if they delay it they have no game.
>>545661564For once, the multiplayer won't be awful.
>>545661564They actually learnt from Infinite for once.Just not having an MP at all.
>>545661541Oh right that's when they went utterly retarded, axed seasons and named the update "CU28" and that generated negative hype because no one knew what the fuck they were talking about.
The best innovation Halo Infinite came up with are bots in multiplayer. I hope they expand on this in the next multiplayer game and add more options and behaviors to the bots, such as having 12 or 24 bots, adjusting difficulty for them individually, and letting them drive vehicles. That's how you truly keep the game alive because you can always have matches available even when the playlists are empty or running low. Sometimes it takes forever to find matches even for the casual modes like Heavies or Fiesta, but then I swap to a custom match vs bots and suddenly I'm playing Quake with the homies.
>>5456592562k already because the official halo channel just went live now..but this anon caught it when it was still normal >>545643846it just feels a bit sad to see
>>545662219What happened to the bot playlists, did they really all get scrapped?
>>545663181They got dropped when Firefight released.
Fucking Unreal Tournament had all of that why can't Halo have it too?
>>545663407I'm tempted to spend the remainder of an Amazon gift card on this pass, just for this pistol.inb4 it's more than $10
https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/operation-infinite-preview
>>545664160Ugly armor is all they have to show. No balance changes, no repurposed weapon skin, nothing.
Also, for bots, they could follow the examples set by Perfect Dark and Timesplitters, where you can change the 'personality' of a particular bot and have them act a certain way, such as going after the power weapons at all costs, preferring to use melee only, holding a grudge against the last player that killed them and only target them, or trying to be peaceful and avoid confrontations. They could even take it a step further and have certain bots prefer jumping everywhere they go, maybe teabag players and shoot teammates randomly, or strafing left and right really fast and ducking to be an annoying tryhard target, maybe be nearly blind and don't notice players running up behind them or about to run them over unless they're directly perpendicular to them, etc. Imagine having all these different bots running around with their own goals/playstyles/skill level, it would be like playing in a regular BTB match with randoms. And you could do this when it takes too long to find a match.
>>545664160lololoolllololool
WE WERE LITERALLY ALMOST HALFWAY THROUGH THE 10 YEAR PLAN ITS HALOVER
>>545663730I just got the Automag (and the pseudo-Dutch) gear and it's weird how you can tell there were completely different modelers between the two; both are the M6C as a design basis but the Automag is way smoothed over. I know they gotta fit the general profile of the Sidekick but it's just weird seeing such drastic interpretations from one another.
>>545665072I'm glad I didn't fall for the automag, because that one just looks plain ugly. I'm still going to wait until seeing it ingame, because I nearly got burned with the MA5B too.
>>545665247Honestly I like the gist of how it looks, but knowing the actual proper model fit for it is coming right after I bought this stuff is a bit frustrating. At least I can make use of the other pieces.
Now that the dust has settled, was it a good game?
>>545665954i enjoyed the campaign so yes
>>545665247If they don't fuck about with it, and it's one of the "200 new to Infinite items coming to the exchange" the Special Ops coating is ideal for that model. It makes the red thing on the back of the slide (is it meant to be a loaded chamber indicator?) actually red and the sights glowing orange.
>>545665954A good game? Yes. Was it a good Halo game? No.
>>545666059>200 new to Infinite items coming to the exchange150 of those will be emblems and keyrings.
10 year plan btw
End of service reachedMy ten year plan in ruinsTell them I died well
>>545665954It was okay. Not as much of a dumpster fire as a vocal minority acts like it is in terms of playability or so forth AFTER all the updates. But at launch? An absolute disaster, and the post-launch period far too long for anything substantial to unfuck it. The campaign was the most basic thing imaginable with not enough to it and a pointless open world mostly just good for faffing about for Halo tomfoolery. The multiplayer still has a lot of issues, as does the menuing, but I mean, it's playable enough now. I can't be too harsh on it knowing what Microsoft was doing behind the scenes with the contractor shit, and 343 were a bunch of directionless nitwits not really sure what the fuck they were doing anymore, but it doesn't really deserve a great deal of respect on its own merits either.It's basically the current best example of a middling game that's fine to play but has nothing really going for it besides a modern Halo to play.
>>545665954it was alright, definitely a victim of Microsofts retarded choices of contract work. I don't even want to know what this game would be like if they hadn't grabbed Joseph Staten to salvage it.
>>545666221Probably will be mostly nameplates and charms. I know there's atleast 20 charms in the files.
>10 billion models for the mutilator, shock rifle and heatwave>literally no models for most of the weapons they added to the armory recentlyI figured they'd do a fist of rukt model for the gravity hammer, apparently not. More shit shock rifles was more important I guess.
>>545666852And they will all be 50k+ to compensate for the increase of spartan points and the lack of any future additions.
>>545667248I just realized, no sword or skewer skins ever.
>>545664160>last update ever>still no way to disable hitmarkerslife is easy mode without homophobic 343 halo anyway
>they never did h3 reconHow do you manage to skip over the most sought after H3 set?
>>545670478Is there a substantial enough difference from the Reach helmet to really require another version of it?
>>545670653The rest of the armor is missing.
>>545670653H3 recon was more angular than Reach's. And it got smoothed out even more for Infinite to the point where it's really round.
>>545671083Well fair enough, though at this point I'm not surprised it never got an extra effort. Once the game didn't pan out it feels like everything that's been made was a huge burst of cosmetics they'd been planning, but eventually just got a dripfeed trickle down to pretend it was content for years.
content obfuscation
Should they impregnate Halo Infinite with more content or should they move onto the next game.
>>545671309The several months in a row of Brute-styled armors were definitely meant to all be in a single battle pass before it got split up.
>>545672987They should impregnate....me :3c
Found this in the Halo 2 announcement trailer, what were they referring to?
>>545675104343 Guilty Spark.
Is Infinite finally kill?
Don't forget to catch up on the community livestream.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yT_lkR3V4-0
>>545675329No but Halo is
>>545675104CE's assets were actually designed with static baked lighting in mind. It's visually cohesive. That's why it has aged significantly better.Halo 2 was originally going to use a Doom 3 esque lighting system that was fully dynamic, and featured inky stencil shadows. They had to drop it midway through development, and fall back to an updated version of CE's renderer. They didn't redo the assets, so the final game just looks really flat.The other issue with Halo 2 is that the normal maps look bad because they're not authored properly. The correct workflow is to build a very high poly model that's used to create a detailed normal map. Bungie just painted them with an image editor, which creates highly sub-standard results. Just look at the difference between Halo 2 and Doom 3 or Riddick, which both used the correct method.
>>545648278The problem with Halo 2 isn't the art assets. It's the lighting. They were designed for a dynamic Doom 3 style lighting system with dark stencil shadows.Even though Halo 2 technically has more advanced tech, the extensive use of improperly authored low resolution normal maps mixed with the flat lighting hasn't aged well. The flaws are more readily apperent and distracting, especially when playing in HD.Halo 1's models and environments are just easier on the eyes due to the more constrained use of normal mapping and smoother textures. Sometimes less is more.
>>545666053Infinite has a one and done campaign. Not worth replaying and they never improved it much at all, not even adding the new weapons.
Gaylo Shitfinite? Dead. A failure. A monument... to all your sins.
>>545665954no
>>545677565>>545677789Halo 2 Dark Souls 2 exact same situation gutted lighting made it the worst looking game in the trilogy
>Escharum armour setWait maybe infinite is good
>>545677789>>545677565This. Pic-related hasn't made any changes to the original textures or bump maps. The modder just added some dynamic lights. So imagine a fully-realized stencil-shadowed lighting system that actually used all the bump maps and textures properly, the way they were meant to be used as Bungie intended in their original vision. It would have been so crazy.>>545648278Combat Evolved look great, and still looks very striking even in current year. When Halo 2 came out I was immediately disappointed with the graphics and art style. The character models looked more detailed, some architecture/design looked pretty good like High Charity, but there was ugly pop-in everywhere, some textures looked really blurry/low-res, and colors look a lot muddy and blend together, especially with the added light bloom that makes everything a little more smudgy-looking. In CE, I would always stop to admire details of things or look out into the distance of the skybox. In 2, if you stop moving, you notice how flat everything looks and the textures are too blurry to examine details like you could with CE. The skyboxes don't look like they exist in their own massive space, it's like they're just a blurry jpeg, and nothing is really out there. In CE you could use a sniper rifle to zoom in on the back ground and barely see tiny waves moving in the ocean near the horizon. Halo 2's skyboxes are barely more than a low-res piece of concept art and make the game world feel so small and fake. Even the good ones like Delta Halo's lakes or Uprising/Great Journey's ocean just make you feel like you're in a big dome or stadium, they don't feel like actual real space.
>>545677565>>545677789I wonder if one day something like the Restored Lighting mod can overcome the limitations of the engine and its culling methods to unfuck the graphics, because Ruby's efforts for the cutscenes pretty much turn the game into looking like a proto-H3 when you get at least SOME lighting on there.
>>545684719Ah, I went on a tangent toward the end there talking about skyboxes when the discussion was mostly about textures. But the skybox is technically a texture too. I think what anon lkes about Halo 2 were the higher poly models, but I don't think higher poly models automatically make the game look better. The character models are definitely a step up from CE, but I'd say the environments are either on par, but some of them are also a massive step back from CE. I'm glad they went back to more distant/larger skyboxes in 3/Reach.
>>545685174I read that the restored lighting guy is working with Ruby on the Ruby Rebalanced mod. I don't know the extent, but that sounds really cool. Agree, hope they push the engine even further and overcome its limitations.
Another unique Chief armor looking like plastic cosplay.

I bet all of us could come up with a better Halo game than anything 343 has ever put out.

>make people pay out the ass for cosmetics, regularly more expensive than fortnite on average>don't make a game focused around a custom spartan because they're too afraid to NOT have master chief again

Ultimate Firefight poster is a patriot and plays Halo.
>>545690072On behalf of AAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE, we AAAIIIEEE
Now this is Halo
Kinda wish I could play Ultimate Firefight with a cute Halobro...
If a modder could make a DLC-sized campaign for any game on the MCC, say something more on the size/terms of ODST, what game or engine would you think deserves a shot the most?
>>545688841These are pvp matches with real humans:>>545687198>>545686968That's why the gameplay looks more competitive. And you can't have more than 8 bots at a time so bot matches are best on smaller maps unless you're playing snipers.
>>545690072AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>545690424As a Halo 3 fan, I would feel bad getting another ODST. Don't want to be too greedy. I'd say Halo 2 or CE deserve it more, but CE has gotten the most attention out of all the Halos in terms of content and mods and remakes, so 2 is a bit behind. That being said, I wish they'd just remake 2, which is what Ruby already seems to be doing. 2 also needs more mods, especially campaign overhauls. Even Reach has more going on for it than 2's modding scene. Where's my Halo 2 Mythic Overhaul Campaign?
>>545690424No game deserves a mod.I personally would take an expansion from any of the Halo games.
>>545690424Whichever one has the least amount of limitations.So probably Reach or 4.Although, AFAIK, custom BSP geometry IS possible on 3, but not Reach or 4. (I could be wrong there, haven't touched modding in a while.)
Infinite has the worst gunplay in all of halo, no idea how it's survived for so long
I've got a Halo 2 MCC CTF BTB lobby up if anyone is interested in joining.>>>/v/725235358
>>545692383Sure, I'll join.
>>545692383Aw damn im at work so i won't be able to join. I want to play more Halo 2
Halo-like.
These maps suck at low player counts.
>shitfinite deadhe keeps stacking Ws
Every update I ever saw for Infinite had such an overwhelming focus on XP, battle pass and cosmetics. I skimmed through the latest stream and they spend twenty minutes on it, then spend less than two minutes showing stills of two maps. Not even gameplay for the maps. Why would I ever play Infinite?
>>545699629Shut up and buy the cat ears chud. You want more Halo games, right?
>>545699842What's wrong with cat ears? Halo already had weird emblems, flaming skulls, unicorn horns, katanas, crossover helmets, skull print helmets. Cat ears isn't a stretch in that field, probably less offensive than a skull print helmet at least.
Halo 2 Classic has been played. Unfortunately theater mode doesn't work so can't post proof, but it WAS played, trust me. Almost a full lobby too.(Fiesta FFA Slayer, first to 100 kills, low gravity, infinite ammo/grenades, played on Ascension and Burial Grounds)
>>545700650Tower of Power?
>>545700495By the way, this might seem unrelated, but does anyone know how to make estrogen?
>>545700704No just standard FFA slayer with random weapons and infinite ammo.
is there a single western developer more despicable than 343? they're a perfect mixture of incompetence, arrogance, stupidity, mismanagement while also having access to one of the largest IPs at one point
>>545700921EABlizzardGameFreakUbisoft
>>545701095Ah, wouldn't say more despicable. But they're all pretty close. But EA, Ubisoft, and Blizzard, are almost malicious about it. 343 just doesn't know what the hell it's doing and sometimes MS is too greedy. And Halo is stuck with both of them so it seems extra bad.
>>545699414this boomer nigger is so based just for the fact that he makes loser faggots seethe and gnash their teeth
The pelican design was too good they never made a good human aircraft after that
>>545700495Keep these:>weird emblems>crossover helmets>skulls (as long as they're in a helmet; if not, remove them. Also, no flames)Remove these:>unicorn horns>skull print helmets>ancient greek/spartan/viking helmets>ancient sword/shield>katanas>flaming skulls
>>545692383OP is fucking retarded.Keeps on insisting that SMG starts are fine for BTB.
>>545701095>EAthey are greedy and fuck a bunch of people over but they delivered good products sometimes like mirror's edge and some battlefield>Blizzardmade some of the best games of all time so they're on the caliber of old bungie, just with shitty management>GameFreaki did specify western developers>Ubisoftincredibly formulaic games but they never are outright bad if you don't count the sever bugs that some games have and their output for each series is surprisingly consistent, also they made chaos theory and fc2
>>545701995Not surprising with how hard he got raped on the one BR starts game where he couldn't whore power weapons all game.
>>545701663Not so fast.
>>545702275
>>545702256People really don't get how bad SMG are in Halo 2. Even AR starts in Halo 3 are more balanced since maps tend to have a shitload of BRs.
they just namedropped me in /v/ Halo thread should i be concerned?
>>545702443OP was just running default gametypes, but there's a very good reason SMG starts stopped being the default. Having 3v4s on gigantic maps didn't help much, either.
>>545701946If you're consistent then it's absolutely fine to be against them, though I'm not sure why you'd be okay with crossover helmets. But if you're okay with those other things then cat ears aren't a big deal.
>>545702481Play with us sometimes, DayLee Dose.
>>545702957thanks doc
>2 days threadIt's over again
>>545702843You wouldn't want me in charge of Spartan customization. I'd keep like 4 helmets and ditch the rest, remove all the tacticool stuff and make Spartans look more uniform across the board. No wacky colors either. Urban grey, winter, olive drab, black, desert tan. You don't know how disappointed I was with Reach's Power Ranger Spartans, they look so disorganized and tacky with their random loadouts. Emille should pay the UNSC for damaging an otherwise perfectly serviceable helmet state of the art MJOLNIR helmet with his shitty skull art.
>>545702843>you'd be okay with crossover helmetsbtw this depends on the crossover and how well it fits with Halo's style. Doomslayer's helmet is fine, Hayabusa helmet not so much.
>Doomslayer's helmet is fine
>>545704115I mean the Hayabusa has legacy there, both Xbox and otherwise, obviously. Halo was really more of the online dudebro game before Gears temporarily took that over and then Call of Duty, eh, codified it.I am shocked that the Helldivers collab was a one-way affair, but at the same time not surprised that a studio that was only able to release pre-existing assets was stuck not making anything new.
>>545703993>You wouldn't want me in charge of Spartan customization. I'd keep like 4 helmetsAt that point it's probably just better to remove the feature entirely, which is fine too.
>>545704192It's a little overdesigned, but the same basic shape would fit in with other Spartan helmets.
>>545704192They called DOOM/DOOMGuy 'Red Halo' for a reason, anon. His armor looks like John Halo.Other acceptable crossovers:-Gears of War (COG helmet)-Planetside 2 (Most of their helmets look fine)-Titanfall (I'd even add a Titan vehicle to the next Halo instead of the Mantis)-Hell Divers-Star Wars (Republic Commandos specifically)-Mass Effect (Helmets only or heavier variants of armor)-Ghost in the Shell-Cyberpunk (Trauma Team)etc.Other Unacceptable crossovers:-Fortnite-Any furry stuff (No animal ears)-Any flamboyant stuff (No Jojo, MLP, Overly weebish anime like Bleach, One Piece, Naruto, etc., Cartoon Network/Nickolodeon, Spongebob, Rick and Morty, CalArts, etc.)-Holiday/Seasonal stuff (No Santa Claus, No Jack-O-Lantern, Easter Bunny, UwU kawaii shit, etc)Bonus:-Remove all weapon charms-Remove all weapon skins except for canon or canon-leaning skins-Remove all joke emblems/poses, Spartans should only look cool or professional-Remove all kill/respawn effects and animated effects like flaming heads
Also, remove sprint.
Crossover armors are not okay. Classic Marathon crossovers are okay, however.Multicolor Spartans are good.Tacticool Spartans are also good.There should be more armor customization.

>>545706065I disagree with your assessment of armor customization.
>>545706854btw I don't like the asymmetrical shoulders, it should be the same type of shoulder armor on both sides unless the mission/uniform demands it.

>>545708392Japan is so cringe.
Halo X in Halo Y... My beloved...
>>545708392...
>>545708296Ultimate Firefight devs...you know what to do! Thank you in advance and Godspeed!>>545709610KINO
>>545710503I watched some of the original run of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the other day for the first time since the 90s. It felt very Japanese. It was charming.
I know it's a community mode but the zombie firefight is so fucking stupid, if you die at any point past when the first Brute damage sponge boss shows up you just get killed every single round for the rest of the game after frantically trying to find a way to actually grab 12 upgrades, ammo, and at least one better gun between rounds when you can only really get about 9 activations in before a Chieftain sticks his hammer up your bunghole
>>545711234I only tried it twice. First time I hated it. 2nd time, I had teammates that carried me, but I happened to grab a Disruptor which I kept upgrading. It could stunlock enemies which helped my team finish them off. Try to stick with the group or shadow at least one other player but also cover an enemy spawnpoint no one else is, that way you guys aren't getting jumped out of nowhere. That being said, I went back to my normal playlists. It's neat, but too tryhard and claustrophobic. I never got into zombies with COD either, despite trying it several times. Just hasn't clicked with me yet.
buying halo bf
>>545692383I would have played but I'm under the weather
>>545712092Do you have any concept of what a douche you sound like trying to give advice about a mode you don't play
>>545712753Not him, but you sound like a little bitch.
Halo should crossover with Digital Circus.
Elite mommies are real.
>>545712753I don't think it's meant to be an unbeatable mode, so we're probably just not playing it right. I got as far as I did by playing more of a support role rather than just trying to kill the zombies, and by focusing on stunning enemies I never really ran out of ammo and could always find time refill/upgrade. I also had a DMR, which was slow to fire and also never really ran out of ammo mid-wave and I was able to max out both of their upgrades and damage. We were fighting multiple shielded Escharums and Brute Hammer Chieftains at the same time for several rounds killing them really quick, and we never got overwhelmed until the invisible sword elites started showing up with them and wearing us down because we didn't notice them. We also stayed in the same general area and I always made sure someone was nearby.Maybe our initial approaches were wrong, and there's a certain way to play this mode, so you can't really brute-force it with a playstyle you might be used to. I dislike the Disruptor and hate the Bandit rifle but they worked perfectly for me in this mode. So maybe you just have to switch up your approach. I htink the next time I try this mode I'll be ready for this invisible elites. It's hard to noticef them when you're busy dealing with 2 Escharums and a ton of Rocket Brutes/Grav Hammer Brutes. I barely noticed who was hitting me until it was too late. Pesky invisible elites and their swords.
have a comfy dreams halobros
>>545715835If you're an Elite liker that pays real monies for this shit instead of playing a game with actual playable Elites then you are gay
>>545702275are these silly mods still up for download?
>>545717517you too lil bro
>>545665954>CampaignSolid overall, the open world stuff on the ring is really good, the "real" missions are kind of boring and have the same unfocused 343 stink as 4 and 5, I usually cut off my replays are finishing The SequenceAt least forerunner shit looks right again>Base multiplayerBetter than Reach/4/5 but still sprintnigger garbage, maps are way too fucking bloated, and art-wise why are they all hoomanslop?>Forge/bots/custom optionsThe real reason to play, I've spent an ungodly amount of time just playing classic Halo on 1:1 remakes and 2v2 maps from the forge hub contests
>>545715862Heatwave upgraded to fire shock rifle rounds is the best gun in the mode. It hits everything in a group, and gives you back a ton of shields thanks to max health having vampirism. I've had a few games go on for several hours, but only on the space station map. The other 3 spawn plasma turret brutes that will fuck you up hard.
>>545717517Thanks. You should say that more often, especially when it’s time to kill threads
>>545715862If you want some advice on how to farm that shit (the deaths were from me trying to get the game to end because i needed to take a shit quite badly, could have kept going forever).>4/4 damage buff is top priority>4/4 hp buff next >you either upgrade one of your starter weapons (i upgrade the sidekick because there is only one absolutely shit upgrade for it) or get 4/4 speed buff first, up to you>start gambling at the rng weapon box>keep the mutilator, heatwave or pulse rifle if you get them>you want the shock rifle upgrade for the heat wave, but the shotgun or sniper rifle ones are good too>heat wave upgrade for pulse rifle is good but dangerous to use, shotgun is good>mutilator is good for backup because it's a super spammy gravity hammer with infinite ammo>ultimately your goal for weapons is 2x shock rifle heatwaves (fire, swap, fire, swap, ect) because it makes you effectively immortal and stunlocks entire rooms to death even at wave 40Funnily enough the instakill buff is more of a hindrance at high levels because you can't regen your shields from damage.
>>545506329>Disinterest in the Gears remaster may also have played a role.I'd have bought that if:>not $70>Gears 2-3 in towThe fact MS seems to think I want a SECOND (well... third, I guess) port of 1 on Steam for $70 is fucking insane. They are huffing their street shitters farts if they think someone is paying $70 for Gears in 202X that isn't Mexican.
>>545665954Multiplayer was alright, but they fucked up BTB and took a vacation RIGHT after they launched (really shouldn't have shadow dropped during the holiday season if they were going to do that) and the game never recovered from that.I tapped out because BTB was broken, and outside of checking out the Samurai free pass, I didn't come back because MCC didn't need seasons (though they backported it in a way) and BTB wasn't broken on it.
>>545665954Multiplayer-wise, yes for me personally, I enjoy Quick Play and BTB, some things came too late, 343 is honestly 2/3 in terms of Multiplayer, I liked 5 and Infinite, it is true the 343 campaigns suck and are god-awful but most people who hate on Halo Multiplayer areA. 25 and under fortnite and call of duty only Zoomers who refuse to play anything elseB. Jaded Halo 2 Boomers who will not accept Sprint under any circumstancesso that leaves people like me, in terms of community its smaller, but the game is still fun imo, I imagine a Multiplayer title is in development considering the fact they are not doing any further updates to Infinite
>>545665954At launch a dumpster fire. Years later it's just "fine".But being fine was never going to bring anyone back
>>545717746Some of them are but might not be updated. This is the mod in that webm in >>545702275 , but it doesn't seem to work now, so you might need a manually update it or contact the modder to do it.>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2900311395These mods worked (picked at random, so there's probably a ton that are still playable):>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3570062632Dogfighting and silly vehicles, weapons. Make sure to pick a team mode (red or blue team). There's jets flying around the middle of the map if you want to dogfight. And there are marines at each base, some even outside in the grassy area.>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3559068179&searchtext=Play as a Grunt and fight mummified Covenant enemies. Tons of silly weapons and some vehicles from other halo games.>https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3375234964There's an Ocarina of Time map out there that's a lot better and you can use unique weapons/vehicles with basically the entire overworld, but this one is pretty nice if you want to stick to a smaller map with more vanilla CE gameplay.
>>545721602>>545718530Thanks, will keep these in mind if I do the mode again.
>>545720626no because then mr angery gets mad
>>545723519whoa didn’t expect such a detailed reply.. thats actually helpfuli’ll check them later once I’m away for a while, thanks>>545724242>>545724840funny webms btw

You ever feel like modern artists are just looking at shit in a vacuum thanks to contracting jobs and outsourcing, and never actually given a directive of shit they could be working from? Not that the interpretation of Installation 04 back in the Reach map pack was great, but it still tried.
I am going to find the piece of shit that murdered the impact physics on vehicles and fucking kill him, there's not even a reason to play vehicle modes unless you are one of the egocentric manchildren vehiclefags that think they're the main character, they're just roving armored turrets now instead of something you actually interact with.
Why didn't they just flash clone Kat a new arm
>>545730118Man, I remember Halo: Reach actually kind of depressed me as a teenager with its grim art style. And I felt kind of relieved when both Tempest in the Noble Map Pack and Installation 04 in the Anniversary pack dropped because they felt like Halo again.
I have actually been wanting an HD version of Halo CE since at least Halo 3. In a lot of ways Reach gives me what I want in regards to that, it's the best "HD interpretation of Halo CE" we've gotten, but it's also trying to be its own thing.CE Anniversary was bad. Now we're getting Campaign Evolved and I am tired of the monkey paw curling.
>>545737317Just play CE mods
>>545738574Bluntly, what I wanted is basically Halo CE (or at least something *like* Halo CE in terms of the look/feel/indescribable magic and the way it plays gameplay-wise), but with the peak of Bungie's HD art efforts. I've long since come to terms with the fact that this is never happening. Mods don't ever cut it.Currently I'm interested in Metroid Prime 4. Although as a fan of that series too, I'm a little underwhelmed with what's been shown so far.
DO NOT REDEEM
>*farts loudly*
Baza...
Is He Stupid?
>*burps*
that's gross dude cut it out!
Halo 4 should have been an Arbiter game.Halo 5 should keep the dual narrative but replace Master Chief with the Arbiter, and at the end of the game, you find MC in cryosleep years after the war has ended.Halo Infinite should be the back-to-basics game with Master Chief returning as the sole protagonist.
>>545741087>muh arbiterThis would have killed Halo harder than actual nuHalo.
Sneaking suspicion that this is the player model for the "prequel" missions in CEmake, given that the Mark V is just the one from Infinite.
I'm so gassy today
shut the fuck up
>>545741160it worked for Kojima with Raiden, doofus
>>545741434You only played as Raiden in 2 dingus.
why don't they just pull a RE2make and just makes a bunch of new shit up as long as it's entertaining
>>545741537>why don't they just pull a RE2makeWe're already getting a shitty soulless remake though?
>>545741483but he's successful in displacing solid snake as the defacto protagonist of the franchise, after 2, snake only appears in 1 game, his biological dad takes up most of the narrative in the subsequent decades
>>545741605halo's a 1-for-1 remake, re2 is a brand new game, also it's a masterpiece
>>545741606He's not? He's a side character in 4 and got a non-canon spin-off.
Unfortunately RE2 is a much better game than CE, that's why their remake is better than ours.
>>545741714I just meant that after MGS2, the role of the protagonist isn't Solid Snake by default anymore, that all happened thanks to RaidenHalo has the Arbiter to pivot away from after 3 but they chose to play it too safe
>>545741817nah, plenty of RE games are better than Halo as a whole, but not the original RE2
>>545741854After 2 the protagonist is Big Boss who looks and sounds exactly like Solid Snake because people hated Raiden and wanted to play as Snake, I don't think you know what you're talking about.
>>545741271The helmet probably is. He seems to be using base mark 4 with that helmet in the story board they showed, and the model looks higher quality than a lot of other helmets in infinite.But they aren't using the "classic" needler in the remake so who knows.
>>545741984Big Boss is only a foil to Solid Snake; he is completely different person, he came to very nihilistic conclusions despite facing the same circumstances as his son. He is meant to contrast and highlight the heroic nature of David. You literally got Kojima'd.
Halo The Musical would save this series.
