The Endless has arrived
forced
The excitement I had for the skulls has already worn off and I no longer care about the demake.
I'll admit it... I'm a little excited.
Bleach is the root of all.
>>570160163I can't emphasize how much of a different vibe the dead/pineless trees give offI don't hate it, but it just feels so different to me
>>570160373AAAAIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>570160309to each his ownSkulls are the biggest thing making me interested
Halo CE will both be the best Bungie era Halo and the best 343 era HaloTotal CE domination
>>570160309I will post enough webms to make you feel excited again, do not worry :).
>>570160514>best of the bungie erai'll just leave this here
Halo remake looks funi just want to know if they're stopping at the trilogy or just rebooting everything
I C O N I C
>>570160678they will follow the moneyJust look at Resident Evil
Skulls are forced and not Halo, sorry.
>>570160798halo infinite evolved, coming exclusively to an xbox 720 near you
>>570160820worst opinion I've ever seen if legitSkulls add so much to the replayability of the games
I hate to break it to the doomers, but yes, the Halo General will be playing the new Halo Game.
APOLOGIZE
Since WHEN did Halo fans care this much about skulls? You never see anyone talking about them outside of LASO purposes.
I like skulls...
The only skull I care about is the kind your mom gives me.
>>570161071I understand your confusion. You have to be ancientfag to remember the skull hunt guides for 2 and 3
>>570160447The initial excitement was there, but it's already worn off with the realization that most of the skulls are not new and the "classic" skulls are all halfassed attempts to pacify people who don't like the gameplay changes.
>>570161257I understand your irrationality, but alas it was a post hoc.
>That was twenty five years ago.>This is now.
>>570161257that one skull hidden at the bottom of the fucking ocean...
>>570161071I've always cared about the various options you can play with in each Halo game.
>>570161438Change for the sake of change. It's Halo Reach Anniversary all over again.
>>570161642Overexposed visuals, excessively shiny interiors, meshes over-greebled. Getting blinded every time a shield pops, crappy sound design. Hand-holdy dialogue and markers.
doomers lost BIGLY
>>570161642>We heard you, fans! We added a skull to make the Assault Rifle hold 60 rounds!>...but we didn't change anything else about it. Enjoy your 10 rounds per second laser beam.
>>570161578>>570161730>>570161925cope and seethe
>>570161642Pretty>>570161578Nah, there's way less changes then CEA had. Still enough to be worth critiquing, though, sadly.
>>570161578It's crazy how Halo 3 and R34ch fans are into graphic nowadays. It might even be the biggest giveaway. The Halo game doesn't register as an American thing to me anymore. I immediately think of Bay Area diasporoids desperately trying to fit in and look cool.
>>570161028NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>570161438looks good
>>570158389It's too expansive for what it is.
>>5701600782nd Level looks really nice
>>570162326They are that desperate for conformity.
Is this the halo thread?
I’m waiting for my KING to give his illustrious and OBJECTIVE thoughts on it. I love Israel btw.
>WOAW PRETTY GRAPHICSThe bar is so fucking low
>>570163059That's all this remake has, because none of the gameplay changes are worth praising.
>>570163119using the sword and being able to board are worth praise
>>570163261Meh
IM GONNASKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL
>>570162326A cut too deep.They won't even know they are already wasted.
He's afraidHE'S AFRAID
>blood splatters on the screenUnironically soul.
>no blood splatter onto the ground that lasts until RAM clears itsovlless.
>>570163785>They fucked up the FOV. Of all the "modern" trends to chase, higher FOVs bothers me the most. It takes the thing you are shooting at and makes significantly smaller, exactly the opposite of the human eye.He really is a retarded boomer.
This is where I discovered /hg/
>>570164559On Facebook for Xbox?
OH MY FREAKING FORERUNNERS GUYS THE HECKING COVENANT CRATE FROM HALO 1 IS LITCHERALLY BACK
>>570165082
We like the Halo 1 Covenant crate here.
Source?
>>570165082>>570165215Just put the lore videos in the bag midge.
Those reused H5 animations for the pistol is still fucking terrible.
soulful*
I'm getting chills...
buncha shills ITT
>noooo you have to be bitter and miserable forever like meShut the fuck up bitch.
>Now, something I will say, the first thing I did when I booted the game up before I even played it was I went to the settings and I turned hit markers off. And you know what? I would highly recommend that you do the same when you play this game because this game has really good visual feedback on the enemies. Hit markers are a complete waste of a feature. You don't need them on. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!Ha!
>>570168825 You were given accessibility options; don't be such a Debbie Downer, mate.
>those reachisms were the marine ai struggle with pathfinding to get into a vehicle seat and won't fucking fire is back in full force
Can't believe slop defenders came out of nowhere this week. Wish the thread was just dead again. I despise people who willingly eat shit.
I don't think they have, mate.
>gears devs boasted about remaking all assets from the ground up>halo devs still using decade old reach assetsHalo sissies…
>>570162639They did a good job with the parts of it I've seen so far. Better late than never.>>570163360Although seeing this makes me realize once again how this remake could easily go from good to great if integrity was a top priority.
>>570171190Lol, we don't talk about Gears here. That shit is fucking dead since Judgement. Everything after 3 was a mistake.
>>570160078Truly flawed... but truly beautiful too>Halo Reborn announced 3 years agopretty pleased with Evolved in the way I'm pleased by a good looking fan modjust can't say with sincerity that it felt like Microsoft brought their best for a paid remakeconsidering piracy and Game Pass (even free trials) maybe that's why they figured it wasn't worth going all-in
>>570171836>that dumb wall shit on the edge of the ring againUgh, it looks terrible and makes it feel a lot smaller every god damn time.
>>570171965hadn't homed in on it but I can see what you mean when the wall is that obvious from that far awayit's definitely better when at that distance it looks more like you could just walk off the edge or incline even though you know if you zoomed/were there you'd see a raised portion that prevents that
>>570163785>>570164373Jaime is well onto the schizo arc nowHe's not Marty status but he's getting there
>>570172456nah
Carrier Forms.
>>570172456The difference is Jaime hasn't burned every bridge possible.After this year Marty will have literally nobody left.
He burned my bridges, if you know what I mean.
>>570172739it is pretty wild how obsessed with the Flood he is
>>570172456Their minds are hunting the truth. Some will reach it quick as Cortana. Some will accept its telling with ease like Chief. Others will have to fight against their previous beliefs like the Heretic leader and Arbiter. In time they will see.
>sprint off>randomise enemy encounters on>tougher enemies on>famine on>iron skill onAnything else?
>>570173223Banana skull with the Overheating skull. Use only a plasma rifle.And... You're all set.
nothing is fun anymore
>>570173223Is there a skull that causes infinite spawns? With or without infinite ammo it could turn some places into a Firefight-like sort of experience.
Lol, we don't talk about Halo here. That shit is fucking dead since Reach. Everything after 3 was a mistake.
>>570174435AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
you control the buttons you press
...on your vibrating buttplug.
>>570174435TRVTH
Shan't be pressing the "Buy now" button in that case.
>>570172456PC bros... our response?
>>570176360I don't care what this has-been has to say on anything.
>>570176360Why that and not Xbox?
>>570176360I will never stop telling people how when I was going to college for game design, they pointed to the MCC Remake graphics as a thing NOT to do when designing a game as it ruins readability. The only reason games still look like this is because they haven't hired anyone new yet.
>>570176360>made with console in mind>playable on PCSounds fine to me. I remember flipping between multiplayer for Reach on 360 and CE on PC on the same day for years. It was fun.
>>570176726I remember being surprised by seeing some newbies try CEA as their first and end up settling on the old graphics after a few hours because they felt clearer or more appealing over all. This was back before a lot of the fixes to the old graphics had come.
>>570177123The graphical fixes that MCC has gotten were all minor changes.
>>570176360Considering these fucking hasbeen retards say shit like "it should be 30 fps as we intended and 60 fov!!!" they can piss off.
According to David Krüger, the French voice of the Master Chief, he, Laëtitia (the voice of Cortana), and none of the original cast members were brought in to record for the Halo: Combat Evolved campaign.According to him, Halo Studios/Microsoft has used AI to replace them...
>>570176451>>570177379(you)
>>570177668Even the remake devs put in more effort than today's baitposters
>>570177668>has-been: one that has passed the peak of effectiveness or popularityAll of the OG Bungie Halo devs are has-beens. Look at what Joe, Marcus, Marty and Jaime have done since 2010.Disintegration? Halo Infinite MP? Golem? Fives Days in the middle east shithole?
The inconsistent use of classic-ish SFX and random generic bullshit ones is annoying. The AR uses CEA stuff, then all the other UNSC weapons just sound like rifle_gunshot_4.wav.
Anyone wanna play a few rounds of firefight on Infinite?
>>570178801No, the AR sound is closer to classic then CEA's was, it seems to me.A shame since I vastly prefer CEA's AR sound>then all the other UNSC weapons just sound like rifle_gunshot_4.wav.IE: good
>>570178801Halo's sounds were all random generic bullshit from stock sound collections. It's 343 who decided it would be a good idea to make their own custom sounds.
Why are they making Jen say the lines like that. It sounds like they are making her do the "oh teehee I am so naive and clueless I'm so innocent :)" thing from not-Cortana in Infinite rather than how sharp she was in CE.
>CARRIER FORMS
>>570171965welp I can't un-notice it now. That is really fucking stupid. It makes the scale nonsensical.
>>570177526Bungie didn't work on Halo PC. They outsourced it to Gearbox. lacks certain shaders, ie jackal shields, cov shields, dropship plasma, AR shadersBungie didn't work on Halo 2 Vista. They outsourced it343 didn't work on CEA. They outsourced it.343 outsourced CEA and H2A to Saber Interactive for FREE using the inferior PC ports as the base and Sean Cooper spent 5 years fixing the broken ports343 outsourced terminals in Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary to Sequence343 outsourced Reach DLC maps (Defiant Map Pack/Anniversary Map Pack) and Halo 4 DLC maps to Max Hoberman and Certain Affinity (multiplayer, online, and UX design lead for Halo 2 and Halo 3)Halo 4 campaign just feels half-baked. It has sections that feel empty, lacking content. Removed point scoring. As a result, the timer was also removed(used for speed runs). You can't view the campaign terminals ingame; you must go to waypoint. Forge Island gives us ten times less budget than Forge World. Removed Race, Territories, Stockpile, Headhunter, and Juggernaut. “Infinity” gametypes include instant respawn, perk packages and customized loadouts (COD). "Legendary" gametypes fixed this.Halo 4 and part of Halo 5 are the only game 343i actually put together themselves with their in house studio, MCC and especially infinite has been nothing but wrangling contractors and contract studios. Infinite has something like 5 confirmed studios that worked on it. That is why their dev cycle takes so long and fucks shit up constantly(besides the technical debt). 343 is just an umbrella studio that directors other contract studios into making broken messes of games. Its why everything except Halo 4 is a broken retarded mess because Halo 4 was the only 343i title actually done in house and not through 20 corporate suit games of telephone and Zoom meetingsMCC was outsourcedhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpklokblI006QYtGlxUeds747lPZD_JSph56qLJqzhwCampaign Evolved will be outsourced
>>570166632>Those reused H5 animations for the pistol is still fucking terrible.How much asset reuse is in Campaign evolved so far?
>>570161925The fire rate does increase with the skull activated.

Escharum just raped my nephew.
And Minto.
>>570180778Huh, you're right. It goes from 8 frames between shots to 5. But it's still perfectly accurate.
>THE COMM CRATE IS BACK>AND IT HAS THE SAME SOUND EFFECTS
>>570182443I've seen that shill Ubernick, HiddenXperia, and Kammyshep all point this out in their videos for the demo they were given access to. Were they all told to mention this shit?
>t-t-the wall on the r-ringIt was there since day one you dumb motherfuckers. You stupid fucking apes.

The shill cope about how the weapon escalation was still preserved like the earlier builds is gone now >wtf is the BR doing here, useless weapon with the pistol in the mix they should've ported the flamethrower instead
>>570180471Are those helper tips something that can be toggled off, or that are only for easy and normal?
Reading ALL of it.
>>570183742>>marine QoL fixes are excellent (hopefully they will be able to drive vehicles other than Ghosts too)They've already been shown driving warthogs in one of the trailers
>>570181874>But it's still perfectly accurateWhen tapping the trigger or when holding it down?>>570182443It's interesting how that could be treated with such reverence yet elsewhere and for even more meaningful matters that reverence is not there. Although it is just a crate so remaking it in high fidelity would be far quicker than other assets.>Joe having to negotiate to get people time to make Marines more capable in InfiniteAmong other things. Corporate game development is really strange sometimes.
>>570183694>all character animations are reach except for the flood which are 3Didn't they do this in CEA?
>>570183742>>Reach banshee model againIncorrect. It's a hybrid of classic and Reach. Classic wings with their boosters with the Reach style main body.
>>570184252Nah that was models. The animations were CE (except for the the anniversary graphics cutscenes) since it still had the OG game logic running just with Saber's engine inserting itself in as the renderer.
>>570184150>When tapping the trigger or when holding it down?Looks to be when firing it full auto if the trailer isn't buggy. But that could also be a no-bloom skull, because the reticle wasn't reacting at all to firing when it does normally.
>>570183742>wtf is the BR doing hereYou ask this, I ask why the fuck the Beam Rifle is there.
>>570183742>The whyIt'll be interesting to see how it all plays out.
>>570184732Good thought. I would enjoy an AR that hit right in the center when single-firing at a certain rate. When I discovered it almost did this in the original I was very pleased since it let me use the cover art weapon much more often.
>>570185051I think they should have just copied ODST's SMG. That is the definitive Halo automatic to me.
>>570185130Assuming they haven't shown everything yet you just might get your wish, even if it's treated more like a rare or even out-of-the-way variant.
>>570185274They have. They explicitly told us how many weapons were going to be added when the game was revealed. And they decided to waste a third of the slots on redundant weapons.
I guess the flood elite guy was laid off before he could finish it.
>>570183694Fuel rod model is from reachAlso the marines are from infinite who are from reach
>flood use halo 3 animationYou got to be fucking kidding me. Was this game made with a shoestring budget? Is it too much to ask for some new flood in my halo game already?
>>570162326yeah
>>570185857It's close to the Reach one, but it's been modified.
>>570161028nooooooooooooooo
>>570185857It's not.
>>570161238that's not nice.
>>570160381why are you tearing the thread apart?
If they can add Brutes to CE, then they can also add Prometheans . Simple as.
>>570183694>https://youtu.be/H4EiUYJ2lIk?t=132>that pathetic racking of the shotgun pump after the reload
>>570186589
Did Bungie ever reuse assets?Why is there so much asset reuse in 343 games?
>>570187432Out of sight out of mind approach regarding reuse.
>>570187432I think the Halo 3 rats appeared in Reach. All of their games had pretty big art style changes, so most stuff was thrown out or iterated upon.
>>570187432Sometimes. A few models from CE were retextured for 2. Random props and clutter objects from 3 were in Reach, ect.CE-Reach were from a time where there was so much technical advancement between each game that for the most part you were better off remaking each time. And Reach has a completely different artstyle to 3 that they couldn't really reuse anything (Reach was the first time Grunts had animated fingers by the way).
Assets reuse is the reason why we used to get sequels within a few years of each other instead of waiting 8 years for a follow up.
>>570187893Weren't the Reach models so high poly that the 360 couldn't handle it?
>>570187951They had a pretty aggressive LOD system in place so that the game ran acceptably. Reach's biggest issues with performance were forge maps.
Deals are made with community members & reporters to play the game early and speak positively about the game. The hype right now is composed of a shill campaign and the natural excitement of a new Halo title. It's the honeymoon phase. Toxic positivity trumps honest criticisms.
>>570188143This.
Very few games age like wine
>>570187951Yes and no. They clearly were running into issues at some point because some of the Reach models have clearly been quickly run through a decimate modifier because they're a bit messy and melty looking.The model of the Spartans before they did that turned up in some VR thing and they're much cleaner.
>>570188143Edward Bernays talked about this.
Why does Infinite look worse than Halo 5
>>570188362Agreed. Halo 3 is timeless, and seems to get better with age.
How does it run on linux?
We are the Gears of War E-day niggas
>>570188567Had to run on essentially 3 different console generations
>>570189225But Halo 5 targeted the weakest of those three, while also running at double the framerate.
>>570183742>classic marinesThey're infinite marines that have hats and eyepieces shoved onto them, they're like 10% classic and 90% infinite marines>pistol sounds like shitIt sounds fine, even if it could be better. I don't know what's up with the community and their constant allergy to new sound effects when the classic SFX for most things wasn't even that good>elites are way more sluggish than CE's, especially the gold elitesIf this is true then this might be the biggest issue with the entire game. Elite combat is one of the best parts of CE and that being neutered is a serious black spot that risks overshadowing everything else it does well. The thing is, I haven't really obviously noted this myself. Admittedly CE is my least played Classic Halo game, but they seem fine to me, I think? Do you have any clear cut examples of this? I saw HiddenExperia say that the AI was acting up and getting caught on shit and not going aggro, which is it's own issue, but that's not quite the same thing as the AI when aggro'd and in combat being worse then in CE/ReachIf it is an issue I really hope it's something they can patch and I hope the community draws enough attention towards it.>environments clearly designed around sprintAren't they the same scale as the original game? Do you have examples of things that aren't?>why does the skull restoring the 60 round AR give it perfect accuracyAgain, got a clip of this?
Be very cautious, this is Xbox, one of the biggest DEI peddlers in the world. VERY LIKELY to update for modern audience, especially things like Cortana. They'll use your nostalgia to swipe your money.
>>570185602I can't refute this... I'm glad it's not the worst example is all
>>570186589That's meant to be a remake of the same scene?>>570186917Would be interesting to see more Sentinel tech in CEI wonder if they thought about a redesign and thought about the terminal where Spark says he wishes some of them were here
NOT RECOMMENDEDHas forced arbitration and/or class-action waiver.
>>570189459>got a clip of this?It's in the trailer.
>>570185602I prefer the second x5000And the Nvidia AI no longer works like that, it makes games look even better and frame generation is barely perceptible now, particularly at x2.
What's our response?

>>570190354No.
>>570189887my response is that while I'll main the game on PC, if I want split screen, I'll just use my Xbox.

>>570188567>constantly omitting or downgrading huge features for launch>somehow the Infinite iteration of 343 will successfully do open world as first-timersIt was just ridiculous to think it could be pulled off well enough and was worth more than features people generally wanted and expected for launch. Good launch packed with expected pre-343 features, then surprise with a massive environment for the expansion/DLC would've been a much better way to do things.

Who are the doomers?
>>570191646Wizards, Dank, JJAB, etc.The same people who already don't play Halo anyway.
>>570191737who?who?the [censored]?
I hate to be the one to break it to the consoomers but, yes, the Halo General will rightfully criticize the new Halo game.
>>570191793exactly
NGL I was neutral-to-positive on the remake after the weekends reveals.The gameplay footage today pushed me back into the negative camp. It looks like it plays like a shit Reach mod that busted the AI.
Yep, that's right, THE u/JJAB91 from reddit!
>>570191737whatever they played the previous 4 games...
>>570191842Was this ever in any question?We already criticize even the good halo games lol
HEY THEREJAY JAB
>>570191873I guess everyone is different.The skulls have me pretty hyped now.
It looks fine
>>570191967As we should. It's strange how some people are so against discourse for greater future quality.

Why does 343i not understand that the Sentinel Beam isn't actually a normal weapon for humanoids.They keep making it have grips and handles, it's meant to be the integrated weapon that got blown off the Sentinel.

>>5701923763 steps forward 43 steps backwards!I said the thing everyone.
>>570192376Never thought of thatI'm just glad we can use it
Why has nobody pointed out the shills are lying about only being able to play Silent Cartographer and Assault on the Control Room? Ubernick shows the mission select screen and 343 Guilty Spark is available for them to play.
>>570192471Of course!You don't think. Focus, W.
>>570192490Maybe they are under NDA
>>570191873>modFor me it's like a fun-looking fan mod or almost as if the people working on Halo Reborn got extra helpAs a paid Microsoft product it could've been much better but maybe knowing people would acquire it for free via the seven seas or just with their existing Gamepass contributed to them not going as hard as they could haveI once put forth the idea that it was ultimately a big advertisement for Halo Studios first and foremost and the anon I was speaking to could see that angle but called it grim lol
>>570171190I’m actually kinda excited for both Halo and Gears, shits gonna be litty, gonna emulate Gears 1-3 again before October
What happened to all the bump mapping for Campaign Evolved?
>>570192829How does Gears 2 and 3 emulate? I've been wanting to play through those 2 again since I haven't played them for easily 13 years.
>>570192829i'm just excited for 4 player co op
>>570192954Converted to tessellation mapping
>>570192992I'm not.What I am absolutely excited for is HaloFest Co-op skull event.
>>570192992thisgonna get drunk with the boys
>>570192984NTA, haven't tried 3 yet but 2 works pretty well on Xenia. You can play against bots and it runs pretty smooth. Now, if I could just figure out how to get Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 1 and 2 to run without being a buggy mess...
>>570193252thisgonna get drunk with the boys
>>570192643We need to be reporting Ubernick for breaking his NDA :D
who asked for british elite voices?
I did
AAAAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
you think they'll recreate the mark 6 armor again for halo 2/3 remake or just reuse infinite's with slight adjustments
>>570195113>or just reuse infinite's with slight adjustmentsif they even happen after devolved bombs
>>570189887Oh you got to be fucking kidding me. Are these cunts for real? Playing this crap with my brother who stopped gaming years ago is the only reason I had any interest in this garbage. I am not buying a series X just to play this shit with my brother.
>>570195113Here is your 2/3 Mark VI.
>>570195402bingo
>>570195402yeah i forgot about thatit'll probably be this but with some tweaks
>>570195402>>570195568I really like the armored bits but the undersuit has too many parts that stand out just a bit too much. Likely to have a better impression when in-motion but I guess it could just be darker and less reflective.
>>570189887Peecee Halo does not have it.
HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THIS GAMEPLAY broshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6JyOj-7tH8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6JyOj-7tH8
I must give props to 343i for finally killing fucking picatinny rails on weapons. Fuck Reach for adding that shit, it's in the 26th century FFS.There have this magnetic looking rail thing going on with the sniper rifle and shotgun.
What reason is there to play this? >no multiplayer or firefight>asset and AI reuse through the roof>ugly art direction because of the asset reuse>couldn’t be bothered adding any new enemies or AI, especially for the flood>missions are largely the same layout>exact same story I’ve seen before only with worse dialogue and voice acting>all the women are ugly>no new weapons or vehicles. Just stuff that’s appeared in previous halo games.>the new missions are only 3 missions and undoubtedly short>performance is shit thanks to real engine 5>none of the new cool movement, armour abilities, or other tech added in infinite life throwing fusion coilsAll I’m seeing is garbage
Classic Halo gameplay:>www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMEXTjut3wM(Pozole included, which automatically waves the ad space requirement)
>>570196378I will... later.
>>5701968194 player co op with skullsNobody is making you play it with us tho
Are those rear sights backwards?
>>570196819AAs are not all that and should have always been in their own variant playlists and Customs, never replacing pre-AA gameplay.
>>570196819Oh and no split screen on PC so I can’t even play with my brother. So much for Xbox’s second coming.
You live with your brother still?
>>570197183>except if you’re on PC…
>>570197380it's just lil troll
>>570197402I can't take part in 4-player co-op if I'm on PC?
>>570197241Yes.
>>570197512nah you can
>>570197512yes you canYou can even have 1 player on playstation, 1 on PC, and 2 on the same Xbox if you want all playing togetherNo idea what the other person is smoking
Campaign Evolved is GOOD for a Halo-themed tech demo
>>570197584>>570197668ah ok thanks broslooking forward to itmaybe the library will be less shit with 4 people
>>570197512nah you gotta get them to bring their xbox one and a mac
>>570197670it will probably end up being good enough but I do with it had multiplayer.
So, what's the verdict? Are we truly back?
Any of these fags that got the private demo talk about performance?
Not sure if I'll get it in a hurry but one fun thing to do is have some Warthogs blocking the Stealth Elites and watching the firefight after you deactivate the security system during TSC.
>dude it’s ok that they don’t include all the features that Xbox has on PC because I personally don’t use themDisgusting subhuman mindset
>>570197875just play it and decide for yourselfIt's a single player game.
>>570198018I will use them, on my Xbox.Otherwise I'll play on my PC.Checkmate atheists and poorfags.God is good.
>>570198123AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>570197875We’ve never been further from back
>>570197839I was thinking earlier about how the effort to make those new missions could've gone to some events on Reach or a Firefight modeOutright multiplayer would've been real cool with Evolved assets but I wouldn't be surprised to later see a tie-in with Infinite like CEA did with Reach
>>570198123
BECOME THE HOPE
Some of you Halo fans are proving my point every single day.Some of y'all really don't want shit to change and want it the same the same exact way despite the fact that Halo has never had a consistent art style.
>>570198530>despite the fact that Halo has never had a consistent art style.I was going to make a post about this the other day but stopped when I realized that 95% all the shit changing for no reason started with H3.
>>570198530I prefer CE's art style2 is too muddy and crunched3's is too plasticky and cartoonyReach generally looks alright but I HATE the grain filter4 and 5 are disgustingInfinite made an effort but needed more time in the oven stillI don't hate CEmake, but UE5 is still "next gen slop" imo.
>>570198953BASED BASED BASED
But are you ready to take the next step?
>>570198953>UE5 is still "next gen slop"HERESY
>>570198953Maybe it's just because I haven't played AAA games in like a decade, but Campaign Evolved looks gorgous to me and exactly what I want out of next gen Halo in terms of lighting and shaders and shit more or less, I just wish the assets and textures were a bit more cohesive to CE's designs
Halo: ZOGslop Evolved>hideous UE5 slop graphics that looks like a random “if x game was made in unreal” video from India>constant “Focus, M” dialogue>needler has an ammo counter (???)>quirky “punched up” marvel dialogue>multiple ex-Bungie devs have commented that they completely missed the point in level design/aestheticsI seriously hope you guys don’t buy
>>570197875>So, what's the verdict? Are we truly back?Reach was the end of Bungie Studios Halo.In the last 15 years we got:>Halo CEA slop>Halo 4>Halo 4 Spartan Ops>Halo Spartan Assault>Halo MCC >Halo 5>Halo Wars 2>Halo Infinite >Halo Campaign Evolved UE5 slop
>>570199138Campaign Evolved looks better than I expected it to, and they've clearly made improvements from last year.The issue I have isn't that it doesn't look good, I agree it is a good looking game.The issue is how it conflicts with what I know to be the Halo art style. On one hand, it's a million times better than CEA. At the same time, there are still noticeable issues, particularly on interior areas.
>>570199171already bought the premium edition
>>570197110Be nice, I just found out and that gameplay was a game-changer for meI'm buying el Game Pass
>>570198530Campaign Evolved would be perfectly fine if:a) Remove Sprint (the skull should have added it, not removed it)b) Make Forerunner structures less shiny (Although they already did turn some of it down)c) Add dual-wielding (Shut up, they already changed a bunch of stuff, dual-wielding isn't gonna hurt and it follows the same principle as sprint which is don't like it don't use it. Halo X in Halo Y is Classic Halo, simple as)
>>570199171I'll get it when they do a 2-pack of Evolved and the next Halo like they did with Reach and CEA, or maybe I'll wait for some Game Pass Trial and experience it for free that way.It never stops being weird seeing the decision made to conceptualize a new design rather than save time by just making the existing design in high fidelity when it comes to remakes.This is doubly strange when Lehto and many fans have proven how close you can get just using your own free time, triply strange when you can save new takes for an entirely new campaign and even call that a new model in-universe.
>>570199647>Add dual-wieldingFuck you, no, CE's focused and tight sandbox is one of it's best attributes, we don't need it to get undermined and unbalanced
>>570199495No, I meant it. I got back to the computer and was about to finish up another video when I saw your post. Even from the trailers, despite the flaws in terms of integrity visible in screenshots, a lot of it at least looks better in-motion.
>>570199775Don't like it, don't use it. (The same excuse you'd use to defend sprint)
>>570199775>*plasma pistol and pistols everything to instantly kill them*Sorry, what was that about the tight sandbox?
Okay, but can Campaign Evolved do this?
>>570199882I'm normally neutral on sprint but I'm against it in the remake if only because I know new players WILL use it and they'll rush through what are supposed to be quiet and contemplative moments in the campaign
>muh dual wield balanceCounterpoint, it's awesome and cool.
>>570200160You win.
>>570199647Can't say I yearn for dual-wielding again but it really is doable going forward. Thinking about the combined force of two weapons firing at once presents the obvious counter-measure to the power one has. Recoil, stability, spread, reload time, etc. so many ways to mix 'n' match trade-offs one must deal with for that power. We'd have it already if they weren't instead putting that effort into various abilities. We can even have both. Super-soldier moving very fast? Alright, accuracy and stability penalties. Let them stack with the dual-wielding trade-offs. It doesn't have to be 100% realistic but taking notes from what shooting is like when running IRL (much less when using two guns) is a much saner approach than plastering armor in thrusters.
Choose one:a) Classic Halob) Classic Halo for modern audiences
>>570200490a
>>570200037Look that ugly? Thankfully not.
>xhe still gives a shit about the dual wield meme2 was a failed experiment. Get over it.
>>570200490Classic Halo. I still maintain that Abilities can exist in variant playlists, Customs and modes like Invasion. They're fun, it's just not fun that they took the place of existing fun. Halo was already making room for all sorts of crazy, different rule sets, sometimes in modes that were just meant to be goofy but creative fun.
>>570200443Halo 3 imo was the most well-rounded. Just needs some rebalancing (dual-wielding as a whole needs buffed damage or accuracy to make it go up against the BR), and they need to figure out a way to let you toss grenades and use scopes while dual wielded (Ultimate firefight has already partially solved this btw, you can scope while dual-wielded). And instead of abilities just have one-time use equipment. The grappleshot can stay, but once you use it, that's it. No stacking or having multiple uses. And then you can buff it too to make it worth fighting over (such as increasing ranging, having it stay in the environment longer for others to use, for example after you shoot it at a wall, it becomes a zipline. Then after a few seconds it disintegrates. Nerf the bubble shield to take damage like in Reach, don't make it completely useless like the drop wall in infinite. Also, Needler needs to stay dual-wieldable even in the 3 Remake. And please buff the spikers so they're not completely useless.
>Halo Combat Evolved Campaign (Classic)Plays exactly like the original CE but with modern graphics and remastered audio. Cannot sprint or dual-wield.>Halo Combat Evolved Campaign (Remixed)New enemies, weapons, abilities, equipment, and vehicles added to this mode. Enemy and ally units have been repositioned/changed, and new gameplay elements have been introduced. Can sprint and dual-wield.
>>570200037SPV3 is shit and you should feel bad for playing it
>>570200596
>>570201427>>570201401>>570200037Why does SPV3 get so much hate?
>>570200963>make it go up against the BRDepends on the next game's BR and what weapon takes the top spot and by how much. Aside from that, I agree there are various concepts that can be improved rather than simply cut. The challenge with game design isn't usually if an action can be translated to game mechanics but what is the best way to actually do so. Bungie wasn't perfect but both them and a lot of players still enjoyed what was delivered because they were constantly adding big new features alongside the gameplay mechanics. Now though Forge, File Share and various other complex matters are basically solved, only needing so many upgrades each new game, so there's room to go back and tackle stuff that could be better.
>>570201540Just look at it anon, it's offensive to look at.
>>570201540Team lead is a fuckhead. That alone invites a lot of hate regardless of the quality of the work.
>>570201427It's a bit washed out at times but that particular webm I've always enjoyed a lot more than the strangely off Forerunner structures. I'm sure it's actually fun to play as well.>>570201540I don't know it through and through nor factor in the drama I've skimmed. Some clips posted here look good, some have very ugly assets. Not cutting 343 or HS any slack for bad choices either.
Have we seen any signs of score attack/campaign mission scoring?Would be ironic if it's not present in the game that has the most skulls and that has the most need for single player replay value
>he doesn't notch his PC for each Covie killedsoulless
>>570200734>>570200859>>570200490 But to further elaborate, leadership at 343 for along while was obsessed with trying to capture a larger audience, forgetting that Bungie Halo already pushed that audience threshold to the max. Sure, Halo is a FPS, but it is still very unique. It’s the Xbox Mario or Zelda, an experience you just couldn’t get out of any other game.343 actively sought to take the Halo out of Halo, making it a watered down generic FPS experience that you can get out of COD, Apex or Overwatch.Halo 1 all the way up to Halo 4 built upon the same aiming model. Same system more or less with slight tweaks or improvements, it’s the signature of that halo feel.Halo 5 ripped this system out and replaced it. While not awful, it was not a step in the right direction.Halo Infinite again changed this system. This time making it AWFUL. It is basically a straight copy of Call of Duty or Apex legends aiming, the aiming works for those games because their gameplay is built around ADS. Halo is not. Play Infinite then play Halo Reach. Walking is different, aiming is different, meleeing the environment gives no unique feedback anymore, vehicles are watered down, sounds are different, the list goes on.
>>570202813This guy gets it
>shotgun is 10 shots with a noticeably lower fire rateWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
I'll admit, SPV3 does look ugly as hell, but the fact that it looks like a completely different game due to all the custom assets is the reason I'd play it over something like Ruby's Rebalance (although I do need to play this). I'm pretty burnt out on vanilla CE, so the more a mod changes stuff even if unnecessary, the better. And then you factor in the genuinely fun, silly chaotic gameplay with all the variety and changes they've added that make you want to try every weapon and vehicle variant. Even the grenades are fun and silly.So I'm a bit disappointed that 343 went out of their way to add sprint, but not dual-wielding. It shouldn't have either, but if you're gonna add one, along with a bunch of new weapons anbd other chnanges, why not just go all the way. It's already not a faithful remake, so you've already ruined the original experience. The weapon balance has already been mucked with with all the added weapons and modified damage/properties (like hunters not dying to one shot pistol anymore), so it honestly doesn't matter anymore.
Why does every gun in Campaign Devolved have tighter spread than your mums anus
>>570188143Same thing happened with Infinite.

>>570202986>RubyQRD on him?
>>570202986>>570201715> Many of the oldest of people on the team got into Halo modding out of disappoint or disgust over H2 and H3. I think we all felt pretty let down by them, especially Halo 2. To date they're still my personal least favorite Halo campaigns to revisit whenever I need to boot them up for something. Why does he hate halo 2 so much?
>>570203510His devlog videos are fun to watch. But the changes he makes can be a bit too subtle if you haven't read the patch notes/changelog.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgh9kKJbeSgI never got to play this because it broke after an MCC update, but I love going back and rewatching this video.
>>570203602>Most of us on the team aren't very fond of Halo 2Sovl.>(or 3 for that matter)SOVLLESS I hate SPV3 now
The models are fine but why are all the Covenant vehicles exactly the same colour and material? Even all the way to Reach they were different colours.
>>570204885When leakers talked about it being a unified art style between the demakes I didn't think they'd mean this
>>570202813This reminds me of how I've long found it strange that they continued to ignore (in my eyes) how being able to flee in these other games is to an extent countered by how much of the arsenal can 1-shot a person or take them down in a few hits, which is not the case for most Halo weapons.Even the way taking someone down is in many ways easier means a lot for how many people are willing to put time into it, because it's much easier to feel you got some kind of win. Just so many things that people paid to think about games all day won't acknowledge. It's really unfortunate.
>>570202907>>570202986You know I was willing to wait and see what the new weapon progression felt like but>pistol no longer one shots Huntersthat's rather odd considering how fun a high powered pistol is - as opposed to being a matter of skill/challengeI'm not so concerned with people feeling the new weapons lowers the challenge because most people add challenge all on their own by not paying attention to details and experimenting with weaponsremoving fun factor like the pistol's power is disappointing to hear about but maybe they think that power has been successfully transferred to this expanded arsenal
>i say something negative about the remake>"shut the fuck up bungie shill">i say something positive about the remake>"shut the fuck up 343i shill"Halo twitter is a funny place.
>>570204885>jeet4jeet still doesn't understand halo>you're still surprised by this
>>570204885It's a bit like someone looked at what Halo Wars did due to being an RTS and followed that in FPS level detail. It's kinda funny.
>>570205694343niggers still seething about bungie 15 years later is still the funniest shit
>>570204885I suspect a lot of oddities are owed to time constraints. Ultimately Evolved may just be an expensive ad campaign to inspire hope in many eyes for Halo Studios. Hope to those who haven't learned enough to be cautious. I may be entirely wrong here but Evolved was less expensive to do than your usual new mainline release ad campaign?

>>570208647Michael Wincott (Truth) didn't reprise his role in H3 just because some folks at Microsoft were dumb enough to use some of his performance in a promo he wasn't notified about (which was a breach of contact, it made him so mad and called the Microsoft folks, “a bunch of amateurs”) At the time, he hadn’t voiced any game characters. He would voice Truth but made Bungie/Microsoft agree to not use his voice in advertising for Halo 2. Microsoft broke this agreement. He and his team were extremely upset about this and felt that Bungie/MS just told them what they wanted to hear and didn’t actually care about any agreements. Thus, he refused to reprise his role for Halo 3 despite many attempts to get him back.

>>570206913
>>570209360I want a properly rebalanced Legendary difficulty.
I'll take a little extra freedom/fun/unpredictability over strict, tightly designed encounters that the developer/modder requires you to play a certain way. You don't need to give the player the entire kitchen sink in one encounter, but I need choice and freedom. If I think I can do something, I want to be able to do it. Don't artificially limit my choices so that I play exactly how you want to. As fun as vanilla CE is, it has the most limited sandbox/mechanics in the game, which makes it a little more monotonous than the other games. 2 also suffers from this due to its artificial difficulty where you can only use a limited set of items to succeed. 3 gives you the most freedom, but it suffers from being too easy.

>>570206660I was ready to continue the story after halo 3. I went in optimistic. I liked Bungie’s armor more but otherwise I was excited. Upon playing it>the levels are unremarkable >I don’t think the Prometheans are fun>I don’t like elite design> where are the brutes>they were trying to hard to make me hate the captain>neuron activation on new Cortana design>cortana and chief’s relationship was weird and different, not awful>cortana’s death was pretty well executed in a fanfic love story kind of way, not I a believable conclusion to their story set up in halo 1-3 where they were just great friends.>tried to like the multiplayer, lose interest after a weekThe whole thing was high budget fanfic.
>>570213903>halo 1-3 where they were just great friends.You forgot about the part where Bungie referred to Cortana as Chief's girlfriend in Halo 3

What were your 360 stats bros?
>>570214261CE kind of goes on for too long2's campaign in generalCortana sections in 3, Needler no longer dual-wieldable, too many invisible wallsWish ODST shipped with pvp/matchmaking, firefight itself is kind of meh, silenced pistol feels like shit; worst weapon in the franchise, Elephant section in the final mission should have not been a real escort mission (should have been impervious to any damage and pretended to be taking it, sucks ass to play on legendary)Reach's art style, nerfed base movement, most sluggish-feeling game in the franchise, feels kind of bland, combat feels very tedious
Definitely not fine.It was glassed, after all. You could even say it was cooked.
no thank you
I think it's really funny seeing people criticize it but having to preface it like>well first the game is gorgeous and there are a lot of talents people working on it BUT...

I thought memory was the key.
Why didn't 343 create a prequel trilogy
Infinite deserved more effort put into it. The feeling of a melancholy mixed with hope really gave the game a unique flavor. Yet underlying all of that was 343i yet again apologizing for their previous game in the worst way possible.
Why are remakes so soulless?

I was actually hoping for more mission layout changes than we seem to be getting.Very concerned about how the AI functions in firefights as well.Thank goodness for gamepass.

It's funny to me especially because the way he says it is the inverse of the entire plot of that Winnie the Pooh movie I watched when I was like 3 where Christopher Robin leaves for School and Owl pronounces it as "Skull" and everyone freaks out and thinks he's gonna die.

Will you be playing Campaign Evolved on PC?
>>570228640we get it, you played it when you were not even in high school
>>570229019>Will you be playing Campaign Evolved on PC?Yes, unless I have friends or my brother over, in which case I'll swap to Xbox.
So I never played any of the post-Halo 4 stuff because I never had an Xbox One.I did play Infinite's campaign via Steam but was confused as fuck about everything.So I just watched all the cutscenes for Halo 5 and Halo Wars 2.What is it with 343 and being so desperate to artificially build up their own OCs? There's so little effort put into it.Locke is just thrown in your face and the game REALLY wants you to know how competent and cool he is.He brags to multiple preestablished characters about saving their lives, and then of course he saves Chief as well.And then Atriox has to be the most forced villain in gaming, at least that I've seen. They went way too hard on the "oh no! no no no no... it's HIM!" They really wanted their "all that for a drop of blood" moment with him beating up 3 spartans. None of it felt earned at all.
I will say, the game looks MUCH more interesting than when they last showed it off.

>>570231541Ok.Word of advice, don't spend your mid/late 20s feeling depressed about getting older. You are in the prime of your life. Have fun.
>>570230049>>570230845>Locke is just thrown in your face and the game REALLY wants you to know how competent and cool he is.>He brags to multiple preestablished characters about saving their lives, and then of course he saves Chief as well.Classic Halo lore was written by Joe Staten and Eric Nylund.The UNSC, Halsey, Captain Keyes, ODSTs, SPARTAN-II, John-117, Blue Team and Keyes Loop, SPARTAN-III, Onyx were all Nylund.Master Chief (in-game), Cortana, Captain Keys (in-game), Johnson, 343 Guilty Spark, Covenant, Arbiter, Elites, Prophets, Alpha Team were Joe Staten.Some say that Bungie retconned Nylund's books, but it's not true, they worked with him, using his ideas, and just wanted to tell their own take on the Fall of Reach.Frank O'Connor wrote an outline for Halo 4-6 and gave it to several different writers. Greg Bear (RIP) wrote Forerunner lore for The Didact and The Librarian, Karen Traviss wrote post-Halo 3 lore that ties into Halo 4/5. Brian Reed wrote Halo 4's Spartan Ops campaign (which is why it feels so different from the campaign) and later wrote Halo 5.Brian Reed wrote Halo 5 and going by Reed's interview before release he was trying to force players to like Locke and Osiris over Chief and Blue Team. People on the Halo Waypoint forums got used to not explicitly call out his name as Brian Reed threads get locked on a regular basis.Reed went on a social media blackout, masking his identity. As of today it’s practically impossible to reach out to the man without some serious digging or a direct contact to 343i. They had Halo 4-6 planned out in terms of story, Brian is said to have deviated far from that and used his own vision and ideas instead. >AtrioxAtriox was made for Halo Wars 2 exclusively. The Banished should have stayed a HALO Wars antagonist, and stayed out of the main story. 343 should’ve stuck with the original concepts for HALO 6, and not scrapped it all in favor of pulling yet another new faction out of their ass
Someone please remaster the_door.webm (the one that gets posted at the end of these threads) with the campaign evolved grpahics
Yeah do it with SPV3.
>>570231683>Greg Bear (RIP) wrote Forerunner lore for The Didact and The Librarian, Karen Traviss wrote post-Halo 3 lore that ties into Halo 4/5The Forerunner trilogy was a total disappointment. The Halo 3 Terminals told a simple, sad, and cryptic yet powerful story about a race of gods destroyed by their own arrogance and refusal to deal properly with a threat they didn't understand. Then Greg Bear decided to bring us Space Kangz and pet care products that are actually gods and all kinds of other bullshit. Traviss is even worse because we should have seen it coming after the way she fucked up Star Wars with her furious Mando wank and lack of a sense of scale. I gave up on Halo a long time ago. Even the unsatisfying plot of Halo 3 seems like nothing now compared to the disaster that came after it. Two entire trilogies were commissioned for the sake of promoting Halo 4 (The Kancer Traviss trilogy, and Greg Bear's Forerunner Trilogy), to say nothing about the Forward Unto Dawn movie.Everything that was released in 2015, from the books, to the comics, and the garbage Nightfall movie were also all created with the intent to tie into Halo 5.
>>570231683It's been too long but didn't this retard complain H5 was others' fault? I have a vague memory of the writer complaining about producers ruining his ideas. Not that I believe him, he's clearly a fucking idiot but I remember him deflecting blame like a coward
anyone down for the annual achievement?
Fastest thread we've had in years. Good job fellas.
>>570231683What is it with OC fanfic creators always forcing their self-insert OC down people's throats and acting like they're the best thing ever? This is not just Halo, but in other fandoms as well. Some random ass joe makes their own ripoff OC and changes some things then goes around bragging to everyone how great the character is and tries make them as OP as possible. Man, you can do whatever you want but can you chill out a bit, you don't need to spam so hard.
>Kill off the Didact in some comic because the story wasn't well received.>Dump the Absolute Record and Janus Key story-line from Spartan Ops in some comic because the story wasn't well received.>Kill off the Covenant remnants in a cut-scene in the first few minutes of Halo 5 because the story wasn't well received.What are the chances that Cortana and the Warden Eternal will either die in the first five minutes of Halo 6 or some comic leading up to it because their story wasn't well received and we get brand new villain out of nowhere? sigh...
>>570231683Its a shame Halo went to shit once they let Karen Traviss write Glasslands (She almost immediately starts in by literally using her own characters as mouthpieces to compare Halsey to Mengele) in 2011. Halo haven't recovered sincehttp://halo.bungie.org/bwu/index.html?item=91>The Master Chief was a complete mystery. In fact, many people (names omitted here, so I'm not assassinated) wanted the Master Chief to remain a blank, faceless solider. Terminator-ish as it were. They weren't convinced any writer could portray him as tough as he is in the game and make him, for lack of a better word, "human," too.>One complaint I hear a lot is that the novels aren't canon and do not mesh with the game. From the very beginning the novels were designed to be optional, but official, material. Bungie didn't want people to have to read the novels to follow the game. That would be silly. The novels are designed to be an official companion pieces, and if you read them you experience a richer back story and understanding of the Halo universe. This strategy, however, necessitated that references to the extra material be minimized in game so as to not confuse people who hadn't read the books.>Bungie DOES consider the books to be canon and part of their universe. In my opinion, everything fits. Bungie did take elements from FALL OF REACH (orbital gun platforms for example) and integrate it into the game so they are aware and appreciate the content in the novels…but given the narrow slice of story they can tell in a video game, they rightly kept the focus on the Master Chief and the events immediately surrounding himHalo 3 was the end of Bungie's story, Shadow of Intent was the end of Staten's story and Ghosts of Onyx was the end of Nylund's story. Everything after 2010 is 343-tier

>>570231683>>570232332 Halo 4 developement 343i started out strong. Armando Troisi who previously worked on both Mass Effect 1 and 2 as lead cinematic designer joined the team in July 2011 as narrative director. Christopher Schlerf who also worked on Mass Effect in the past created the original draft of Halo 4’s script. The narrative team was additionally supplemented by Lindsay Lockhart and Nathan Moller. Brian Reed was listed under ‘franchise development’ at that time.Halo 5 developement 343i’s narrative lead evaporated within one year after H4’s launch. Armando Troisi left 343i in April 2013 to work for Black Tusk, Fathom Interactive and finally Quantic Dreams. Christopher Schlerf left 343i in November 2013 to work on Mass Effect Andromeda and has now found his way to Bungie.In that vacuum Brian Reed became narrative lead. Guillaume Colomb, Patrick Downs, Caleb Doughty and Kristina Drzaic additionally joined the team with both Lindsay Lockhart und Nathan Moller still on board from the old crew. Brian Reed’s first Halo work was the comic book adaption of Nylund’s ‘The Fall of Reach’ titled ‘Halo: Fall of Reach’. He was also responsible for the comic miniseries ‘Halo: Initiation’ and issues 7-10 of ‘Halo: Escalation’.

>>570232808The events of the 343 era will never be mentioned again. Halo Studios era will be the nostalgia bait era. Everything will revolve around Bungie games. Remakes, of course. ODST2 if you're super lucky. You're not that lucky Halo 7 will be about returning to the roots of the series. Arbiter, Master Chief, a funny sergeant. Osiris will either never appear again or they'll die off screen. You will have to fight the new Covenant that has been reborn under a new prophet. Second half of the campaign will see Flood unleashed once more and this time you have to finish off Gravemind for good. They'll double dip with the remake assets. Maybe even reuse old levels. You'll play a new Assault in the Control room and it'll be just like you remember it. 7 will be a Force Awakens / Rise of Skywalker type nostalgia fest.

Legendary Difficulty:>It has to stand on its own>It has to be stand-alone and work as an entry into the franchise>It has to respect the original>It has to reuse assets from previous games (new fans won't notice lol)>No EU lore shoved into your face (Halo 4, Halo 5, Infinite, etc)
>>570234536I wouldn't. CE is fine and doesn't need remade. Let alone by people who have no idea what made the game good to begin with
>>570234536get rid of the retarded backtracking for oneHalf the game is backtracking, just make new levels, if it's just fighting in empty hallways again I won't even pirate itIf you're going to add 6 new enemies and 6 new weapons, why only include them in the 3 first missions? Boggles the mind
Do you think a H4 remake could work? Take the idea and general levels but you rewrite the story to be good and fix the guns
>>570234536Boil down the levels to the bare minimum and start from scratch. IE: Halo is "lifepods crash in the pacific northwest environment" and make an entirely new level, not just do a 95% retread of the same 25 year old level they are doing.
>>570235384>xer thinks we'll be getting a gaylo 4 remakeFirst we need another Shitlo 2 and Halo 3 remake, then Reach, then ANOTHER Halo Ce remake for the next generation
>>570234536Basically pull a Crapcom with RE2/4.I'd mostly respect the pacing if the game but I'd adjust the level layouts to be less repetitive and more varied. I think when it comes to Halo CE specifically, the combat loop is really important. I would put a lot of time and testing into making sure elites especially feel right.Visually I'd focus on making sure important details like enemies "pop" out.
>>570235384Halo 4 should have been the start of a Requiem-based Trilogy imo.

>>570235861With proper weapon balance (as in rebalance mods)Funny enough Ce and ReachI remember playing spv3 a few years ago and they just used base CE ai, the elites were a fucking nightmare, they evade your sight when you try to aim at them, when you fight 2 elites, and you pop the shield of one dude, he goes behind the guy with the full shield until he regens, they surround you and throw nades when you're behind cover

>>570236481Buy an ad.
>>570234536Just make the level design a bit more varied toward the end, that's it.
My game pitch: ODST + XCOM
>>570235861The core 4 covies are best in CE and Brutes are best in 2 but ONLY because they differentiate from Elites so vividly.Without Elites to fight, 3 Brutes are better served for the sandbox.Flood are also best in CE and I'll die on that hill.Prometheans are a strange case because while Knights are improved from 4 to 5, the overuse of soldier spamming and the fact that their weapons almost all auto track ends up making the faction actually overall more annoying in 5 than 4.Not that it matters but the most fun human enemies to fight are actually in 4 at the start of the Shutdown level.

>>570247267ohhhh
vanilla breakout my beloved
>>5702474505babs want literally one thing and it's fucking disgusting.
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.
>>570247827okay, what now?
>>570247904now we wait while Halo's image is slowly but surely restored
>>570247904we find this EXACT spot in CEMake and take the exact same picture
our Halo is being discussed
>>570248343stop being so possessive
>>570248301
Does anyone want to play CEMake together on early release? I'm a loser and i got no friends.
>>570248985I will play with you, but I want to go through it once by myself first
>>570249025Was hoping i could experience it together but i understand.
>>570248985You're not a loser.You are a mighty engine, a carrier of the most holy light.Amen I say to you, the spirit of the Lord lives within the temple that is your body. You are loved and have purpose. Praise be the Lord, Jesus Christ. Now and forever.
>>570249186holy BASED
>>570249186Kneeling right now.
>>570249186
>>570249139You mean for the first time?Post GT. Someone from the regulars might add you to their session.
>>570249576It's Gobiin, i will ask at a later date. There's still a month to go.
Did Xbox actually win with their showcase or not?
>>570250253No.
>>570250210SLEEPY JOE?!
>>570250253Depends on what you care about.
>>570250253Nintendo won, but Xbox's show was better than Sony's and that's all that effectively matters for them since that's the only one they actually compete with.
>>570250391Perhaps.
>>570250253sorry but the new fable looks as if it'll be quite comfyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zItAC-0m_E&t=1686s

no thanks
Is it safe to say the teaser from years ago looked better? I'm not only talking about the graphics, the designs were overall cooler too.
>>570251902no
>>570251902The one where he whips out the sword?No I don't think so.
>>570251902It all looks like the same putrid garbage to me.
>>570251902The one where he says "Nigger" out loud?No I don't think so.
What did he mean by this?
>>570250686So the main character is customizable and this time they went with a white guy? Smart move
>>570253308>What did he mean by this?he was confusing the Halo: Combat Evolved remake with either the Rayman: Legends Remake, the Resident Evil: Code Veronica Remake, the Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Remake, the Assasins Creed IV: Black Flag Remake, the Fable Remake, the Persona 4 Remake, the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake, or the 3rd game in the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy.
>>570254441
>>570254441Thanks for ruining my day
>>570254441Okay, but what about the Brute Force remake?
>>570254792it's time to let go anon
Da Cird is developing feelings
errrrhhhGay sex with Big Red and Ouiey?
>>570255797Not as catchy I'm afraid to say.
Im going to nap do not start the next thread without me...
>>570256743You will have dreams about Krystal from Star Fox in Mjolnir Armor
>>570258650
>>570258650I can't wait for her to be added to the nu-nu-nu Starfox reboot universe just to see all the outrage from people that are mad she's not hot anymore
What do Spartans dream of when they take a little cryo snooze?
>>570236481>series x is only running 1080p/60fpsI'm so glad they switched to jeetware.
How the FUCK did they get away with this?This is straight up softcore porn.
>>570260834It was a different time. Pre-gamergate, vidya women were allowed to be sexy.
>>570260834by making her into the most insufferable whiny bitch imaginable
>>570260834if they had given her a little vulva, even just a small slit, 343 would have amassed so much based social credit with me that it would have allowed them to burn through both 5 and Infinite and they'd still be in the green. Barely, but still.
smut>>570260834not
>>570260737not to be a loretard but in Halo, cryo dreaming is more or less nonexistent since virtually all neurochemical processes completely cease.There cab be short "bursts" of REM activity as you're waking up, but not while you're frozen.
>>570260834Bonnie Ross had her modeled after herself except made hotter
>>570261261Know the lore, but don't identify so.
>>570260834things are just better when female characters look hotIt doesn't have to be their whole personality or whatever, but it's the same reason male characters look worse when they're fat.
>>570204885>>570205123>>570205721>>570205731>>570206016It's a bit of a shame but at least they are consistently iridescent now>>570206660Intially people thought the campaign was okay, but flawed, and the multiplayer was iffy. As time went on opinions became increasingly negative, then within the past few years there's been a turnaround where people say the campaign was actually pretty good>>570209360I want a more experimental remake that fixes a lot of the stuff that was jank due to the game being rushed and the cut missions being restored. H2A was already good so we don't need another faithful remake
>>570232187Shit taste, the forerunner trilogy is kinothe problem is that nobody else had the writing chops to handle the concepts it introduced so every other piece of Halo media that uses it's ideas ends up botching it and said ideas sound dumb outside of the context of Greg's writing
>>570262895kys
>>570262895you are cheefag
>>570263812not an argument
>cheefagWhat did he mean by this? Who or what is "chee"?
Who the fuck is cheefag?
>>570264732>>570264761I guess some kind of explanation is in order. That is the Endless, a new ancient evil revealed near the end of the first Halo Infinite single player campaign titled "Become". The Endless is a species of alien imprisoned on the Zeta Halo ring (Installation 07) by the Forerunners. On the ring is a location known as "The Silent Auditorium" in which The Forerunners would pass judgement on The Endless before their imprisonment. The Endless as we know it is similar in appearance to those of the Cambrian Explosion approximately 541 million years ago on our own planet Earth. Pure speculation at this point, but this may be a new hint connecting Humans and Forerunners in the Halo series. Anyway, the only remaining member of The Endless that we know about is The Harbinger, who joins a faction of former Covenant known as The Banished, lead of course by the Brute War Master known as Atriox. She does so with the secret plan to use The Banished and their hold on the Zeta Halo ring to free her people from their ancient imprisonment and unleash them upon the unknowing Galaxy. If you want to learn more about The Endless and what happens next in their story, you can find out soon when Halo: The Endless releases on Xbox One, Xbox Series consoles, Steam, and Windows platforms as well as releasing day one on Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass PC. If you wanna talk about this more you can add me at GT: YeezeID, I'll send you an invite to my private discord server where we can continue this discussion. Y'know, just us. Haha if that's alright of course...
>>570264835Thank you. I needed this.
Did the poster above really read all of that in less than 28 seconds? I think not!
No, I'm not thanking him for posting a stale pasta.
>gayviator out of literally absolutely nowhere
I am SICK and TIRED of all this cofounded halo discussion. PULL YOURSELVES TOGETHER GOD DAMNIT
ENOUGH
https://x.com/Extremebreaker1/status/2065106786223296628The 60-round AR skull really does give it no bloom.
Never forget what 343i did to the Scorpion in Halo 5.
>>570266208he cute
>>570266208He's so fucking fat.
>>570268356Look at how agile and aggressive it isThis is why Halo 2 and 3 foot combat is less fun to play on average than CE
>>570269045interesting opinionI suppose someone who grew up with an origjnal Xbox would have strong nostalgia for the original Halo, dated as it is
God Minto uploaded thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JtLynGKoFk
>>570262895Almost. Greg managed to write some ridiculous ideas (especially for Halo) in a compelling way, much like a good director or cinematographer can make something ordinary look extraordinary. Really, both the Forerunners and Flood are more significant if, even while being noble and upright, the Forerunners truly had to use Halo to cleanse the galaxy. No politics and drama making them as petty as us but with way more advanced tech, no butchering other species because somehow no one could spread compelling proof of the Flood taking over various worlds (over 1000 years of this).You could take a lot of Greg's ideas and remix them into an original virus horror IP and you'd have something great. He was very good at making that snowball of drama and desperation compelling. It would work even better in a setting where there wasn't highly advanced space tech that you just had to believe never spread solid proof of the threat to the masses.
>>570226693Pretty cool as a still
>>570219863It'll be interesting to see if the game gets and content or visual updates leading up to an all-new multiplayer/campaignPart of me think it highly unlikely but even things like making the vehicles have their more distinct colors again could be a promo tactic of sortsWe all saw 4 follow-up CEA so yeah no matter what improvements Evolved gets it's no guarantee of a brand new game's look
