Good morning. I can still send my info for the collage right? I only just remembered after seeing the 1995.
In 5 threads your fate will be sealed, /hg/
The Endless has arrived
>>558537049idk, Might as well try
Microsoft literally just needs to make me in charge of Halo.I should have say over what weapons, maps, abilities, deployables, cosmetics, story elements, and characters are in the game.I don't want to toot my own horn but I'm about as big of a Halo superfan as you can get, not just because I love Halo and grew up with it, but because I actually UNDERSTAND it.My Halo would be the ideal next step for the franchise, and anyone who has a problem with it or doesn't like it is just too retarded and shouldn't have a seat at the table of discussion on what Halo is and isn't in the first place.
>>558537194I look like this and say this.
>>558537256stop pretending to be me
>>558537194Care to elaborate on what you would actually do?
>>558537049nah
>>558536958IIs sparring must be interesting to watch
>>558555312Reminds me of my time playing Jak X
>>558537194You probably could pull it off. The biggest hurdle is just higher-ups not allowing people to put Halo first when making a mainline Halo.
>>558548719Man, that's embarassing for the other guy. Double Spikers is one of the worst weapon combo in Halo 3.
>>558563228I don't even think it's that nefarious.The problem is more that from the get go, game development is mandated to prioritize certain cornerstones to ensure it meets the publisher's blueprint for being lucrative enough. Game Pass especially compounds this. Game's need to balance out the risk/reward of essentially not having to be paid for. This is why on day 1, even after a year-long delay, Infinite had barely any playlists or Game modes, but had a fully functioning storefront and a plethora of skins you could equip and customize.
>>558565481Having done some "work" in the industry, I can tell you that the store is one of the first thing they get done. Even pre-alpha games have the skeleton of the game store ready.
>>558565885makes senseit's usually the least buggy part
I remember that Marvel MMO that shutdown 6~ years ago. It was incredibly buggy but even on its last week, the store was still running fine without issues, and it loaded faster than anything else.
>>558572179Youtube ads work the same way
>>558573950your mom works the same way
>>558573950Oh im aware of ads working the same way. On Facebook and Twitter they both load nicely even if the website is shitting itself.
>here's your keyes and cortana bro
>bookshitWho even gives a FUCK about this?
Anyone down for CE multiplayer on MCC? I'll be playing for a few matches.
Making Chief fall in love with Cortana was retarded. She was always meant for me.
WEIRD

Why do they keep doing this?

They are here.
They JUST flew over my house.

You aren't supposed to know about they.
They were NOT happy about that one.

Been waiting 2 months for Mirage or Orion armor to come back on the exchange in MCC I'm starting to lose hope
well keep on waiting little one
>>558536958My first time posting here even though I've been on 4chan for a decade (the time flies!). Never knew there was a Halo general.Halo and it's lore was easily the most formative fiction media in my life. I loved it. I've never been religious, but the rich religious connotations in Halo gave me what felt like a religious experience.Looking back, having it murdered right in front of me with Halo 4 was a personal trauma which gave me a seething personal hatred toward SJWs and started a political spiral which lead me to /pol/.RIP Halo.
>>558597221Does mocap really mean you can't do the old face? Doesn't seem like an excuse at all. Anders looked like a normal hapa girl, then in the sequel they changed her ethnicity and gave her 12 cubic feet of chin. Was that mocap too?
>>558583368Man do I not like Hannaford's latest Halo stuff. This and the vinyl cover just look flat out bad to me.That Mark V is so off model and the proportions of it all are fucked.

>>558634930No there's a line I've not read in a long time. A long time.
I was watching S0ur's Halo 5 video because I enjoy getting new perspectives on games I know, and after beating the last Warden fight, he wondered if there was going to be a boss fight with Cortana in a life-sized physical form.I can't stop snickering at the idea of the final fight having Cortana being like "Look John, I'm physical now" and then this seven foot tall beast of a man stomping around in literal tons of armor just K.O.'s her

Decided to play halo infinite again now that it’s officially dead and buried. Last time I played was season 2. Had some fun but man the game feels so depressing. No one talks. No one types. Can’t say anything to the enemy team. No post game scoreboard to linger on and talk with the enemy team. I’ve never felt so depressed playing a game before. It just makes me think about what could have been.Also fuck me this game has the worst weapon balance I’ve ever seen in halo. Outside the mangler there’s no reason to touch covie weapons. It honestly feels like I’m using the AR, BR, Pistol, Shotgun, Rockets, Sniper, Mangler, and nothing else. The equipment too is all junk outside of the thruster and grapple.Why even add new weapons if they all suck? What is the point of that ugly ass carbine?
The jammer has turned its gaze on the poster below
>>558652545Shitfinite has problems but if you think it has the worst weapon balance in Halo then you need to play more Halo games.
>>558652545>reddit spacing
The poster above the poster above has been spoofed into thinking shitfinite isn't the worst halo game ever made
>>558596934Not to defend this crap but halo has been redesigning characters from day one. See Johnson from 2 to 3. Looks like a completely different person, his skin is lighter, and he’s suddenly balding.
>>558652750a lot can happen in 3 months
>>558652750the technology changed massively between those games. pre-rendered faces are not the same.

>Rand Al Thor 19's response to Xbox being XboxHey gang,Just wanna thank everyone all together for your support, kind notes, and shares over the last couple of weeks (and always). I'll be honest and transparent, since our lay offs in January, I've been feeling lower than I have been in years probably. I'm not good at hiding that kinda stuff, as you all likely know (lol). I really let shit get to me -- I've been the same since I was like 4 years old per school reports (also lol). The people laid off were people I personally hired. The cuts came out of the blue from higher up, and they were brutal, unfair, and cold. They ignored the years and years of hard work they'd all put in to the site and its growth.I spent the last couple of months knee deep in thoughts of just giving up, but I owe ye all so much, and my family, and my current and former team mates for the incredible support I receive.

>>558653220incomprehensibly soulless
>>558653019Claiming pre-rendered faces changing between games is acceptable and totally different to changing a character’s face because of mocap is cope. The end result is the same. A character was redesigned and looks different between two games. That’s all that matters. Either you’re ok with characters changing appearances or you’re not.
>>558653347I didn't say anything about mocap. I think you replied to the wrong post. You must be new to this site.
>>558653331And yet they’re the only weapons people ever use in every game. Curious…
>>558653347it's a video game
Yeah I’m gonna leave this general. You guys are dumb.
>>558653430You're just lying. You're saying no one ever touches a beam rifle? You're saying people don't drop their ar for the carbine? You are unironically 343 tier.

>>558630012>implying SJWism even makes the list of the top 10 things wrong with 343 halo development It is easily one of the top 3. Were you even a Halo fan?Bungie was politically mixed, and had ACTUAL diversity. When Halo 4 came out, it was common knowledge that 343 were extremely woke internally, and beyond rank incompetence I would say their wokeness is 2nd place for why they completely failed. 343 has always failed to capture the aesthetic of anything in Halo and has turned Master Chief from a subtly complex and internally tragic Jeus allegory of a charscter into a whiny simp loser who is more emotionally incontinent than the average divorced 50 year old his age. And by the way this thing with master chief was politically motivated, because it has been a trend to deconstruct positive male role models to defeat toxic masculinity. Likewise they turned the universe from a rich pseudo religious gnostic story about humans being pushed to extinction and discovering our own divinity, to... whatever it is now. Mostly mindless space opera with comic book cackling villains and cringe personal soap opera drama.343 has always refused to bring on people who are not politically woke. They only hired Staten (then fired him) because he's the most left wing of the original bungie.I don't even give a shit about politics these days but it's just clear that the myopic political culture at 343 from the start had a strong influence over their direction of Halo.

>>558658612You are just taking factors from within 'rank incompetence' and stretching them out to prove a point. Everything you mentioned is covered by that one point. As far as I remember they didn't do much contracting with Halo 4, that started to cut costs when they had already killed and buried Halo.
>>558658775Yeah I'm at work buddy. Sorry that I'm not at my computer for you :)Anyway, I will let myself out. Tragic. Halo is so fucking dead that the only people who remain in dead forums like this are actually 343tards larping as OGs. Thanks for letting me know.

Will the Halo remakes by 343 include the recon of the forerunner not being ancient humans? I wonder if they will change dialogue since guilty spark was very on the nose about it in the original Halo 1
Monkey paw: It won't, because they want to gain goodwill, but their games will still suck.
>>558668507They’re gonna stick with the retcon since on their twisted eyes it’s part of the original lore.
>>558664731You missed a whole bunch of weapons. Also you do realise the fuel rod was in halo CE?
Reminder CE re-remake looks like shit and for the life of them 343 can not figure out how to make mark v look good
>>558670946343 have never been able to do a good art style, so it's no surprise. We went from whatever Halo 4 and 5 were to this cartoonish disney style in infinite, which people were psyopped into calling the old style. It feels like they are just trying to make it look 'good' above everything, so style is sacrificed in favour of overly vibrant gaudy detail. In fairness, Halo 3 suffered from this, too. Reach got some well-deserved criticism, but the visual style was the best. Gritty military aesthetic clashing with the aliens.

I have this idea on how to balance vehicles in halo. Let me know what you think.1) We segment vehicles. What I mean by that is, we split each of the components that make up a vehicle into different segments and give each segment its own health pool. So for the scorpion tank for example, the front, back, gun, and each tread are segments with their own health pools. All you have to do is deplete the heath of one segment to destroy the vehicle entirely. The idea is you can give different segments different health pools, creating weak and strong spots for the vehicles. It also means that destroying a vehicle now requires a concentrated effort targeting the same spot consistently rather than just blasting any section of it.2) we give each segment health regeneration in stages. So let’s say the front of my tank has 100hp. If it takes damage down to 82hp and I drive away to safety, after some time that health will return to 100hp. But let’s say it takes damage for to 80hp, well now that is the new max hp for the segment. It only regenerates up to the nearest 20hp. To showcase this the segment should visually change to show a bit of damage.3) we also add extremely small sections that are super weak spots, so you have something to target if you don’t have rockets on you. Having these also means we can do away with the spartan laser, and heat seeking, and the skewer and other BS instant kill shit that is needed to deal with air vehicles but inadvertently makes dealing with ground vehicles mindless, since now you have shoot planes out of the sky of your aim is good enough.
wait fuck you tricked me

>>558691609grrrrr.
>>558654467If I did some research I wouldn't be surprised to see that he was.
>>558672767I was never bothered by the laser. Numerous things will insta-kill you on-foot so you play more carefully if you know someone who has it is around. You just take that mentality to operating a vehicle, which is already often faster and more lethal than you are on-foot.>rocket>sniper>fuel rod>tankSince the first Halo contending with things that could guarantee you take out a vehicle and its crew or get taken out yourself have existed. So a laser that charges first and in the hands of your average player telegraphs itself while doing so never stood out negatively to me.
Marathon won.
>>558697636If I understood correctly, you’re saying the splaser isn’t that hard to avoid on foot, but my problem is with avoiding it when you’re on a tank or hog. With rockets, at a distance they’re shown and can be avoided, but with the laser, some dude can be hidden miles away and can take out your tank, on their own, in a split second, in complete safety. That’s why I think they dropped the gun in 4, reduced its ammo count on reach, and removed it from infinite. It’s perfectly fine and balanced when hang it against air vehicles but against tanks it just instantly deletes them, making it frustrating to use tanks at all.
>muh tanksNigger, have you used the Scorpions in 3, Reach and 4? They delete everything on sight with their insane firing rate. I would have rather have the Spartan Laser balance these broken vehicles then not have it at all. Or maybe make EMP prevent vehicles from firing or something.
>>558703020>reachThe DMR and sniper delete all the vehicles lol>4I haven’t played this trash game in years and I ain’t gonna revisit it>3You can literally just nick a vehicle with the laser and it will still go downOnly tank that was ever truly overpowered was 2’s, and it’s precisely because the splaser didn’t exist. The gun exists to ruin your fun. There has to be ways to fight back against vehicles but it can’t be mind numbing easy.
The older I get, the more I hate the motion tracker. Feel like halo 5’s ranked tracker only showing you when you shoot or sprint should be the standard of the game are gonna have sprint. Crouching all the time gets exhausting.
weapon balance is overrated. as long as the meta is fun, then it is good. H2 has shit balance, but the fun comes from controlling the power weapons and BR combos. I don't give a fuck if the pistol sucks dick. The noob combo is gay though
>>558705802Weapon balance literally makes or breaks the game. What’s the point of having all these cool and whacky guns if you can’t use them 99% of the time? Halo 1 and 3 are legitimately un playable once you realise the only weapons you need are the magnum in CE and BR, sniper, rocket, and sword in 2. Real fun sandbox you have there where I only ever use 4 weapons. 3 is the only game to date where most of the weapons see some use, even if a lot of the guns are just copy and pastes of another.
Play MARATHON.
>>558706965For a moment I was tempted to but then I remembered it’s an extraction snoozer
Benefits of sprint in halo (real):1. It lets you initiate a slide which is cool and fun2. It lets you close the distance on a fast moving vehicle so you can initiate a hijack or land a plasma grenade3. It gives you a tactical retreat option as an alternative to your only option being to turn around and outshooting the guy who’s already landed 2 headshots on your cause he got lucky turning a corner4. It allows the motion tracker to no be relied on so heavily by making it only show your location if you sprint as opposed to jog#keepsprintinhalo!
>>558706746>Only gun in CE is the magnumAnd that's how I know you don't play. CE has the best balance in the series, the sniper and rockets are extremely strong, especially rockets which are key to winning on every map they or on, the shotgun beats the pistol at close range, the AR is like a shitty shotgun but both can be used for quick camo, and even the plasma weapons can be used against overshields, and the PR slows enemies. Definitely better than 3, which is basically 2s balance plus a few extra close range shotty/sword clonesBut my point is as long as the meta is fun, then the game is fun. The fun comes from the teamwork, positioning, map knowledge, gun skill, nades. You don't need a million guns to make halo work
>>558705802>weapon balance is overrated. as long as the meta is fun, then it is good.>>558706746>Weapon balance literally makes or breaks the game.Both of these statements are technically correct, which is why it's important to find the happy medium.
>>558706746>H1>magnum>has shit opinionswow who could have seen that coming?
>>558707635>>558707845AAAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEE
>>558707845>>558707635
>>558707660I mean obviously if the BR could one shot everyone and shoot throw walls them the game would suck, but then also the meta would suck. My point is as long as the meta is fun, then the game is fun, because the meta is the game
>>558708160Halo is fun because it has no one single metaAs far as the weapon balance is concerned we have no disagreement.
>>558708405Eh maps get played similarly by good players/teams when sweating for the most part, that is the meta. The difference mainly comes down to skill and snap decision making/predictions
Ok fags let’s review:Halo CEMagnum - bustedSniper - goodRockets - goodShotgun - goodishAR - useless if I have the magnumPlasma rifle - useless if I have the magnumNeedler - useless if I have the magnumPlasma pistol - only good for noob combosFrag and plasma grenades - both goodSo you’re looking at a very limited sandbox of 10 weapons where about 6.5 get some use. One of the better balanced halo games just by virtue of hating a very small weapons sandbox.
>>558708827If the pistol is busted then rockets deserve god tier, they are absurd. Also the AR and plasma weapons are not useless, they work in close quarters, and players will drop the pistol for rockets and keep those guns to use quick camo. The needlers are useless though I agree
>>558709082>keep those guns to use quick camoNo one does this.t. play CE a lot
>>558709319lmao it's a common tactic, makes rockets + camo almost a guaranteed 4+ kills. Without quick camo it's much easier to get tagged after shooting the rocket. Unless you only play big team, then that makes more sense to keep a pistol
>>558701747Not just on-foot. In the first Halo a person could snipe you out of a tank. The post I initially replied to mentioned "ground vehicles" rather than just tanks, so I was also thinking about how tanks could have other ground vehicles dead-to-rights.So with all that insta-kill potential that needed no charge-up the laser never bothered me. I also just play with an awareness of whether I know where a power weapon is and who controls it.
Halo 2BR - busted tierSniper - busted tierRockets - busted tierEnergy sword - buster tierShotgun - goodBrute shot - goodMagnum - junkSMG - junkPlasma rifle - junkNeedler - junkPlasma pistol - junk outside the noob comboCarbine - slightly worse BRBeam rifle - slightly worse sniperFuel rod - doesn’t even exist in multiplayerFrag and plasma grenades - good8.5 weapons get some use out of 12 unique weapons with the gap between useful weapons and useless ones being huge.

Halo 3BR - greatCarbine - greatAR - goodSMG - goodPlasma rifle - goodSpiker - good and slept onNeedler - goodShotgun - goodMauler - worse than the shotgun but still goodEnergy sword - goodGravity hammer - goodSniper - goodBeam rifle - sniper clone so goodRockets - goodFuel rod - worse than rockets but still good Brute shot - goodSplaser - goodMagnum - complete garbagePlasma pistol - junk outside the noob combo and EMP so it’s goodFrags, plasma, spike grenade - all goodLiterally 1 junk weapon even though it has a lot of redundant guns.
>>558710372smg and spiker are complete ass come on now
>>558710618especially given the fact you spawn with an AR that is just better
>>558710872>given the fact you spawn with an AR that is just betterSilly people really post silly things on this website.
ReachDMR - bustedNeedle rifle - bustedSniper - bustedMagnum - goodPlasma pistol - noob combo and EMP machineFocus rifle - slept on but also non existent in MP because everyone would rather have the sniperAR - goodRepeater - garbagePlasma rifle - doesn’t exist in MPNeedler - goodShotgun - goodGravity hammer - goodEnergy sword - goodRockets - goodFuel rod - goodSplaser - goodConcussion rifle - bustedGrenade launcher - goodA downgrade from 3. While most of the guns are good, the DMR and sniper absolutely run this game and completely killed vehicle use.
>>558710618>>558710872Ur supposed to duel them and the spiker’s melee makes up for its weak firepower.
>>558711103Yeah the paper mache vehicles pissed me off, no clue who thought that was a good idea
>>558711238Nah, the Spiker is genuinely shit and that +2 melee damage ain't gonna help you. The SMG on the other hand is really good.
3 would have the perfect BTB if it wasn't for the goddamn splaser
>>558711103The Plasma Rifle and the Spiker both appear in Reach mp on player made maps.They're both worse than the AR.
Babe, wake up. The MCC Exchange has been updated.
If I see a teammate using a spiker in reach im team killing
>>558713106>AXIOS Aapwv killed GOYIM BULLDOZER
Ok, now the reason for my garbage posts. To prove that halo infinite has dogshit weapon balance.AR - goodBR - goodBandit - slightly worse than the BR and just redundant honestlyBulldog - garbage. Mogged by the heatwaveCindershot - kinda shit. Need to spam it to get any kills and it’s mostly junk against vehicles. I’d rather just use the rocket.Commando - garbageDisruptor - garbage. Only used to EMP vehicles and it’s mogged by the shock grenades and PP.Dynamo grenade - goodEnergy sword - goodGravity hammer - goodFrag - goodRockets - goodHeatwave - goodHydra - garbageMangler - goodAvenger - good but pointless when the AR itself is so goodMutilator - broken piece of shit of a weaponNeedler - goodPlasma grenade - goodSpike grenades - goodRavager - garbageShock rifle - garbage. Worse sniper that’s inky good for EMPing but you can’t capitalise on it since you’re at sniper distance.Sidekick - goodSkewer - broken piece of shit of a weapon that ruins vehicle combatStalker - busted tier and has no place in the sandbox when the BR is a more balanced version of itThe game’s balance is all over the place. You have so much stuff that’s completely garbage, stuff that’s mid, and stuff that’s gamebreakingly busted.
>>558713574Forgot about the garbage piece of shit carbide that’s in every game
We need the sticky detonator back
>>558713889Sticky detonator was an interesting addition in Halo 4. One of the few things they did which I liked. I understand the argument from people that each weapon should fill a unique role, and there shouldn't be redundancy, yadda yadda, but it would be nice if we had more guns. Sticky detonator and Halo Reach grenade launcher could easily work well in the same game. Personally I wish there was an extended mag version of the assault rifle. Having the original 60 round mag would make it viable in pvp instantly.
>>558714589>Personally I wish there was an extended mag version of the assault rifleIt's called the SAW.
>halo infinite dead and buried>devs have yet to give out all the armours for freeFucking cunts. Bungie gave recon to just about everybody when H3 was dying.
Halo status?
Not being played.
Sad!
>>558714992>Bungie gave recon to just about everybody when H3 was dyingThat was gay
Buy Halo 4, you cheap fucks.
>>558709082The sniper is also better than the pistol.
>>558714638I think it would have worked better as an AR variant. They could have had both the Reach and Halo 1 style AR in the same game, the Halo 1 version filling the SAW role. A big reason Halo 4 instantly died was it had jarring and needless design changes across the board, so keeping the guns more familiar like that would have helped. For the short time I played Halo 4 at release I actually enjoyed the changes they made to multilayer, it was just the thousands of other things that were terrible.Outside of gameplay, I always thought the original vision of the assault rifle in Halo 1 (which bungie seemed to have lost in Halo 2 onwards) was super cool. It was a universal gun which filled the role of infantry firearm and support machine gun at the same time. Something real militaries would want to do if the technology was there. Introducing a whole new gun as the light mg makes the older games feel stupid for not having one.
https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/2026-mcc-exchange-update
>>558716415The AR just became the SMG in Halo 2. Same fire rate, same mag size, it just lost some damage.
>>558716724True but sad. I will never understand why they replaced the AR with the SMG and then gimped the AR for eternity.
>>558716976Automatic weapons in Halo were always pretty gimped. The SMG and AR in 3 had the exact same DPS, one just had a higher fire rate while the other had more damage.
>>5587169763s AR is the strongest automatic in the Bungie games, relative to sandbox
>>558717321You're right they were never good. Halo 4 was the first to actuslly make the AR viable, which I appreciated. Seems like they regressed again in infinite though from the little I played.What I meant was, Halo 1 had a good AR but with a broken bullet spread double what it should have been, then Halo 3 fixed that but still made the AR useless because they didnt want to have 2 60 round guns.
>>558718370The Halo 3 SMG is better, and can be dual wielded, but the Halo 3 AR is sadly the second best Bungie Halo automatic weapon.
Autos should be for CQC and thumbless kids, nothing more nothing less
Nah.
Uhh yah Halo!WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
>>558718636>3 AR uselessYou don't play
The Halo 3 AR sucks because the Halo 3 BR is way too good.
>>558719224The AR beats it at close range. If the BR user lands all their shots do you really want ARs, which requires next to zero skill to aim, to have a better TTK? That would be a horrible meta
>>558719138Well with AR and pistol starts it's the better of the two, but that says more about the pistol than the AR.
>>558713574Commando consistently beats AR and Bandit and is on par with BR for close-to-mid-range
Halo 5 has the best balance. Not a single gun in that game is junk.
>>558719523At close range the AR should nearly always win. Exceptions being if the player already lost health from an other engagement or if the BR user manage to weaken the AR user with a melee or grenade beforehand.
>>558719552It is usable with BR starts, in fact it makes close quarters much more boring than H2. Halo should always be balanced around the precision weapons>>558719776It does nearly always win, just AR them and melee and they are dead
>just AR them and meleeThat's not what usually happens and we both know it. You're talking about melee range, not close range.
Marathon won.They lost.
We don't talk about They here.

NEW MCC UPDATEWEARESOFUCKINGBACK
>>558724581 AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE
>>558719736Nu commando is a joke and completely ruins the gimmick of the gunOld commando just straight up sucks cause of the recoil
>just AR them and melee themNah I’m sorry but I’m never doing this again. Every time I do this in infinite the fucker who I melees somehow melees me long after they should have already died. It’s fucking bullshit and completely dishonest. I’m better off walking backwards and just unloading my entire AR mag into them.
>>558707568trvke
>>558725236Infinite isn't for meleeing like 3
Remember when reach didn't have bleed through so there would be sprintfags that would just run around double meleeing everyone
>>558726821I've never seen it happen to me back in the day.
No?
>>558726821Yes I remember. I still think the game was much better before 343’s title update. Killing sword blocking was gay and removing bloom from the DMR was completely fucking retarded considering it had over 3 times the range of the BR from 2 and 3, and could decimate every vehicle on its own.
I can’t ever go back to reach after experiencing infinite’s forge maps. How can you play through reach’s ugly grey ass maps and now go insane?
This is a Brick general, thoubeitever
>>558727539AAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>558726821It's really funny to me that the AR+melee combo was so reliable in Halo 3 that, instead of reverting melees to how they were in Halo 2, or nerfing melee itself, they just reworked how shields worked completely. What a retarded decision.
ITS OVERI POSTED HERE ABOUT IT...I GAVE UP
>>558727894what
>>558727894Fake Bungie fan. I bet you never played Oni either.
>>558706965No. But I’ll probably listen to the soundtrack if there is a throwback song of https://youtu.be/WlRM9-Rm34Q?si=6pQ0rCG2N0dfn8SG
>>558726821no>>558727179I've warmed up to the TU but still prefer vanilla yeah
>>558726821dunno what era that was in but it was both the gayest shit ever and the funniest shit ever akin to running an akimbo set up in cod
>>558726821Bungie made good games but man was the balance awful. There is not a single bungie halo title which wasn't dominated by one gun. (I mean starter weapon, power weapons like sniper don't count). Kind of a shame that almost every weapon was completely useless in multiplayer.
6v68v812v1216v1632v32What’s the actual ideal BTB size? Sometimes I feel overwhelmed playing infinites 12v12. Like there’s no when I can go without being sniped, and no real strategy beyond hoping I stumble across someone to kill.
>>558731503>Power weapons don't countThe whole point is players start with the same well rounded weapon and then use teamwork and skill to control power weapons/ups/positions. Everything else is secondary,
>>558736803This anon understands Halo.
Marathon status?
>>558732124Never played more than 8v8. Really depends on the map, sometimes 8v8 feels too small on the really big ones. 16v16 and 32v32 would require battlefield tier maps though
>>558736803>>558737000He’s talking about the non starter power weapons. Your plasma rifle, spiker, needler, commando, etc…These guns should be better than your starting weapons so you have a reason to use them but they’re often not.
>>558737432i found a cheeseburger machine before i got bored and went back to halo
>>558738127Most have niches and worth picking up. They aren't supposed to be strictly better or else map design would become nightmare. Everything is supposed to be centered around the power weapons (and power positions and power ups) to create good map flow that rewards map control without it snowballing too hard. The gun you start with is supposed to be able to be good at almost any range so that this snowball effect is harder to happen. AR slayer, when played by sweats, is much more easy to snowball because the starter weapon is too weak
Cheeseburgers are Halo.

I FUCKING HATE HERO SHOOTERS GODFUCKINGDAMNIT. I've been playing Marvel Rivals and Overwatch for the last year and I hate that shit so much, holy fuck. Nobody can Ult track, you can only do damage from time to time, the rest of the match is waiting, it's so boring and dumb. You can be the better shot but they got healed and the worse player suddenly wins. No skill, just bullshit. What kind of shooter allows someone to survive getting outplayed? It's so shit. The only reason I have to suffer these dogshit trash games is because 343 were so fucking retarded they fucked up the easiest win in history of Halo. THEY HAD IT. INFINITE WAS GOOD enough but no, LOL Industries fucked it and now I have to play these dogshit games because the one game that could've saved the industry died due to pure retardation. I hate 343 so fucking much bros
>>558746020same broski
>>558753174Unironically trve. Halo gameplay is now forever considered irredeemable uncslop.
>>558753174>playing hero shootersYou deserve, truly, every last misfortune and ounce of mental anguish that befalls you.
yhwach... won?
>>558753174>easiest win in history of HaloNah. Trying to first-time some open-world experience, chasing yet another huge resource-sink for launch (like SpOps and Warzone were) resulted in needless difficulty. Campaign looking and sounding fairly identical to pre-343 Halo was a great step, but you need to launch with environment variety. They know people expect stuff like Forge, Theater, Firefight and various other modes to be there, working well at launch. 3rd time in a row they opted to waste time on something that shouldn't have been a priority, instead of what's launching with what is tried and true. That content is also your safety net so that you can take risks with big new features (after launch) in case they aren't good enough to carry the game on their own. Pierre is setup to look good by just doing what is expected and sensible, because 343-era failed to do so multiple times.
>>5587321248v8 is stretching it on certain mapslongshore, standoff and default sandbox should be capped at 6v6

GOOD MORNING BLEACH NATION
Worst thing about Halo infinite gameplay was that the physics were worse than Halo 2. Objects never felt that they had the right weight and for some reason moved at half the fps of the actual game. And (perhaps to patch over the atrocious physics) when you used the grapple hook or threw a coil you were clearly not behaving under normal in game physics which made it feel jarring. All they needed was Halo 3 quality physics and those features would have been really interesting.
Halo? Shelved.Our "halo"? Dead.Marathon? Dysphoric.Mewgenics... WON. BIGLY.
Chinese game
>>558772229The grapple feels good, but everything else feels "off" I agreeThe gunplay is very good though. It's a shame the Sandbox is kind of boring.
>>558732124Halo is the outlier.
>>558775910Grapple in isolation was decent, but imo it was ruined by the way it was integrated. When you stop grappling you lose momentum instantly which kills most of the potential fun. Same with vehicles like the warthog, they have absolutely no momentum. Gta5 had the same problem with its physics, for some reason they needed the amazing gta4 physics to hell, so someone somewhere must think doing these things is a good gameplay decision.
>>558775910I really hate Infinite's gunplay. Aside from a couple of weapons, everything has an unnecessary amount of bloom and recoil. You're fighting your own gun more than you are other players. It feels nothing like Halo.
What did he mean by this?
>>558783203That a bunch of fat retards don't have enough problems in their lives.
>>558783203He intends to lead the chief to the command post to meet with the sergeant who has assumed command of the mission.
>>558783346Where are the fat marines at?
>>558783817they have too many problems to get fat
>>558780325If it's not your slice of pie that's fine. It's not my favorite Halo either. It doesn't "feel" as much like Halo due to the engine differences (CEmake will have this same problem) but it does "play" more like traditional halo than anything since H3.
>>558785003How does it play like traditional Halo?
>>558785272Halo multiplayer is defined by arena-style gameplay, emphasizing equal starts, map control, and the "Golden Triangle" of combat: weapons, grenades, and melee. Unlike modern twitch shooters, traditional Halo relies on a slower, more methodical pace where players spawn with basic weapons and must scavenge better weapons, such as rockets or sniper rifles, directly from the map
>>558785272See, this is where you guys get too hyperbolic and lose credibility.I don't like shitfinite either, but it clearly plays like a Halo game.
>>558785003This.We used to have the same discussions about Reach and 2A, with the former feeling more like Halo while the latter plays more like it.
>>558785789Infinite does not have a slower pace, nor does it have "arena-style gameplay."
>>558785961>Infinite does not have a slower paceYou should play more arena shooters.Infinite is slow as fuck.
>>558785868It really doesn't play any more like a Halo game than the other 343 games. There is still a huge emphasis placed on abilities for movement, and all of the guns are designed to delete people in under a second.>>558786012You should play more Halo.
>>558785961By this logic neither is Halo 1-3
All of Halo is slower than the average arena shooter. Lets not pretend Halomen reach the same speeds as say our Quakeguys or Unrealmen.
>>558786101>It really doesn't play any more like a Halo game than the other 343 games.You're smoking Crack is you think Infinite is on the same level of being like halo that 4 and 5 are.
>>558786101We get it, you weren't there for the 5 era
Infinite and all 343slop can go die in a fire, but the idea that Shitfinite at its core plays similar to 4 or 5 is some rediculous bullshit.The problem with infinite is that it's f2p slop that took forever to be worthwhile, and by then the pop had dried up, not that it doesn't play like Halo.
>>558786229How is it not? Especially for 5, there is a huge emphasis placed on sprinting and sliding everywhere. They just made the rest of the abilities pickups instead of inherent traits.
>>558786454I brought this up the other day. Basically people are so nostalgic for old halo that there isn't a single thing a new game could do to make them satisfied. They would be more satisfied with a game made by Marty and Jason that plays like objective piss. The nostalgia is that strong.
>>558786525>Especially for 5, there is a huge emphasis placed on sprintingThankfully Infinite is not Halo 5

>>558787987100%.Master Chief ended on the forward unto dawn drifting in space and lost forever. He was the only spartan who was actually missing in action, which is a perfect irony.Bungie knew to move away from Chief after Halo 3. Halo 4 was only made with chief as the protagonist as a cash grab. It butchered his character and that was that. Halo 5 attempted to move away from Chief as main character but we all know how that went, so they went and did the absurd soft reboot in infinite.

Halo is a weapon
>>558787987I was always baffled by how no prequels have ever been made in the 20-year span of the human covenant war before Reach (not coubting Halo Wars). Everything in the games takes place right at the end of the war, and everything following Halo 3 is always destined to be trash because to up the stakes from the threat of human extinction and elimination of all life in the galaxy you have to introduce terribly written nonsense. Halo is in the state it's in because they attempted to cash grab by going the easy route (milking John halo) and fucked the story so much that they lost the hardcore fans. That's why each game dies off in a month when the casuals quit.

Is there really no way to disband the Squad as the host in this game? I really have to Alt-F4 or kick everyone?
>>558787987Master Chief isn’t the problem. Never was. Noble 6 and Rookie did a good job being chief 2.0. But they probably should move on form him since Steve Downie is old and gonna croak soon. Either that or just bite the bullet and hire a new voice for him.
>>558808728Might be because everything pre halo CE is just halo reach over and over again until we get to halo CE. They’d need constant ass pulls to introduce anything interesting like how they managed to incorporate the flood into halo wars. I think focusing on sequels was fine, they just did a horrible job with it. Covenant should have been split into different factions with different goals, flood should have returned, prometheans should have been cooler and basically the necrons from 40k, and humanity should have still been on the brink of extinction and therefore motivated to keep the covenant preoccupied with internal conflict. You got at least 3 to 5 stories in there.
>>558824990Infinite's factions are what Halo 4 should have been. Brute warlords recruiting remnants of the Covenant, and a bunch of different Sentinels to fight.
>>558787987It's time to say goodbye to Halo as a whole. You can't have it without the Chief or without Halo rings. It doesn't need to go on and on like One Piece.
>>558824520I couldn't even listen to the dialogue in infinite because it's just cringe hearing that guy. He can barely speak now. They wanted to recast the actors for Halo 4 and they really should have recast them for this Halo 1 remake, but oh well, they didn't.
