>>583267175Yeah each Gears Game got progressively more bright emotional.You can really see the transition from the guys that made Unreal Tournament to the company that ended up making Fortnite occur through Gears 1, 2, and especially 3.

Most fun I've had in Gears since Gears 3, except with the aesthetic of Gears 1 (or at least damn close)This could be the goat Gears game when all content is out.

How are you guys enjoying recompiled Halo 3?
>>583274643poor man's dewrito
>>583274643It's cool. Feels weird being able to play Halo 3 at 300+FPS but I'll probably get used to it soon, if not I can always lock it to 60.
>>583274643Haven't played that yet. Last I heard it wasn't ready.Project Reclaimer isn't a recompiling project, in case you meant that.
>>583274643I haven't been in a big /hg/ session for it yet but I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have played.I like that it's staying ambitious but still has the classic feel
>>583274819Oh it's not? Then disregard >>583274768 if we are talking about something else. I was talking about Reclaimer. There's so much fan shit coming out for Halo now it's hard to keep track of.
>>583275117Classic Halo is basically on its way to becoming more or less open source. These are the first steps.
I think Project Reclaimer might die down eventually, but the project that comes right after might be even better. It's like a version 1.0 of what will become a great way to play Halo out of Microsoft's reach..
>>583275496...and then It will die out again because MCC is more convenient. Unfortunately.
>>583275629>download client>boot it up>playI think we've reached the peak of convenience. If the community can't figure out these 3 easy steps then it might as well be already over.
>>583275796Because El Dewrito is bustling with lobbies right now, isn't it?

I think Gears of War is the coolest looking game of the seventh generation. But does it have a power fantasy at any level? Like Master Chief Bungie games had.
Whoa Master Chief is so cool, he stomped the Hunter in one hit
>>583281639Siege classes with the right build let you become nearly Invincible.

It's over.
And yet...
>>583267128How much you wanna bet that halo will try pushing immigrant sympathy propaganda with covenant asylum seekers being hated post war?
>>583286723Go back.
>>583284391>>583284524>>583285105The real Masterchief would have closed in, stabbed the Brute in the neck repeatedly and finished him off instead of doing a flashy kickflip just to put more distance after he had just rushed him down. The Brute needs some space between them to use that hammer and Chief willingly gives it back to him for no reason (except to look cool for the camera).Chief could have punished that whiff with a full damage combo. He also has frame advantage and faster startup no matter what the Brute tries defensively. Chief could have kept applying pressure. Why would he light flashkick the Brute into a stagger only to reset himself back to neutral and wait for the Brute to recover poise? No knockdown into okazumi? Not even a throw? I'm pretty sure that flashkick could have been canceled into a divekick super, mid-air.
>>583286723>a with covenant asylum seekers being sexually desirable and the UNSC's top priority to mate with themFixed.Tell me the UNSC isn't a corrupt disaster funneling 90% of the budget on Covenant hookers. Tell me humans don't naturally crave sex with Elite women.
>>583287642>The real MasterchiefStopped reading right there.
>>583279930
>>583287642Pay your daughter's child support Dale
>>583287703Yeah, his name is Masterchief. He's the main protagonist of Halo 1, 2, and 3. Halo 4 and beyond are played by a stunt devil lookalike name John 117. He tends to mope a lot, which is not what the real Masterchief would do.
Is this the halo thread?
>>583287674I'm more interested in Spartan women. Where do I submit my boyfriend application to one of these ladies?

Is it just me, or is it 'Muy Caliente' in here?
Master Chief is a Jjaro cyborg. That is why he can go rampant. Halo 3 is noncanon. Chief died in the crash and these are his hallucinations before his mind gives out. To deny this is to deny Halo CE where NPCs say>Look, a Mark V!and address him by his equipment rather than >Look, a Spartan!because Spartans are cyborgs made from Jjaro tech.
Extra Spicy Hot Ta(biological fe)males
>>583278650he is gonna have to be quiet from now on about stuff like that
AI got that one!
AI caught that one.
>>583289241>Chief died in the crash and these are his hallucinations before his mind gives out.I wish this type of storytelling died out. If you as a writer want to be this lame or you hate your characters so much, why even bother writing the story at all, since it doesn't matter anyway because nothing actually happened? Why do you need to drag the audience onto some wild goose chase that leads nowhere? There's no point, you're just wasting everyone's time. What do you even gain from telling a story like that? That's Hideo Kojima level of disrespect to his audience and characters. If you hate something so much, then stop doing it.
Who up playing Monster Hunter P3rd.
>>583289826And before you say>Then stop consuming these types stories anonI would, but the writer usuall keeps this fact hidden until the very end of the stroy after he has already had his laughs. If they could be more considerate and let me know before I look into it, then I would have avoided it.
>>583289241That explains why everyone in Halo 3 became retarded.
>>583289241Given Bungie's ideas on an eternal reincarnating hero, that's easily linked into Destiny with a Ghost discovering the corpse.
>>583289241I'm still unhappy Bungie dropped the plot points about Chief being over a thousand years old and capable of rampancy.
>>583278961
>>583291973i'm not, that's sounds gay.

>>583292729This is a community who frequently presses our balls to the faces of defeated enemies. Often male defeated enemies.
>>583294296I thought it was our unwashed spartan butts?
Anyone playing gears know how to get the OG scope for the longshot in E-day? It was on by default in the beta, but not in retail.
>>583294296Keep your sex out of my general.
>>583295334Isn't it an attachment? I don't use the sniper but I'm pretty sure it is an attachment.

Niggas gonna be playin Halo!
>>583295770Yes but which one.
>>583296178The scope attachment
fighting Seeders is miserable why the fuck do you NEED explosives to be able to hurt them?
>>583298254You do?
The Regular... And the Usual.
>>583298489Yeah you need to nade or boomer or gutpunch them and them shoot them with the armor off. 6 seconds later they go back down the hole and get new armor.
>>583298254I figured out how to kill them, they teach you in the story mode. You can't hurt them if they have armor, you need to get close to the seeder for him to burrow down and bring out his exposed other hand, then you shoot him with bullets or explosive. If has two heads, one armor and one with his jaws. I was having trouble with him too on the beta version.
>>583298652>>583298961Yeah you don't need explosives you just gotta bait them.
>>583298961>>583299109What? How? I got close to one in beta and i think it fucking bit me
Halo is an awesome series
>>583299262You just gotta make him borrow in, then run away and shoot once his head comes out. Idk if throwing explosives inside the hole will do anything while he's changing positions.
>>583299418How do you make it burrow? Shooting any part of it just shows the shield icon which tells me I'm not doing anything
INSANE
What moment in Halo canon feels most like this
>>583299568You gotta walk next to it.
Seeders annoyed me too until I got the hang of itHonestly that's the whole game.You really have to git gud at a lot of it, but it doesn't take that long
>stop visiting /hg/ regularly>343/HS fallshmm
What's your main?
>>583300853MarksmanI fucking love sniping grubsI also like to put the bayonet on the hammerburst
>>583300853medic
>>583300853The game is objectiveky easier by several magnitudes when everybody is using the medic class
>>583301056best combo is 3 medics, 1 assaultThe assault is useful for highlighting enemies you can't see, but otherwise yeah the healing fields feel OP. I won't be surprised if they get nerfed.Marksman can feel fun but doesn't really go far for helping the team since 97% of the game's combat happens in close to mid range.
>>583301479I thought the marksman was the one with the highlight ability? I got 20 hours in assault.
>>583302267Yeah I think you're right
I'll be playing Siege a lot in the upcoming week. Add me on Steam if anyone wants to play together. 1168920802 Im struggling with commander difficulty at the moment but that's mostly due to the crappy mutator combinations they keep throwing at me. I hope this game doesn't end up like Starship Troopers where the mutators got so annoying that everyone abandoned the game.
Holy shit, this might be the best game Xbox has put out since the 360 era. Why can't Bethesda, Obsidian, Activision or Halo Studios put out a game as good as this?It literally feels as focused and stylish as a 360 game, just better looking. This is the most fun I've had with an Xbox game in a long time.
>>583303534You might want to check out Space Marine 2. The co-op is awesome but the PvP feels straight out of the early Xbox 360 era with how barebones it is. A recent update even made it so you got everything unlocked in PvP right away and you don't gotta grind to get good weapons anymore.
>>583303742>Space Marine 2I got the first one for free on Steam many years ago and never played it. I always thought I'd check that one out before I dove into its sequel. Looks fun and I might check it out now.Rogue Trader is the only Warhammer game I've played.
>>583303979I actually prefer the first one because of how simple it is. The 2nd one has you doing parries, counters and whatnot but you'll get used to it quickly once you find a class you enjoy.
>>583293043I can fix her.
Stop the slop!
>>583305158Same
They are not playing Halo.
Gaylo times, boys.
Has anyone here hit the weekly coin limit in E-day? When is the reset? I think I've earned 70k+ coins so far since the early access started. That's honestly very generous, I thought it was going to be something scummy like only being able to earn 20k coins or something.
Infinite won
>>583307123Actually I think you also earn coins from challenges so maybe more than half of those are from them. I need to pay more attention next time.
Gears was the real Halo killer all along...
tick tock halobros...
I guess that's it........

I didn't play Gears 5 and I only played 4 a bit when it first launched.I did play the shit out of the E-Day beta.Did 4 and 5 play like this? I find this really fun. I'm talking about PvE, just the way the guns feel and how the Combat flows.

How's E Day?
>>583327139Awesome
>343 Completely annihilated>Halo Recompiled>Gears E-Day>Saba back>GTA VI and OoT on the wayYeah. The world is healing.
>>583327139I was really disappointed in Gears 4I straight up hated Gears 5They cooked with E-Day.The best part about it is how deep every part of the experience is. Like you can completely ignore PvP and the campaign and still sink hours and hours into Siege alone and not get bored
>>583327139>How's E Day?What I will say is that If you're really going to make not 1, not 2, but TWENTY fucking sexually-oriented banners then you should have the balls to put in one for being straight at least.Outside of that I really have nothing negative to say about the game. This probably tops requiem as my goty.
Grow up.
>>583328393There's already a straight banner doe?
>>583327139having lots of fun in horde siege. my only complaint is there are people who don't understand the higher difficulties fuck them over if they dont have the appropriate level. seeing people not even level 10 in commander difficulties is frustrating. i managed to get to level 30 medic and im leveling marksman now
I wonder what Allfather difficulty feels like...
>>583327139You can ignore the culture war nonsense. People are autistically screeching about blink-and-you-miss-it things that take up like 30 seconds of a 12 hour game.Campaign - 8.5 to 8.7 out of 10Acts 1 and 2 are a bit of a slog but it heavily picks up.Lots of random bugs, some game breaking and some not.Audio weirdness.Good story, and leaves it open for more.Lack of enemy variety.Open world is basically Horde Siege/Last of Us 2. Not bad but kind of pointless addition that makes it less replayable.Horde Siege - 7.9 to 8.5 out of 10. Fun but extremely grindy.Every single lobby starts with the enemies feeling way to weak and then after an objective they become annoying bullet sponges.Gets repetitive fairly quickly.Versus - 5 to 6 out of 10It's really atrocious.Mixing screen shooting and shots from the gun feels bad.Terrible hit registration.Lag compensation causing people to kill you instantly from stupid ranges sometimes.Quickplay-only meaning you often have to play lame gimmick modes.Quickplay-only meaning the balancing is completely out of whack placing full squads of no-lifes against low level players.Issues with colour palettes and lights on characters/maps mean everyone turns into brown blobs. You can have an enemy right in front of you and not realize they're an enemy.Footsteps so loud you can practically track every enemy across the whole map.It's basically if you took Gears 1 and tacked on a jump/slide system. For the people that love the clunkiness they'll love it.The game is absolutely gorgeous though. I may play through the campaign one more time and a bit more of Siege but don't plan to stick around very long. The multiplayer is just truly awful.
The mission lengths keep getting mixed up. Whenever I select Siege, it loads Blitz, and vice versa. Not too often but it does happen.
>>583330176Similarly my game can't decide if it wants my teammates to be yellow or blue. It keeps switching in Siege so I am always second guessing which ones are random and which are my squad. It also doesn't save keybinds so every time I launch the game I have to rebind them.
>>583327139>How's E Day?My experience with Gears is very PvE-focused, so I'm going to focus mostly on that. I played A LOT of Horde in Gears 2, 3, and 4. For whatever reason I never picked up 5. Can't tell you why even. Maybe I was just busy at that point. Anyway, I liked 3's the most.This is probably either tied with 3 for me or maybe my new favorite.I really like how it gives you a lot of freedom to play it your way.Want to play big on the objectives and be super team-friendly? Go ahead.Want to just completely ignore your teammates and go help out another team instead? You can do that.What to grab a sniper class and just completely go do your own thing and be a lone marksman looking for random kills? No problem.Then when you add in the difficulty modifiers and challenges, it creates a crazy-deep amount of replayability complimented by a great gameplay loop.So yeah I think this game is really really good. I have a gut feeling this is going to be the game that either kills gamepass or significantly nerfs it because I suspect a lot of people will take interest when they get bored of GTA since it has no mp for like half a year and I think gamepass subs are going to eat into a huge chunk of would-be profit margins. I can see Asha just getting rid of day 1 releases on GPU altogether or delaying them out a month or whatever. They're already removing CoD from it.
>>583327139Great!
>>583267128is that the steel heavier than feather guy?
So what are all these spike traps that sometimes show up on the map? Are they from the previous team that was on your squad? Nobody on my team placed any of these, they just show up ingame.
This bitch is really annoying
*no hace nada*
>>583327139Siege is fantasticCampaign is really good, not quite 10/10 but really goodMP is kind if slop. The sweats hate it and the casuals would rather play Siege anyway.
Glad Kelly is gonna be ok.Glad he's taking care of himself.I still don't want Halo Youtubers having any say on jack shit anymore.
>>583322842>it was le alcoholAhuh.
>>583333218I think the multiplayer has some massive issues that keep casual players and sweats from having fun.Movement nerfs make sweats hate it.No form of balancing makes it an awful experience for casuals against sweats.No form of mode selection means you have to put up with gimmick modes or waste time searching for another mode.Strong rifles have almost no counter, turning matches into a camp fest.Movement audio so loud there is no 'sneaking' unless you literally sit in one spot and don't move.I think they need to either nerf the rifles a little (not make them useless like Gears 5), extend how long smokes stay active, and give players two smokes to start with. Basically anything to help clear sightlines to discourage teams from just sitting in one spot spamming the rifle.
>>583334683I forgot to mention the atrocious hit registration, massive lag compensation, and mix of bullet-from-screen and bullet-from-gun exacerbating the two.
>>583334092I mean it obviously was
>>583333038honestly deserves to be raped.
>>583334683I don't like how close quarters maps are
>>583335019Close quarters but also completely open. Like 70% of each map is wide open. I refuse to believe these maps were properly tested.

>>583374341you're thinking of Escape, not Hivebusters.It was alright.Siege is a better 3rd pillar mode
>>583374475Gears 5 has both no?
Siege length on Infantry is pretty comfy. I've been slowly playing on that, but again, it is slow and progress comes to a halt after level 22. I would do commander difficulty but that's filled with casuals at the moment, I'm talking about niggas below level 5, wasting everyone's time, it's not worth it at the moment unless you got a group of buddies to play.
>>583311080Did you add? Not in a hurry at the moment, I'm heading out to work now. I'll be able to play a lot starting tonight.
>>583374814I am level 12. Do you think the level 10 upgrade is enough to play on the mode?
>>583377451On Infantry difficulty? Yeah that's fine as long as you're sticking together. The biggest hurdle in high difficulties is honestly the mutators that can mess you up real bad.
>>583375665ok that's pretty fucking cool
Horde players, is the Hammerburst just a terrible weapon? I find that even with headshots it just takes absolutely FOREVER to kill even the low ranking enemies even fully upgraded.I have been playing Medic using the HB and Gut-Puncher and the HB just feels like a complete chore to use.
idk ask grok
>>583381390>Horde players, is the Hammerburst just a terrible weapon?No, I use it constantly. Put the blade on it and charge people.It also gets constant ammo because most drones use it.If accuracy is an issue, use the modification that makes it a 2-shot burst.In my experience every weapon in Siege is viable, but that doesn't mean every player will enjoy every weapon equally.
The only good Hammerburst was the Gears 2 one.
Gears 3 hammerbust > all
3babs being 3babs again.
>>583382998It's more that if I have to score headshots and use up the entire magazine anyways why not just use a weapon like the Lancer the does the same thing without needing headshots?
then use the lancer ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄
Gorhook boomers seem to be broken at the moment. It might have been lag but one hit me when my entire body was behind cover.
>>583385641They've been that way for awhile. The gut-punch appears to either have been bugged or stealth nerfed overnight. The flame grenades used to apply a stun but now enemies just flat out ignore the fire damage.

hi
>>583267128reach a kino
Almost finished this. Meanders on way too long.I don't really understand the whole Genemender & village bit other than that the Lifeworkers are autistic and trying to keep human samples at this location.The lord of Admirals working with the Primordial to attack the Forerunners seems like an odd choice since the whole Human-Forerunner war was due to him fighting the flood.I'm not exactly sure what happened to all the other humans that refused the ancient humans offer to pilot the rings and fight the forerunners. Where they consumed by the flood? Just killed?I do, however like the concept that the flood could've been an intentional plan to unite the Galaxy against a common evil and the Forerunners failed it by attacking humanity right after the first "defeat". Does leave thew window open as if there are worse things in the Universe than the Flood & the Precursors were getting their "progeny" ready to fight this unknown.Honestly, I believe this is more bearable in audiobook form than reading via traditional method of page turning. I think it is too boring for that method.
............
>>583394049But it is also not nearly as bad as I have heard it to be. I've heard this is one of; if not the worst Halo books. The only others I could think of are the teenage ones and hunters in the dark.
>>583375665amazing
Any Longshot users playing Campeign, the combat Scope is in this mod chest in act 4.
>>583386414>Hammerburst userWhat is the appeal? It feels like dick to use.
>>583395016what does it do
god i really fucking hate all of you.'cept you RED. you cool whyte boi
>>583395368not him but I love how it feelsThe lancer feels too weak to me and the burst has ammo everywhere
>>583395956It's the normal Gear of war Longshot scope you're familiar with.ADS when aiming and scope when you click in stick.
I'm going to try the hammerburst when I level up medic.
The builds you can come up with are fucking insane. I can't wait to see what sort of loadouts people make. They should let us save them because there's too many options.
Does anybody use breacher here? What's it like?
best way to kill reavers? I fucking hate these flying fags
>>583396940
>>583396940I think the orange spot in their butts is a weak point but I haven't paid attention to that since they're so annoying. You'll know it's a weak spot if your crosshair turns red when you shoot at it. It looks like shooting the riders limits their ranged capabilities and they take longer to use rockets.
>>583397036Awesome.
yap
the amount of stupid fucking ideas I keep hearing by the halo masses for what the activision halo devs should do is starting to annoy me >I want to play a spartan but no master chief ok can i get something that's just master chief like?>I want to get back to that old feel with humanity on the back foot but don't retcon the bungie games, where the main threats to humanity are taken care of and we now have access to an ass load of ex covie and forerunner tech >I don't want it to become COD but wouldn't it be great if we fought human insurrectionists for most of the game? >can i get another odst game set somewhere random in the covie human war, with this random fucking squad in this random battle on this random rock where they all die? just like my favorite game in the series reach. you people are retarded.
>>583400889Who are you quoting?Take your meds, schizo.
can i get another odst game set somewhere random in the covie human war, with this random fucking squad in this random battle on this random rock where they all die? just like my favorite dark n gritty game in the series Halo:Reachâ„¢.
>>583395368I like burst weapons and used it often in the older games. >>583396280It still has its moments but it does feel on the weaker side.>>583396940The rockets seem to be the main threat and those stop once you kill the rider. Honestly I think the most annoying enemy to fight is the balloon. They just take forever to kill since their weak spot is only open for a short amount of time.
Is we getting Jerome's Big Adventure?
>>583401714I wonder if the balloon's eye opens up more often if you kill the baby balloons.
>>583400889The undeniable true Halo cycle.
https://twitter.com/Dr_Abominable/status/1064188122588692487>2) They were going to be riding thornbeasts, herding blind wolves, in bamboo armor that made them look alien. But when the mask came off... HUMAN! This idea was VERY short lived, but we hinted at it in the stone structures on Halo 2. But, that wasn't definitive, either.THIS is the kino Halo needs. Hao 3 should've had fucking badass cavemen riding dinosaurs. The Covenant suck, the sentinels, the flood, they're all garbage. Cavemen should've been the focus of Halo. The best thing Activision could've done is bring badass dinosaur-riding cavemen with bamboo armor and thornbeasts into Halo like Bungie were too pussy to do and 343 were also too pussy to try because the idea was too good for them to ever try.
Forced however.
I just had my worst experience in Horde so far.>Horde Blitz>Infantry difficulty.>I am level 15; all teammates are level 6 or below.>None of them know how to complete objectives. We had to repair the rig and defend it. I had to grab 4 of the pieces and turn them in. The last person only turned theirs in because I told them we were about to fail the mission.>They are all constantly dying in one hit. Deal no damage to the bosses.>Fail the mission once because they couldn't deal enough damage.>Immediately head to the extract.>Team extracts without me due to a bug.A frustrating experience. There needs to be level requirements for the difficulties.
>>583405192>There needs to be level requirements for the difficulties.Absolutely. I'm surprised this shit wasn't implemented.
>>583405192use mic or use your pointer. teach them anon
Having fun with E-day campeign but the only other thing I dislike outside of the open-ended map acts is the music fuckin is not there.It wasn't there in 4 or 5, but it's still not here in E-day. I wish they coulda gotten the other guy but the dudes a movie composer isn't he?
>>583405590There's currently a bug where voice chat simply doesn't work. Your voice won't go through. I don't think most people pay attention to the pointers since they're customizable and get lost within the HUD, but it'll take some time for people to adjust to that.
>>583405784I can't recall a single track from Infinite and can only recall one of the Guardian sections from 5. Nothing from the past 2 Gears games either. What is going on with video game soundtracks these days?
>>583405590I tried but my spoken english is not great.>>583405464I think there also needs to be some indicator of who has the parts and something to make it so players can't grief. Another match I just had wasted 5+ minutes because of the same exact thing.
Starting to notice that there’s a lot of correlation between Bungie era Halo fans and MAGA supporters
>>583408751I'm a lefty and I hate 343i Halo.
>>583408174Yeah just like the blast chargers for the corpser. More often than not, the last one is being carried by a dude dicking around in the rearline running away from a gorehook.
Halo 2 decomp when? Until Ruby's Rebalance, this is the Halo that actually needs a ton of work to fix.
the good halo games get their decomps first
>>583406513I've use a duelsense and despite having a good mic the game defaults to using the fucking duelsense mic like they did in the beta.
>>583400889it's a pretty well known and correct opinion that the fanbase should have zero seats at the table for what to do with Halo.
>>583410898You also use a dualsense? People act like I am crazy for preferring the PS controller!
>>583409439pstencil needs to be the first addition
>>583411279>People act like I am crazy for preferring the PS controller!It' the best Sony pad but the xbox pad is still just better
>>583411403it's all a matter of personal preference.I like the Xpad more as well but calm the fuck down schizo.
It's a great time to be a halo fan.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUoN4SOp2k8

Nah, tits are white coded.
....which none of us are.
I'm white and white coded.
Chinese niggas.
>>583411279Ye, but your mic is always gonna be hot with duelsense so turn it off with the little light under the PS icon. If you gotta speak, speak into the controller.
>>583412147name some, i need a new controller
>>583408751just you desu
Halo has always been for the chuds, thankfully.
Favorite Gearstuber?
>>583414620JuanitoGears117
Minto still hasn't played Gears...
Give her some time. She might even invite her favorite Puerto Rican to play.
>>583274643How to play with the boys?
>finished E-day campeignFinalboss is cool, but we don't end on marcus getting court martialed and we don't get to see that Dom knows Maria is alive.Kinda weak ending. Was fun though. Wish there were less city maps though.
Is they playing Halo?
No
Maybe
>>583416945they is playing gears queer.
MordenReiter/status/2106672886438322262Fun fact: 343 hired a company called Starlight Runner Entertainment to write fanfiction, then mistook this fanfic for the Official Halo Bibleâ„¢. All this time they were ignoring/contradicting Bungie's work without realising.
/hg/
I wouldn't have it any other way.
>/hg/ was allowed to shit up /codg/, /htg/, AND completely destroy /bfg/ to the point that they ceased to exist, all with zero repercussions or intervention from the janniesuhhhh....was there ever an explanation as to why this was allowed?
Fool. They ordered me to do it
>>583427728There's not much to be said. Halo always wins, baby.
>>583427728>/htg/We're on good terms with our sister general.
Hey halofags. Been a while since I was here. How are you guys doing?
>Frierin season 2 has been out for a while nowBro, WHAT? I thought the mage certification test was season 2, that's crazy.Man...between the recomps and mods and 343 finally ded, we are smack dab in the middle of a new Golden Age of Halo. It's a great time to be a Halo fan.
>>583430259>How are you guys doing?We can finally see some light at the end of this tunnel. 343's reign of terror is finally over. One less evil in the world.
IM FUCKING INVINCILBE
>>583430479On one hand it's nice that 343i's rape-purgatory is finally done, but on the other hand I have no optimism for what Activision's mostly done. I'm really just glad that the faggots who raped my favorite series finally got put to the wall for their retardation.
i hope minto plays halo again soon
Limited Cord access for those who want to play siege with the boys.On Saturday Nights Halo also gets played sometimes.https://discord.gg/9BV8JW24p
>>583433962I miss crazy customs
>>583433535Same. Was just thinking this.In general it's fun to watch newbies play Halo for the first time. Vtubers especially have such cute or funny and expressive avatars that make their reaction to encounters extra fun and silly.
AI got that one.
The AI sure loves collecting Mintos! Is it a fan? It doesn't collect anyone else though, only Minto...It must have a huge collection by now!
AI caught that one too.
It sure did!
Minto looks better with long hair.
minto should let me sniff her ass to see if her butthole smells like mints
Gears is a sweatfest, unplayable shit game...
>got stake bolts for the torque bowhorde siege has been on ez mode, im so glad the snipers of this series are still OP
always has been

>>583444880stop doxxing me
Nah, PChad here
Can you still execute people after vaulting over them?
>>583400889Agreed anon.I see a lot of people still arguing over game mechanics too. They fall into two camps.:>take away sprint, clamber and movement equipmentIf people want to play Halo 1 - 3, PLAY THOSE GAMES. You can literally make your own campaign in Forge if you wanted and dial it to play like whatever title, but they would rather sperg out and throw tantrums that we got Halo Infinite instead of Halo 3 part 2, 3 and 4>reasonable people>>583404441This is bait
>>583448231>You can literally make your own campaign in Forge if you wanted and dial it to play like whatever titleWe can do a hell of a lot better than forge too. Oh you want more Halo 3 campaign levels exactly as you envision them? Time to learn Blender my dude because with enough effort you can make whatever the fuck you want.
>>583400889My favourite is seeing people say "*insert former Bungie person here* should be hired by Activision!".Like yeah man, I'm sure some people who wanted out from Halo, were fucked around by MS or Activision (sometimes all 3 depending on who you are talking about) are just aching to go back to all that again.
what's the virus status of project reclaimer?
IP grabber
>>583448013I think
Bungie needs to collaborate heavily with Activision to ensure that the Marathon-Halo connections are back, thus retconning the gay ass Halo EU and making it canon to Marathon
>>583436261Well yeah. It's unreal tournament for mexicans.
>>583455614Marathon is for fags. No thanks
Rise and shine nigga
>>583436261use your brain, it's not hard
Maxed out Assault. Now onto Marksman.
gears won
halo lost this war before it started
...the stinker game ever award.
Lots of unseen concept art https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-gb/news/canon-fodder-heart-and-soell
>>583477165Buy an ad.
Hammerburst is great I have no idea what you scrubs are talking about
>>583477165Isn't Halo Waypoint a 343 invention? This site needs to be dismantled too, or at least decommissioned and archived. Everything about 343 needs to be put into a museum to teach future generations how not to handle a franchise that was handed to you on a silver platter.
>>583478206Missing one.
>>583477165>The battle for Zeta Halo encompasses much of the ring's surface, taking place in vast fields of snow and ice, deep jungles with Banished steel embedded into mighty trees looming over the wetlands, sand-blasted ruins that were once home to the Tudejsa.It sure would've been neat if literally any of this made it into the game instead of existing exclusively in a dying blog.
>>583444880I am enjoying Siege and the campaign. The multiplayer is 'hot dog water' though. It seems like the type of thing that will only appeal to the people who think Gears 1 is the end-all-be-all of the franchise.>>583439174>>583437387It's weird how sometimes it feels good and others it is just awful.>>583411403The Xbox controllers are just too large for my hands.
>The Endless ended before they could even begin.Cinema.
>Halo 3 decompsFinally, a good use for AI besides porn
Halo
Host some games anons. There's sub 100 people playing the reclaimer mod...
Can't be bothered desu
>>583322842what a cuck
>>583483136>There's sub 100 people playing the reclaimer mod...Every fucking "Halo is back!!!!!" PC mod thing ever.
>>583477165>look inside>it all sucksnear the end its clear they were ripping off star wars too>LITERAL coruscant/jedi temple>ewok village>hoth>jedha / tattooine>naboolike come onso fucking lazy
>>583478206>engineers are an endless speciesWait what.
>>583478206Ohohoho I told littluh patchuh that the endless were shrimp like aquatic creatures but that stupiduh littluh bitchuh didn't believuh me Ohohohohohoho suck my balls littluh patchuh hohohohohoho
the shrimp was never funny
>>583478206NGL I don't entirely hate their sea creature vibe. A couple of them I can't figure out what I am even looking at (the white one on the left specifically) though.
Why was the squid bitch so angry at master chief and humanity? Humans aren't forerunners in 343 verse it's not like we where the ones that locked that bitch up.
>>583485707halo is derivative
Pacha status? Can we get a wellness check on liluh pacha?
Broken
>>583490857Because humans like to eat shrimp & seafood .Escharum stays away from that crap because it gives him diarrheaThis was all explained in HALO: EDGE OF DAWN : A MASTER CHIEF STORY
So the endless finally arrived. Now what?Pic unrelated
>>583491641She looks like she laughs at little man let hobbits who jump up and down and stamp their feet while shouting "the endless aren't shrimps!!!"
>>583491641I want to have sex with that BPD whore.
Now what?
>>583491641Escharum threw that btw
How is the gorehook supposed to be used? Because I doubt we're supposed to spam it as fast as it lets us. It looks like sometimes it insta-gibs enemies if you wait between shots.
I guess bro.
>>583478206Activision is 100% going to reuse all of this stuff, not because they want to willingly respect the canon, but because they are cheap bastards that will reuse anything if given the chance.
>>583495128You think Activision is making a sequel? Bitch? It's gonna be a reboot.
>>583495232That doesn't matter. They will end up reusing it.
>>583495232>Implying Microsoft of all companies is going to let AB erase billions in investments.For reference. The only reason they let Gears get semi-retconned often it's because it was, still is, barely an IP outside of its games.
The movement after activating the chainsaw bayonet feels worse than Gears 1 wtf.
I wonder if they are going to shutdown the Halo Waypoint site.
All good things have to come to an End.Except Endless of course.
>BOOM
>>583495639They let 343 erase billions in investments by making shitty fuckign games and ruining the brand for 15 years
Primordial A.K.A the Gravemind before becoming the Gravemind.
>>583496641Yeah, when there was money to spare. Now they are holding every studio at gunpoint. They will not be merciful with Activision either if they fail with their titles. We know they shook a bit after BO7 underperformed. It's obvious but Xbox is going to play extremely safe going forward.
>>583496491AAAAAIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Severan. The last living son of Tartarus.Former Covenant Order of Restoration double-agent within the Banished.Now the temporary leader of the Banished.Also, it was confirmed that the Banished are a confederacy. I am not politically savvy enough to understand what that means.
>>583497116It just means they're different species working together towards a common goal, but they're still independent
CLOISTERThe tangled web of manipulative half-truths woven by the San'Shyuum over the ages has concealed much of their history, even among their own kind.Within Cloister, the gene-forge god machines do their work to reforge the San'Shyuum in the image of their Stoic ancestors. Lithe and hale, bearing renewed strength as a warrior once again, a lone Prelate looks up at the stars through the vigilant-formed quarantine shield around his homeworld and awaits the coming time of reformation and reemergence.
>>583497116That looks so fucking retarded. Why did 343 turn brutes into generic orcs?
>>583497554cargo culting
>>583496648Editors note - the image we previously labeled as the precursor primordial actually turned out to be an image of the aftermath of grizzled warchief escharum's morning toilet visit. Apologies for the confusion
>>583497513If it ain't obvious, these are the "Covenant Spartans" anons mentioned every once in a while. This is part of what the studio was building towards with the return of the Covenant since 2015 and the bonus missions with Harmony talking about enhancement with the Chief since "he was already familiar with it". They also teased people a bit with it with a single item in Halo Infinite. A bundle nobody ever used because it was just a skin and a purple hexagons visor.
WHAT WE MAY BE AGAINThe San'Shyuum were once remarkably sophisticated, boasting technology unique among the species of the galaxy. Contemporary efforts by the Sacred Promissory to forge Prelate warriors are but a shadow of their ancient forms.
Ancient Forms
>>583496896Which is why it will probably fail. Anything semi interesting that can be done with this franchise at this point is going to be shot down by Microsoft execs worried it's not going to click with anyone. They're going to play it so safe it's just going to bore everyone.
>>583498612Their mastery of genetic engineering transformed event plant life and vegetation into unique tools, such as the folasteed mount.
>>583497513>Turning the prophets into super soldiersOk.
THE TRIUMVIRATEXe’tl Yanevi, Harmony. Dovo Nesto, Sympathy. Jom G’e’qth, Amity.Anon's note: It seems like they planned to introduce the Order of Restoration's version of the Hierarchs, the Triumvirate, by having them appear as villains in the bonus missions of every remake. Xe’tl Yanevi, the Prophet of Harmony, appeared in OPERATION: METEORITE.Dovo Nesto, the Prophet of Sympathy, was next for the Halo 2 remake bonus missions.Jom G’e’qth, the Prophet of Amity, a Prelate also, seems like he was to be the last one with the Halo 3 remake bonus missions, maybe he was supposed to be a boss?We will never know for sure.
Fighting prophet spartans maybe allied with endless might have finally given me new aliens to shot. Shame 343 was so incompetent they couldn't get this work.
>>583499282That would have taken decades to unfold going by how much time the ce remake took. Even with them dumping the vast majority of the work in building this new plan for this series into the books. Then the 5 or 6 years it would have taken them to make halo 7. Jesus.
>arrives
Errrr. Maybe one or two.
Nothing e-
>>583495128I wouldn't mind it. Because both Infinite and Edge of Dawn really didn't define too much about the Endless so they pretty much have free reign anyway. Not counting the centerpiece creator thing, there are 9 species in the forefront and 2 slightly hidden in the background there with no predefined gameplay and of the three that remain, 1 only had a boss fight rather than being a normal enemy like the Skimmers or the Engineers.Just throw out the "worse than the Flood" nonsense as just bruised ego of the fuckers surviving the Halo Array.Just a general opinion I have of the Post-Infinite landscape. There's so little known about the aftermath that the rumored Soft Reboot direction (no matter what people cope, a revert to 3 would be a Hard Reboot) is damn near a question fo hat they would be Soft Rebooting.
>>583499282>"Ackerson S-III GRINDSET-alike" Mercy>"Scheming ancient vampire grandpa" Truth.>"Giga Nigga" 'Master Regret' 'pettiest' officer.
>>583322842I'm not autistic enough to know about these kinds of things. Who is this and why should we care?
>>583500458i killed all these little squiggas i came across in odst
>>583501059I think they might reboot the entire series bungie stuff included if they do the early master chief prequel thing. They'll say it won't but if they don't get shit canned after their 1st game and it gets good reception I imagine they'll have the green light to do whatever the fuck they want.
>>583498789I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. At least it's something new.What I don't understand is who thought putting 343 and TC in charge of Halo/Gears was a good idea? Like hiring people that clearly don't care about the universe. It HAS to be someone high at Microsoft/Xbox that was pushing for this because both of them pulled the same stunt where they replaced the enemies people like with robots/weaker copies of the originals.
>>583500458THE FUCKING ENDLESS
>>583501724They just need to stop trying to remake Halo 1 already. Either continue on with Halo 2 or pretend Halo 4+ never happened and start there again.The Coalition did the same thing with Gears 1 by rereleasing the remake multiple times and acting shocked no one on Playstation bought it. Like, of course no one wants to play a remake of a remake that has the same clunky gameplay from 16 years ago. Lipstick on a pig.
>>583501724Even if the game was superb, it is most certainly going to be an XBOX exclusive and divisive beyond belief because it's neither going to follow-up the Halo 6 storyline nor respect the Bungie games. It can be perfect but it will most certainly be DoA because people are just going to avoid it out of what you said, the possibility of getting their precious Bungie or 343i canon erased forever if it does decent. It's not CoD either so Zoomers are not going to jump into it. Quite literally their only way forward is to push through 343i's stupidity and retcon their obtuse bullshit on the fly without looking back at all.
HELM'S DEEPAfter crashing on the ring's surface, the UNSC Infinity was shrouded by advanced Forerunner baffler systems. Over the course of six months, it appears to be becoming part of the ring itself. Whether she will rise again remains unknown, but her scorched and broken hull serves as a haven for surviving human personnel... and a deterrent as the threat of overloading its engines would destroy all the Banished seek to claim.TLDR; The Banished can't attack INFINITY and finish off the humans without Lasky going YOLO instantly and blowing the ship and the ring even worse than the Pillar of Autumn did to Alpha Halo.
>>583501736microsoft is just an awful publisher, they're the stereotypical megacorp that thinks bureaucracy=good and requires 2000 manager approvals for every little decision, even if most of those managers aren't part of xbox. they also push a pajeet contractor workflow that's popular for software development but doesn't work for games. 343 wasn't the only studio affected by this but they got the most exposure.
>>583480102>The Xbox controllers are just too large for my hands.Either woman or manlet either way do you want to jerk me off?
>>583480102Really? To me it seems super CoDified, especially with the headless chicken type sprint replacing the traditional roadie run and the stupid twitch shooter sliding trend. The movement to cover feels like fucking GTA not gears and that drives me up the wall cause GTAs movement/cover is the most awful heavy understeering TPS out there.Also way less map hazards which has always been my favorite thing about Gears. Especially 2. (I really miss Avalanche and the Razorhail maps)Very little invokes classic gears, like theres still the beautiful neo classical aesthetic of the COG. But everything else is...yeah Its a fun game for SP and Co-Op, but MP wise its the worst for me, id take Judgement over this.But definitely not gears 1 vibes. Not when they slimmed everyone down even the fucking Locust. The Grenadier being twinkified and having the same face as every other locust is the saddest thing. No more beefy huge crocodile man.>we want to refresh Gears so we'll overhaul it all!Refresh what? Its been 16 years since 3. And 20 since 2. Gears isnt some yearly release shooter where assets are always reused.
>>583493540wouldnt he just be going home?
If you hate Gears 1 you hate Gears period.
>>583493756>>583493540Its so fucking buggy. Dear lord I hate this fucking >hold this button for way longer than it needs to be and be in a certain positionTurrets are death traps it takes an eternity to get on and get off one and 50% of the time it wont even work, nothing happens at all. This goes for revives too.
I like how it actually takes more strategy than just holding a button down for an easy kill
>>583501724I think that may purely depend on when exactly they set it. That could strongly range from a battle we didn't see in the Human-Covenant War to them remaking Chi Cett IV in game form rather than book form, ant the latter is not really too far off from what Halo Reach did.Yeah, the UNSC canonically wouldn't have shields, but we got the Stamina thing of ODST and it's Activision with COD's bloody screen. They've got ways to depict a lot of earlier war stuff without doing anything worse than Reach did.
>>583478206Honestly, I kind of hope that they don't get rid of the 343 timeline entirely. The Endless are a genuinely interesting concept that I'd like to see more of.
>>583499714I read everything they ever released and it seems like the end goal of this setup that was too ambitious to ever be done by them properly was something like:>Have the Arbiter and co. arrive and beat some ass. feat Janissary bosses. Nothing too substantial.>Halo 2 and 3 references everywhere.>The Covenant, and the Created arrive and destabilize the situation even further. feat Prelate and Executor bosses. Also redesigned Prometheans are here. Blocky.>Deadlock ensues. Space engagements halted. Commanders know they would lead to M.A.D. On-Ring engagements are the only way forward to mess with each other's forces.>Banished get betrayed by the Endless after they get their hands on "Galaxy ending" plot item (Zeta Halo, Didact's gift, something else, etc).>Banished about to collapse due to infighting>Atriox RETVRNS, Banished reunited, gets political, no bullshit.>A meeting is called, happens, between the leadership of every major group present.>Temporary truce enacted.>Everyone tense because the room is filled with VIPs, HVTs and Supersoldiers.>"Endgame" of the arc seems like it was going to be the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios alliance, the Banished, the Covenant and the Created all joining forces for "one final effort" to kill the Marathon-looking asses of the Endless leadership.>Spartans, Janissaries, Prelates and Executors were all going to fight side by side.>Portals-ass looking moment ripped straight from Avengers Endgame.>Endless Keked, Chief does the final blow>Everyone flees Zeta Halo.>Warthog Run 3 ft. Arbiter again.>Fakeout Halo 3 ending situation but the Chief this time did make it to Earth. Ship wasn't sawed in half.>Leaderless Endless and their minions become part of the everyday mess that is the post-war daily life.I don't want to imagine how many games or DLCs it would have taken to go through all of this. It was at least a 2-decade long plan that was never going to see completion even if the studio hadn't been decapitated.
>>583327139It's dogshit and full of shills.
>>583327139Campaign is okay, feels like Gears of War 3-tier of good. Also, they already future-proofed themselves by making the politically charged characters have a million death flags for the sequel or trilogy's last game if they get that far.
>>583505120>Yeah, the UNSC canonically wouldn't have shieldsThey could also just outright say "Shields are integral to the series so we're including them. Get fucked nerds." They refused to tell them this in Gears Judgement and let people complain about the existence of the main gun of the franchise.
>>583506621Realistically, they can go as far back as 2531. That was when the first experimental shield modules were made and tested in Arcadia. The problem is that they already retconned twice when did the Chief get shields for the first time ever in his career as a Spartan. If that's retconned, then the series accidentally reboots because it completely derails multiple future storylines that Bungie and then 343i made.It might work but only if it is a single entry prequel, anything else destroys the story of the Bungie games and also 343i's which would kill the IP instantly since everyone would just leave since there's nothing to argue about anymore.
>>583415794Maybe they're saving that for a dlc expansion.
>>583430576I was born with thick skin.
>>583415794Marcus's court martial happens 10 years after E-Day. He serves only 4 before Dom rescues him after Hoffman pardoned everyone but him. That's why they didn't waste time and started the prequel with Emergence Day so they have plenty of time to use for anything if they feel like they can't tackle Gears 6 or the idea of a reboot starting from Gears of War 1 again for now.
>>583505272there was no way in hell they where ever going to to do a third of that. maybe if they had started at 4 but all of that seems like it was 95 percent going to be book content. imagine if they actually tried to bring into the game though, most of the old bungie fans would have been in their mid 40's to early 50's.
>trying to play the shilled halo 3 mod >joins server>"Engine probe worker failed: exit code 1
>>583507737That's why i am saying that it was too ambitious, it was never going to happen in-game, they were definitely going to bail themselves out of another mess with a book and the studio would have been killed by XBOX right there anyways. Their worst mistake was the direction Halo 4 set up the series for.
>this is going to be the next halomeme webm that becomes reality

We all know that 343 games universally sucked and the books were retarded.However, I'd like to know some of the 343 things (you) think are cool.>grunt goblin>railgun>wasp>plasma casterThat's about it for me.
>>583526824Railgun, saw, firefight with vehicles
>>583506305It's great because despite being a lesbian the fortification act being enacted means mags and major whatsercunt are going to a breeding camp to get GEARED
>>583526824Sticky detonator, seat switching, the keyes terminal, and I guess the new ship designs for that tabletop fleet battle game are the most positive contributions 343 has made for me.
>>583527868Ip grabber, DO NOT CLICK
I…I already clicked it…
And? What happened?
Seat switching is too much convenience for the sake of it. The Warthog is meant to be used by two people. Driving it into battle alone should be as annoying as possible.
>>583528664ball knower
this new concept art made me realize, 5 years after infinite they were just starting work on halo 7.unironically good chance of activision's game coming out sooner.
He came to give his final farewells before we Become Halo of Duty
>>583530998Lieutenant, arrest that shrimp!
>>583530781technically not even really started, it was just in the pitching ideas for it part of the process, they had nothing. also a lot of this art feels like it was from the early stages of infinite development. all the stuff they wanted to put it but axed it for the final product. Who knows if they would have continued with it or killed it off in between games like they did the cortana space Hitler stuff.
>>583532102The latter, 100%. They kept having to go back to the drawing board because everyone hated their lore each game, and all they did made it worse.
Do you think Activision is going to reboot Halo with a Female Masterchief?
i'm a trans catgirl uwu
bankai fuck nigga
>>583530781I feel like they were stuck between "okay let's do Halo 7" and "hmm we are doing a quiet reboot with the remake", and couldn't commit to either thing.
A game where you fight these metroid prime ass bosses in their own unique zones populated by their familiars would have effortlessly been the best game 343 ever made.
>>583538623No it wouldn't. Those things look gay. I felt literally nothing fighting the """harbinger""" in halo infinite.Now stfu bitch
>>583538623For me, it's the smug manta ray.
>>583538623This shit doesn't look like Halo.
>>583538684Not the choice of words I would use but I agree. Basically everything 343+ has made doesn't feel like Halo. It is kind of an uncanny effect where it looks vaguely like Halo but somehow manages to miss the mark.
>>583538859Neither did the off-brand orcs or literal giant bugs added in Halo 2.
The Recruit armor set is the most Halo thing 343i ever did.
>>583539172Fool.
>>583538623I am struggling hard to see these translated into a FPS game enemy. Halo especially, it's always fucking sucked at enemies that can fly.
>>583538623Is this from warframe?
>>583539346Sorry 2fag, your game was the one that wrecked the setting.
>>583539595Halo is not for you anymore, CEfag.
>>583538623Engineers are Endless? lol?
Halo is for the CEchads because they keep rereleasing that game.
Why is the Allfather difficulty not recommended once you hit level 30?
>>583540068No. CEchads don't play new releases of CE, they only play the original CE. Halo is for vtubers because they were too young to play Halo at the time and never got into it, but now a new version is out which is a good starting point to hop and experience it for themselves. Plus their viewers recommend it to them.
Why do people think Halo is "grounded"? Because they have guns that fire bullets instead of magic space laser blasters?
>>583540534>Why do people think Halo is "grounded"?Who?
Allfather, who alt in Haven, hollowed be thy Gamertag.
>>583538859You'd rather another game where you fight Elites, Jackals, Grunts, and Hunters and nothing else?
>>583538623I guess they pulled a keepers from mass effect thing with the engineers. retconed into being created by another species than the one we've been told made them all these years. Or tried too, these floating squids will never be seen again.
>>583541112Yes.
>>583541112erm... i think you're forgetting one...
>>583540534who says that? also i wish the unsc had more space lasers blasters or the very least rail gun based small arms.
>>583541449Carrier Forms!
>>583541112Add Brutes, Engineers, Drones and you have a deal.
>>583541756Not Halo.
>>583541880No deal then.
Fine by me.
The only good Halo games have Drones in them.

That was very fun. It as easier than expected, mutators can fuck you up good if you get a bad combination still. It took me 3 attempts.
I'd be okay if Halo got turned into multiplayer only by now. Let the nerds have their book shit if it brings in money to pay for server costs, axe it if ever becomes non profitable. Do a Halo PvP legacy game with classic gameplay that uses Halo 3 as a base design philosophy with tweaked settings i.e slightly higher damage and movement speed. Remake all the trilogy multiplayer maps for it. Run the game like Counter-Strike with tournaments now that both Halo and MLG are under the Activision roof.Then release another Multiplayer game that's focusing on PvPvE elements. Human- Covenant war setting. Mix Warzone from 5 and Invasion from Reach with elements of Dominion from 4. Essentially Halo's own full fledged version of Battlefront. Also have a separate horde mode that's basically Ultimate Firefight with the option to play as the Covenant surviving/doing missions against the UNSC
>>583546982Lurk moar
>>583547167>want to try allfather>have a lvl 30 medic ready to go>im the only lvl 30 i've seenTC i beg put a level gate on the harder difficulties
>>583547742Yup, on the first time doing allfather I got this guy on my squad and the others were below 15 and other squads didn't even reach 5. It's messy right now.
>>583547742You could always try a LFG tool.I am only level 18 with my medic class but mostly just play the lowest difficulty for fun.
>>583547878I don't think people realize how important the levels actually are. I think they still believe it's like the older Gears where you gain more XP and can survive a few rounds on the hardest difficulty at the start.
>>583547916I'm honestly going to start playing on lower difficulties to help new players get their footing.
>>583547878>>583547916I'm gonna give the game the benefit of doubt because its coming out for the normies tomorrow (which will make the problem worse) and that TC will hotfix a gatekeeping method
Halo is being played
My prediction is that the PVP multiplayer is going to be mostly dead by the end of the year unless they rework it a massive amount.Horde Siege will probably also be similar unless they release a lot more content for it.

>>583538623They remind me of the assortment of freaks the Pfhor fielded in Marathon.Just very strange looking dudes.
>>583501724All they need to do is do a post-Halo 3 spinoff about ONI using a Spartan 3 or ODST to go do espionage on Covenant remnants that are trying to band together to form a new group. You could have them go fight a group like Jul M'dama's NeoCovenant or the Banished. The war is over but conflict still exists. Since the covies are leaderless you could have multiple covie factions of Brutes/Grunts/Jackals all vying for power and an ONI spook causing mayhem and assissnating potential leaders.
You mean Spartan Ops?
this thread doesnt have memes anymorehow soulless

>>583553935Hey that's me!
>>583540578>>583541482A bunch of reactions in other places to some of the concept art being more or less "wtf is this, this doesn't fit halo is grounded".
It should be, Coalition got the memo and E-day is military as fuck. Halo just loses it's military setting more with each installment. The show showed the kind of shit 343 want, where Chief just goes AWOL at will. That is completely antithetical to Halo, Chief is a willing cog in the machine and knows his place.No doubt 343 were going to position Chief as a one man superhero who dun need no unsc on timey wimey gay adventures with paco as they singlehandly take the memeless apart.Glad it's dead.
>>583555694Yes why get mad about what the actually did when you can make up shit and get mad about that too.
Rape is Halo?
>Took Halo from 343i and gave it to a group that hasn’t been a proven failure (yet) since its inception>>>basically what’s needed to happen since the shitshow that was Halo 4I’m loving this pajeet more and more every day.
343 lost this war years ago. Your devs are BROKEN, SCATTERED, HUNTED, DEFEATED... by jeet. I wish I could tell you it was difficult... but it wasn't. We are one step ahead, ALWAYS. Halo 7 is already under development, soon, Halo BR as well. Activision and Grok share the same goal. We fight TOGETHER to honor the WILL of ASHAtriox.

>>583568616>tfw played numerous fps including arena shooters, activision games and more where autos/burst/semi are far better balanced than the typical halo game It's going to be hilarious seeing halo players realize why their balance was mocked by competitive players in other fps for decades.
>>583569782I've hated Halo's balance for as long as I started to get into game design. The Spiker for instance.It looks incredible. Why is it literally useless?For all it's many, many sins, being able to just use the AR, SMG and Spiker in the remake and not feel "oh man I've fucked up here since this is all I'm left with" was nice.
>people are already complaining about having nothing to grind for in E-DayGod forbid they play the game for fun instead of clocking into their digital factory shift. Playing for fun isn't enough, they want to make it a second job.

I must be playing a different game because I get kills with the AR, melee, needler, shotgun, and maulers all the time.Yeah they aren't as meta-dominant as the BR, but I like it that way. Having the viability be ultra spread out would be boring.

It's hilarious watching everyone hate Gears PvP and then the diehard sweats claim it needs to be even more alienating
>>583583886PvE was always the heart and soul of Gears.PvP from the very beginning was of the same caliber as gen 6 and earlier mp modes where they were just kind of expected to be there as a fun thing to play on your couch.
Realistically, how well would traditional 2552-era UNSC munitions fare against the locust horde? I.e., how well would the ma5c do against drones, the spartan laser against brumaks, etc
>>583584049trvke me harder daddy
>>583584049
>>583584050Do we have numbers on what shit like the Lancer actually fire? Just skimmed the wiki and didn't find anything on the ammunition.
>>583584050the use of space fleets would make it more of a stalemate ala James Cameron's Avatar but the actual planetary war skews Locust very heavily.
>>583584050Drones tank bullets unlike anything in even the covenant do without shields
The Gears 4 lore was so dumb lolJuvies just instantly transform into Drones when they jump in a nest.
>>583583886It's as easy as it's ever been, the weapons don't even swap between rounds anymore. I don't think any map even has a torque bow.
Is we playing E-Day?
>>583584523We don't, but a reasonable guess is 7.62
>>583584050The UNSC could orbital strike the Locusts as much as it wants, but it could never fully control Sera.
>>583584550>>583585378this
>>583585378What about the covenant? How long would it take them to subjugate the locust, if they even could?
No new content until December. Will E-day last that long?
>>583585808See what they did to the Hunters.Orbital bombardment and threaten to glass the planet until the Locusts surrender. The Locust could just hide in their caves, but evaporating the oceans (which would take years) would eventually destroy their way of life.Considering Sera has no Forerunner artifacts, the Covenant wouldn't really care either way.
>>583586329>The Locust could just hide in their caves, but evaporating the oceans (which would take years) would eventually destroy their way of life.Would it though? The Hollows are full of water and that's what they drink.

im trans and 2 is my favorite btw
>>583588045I feel like it fell short despite being set in E-day they really dont make good use of it. The first Act is fucking amazing from start to end but then Act 2 starts strong and by the end of it the COG basically already fucking loses. Whats the point of making a game set in E-day if your still on the backfoot instead of an upfront war. Seriously we see an entire COG naval group and it gets destroyed in about 5 minutes without doing fucking anything because theyre just casually docked in port instead of providing fire support.Colonal Trench is also a stupid character who was added just to add retarded drama, hes fighting an enemy that pops up out of the ground and clusters 50% of his entire army for the defence of the city on an airfield strip and then in Act 3 when they are evacuating civilians he shoots the tires of a truck and uses the civilians as bait to try and explode the bridge to cut off the locust advance but he sets the detonator past the fucking civilians hes using as bait and also why the hell would he need bait for his retarded demo plan, to what kill like 10 more locust infantry? Destroying the bridge is already an advantage enough.
