>>559742418>can't shoot but move forward fasterno that's how you do sprint. you need a reasonable trade off for the slight speed boost it gives you. that trade off is that your weapon isn't always ready. you're taking a big risk for added mobility, which adds a new element to fights since now you've got more options in how you respond to an enemy engagement. you no longer just have to stand there and hope your enemy misses their shots if they get the jump on you. you have the option to reposition and reengage from a more favourable angle. it makes the game more complex, more challenging, and more engaging. claiming that 'well they can just have it affect your accuracy instead of putting your weapon all the way down' is complete retardation. you're literally acknowledging that you understand why the weapon has to go down in the first place. you're just asking for a slightly more forgiving version of it i.e. you want people to be spamming sprint more often with less risk. also people seem to conveniently always forget that slide allows you to instantly ready your weapon while you're sprinting. so you have a solution to those situations where you sprint into someone who has their weapon already up. responding to that scenario is a matter of skill. it's in your control. also i don't know why you're bringing up reach as if it has any bearing on the sprint argument, since sprint in that game was an ability, not a core mechanic that everyone had access to. that's what made sprint complete shit in that game. the only two games to do sprint right in halo are 5 and infinite. this is what's frustrating about talking about sprint in these games. people keep focusing on the worst implementations of it. if it was so unbelievable game breaking people would not have praised 5 and infinite's gameplay at launch, which is what happened. don't try and rewrite history and tell me otherwise...
yeah, I'm not reading that

>>559746158Introducing a forward boost to Halo changed the nature of a number of interactions-CQC weapon users get in closer but there is no sideways or backwards boost to balance it out--a fleeing opponent gets to live longer because now you can no longer move at top speed while firing--the change above means a teammate intercepting a chase can more easily save their pal because the pursuing player has to stop sprinting just to shoot--more instances of tag instead of someone moving backwards and firing because not firing and running is even a bit faster--in any scenario involving attacking a specific spot/objective the attackers get a forward boost to reach the spot faster but defenders don't get a sideways or backwards boost to balance it--if 2 players notice a 3rd coming they can't strafe away to maintain distance at the same speed as the approaching player can sprint at them while also being able to freely fire at one anotherThere's an audience for everything as they say, so this isn't about rewriting history. Even so "gun down, move forward faster" and all mechanics later introduced around that change, should not have replaced non-Ability Halo. A change doesn't have to break the game to be regarded as a bad or needless change. The post I initially replied to wasn't just talking about skill, but also about fun.You'll find people who like all sorts of offerings, but like I said before there are many modes where the gameplay becomes very different and that's where something like Sprint belongs. The two always could have existed and still can. Since the first game Halo had your more standard gameplay and then wildness like beating people with skulls. But for as much as I say the two can co-exist, it's also true that a Spartan would be able to move fast in any direction while still being able to fire, so it's more like all three can co-exist. So as I said before, there are just better options for Halo.
Or we just don't have sprint at all and save ourselves all that headache.
>>559747485I would welcome that, I'd just rather have something more appropriate for Halo's super-soldier premise IF Microsoft is going to continue mandating some form of speed-up mechanic in the games.

>>559754096Finally, an /hg/ anon asking the right questions.>SAWgoose>Gungoose>RocketgooseAdd sawblades or energy swords to the front or sides. Have a Covenant-themed version that shoots plasma rifle rounds and can charge into plasma pistol EMP blasts. Brute version, just slap it with dual brute shots and have the blades stick out in front like tusks so you can ram stuff. The sky is NOT the limit. Add rocket packs and wings so that if you drive fast enough, you can get air and use it to glide around when you deploy the boost. The mongoose is such a versatile vehicle, I don't understand why devs and modders haven't gone absolutely crazy with it. Just slap stuff on it and experiment. Heck even mount a turret where the passenger is or let you deploy timed/proximity mines as you skirt in front of a Scorpion or warthog.

Halo campaign evolved > battlefield 6 > Marathon
>>559799506battlefield 6 campaign was absolutely dreadfulbut it had a multiplayer so it beats champaign evolved by a mile
Anons I have been playing halo and enjoying this https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2915693904&searchtext= with my friend. Is there anything comparable for halo 2,3, odst and reach? We are long time halo fans and this mod is so fucking fun for campaign. We were thinking of using the lore accurate mod for reach. Looking for any suggestions.. we would love to play CE / 2 with 4 players but that doesn't seem possible either
>>559779060>and all would be forgivenNah. At best it would be a good Halo, but have some bells and whistles attached to it in terms of gameplay/cosmetics that clearly draw from Destiny/Marathon.Even if it wasn't Bungie, anyone making a Halo game now has a massive advantage in terms of hindsight and feedback. Plus Infinite setting the stage for both the positive reception to bringing back a lot of the Halo feel in campaign, but also the negative reaction to some awful monetization and content schedule ideas.But whoever is making the next mainline Halo basically succeeds or fails based on whether higher-ups at Microsoft mandate terrible things again. Even if Pierre wants to be faithful to what existed prior to the derailing effect of the "too traditional" moment, he, Bungie or anyone else given the Halo IP is subject to the whim of whether executives feel like trend-chasing again.

OG XBOX? SOULEd Fries (Xbox)>Ed was in college in 1984 when the game industry famously melted down. All these game companies went out of business, including the one I worked for. I had to get a real job, so I went to work at Microsoft. They put me on the first version of Excel for Windows. I was the youngest of seven programmers. We had a really difficult task to fight Lotus. Lotus 1-2-3 was the biggest PC software product in the world, and Lotus was the biggest PC software company>The head of the games group was leaving. They were looking for someone to run it. To me that was perfect. I was super excited about taking that job. I talked to my bosses and they said–multiple VPs called me into their offices. One said I was committing career suicide. Another told me, “Why would you leave Office, one of the most important parts of this company, to go work on something no one cares about?” That’s what they said about the games business in the mid-’90s>Seamus Blackley, Kevin Bachus, Otto Berkes, and Ted Hase. [The original Xbox instigators] were from the DirectX group, and so of course they wanted to make this thing called the DirectX Box, or Xbox for short. It was very different from what we shipped. It was a Windows PC that was in a box that made it look more like a console, and then pretended to be a console. You would stick a PC game in it and it would quietly install it in the background then it would run. It would behave like putting in a disc to play a game. That was the original proposal>They proposed something very much like–completely custom hardware, custom software, effectively a PlayStation. We proposed something that was very much like a Windows PC

That would be my response. But they didn’t like to hear that.>Peter Moore: "The hard drive in every Xbox killed us; we we're still selling it at $199 and the hard drive was like $70," Moore told UK newspaper The Guardian. "That's why we prematurely left the original Xbox, because the more we were selling – there was still great demand – it was killing us, and there was no way to bring the price down... To this day, people still believe we left the Xbox too early, but it was purely for financial purposes."

CPU+GPU on a single die. 360, PS3 and Wii didn't use x86 either, they all use some variation of IBM's Power architecture>Xbox 360 API uses an API similar to DX9, with only few extensions from DX10/11, like texture arrays or hardware tessellation>Microsoft doubled the Xbox 360's RAM, after Tim Sweeney showcased the difference between Gears of War builds on 256MB and 512MB. Costing Microsoft approximately $1bn>Xenos was factually the first commercial GPU to have unified shaders, and remained the only one until Nvidia released the 8000 series in late 2006. It wasn't possible for any contemporary GPU to do what the 360 was doing in 2005.>Xbox 360 gives developers a full 512MB to do with as they will.

It was supposed to have been simple. We give them Halo 3, and they give us Bungie. It turned out they wanted us to make more Halo so we agreed to make Halo 4 (which became Reach) and we would help with the Peter Jackson Halo game (which became ODST). Don Mattrick came in (replacing Shane Kim) and started playing hardball with Bungie. Then it turned out the top management at MGS decided that the holiday 2009 season had no major titles for Xbox and delayed the release of ODST and also upped the price to $60>Ensemble Studios started to work on Halo (having been acquired by Microsoft in 2001), first with a Halo MMO, and then Halo Wars. Bungie says Halo Wars was 'whoring out the franchise,'>Don Mattrick killed Ensemble Studios and its Halo MMO to protect his personal stock bonus>"We are... taking every advantage of everything on the CPU and GPU, and every bit of memory in order to produce the look of Reach beyond anything of Halo 3, " creative director Marcus Lehto noted Halo: Reach 'bending the Xbox as far as it'll bend,' Bungie assures>"Halo: Reach is NOT a Natal title and is being developed expressly with the traditional Xbox 360 controller in mind," Bungie said>At some point during Reach, Microsoft started building 343 to be the people to take over Halo.

>>559845604Don Mattrick (Xbox One)>"It was exciting to think about what a single purpose, dedicated entertainment console could be. So we picked that as a path with Xbox One. We wanted a broad device that touched all parts of gaming and entertainment.">Xbox 360 actually switched away from its predecessor's x86 chip to PowerPC, Xbox One switches back to x86>Xbox One was underpowered due to a DDR3/ESRAM memory system with less bandwidth overal than the GDDR5-equipped PS4>MATTRICK: "Some of the advantages that you get, of having, a box that is designed to use an online state, so, that, uh, to me is the future-proof choice, and I think people, could've arguably gone the other way if we didn't do it and fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity, it's called Xbox 360.">MATTRICK: "Well, if you have zero access to the internet, that is an offline device, I mean, seriously, when I read the blogs, and thought about who's really the most impacted, there was a person who said 'hey, I'm on a nuclear sub,' and I don't even know what it means to be on a nuclear sub but I've gotta imagine it's not easy to get an internet connection.">This also revealed Adam Sessler to be the only "journalists" who was fully on board with everything Microsoft was offering>After the horrible launch of the Xbox One in 2013 Don Mattrick left Microsoft to work as a CEO for Zynga>Studios working with the next-gen Xbox are currently being forced to work with only approved development libraries, while Sony is encouraging coders to get closer to the metal of its box>Ryse, Dead Rising 3, Quantum Break, State of Decay, and Sunset Overdrive are just part of where Microsoft was MOSTLY pushing third-party>Cliff Bleszinski: Gears of War Franchise Was Sold to Xbox Because Epic “Didn’t Know What to Do With It">Halo MCC was broken in so many ways... it was quite literally unplayable, and the worst launch for the franchise by far
>>559845957Don Mattrick (Xbox One)>"We had people who we hired who hated Halo because of 'X,'" says O'Connor. "But what that really meant was, 'I feel like this game could be awesome because of 'Y input' that I'm going to bring into it. I want to prove it, and I'm passionate about proving it.' So we ended up with a bunch of people who were genuinely passionate about the product. That is a huge advantage, and that helped in hiring and forming our team.">"It's during that time you're questioning yourself: 'How is this going to work, will it be as I envision it in my head?" says Holmes. For Halo 4, he says there were a few epiphany moments that helped boost the morale of the team. One of the earlier ones that Holmes recalls was when the team completed a small piece of the Halo experience that he described as a "very traditional" Halo. User research showed that people thought it was a lot of fun, and it showed that the team was capable of making a Halo game that was true to what the series was about>343 scrapped it, Holmes says, as it was too traditional. But that first build showed the new team that this amalgamation of different studio cultures could work together and achieve a common goal.>Frankie promised a full, detail explanation on what happened with MCC that he gave FOUR YEARS later and only after being conrtantly reminded of it. He told us that the story for Spartan Ops was planned long, long in advance but then it was revealed that the big conclusion of Requiem being hurled into the sun was something he thought of on the spot then and there. He told us during the backlash from Black Team's deaths in Halo:Escalation that this wasn't something done on a whim or lightly but had been planned as part of the story for a long time.

Campaign Evolved will surely be ruined and there will be no Halo after it.
>>559852378I read Empty Throne and one of those bootleg spartan mofos almost beat in CQC a Spartan-II in Gen I Mark V EOD who was sabotaging a slaver's operation. Then the II decided to stop being dramatic and got a killing spree on a whole fireteam of them.What surprised the fuck out of me was that they really had the full kit, augmentations, a bootleg mjolnir with energy shields and were all trained to some proper extent too.

>>559855760>Janissaries being made by bad human actors and Banished forces and the UNSC can't stop it.>Executors allegedly being mass produced and deployed by the Created according to that teaser from the Halo Waypoing Chronicles compilation vol 1.>A recent book had a Spartan betraying the UNSC for the "Covenant", said guy was a supremacist of his own, also the same Prophet head honcho hints at having the means to make more Prelates but not the pop and that's how he won that other traitor over, so there's a high chance the most powerful Covenant remnant faction is making "human prelates" as a bandaid measure to their own lack of supersoldiers due to lack of San Shyuum to enhance into Prelates.Everyone's getting their own flavour of Spartan.Fuck my UNSC life.
Why does MCC get so much hate
>>559858776CE:A is based on the Gearbox port, H2A kills the licensed music and replaced it with garbage, Halo 3 and ODST are played straight, and I don't have anything at all to say about Reach.

>>559850376Atriox needs to be stronger than Chef, if not then Troon4Troon is shit. There always is a bigger fish, and in case of Chef that is Atriox.
>>559862591>dies???This will go on after thread 2000, don't kid yourself.>>559897316CE and Reach best palettes.
>>559898805>Atriox needs to be stronger than ChefI respectfully disagree, not because "muh chief" but rather because Atriox is too forced. They do this every game now. The Didact was too strong for Chief. Locke was put of nowhere depicted as on par with Chief (no I don't care that bookshit tried to retcon this) and Empress Cortana was very clearly tok strong for him. And now Atriox is too strong. It's all so tiresome.
Having a blast with Marathon, bros
the poster above does not exist, it's just an AI bot I programmed to occasionally bump this the thread to keep it from dying.No need to thank me, clearly I need to work out some kinks to keep its content more on topic and less irrelevant.
>>559899512
Fear not. Halo Infinite's air support has arrived to save /hg/.
>>559899648big stinky
Er...never mind. Perhaps /hg/ is doomed after all...
>>559899240Didact and Empress Cortana are just meme shit and I don't care about Halo 4 and 5 story at all, retcon that shit. But Atriox could be if not stronger then equal to Chief.
>>559899648uh oh...STINKY
>>559898978I'm stopping posting after 2000 and I don't think there's been a thread this winter that I haven't at least once single handedly kept from dying (3+ hours without a bump)Yeah we'll make it past 2001, but everything after is borrowed time time.
>>559901794Then move it to /vm/ and don't sweat with /vg/ bump times.
>>559858776>No 4 Sorry Marty but you just lost a Vote…
If you live in Nevada, reminder to NOT vote for Marty in the Republican primaries this summer.
Is Marty still running? I thought he gave up after the last poll? Either way getting old sucks. Looking at his Halo days compared to now is genuinely sad.

Stop sexually harassing the other posters.
The history leading to the modern Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruisers (CG-47 class) represents a convergence of several key technological advancements in U.S. Navy propulsion, weaponry, and combat systems. While the Ticonderoga class itself uses conventional gas turbine propulsion, its development was shaped by the broader evolution of naval warfare, starting with nuclear propulsion's influence on extended operations and fleet design, progressing through the integration of guided missiles as primary armaments, the creation of the Aegis combat system for multi-threat management, and the adoption of vertical launch systems (VLS) for enhanced flexibility. This narrative traces that path, culminating in the Ticonderoga class's current form, where surviving ships incorporate advanced upgrades for ballistic missile defense (BMD), integrated air and missile defense, and multi-mission roles.
Yeah, I think I'm just going to filter that word.
>Yeah, I think I'm just going to filter that word.
That's okay, there are plenty of other ways to describe that class of ships.

>>559954224in English now please
>>559954224I actually agree with over 90% of thisThe one thing I consistently agree with is the idea that these things make any of the games shit.They are all varying degrees of good or great despite them.Except 5.5 actually just blows.
