i hated that in halo ce if you play on legendary you can't use the human weapons. you have to use weapons like the hammer, the chainsaw, the shotgun and the rocket launcher, all of which are limited. in halo ce you can actually do any weapon you want, except for human weapons. the human weapons were basically limited by the game, but the weapons are now available in both factions (they are the most powerful and most powerful of all). if you play on legendary mode and have weapons that have special abilities like the chainsaw, it allows you to get kills faster than you normally would.
I'm loving this disaster of a game.
>>575059104>>575059732Nice to know the look can be improved. I like how that screenshot looks. Although it feels more like a new campaign than CE thanks to the design differences.
The Endless has been colored in
>>575054823it's okay you fuggin dork dw lol. yeah but likely friday next week, why? wanna coop?
>>575080945Have modders fixed the forced diversity issue and restored the old voice actors yet? Literally my only hope.
>>575085343No lol. I didn't buy the remake because I have self respect.
>>575081952There's a lot to enjoy, it's just also stuff a lot of people wouldn't greenlight for a remake. A lot of the new cutscene stuff is cool but also could've been saved for a brand new game.>Keyes walking away only to turn back after Chief walks off to say good luckReally odd change from him directly saying it to Chief. He's not using a radio/comm-link. Could've just had a commanding officer in a new game do that.
>>575085572>>>/pol/
Why does Keys sound like an anime character?
>>575085767It's bollywood film direction, a lot of their films are like that where they go over the top trying to make every scene epic. Very chuuni of them.

>>575081163>i hated that in halo ce if you play on legendary you can't use the human weaponswe must not be playing the same game
>>575085767The cutscenes were AI-generated, and you can't convince me otherwise
>>575086542seems worse to me: it's like they had AI make suggestions based on all the unused storyboards and chose from among those with their own sensibilitieswas never one to use the whole 3 steps forward 43 steps back joke but it really feels like that when CEA stuck closer to the original pacing
GOOD MORNING MINTO
>>575087043CEA was running a slightly earlier version than the final game, it just threw a new graphical layer over the game.
It looks much better than the CEA visualsThis is an easy test to determine if someone is just dooming or can at least be objective about things
>>575087356
Is anyone else getting this weird issue where sign in for Campaign Evolved doesn't persist between sessions and you have to scan the stupid QR code every time you close and reopen the game
Is that Silver 25th Anniversary skin already unlocked?
>>575087895Looks better than CEA, but worse than the original. Plays worse, too.
Nu-Library doesn't feel like the Library at all really.Feels like I am playing aa fucking Oracle rework from H2 more than anything in both appearance and gameplay.
Bleach is the root of all.
>>575088380wob wob wob
>all these simps that paid for premiumEnjoy your needler skin I guess
Someone thought this HUD element looked good enough to ship.
>>575088632i will
>>575087895I am half convinced that people who are saying it's worse than CEA are just coping they can't run it.
>>575088883Custom Edition HUDs were better than this kek
>>575089041I know for a fact you're being paid to say this
Rise and shine nigga
>>575088883I've seen one claim that people wanted more time to work on it and higher-ups went "good enough". No clue whether it's true. I wouldn't be surprised given some past reports on the conduct of executives and leadership. Did they just want to make a mark before GTA6 comes out?
>>575089041I can run the new Doom, and that has the same system requirements as this.I'm not supporting any CE remake that nerfs the pistol, simple ass.
A10/PoA looks like a Doom '16 map kek
>>575089413It's all poor quality bait considering the first mention of CEA is in reference to the cutscenes. It is incredibly odd that one of the things they did right back in 2011 they threw away in 2026.
Yeah okay we are NOT doing CEA revisionism.>actually the cea cutscenes were fineNo the fuck they weren't. The only "good" thing about it is they kept the OG dialogue recordings. The new animations, reused 3/Reach mashup of models and soundtrack were all terrible.
>>575089697>nerfs the pistolSo when the pistol didn't 3-shot an Elite in the launch trailer that really wasn't just a glitch or the player missing?
le muh heckin frutiger aero blue y2k olderbrothercore metalheart
>>575086528perhaps you missed the part of the pasta where they mention using a chainsaw
I just got back from work. Haven't seen anything yet. Give it to me straight /hg/. What are we dealing with?
>>575090759A good game that is being shit on by poorfags who can't afford the hardware to play it.
Is it using the Reach AI or not?
>>575090759AI generated UE5 minimum viable slop from outsourcing to indian dev studios.
>>575091024(you)
Make Humans Forerunner Again!
>>575090759its literally worse in pretty much every way. also modders have already done cool shit like giving us the new armor in the old campaign and Johnsons rifle is usable.343i just absolutely fucking up again
>>575090074Good times. I think that's the map where I randomly realized using the break mid-air could let me land the Warthog and Ghost at odd angles that'd normally lead to flipping. Really changed how CTF worked for me.
Frank O'Connor irreparably destroyed Halos story with his insistence on making Forerunners a separate race in the halo 3 terminals.The entire trilogy hints, or directly says to chiefs face, that Humans are forerunners. The books preceding the Halo 3 terminals imply Humans are forerunner. Even story boards and cut sections of Halo 2 have the covenant (Arbiter?) finding a Human skeleton on the Ark.Microsoft, or perhaps the egos at 343 studios, would NEVER retcon and go back to the original intended story. I have no faith Halo will ever be back unless they get the basic elements of the story right first
>>575090759It comes back to the same question: why do all this work and not be as faithful as possible?Throughout the years, fans have remade almost every design in high fidelity in their free, unpaid time. For how beautiful the game can look (especially with certain effects turned off) it could've easily been better if integrity was a greater focus. Jenkins cutscene is almost 1:1, it's good they mostly kept their heads on straight for that. Extra snippets of space battles are cool but basically every new idea is wasted effort that interrupts the intended feeling and could've just been used in a new story where it wouldn't conflict with anything.At the end of the day though even mishandled Halo is a stronger vision than a lot of other games out there and it will enlighten some to Halo's charm.
>>575093694>Jenkins cutscene is almost 1:1I was genuinely shocked at how good that was. I'd be singing this things praises if all the cutscenes were of that caliber.
>>575093923With the stories that have come out of 343 (even on official streams) of an employee having to convince people to try and prioritize Halo while making a Halo game, I wonder if the Jenkins scene is the result of someone managing to do so again.
Apologize.

Why is 343 so silly?They are like Grunts.Grunts are silly.Grunts are silly willy.343 is silly.343 is silly willy.
cortanas new lines are terribly delivered
>>575095760all the new lines are
>>575095760its like they had no coherent direction for any of the new VAs. Cortana is rough because they are clearly trying to retcon and rewrite her as the weapon and having infinites weapon just be lobotomized Cortana i miss tough GitS cortana
>>575093923It's alright but they did increase some eh things, like why are all the bodies still on the floor when Chief gets into the room?It was already silly that the Flood left Mendoza at the door to jumpscare whoever opened it in the original but now they left everyone except Keyes.
>>575089614>I've seen one claim that people wanted more time to work on it and higher-ups went "good enough". No clue whether it's true.You have to remember that 343i did not make this game.It's a contracted out job.
>>575090759It's way too early. Most people here have not played it.If you have hame pads, decide for yourself in a few days.
>>575096393Has 343 ever made a game in-house? They always outsource and hire contractors.
>>575088259>he actually boughted the gameLMAO
i miss old /hg/
>>575096845I miss halo

>>575097443Lurk moar
Its fucking amazing how despite over 10 years of graphical improvements, cutscenes in Campaign evolved are significantly worse in every other department when compared to H2A, Halo4+5 and even infinite. >wooden voice acting>jeet tier cinematography with camera constantly panning or placed awkwardly>life less expressions>SFM/koitkatsu porn tier animation
>70% positive on steamOH NO NO NO NO
How many humans were killed when chief blew up the fist halo
I don't like the new Bisenti.
>>575098342That's reasonable. It's decent at a glance. Most people aren't aware of the context that explains why Halo can and should be made with higher standards... especially after 15 years of degrading its reputation...
They gotta stop mocaping Covenant aliens man. Fucking Blur couldn't manage it, let alone whoever is doing these ones.
It was a bit odd to hear 'The Lost Muse' play at the end of Keyes but it was also kind of worked: the miraculous escape amidst all else going wrong. The animation for the Elites was really weird.
>343 and "Halo Studios" both start off by butchering Halo CE This has to be the most bizarre thing that's happened twice
>they made this nigga just go AWOL on the beachhonestly, kind of based
>>575100026It's both worry and amusing to think their next game will be as dramatic a shift as 4 was.
>>575100249NOOOOOOO IT NEEDS TO BE EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL
Who thought deep frying the fuck out of the screen with chromatic aberration when you are in or around gravity lifts was a good idea?
Ok is officially legal for... you know... for PIRATES.
The 343 guilty spark level was very nicely done. Seems like the second half of the game is where the remake shines
>>575102026I dig the flood gooped up Truth and Reconciliation and the Pillar of Autumn being full of sand.And broken in half.
>>575100609That was a good change that even referenced the ol' joke ending. Acceptable in light of the context that a sequel actually happens where he survives.Although coming from them I'm surprised they resisted the urge to make some new web story or sell a short story anthology, that includes how Johnson and the Elite actually survived the blast and he or even both of them made it out.
>>575102343in 2 doesn't the chief take a jab at johnson about how he got back and he retorts with "that's classified information!"
>>575101221??
>>575102519No, the other guy does that.
>halo 4 is non-canon to the ce remakeI might have been too harsh...
>>575102026>positive player feedback but deemed too traditional>had to convince people to make Forerunner structures look more like Forerunner structures>alright boss here's why you should allow people to spend time making Marines more capable>we shouldn't treat Halo's cosmetic scene like Fortenite's (overruled)For the employees who do care it seems like it's constantly an uphill battle where things only go right some of the time
>>575102707How?
>>575096503>Halo: Combat Evolved AnniversaryPretty much entirely outsourced to Saber Interactive which at the time was mostly based in Europe/Russia (they've since moved to Florida)The Terminals were made by Sequence in Canada.>Halo 4Campaign and Spartan Ops were made in-house by actual dev team members for the most part.Multi-player Maps were almost entirely outsourced to Certain Affinity in Russia. Humerously, these maps were mostly made with a more traditional Halo Multiplayer style in mind before 343i changed it to be more like CoD's Killstreak system later into development.Terminals were again done by Sequence in Canada.>Halo MCCNot going to go too into detail because I could do a whole post on this one but basically the entire game was outsourced to like 7 different studios around the world. They did bring in musicians to do the new H2A fully orchestrated soundtrack, and they were in charge of managing the servers, but that's really about it.>Spartan Assault and StrikePretty much completely outsourced to Vanguard Games.>Halo 5: GuardiansThis was largely made in-house HOWEVER the development strategy had since shifted since Halo 4. The older campaign team was mostly gone, and the Spartan Ops Team was upgraded to Primary campaign design. Multi-player was also made in-house but a lot of the employees were temporary contractors that were brought in and then released after launch. This is also the most closely they have ever worked with Esports players for designing and tweaking.>Halo Wars 2Pretty much entirely outsourced to Creative Assembly, though 343i co-wrote the story and lore.>Halo InfiniteSimilar to Halo 5 but now with a vast majority of the working staff being temporary contractors.Almost all post-launch multi-player Maps were made by community members.>Halo: Campaign EvolvedContracted out to some studio, presumably in India, that has experience with Unreal Engine 5 molding. We actually still don't know really who made it.
>>575103439He's Carrying Forms of Firearms
>>575103531lol
>>575102575It's cracked, motherfucker
>>575102026The general sentiment is shaping up to be that the second half of the game is better than the first and that they nailed level 6 pretty damn well specifically. Also, the new missions are better than people expected.It's still kind if a slop experience throughout though.Getting a lot of Force Awakens vibes where the glass half full take is to say they have shown they can work with Unreal well enough but need to actually make a game from the ground up with it now since a good amount of the issues come from porting in animations, assets, and scripts from other games.
>>575103853If Asha is going to contract out everything to save money, then Unreal is the smart move going forward because everybody in the developing world has experience with it
>>575103331Certain Affinity isn't in Russia. They also did a lot of the new enhancements with Megalo, as they did for the Reach TU.
>>575103531fuck you
>>575104152>Certain Affinity isn't in Russia.I meant to say Texas yeah
The music mixing is so bafflingly terrible it's hilarious at times, like the first pulse generator on Two Betrayals
>plasma pistol overcharge can one-shot you on legendaryFucking phenomenal.
>>575103853I think the main issue is the Covenant AI, there's no personality to it. All elites feel the same no matter what rank they are. Should have kept CE's AI for them imo
Is this the first Halo where the game doesn't give you full shields upon restarting a checkpoint?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1WR2gw6GlwBack to that first time renting a console, later buying it and it all leading to my favorite series: HALO.
What's the point of making graphics that nuke the framerate if you make the game blurry as shit anyway?
>>575105203I've wondered this about all new games. Ami just retarded and missing a setting? Even natively everything looks smeary and blurry. It's not just unreal the new black fag remake suffers from the same issue despite being on their proprietary engine
>>575105203

>they should have inserted [game X] AI into the game!That's not how it works.Reach and 3 enemy AI work with it because they're highly compatible with the reach fork the game is based on. That doesn't mean they can just copy paste CE AI in. As it is, the AI still have problems.
>>575106778nahwe will just play MCC
>>575106905They can modify many of the behaviors so they act more like Halo 1.
>>575107371we dont have the technology anymore

Why does the overcharge plasma pistol one tap you even on heroic?
>>575106905This is exactly what proves a Halo 3 remake is outright impossible, 343 don't have the brains to make scarabs work again.
>>575108343The jeets fucked up and gave it "plasma slow" damage instead of "emp" damage. EMP damage is not meant to do any health damage, while plasma slow does 50% health damage.
>>575105203Its a stylist choice. Chief has bad eyesight and lost his glasses.
Since nobody can agree on what this game actually plays like, is it safe to assume they made something entirely new? YouTubers initially said it played like Halo Reach, but now that a small portion of the public has gotten their hands on it, some are saying it plays like Halo 5, while others insist it feels more like Halo Infinite.
>>575109861Some of the enemy and weapon behaviors are lifted straight from Reach.

>>575112304>>575112365they got the color palette right for the most part, yesOther aspects of the art design are still "off" though

>>575112867It's the chromic aberrationWe have never had a game this full of it in the series. It's a technique used to hide imperfections. Film grain and other particle effects like rain have been used in the past.see >>575110860

It makes him feel like Atriox.
Is there any other game dev that can keep this level of incompetence into blind hopium into extreme copium into incompetence and repeat like 343? I'd say Blizzard but they're a pale imitation of their former scummy selves. The also at one point made good games. 343 has never delivered a good game, never delivered a functioning game, and never shown any signs of change. And STILL people believe this is the one. Is it a uniqueness of Halo players?
>>575126605I remember tuning into a rare stream when Infinite was announced. Had a good impression of the person until then. Mentioned they had more issues with 5 than they let on and they felt fine saying that now that Infinite (which the person helped playtest) was on the horizon. So aside from the clear charm and potential to Halo and most people not knowing how corrupt leadership has been, making it easy for them to hope that untapped potential will finally be leveraged, you've also got influences adding to false impressions for the sake of perks.

>>575088553Not Halo
/twg/ doesn't talk about CA's other games and there's no RTS general, sorry to intrude: Is Halo Wars 2 any good? I liked 1 for what it was, though I admittably had a bias for Ensemble and the setting was classic Humans v. Covenant. It seems kind of lame to not just have that in 2 when it's clearly what people love about the setting and not this grey and red versus green and gray
>>575126605the original games made such a big impression on some people when they were kids and they never grow up and realize reach was the last one that wasnt shit. game died with bungie.

>>575119864Longsword shouldve kept its larger size and interior section. fits its lore role much better that way, instead of yet another 1 or 2 seater basic fighter
>fits its lore role much better
>>575135767AAAAAAAHHHH!
>>575135843Real Monsters?
>>575135767oh my hecking reach
>>575090759It's essentially reach skinwalking as CE, do with that information what you willt. played through whole game on heroic, did first two levels on legendary ezpz, game crashed during t&r legendary and I stopped there bc I was getting pretty annoyed
>>575135918
Holy Sh*t
>>575136213Could be digitally edited, but that's a solid hairline. He won't go bald before he is a senior citizen.
>>575136010me and who
>>575136213First time watching and he's honestly pretty even-handed with his opinions. I thought he'd go full basedmode but he pretty much shits on the game
>>575131107I more or less agree with the score of 7/10. It's a nice enough intro to Halo and CE that's better than CEA, but newcomers in particular didn't get the best version possible with 2020s technology.
>>575137365Model swap, or an unreleased skin?
I want to marry Cortana
>>575132530They went so far but settled for trying to distract with new and shiny, instead of focusing on immersing through fine details. Unfortunate.
>>575137510Hidden skins are AR stuff and mostly Chief things right now in some dude's unlocker mod, and context of where I got the shot implied a model swap. It's UE5, people already messing with things like models, making the Stanchion usable (albeit with sniper animations), apparently recreating H3 movement variables, etc.
This is the end we start from
>>575138201ODST is such a cool helmet.
how much of story have they changed? did they push the whole forerunner are aliens and humans are a separate species. What about the maps? did they rework it so that sprint makes sense?. Also I must say the cutscenes look so ass and uncoordinated, combat evolved cutscene unironically look way more smoother and cinematic.
It's finally over, isn't it?
Is the shotgun still the best weapon in the game?
stinky things happening in da cord
>>575138430>ODST is such a cool helmet.
>>575104974>5 hours of quiet suburban ambience>constant wind in your ears and non stop cricket sound

>>575137514don't give them any funny ideas...
Quiet, Yeeze.
Did we find the Halo?Did we win the war?
Gundam is not Halo.>b-but my shitty 343i cartoo-Not. Halo.
my cock is halo. eat it up piggy oink oink

>>575135767>>575142067>67 in both replies>67 all over the screencapI don't like this.
Is the female ODST in the bonus mission actually that bad or are people larping as fans and being chuds because its a woman.
>>575138201So is this BLAM with UE5 ontop or is this UE5, I know theyre using the new UE5 lighting engine. I dont think Halo would be hard to replicate, but i am sentimental for BLAM.
>>575138573Needle rifle is the reigning king. Sentinel beam and fuel rod gun along with the shotgun are in the top 5
>>575142321See for yourself and form your own opinion, stop being retarded
>>575142321Idk but she dies anyway so it doesn't matter
>>575142231
>>575142585Cannot afford it because im buying the Avatar fighting game rn, also halo ce for the 4th time. Id go back to LASO CE since im hard stuck on library. I will probably watch a playthrough when I can, wanted a general consensus from people here aswell.
>>575142801>buying the Avatar fighting gamePost hands.
>Heads up, MC. The Elites are using some kind of stealth armor. I'll mark them on your tactical interface.

How does a company manage to fuck up remastering a beloved game twice???
>>575144083CEA was done by Saber though
>>575144083Halo Studios has only made one Halo remake though?
>>575124392enkinofication laser
>>575142481BLAM with UE5 on top, but they've got loose tags from the Reach Tag Test style. So you can apparently just pack tag edits in the UE .pak files and slap them in a mods folder. I dunno about further game editing or mapping stuff, but on paper if you have a matching UE5 build you can probably dick around with a lot of stuff.
The final battle between Atriox and Yhwach takes a dark and decisive turn. As the two adversaries face each other on the destroyed battlefield of Zeta Halo, the air is saturated with the weight of desolation and defeat. Atriox, with his shattered arm at his feet, is on his knees, his gaze lost in the dust raised by his own desperate attacks. Yhwach, the Quincy King, remains imposing, the manifestation of his sovereign power encircling him like a halo of vibrant darkness. "This is the end, Atriox," Yhwach proclaims, his voice as piercing as the force that now renders him invincible, the Quincy King advances, the intent to finish the battle emanating from every step, with a single movement, he hits Atriox with a wave of energy so powerful that reality itself seems to tremble. Atriox falls, his energy dwindling like a flame in the storm, Yhwach looks down at the fallen war chief, a glimpse of respect passing through his eyes. "You fought bravely, but the new era is mine to shape," he declares. With Atriox defeated, Yhwach extends his hand, absorbing the remnants of the galaxy, unifying them under his dark dominion. The Banished, now without their war chief, retreat into the shadows of history, whispering prayers for a tomorrow they know will never come, the Quincy King reigns supreme, a new order established under the impassive gaze of the ark outside of the galaxy, the balance of existence is irreparably altered, and hope is just a forgotten word in the era of Yhwach, the true monarch of the universe.Yhwach stands unchallenged, his dominion absolute. Across the fallen universes, his will resonates, extinguishing the last embers of resistance. The era of Yhwach ushers in silence, broken only by the hollow winds that carry the echoes of his omnipotence. His reign is now eternal, a timeless empire forged in the shadows of his power.

>>575151586Wait is this real or AI? Theres no way this can be from the game are you serious??
>>575151586Why did they make the cutscenes so damn slow? it looks much more natural if you play it at 1.75 speed
>>575151586>The editing at 00:01-00:05 makes it look like the Hunter's shot at the Spirit somehow changes trajectory and flies at Chief.>Stormtrooper aim.>Chief has no cover. But instead of shooting at the same time, the Hunters decide to sprint at him for no reasons.>While sprinting at him, they also charge their cannons. So are they trying to melee him or are they trying to shoot him?
>>575151586More or less an enhanced version of the original, though, I would not have minded the OG being mimicked 1:1 other than the visuals. Admittedly a bit silly looking in places for a 2026 release. What I did like entirely was Chief keeping his cool while barely dodging the incoming fire.
>>575103041In 4 Cortana talks about redoing the "walk into the beam because I've modified your shield behaviour to EMP burst" trick.You don't do that in the remake. You just blow up 3 random nodes then the generator goes offline.
Watching a couple of streamers playing Campaign Evolved just after playing CE. It's crazy how even people who I believe are somewhat smart become reliant on the waypoint marker as soon as a game has one.
>>575155518343i ruined my life
>>575153956>While sprinting at him, they also charge their cannons. So are they trying to melee him or are they trying to shoot him?Maybe a fuel rod-infused melee attack. Maybe it does extra damage and applies radioactive damage over time. Could be a good finisher.

>>575162036Look, you can say many things about Halo 5, but I won't let you say it had soul.It was like the pinnacle of ~2015 era trendchasing slop with no detail or heart.
>>575161690
>>575162036I really liked that Port Authority map and it was made with soul in mind despite the visual shortcomings of Forge. Would like to see it or a map with its themes given the official dev treatment someday.But it being so long since I last saw 5 gameplay, it feels even weirder to design Halo around a bunch of little thrusters. All these shenanigans instead of just letting Spartans speed up in any direction, but with meaningful accuracy penalties while doing so.

>>575166194it's pirateable
>>575166194It's not real, she's in the prequel missions. She's not a good character or anything but she's just a bit prickly with Spartans in a few lines of dialogue, and there is a cringey "look at how badass we are posing on corpses" cutscene.That's it. She barely qualifies as a character.

I read it all and his opinion is dogshit.Also, Spartans aren't that powerful.>but the booksNot canon.
good halo 2nite
>>575174409What a lame game man.
>>575174054I enjoy my Bungie-era lore but it's just not the gameplay Halo was built on and while I think you could easily amp it up, there's been too much focus on spazzy mcspazz abilities and mobility over upping the intensity of combat. Still might be pulled off well someday, but at this time it seems unlikely. I don't even know how powerful Mjolnir was considered when CE was being made, or if Chief was truly considered to have super-human biology rather than having a life extremely focused on war. Perhaps someone else can shine some light on what a Spartan was to the people creating the original game.
>>575174054I guess I agree? The whole point of Spartans is that they're rule of cool physics-breaking beheamoths
>>575080945>Shadman

What's better? SPV3 or Campaign Evolved?
>exploring the swamp>hear an eerie ass noise>it's just a skullOh.
>>575174914They found their stride without having to give players access to the full power and lethality of the settingSurely many would enjoy that (or even half that) as options via Skulls or better yet a spin-offGuess it's a lot of work to facilitate as you'd have to upgrade enemy behavior substantially so they don't get steamrolled lol
>>575175450Campaign Evolved, but that doesn't make it good.
>>575173295They don't get how to play it, and then find it boring. You need to understand to be decent enough so that the combat flows well while maintaining difficultly
>>575175490Who put it there?
>>575175450SPV3At least it doesn't pretend to be faithful to the original. It just unashamedly does its own thing without regard for the consequences, and it can be safely ignored. 343 is canonically rewriting the franchise with Campaign Evolved, and aren't doing a very good job at it. Expect more Halo games similar to this, moving forward.
Does the 60 round mag AR skull disable achievements? I'm not slugging through a level on legendary with a lore-accurate AR only to be told by the game that it doesn't count
What's the point of ray tracing if your visor looks more matte than a 2001 cubemap?
>>575176101But they are not rewriting anything aside from SMGs being present in Installation 04 and the pure forms. Did I miss something?
>>575176387there is no point, that shit's just on by default in the engine
Maybe the real Endless is the degredation of Halo!
thats's the point

Falling into the coolant and going back up into the ship on Keyes being seamless gameplay segments instead of incredibly basic cutscenes to hide a BSP transition was cool.What was not cool was removing the gravity lift cutscene in Truth and Reconciliation. It had a bit more going on than just hiding a BSP transition.
I think my biggest pet peeve is when "people" on social media go "ugh, I hate X-fans" or "X-fans can't enjoying anything" and so on, when it's easily implied they're fans of X series. It's just virtue signalling. Unless they want to admit they're not actually X fans and just want to shit on those who are passionate towards the franchise. In this case, Halo.
>>575190971They just want to shame people who won't accept garbage and gaslight them into thinking they aren't fans.

Okay I will admit I was wrong for saying this game reusing Infinite model assets.The only thing the two games share is both of the assets came from the same hipoly source model.They can still get fucked for the blatant animation reuse though.

>>575215390i think cortana would have been well served with being a sassy black womyn from the get-go>SHIIIIET CHIEF
>>575215507Foehammers VA as Cortana blacking it up actually sounds funny though
>>575215618foehammer actually came to mind, she'd have been a fucking hilarious companionand cortana's actor probably would have served as an excellent pelican pilot

oh my god did they ever ruin thishow the fuck do you not wind up drinking a lethal amount of drain cleaner being made to make or work on a fucking demake'these fucking people cannot create fucking anything

>>575221523i wouldn't play this shit even with a gun to my headnot into humiliation rituals
In your own words, what is it exactly about the remake that makes it feel Indian-coded? I don't even disagree with this characterization, but I am trying to put my finger on what exactly gives me that impression.
>Halo doom mod now has a female chief option>They couldn't find one female in a world of 4 billion women to do the voice, they got a trannyjfc hahahaha

>>575224382Everything looks and sounds like a mid 2010s fan project slapped in unreal. The voice acting sounds outright AI generated at times with how awkward some of the cadence is. Made the comparison yesterday but the new animations literally look worse than months shit he did 15 years ago
>>575224382It's an asset flip of Halo Infinite with UE5 slapped over it, which makes it even more jarring when there's bugs and broken animations that were never there before. When the AI breaks and turns its back to you while doing nothing, it feels like a Ubisoft product
>>575224382doesn't exactly answer your question but the whole game feels designed to look good in screenshots and yet it feels like shit in motion. just way too over-detailed and with too many post-process effects. cutscenes also don't feel like they were made by a human, there's a deep uncanny valley feeling to them that's hard to place but obviously lots of human beings are picking up on it
>>575180712>>575180712>>575180712bumping
>>575177347As games went on various devs experimented with giving greater access to their power via gameplay, often being cool or useful. Taking it further in a sane way is doable for sure. Would any industry dev other than Max or Jaime actually do it in a sane way? That I don't know. For all I know the game Max's company was tasked with would've done this, but the shotcalling of Pierre and other leaders is a hurdle of its own, especially if those 'leaks' about flip-flopping and cancellations is true.
>>575181604Is that from the remake?
>>575192824Has some charm to it but it's a bit of a missed opportunity to do a Warthog-themed skin be it simplistic or more complex like some other skins especially when the set is more expensive than the game>armor and visor darker than the undersuitI didn't mind how much lighter the undersuit was on the new default Chief model but now I question why it's not as dark as the original in 2001
>>575207615seeing Bungie there made me think back to the female protag from O.N.I. so even if they didn't want to do a stylized curvy design a Konoko-like would've been a fine alternativehuge encompassing armor like the right without a cool faceplate or visor is also incredibly lame
>>575221523>>575221954I was way more hype for Halo infinite. That was the last chance I gave 343. I didn't trust them after 4, but after what happened with Infinite I won't even bother giving them the time of day. I am not putting that garbage on my hard drive.
>>575206534of course, people play halo for multiplayer since its inception
so what's the cope gonna be from the>game development is hard and management is evilcrowd this time? will they be able to admit regardless of management at 343, the people working there are talentless hacks who have not made a single good game since owning this fucking franchisebungie also had nightmare management yet still produced the games they did
>>575231307"It's our first time working with Unreal Engine so we are still working out all the kinks"
I have questions regarding the bonus missions- Why would ONI rely on a Halberd destroyer to eliminate the Covenant ship? The UNSC know their ships ain't shit to covie ones?- Knowing this, why would they only send one destroyer? Especially given they may not have known for certain the combat capabilities of the covie ship (even if it was a research one).- Why didn't they give chief a small SHIVA bomb which seems to be the standard for destroying covenant installations and ships?- If the ship was one of the much weaker ones, why did the Prophet loiter about when the UNSC ship was moving in? Shouldn't they have legged it immediately?- Whats the point in the UNSC finding the Covenant 'home world'? The UNSC at that point in the war are barely capable of fighting a defensive, entreched war against the Covenant Navy without heavy losses of outright defeat. You telling me they would have somehow pulled off a First Strike against the most holy and heavily guarded aspect of Covenant space?
>>575224382>they used lolreach as a base >cutscenes stutter like crazy and the animation is pretty bad>the voice acting is HORRIBLE>game was clearly not playtested on solo legendary, and balanced under the assumption that everyone will just play their heckin 4 player coop>the backpacks of dead grunts like to randomly explode and immediately trigger chain reactions which will just kill you>weapon/enemy values are way the fuck off from where they should be, overcharge plasma pistol doesn't even disable a jackal's gauntlet, stealth elites have stronger shields than majorsjust off the top of my headthe last one pisses me off the most, that's actual have-you-ever-even-played-halo-before territory
>>575231307what cope? the game generally has positive reception. this little corner of the internet doesn't like it because it's inherently contrarian and hates everything that's come out since they became adults.
>>575224382Indians are just the new whipping boy for incels. They completely ignore all the executives (who are often white) in charge of these companies that are telling their underlings to hire these developers. It really highlights how many of them have 0 understanding of the corporate hierarchy and never worked a day in their livesAnd before some incel rushes to reply to me with a picture of Asha Sharma, remind me who was her predecessor that you also seethed over
>>575233916WAAAAAAAAAAH
>>575232672>why did the Prophet loiter about when the UNSC ship was moving inSo the Prophet could talk to chief and go >HEY GUYS LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO EACH RACE IN THE MOST AKWARD MONOLOGUE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN A VIDEO GAME
>>575213371Dan used a lot of footage like this to convince people to make Forerunner stuff look more like pre-343 designs again. I wonder what Infinite would've looked like if he hadn't been able to move the needle at all.
>>575234892>They completely ignore all the executives (who are often white) in charge of these companies that are telling their underlings to hire these developersMicrosoft has been jeet ran for like 10 fucking years
>>575233916$0.01 has been deposited to your Microsoft account.
>free product >shit on 343based chinks lmao
>>575231307We've known higher-ups keep overruling others with their poor decisions. It's anyone's guess when that ends. Even if we had a whole live-stream showing they finally did their homework on Halo's past prior to 343, it still wouldn't guarantee they wouldn't get blinded by greed and chase some new trend that pops up after. In the meanwhile, yeah, criticism where criticism is due. Bootlickers dislike the idea of asking for greater quality for some reason. I wish we were in a timeline where people would use most of the time they spend bickering to just plainly, repeatedly state their requests to official accounts as far as things to change or include for a new game.
not reading
It pisses me off how every depiction of MK IV Mjolnir looks more advanced than the MK V. Its the predecessor so it should look more archaic
>>575237767in any case they simply do not understand the m4 design anyway.
yo i think i'm coming to realize that combat evolved and halo at large are actually rancid dogshit poopycaca games compared to the likes of half-life and maybe especially its sequelconcerning shooters and all that

>>575238062what would you put forward as redeeming qualities of gaylo?
This remake makes me want to play Halo 1 again.
>>575237767To me, the marine armor makes no sense. Instead of 1 solid piece of armor for the chest like most modern bullet proof vests are like today, you have huge gaps in the armor for some reason. How does having huge gaps in armor help with protecting you?
my cock is throbbing need a halobro STAT
>>575238319It's rare for me to replay a game with so much out there to play but I'll probably give the remake a whirl someday
gaylo 2 remaster 2 already comfirmed
>>575236085yeah i got it for free too
>>575239024Watching footage of the remake has reminded me that there is a better version of that game already available.
>tyool 2026>no dismemberment>no procedural model erosion as plasma and bullets eat into targets>no dating minigame>no hot sweaty hairy gay sex scene>no in-game casino>no anime girls>no horse racing>no swim trunks master chief skin>no leon kennedy skin>no netflix integrationit's like they wanted this to fail
>>575240287no playable grunts
>>575240453>no big plump grussy for cheef keef to rape in the field and gain temporary but significant stat buffs
>HOTFIX 1.0.1>Fixed an issue where enemy Brutes attempting to sodomize the player could have their holds broken with rapid control input. This was unintended behavior.
>>575240131That's fair enough alright.

Halo is being played.
I'm forcing my can't-play-games-sports-only-wife to play through the Halo games with me. Do I start with CE or Reach?And what game for a taste of multi? 3?
>>575244460>I'm forcing my can't-play-games-sports-only-wife to play through the Halo games with me.This is probably a bad idea. It's ok if you guys have different interests>Do I start with CE or Reach?That being said, always play release order. Reach should be played after 3.>And what game for a taste of multi? 3?Whichever campaign you play, you should play the accompanying multiplayer, if you want to play Multiplayer.
>>575244662>This is probably a bad idea. It's ok if you guys have different interestsno, she'll like what I like
>>575244504From a mod? I like all the parodies.
I'm just gonna pirate CE, anyone know if it makes you have to sign into a Microsoft account or can you just play
>>575244794>no, she'll like what I likeThat's not how it works.What you like is largely the result of your lived experience and upbringing. It's like asking someone to learn a different language.It is important that you find SOME common interests, but you can't usually create them out of something that only one of you is already super interested in alone. As far as each other's hobbies are concerned, all that really matters is that you respect and support each other. My wife doesn't look forward to the NFL like I do, but she understands I enjoy it so as long as it's not completely dominating all my time, she doesn't try to tell me not to engage with it. The same goes for me and her yarn art.But asking someone who barely plays video games to learn to appreciate Halo is a huge task.
>>575245212If you pirate it you don't gotta use any account.
Maybe I'm a gigasperg but I hate that the three prequel missions don't even match CE's mission titling conventions of using settings, characters, or objectives, they just pulled some random phrases out of their ass>first one should been named Triumph of Tolerance, since that's the ship you just boarded>second one should have been called Tiger Company, since that's the squad you rescued and fights alongside you>third one idk, I guess Heavy Burden is fine here although Burden of Proof could have worked too
>>575245212Do not call Campaign Evolved CE.Call it CEmake, CEM, or CER.You do need to have a MS account/gamertag linked to sign in but I believe cracked versions get around that.Really you should just get MCC.
>>575245417the game is an unfinished expensive mod
