Bleach is the root of all.
This will be a shit thread. I know it.
>>575950871Does it really make a difference? Outsourced, contractors, does it matter? Are they working on the next game themselves?
You're all fish in my net.
>>575951085yes. the same studio is working on the 2 and 3 remake
what the fuck was that last thread?

>>575953746Fool, it was the five guys, as usual.
There's only 3 guys now as far as I'm aware. 2 of them roped.

CE > 2 > ODST > 3 > CER > Reach > Infinite > 4 > 5
>>575963958certified HaloknowerCongrats, you have better taste than 90% of this place
>>575963958ODST came out after 3 you idiot you're bad at this
>>575963958Halo 2 is butt booty cheeks
>>575963958
>>575963958>2 over 4nah
ODST > all
>>575963958I'd swap Infinite and Reach but still, close enoughnot badHonestly if the Covenant AI in CER wasn't so underwhelming it would probably be the third best game after CE and 2. The Flood really carry the NPC experience in the remake hard, ironically unlike the original
>>575964371Infinite has more interesting "Covenant" and Sentinal AI to fight than the Remake does.The Flood are arguably the best they have ever been but that only counts for so much.
CEmake has great gunplay but there's more to a game than just that, i thought everything else about it was mediocre at best. I don't think is on the top 5 if i'm being honest.
>>575964741I'd rather play it than every other 343i gameTake that as you will
>>575965001wake me up inside!
>>575964076That's the sad part, he doesn't.

>used a different halo ring asset from the rest of the game for the ending cutsceneWell got the bonus missions to go, got all the skulls but not all the terminals. It was alright, got a lot better towards the end despite how obnoxious the Flood can be even if they're nerfed on the aggression meter. Really needed more time in the oven, but we got a solid modding basis going forwards at least.
>>575966770yeah, it exceeded my expectations but in all fairness they were pretty low
The visual design doesn't bother me at all and I think it looks fine desu, even the cutscenes are alright.But what really bothers me is that the game just feels bad to play, like the people who play tested it (if they even did that) have never played a shooter on m+kb or a halo game.>forced to wait for weapon switching animation before being able to shoot>forced to wait for weapon switching animation before switching back>mouse aiming feels off>DOGSHIT ass performance even with DLSS performance mode>red markers on invisible enemies???For their SECOND attempt at Halo it's pretty pathetic.
>>575967476they remade this game with xbots in mind
>>575967476forgot to mention that the inclusion of newer halo weapons was unnecessary IMOIn the original each weapon is sufficiently unique i.e. the magnum is a short/mid range precision weapon and the sniper is a long range weapon, and you don't really get anything else crowding that space. In Campaign Evolved you now have the Magnum, Sniper, BR in prequel missions, beam rifle, and the needle rifle. I know bungie added those weapons in later games but I thought it was a bad idea then and I still believe that.
>>575967912I think the Beam Rifle at least makes sense so the player isn't just finding the Sniper Rifle around everywhere as the USNC dies off, though that falls into the controversial dichotomy of having equivalent weapons for both factions. What gets me is AR vs. SMG, I wasn't expecting them to actually distribute as many SMGs as they did in the main campaign and almost entirely for Flood sections to effectively make it the old bullethose for the infection form housecleaning. Because the main AR is too overpowered as a general workhorse but really kinda sucks on its magazine and spread for the Flood swarms.
>>575967476the guns are so well done (rare for a 343 era halo) but everything else is off
>>575967476>>red markers on invisible enemies???for some reason they have this bizarre system in place where if a scripted event to progress is waiting for enemies to die, the game automatically marks the trigger enemies that need to die. and of all the things that this can possibly activate on, it's the three spec ops elites. so it's less handholding explicitly for that specific scene and more a weird ass automatic response that neuters the point of the fight, since you've already been encountering spec-ops camo prior in the same mission.
>>575962874okay and? don't reply to me if you aren't either of my precious boys
>fail nofap after a week again>listen to In Amber Clad and Rue & Woe during the ensuing post nut depression refractory period>wake up the next morning to do exercises and go out for the whole day to bike >let the stoic voice of Captain Keyes and the Halo Reach soundtrack burn away the regret, shame, and loss of energy>shieldcharge.wav>become motivated again to re-play some halo and zoom around on sgt johnsons command and save every marine I can find>another day passes, night falls>wind up getting too unstable from all the distracting sight of girls on the street and on 4chan and lose patience after some bad moods or things happen in real life>forget to wait out or to just launch halo to dissipate that excess energy or do anything else so I can sleep until the next day and focus on my work>repeat

>>575969285drink electrolytes and sleep
>>575968356Yeah the SMG was a real headscratcher.As for the Beam Rifle, I know it sucked ass but I would have much rather they stuck with the precision rifle from reach and rebalanced it so that it's at least somewhat different than the sniper.
>>575969109>Shitfinite has 67% of the total earnings>all the legacy titles + Halo 5 altogether only have 33% of the earnings
>>575969637This image is terrible
>>575969891Blame Bungie.That's what happens when you get a game over in Reach.

Indoors you are much stronger but even then, they didn't just stand there to let my Plasma Rifle eat their shields, I'm fucking gobsmacked Remake is this easy

hunter x hunter is halo
>>575984073I feel and understand the gravity of that statement ;-(Just know that Level 1 is a bit of a filter level. It seems insurmountable, but once you beat it, you will have essentially obtained the skills you need to beat the whole thing.That's not to say there are not other tough points. Regret and Gravemind in particular will test you, a lot, but if you can beat Cairo, you can beat Halo 2.Remember to take breaks.
>>575984609like one of these people is still here at allthe rest don't play Halo
>>5759836392 is so weirdly inconsistent. Half the levels are so short that they feel pretty breezy and then the other half are absolute cancer.

>>575985375good shit
>>575984976>the level name
>>575950704Sup haloniggers, I got this code from gaycord but I'm not planning to get the new game so one of you can have it. Just reply if you redeemed it so other people don't try to in vain. I'm abandoning thread now.
>>575985174actually im yesbut okay...
>>575986142Oh thank god i thought i had killed you
That was unironically the hardest section of the game.
Is this the halo thread?
Does Arbiter have a weaker melee attack in Halo 2? The camera shakes so much when meleeing with the bruteshot.
>>575985875Won't be needing it myself but always cool to know about new looks/models since they'll pop up in cool fan renders sometimes.
>>575985875even tho it's piss easy to obtain I'm certain some anon out there may grab it because after all, Discord is pretty gay and jewish.I already have it but thank you regardless anon.

>>575989890Go back
>>575989173DAS RIIIIIITE
>>575955762If they're used I hope they're redesigned to look less advanced than Mjolnir. In Infinite they were trying to get sales but as NPCs I'd prefer other power armor factions have a more distinct look. Maybe visible exo-arm/skeleton parts helping the armor move.

Are there any Halo ecelebs left besides Mint Blitz and HiddenXperia?

>>575989890I don't even care what they're trying to say with thatThe fact that they actually named them like that at all is the problem
>He's hot, blowing my load in 5!Was this line change really necessary?
>>575995863>*blows his load in 1 anyways because hes just that hot*

>>575996671kek the new re6
>>575996671i see a pregnant man laying down
i haven’t gotten my first period yet should i be worried
>>575996590Going back is the heart and soul of Halo
>>575995510Quite possibly if his intent was to kill him by any means. IIs are trained to neutralize human(oid) combatants and have no mental hang-ups about this if it saves lives. Mjolnir + greater mental stability all throughout life would be a major advantage vs a fleshly body with an unstable mind. It could probably still go the other way, but I'd give Sephiroth greater odds prior to going rogue since that version of him would be more focused on the fight rather than being showy.
>>575996671Looks more like the T-headed Admiral having fallen off a naval mine.
>Marty is running for congressroflcopterDUH-DUH-DUH-DUUUUUN

>>575985875Is this the Halo Discord one?Thanks anon.
>>575999401Chief would only need a single melee attack to take him down, though. And unlike Chief, Seph has to wait his turn. Seph is fucked.
>>575990841a classic
>>575992841>Are there any Halo ecelebs left besides Mint Blitz and HiddenXperia?Late Night Halo.There are others too but they don't semi-exclusively cover Halo like those do.
>>575996671What is he blabbering abo-OH MY FUCKING GOSH
>>576000146BLUE TEAM... *has* the flag
>>575999401I'd thought about that, but the premise is no weapons. Both Seph and Cloud in AC were able to push and jump, even grab, lift and throw with their strength. But Soldiers can still be shot so their bodies aren't invulnerable and may be vulnerable to being crushed by Mjolnir. Since Sephiroth can still fly and use magic I can't count him out of the fight, especially if it's not to-the-death.
Playlo status?
>>576000582Played.
bunch of faggots itt honestly
>>576000247>no helmetsoulless>face not at least as pretty as Kat or Dare's actorextremely odd since they have much better face modellingmaybe I can reason it was intentional since she's written to be annoying and then die after she starts seeing the lightstill it's dumb that she was written as she was for bonus missions attached to CER
Yep, it's Halo time.

something BIG is about to happen
Happening™
something BIGGER
Nothing will ever happen again.
Mediocre game heavily carried by its aesthetic
mediocre opinion above
Why did they take this part out of the remake?
You need to reactive the hidden WS caches for that
>>576001218On my recent Legendary run of H1, I fumed so god damned much at the two-bridges segment of Two Betrayals. I was gonna be cheeky and skip it by crouch jumping on the window barriers by the doors like you can in Assault on the Control Room. So, I went onto the entrance of the cov bridge, and hopped over to the flood one. Door was locked, so okay maybe the power generator is on the otherside and its not just another giant u-turn segment. Wait for the cov to kill the flood then continue along the flood bridge before jumping back to the cov bridge and going through the door. Approach room 1, checkpoint. Theres nothing there. Hallway to room 2, empty, checkpoint. Room 2 empty, head for the exit door. Its locked, checkpoint. So now, I have to walk alll the way back to the cov bridge, kill 3 elites. The backtrack enough to get a trigger that sends 3 flood jumping over to the cov bridge. Kill them and advance to the next trigger where 2 flood jump over. Then I approach room 1 and no check point. Room one now spawns flood when I step in. Die because lol flood shotgun get pwnd. Respawn by the locked exit to flood bridge and have to backtrack all the way to cov bridge, rekill 3 elites, re trigger flood jump, etc. Stuggke a bit with this room because its easy to kill 20 combat floods with a single grenade. Die a few times in the hallways because rocket launcher. Room 2 is easy. The flood bridge woth banshees gets me a few times from banshees and rocket floods. Each time I retry, I have to backtrack, kill the elites, etc, etc. They heavily scripted set pieces and the single use unconditional checkpoints made me buttmad as fuck. Still got it, but god damn was that boulder heavy and that hill steep.
>the bull cancelled on you again

>>576000247What was the forced drama all about with her hating Spartans? It made no sense whatsoever, literally no one in the Marines is going to scoff at help from a 7 foot cyber suit super soldier, it made her look like a retard
Putting a woman in Campaign Evolved didn't make it lame and gay; they made it lame and gay and then put a woman in it
Burden of Proof is a pretty cool ship name. It being a destroyer is also pretty funny.

John got tested by higher ups instigating ODSTs trying to start a beef with him, and he murdered four with his bare hands and won an entire tussle as like a teenager out of armor. Some ODSTs also feel slighted by the mere idea of Spartans being considered better than them, the "real pros" which is what they were called before all the shit hit the fan. It's basically dickwaving ego and the main reason why O'Brian was a dipshit in that one Legends story about Cal.
The Purple metal surfaces in Campaign Evolved look fucking hideous and that's like 90% of all Covenant buildings and ships, in CE everything didn't look like it was polished to a mirror sheen from every square inch so it doesn't look as ass or gay
>>576009435Okay, people keep changing the numbers, it was two ODSTs killed, but he did win the fight still. And I think by the time the war really hit its apex towards the games themselves they at least cooled the rivalries off.
>>576009435>Book loreI sleep
>>576008978Bonus missions instead of putting that time into the world of CE, put some "ODST" in but strip them of most of their gear, have one be disrespectful as if you have no other characterization option, and in the same content make Chief weirdly quippy towards Johnson. Just a lot of avoidable bad overlapping and amplifying negativity.
>>576009746if it ain't bungie games, it's gonna have book lore seeped in there. them's the breaks now. at least this was nylund era stuff.
The ramifications of Halo 2 '''''expanding''''' the Halo lore by making the Covenant a huge multi species, cross faction giant religious army really did ripple through the entire series huh
>>576009816>have one be disrespectful as if you have no other characterization optionWhich is very, very selective attention spans because she's absolutely respectful towards Johnson and treats him like a war hero in just the sentence prior. It's just straight up fanboys being angry that Chief wasn't revered on the spot.
>>576009194It worked in a book where you had more time to elaborate on things compared to the pacing a Halo game typically uses. If Halo was the kind of game with branching dialogue trees and building character relationships via choices you could have it be a cool experience of winning people over. In some cobbled together extra content it's unsurprisingly poorly executed. If you weren't going to make ODST models for CE's campaign then you should've at least made the ODST you went out of your way to make content for be cool, but no.
>>576009816>Chief weirdly quippy towards JohnsonAs inconsistent as this is with his relationship with Johnson in the main game, I don't know why people are being so gay over the fact that Chief talks a lot in the bonus missions, he's not a mute character he's allowed to talk. Dialogue was a bit Marvel-slop though granted
The Narrative™ shall be in shambles before the night ends. Ohohohoho...
>>576010017People aren't picking up the game to be disrespected by some showboat NPC. Del Rio got clowned on too for being disrespectful. It would be better for her to be silent and professional, it doesn't have to be instant reverence.
You know there’s only so many times you can reboot a franchise before people get sick of it. What the fuck are they supposed to do now that demake is a flop? God knows we aren’t going to follow up on infinite.
SPV3 is so good when you ain't got a bitch in your ear telling you it's nasty.
>>576010120he's honestly just, book Chief. mission-minded but abnormally talkative and more traditional marine compared to the games. the problem comes in that they didn't really rewrite the main campaign at all beyond an added quip at the start of The Maw to snark back at Cortana about coordinates, so you've got two versions of the character clashing. also doesn't help that nearly all of the franchise, either Cortana or a radio voice is leading Chief so he doesn't really need to talk much in the games; giving Chief and Johnson buddy cop time with no oversight was probably going to be insanely awkward if it was just Johnson talking to a wall. an avoidable situation if they wrote it differently, but here we are.
>>576010376>SPV3 is so good when you ain't got a bitch in your ear telling you it's nasty.
>>576010120>he's allowed to talk. Dialogue was a bit Marvel-slop though grantedYou kinda get it: there are other options. Plenty of other things to have Chief talk about. Really, you could have Chief comment on anything by having it be his internal thoughts, and just giving players instances to look at something, press a button and get some lore or tactical assessment that's based on his knowledge across a long-spanning war. But if they don't want it then the button remains unpressed. So many other options than "Marvel-slop".
>>576010120It’s a bit retarded to play through 10 missions in a row where the guy doesn’t say a word in game to then jump into a mission where he won’t shut the fuck up for 2 seconds. Idk man. Also personally Steve is sounding a bit too old for my liking if I’m being honest.
>>576008978it's forcedjust look at metacritic reviewsthe hate campaign is in full force
>brown hands poster also browses /dg/ and /owg/
>>576010553now we're in hyperbole, he doesn't talk that much, just when Johnson eggs him or their mission needs to figure on. it's still notable versus the main game but there's absolutely no winning with folks for this shit
>>576010553His last great delivery was in Halo 5
>>576010397>>576010508I think not having his waifu in his head for that part might have played a part, he talks to her more and more as the series goes on>>576010553He talks in the main campaign though, mostly to Cortana but it's there
>>576010565This is cope
>>576010376it's difficult to sap all the fun from Halo even in such a choppy looking modby all means stay too busy playing it to post unflattering webms in the thread
>>576010723Chief's stages of grief and denial over Cortana's rampancy in 4 was more interesting to me than anything going on in the actual story
>>576010617>he thinks its only one poster
>>576010723Not in game he doesn’t. Only in cutscenes.
>>576010553I don't think 343i or especially the fanbase is ready to deal with recasting Master Chief.Steve worked for Infinite since they were playing a bit into Master Chief getting old but he sounds even older now, in a game where he was the youngest when he recorded all the OG lines so it's very jarring.
>>576010656You want to win people over, how about start with not releasing a buggy mess and stop reusing models. How do you expect people to be tolerant of anything in this game when this is level of quality we’re getting?
>>576010882What difference does it make? As far as his character goes he doesn't have 'cutscenes' and 'gameplay' it's just him>>576010845Is that scene where Cortana is being impressed with all the knowledge in the Library supposed to be a foreshadowing to her going crazy
>>576010565Ok marketer
>>576011062>What difference does it make? It’s jarring to anyone with at least two braincells
>>576009968The older I get the more and more I start to really dislike Halo 2's narrative choices.I utterly hate the Gravemind.
The Mutes are angry because Chief doesn't represent them any longer. It's time for them to buy a mic.
>>576009968That’s what they were in halo CE as well retard
>>576010617it's pretty obvious who it is
>>576008978there are legitimate criticisms for the game, a little of them actually, but yeah some doomposters were always going to find obscure stuff to make a big deal about
>>576011179Well I hated the Flood ever since the first game, Gravemind was just another eyeroll worthy step to them going all in on the worst aspect of the series to me
>>576010723It's really not about the quantity to me. I wouldn't think to describe the lines as "Marvel-slop" on my own since I don't know what the movie writing is like these days, but lines like "Are you threatening me Sergeant?" stand out in a cheesy way, especially when talking to another soldier. Tactical assessments, staying mission-focused and asking about details from the briefing that the player would've missed, etc. Even Infinite, for all its faults, was praised for Chief cutting the BS, sometimes being silent like when the pilot asked about anyone seeing a Pelican, or when he came out of hibernation and ignored the woah woah to ask for a status report. So they had a more recent model of how to write Chief. I would even have taken a "There won't be a town if we don't stop the Covenant" over what he actually said.
>>576011179I wanted a boss fight against Gravemind in Halo 3 and we never did get one ever
>>576011602>"uh sorry we cannot into management so we have to cut the second half of floodgate and stick it in as the cortana level pls understand" - bungie 2007

Okay so dialogue and story aside did anyone not really like the bonus missions? they were kinda' just several combat sandboxes stuck together, you basically go from organic set piece to set piece and some of the reinforcement spawns are quite brutal on Legendary. The Brute chest device mechanic was fucking retarded from a story perspective but for a gameplay mechanic it was fun
>>576009968yephalo 2 just sucks
Damn this nigger out here watching oinkers by choice
>>576011850Literally the one objective enemy upgrade over CE though, it's also been discovered that if you can shoot their back a few times the plate will fall of and you can 'one shot' them again by shooting the device underneath
>>576012012What a downgrade.Anything to advantage the modern xbots, I suppose.
>>576011873I only liked the second one. "Outdoor" Covenant environments are really quite rare and I like the idea of an agriculture ship being turned into a hunting ground.
>>576012143You think it's cool that you can drop them in one shot from a pistol?
>>576011850It's Hunter, btw.
>>576012179That part with the bridge with the Wraith at the end and you can go down the left side to flank the enemies on the bridge shooting at Johnson was cool man
How in God’s name do you fuck up a series so badly?

I think I’ve used hijacking once in the game and it was when cortana told me to. Beyond that the game just doesn’t have a lot of vehicle sections.

LET THE UNGGOY DEAL IN THE REAL WORLD
Ok I don't hate the bonus missions either so far wtf?I'm kind of enjoying the remake help.
>>576026457good goy
>>576026457it's unironically the best halo game since the OT.It's still huck full of some bullshit tho.
btw guys holy fucking fuckclassic ce's campaign on normal of all difficulties is RIDICULOUS kino oh my lordliterally a perfectly-put-together game on many fronts. nonstop balls to the wall near-effortless ayylmao murder, needler's the only weapon that doesn't carry its weight, eveyrthing else is hilarious to use. fucking love it.
>>576026548good take but replace normal with legendary
>>576026548>ESLsus
>>576026548happy for youonce you're done, play it on heroic then legendary
>>576026604the assault rifle falls of a cliff in anything beyond normal and how pants-shittingly fun it is to use is basically the barometer for how well the game is assembled in my eyesi've done heroic and legenday ce and they get in the way of what is otherwise a close to flawless roller coaster of a game.there's a lot to say for added difficulty as the sandbox can make it very fun but on the gamey gamey game front, yeah, no. normal difficulty is what's up. shit is lubed up.
>>576026548>t.
its so easy to rile myself up
>being a boring nerd digging into ce remake animations>just assume it's the same as reach blam>it is but then something retarded happensSo for first person, the arms part is handled by blams animation system, but the gun part is unreal's animation system. I don't know why the FUCK they did this convoluted mess but it certainly explains how the arms and gun can become desync'd from each other.The BR being the most notorious example. The guns just flat out aren't in their respective fp animation_graph tag.
>>576027054>the assault rifle falls of a cliff in anything beyond normalnah, it's viable on Legendary if you're actually good at it>i've done heroic and legenday ce and they get in the way of what is otherwise a close to flawless roller coaster of a gameDying over and over and over and over and over and over again and barely scraping your way through a mission over hours and hours isn't the same thing.CE's Legendary is the ideal experience for the game. Obviously you have to work your way up to being proficient at it, but once you are, the entire sandbox is viable. In fact, the only weapon that you will probably almost never use is the Plasma Rifle, and that's not because it isn't viable (it is) it's just the Plasma Pistol is pretty much a straight improvement of it.Then again, i'm a retard for bothering to argue with someone who is playing the game on normal.I am glad you enjoy it though.
>>576027473nah
>>576027760AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>576027760
>>576027760>barely scraping your way through a mission over hours and hoursm8 i don't think any of them have a 'standard' runtime beyond 30 minutes give or takeany elements that are multiplying that are not necessarily adding anything to the titlecowering and waiting for your shields to come back and popping your head out for another couple shots before rinsing and repeating dozens and dozens of times on end is not the most engaging thing in the world
>>576027994>cowering and waiting for your shields to come back and popping your head out for another couple shots before rinsing and repeating dozens and dozens of timesI thought you were talking about CE, not Reach. My mistake.
>>576028078TRVKE
>>576028078in his defense he is describing my Legendary experience back when I was like 13 years old and didn't know you were supposed to be aggressive
You guys made Williams out to be more annoying than she actually is.I mean, she is annoying, but I was led to believe it's more of a woke insert thing when in reality she's not really like that.
>>576028309There's been a few forced culture war non-issues thrown at the game on the internet. A few days ago people were CONVINCED you couldn't kill female officers on the POA bridge.
>>576026457It isn't that there's nothing to enjoy, there's just unenjoyable stuff that would not be there if devs were doing their homework on Halo. The more time progress the more hindsight there is to leverage so the less excuse their is for certain fumbles. If it's never spoken up about then it's "Well no one ever said anything!"
>>576028309She's just Kat 2.22.
this general
>>576027760This is a prime example of the toxic positivity and contrarianism combo. The AR is dogshit on heroic and legendary. It's faster to just melee an elite to death. So it's objectively shit. No one is saying you can't do well with it. Just like no one is saying you can't enjoy halo 5. But it's total garbage and you are wasting your limited time on earth by forcing yourself to use shit guns and play shit games. You think you're getting 1-up over anon but you're really just sealing your fate as one of those people who just never achieves their potential.
>>576027994>cowering and waiting for your shields to come back and popping your head out for another couple shots before rinsing and repeating dozens and dozens of times on endBut enough about 3 and Reach...
>>576028859anon lets get off this fiction that the games are at all that distinct from one another whatsoeveri know you'd like to think that bungo managed to reinvent the wheel each go but it's the same shit every single time and frankly we both know it ;3
>>576028781>The AR is dogshit on heroic and legendary. again. this is just false.The issue is you.
I'm just gonna make some webms of my own gameplay using the AR on legendary tomorrow to shut this newfag up.I'd love to do it now but it's literally 3:30 in the morning.I'm gonna do it though.
>>576028309For me it's just don't write a character, especially a fellow soldier, to be disrespectful. It's just lame in a series where most troopers are chill at all times. Sticks out like Palmer and more so Del Rio did. Even Shipmaster didn't try to jab at the player and actually praised a Scarab takedown. That and if you give these people an inch they'll take a mile and ramp it up. Pushback is never any guarantee of instant improvement with the current apparatus that handles Halo, but one can only imagine things being even worse if you keep quiet.
>>576027760I remember learning to tap the fire button with the AR rather than holding down or using bursts, and found in both campaign and even multiplayer its damage would add up faster and from farther away, which would also let me save on pistol ammo. Apparently the remake's AR can always hit dead-center?
>>576029417the remake's AR is crazy powerful
>>576029417placebo
>>576029271I guess I don't really see the problem with her being disrespectful. It's explained, she gets over it, and all is good. I was expecting some kind of butch lesbian yas queen insert and didn't get that. I don't need everyone to be in awe of the chief from the get go. I do see the point though.
>>576029271Pushback centering on Williams is a net negative use of criticism because she is like a grain of sand in a game that has boulder-sized problems in comparison.Focus on things that actually matter, like the fact that PvP multiplayer is just completely missing, or that the game is more bugs than a coffin.It's like how in Halo 5 people wouldnt shit up about muh spnkr design and so 343 threw the original design back in and used that as cover to say "see? we DO hear you" instead of addressing an actual problem.
>>576029859>great point>ESLum... based? Guys help me out, I can't tell if that's based or not.
>>576029271Spec ops leader is an interesting example. He insults the arbiter but it's before we know we're actually playing as the arbiter and at that point we feel the arbiter deserves it. >>576028309Bungie made girlboss characters that chatted shit like cortana in halo 1 and no one complained because it was well done. She snapped at chief at the end of assault on the control room and berated him at the start of two betrayals. But it was well written. She was ultimately justified, so we got over it, as men do. If it's just some random cunt being a cunt for no reason, our instinct is to tie it up and drown it in the river.
>>576029859People speak about all of that, they don't want anything slipping through the cracks. The same leadership that will add a design back into the game due to criticism, would also look at something not being spoken up about and reason it's fine to include again and take further. Overlapping fields of fire.
>>576029859>tactical ignoranceretard, what about williams reminds you of your mother?
>>576029578>aweSecond time I've seen this brought up, but the word I used was chill. People don't just like Marines for their praise, but I'd say they like gung-ho attitude and in some cases treating you like any other soldier. "Hey that was my kill!"Even her being written to be silent and only focusing on the mission with may a funny look or frown, before getting over it later, would be preferable. They have other, better options no matter how you look at it.
>>576029450I look forward to trying it sometime. Damage aside, I'll be glad if it hits the center every time if I just do 1 shot at a time. AR doing so is the one thing I'd change about the original, but maybe it would be too strong then due to its damage and 60 rounds.

Even so they had plans for plot beyond both versions of The Ark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfJCQbJA3v0&t=1180sSome key leaders were willing to work on Halo again and in some cases did get rehired. Nothing wrong with wanting to do something different and having the guts to leave and do it. Those who came after them should've had the same conviction about putting radically different ideas in a new IP and waiting until they could do so.

>>576035342Considering how much CE changed publicly while it was developed, the general expectation an adult would have for how a final game can differ from a demo, and weighing an expansive campaign against a short teaser, I'm sure he did.

I WANT TO ENGAGE IN SLOPPY HOMOSEX WITH AN /HG/ GIRL (MALE)
GOOD MORNING MINTO
was much of a consensus ever reached on this?the pauldrons are to die for but i found the helmet more than a little ways goofy
>>576035948You wanna hear about what I did to Minto? You want to hear how I tied her to the bed? Not too tight, so I could watch her struggle. You want to hear about how I made her go down on her knees, forced myself inside of her? You want to hear how she was alone with me all night. She did things that... she never expected to do, that she never imagined were possible. With her fingers. With her mouth. Or do you want to hear how, at the beginning, she said she would do anything? I mean, she begged me for her life. And by the morning time, when she was lying, shaking, crying, bleeding, she was begging me to take her out of her misery.

>>576036571For me it was just one of those things where I wondered why they spent the time and effort with more important things to model, test and implement, but I feel similarly about the time spent on the bonus missions. Or if you really want to create extra play value rather than spend time imitating the original designs more closely then make a Firefight mode.

>>576051991Yeah I know about Custom Edition, I've been playing it for many years. But Anon says Halo PC can run Halo CE maps nowadays thanks to Chimera, but I was unaware of Halo PC having any inherent advantages. Back in my day we just called Halo: Combat Evolved "Halo 1", and disambiguated between the retail PC port and Custom Edition with "Halo PC" and "Halo CE" respectively. Now all the cool kids are calling Halo 1 "Halo CE"!
>>576028309>You guys made Williams out to beDon't group me in with anyone. I held my tongue on everything in this game that wasn't visual, and even on that it looks better than I expected.What I cannot get over is how inconsistent the AI is with weapon effectiveness.

>>576052861I was around for the PC and Custom Edition "golden age" days.My problem with calling anything "1" is I think it sounds stupid.Battlefield 1 was also stupid.
>>576052061Makes me wonder about Halo with Egyptian themes taking the place of the Greek ones in Halo.
>>576047443>You did play with it on, right?I tried it out but eventually turned it off. It breaks the game. The 36 round AR is already better than CE's AR was.If I want to play og CE I'll just play og CE, which I do pretty much weekly. But the 60-round skull in CER is basically Bandana-Light.I don't use the no-sprint skull either. I just don't use sprint. I don't lack self control.
>>576053954Yeah they made the AR probably the most all-around viable it has ever been in a campaign. Close Range or even semi-long range you can kill anything that's not a hunter.

I'd ask him over on /vr/, but the thread got deleted.Halo PC looks so much better than what they managed to do with Refined on Custom Edition.For classic CE it's currently this:- MCC CEA: Best graphics by far AND you can buy it, but the sound is broken (unless you use custom maps, which makes it the *best* audio on PC at the cost of being locked out of most online features), multiplayer has some pretty major issues in its core gameplay, and the classic controls are sluggish on controller and don't match the original controls at all- Map geometry is still based on the Gearbox version. Sidewinder's teleporters are two-way, Hang Em High doesn't have a lip on the pit, and you can't jump through the windows on Creek.- Custom Edition: The graphics are completely and utterly fucked, the netcode is trash, and there's no analog movement in multiplayer, but you get modding support, server lists, dedicated servers, and *full* custom map support, and besides the crappy netcode and lack of analog movement, the multiplayer at least works the same as it did originally- Retail/Trial Halo PC: Same as Custom Edition, but somewhat better graphics at the cost of fewer mods and maps- Xbox (via XEMU): Worse performance than any native PC release (for obvious reasons), no online netcode, no native keyboard&mouse support built into the game, and it's legally dubious, but it's the original game, and there are mods for it to add custom maps
>>576054364Is there a way to get Custom CE maps in MCC without replacing preexisting map files?

>>576056134Overcharge no longer wipes jackal gauntlets which is sad and bizarre, but it does do decent overall damage and peppering is pretty good against high ranking elitesAverages out to about the same level of usefulness I'd say
>>576051583>>576051991>>576054634>What graphical regressions did CE have over PC?Custom Edition has a number of bugs that have to be worked around - bugs which aren't present on the retail or trial versions of the game. This is why Chimera can load Custom Edition maps and join Custom Edition servers. Gearbox broke the shaders to make them faster on GPU's of the day, then they decided to support fixed function GPUs, did a terrible job at it, and then when hardly anyone was using fixed function GPUs anymore, they decided to release custom edition and make the graphics even worse for everyoneBumpmaps in xbox and mcc are also in the p8-bump format as well whereas restored are 32-bit uncompressed. Chimera technically supports p8-bump now so they could be used directly. MCC matches Xbox because it uses the literal same tags (even bringing back the import settings bugs gearbox fixed).Chimera has a feature to load Custom Edition maps on retail too. to enable this take the custom edition resource maps and append 'custom_' to them, then install in the maps folder with the other resource mapsRefined is outdated. Restored is the way to go now>I re-imported every bumpmap with p8-bump turned on and changed settings where needed until the pixels matched the Xbox tags bit-for-bit then I imported them again with p8-bump turned off, for use on Halo PC. Any visual difference is because of not using p8-bump.>P8 is a format where there are 255 possible 32 bit colour combinations that can be chosen from a lookup table that are pre defined by the game. P8 was pretty much phased out in graphics hardware in the early 2000s so it was dropped in Halo PC and bump bitmaps were reimported in X8R8G8B8 or A8R8G8B8 32 bit formats. Chimera now converts P8 textures to 32-bit when the game tries to load one.CEnshine was just Shadowmods version of edit on EffectCollection_ps_2_0.enc for Custom Edition. Chimera should do this out of the box as long as the chimera.ini is setup correctly

What else have these people specifically worked on? The gunplay feels right, at least for PvE, they nailed it.
Why isn't Halo about life liberty and the pursuit of happiness anymore? Why is it instead sward swallowing and fluid sampling?

For me, it's Blake Belladonna. Neo is fine too.
2026 review on the library btw:i mean it's a bit of a slog, but i suspect the idea is to come out super inundated with the flood and it achieves that. you know what you're doing with them hence. shit certainly loops on itself with the level geometry and pathing and such pretty hard the shotgun is primo lubricant for it all of course and one's well furnished to play with it just about constantly all the whilegenerally i think the encounters actually carry it, the flood are profuse enough to make it all sufficiently hairy that it's a good fight and one stays engaged if the impression intended was to be skulking around inside the bowels of something far beyond one's capacity to make sense of or comprehend while beset all the while it's a fine success7-8/10. the flood are great fun.
yeeze kiss >~<
>>576061460My only real complaint is that they spawn too many waves per spawn. 5 different waves every 10 feet is a bit too much.
>>576061460They might honestly be my favorite Flood to fight. It's like they took the H3 Flood and modified them to be more CE-like and it strikes a nice balance. The Tanks are handled much better as well. I like the way they barf out little guys when they have nothing better to do.That all being said, it makes me wonder even more why they didn't do this for the Covenant Reach AI. From what I can tell they have much less work done "under the hood" and were more or less mostly just copy-pasted in. It's really frustrating because they're the more common enemy faction.
Final redpill:Only CE is good.
>>576061460ce btwnot playing 343's swill
>>576059194Come to think of it I've never died in a single hit to Flood w/shotgun since my playstyle either has me too far from them for that or I'm moving from cover to cover.

>namefaggingPoster #2 here but I speak for 1, 3, 4, and 5 when I say please shut the fuck up and post Halo
Say something nice about Halo 4 and Halo 5
absolutely not
I'm noticing the non-shitposting/predetermined doomer consensus is starting to cement down to>yeah it has a lot of problems but it's still the best campaign and gunplay since the Bungie Trilogy. It's better than Reach if we're being honest.and my issue with this is this was pretty much the exact same rhetoric Infinite got.
>>576063954There is literally nothing nice to say about 4. It is literally the biggest steaming pile of shit in the franchise. It looks nothing like Halo, sounds nothing like Halo and plays nothing like Halo.They even wanted and pushed to recast both Jen and Steve.5s base multiplayer was at least miles better, even though the campaign was more like a higher budget Spartan Ops.I cannot take anyone seriously who doesn't have 4 at the bottom of the pile
>>576063954Halo 4 has a really underrated map rosterBreakout is great modeThat's all I've got
if you actually consider anything after reach to have been a gaylo game you don't love let alone respect gaylo
>>576064195Both can be true.The reality is there is more of a canyon difference in quality between the original Bungie Trilogy and Reach than nostalgiatards want to admit, and both Infinite and CER can both exist in there while still not quite being within striking distance of the OT games.
>>576064195>It's better than Reach if we're being honest.Why is Reach so controversial here?
you guys are too easy to rile up
>>576062685
>>576064589what riles you up, anon?besides riling people up, of course
>>576063140I have no qualms with that. Myth was Myth. Marathon was Marathon. Halo was Halo and so on. Different tech. Different deadlines. Different goals.
dog is desperate because she got kicked out of the polycule
>>576064569>Why is Reach so controversial here?It's simultaneously the most overrated and underrated game in the series.It gets overrated because it's the last Bungie game so it gets parasitically grafted onto and grouped with 1, 2, and 3 (+ODST) when in reality it's the start of almost everything nu-Halo related. Hell, we are STILL stuck with the ghost of Reach's engine being the foundation for everything since (except Infinite, but they've already gone back to Reach Blam now with CER)At the same time, it very clearly has a more stable development hand behind it than 4, 5, and Infinite did, and 343 apologists can't stand this, so they constantly use shitting on Reach as a cover to subtly try to prop up 343shit. Seriously, a huge percentage of the time when someone is railing on Reach out of nowhere, they are often seething that people hate 4 more, not always though.So there ends up being this venn diagram where Bungie Halo is on one side and Nu Halo is on the other, and Reach sits comfortably in the overlap area, and the autistic mind literally can't differentiate this and feels a NEED to categorize it one way or another.Reach is not great. Reach is not bad.It's literally just fine.
crazy that infinite introduced bar none the sexiest character in the series though innit
>>576065209>Hell, we are STILL stuck with the ghost of Reach's engine being the foundation for everything sinceExplain this?
>>576065248Sure is.

>>576065328Halo 1 = Halo 1.0Halo 2 = Halo 2.0Halo 3 = Halo 3.0ODST = Halo 3.1Reach = Halo 4.0Halo 4 = Halo 4.1Halo 2 Anniversary = Halo 4.11Halo 5 = Halo 4.2Halo Infinite = Halo I.0Halo Campaign Evolved = Halo 4.1.1Every Halo has been built off an earlier code, but since Reach, they have just more built on top of the finished product rather than getting under the hood and really building up something newer and more unique.
>>576065863>Reach = Halo 4.0>Halo 4 = Halo 4.1>Halo 5 = Halo 4.2>Halo Infinite = Halo I.0There were clear and massive engine upgrades between these games.
Sprinting on CEmake is not a sprint they came up, it's the sprint ability from Reach. These bastards are lazy.
>>576062245>They're all fantastic. I'm convinced each female character was at least somewhat designed to cater to a different fetish. Not even talking about the main 4. All of them.True.
stop playing 343's swill and get a refund immediately
>>576065863No jaime, no clue. You can have all the technical knowledge in the world about this engine but only jaime had the ingenuity to make something truly epic out of it. They should just fully transition to unreal engine to avoid all the overhead. Their development issues would vanish and we'd get more than 2 games a decade. They'd be shit games, but they'd be games nonetheless. And maybe a few of their stupid ideas could actually be kinda neat. Like escharum.

i love you /hg/only a thread pertinent to the most raped vidya franchise in existence could be as funny as you are
>>576063954Promethean weapons were cool and fun
>>576062879That was always laughable to me because Crysis 2 and 3 multiplayer tried the "give players tons of speed and survivability" approach, with the added advantages of more modern and familiar environments and guns, but still didn't hold onto players. There's an audience for everything but too much emphasis on using abilities where you'd spend much more time shooting if they weren't in the game, it just doesn't seem like one that holds onto as many players.

Anyone else absolutely despise the halo books and lore? I have never once read them but anytime I see them referenced it’s seems to be used to defend some atrocious thing 343 created. “Actually this steaming pile of dogshit 343 did is lore accurate because it’s in some shitty book by a F tier author that no one read” I don’t care about retarded lore beyond halo 1-Reach

>>576063954Plenty of nice things to say but the bad they do not outweighLike students who didn't study despite abundant material 343 does not get a passing grade
SYS-1 is still ruining the game despite the recent patchWTF are they doing?

>>576068264wtf are you doing manplaying anything that 343 developed?is it a lack of taste? self respect? what's going on here?
Ok, so let me get this straight. Forerunners created the flood by driving another precursor race away and then when said flood proves to be so unbeatable the only, literally the ONLY way to defeat them was by nuking the entire galaxy before the flood does. As the Forerunners decide to kill literally everyone and everything, the forerunners, in their Infinite(tm) retardation decided to save some flood for further study? Forerunners took the unbeatable, unkillable, infinitely respawning lovecraftian horror and saved it from the super death ray build specifically to counter the fucking unbeateable, unstoppable, eternal evil god? They saved the fucking thing that forced them to nuke the world? Has there ever been a more retarded godlike precursor race in all of science fiction then the Forerunners?
>>576068430It's just such an easy fix it makes me mad whether I play it or not.
>>576068559The flood would be cooler if they were never fully explained but Redditors want everything to be completely explained and have zero mystery at all
>>576068559Forced.
RubberDukky won btw.
>>576067701I was surprised by how much play that saw despite how dead 5 was by then. Perhaps its positive reception was part of why Infinite managed to do away with most Spartan Abilities. But after Reach already gave Abilities in core gameplay a fair chance, 4 and onward should've reserved them for alternative playlists/Customs. We literally could've had it all and space was never any issue considering various large or silly modes that existed.
Ticonderoga's jammer won.
damn the flood probably had a tentacle up keyes' ass by the time cheef keef put the fist through his skull that's crazy to think about
>>576068559Their motivation for actually fighting the flood in the first place was that the flood would be an end to life as a whole and killing everything and restarting was a way of keeping life going. They kept the flood around because it could evolve into something less destructive. Like how retards keep criminals in jail because they might get better even though forcing everyone to pay for the whole bash makes everyone else's life worse, which is why the criminal was removed from society in the first place. It's a snake eating its own tail - that kind of thinking is why the precursors wanted to great replace the forerunners with humanity.I much prefer the Christian version of the forerunners to this confused lame garbage.
not me.ain't happenin'.
>>576069230We get it, you hate Halo.
>>576069492He loves Halo more than you.
too many fucking twitter users in this general as of late im gonna take a break until theyre gone
>>576069641we get it you hate halo
FORCED
>>576069641see you tomorrow
>>576067715Bungie-era media was a nice look into other parts of the universe. Even so, stuff got ignored at times in trade-offs I think were worthwhile. Elites showing up en masse and surprising many at Reach? That was cool, but so was changing that to allow them to be in Halo Wars.Seeing thoughts of Chief and others which you wouldn't get in the usual format of a Halo game. Granted, Halo had instances where you were free and meant to wander around at your leisure. You could give players tons of optional prompts to get extra information and even talk with NPCs. But since it wouldn't be mandatory players would still be free to play Halo like usual.343 on the other hand tried to strongly tie their books and games together, on top of trying to push all this defeatist, depressing thinking. Constantly trying to take the "super" out of "super soldier" and make Halo more focused on drama between humans, both in books and games. Shills would demand people be positive about all content, forgetting that if 343 showed a positive attitude to what existed before them they wouldn't create all this divisive content to begin with.
>>576069230You just can't afford it lol
>"Y-Y-ou're t-too poor!!!"Stop being mean!
>>576068559343 making Forerunners as petty as us but with greater tech sucks. Keeping samples to study in hopes of devising counter-measures should their be more Flood out there makes sense. They didn't foresee records becoming so screwy that other species would one day become the Covenant recklessly trying to get into places for war efforts. Even when stuff broke down a Gravemind was containable until the added stress of Covenant shenanigans started tearing up the place.

>>576069950>343 on the other hand tried to strongly tie their books and games together, on top of trying to push all this defeatist, depressing thinkingIts a shame Halo went to shit once they let Karen Traviss write Glasslands 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 and continue Ghosts of Onyx 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.

>>576071481I'm pretty sure the greentext part is referring to 343's version where Forerunners drove Precursors to extinction and insanity, so they turned themselves into space dog food which result in the Flood. So not Joe's version.
Halo Campaign Evolved performed well on Xbox, but PS5 gamers give it a collective shrug — just 1% of PS5 gamers tried it, hurting Xbox's brand identity for no real return
you want a tylenol or something before i go big guy?
>>576073657Where's Goku?
>>576071647I remember enjoying Forerunner trilogy partially because I did not at all keep up with the social media side of Halo and expected that much like Bungie-era books it wouldn't have super strong ties to the game content. Plus those 343 short stories, some of which were adapted into motion comics, really gave me the impression they'd be doing cool things with characters and forces from modern times in Halo. Didiact(s) or Forerunners coming back to be used as lame antagonists? Didn't see that and a whole lot of other things coming. I didn't see the "sell anti-Halo with Halo's name" approach coming. Insane direction taken.
