A week to 2 months.... fuuuuuuuck but I want it NAO GOD DAMMIT

>getting hyped for halo

Microsoft have a thing for the MCC at SXSW this weekend, I’d guess that they’ll tell us something then.

still fuckin mad steam babies are getting hyped for literally babies first fps. back a few months ago we would laugh you off this board.

Proofs?

I'm 30 but I was on the arena shooter game during the early 00's. Never could get into the gameplay, the concept, the story. It's 2019 and nothing has changed. Still see it as this babby tier shit. But at least I can be objective about the types of people who bought that shit

>SEETHING epic chinks

I'll finally get to play Halo since I refuse to buy a shit-box

>almost cried
it sounds like you are deeply riddled with mental illness

you shouldn't start conversations

Imagine they stagger out all 5 releases over 3 years, i'll be mad

will this be games anywhere or how it's called so i can play my xbox version on pc?

I'm interested in seeing what the price is, cause the idea of only getting reach at launch isn't one that i'm keen on, especially since the game will be dead before h1 comes out unless they plan on dropping a new game every month or something to keep people playing.

I want the opposite of that, I do not trust 343 to depict him well at all.

I'm so fuckin' hyped to see some TAS videos on Halo for once in my life.

And maybe some L4D2 level mods as the cherry on top

When they did the delay to announce "FOR PC" i had a panic attack and passed out, at least my NEETbux paid for my med fees

I don't think so, at least not for now. They're staggering the releases for the all the games on PC, starting with Reach. Might become play anywhere once all the games are together.

I was never able to figure out what map this was

ok thank you

>Halo: Recon
What's that?

The game has been broken on XBOX since release. Now PC fags can learn how shit 343 is.

Halo: Recon was the working title for Halo ODST during development.

Original name of H3: ODST.

God, I can't wait for classic and MCC to his the public. Then everyone will finally realize (or rather, anyone with sense will remember) that these games were so bad that they were meme tier and only ever got popular because literal 12 year olds with bad taste loved it because it was the first game they ever played

I only played Halo 1, never beat it. I started Halo 2 when I got my Vista PC, heavily disliked it. That was the last time I ever had anything to do with Halo, so I guess i'll try to catch up with this shitbox series when it comes out.

Thank you so much, user. Have a cool screenshot I made myself.

H2V was a shit port but Project Cartographer fixed it and is better than the MCC.

Reach release either this Sunday or we are about to start "testing" where you can buy it. Almost like early access. Screen cap this.

halo haters will end up getting this guaranteed

will all the games have online multiplayer? I just want capture the flag in blood gulch from halo 1 with people

So, anons, I want your opinions here, especially if you play Custom Edition, H2V/Cartographer, or El Dewrito a lot: I'm worried about weapon balance for MCC on PC.

For example, Bloom on the DMR in Reach was obviously problematic. Rather then making it so that you were encouraged to pace shots, thereby rewaring patient, accurate fire, the high amount of bullet magentiusm meant that spamming shots as fast as possible tended to be more effective. However, the solution the TU did, just making bloom lesser, wasn't a good solution: It effectively buffed the DMR (and Magnum, IIRC) by making them less inaccurate at medium and long range, which made weapons like the Focus rifle worse in comparsion, as well as the AR, which in reach is less an up close CQC spray weapon and more a close-mid range precison automatic

To make matters worse, on PC, when using a mouse, precision weapons are going to be even better since people will be able to instantly snap and track targets, unlike on console, so the DMR, magnum, etc are going to be even better, and even before the TU the DMR was still the best gun in the game, let alone after, let alone once people are using mice. We really, REALLY will need a buff for the focus rifle and AR, and maybe a fire rate reduction on the DMR in order to prevent Reach from being as bad as Halo 2 was with the BR being the only gun worth using, and on that note, perhaps adjustiments for the other games as well: On PC, players can be precise, so there's really no reason to have this stupid amount of random spread on automatics, we can make them have low spread and no bullet magnetism so they actually reward accuracy and can hit shit past 5 feet.

Am I wrong? Thoughts, opinions, etc appreciated.

The precursors were mentioned in the Halo 3 bestiary

On the other hand I have a question regarding MCC on X1. We want to play 4-players coop, but we only have 2 xboxes. Can we do the mixed coop, where there are 2 players per console, but the consoles are connected and running the 4 players coop via LAN?

genuinely had a laugh at the pic mate, cheers for that

Yes

i dont think the later halo games allow split screen...could be wrong tho. Google it

will you be able to link your gamertag/have access to all your waypoint shit?

Googled it and it's good to go up to 4th one, which is fine for me.

Will be nice to actually finish the Reach campaign this time but with framerate higher than 25 and possibly no motion blur, also b cool to play ODST for the first time

Epic won't give us another UT, that would be on par with getting TF3. I would download the chink botnet in an instant if they did though.

There's UT4, just the development stopped coz Fortnite

mark vee helmet!!

Catch me on guardian 1v1 pussies. MLG V5 ONLY

Sunday is St. Patricks Day. Master Chief is green. Therefore Halo MCC will come out sunday.

If it doesn't I kill myself.

Cautiously optimistic, I'm still concerned about the netcode for firefight and co-op because it is not the same for PvP. I remember in those modes it delayed your input to compensate for latency.

What game will have the most players for mp? Thats the real question

i play feista only hobre...
AY AY AY AY AY AY

Sounds like they haven't even began working on it

It's being rolled out one by one starting with Reach, so I'd say whichever is the most recently released at that given time will be the most popular

I teared up a little, but I didn't cry. I'm going to save my tears for the ending of Halo 3, and the ending of Reach.

Already have it in xbone and free online from a friend. Its ok but dont expect anything but Halo 3 multi and thats really it. Reach to i suppose.

If it were that close, I think we would have had some footage by now.

That was a blast in Team Doubles.

>reach
>not odst
ODST was such a comfy game desu. Why can't we have a game set in the halo universe like warframe but done right so they can shit on anthem but not as a spartan. Even the division 2 seems better than anthem at this point

>reach not odst
Why would they port ODST when its already in the MCC?

The story got more convoluted, trying to humanize the Covenant and turn the Elites into characters the player is meant to feel sympathy for. The game is no longer about exploring and trying to escape a mysterious and foreign world, rather it becomes a space opera about trying to defend Earth(with a detour to a Halo around the halfway point of each game).
As for gameplay, it just all got dumbed down. Health regenerates along with shields, weapons all became homogenized, reserve ammo was cut down to a fraction of what it was in the first game, and levels are far less open.

last I read, a long while ago, odst was said to be skipped, but apparently I'm wrong on that. that's comfy as fuck

This is my main worry about this PC port. All the games have to be tweaked to suite kb&m.
One thing that could help is reducing the floaty movement. Faster movement speed, more responsive strafing and heavier gravity to make jumping less floaty.
Halo has immense potential on PC, but with 343i's track record I'm worried.

Here's hoping they surprise everyone by releasing it after the event at sunday. AT the very least more info will be coming there.

Fortnite already copied one of the best aspects of Apex, and has a mass ad campaign via all the streamers they purchased. It won't die anytime soon so we won't get a proper non-beta UT. I NEED Onslaught again.

Halo is the most overrated franchise in gaming. Boring linear fps with repetitive gameplay. So with that said no I'm not super hyped but you do you.

>contextualise our universe
let’s make a bunch of convoluted novels that are now basically required reading for anyone who wants to actually keep up. Introduce a bunch of dumb lore, keep pushing Spartan 4s are sick cunts when they are nothing but glorified ODST, and make the worst character in the franchise the face of the Power Rangers 4s, kill Halo 4s antagonist in a comic for realsies this time, and for some reason kill Rookie and have his mate join his killers?

343 lore is unneededly complicated and bad. Bungie lore enriched and deepened the narrative of the games.
The only good lore 343 introduced was Hunt the Truth which elaborated upon the morally grey bordering on black operations of ONI (Halo’s CIA simply put) which ended up being completely irrelevant to Halo 5 and the franchise going forward due to Infinite being a ‘spiritual reboot’

>most overrated franchise
but halo isn't fifa

It was skipped. They added ODST to make up for the MCC being so broken.

Reducing/removing bloom didn't really affect the weapon balance to a great deal. It did make BTB maps more difficult to run around in like a headless chicken, but the AR was already never beating out a DMR user at any range.
Fuck nerfs. Reach is already too slow as-is.

Attached: reach_13180967_Full.jpg (1920x1080, 212K)

No we dont have you ever played Halo Online with actual good players? Costa for an example is a controller ex-halo 3 mlg player and he beats m+kb players all the time in private lobbies. I swear most people who think the controller vs m+kb argument havent REALLY played pc halo. The cqc combat is pretty much the same the only aiming youre doing is 1 body shot two headshot its that easy. For reach i get the guys point he's right but in halo ce the pistol and sniper was dominant and controller players still did pretty well vs m+kb its all a preference in halo compared to games like CoD or counter strike

Attached: image.jpg (503x494, 129K)

Don’t listen to this guy, Halo 2 has the best writing in the series. Bungie lore is rock solid through out it’s only when 343 takes over (Halo 4 onwards) is when the narrative gets bad.

>all these anons saying halo is back I'm so hyped

gfwl died a long time ago, and halo2 was a shit tier port.

we did attempt to play it.

Also the charm was being creative with the tools we got.

I'd like modding in the same way we had halo custom edition maps and shit.
Community made maps of custom edition are some of the most fun i've ever had

wait its on steam? how the fuck did that happen?

No, I replied to the right person. In these modern times, people are much less likely to complain about the lack of mod tools. The game also being on the Windows store gives me little hope it will be open for modding.

Are they gonna patch the game? Like take bloom out and make the DMR actually accurate

Nah COD is babys first FPS, Halo is good.

Halo 5 sucks though

Halo has a lot of lore, But 343 kinda messed up the story and lore. Like Halo 4 and 5 are just one massive plot hole, Like you defeat the Covenant in Halo 3 then in Halo 4 they are back like wtf. Not to mention chiefs armor changed while he was in Cryo

Yea Console kinda sucks but Halo is great

I actually have Anxiety so oof, Ive waited for Halo MCC on PC for a while and Reach on PC but i never thought Reach would be on steam and i never though MCC would be on steam, I rarely ever get that happy where i cry tears of joy

No idea, MCC is gonna be on steam

I dont like 343, Like Halo infinite took one step forward and three steps back. Adaptive story and RPG elements? along with battle royale? wtf 343

I started with Reach when I was 10 or 11 then went back and played the original trilogy very recently. They've aged amazingly and I say this without nostalgia blinders on. I'm certainly nostalgic for Reach but I have no reason to hold bias towards the original trilogy.

They already did in the console version, but it was halfassed and only for some gametypes.

maybe Microsoft wants to make money? maybe they understand nobody is willing to use the Microsoft game store?

or valve wants to show dominance over epic.

Friendly reminder that 343 has made Master Chief a Forerunner rapebaby and it is going to be revealed in Halo Infinite that the Didact is actually Chief's "father". Confirmed when Chief meets the Warden in Halo 5.

So how are all of you boys making the Reach Spartans? It's not on Waypoint. I haven't done anything related to Halo since like 2012 so clue me in?

Reach was the worst one (never played 4). Had a kickass campaign but the MP had a wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle feeling to it.

3babbies greatly outnumber the Mexicans playing Custom Edition.

sadly not really, it’s 343’s move to make chief more of a ‘chosen one’. It’s really dumb.

Check the librarian scene in halo 4 again.

Nice and simple

Attached: playermodel.ashx.png (320x704, 203K)

they've got 2 teams working on the ports so I could see them releasing all of them by early next year

Reminder
>This will not have PERSISTENT dedicated servers like Halo CE
>This will not have mod support like Halo CE did (Forge is nice but hardly malleable)
>This will only have matchmaking, lobbies and a lobby browser
I doubt they'll even do something as simple as increase the entity limit in forge too seeing as we won't be running it on toasters like the x360 and xbone are. I wouldn't expect anything other than the bare minimum from Phil.

The ODST armor, specifically the helmet, is probably my favorite space armor in all of fiction. It just looks so...plausible.

It's in the books. Warden says that Cortana "knows Chief's forgotten name" which is the Iso-Didact or "Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting" from the books. He's the main protagonist who fights the Ur-Didact (and is also sort of his son)

Too bad it doesn't look like MCC let's you mix and match armor in any of the games.

I'm not worried about PC players beating xbox players, i'm worried about using a mouse changing weapon balance as a result of the higher precision making precision weapons easier to use.

eh, base reach you could kill shitters with the AR at a distance, you pepper them to knock them out of zoom as you approach, and then finish them off as melee. After the TU that wasn't possible.

As a lorefag, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Both 4 and 5 explain the concepts they introduce far more then the Bungie games did: The Didact, Requim and Librarian have their backstories summerized in decent detail in the terminals, the promethains are explained in both the terminals and spartan ops, the composer is explained in the campaign and then in more depth in spartan ops, etc.
Compare that to CE where you are just expected to figure out who the hell keyes and cortana are as you go, and are just supposed to get the covenant are bad guys, and figure out who keyes, lord hood, the prophets, tartarus etc in 2, and Reach doesn't fucking explain Halsey or Noble team at all. and 5's issues are the fact that their writing sucks, not that they are EU depedent.

Also, while 343 can't write game plots to save their life, they are actually FAR better then bungie at tying together plot points together: A lot of the shit currently going on in the books or 5 has been forshadowed and built up for years now, wheras bungie made shit up as they went. The 343 novels are, also, higher quality ohjn averahe then bungie's.

THAT ALL BEING SAID, 343 sucks fucking ass at moving the state of the universe foward in a way that's not just constant escalation with new galactic threats. The fact the UNSC has recovered, and fought a reformed major covenant faction, the promethans, the banished, and now Cortana's created in less then 10 years is fucking retarded

one can hope.

the fact that theyre going back to the old artstyle is good sign.

343 said a Human at Chief's level, not Chief specifically on the part of him meeting the Librarian so it could have been anyone, Chief's just lucky.

I want a source, a page, and an image stating this.

You completely misunderstood that cutscene. He's not a chosen one at all.

Why do so many Halo fans hate Halo 4 and the Forerunner trilogy? What is wrong with it exactly?

You can kill shitters with a Plasma Repeater if you tried hard enough.

I do want this but im worried they will fuck up some way it just sounds too good to be true I just want to play again

That only made the weapon balance worse because then the DMR shat on every other gun in the game

also, funny how nobody bitches about the BR in 3 2when it has random spread too, and even worse, it wasn't displ;ayed in your reticule and you couldn't lessen it with shotpacing

I thought Halo 4 had a decent campaign but the multiplayer was shit and too much like Reach and COD. I had no issue with the Forerunner Saga, I liked the books.

i hope gears at least, that be a ton of fun

I like them for what they are. They just fucked up the lore with plenty of bullshit that's peak retardation that was completely unnecessary to explain

>expecting microsoft to actually not try to suck all the money out of your wallet whenever the chance

I'm the same age and I only got in the series 4 years ago. The sandbox-like approach to the campaign in those games is always fun to me and it's even better cooping it with a friend. Can't really speak for the multiplayer since it's dead so I'm not going to bother with that.

They might add Halo 5 to MCC after it becomes legacy. Halo Wars 2 is pretty likely since HW1 is already on steam.

is odst in this shit

This, I say this and get called a 343 shill here for some reason. It's not like I'm saying they're better than Halo CE-3 because they're nowhere near that.

When I last played Halo, I remember they let you play as a Spartan or an Elite online. Did they change that to just playing as Spartans?

yes, it is truly going to be a complete mainline collection minus 5

Fuck dude, I read the books like 4 years ago. It's the Forerunner trilogy, to the best of my knowledge the Librarian and the Iso-Didact team up to try and take out the Ur-Didact (the guy you fight in halo 4). The Didact went around and Devolved the humans for being pricks and so the Librarian and maybe Bornstellar team up to lock him in that sphere. Then Bornstellar decides to go on a suicide mission to kill a bunch of flood or something and set off a halo. But before this happens the Librarian is like "Yo dude, give me your gene seed before you go and I'll use it to combat the Didact when he wakes up and I'll stay behind and regrow humanity." And it's pretty much 100% inferred that chief has a lot of Bornstellar admixture (which also means he's part didact)

I can see them both coming after Halo 4 probably as separate games.

as dlc for the original yeah

This is a very thrown together summary

>making claims when no real info has been put out

>too retarded to realize the modding potential, which would overwrite all these issues should they remain

You can play as either a Spartan or Elite in Halo 2 and 3. In Reach you can play as an Elite in the invasion gametype.

>having the option to not buy Halo 4 (or whichever game you don't want)

>this is somehow bad

For one thing, the books never really imply that Chief is the IsoDidact, the other problem with your theory is that it's hinted that the IsoDidact may still be alive, The Librarian did plant a genesong in humanity but I doubt it was the IsoDidact.

>retard says something retarded in steam forums

It was expanded on but I forgot. It wasn't that important to say the least

missed opportunity, i guess

THe entire connection between forerunners and humans was completely up in the air and each person at bungie had their own headcanon, for starters

the flood itself was a mid-late addition to CE, and started out as just a neat gameplay idea, they didn't have any of the lore in mind yet

etc

I'll defend the forerunner triology to my fucking death. They are fantastically written classic sci-fi and cosmic horror novels. Their issue is just that Greg bear is a fucking wizard, and hearing anything he does outside of the context he writes them sounds retarded as fuck, and only he can make them work in his own writing

Mendicant Bias was split into three pieces, two of his pieces were buried under the sands of the Ark, the other piece was on the Prophets world in the Forerunner ship Truth used and became the foundation of the Covenant, Mendicant's Core is on Zeta Halo (Halo ring from Halo Infinite). Mendicant could play a big part in Halo Infinite due to Chief and in Halo Wars 3 due to 343 Guilty Sparks.

ODST wasn't initially in the collection. After a couple of initial patches they added it and gave it to everybody who bought the dumpster fire at launch. However, it still doesn't have firefight for some reason. I hope they add that in soon.

>Both 4 and 5 explain the concepts they introduce far more then the Bungie games did: The Didact, Requim and Librarian have their backstories summerized in decent detail in the terminals, the promethains are explained in both the terminals and spartan ops, the composer is explained in the campaign and then in more depth in spartan ops, etc.

People dont hate all the NuHalo lore because it isn't represented clearly in the Campaign, they hate it because it retconns and contradicts the lore of the the campaigns from CE-Reach. No matter what you Extended Universe shitters say, it is the games that decide what is canon, not some shitty tack-on books or comics.

From CE to Halo 3 we are told multiple times that HUMANS are either Forerunners or at least descendants of them. Don't fall back on your "muh terminals" bullshit, its fucking irrelevant. Campaign dialogue comes before text based easter egg terminals. Humans were Forerunner and 343i retconned that in place of convoluted, derivative backstory that no one asked for. They ruined whatever mystery the Forerunners and Flood had, they ruined what made them cool. Before 343, the Forerunners were benevolent godlike entities that would sacrifice themselves to save the galaxy.
Before 343, the Flood were Lovecraftian horrors beyond comprehension. A genuine cosmic horror.
But now the Forerunners are just as flawed and evil as humanity and the Flood is moldy precursor dust fed to dogs that Promethius'd and mutated and blah blah who gives a fuck.

Nice. I've been using that green and blue color combo since Halo 2, it looks damn good no matter what armor you're using

Didn't 343i ignore Reach's story?

Or sometimes the opposite. It's so fucked.

>Compare that to CE where you are just expected to figure out who the hell keyes and cortana are as you go, and are just supposed to get the covenant are bad guys, and figure out who keyes, lord hood, the prophets, tartarus etc in 2, and Reach doesn't fucking explain Halsey or Noble team at all. and 5's issues are the fact that their writing sucks, not that they are EU depedent.

Yeah, and they still did a much better job than 343i. Bungie took ideas from everyone on the team regarding lore and story. Nylund, O'donnel and Staten all pitched in ideas and kept whatever sounded cool.

>it slightly longer to get from one end of the map to the other outweighs all the other shit

It's not even an intrinsically a bad thing, by having the maps scaled up by that, but the base movement still being faster, you have more potential actions occurring over a given amount of space, thereby increasing the overal speed of the game and it's pacing.

The point of the comparison is that sprint makes the game play slower because you need to stop shooting in order to get anywhere.

I'm surprised they are not releasing this on the epic store, what happened?

It has been some time since I played 4 so you’re probably right, I’m quick to assume poor lore on 343 admittedly due to me being unhappy with their changes

that's not what the webm is demonstrating

Yup, I’m glad they did and I’m happy they’re keeping it that way. Reach should be forgotten.

Why would you need to know the deep lore of Captain Keyes in the games? It literally adds nothing to the experience. Keeping his lore in extended universe content is the perfect way to handle this. Otherwise you end up with a bogged down mess explaining things that don't help the game progress.

It tries to, but does so poorly. I hate sprint as much as the next guy, but that comparison is retarded.

They’re starting to come back to Halo CE-3 (the games that matter) stories.

>you have more potential actions occurring over a given amount of space, thereby increasing the overal speed of the game and it's pacing.

Actually, it's the complete opposite. You're locked into the sprint animation. In Halo 3 you can fire, throw grenades, melee and switch between weapons while moving. In fact, you can do all of that while facing any direction.

3 had the best looking marines.

Attached: halo 3 marines.jpg (1920x1080, 255K)

Anyone got a link for Fall of Reach Definitive Edition?

You don't need sprint to traverse any of the maps, and your starting weapon is pinpoint accurate so the space between you and another player means little.

>Let me just design a map that's not shit

If Halo Wars 2 is anything to go by, I still don't have a lot of hope. Introducing a Super Mega Covenant, and Super Mega Halo's, and a Super Mega Ark is about as stupid as you can get.

Not defending 343 but the ark was already "super Halo"

I don't know about anything else, but there's a faction of the Covenant that are even stronger and bad-asser because they are even more zealots and are led by a big bad zealot brute who didn't need to acknowledge no truce.

no they just said later this year and it will take even longer because theyre doing it by each game

Can’t argue with that.

>never play matchmaking or 99% of custom games lobbies because they have cancer settings that shouldn't be there in the first place

I think the Super Ark and Super Halos were destroyed so no worries. Also, the Banished will get their continuation after Infinite.

I use steam for 90% of my games

The Banished are basically the Covenant but lead by a Brute who was banished from the Covenant, and they're way more powerful than the Covenant, and the Covenant are super scared of them, but they've never been seen or heard of before. Also you find out there used to be a few more Halo's than the 7, but they were bigger for reasons, and the Ark in Halo 3 was actually the Lesser Ark and theres a bigger Greater Ark that controls all the Halo's more than the previous one.

>Have to alter the game to enjoy the settings

Gee sure proved me wrong

Don't you see the hole in the center of the map? If you go down there that's the underground portion of the map.

Worked for me in Reach, and that game didn't even have a custom game browser.

I avoid DRM as much as possible and only use a 3rd party store if a game isn't available on it's own.

My point was, 343 is continuing their trend of trying to one up Bungie by making bigger, stronger versions of everything.

Game speed is more then just how long it gets from one end of the map to the other.

It's also stuff like how fast animations are, how many actions the player has to prefporm in a given unit of time or space, how long kills take, etc

and in all of those respects, 5 is faster

That doesn't have a bearing on my point? Even when moving at full speed, but not sprinting in 5, you are still actually moving at faster speeds then in CE, 2, 3, etc. Just because the map is relatively bigger doesn't mean that that speed isn't higher, which impacts things like tracking targets, and moreover, as I was saying, the larger map scaling also means that, over any given % of the mapo being traveled more is happening, so there's a higher desnity of actions relative to map movement.

This is all besides the poj t though, because even if everything I'm saying here is wrong, all the other shit I pointed out in would outweigh it anyways

I mean it's good even without doing that, I was just saying it for the turbo autists who think that those mechanics are inherently un-halo, as if there's anything intrsinic to halo other then the general aeshetic, sandbox, and having even starts

Every Halo needed altered settings to be enjoyable.

At this point in Halo 5. nobody just hold sprint toward their destination, they thrust slide and are able to shoot while flying across the map.

These were all clearly decided in bad faith and without extended testing because risk/reward has NEVER been a thing in Halo. Obviously the takeaway here is that more =/= better.

You did. You're the one alluding to ranked settings being the only enjoyable way to play, and that's a minority opinion if there ever was one. Generally speaking default settings were enjoyable to the masses, this counts for when they are officially patched as well.

thats odd. looks like regular old plated meta.

There's nothing wrong with making your own fun and playing with friends & acquaintances.

The only reason sprint worked in reach was because you had a recovery time that left you open to be shot in the fucking face before and after sprinting. The reason it doesn't work in 5 is because you halo can use your thrusters, so even if you fuck up you can just backwards blast your ass out of the room and sprint away.

It just needs a X-Box account i belive, not a Live subscription

i guess.
to me it looks like metal, and i dont think this game is new enough to fit into that trend.

No, it means they're surviving.

>It does the bare minimum
The vast majority of that is shit the other halo games don't even do, though. Having decent weapon balancde and guns that shoot straight alone makes it better then most Halo games.

>They add nothing that crouch jumping did not, other than a needlessly complex bloat of inputs.
Please, by this logic every new weapon addition does nothing that [closest comparable existing weapon] doesn't already do

The only spartan ability in 5 that "overcomplicates" anything is hover, which I agree is awkward. Thrust, slide, Charge (though charge is busted), and ground pound are all intuitive and simple to execute

>And Clamber ensured that absolutely none of the 'verticality' was practical as soon as you introduce human opponents.
Not surew what you are trying to say here

>Sprint doesn't need to delay shield recharge,
It's to prevent you being able to run away from every encounter

>Thruster doesn't need to disable shooting,
Agreed, though I also don't think you not being able to is that big a deal

> Clamber doesn't need to exist at all in place of adequate jump height.
You do though? There are no jumps clamber is required for other then some skilljumps you need to thrust/hover/crouchjump to to begin with, clamber is only used if you fuck up to catrch yourself and you still get punished by needing to go through the animation

So then come up with a consistent fucking definition of what defines Halo then other then

>Even starts

the reality is there are more PC players than before

It was also in-game during the level "Gravemind."

So sprinting should immediately put a giant crosshair on your back?

>>Microsoft releases Halo 1 on PC
>>No one cares
speak for yourself, zoomie

5's "ADS" is just the same zoom the series has always had, it's mechnically unchanged, the only thing different are the visuals. The clamber is a non-issue because you don't need to use it and there are still grenade jumps and crouchjumps it won't work for.

"Codshit" doesn't mean "Has features Call of Duty also has", it means "Plays like CoD to the detriment of what makes Halo feel like Halo", which WAS the case with 4 but isn't with 5. The most impactful of those is sprint and even that doesn't make it feel "not halo"

fuck, sprint was intended to be in Halo 2: would Halo 2 have been codshit had it had sprint?

It was used as a get out of jail free card.

2 seconds is a long time relative to everything else in the game.
>Have you ever considered not being shit?
Have you? Apparently not since you advocate chasing enemies who are sprinting away.

I'm really looking forward to playing this and laughing at xbots. I was a PS3 teen. I got all the PS3 exclusives and only missed out on Halo, Gears, and Forza. Now I'm on PC. I've played Gears, I've played Forza, and I've played the first 2 Halos. Soon I will complete the Halo series, and my victory will be complete.

If it keeps you from getting away, yes.

>The clamber is a non-issue
No. Clamber destroys map design by making every map super tall, and actively preventing players from traversing the map without it.
>b-but there's still skill jumps
At the cost of normal jumps.

> zoom the series has always had
You know this is bullshit. Only scoped weapons had a zoom feature. If you used it with others, it was just binoculars which disabled as soon as you shot/melee'd/threw a nade.

ADS in 5 gives increased magnetism to all weapons who have it, it's pretty much a BR scope on every weapon.
God did you even read my post?

>The vast majority of that is shit the other halo games don't even do, though.
So Halo 5 shouldn't be an improvement on past entries. Fucking weak argument.

>Please, by this logic every new weapon addition does nothing that [closest comparable existing weapon] doesn't already do
It's not logic. It's an observation.

>Not surew what you are trying to say here
Clamber no longer works as a mechanic once an enemy player shows up. It becomes worse than crouch jumping in every way.

>It's to prevent you being able to run away from every encounter
No, that's what desprint does. It was actually quite well designed in Halo 5. You have to reach max sprint speed just for getting shot not to stop you, and that's basically the furthest you need to go with the mechanic. It singlehandedly stops you from running away from fights you started.

Not that it matters, Thruster ensures that either nerf is redundant.

>Agreed, though I also don't think you not being able to is that big a deal
Well, it is a big deal. It's a first person shooter. Shooting needs to work.

>There are no jumps clamber is required
You're being disingenuous and a liar. Jump height in Halo 5 is simply pallid. You need Clamber just to reach the shoulders at spawn on Truth, the shoulders on Coliseum and the shoulders on Regret, and the shoulders on Eden and Empire (from the bottom) and the elevated shoulders on Torque, etc.

Maps should never have been designed this way.

Nope. MS dropped paid online on PC after GFWL was a massive ducking failure. With good reason.

I'm pretty sure they said multiplayer for all the games will be free to play, campaign will need to be bought.

>So then come up with a consistent fucking definition of what defines Halo
Keep waiting. It is 343's job to know this and not handwave things in classic Halo as 'not intrinsic to Halo'. We're not the developers.

You fucking sound just like them.

Reach's problems have always extended far beyond armor abilities.

Was aware, but couldn't quite remember the level. Played H2 religiously before 3 came around, so it's been easily over 12 years since I last popped did.

But if people can't admit that the least intrusive new addition to Reach isn't Armageddon itself it's pretty fucking hard to take them seriously.

That's not a change in the mechanic, that'a a change to what guns have the mechanic.

And even that's not really true: For a lot of guns, it's more of an alternate fitre mode, and for most of the ones that previously did not have zoom that do now, it really doesn't change shit since they aren't good at long distance engagements anyways and it's just distracted to get knocked out of it. You can easily never use it and still do well on 90% of weapons.

The only gun that formerly didn't have it that benefits from it is the AR, which is a sort of precision automatic in Halo 5, a unique role from other autos.

Past Halo games had zoom decreasing spread and upping magnetism as well, though, webm related

Sprint was pretty fucking intrusive when they gimped the move speed in general for it.

no dum dum

I do, but to know what is 'intrinsic to Halo' is not my job. I don't have the fucking source code and can run a ton of different mechanical ideas through testing.

The consumers know what they LIKE, but it is the developer's job to show them what they WANT.

On weapons with scope you tard, weapons without scopes don't have scopes to look down

I'm on win 10 and it just works.

i'm gonna die laughing if they go the full mile and make it native linux/macOS compatible

Name a new addition to Reach that was less intrusive than sprint.

Every other armor ability
Bloom
Motion Blur

hologram

sorry win 10 is completely fine, 7 is for hipsters, and any other OS is for retards

>The only gun that formerly didn't have it that benefits from it is the AR
And here you prove precisely why it's a retarded addition. It's unnecessary and only there to appeal to an audience that plays other games that compulsively use ADS

So armorlock and jetpack are less intrusive than sprint?
I'll give you that, so if every spartan in the game had hologram, that'd be a better game than one where everybody had sprint?

Vehicle health not being tied to the player.
The radar showing people who are above or below you.
Health packs starting your shield regen.
Forge

Reach has more problems than its shitty ass Armor Abilities, Pablo.

But wouldn't the reintroduction of health be classified as intrusive in its own right?

What do you mean?? Of course theyre less intrusive, sprinting is literally that, just being able to run faster.

Literally everything, game was made to shit on the players.

Shut you fucking face you stupid nigger, unless you have something smart to say.

It impacts the game less than sprint does. The best weapons in the game deal headshot damage, making health irrelevant in most cases.
My favorite Reach issue that nobody talks about is the sniper throwing your reticle off in a random direction when you get hit by it.

I dunno... Other than Bloom and maps? Not much else. Game pretty much every feature you could ever want in a Halo game.

So being able to get outside the map and an instant invulnerability toggle is less intrusive than moving a little bit faster?

>So Halo 5 shouldn't be an improvement on past entries.

>If past halo games have bad weapon balance, floaty, unresponsive movement, and inaccurate guns, having actually good weapon balance, tight movement and aiming, and guns that are hyper accurate isn't an improvement

dumbass

>It's not logic. It's an observation.
and I could apply that same "observation" to any number of things which are comparable similar to exiwsting weapons, vehicles, mechanics, etc, yet people are supportive and fine of those being added.

>It becomes worse than crouch jumping in every way.
It's not a replacement for crouch jumping, it's an addition

>Well, it is a big deal.
And be fucking real, even if you could fire during clamberinb, or using thrusters, or using sprint, people would still be bitching.

>There are no jumps clamber is required
You're being disingenuous and a liar. Jump height in Halo 5 is simply pallid. You need Clamber just to reach the shoulders at spawn on Truth, the shoulders on Coliseum and the shoulders on Regret, and the shoulders on Eden and Empire (from the bottom) and the elevated shoulders on Torque, etc.
Are those intended to be normal jumps, though? Or are jumnps that, in past Halo games, would have been crouchjumps or nade jumps or not have existed at all?

So if you know it, say it. But you can't, and won't because the things I said in ARE the core of what makes Halo Halo, and with the exception of art style, Halo 5 meets it.

The only reason people feel otherwise is because people like to bitch and be mad at 343i, ands moreoever, the Halo fanbase is a fucking cancerous trainwreck that's still stuck in 2007 and still thinks it's at war with CoD4 and sees any sort of mechanic or system that CoD also has being added as "giving in" to wider trends even when they function fine in Halo and don't undermine it's core design philosophy.

If you think i'm wrong, fucking explain how.

yep, you're bringing in exploits and glitches to back your argument. dont be dumb

CE had invincible vehicles and was the best at BTB in the whole series.

besides Sgt "Dear humanity" Johnson is there any character more based in halo then half jaw?

What's that supposed to fucking mean? Only guns that actually have scopes should have zoom or that makes it ADS?

That's fucking retarded, who cares about how it visually looks or functions lore wise, the gameplay impact is what matters. And if you are saying that adding zoom to new guns "makes it ADS", then that's even dumber

So? Yes, it's blatently meant to appeal to fans of other fucking shoote. But why should it fucking matter if it's gameplay impact ranges from negligible to outright positive?

Armor abilities are exploits and glitches?

Gravemind. Before he fucking jobbed in 3

it's funny because ship master and sgt Johnson are basically the same character for chief and arby

That's what halo is, you don't take a core value of halo, alter it, and then ask everybody "what's the big deal?????!!!!111!!!?1?"

I am still confused on a how they're going to release it. Are they going to sell each game individually? I also heard multiplayer was going to be free but the campaign was paid DLC or something like that.

Attached: gamescom-2014-halo-2-anniversary-delta-halo-odst-comparison1.jpg (1920x2160, 1.12M)

I wasn't arguing if the change was good or not, just that it was less intrusive than sprint. CE's BTB was great because grenades sent every vehicle flying, and you got 4 of them total meaning that any player and deal with vehicles if they play out the encounter intelligently.

>the faggot spamming the thread is both a phoneposter and an animecunt

You don't need to mass reply to get yous when you have anime pictures.

All in one purchase with MCC but released chronologically as updates

>Are they going to sell each game individually?
Yes. They will be sold individually but all launched from the same UI.
>I also heard multiplayer was going to be free but the campaign was paid DLC or something like that.
That's just for Reach on console. Existing Xbox owners of MCC are getting Reach multplayer for free. They haven't said if Xbox owners are getting the PC version for free or not.

Every game will be separately released, probably $10-15 each. Reach will be separated into two: multiplayer & campaign. Multiplayer segment is free for Xbox owners.

>past halo games have bad weapon balance, floaty, unresponsive movement, and inaccurate guns, having actually good weapon balance, tight movement and aiming, and guns that are hyper accurate isn't an improvement

I'M the dumbass? hahaha, get the fuck out of here.

>yet people are supportive and fine of those being added
False Equivalence. The problem with Clamber is that jumping is just inadequate. Same problem as having a weak utility weapon.

Either make jumping work, or get rid of Clamber.

>It's not a replacement for crouch jumping, it's an addition
Missing the point here. Clamber and combat just don't mesh at all.

>even if you could fire during clamberinb, or using thrusters, or using sprint, people would still be bitching.
Is that really my argument? Is people finding Spartan Abilities shitty a good excuse to avoid making them 'less' shitty?

>Bloom
Was an improvement over 3's random spread, since bloom at least could be controlled and was displayed to you. The problem was the DRM's specific values, not bloom itself, and even then it was more "people trying to use the DMR as if it was the BR"

Was never a real problem, aside from MAYBE in the beta and even then it was fine.

>Then it is an even fight.

>giving a shit about EU

Practice makes perfect. There is no time to start like the present.

On the DMR, yes, which is a problem with how the DMR handled it, not the entire idea of bloom itself

Had the DMR had less bullet magnetism, more spread/bloom gain per shot, higher max bloom, but faster bloom recovery, then it would have effectively served as a way to control shot placement, since you'd quickly get so much spread your shots aren't anywhjere near where you are aiming, and there's no magentism helping guide them towards a target

if you dont use EVA or Mark V you might as well kys

>If you don't see how those things are drastic improvements to the gameplay
You're the one calling the past Halo's floaty and unresponsive compared to Halo 5 and that's just retarded.

People have bitched for years now about Halo 5's shitty lethargic aiming, even on the PC Forge release.

I sucked at firefight. How the fuck do you go far in it? So many buffed enemies.

Alright anons

Clearly, there is a lot of disagreement on if the mechanics added in Reach and 5 are "un-halo or not" (I think we all agree that 4's were indeed unhalo)

However, nobody has actually tried to say what new mechanics or gameplay systems WOULD fit into a Halo game. So what are some brand new mechanics and systems you'd want to or would be cool with seeing in Halo Infinite?

Note that new weapons and vehicles aren't "mechanics", they are sandbox elements.
