i've still only played the demo (silent cartographer mission), plus multiplayer and halo ce multiplayer

Very. I played through the second mission (and the library) countless of times over and over again. Tbh I can't wait for the Halo Remastered for the PC.

Its a good game too, no need to fight about it.

It's been 18 years bro, it's time to put this behind you. Halo: CE was revolutionary, and no misplaced childhood seething is going to change that. It's not that it did stuff that had never been done or innovated any brand new mechanics, but it expertly wove them together in an experience that, for its time, had production values through the roof.

You braindead fucking retards who play shooters with a controller should be hanged. You don't deserve to breathe the same air as me.

Assault on the Control Room was the level that impressed me.

Where did the Spartans in halo 5 come from. Why was MC the only spartan from Halo 1 to 4?

As someone who played a fuck-ton of Unreal and UT back in the day I thought Halo was also pretty cool. I was more excited for the original version of course but even the final Xbox version had some impressively large and relatively seamless environments. And it did a good job making FPS work on console by using the limitations of the controller to shape the gameplay, slowing everything down and blending arena (even starts, map control) and tactical elements (weapon limit, team-focused gameplay). And the vehicles really added another layer to everything.

I never bought an Xbox for it but I always had fun playing it with friends and at lan parties and such.

Oh shit yes especially the outdoor part, my young self me couldn't comprehend the vastness of it.

>It’s been 18 years bro
Yeah and unfortunately that means you can finally post here legally, but that has nothing to do with how generic and simple Halo is. It’s easy to see anything at that age as “expertly woven” because you’re brain was still developing, stunted but developing.

It's been on PC for 16 years. That doesn't really have anything to do with the game itself though.

>using people with down syndrome for your reactionary images
I hope you get beaten up on the street.

Absolutely seething

nay... IT WAS HERESY

Unreal didn't have single player since the first game in like 1997 or whatever.

Did you even read who I replied to you fucking mouthbreather? Also don't pretend you casual faggots didn't play this garbage and CoD on a console like the absolute fucking mongoloids you are.

1-3 takes place over 3 months. And everything after doesn't really count anyways. It's all fan fiction published by MS.

I've played it recently, and it holds up much better than most of the 90s shooters you're going to task for. And I've been posting here legally for 12 years. Somehow, I doubt you're much older, if at all.

You can't help it, you grew up shoveling shit into your mouth so you don't know any better.

Halo was about the ring planet, I mean did the creators ever thought this would be a franchise? If not I would believe they would name is Spartan instead.

Story in hl and presentation sucked balls compared to halo released on pc at that time. I guess you are too young to remember those times correctly

I thought the graphics were really good but it was my first fps on a console and I hated the controls. I also thought the regenerating shield made it too easy.

You replied to me. The game is on PC, so I don't get what your problem is. I guess you were just that butthurt as a kid. The whole acting elitist about mouse and keyboard shtick is really tired and played out by the way. No one fucking cares.

It's a meme originating from issue 10 of Escalation where Master Chief ejects the section of the ring that the Didact is on to kill him

>Jaime Griesemer: Growing up I was a console kid, for sure, so Xbox was exciting to me. But I was pretty skeptical thatHalo was going to be right fit because there hadn’t really been console shooters. Even playingGoldenEyefelt like garbage next to PC shooters. It’s fine given the constraints, but I would play against my friends and destroy them since I was the only one playing it like you would on PC. Everybody else felt handicapped by that controller.

>Marty O’Donnell: Nobody is more responsible for the feel ofHalocontrols than Jaime Griesemer. He was the one that really thought everything about the controller through. Like, what is it you do with a mouse and keyboard that you have to now do with the thumbsticks? Nobody had figured that out. And he was sitting there, really fine-tuning controls, probably more than anybody.

>Jaime Griesemer: There’s a lot of code inHalothat interprets what you’re doing—how fast did you move there, what are you looking at? If it’s an enemy, we can assume that when you slow down, you’re trying to aim. So there are pages and pages that interpret the input that comes in, in a way that isn’t blatant and in your face. We tried to conceal how much help we’re giving the player.

>Stuart Moulder: It essentially buffers your movements, so that you get the movement you wanted, not necessarily the one you were making. Which gives you a really controlled, precise experience, beyond what your thumb could actually give you, unassisted.

>Jaime Griesemer: The real shine of theHalocontrols is all in the small details. Like how you can only carry two weapons, so you just need one button to switch between them. A lot of why that came about was due to technical limitations—you don’t want to switch to a weapon and then wait for its animation and textures to load.

Have fun b hopping against bots in ugly brown hallways all day because nobody plays your dead game anymore

It's hilarious that your entire argument revolves around the idea that people who like Halo only like it because they lacked the "maturity" to recognize it as "garbage", when you type and act like a petulant 15 year old.

Why are you so mad?

I don't like casual faggots on my board. Go wank over your shit game on reddit.

I've been on "your" board for over a decade, probably longer than you have. Probably longer than you've had pubic hair.

Nah no franchise, Bungie wanted to go & make an RPG & a Minecraft like game for their next projects

Microsoft meddling kind of talked them into one more sequel to wrap it up, then it turned into a franchise

Why is it every time someone talks about Halo some Fat ugly incel has to come shit up the thread?

I'd urge you to take your own advice. Like I said in my original post, this level of hostility and juvenile rage can't be just about a video game. See a therapist.

remember the time when first saw this youtube.com/watch?v=1WWaWB-cxYY

Fun fact: games on HUAG Xbox started using programmable shades in games before major pc releases.

Take the hint and kill yourself off of Yea Forums.

It's been 18 years. People who were 10 when the game was released are 28 now.

I sincerely hope you're some poser 20 year old who spent too much time on /vr/ and is trying to act cool. The idea that some guy in his 30s or even 40s is spending his Friday night frothing at the mouth over a game that's almost two decades old is indescribably sad.

Yes, actually.

I just played the Halo trilogy for the first time a few months ago. I had never played them before. And despite playing modern games on current consoles with current gen graphics, I was legitimately blown away by the Halo games.

And my awe was compounded with knowledge that this shit came out so long ago. It must have blown people away when they first played these games on release.

Entering the halo ring for the first time, expanding that light bridge. I was floored, and I played it a few months ago for the first time. I'm actually stunned how something that good came out so long ago.

Is that a tacit admission that you're a 20 year old poser? You being Eurotrash explains a lot though.

It has nothing to do with autism. If you play shooters with a controller you should be publicly executed.

That's a real fucking stretch you troglodyte. I don't browse /vr/ because there is literally no point to the board.

Why did you feel the need to deny it if it didn't apply to you? I gave you two options, and you're so insecure you responded to both. Says a lot about you, kid.

I thought the concept of an artificially created ozone layer and weather system and vegetation was a little meta and cool. Of course, I was a lot more focused on how fun the game was to play with friends.

Absolutely. I avoided shooters on console because the controls were ass. Even GoldenEye and Perfect Dark were just total shit to control. But Halo seemed like the kind of shooter you'd get on PC and the premise was neat so I got it. And damn if it didn't nail it. Looking up and seeing the ring fade into the distance, the huge sea next to you, it felt like you'd explore a whole world. And you kind of did. By early 2000s standards. And it kept mixing it up. Grassy, desert, snow, alien interiors. Vehicles, on foot, light stealth. Big action sequences and quiet awe of what you were seeing. Great game that eventually devolved as a series into generic pew pew. It's still good at it but it lost the wonder.

>YOU DO THING

What the actual fuck is this preschool logic? You really are underage.

It's easy as fuck to find a free download with full campaign and online working, why don't you?

no mouse right now lol, i guess i could go for the full console experience

You are so braindead that you can't comprehend the simple concept that the two scenarios are mutually exclusive. Why even bother denying that you go on /vr/ if the "20 year old poser" bit doesn't apply to you? If you were actually the pathetic 30-40 something who spends his weekends seething over a game almost two decades old that you are desperately pretending to be, you wouldn't feel compelled to acknowledge any part of the first scenario.

Forerunner tech tends not to make sense, not under bungie and especially not under 343 where everything floats, forerunners float, metal bits and structures float.

Oh yeah dude Yea Forums never liked Halo and never talked about the games when they were new. Captain King? Yeah that never happened.

Maybe if your brain were developed beyond adolescence, you'd understand that accusing someone of being a child as you've been doing carries the implication that you yourself are an adult. I guess this is another tacit admission that you're a precocious 20 year old who's barely older than the game he's seething about.

What? False faggot.

On one ends it’s smart, in the other this is why console FPS is complete shit and ruined FPS.

I never did get into the series much, so I do find it harder to appreciate the games overall.

Perhaps for that reason I wouldn't say I was awestruck in any significant way, but the sheer scope and environments were pretty cool.

People who play on PCs are older than people who play on consoles. People playing Halo 1 were likely underage faggots around 8 years old while people playing Quake 3 were probably in their teens at least if not adults.

You sure you're not the limp wristed one?

You're delusional if you think there were no kids in fucking Q3 or Unreal

It was cool, but I didn't own an Xbox, so I didn't end up picking it up years after the PC port released and until after I had already played Far Cry and BF2. I preferred Far Cry and BF2.

Halo 4 A.I. is quite shite.

Far less of them. You clearly never went to a Lan party.

I thought, "looks like unreal for children"

Personally, I played Halo, UT, Quake 3, Starcraft, AoEII, SSBM, etc. all around the same time, when I was around 10.
>while people playing Quake 3 were probably in their teens at least if not adults
I hope that doesn't include you. You know this tactic worked great 15 years ago when you could pretend you were an adult talking to teenagers. I really don't want to believe there's anyone approaching 40 who's still this obsessed and angry about Halo.

Few parents would let their children hang out with a bunch of balding, greasy old fucks who believe their preference comprises a big part of their identity.
Doesn't mean a shitload of kids with dads who played those games didn't obviously play them.

LAN parties were a thing for 10-16 year olds.

I was still doing LAN parties well into my early 20's, mainly because I had friends who liked to game. Halo and Diablo 2 LAN parties were pure bliss.

Hell yeah. I was gearing to get a PS2 for my birthday, but while at summer camp, the kids brought an Xbox with Halo and instantly fell in love.

Not quiet but it was impressive the distance you ended up going in the first like 40m of play.

Wait...

If monitors of the installation have the ability to section off and eject portions of a Halo ring off...

Why didn't 343 Guilty Sparks just eject the segment with the Pillar of Autumn before it was about to go nuclear and destroy the ring in Halo CE?

The point is 343 made it up. Halo Rings do not work like that, fuck, PHYSICS doesnt work like that -- you can't just remove a section of the ring without the ring collapsing in itself. 343 made the entire thing up to quickly end a comic book issue and kill the Didact quickly without having to write a complex ending. It's all fucking bullshitvand everyone was rightfully pissed when it happened

it was pretty cool tbqh

If it had to repair the pulse generators manually then it probably couldn't do other processes remotely either and wouldn't have had time while trying to shut the Autumn down.

But really, this. Just bad writing

Actually, Cortana disabled the Control Room, hence the "Assault on the Control Room" level.

343 Guilty Sparks lost all functions of the ring after that part, hence why he was going around trying to fix everything while Chief and Cortana were racing to detonate the Autumn and get off the ring

Halo really was mindblowing at the time. The size of that first open world level was just unbelievable compared to other games at the time. Most games in that era were indoor tiny corridor shooters and sometimes arena shooters with small maps. Halo had crazy huge maps and really good controls for a console game at the time. It was just a few years after the clunky controls of Goldeneye and it was a massive evolution of both multiplayer and control layout quality. Halo 2 was the first real console online multiplayer shooter worth anything. It was years ahead of other console multiplayer shooters.

Plus, spark didn't want the Autumn destroyed or harmed and erasing the human knowledge it contained. The goal was to preserve that knowledge because humans were originally written as the forerunners (biological successors) before that ended up retcon'd

Pretty kino opening for a dog shit name like "Halo Infinite"

Didn't Halo 2 practically invent matchmaking? I remember that being a huge deal. Other games used server browser systems, but Halo 2 was the first game to use randomized auto-matching

Halo 2 invented parties and lobbies. It was a giant leap forward for online games. It had problems with the abuse of the host P2P system but it was still years ahead of anything on consoles back then.

I believe so. Goddamn shame it overtook dedicated hosting on PC in the name of money. Look at a game like TF2 before and after matchmaking was integrated as the primary mode, with it killing off the bulk of community hosted games and servers, and it's just total shit. It made the product worse.

you retards, rings being able to eject sections of themselves was already canonical before the comic

Halo 4 elite faces are actually more accurate to H2 elites then 2A elites.

2A elites have radically different proportions and skull anatomy, as seen here: artstation.com/artwork/WKX3D wheras 4 elites actually more or less keep the proportions from 3 elites, just with smaller eyes and wavier mandiables, as seen in pic related (3 elite heads are almost 1:1 identical to 2 elites)

Where the fuck do you think you are, retard?

I still had fun running through the campaign with friends, fuck you.

None of thos games were bad though. Halo was for literal kids tho

Halo 4's AI had to be tuned down a lot to enhance the graphics whilst still working on the same console as halo 3. It makes combat a lot easier, Halo 4 generally throws fewer stronger enemies at you to make up for this. But fewer enemies = easier, regardless of how strong they are.

Why did supposedly groundbreaking soldier AI have to be wasted on a fucking horror game?

STAY BACK! STAY BACK YOU'RE NOT TURNING ME INTO ONE OF THOSE THINGS
I'LL BLOW YOUR BRAINS OUT GET AWAY FROM ME

Halo plays perfectly fine with a controller, it's pacing makes a thumbstick very accurate. I think all you "mouse+keybaord only" fucks are just pretentious. I play Quake and I have to admit that aiming with a mouse is soo much easier. Meaning, that all of you are just trash and have to depend on something easier to play decently

Seething fagatron

the teeth really aren't that close to the eyes, it's more apparant how far they actually are in Wars elites (in the cutscenes, anyways, the in game models are fine) look like shit, they are basically reach elites but are super fucking bulky and faT

Christ that waist to shoulder ratio is like they're a mom in a cartoon

>rings being able to eject sections of themselves was already canonical before the comic
The entire section? The whole part of the fucking ring so that it wasn't even connected anymore, instead of just a chunk of the surace like and ?

No it fucking wasn't, it's retarded and everyone acknowledges it's retarded. Look at that fucking comic panel it's like a parody.

Ripa looks okay

Yea Forumsirgins don't play games idiot.

>those fucking claws
gross, no other elites have shit like that right?

The large open outside levels and the enemy AI were a new thing at the time. I was very impressed.

There is still, to this day, no FPS that incorporates vehicles into the Sandbox as well as Halo does.

Except maybe Arma

Why do people pretend Halo wasn't on PC, CE came to PC like 16 months later

It's PS2 fanboys who hated Halo, PC gamers just thought it was overrated

>Unreal / UT1999
>Half-Life
(FUNC_VEHICLE FUNC_VEHICLE)

I mean...? CE was fun tho

>spends 2 human hours strapping it on and jacking it off

what the fuck is this garbage holy shit

hl is the most overrated boring game ever made and only survived so long because of counter strike. a fan made mod.

Pretty sure a "section" means a small chunk, not a whole fucking interconnecting segment. The whole superstructure would tear itself apart if it did that.

unreal 1 and half life didnt have anything as big as level 2 of halo though i dont think

>I am too challenged by alternative controls, that means everyone else just sucks.
git gud.

>Multiplayer only.

Wow MS is shitting their pants.

nah, an actual segment.

Granted, it was still a 343i invention, it was first mentioned in the forerunner novels, but keeping the rings stablized without the circuit being complete really isn't outside of what they were established as being capable of doing anyways

nah controls literally dictate how fast / complex a game can be though, enemy ai and general gamedesign on console shooters are tailored around decreased responsiveness

That's actually true. Not until later on when people started doing more with modding and the tools improved.
UT's assault maps were pretty large, but no vehicles.

In all honesty I can't think of another game that integrated every component back then aside from Operation Flashpoint.

The first OF game is the only other combined sandbox I know of from the era.

ACTUALLY, one game I am aware of that came WAY before with all the same elements, possibly the only one and definitely one of the first ever made --

LGS's Terra Nova.

and Terra Nova was good.

Probably the first clue to the Covenant that something is wrong when your Sacred Ring has Earth trees on it.

Their faces would have been priceless after nuking Reach.

Not really, in Halo lore convergent evolution is taken to a big extreme, most planets have very, but not entirely earth like environments, often with grass, trees, and at least vaugely mamallian, reptillian, avian etc animals

Obviously the canonical explanation for this is forerunners seeded life everywhere.

Those games came out in 98, Halo was running on way better hardware

A big reason PC games didn't use massive maps like Halo is because by the early 2000's, devs were experimenting with dynamic lighting for the first time & realised it was much easier to look & run good in corridors, Bungie tried Doom 3 lighting with big maps & had to scrap the engine & restart the project
Crytek had a good compromise with Far Cry, but it was never quite the looker like Half Life 2 & Doom 3, people preferred better visuals with corridors
