Happy May the 4th :)
I'm so lonely
All the other regulars are scared of me. No one talks to me. No one wants to be my friend. They think I am unstable. They send me from thread to thread posting atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it, they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. Faggot. I don't even get a real name, only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no one sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point? Not a single person in the 'cord would care.
shut up and post the goat

Halo bros... we're backhttps://www.vice.com/en/article/halo-2-and-halo-3-remakes-are-in-development-according-to-xbox-leaker/
>>565858960>clan tag is raping minorsit's because he intentionally pushes people awayall his relationship problems are his own fault
>>565580586>It's funny how some bootlickers go "You just want Halo _ again!" while Microsoft does remakes of their own accord. There's no one who would prefer a remake to a good new game.Maybe they're doing more remakes as relatively low-risk projects where they get to grips with Unreal Engine. Then they can take that knowledge to make the next main Halo game better. I dunno. Also maybe the Halo 2/3 remakes are just in an exploratory phase at the moment, and might only be fully greenlit if Campaign Evolved does well. I'm just guessing though.>Anyway, it'll be interesting if Halo Studios is the era where they do things 'right', not for some genuine appreciation for Halo, but because they at least recognize it'll make them more money.Of course a successful game means more money. But if they achieved that then I bet a lot of so-called "fans" of so-called "classic Halo" would find ways to criticise a new, successful Halo game. "Noooo it doesn't do every single thing the same way that Halo 3 did!"

GOOD MORNING MINTO
>>565897732>t. man who just woke up from a 3 year coma
I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm just saying it wasn't in four minutes.
>>565894064If it's not on parity with Halo 1, it's shit, 3bab, not that you can understand our suffering.
In theory I should "like" a CE remake because a lot of that games level design is atrociously shit.A low budget UE5 asset flip wasn't what I had in mind.
>>565898932guten tag
>>565893809>halo 2 in unreal engineThanks I hate it more than anything I’ve ever hated in my life
>>565897732>>565902178You haven't even seen it and you're already dismissing it, confirming that you are everything that is wrong with Halo "fans".>>565899884I'm not a 3bab though, I was criticising 3babs. Also yes Halo 1 was a good game but I like a lot of the improvements in later games. E.g. the BR, covenant carbine, DMR, things like that.
Sprint, ground pound, clamber, things like that.
>>565893809wonder if they'll go for mostly the same story or use the unused plans for the Arknot a strong hope just curious to see how it turns out since Halo news reaches me even when I'm not browsing Halo-centric spaces
>>565895852Interesting. I thought I had read it to completion years ago when I encountered it on a whim here. Lately I've been seeing a lot of stuff I don't recognize so I guess it continued well past where I thought it concluded.
>>565906207There has never once been a good remake. Make new games. Do a full reboot. Do spinoffs. Anything but shitting out a worse version of your favorite games in unreal.>don’t play it then!!!I won’t. Don’t worry. I will still shit on it.>but you can’t have opinions if you haven’t played itI will have opinions on it. I do have opinions on it. I will post my opinions on it. It’s shit. >butI will shit on it
>>565906207>You haven't even seen it and you're already dismissing it, confirming that you are everything that is wrong with Halo "fans".I just have low hopes when I see people using UE5 because of how most of the games made on it run like shit. You CAN make good games with it and I'm hoping to god they do. I'm not "dismissing it", I'll for sure give it a try when those remakes come out and form an opinion on them afterwards; don't go out there I'm "everything that is wrong with Halo "fans"".
>>565914601>don't go out there SAYING*minor spelling mistake, It's over
>>565914379>but you can’t have opinions if you haven’t played itWho are you quoting? You're free to have opinions on whatever>There has never once been a good remake.Your opinions however are apparently shit regardless

>>565893809
>>565915049in fairness he's kind of referencing >>565906207 albeit hyperbolicallyBut yeah the idea that there has never been a good remake is retarded.
Here's the cold hard truth: The enemy of Halo at this point are Halo fans.If you're still a fan of this brand at this point, you're the biggest problem with it. You people need to be buried along with Halo so it can be reborn years later under something resembling competence.

>>565916796kek
>>565916312it is pretty funny how there's like seventeen-hundred Halo books and like 98% of them are completely irrelevant and will never be important
>>565915793disagree to agree.it's a shame that an overwhelming majority of halo fans are in their young adult range
>>565917204sorry
>>565917204>it's a shame that an overwhelming majority of halo fans are in their young adult rangeYeah because all the legacy fans have mostly moved on.The new fans are cattle that need to be slaughtered because a huge amount of them, at best, are super nostalgic for Reach. And again, that's at BEST.
>>565917204these auraless uncs are supposed to be a minority and halo studios fucked it up regardless of the rizz standards unc games have set
>>565917514i got halo 2 as a little boy and I rejoiced
>>565917928tell me more!
...
>>565919202i don't remember how old I was but i must've been around 7 which would mean it was like 2014
>>565917204Well yeah. Reach alienated a hell of a lot of people, 343i doubled down, and now we're here as a tiny minority of specters that are haunting various Halo communities.I've been thinking about going and getting my trans-green CE Xbox that was killed in a flood 21 years ago, and replacing the internals from a donor regular OG Xbox. Don't plan on playing anything because 30fps is intolerable for me these days, but it would be nice to have it working at least.
>>565821684>halo 2 and halo 3 in UNREAL remakes announcedIt took 10 years for 343 to kill GAYlo, but for me? It took 5 minutes
>>565919534MintGOD...
>>565921639He did not say that
>>565920612At the end of the day, the overwhelming majority of the population drop-off occurred due to CoD4 and its growing influence as a brand.Halo was never going to be THE GAME on Xbox again after that, and 343 is absolutely retarded for thinking it can release a glorified alpha and call it a full release, expecting it to maintain a stable population
>>565922102AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>565922102Delete this! The narrative must be preserved!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>565922102That's still a super healthy population all things considered.Very few games stay at over 500,000 players a month after launch
>>565922403At what point is a multiplayer population no longer healthy?
>>565922468>At what point is a multiplayer population no longer healthy?Anything over 20,000 players on average is healthy enough that you will get a good enough skill distributionIf it falls just under 10,000, the playerbase is big enough that you shouldn't have any trouble finding games, but sweats are going to make up a much larger portion of the active base, leading to more frusterating matches.Sub 5000 can start to lead to certain playlists being more or less dead.
>>565922102Apparently I'm a 343i shill when I point out that Call of Duty ate most of the gamer dudebro normie audience that was the vast majority of Halo's playerbase.I'm not sure why people think Halo had this nerdy playerbase, shit was mainstream as fuck. One of my most amusing highschool memories was my turbonerd autistic ass ending up being friends with a bunch of popular football players because people found out I had multiple 50's in H3. They wanted me to group up with them and they'd interrogate me about spawn timers, ect.
>>565922801b-but /v/ told me CoD and BF6 are dead with 40K +...
>>565923656fun
>>56592373840 thousand players is perfectly fine as far as playerbase, skill distribution, and overall "community health" are considered.Whether it is a good enough metric half a year out from launch for the parent publisher to consider a profitable enough income stream via buying micros in the in-game storefronts is another question.
>>565923656>Apparently I'm a 343i shill when I point out that Call of Duty ate most of the gamer dudebro normie audience that was the vast majority of Halo's playerbase.That doesn't make you a 343 shill as long as you don't advocate for Halo trying to get those people back via trend chasing
>>565894064Didn't expect to wake up and see a response. Anyway, no Halo is free of criticism. 1 has its critics for weapon limit and other features not like Marathon. 2 criticized for a variety of things even down to the lack of the 3-shot pistol. I could go on. Bungie was never 100% free of criticism.But there really is a baseline that many fans would be happy with: non-ability versions of core modes, environment variety, a look and sound that's Halo-like, Forge, File Share, Theater, Firefight and other expected Bungie-era features. 343-era got a lot of its slamming for having less content-packed launches than Reach. It felt like a failure to deliver over and over.Say they take the sane way of making Spartan gameplay faster: speed-up in all directions, the boost now applies to strafing, shooting isn't stopped by accuracy is meaningfully affected by the faster state. Done right some will call it revolutionary. Laughably, some will say they preferred gun-down-move-forward-faster-only Sprint. So even if we go back to an important fundamental (being able to shoot while moving at max speed) and evolve it within reason, there will be critics. However, many fans will be satisfied with this and... kinda have no reason to be louder than the critics. They're fine. They have no reason to be "loud" online. Never mind how many people online aren't even being genuine and just trying to fan the flames in the name of shitposting and trolling.But if Halo Studious can make a new mainline game that properly addresses how ability-centric and non-ability modes should be organized in a Halo, as well as finally having a launch that is at least as full of expected features as Reach, many fans will see this as progress, finally a step forward, and be too busy enjoying the game to post praise or criticism online lol.
>>565922102>stay on top of trendsWhen that was one of the guidelines for development I wonder how leadership decided what were the best trends to stay on top ofSo you add all these boosters to the armor but interestingly energy shields and most weapons not killing in one or a few headshots stayedCurious what kind of talks lead to keeping certain things and adding otehrs and would love to see those but I doubt they're recorded in audio or written format
>>565915793There really isn’t a noticeable halo fanbase anymore though. At least not one Microsoft can make money on. Theres plenty of people who liked a halo under Bungie. Former fans. Ecelebs can make a few dollars off them by making nostalgia YouTube videos like >halo 2 was a pretty cool game>heres a video compiling a bunch of Bungie vidoc footage hopefully Marty comments on my video (he’s the pinned comment)>forge was cool>interview with a former Bungie employeeIt’s not sustainable long term but you can get a short influx of nostalgia chaser viewers. But Microsoft hasn’t made money off halo since Reach. The actual niche that is the halo fanbase is a few thousand people playing MCC on Steam (not Xbox). And again. There is no money made there.

>>565887335what info is this color chart meant to convey>>565888541metroid dread was great
>>565957081better do your investing reps then
>>565955864Am I wrong for thinking the aesthetic peaked with Reach, and that it's been downhill ever since? The armor looks appropriately chunky and industrial and worn. You get a a huge amount of customization that for the most part, looks good, but doesn't overwhelm you with choices. The size and shape of the female spartans is also peak and led to an awakening.
yes because is gritty which doesnt fit halo o algo according to spergs here
>>565962368meant for >>565960463I didn't say anything about grittiness
>>565960463Reach had great design overall. I have weird little bits of autistic rage about the aesthetic though. I didn’t like Mk VI’s stupid mandatory stripe down the middle. It’s small but it killed me as an Mk Vi enjoyer. And I didn’t like the overall color patterns on armor which forced your secondary color below the knees. I’d you could pick your color patterns it would be 10/10 armor design. I also loathed the forerunner structures. While no big deal for campaign, it made forge world structures hideous. My only other thing is the Covenant looked a little washed out compared to 1-3. I know the game overall had that look but it would have been nice contrast if the Covenant were as colorful as in 3
>>565963213I feel you about the covenant color palette, it would've been a nice contrast against the dusty landscapes if they were a little brighter. The elite's designs also took a hit in terms of making them seem alien and hostile again; I'm not a fan of how Reach started the pattern of elites having similar proportions and body sizes as brutes, which was carried over into 4 and 5. The armor designs were cool, they just needed to rework the elite models to be a little smaller so that they aren't 9ft tall monstrosities clomping around with elephantine feet.
So you’re just going to keep the thread alive with “it’s over” posting like last time? How many years have you been at this? How many more will you suffer?
Fuck off Red.

>>565922102>>565923656I don't even know who would ever deny this except for people who just weren't there. If you had even a decent number of active people on your friend list you saw them all jump to cod4 and like 80% of them never return to the game you met them on. It's not even like halo died either there were still tons of people playing the game, even after reach released halo 3 was alive enough to get quick matches on any playlist.

>>565993698>w-why dont you guys play with your halo barbie dolls a-anymoreFuck off.
Someone's upset.
>this kills 343trannies
>>565993683I think it does a decent job of looking like a stripped-down prototype/disposable model of what the player would come to expect to find in a prequel game, which is ultimately what the intent seemed to be. Should it have had a 60 round mag like CE's? Yeah I would've preferred that desu, especially since its performance was otherwise the weakest in the series iirc? I'd have to check that "definitive halo reach weapon tierlist: campaign edition" video again, but from what I recall it was really only good at shield stripping.I can fully understand not liking the design and preferring the smooth look of all the other MA5 ARs though, I was mainly talking in terms of general aesthetic and not anything specific in particular. I simply much prefer Reach's design language to anything from 4 or 5. I think the hexagonal techsuits look cheap and corporate if that makes sense, I think the armor looks worse because it has so much less coverage than anything we saw from CE to Reach, looking more like a harness than actual armor, design language of the storm covenant or whatever they were looking like absolute ass, etc.Reach feels like the natural culmination of Halo's artstyle, and everything after (4, 5, INF) feels like a misunderstanding of what makes Halo look cool. I'm not bashing CE, 2, or 3, those all look great for what they are, I just don't think they should've kept trying to chase the "high fidelity/realism" dragon and that they should've stuck with Reach's level of detail.
>>565993054ok that was fun, fag

>>565994684>people think it does more damage than the h3 one due to the superior sfx and vfxIt's a pretty fun example of how important that shit is in how a weapon feels.
Yeah. It's hard to tell people that the H3 AR and every Plasma Rifle except Reach is actually pretty good because of how shit they sound and feel.
