really only cared for elites vs spartans and firefight. forge was nice too. too bad my friends stopped playing by that time.

Cuh-ringe

It's been 8 years. If you don't get why people call you a fag by now, there is no point in trying to convince you to change.

>Halo 2 mid tier
>Halo reach shit tier
I know this is bait but come on, is Yea Forums really that hateful of reach's post patch goodness? and are that bad at halo 2 multiplayer?

I wouldn't call Reach fans "people".

Steam release when?
Fucking hell release it already.

>Halo 4 better than anything
>Halo 5 better than Reach or Anniversary (which is just prettier Halo 1)
Nigga you gay AND dumb

Halo 2's multiplayer is shit compared to the first game.

Halo 1's multiplayer was literally pistols vs pistols with a sniper or rocket launcher to mix it up. i was a tourneyfag and it grew stale. Halo 2 has more options and a higher skill ceiling due to the shit you can do with the br

Combat Evolved was unironically best at big map objective gametypes.

>he hates halo 1 because it's "only pistols"
>plays halo 2
lol
>higher skill ceiling
You needed button combos just because the base shooting was so fucking easy. Even now, nobody lands consistent 3-shots in CE. The game itself has much more depth as well. Halo 2's spawn systems for both players and weapons was dogshit. Power weapons didn't even start their timer until the previous one despawned, so you could just hold onto it forever.

we waint seein nothing yet

Reach willl be reborn on PC as an entirely new game

Fucking savage.

and the improved forge mode

I'm almost done reading the Fall of Reach. I'm very much enjoying it.

Matchmaking for FF and Campaign was a good addition too.

replace pistol with BR and nothing has changed.

CE's weapons all have their place. Most of Halo 2's are just straight reskins.

stfu

cant wait for the Halo 4 babies to overrun Yea Forums in 2020

We already have the 343 niggers sucking off H5
>Reach beta
I was not a fan of those mininuke nades

invasion and generator defense more than made up for it compared to the gimped versions we got in the final release still salty about the changes they made to armor perms post beta

they were closer to CE's nades as viable weapons rather than just tools for popping shields that they've been from 2 onwards

I miss it. I don't understand why they were so stingy on attachment options, it's not like you had that much to spend credits on.
The big difference was that CE's grenades couldn't explode midair. The fuse didn't start until the grenade came to rest, and reset if it was moved before exploding. Reach's grenades just needed to be bounced up a ramp.

Why is Halo Wars 2 shit? I never played it.

WHENS THE PC TEST

It isnt, the graphics are just worse and the big meme mode it tried to push is gay

>I was not a fan of those mininuke nades
People like you are why they ruined Reach. I bet you complained about the Plasma Launcher on Swordbase too.

Reach was already too far gone by the time the public could play it.

Shut up. The Beta was fucking great.

Would also like to mention that the campaign, while mostly lackluster, did have some amazing music and cinematography in the cutscenes. I honestly think that's the shit people remember about Reach's campaign cause the gameplay sections themselves were mostly tepid aside from the space mission. But man oh man did it have some great cutscenes and setpieces in the second half. Like the helicopter ride on Exodus where you're just watching soldiers and civilians get slaughtered and there's nothing you can really do no matter how much you shoot, or the ships glassing the city in the background on New Alexandria.

Hopefully mods will let us play with some of this stuff.

It was the same as retail, just slightly worse.
Good Plasma Repeater, though. Sad to see that got neutered hard when it was supposed to be strong to begin with.

Is Halo Wars 2 that good?

Imagine Halo Wars but with retconned 343 lore, reliance on a horribly written plot, and not a single likeable character. The gameplay is virtually identical to its predecessor, it's less impressive technically, and overall just a soulless expansion pack that tears down everything the first game built up. It took them 8 years to figure out how to write a fanfiction that could destroy the first game as completely as possible to pave the way for 343 lore then copy/pasted the gameplay from the original over it.

Basically they shit a cash grab into the mouths of 343 kiddies and called it what the fans wanted. youtu.be/5yxvjxJYjvQ

>343 lore
you know bungie had nothing to do with the first one right

At least it was before I fucked everything up

you know I didn't mention anything about bungie right

people don't criticize 343's writing because they're bungie purists they criticize it because it's fucking bad

I mean I agree I'm just saying, people act like Microsoft didn't always have a big hand in the lore when they were always the driving force behind the multimedia shit

furthermore 343's standard of going out of their way to kill off, retcon, or overwrite the work of those that came before them and then carve their bad fanfiction on their tombstones as law is a horrible practice for quality control as well as just incredibly petty and childish. For how much they push to have all their new games focus on lore, plot, characters, and writing they sure don't give a fuck about the quality of it.

never

Does anyone have that pic of Noble Team in matching green armor?

I loved ODST but it didn't have matchmaking for firefight like it should have.

It's not

>Worst Halo
This

Respawns were super fucking shit too.

Halo 3's campaign netcode couldn't support matchmaking.

People were bummed that Halo Wars was limited to its polygonal graphics, grid building system, and casualized rts mechanics after what was demo'd at e3 2007. People saw the potential for halo to go back to its roots and prove that rts could work on consoles as well as fps. That was ultimately strangled by tech limitations so when they finally announced a sequel people were excited to see Halo Wars return to live up to its potential on new hardware. Instead we got a lazy copy/paste and the deliberate butchering of the lore, writing, characters, and potential from the first game to make room for obsessed 343 fanboys was just a slap in the face in top of the disappointment. You'd think they ONLY made the game as an excuse to tie up loose ends by wrangling in the last of the lore outside their direction, which is again stupidly childish, a horrible motivation to make a game, and an insult to its fan and playerbase.

This

How do you make an RTS work on console? Seriously here.

So you didn't actually play it? Good to know.

I played it enough. It was just Reach with even slower movement.
