It was never good, zoomers
fuck off
>>12158713Yeah you need to fuck off
Can we at least have a standard definition of zoomer?
>>12158725People who like 00s slop
You already got btfo on /v/keep your impotent rage over there
>>12158734Of course /v/tards defend Gaylo
>>12158710Based, I don't know why people ever give a fuck about Halo, looks like any other generic fps
>>12158725people younger than me that make me upset
>>12158710Halo 2 though...
>>12158710Microsoft marketing FUCK OFF. I saw your constant threads on /v/ and even a few on /tv/. Halo 1 with chimera, map fixes and DSOAL is perfectly fine and I refuse to play anything from a company that forces hitmarkers because they can't make responsive kill animations and cues worth a damn. Fuck you, fuck 343. Go back to starting 1000 win 11 threads you stupid fucks.
"My parents bought me the wrong console and I had to cope by pretending the exclusive was good when I got bullied for it at school"It's the Goldeneye of the 2000s.
Total Halo and Half Life fag Death
>>12158710>>12158682>>12158652Alf spam.
>>12158710It helps 1st-gen XFags feel like they had a game that made it worth buying the console for.
>>12158847You got btfo in the HL2 thread
I'm nearly 40. It was always good. PC only people shat on it sometimes, but even most of them had fun with it. Most people loved it.
>>12158878Nope, it and HL2 were hated by real gamers.We don't like them faggot.
>>12158807CE's assets were actually designed with static baked lighting in mind. It's visually cohesive. That's why it has aged significantly better.Halo 2 was originally going to use a Doom 3 esque lighting system that was fully dynamic, and featured inky stencil shadows. They had to drop it midway through development, and fall back to an updated version of CE's renderer. They didn't redo the assets, so the final game just looks really flat.The other issue with Halo 2 is that the normal maps look bad because they're not authored properly. The correct workflow is to build a very high poly model that's used to create a detailed normal map. Bungie just painted them with an image editor, which creates highly sub-standard results. Just look at the difference between Halo 2 and Doom 3 or Riddick, which both used the correct method.
>>12158807It's better in terms of Gameplay but holy shit the story is utter garbage, if it wasn't for the Arbiter's character arc the whole campagin's narrative would be completly worthless.
>>12158710Halo is good. I'm tired of faggots acting like it's bad just because it doesn't play like Quake.
No one can ever articulate what they like about these games or this universe.
>>12158883>real gaymers>>12158946They're fun.
>>12158946Really? People explain all the time what they like about the game.>NarrativeThe game has great presentation and a cool premise. It may not be original and there may be more plot holes than a Netflix series but the cinematics and voice acting carry it and give them a lot of charm>GraphicsThe look of the games are cool. The aliens are pretty unique, the weapons are all well designed and have iconic looks that immediately describe their function. The vistas are beautiful and have aged beautifully all things considered>GameplayThe Character designs telegraph their play style, the AI has a surprisingly amount of depth, and the unique weapo loadouts provide unique challenges during engagements. The limited weapon holsters actually encourages players to try different weapon combinations and adapt to fire fights accordingly. Vehicles handle surprisingly well and are satisfying to use. The level layouts are for the most part well designed depsite a lot of back tracking and reused assets.>Music/sound designIt's just fucking great.
shitting on halo requires me to dismiss basically every 3d console game that exists outside of mario 64 and devil may cry. I just can't say that all those games are shit, enjoyed too many of them.
>>12158710The thing is, I was born in 84, Halo dropped my Jr. year of high school, in 2001. Am confused about the zoomer connection. I guess logic doesn't matter in the face low hanging fruit bait. 2/10 for reply, try hard.
>/vr/ likes halo and half life nowIt's over
>>12159017>it's over fegsSeriously though, both franchises are old, and are easily retro. Think of now from their launch. Now think of 1980 to 2000. Only twenty years, but definitely a life time of difference. Anything from 1980 in 2000 was retro, easy. I'm confused as to why it's now >over and the implication that all of /vr/ feels the exact same way you do.
>>12159017Always did newfag. Always did.
>>12159047You weren't in the hl2 thread
>>12158710Personally I think Halo is one of the greatest games ever made. When most people hear the term "FPS" they think of Halo. Many hours were spent enjoying this game with friends. Master Chief is cool. I would give 11/10 if I could.
>>12159017>/vr/ actually likes good games nowI know I'm shocked.
mods are neegers
>>12159087Get better taste
>>12159130Agree liking Halo and HL2 should be a bannable offense
>>12159139Based and redpilled.
>>12159139k but HL is >goldsrcHL2>source enginegoldsrc is a heavily modified quakeworld engine. the lines have been skewed, here.
>>12159157They are terrible and hated by retro gamers
>>12159167Well I am 41 and grew up on the NES. I love the original HL and it's mods>Counter-Strike 1.6 >Team Fortress>Deathmatch Classic>Blue Shift>Opposing ForceI never did care for Halo or HL2. Even though, I think both are retro now. All I'm saying is that the original half-life is powered by an engine that is highly regarded by old fags aka>Boomer ShootersI was never into Halo, so I'll piss off there.
>>12159172The retarded fans should know they are not welcomed here
>>12159175This is so open ended that I'll deduce you're just shit posting for the lulz, as your opinion is subjective, and a distinction should be drawn between your opinion and the entirety of /vr/
>>12159139you'd be starved for attention if you couldn't post about them anymore
>>12159186See>>12159056
>>12159194Not same Anon but doesn't matter. HL is a different game then HL2.>1998 vs 2006
>>12159198They are movie games.They are not boomer ludo like doom or quake.
>>12159202Sure. But the original HL engine >goldsrcis built on Quakes same engine. ID opened the door to Valve. It's Well documented. They collaborated heavily.
>>12159202also, movie games? Halo, and Half-life? wat?
Is this another bot engagement thread?
>>12158946It's distilled 1980s scifi tropes with shooty bang bangs
>>12159209I sure hope not, but I'm starting to think that. Anon just said Halo and Half-Life are predicated upon movies.>whathardmode.png
>>12159210>shooty bang bangs10/10
>>12159209the entire catalogue is like that
They are not 4chan approved.
>>12159215Not all but a lot. I'm coming to the same conclusion. Wankers
>>12159217NuMoot, that you? Asking for a friend.
>>12159004No one commenting on Halo is saying it's playable, they're saying it's superior to everything else. You can rate the whole CE experience relative to other online games with acknowledgement from peers in the equation. Halo was mostly popular because there was simply no competition in online social gamespace at the time. Otherwise it's little more than the bare minimum for what is acceptable from a shooter.

>>12158710Hey man, uhhh. I just, like, have a questionnnn??? Uhh, how can you, like, tell me what, y'know, I think is good? Right? You feel me?
>>12159202Got to bed Carmack.
>>12159246>gen x here Prove it, sing a nirvana song
honestly, I made the mistake of playing the Halo series right after Half Life 1/2 recently and I can't help but see why pc gamers kinda turned their nose up to this series. It isn't bad by any means, but it's a fairly basic shooter and there are aspects of it that are pretty bad (companion ai and the flood on harder difficulties, especially towards the end of 3). At it's core it's a horde shooter, but a fairly competent one with a very cool atmosphere and character designs. The enemies are also particularly fun to shoot, but it doesn't offer much more than that and some of what it does offer can be pretty bad (some of the vehicles in later entries in particular).I'd say 1 and 2 are 7.5's and 3 is a solid 8. It's a good series, but it's not some legendary perfect trilogy.
>>12159352I will never understand people who glaze H3, the game didn't even have elites, the most fun and iconic enemies.
>>12159391It was just the most fun to play for me personally. Felt like the balancing on Legendary was a bit more balanced than previous games outside of one miserable vehicle level and two even more miserable flood endings toward the end. Felt like the game where all the ideas from the previous 2 sort of came together.
>>12159415>endingslevels, sorry, been a bit of a day
>>12158710Yeah because all the 10/10 reviews the game got in 2001 were written by infants born that same year.
>>12159246low quality post >gen x on 4chan>millennial tendies18+
about to install itmish le wuck
>>12159457fail
>>12159617>missing the pointClearly went over your head, it's ok, kiddo. Next time.
>>12159615shitsux, installing the remake instead
>>12158894I wouldn't say the story was that strong in the first one either. It felt very much just a pretty generic "space marine hero saves space with guns and explosions" kinda story.
>>12158710Unironically had more fun playing Area 51 than this
>>12159748It was pretty good actually
