thank you, looks like I'm waking up to go to uni or waking up for a day of halo baby

he not cute

>being excited for this

Movement in Halo games is slow as molasses, weapon diversity and control is extremely narrow, rocket splash is so huge you only need to lead on vehicles, and the crosshair magnetism is way too heavy-handed and not in-line with advances in manual gamepad aiming since 2001. Things like the BR and removal of health packs took the game backwards after CE, and yet the fans still argue for a Halo 3 clone.

The thing is, Halo isn't just slow compared to arena FPS; it's slow compared to other console shooters. Everything from the movement speeds, to the physics, to the ultra-heavy crosshair magnetism, is all a relic of a by-gone era where no one knew how to make FPS control smoothly on gamepads. By the 360 era, things improved enough to support the much faster gameplay of later COD games, BF series, UT3, even some Quake 4 console tournaments in France, etc.

So yeah, you can call Halo whatever you want, whether it's "tactical arena FPS" or whatever, but it's really its own thing which bears limited appeal either to PC arena FPS players or even people used to the later console military shooters.

Which is why I have a hard time believing that Halo on PC will result in any sort of success or long-term interest.

Isn't mlp a boomer thing while zoomers are into the Steven Universe shit?

If you can keep your rank from 360, I would play Reach's Multiplayer to max rank, depending how long is the wait for Halo: CE.

I think it's gonna go like this
>All the players are gonna be flooding Reach
>Halo CE will come out and then immediately switch to 2 once it comes out.
>The transition from 2 to 3 will be bring the greatest divide in the player count.
>Most people will stick to Halo 2, 3, and Reach

>Halo 4's multiplayer and singe player will be dead.

Halo 3 Forge was much more fun even though Halo Reach had better Forge capabilities, but I like them equally.

Sucks that I have to unlock everything again. Did one only get the currency through multiplayer or also campaign and firefight?

Yeah. Nothing is set in stone in terms of what is happening, just that they are "revealing more info" about MCC. Some leakers claim its getting released in the form of a beta or a fully working build ready for sale. I guess we'll find out in a few hours.

Attached: 1546984553562.jpg (1920x1080, 846K)

People are recommending BR and Battlefield kinds of gameplay in Halo, but I really think people don't want this shit. A lot of games are falling for the BR meme and utterly fail.

However I wouldn't mind large war battles in Single Player.

Attached: gross.jpg (1200x675, 596K)

You get currency from everything. Multiplayer, Campaign, and Firefight. I think Forge too, but Multiplayer gives the most points rewarded for kills and finishing games.

However on the MCC on consoles they gave every armor available in 4, I don't know about 3. So who knows. I don't think they would release everything, especially with the credit system. It takes away all the reward. If they don't fuck with the system, double exp should definitely be added because it takes goddamn forever to rank up.

>I don't know about 3
I hear in 3 you only get full armor presets. Hopefully they don't do that for Reach but I imagine not since that would require redoing everything regarding that.

I'm on the fence. On one side, you get everything instantly. Whatever you want your Spartan to look like. Which is cool.
But on the other side, there's no prestige to the more difficult unlocks if everyone gets them and it loses its cool factor.

Either way I'm a bit happy and disappointed.

>few hours.
nigga we still got a long ways to go

>Halo 3 Forge was much more fun even though Halo Reach had better Forge capabilities
I feel the exact same way but I can't describe why. Why did the restrictions on Halo 3's forge serve to make it so much more creative and fun?

do you really give people the benefit of the doubt that they will not play halo 4 the most? I play regularly on xbone, and even on the mixed-game matchmaking playlists, 70% of the time people vote for halo 4 games. halo 4 dedicated playlists also get at least 40% of the total playercount.

maybe it's just zoomers with "higher installment number equals better game" logic?

fpbp

Fine, make it so 2-3 matches equals one unlocked midtier item
IIRC something like Master Chiefs helmet cost something like 250000 credits and you got maybe 500 credits per match. There were missions to do too but still
Its been a decade since I played it so dont quote me on these numbers but it was such a fucking slog

Zoomers that started with 2 or 3 at a young age and have no concept of Halo CE or what it was like. Everything after CE is Marvel tier chosen one capeshit and they love that stuff.

We all played 1-3, ODST and Reach. This isn't anything new.

some dropped it at Reach
some dropped it at Halo 4

but the point is we've all dropped Xbox now (our dedicated Halo machines). We haven't paid attention to Halo or anything surrounding it in a decade, (even Bungie or the community, since Destiny didn't release on PC). We all moved on thinking this day would never come. 343i Halo was never the same, so we left Halo behind. Before projects like Eldewrito, hope didn't exist; any Halo game past H2 had only lived in our heads through rose-tinted glasses. We had mastered Halo: Combat Evolved though. You could say the definitive Halo 1 experience has always been on PC despite a couple of missing graphical effects. Nowadays this is arguably the case for Halo 2 PC (cartographer) as well. Hell, a lot of us we're always playing Halo PC with xfire on the side even with the releases of 2, 3, ODST and Reach. Yea Forums even hosted Halo PC game nights every now and then. PC was definitely a home for another, unexpored side of Halo, whereas Halo on Xbox was a home away from home.

But now we've come full circle. We're actually going HOME this time for real. For us, home is where Halo is, and Halo is now on PC--the platform we went back to 10 years ago after Halo died) Once you're on PC, you are immortalized. When you're on console, you're contemporary.

We're not going after Halo anymore, Halo has come to us. We don't have to go home. Home came back and it's here to stay.

Nothing you would comprehend with the waterbear sized nerve clump at the top of your spine.

Wtf are they doing

More new characters, expanded gameplay. Are you a genuine idiot? Do you not know how sequels work?

Honestly, as someone who followed the development from S3 on, the game we have right now sounds like it's a mess of spaghetti code. They'd benefit from hitting the reset button in a new engine, fixing up the lighting, toning down the particle effects, and giving the characters some new toys to play with.

Then, of course, there's new characters to consider.

reach predates halo 1 chronologically

But Halo 1 came out first chronologically

Delete your post

the same way you handle a sequel to any fighting game you fucking moron, add more characters, retool some of them and refine the gameplay
that's release date order you utter retard, by chronological they mean in the story

No mercys, actual stages for all the characters, better character models and animations, use of Dojo with every character, new characters, a full fledged story mode, tag battles, that snail man character that works like Blanka.

Too late. Someone did this like an hour after it happened.

Spartan's were originally designed to stop a rebellion, they were gonna be fighting humans, probably bombing innocents. Why do you think they were made to be emotionless husks? You don't need emotionless husks to fight actual terrorists, you need them to follow orders and kill anyone and everyone that might be an enemy.

It's a simultaneous release with the console version of Reach. Pc can't get it earlier than Xbone.

who dis?

it hasn't been said anywhere that xbone is getting it in fall you moron

It will probably be 60. My guess $9.99 for each game

Once the collection is completed, later down the line Halo 5 will be fully added to the Steam store as well at a reduced price. Not as part of the collection, though. Screenshot this if you'd like.

Well it is a good thing. A good thing for literally everyone other than Xbox fans because now your console is actually worthless and has no reason to exist because MS is going third party.

it's sometimes nostalgic to hear all about how you are a hacker and your opponent's dad works for microsoft and how they are going to ban your ass while fucking your mother.

I'm probably gonna make a fragvid when the game comes to pc

I'm not saying MS is doing something bad for us, I'm just saying that this shit is definitely not good for the xbox

MS is giving less and less reasons for people to stick with their consoles, and even with their stores. This shit can backfire to MS in the long run though.

No release date to be announced today per Sketch

>“In gaming, we are pursuing our expansive opportunity — from the way games are created and distributed to how they are played and viewed, surpassing $10 billion in revenue this year for the first time,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said on a call with investors Thursday.
Can you not read, user?

So MS is making more money basically from Windows 10 as well as microtransactions being the norm, meanwhile the brand itself is still a fucking shadow of its former self in terms of relevancy and Xbone console sales are catastrophically bad with the Switch set to outsell it by the end of the year. MS' gaming division is doing better, the Xbox brand itself is fucking dying.

>They've literally never done better
>Only include two years of data
You know money was worth 30% more in 2005 than it is today, right?

>trying to separate the Xbox from the MS gaming division
That’s not how this works, user

>the Xbox brand has never done better than it has recently
last gen xbox literally sold TWICE as much as it does now

>They’re positioning themselves as a sort of steambox but with actual appeal
what does this even mean?
they are literally putting their own games on Steam, letting Valve tax 1/3 of their revenue, and even giving people less reason to stick to their own stores

like I have no problem with MS just becoming a third party game dev pushing people to game on PC, but I despise the idea of them enforcing this Valve monopoly oriented industry, where an unproductive, useless company takes away 1/3 of the money from the whole PC gaming industry.

Are you being retarded on purpose? The Xbox division didn’t even turn a profit until 2008 and the profit for that year was 1/10th what they made in 2018

Because they'd be placing a deadline on themselves, they're worried about MCC interest after the shitshow the game was for years. They've been publicly testing every patch since last year.

If they're only releasing 1 game at a time there's literally no reason to make people drop $30 for an early release pack, so they can iron out bugs in a real playtest environment and not some asshole slurping "OH NO ITS PERFECT NOTHINGS WRONG" cherrypicked test environment.

It was in the terms of service.

They didn't, dude is pulling your leg, they're asking PC gamers to participate and pc gamers don't have access to those achievements unless you use halo 5 forge.

RIP Halo on PC

Is there any way to change your gamertag on PC? My GT from 2005 makes me cringe.

>he didn't hit 1000 GS from Halo 2 Vista alone

GS doesn't contain Halo 2 PC, but nice try.

xbox.com, be ready to shell out 10 bucks for a new name.

you have to pay $30 to change it.

I couldn't get it to work on chrome but it worked fine on firefox.

It's right on the page, it says it doesn't contain halo 2 pc

They are smart enough to release it on Steam thus far, I can bet dollars to dumplings whoever is the lead on this port will also be smart enough to include custom game modding

Thanks. It's a rip-off but it has to be done. Can I check for available names before I pay?

it's fucking ゴ you retarded ironic weeb

No. If you try to choose a name that is already taken it will still charge you but not change your name.

The website checks for availability before you make the change.

It only costs 10 dollars to change it and yes you can check for available names. Change your gamertag through the Xbox app on Windows 10 (or go to the Xbox website)

Dead thread
Dead game

Why the fuck is my microsoft account name pregenerated? Can I change it?

Go back to EPIC

You get 1 free namechange.

maybe I will

Yeh you can change it for free but only once.

>last gen xbox literally sold TWICE as much as it does now
while this is entirely speculation cause you don't have official numbers. You are gauging the profitability of a brand by hardware sold at a loss? not attach rate? acessory sales? XBL subscriptions? Gamepass subscriptions? etc.
They have objectively had their biggest years as of late. Look at the numbers.
>what does this even mean?
Microsoft has been testing running literal Xbox versions of games on Windows 10. The next "gen" is rumoured to have full BC and come out with two different models out the game, a high end and low end. Spencer years ago said he wanted to get on the "cellphone" model where there was a new Xbox every few years. But it wasn't a necessary upgrade, and players could basically just upgrade whenever they felt it was best, rather than waiting a whole generation if they wanted to be bleeding edge.
>letting Valve tax 1/3 of their revenue, and even giving people less reason to stick to their own stores
This is one game release user, something that is partly marketing to the Microsoft games store exclusive next halo game, partly just a fan service, and largely an optics thing. They aren't going full steam. But even Phil fully admits steam is better than their present store. And I think the goal here is exposure and good graces. It also shuts up a lot of the conspiracy theorists who think they are planning on blocking steam and other nonsense. I think they see steam for them, sort of the way EA sees GoG. Not so much a threat or competition, but a side deal. Once gamepass is fully on PC, I think they will be a decent player on their own OS again.
