Halo has the best alien races in any fiction (excluding halo 4 and 5)
I enjoy playing legendary co-op in the original game and being the guy who dies over and over only to respawn beside the other player who is hiding somewhere safe so that I can endlessly throw grenades and whittle down elite packs through sheer attrition.
I'm expecting 343 to totally fuck everything up
Dating sim ever.
they seem to know what the fans want now so im pretty hopeful
depends
do I need windows 10
yes
no
I watched a YouTube video that showed how every re-release of Halo is based off Gearbox's botched port which is missing a shit ton of graphical effects from the Xbox original.
Come on Mr. Shill, you're going to have to sell me on this because I am not convinced.
yes if through the windows store, no if through steam. they discussed getting it running on 7 recently.
Since there's going to be progression I want the daily and weekly challenges back like LASO and triple double.
Genuinely fucking stoked. Its gonna be forever from now though sadly.
Fuck off already
this is important information, I wish they would disseminate it sooner rather than later
I love the UNSC and how they're basically just marines in space and not space marines. Also the UNSC aesthetic is top tier.
maybe
S-sorry
>Are you all ready for MCC on PC?
The more and more info we get the more and more disappointing and worried I am.
343i doesn't seem at all interested in trying to account for the problems having mice input will bring in terms of further benefiting precision weapons and making them even more dominant. Such as how they are giving DMR starts the higher weighting for reach, using TU settings which only further gives the DMR higher precision, and when people notes this on twitter they basically just said "well the halo community likes precision weapons and the DMR with TU settings/mice input is too centralizing to not start with lol"
Maybe this is just autistic niche complaints since the over-prevelance of precision weapons and the rest of the sandbox being relagated for shit guns for casual players has always been my biggest complaint, wheras the rest of the Halo community doesn't seem to mind, but to me it's disheartening.
No, 7 support is confirmed.
>7 support is confirmed.

They've stated multiple times that they've been testing the game on Windows 7 and 10.

Humans tech seems realistic. They still use kinetic weapons despite being 500 years into the future.
really hope file share makes a return
I like that the grunts learnt English through intercepting unsc transmissions and now have a black market trading in human soap operas/sitcoms because they just genuinely enjoy them
My favourite book is probably first strike, but ghosts of onyx is also great
The elites are my favourite alien visually although the engineers look really cool too
But as said before the grunts are probably my favourite aliens for laffs
Halo 1-Reach (moresoe 1-3) had the best blend of sci-fi and more realistic military tech for me. I really fucking hated the shift to forerunner constructs in the new games. One, because I hate the fucking trope where le ancient race is extinct but their godlike machines still exist. The enemies in 4 just felt bland as hell. The covenant really were their bests when the Brutes/Sangheli were vying for the favor of the prophets. And the designs were not aesthetically pleasing in my opinion. They were way too fucking clean and sharp, too "futuristic". Covenant in ways still feels a little more primal and tribal in design if that makes sense, and therefore more human. Didn't even bother buying 5. It's a shame really, I loved Halo long before I ever had xbox live. The campaigns were good, even the background books like Ghosts of Onyx were somehow fucking good. Bungie world building will never be the same.
pure kino
>The elites are my favourite alien visually
then 343 came
*then reach came
That pic was my desktop wallpaper from like 2005-2008
Don't bring in the faggot that defends Halo 4/5 designs.
I get absolutely raped by controller users in eldewrito, and I'm decent when I'm on my game. The aim assist is OP
343's visual design is terrible across the board, theres very little they haven't ruined.
reach had the best
>What's your favorite part about Halo
bxr
double shot
super jump shit
stickies
you right
i came
I can hope.
its honestly insane how wrong they got halo
protheans were really fucking stupid
the forerunner design was really fucking ugly
the new forerunner tech looked ugly
they made the elites dumb looking
mcguffin shit
no flood (althought its a good thing they couldnt ruin that too)
too much focus on random human characters
tons of other shit
Its' the best Military Sci-fi out there, at least before 343i fucked everything up. All of Eric Nylund's books read like a fucking early Tom Clancy book and I love it. Also all of the equipment is a fucking /k/ wet dream, like I would fucking sell my soul just to be a ODST for 5 minutes, even if it means I die before hitting the ground.
Granted fuck 343i, those fucks can burn in hell for what they did to the UNSC design. I'm still livid at SPARTAN-IV's
Also the game is fun
I've only ever defended 343i's elite anatomy, i've never unilaterally defended 343i's visual design, which I largerly think is shit.
I don't know what you and everybody else has against me expressing my opinion and trying to make a distinction between anatomical and armor design. For fucks sake we already have mixed and matched designs between games and armor: in KI you can use H2A elites with 3 and Reach armor, for instance.
Why is it so problematic for me to note that doing the same with 4/5 elites drastically improves them?
The other user will get assmad at me for saying this, but 343's elites look alright without their armor and with better posing/animations, which is the primary reason they look awful. Reach elites have the opposite issue: Anatomically they are even less faithful to classic elites then 343i elites are, but their good armor covers it up
Pic related for instance combines Reach elite armor with 343 elite anatomy
they seem pretty generic to me. I think resistance had better aliens since i don't know why super advanced aliens would send their soldiers in as fodder.
You can stop posting the design in Reach armor. They both look awful. At least Reach didn't have horns on their heads.
i still like 1-3 elites better
the armor really bad ass
The only bad part of the MCC seems like it's going to be this one
I would play Chimera or wait for XQemu/Cxbx-Reloaded instead of Anniversary or any the botched ports
Nobody knows it's going to be a one-time purchase or if every game is a separate one
Only ever played CE and 2 to completion, Thought CE was mediocre tripe and Halo 2 was pretty good, how likely is it that I like Reach?
OBLIGATORY POST

You have 50% shit taste, so theres a 50% chance you like it.
>Didn't even bother buying 5
Visual design wise it's no better then 4, arguably worse since the hyper-organic covenant environmental aesthetics now applies to their weapons and vehicles as well. Campaoign is also even worse then 4, with worse level design, shorter missions, and a worse soundtrack.
On the other hand, the core gameplay is way improved, with the removal of loadouts, armor abilities, perks, etc; much tighter and responsive movement, aiming, and shooting, some of the best weapon balance in the series. So the MP is a lot better. Has objectively the best forge in the series too.
Sadly there's no splitscreen so the MP is online only.
>aiming
343 never fixed heavy aim, halo 5's aiming system is dogshit.
both reach and 343 have bad elite designs, anatomy wise too.
Elites are not fucking brutes
my balls dropped to this back in 04
no you dont, its on steam and the requirements say windows 7

You will need Windows 10 to activate Ultra graphics settings.
Anyone hype about the new spv3 update this month
you realize someone remade the whole thing with newer visuals as a tribute to monty oum
I totally forgot about the last few minutes of that video.
It's both much worse and way better than I remember
Are they going to make it good?
only thing to make it better is if ridley or some space pirates showed up
ye
at the start of the reach gameplay they were talking about things like fov sliders and controls being very customizable. i think these are gonna be good ports
The FOV changing is going to be meaningless if they don't let you fix the giant console viewmodels too.
No, I had no idea there was a remaster
Thank you, anons
they mentioned that as well, user. you should probably watch some of the vod instead of spewing shit on Yea Forums
>no lesbian kissing
They didn't say anything about tweaking the viewmodel. The fact that centering the crosshair just raises the gun model and does nothing else worries me.
Yea, my one friend who played 5 said the MP was good, but I really only played a lot of 2/3/Reach MP.
Wasn't there a screenshot of some dev playing on an ultrawide in the previous blog post? What did the viewmodel look like on that?

Literally just need the vertical offset to be lowered halfway from where it is and center the weapon a bit so by perspective it takes up less screen.
They haven't said a single word regarding it.
UNSC best sci-fi aesthetic overall, and #1 in terms of large ship aesthetic. literally every UNSC ships looks sweet, probably because they are all just giant guns in space which is how it should be and because MAC cannons
>a very silly and easily foreseeable problem with a very easy solution arrived at by a random Yea Forums user within seconds of it arising
I expect it to never be fixed.
the UNSC is literally
"what if the US got to put guns in rockets"
W7 received a directx update for this iirc
>the new forerunner tech looked ugly
I don't get why people say this, 343's forerunner envoirments are pretty in line with the general direction forerunner aeshetics had been progressing towards: If you compare CE, 3/4, and Wars/Reach forerunner stuff, there's progressively more and more detailing, glowy lines, etc.
4/5's forerunner stuff is just the next logical step in that progression.
>blocked in Australia
fuckin WhaT
Part of me wants to leave it as the artists and designers intended, but the QoL mods I'm spoiled by from our current PC Halo assets have me torn. Opensauce and eldew allow you to move the weapon along each axis, but the power weapons are big and block your view for a reason, right? Balance? I just don't know now bros, but i am excited for the future
This and that shoes song was always on the front page of Youtube. Back when you rated in stars instead of likes.
The game wasn't ever designed to be played with precision, so developer intent is already out the window.
>Chief punches a missile to the sky
Oum was an insane and misunderstood man
There's a definite difference in how the Forerunner aesthetic looks between the two companies. In pic related, the bottom was a version of the H2A control room they were planning on making to be more in line with how 343 does things, as opposed to the more classic-looking top, which they eventually went with.
It can be done in ElDewrito. You get sliders for weapon position.
> forerunner envoirments are pretty in line with the general direction forerunner aeshetics had been progressing towards
They looked more clean, but they certainly didn't have vibrant colors like Tron.
But that's an element of the gunplay that i find fascinating and motivated to perfect, this game's sandbox has some kind of mysterious power over me
I played the fuck out of ranked snips, i don't understand what is so satisfying about it
Yeah. Saw it too. I knew something was off when I played it and there wasn't enough blood from enemies. But he pointed out specifics and it upsets me. And LateNight is okay for a Halo youtuber. But that bar is set pretty fucking low.
>favorite part
being rewarded for precision and consistency.
try not to buy into nostagliafag narratives. halo 4's campaign and halo 5's multiplayer shows they can do good work.
You can do it with OpenSauce too.
resistance werent aliens. they were people experimented on
yes they did it was literally in the first like 15 mins of the gameplay for reach
I'm really hoping Spartan IVs experience some catastrophic losses in Infinite like the IIIs and IIs did. Ideally all of them but I doubt 343 would go that far. Nobody likes IVs. It would be the best solution and it would give ODSTs and generic soldiers more time to shine.
i disagree completely.
their armor designs look functional and robust. its as though an actual military manufacturer designed them. walking MRAPs. bungie had soldiers looking like robocop. the rest of 343's designs reflected their talent for realism.
>Realism for Halo
No, just give us a fucking art style that doesn't induce eye bleeding.
1 and 2 were peak elite. As much as I love 3 I realize the elite design was fucked for the sake of hitbox balance. A difficult decision for Bungie, to be sure. But it was still the wrong decision. The Elite armor design was great in 3 though.

Halo 4 sure was good.
Halo didn't focus on realism dumbass. They've blatantly stated that since CE. Style and fun factor over realism.
That armor looks fucking terrible lmao.
Timestamp it.
Forerunner shit was only good as something in the background of the Human vs Covenant. 343 fucked them up massively. The clean futuristic aesthetic became too dominant when combined with the bland enemies.
Is that bitch wearing a lunchbox, jesus christ.
>on pc
Why it doesn’t even work on console still
youtube.com
2 minute mark he talks about fov and weapon models
that video fails to address the multiplayer, which is dogshit compared to the original and is the worst part about the port
>defending a man that sleeps with strangers kids
Says nothing about adjusting the weapon models, just that there will be fov limits due to camera clipping.
>Snowflake Power Ranger custom armors
Fuck no.
>Alien?
Not him but
>Cortana becomes larger damsel in distress than Halo 3
Which isn't a bad thing for the narrative. Since 2001 we've known that AI in Halo have a stable shelf life of 7 years. Perfectly reasonable for 343 to go down the rampancy route. Its something we all knew should come post Halo 3. If you wanted powerful rampant Cortana you can look to the shit stain that was Halo 5's story.
>Massive Deus ex machina
How is that criticism? Its been done before in science fiction and it will be done again in the future. I didn't care for Halo 4's story but it wasn't awful either. Just mediocre. And I thought Cortana's death was powerful. Also her design was second best in the series behind CE
I should stress that I don't like 4 or 5 either. But some of your points are forced.
Is this just a shill campaign to make people forget how shit Halo 5 was so they buy infinite and fall for the same marketing speak?
>brute gf
based
I miss the simpler times too user. My headcanon still uses the fall of reach book cover representation of the Spartan IIs. Some upgraded to Mk VI of course but everything else is a bit much.
>How is that criticism? Its been done before in science fiction and it will be done again in the future.
Cortana popping out of a light bridge to trigger a QTE in order to defeat the antagonist was perhaps one of the largest middle fingers for an ending. It was worse than 2's cliffhanger.
>It was worse than 2's cliffhanger
well yea but it was the aliens who made them that way, essentially making humanity destroy itself for a loss of 0 of their own.
2's cliffhanger is a fucking masterpiece compared to that shit.
You obviously weren't born yet. Go post your alien porn somewhere else.
>Halo didn't focus on realism dumbass.
i like the new direction better.
>" I THOUGHT WE HAD A TRUCE WITH THE COVENANT"
yeah cause radial religious extremists never spin off into new groups following new leadership. never once did that ever happen.
>Spartan IV's everywhere
and technologies never advances. scientists never learn from research and find ways to make it more accessible. the military would hate that.
>Portraying Del Rio as an asshole when he's just following protocol

Halo 2 had the most quotable dialogue of the entire series.
Which was your first Halo? Glasslands? Silentium?
Seriously though, dont call yourself a halo fan if your in love with everything that killed halo. You enjoy the new direction? Congrats, your a CoD fanboy. Fucking zoomer. Halo 4 and 5 and all of the books released in 343's tenure have been worse than dogshit. So bad they somehow managed to kill the biggest videogame ip in the world. Kill yourself faggot.
hmm while i think what you said is dumb and i generally like halo 4s campaign, my first thought was "would you have rather had a cut scene." Upon which I thought of Halo Wars cutscene
youtu.be
it would have been cool to see Master Chief do something clearly superhuman. if he can deflect a missile with his hand and cortana's assistance, run extremely fast and jump high in armor, i would have liked to see him turn shit to 11 against an opponent that could take it. something that demonstrates that his breed of spartan is unmatched.
Does anyone know if they're implementing modding tools with these releases?
To answer OP's question, I adored the sci-fi and realism mix of halo 1-reach. Read multiple books and all that but those faggots had to ruin 4 and 5. Turns out fighting random AI's isn't fun. I want to fight and genocide elites, brutes, grunts, etc.
Can't fucking wait.
>Someone having a different opinion means underage
Halo 2 has my second favorite campaign (ODST being first). It felt unfinished when I first played it back in 2004. It has one of the best scores in the series, and even Blur can't compete with the cinematography the scenes displayed. However, that ending was the least kino in the Bungie era.
It can't go any lower than what 343i has produced. The only thing 4 got right was the Chief/Cortana bond, but even that became awkward by the end.
u r literally blind and retarded
I just like the world, the UNSC and UEG and its colonies seem pretty interesting, actually find the Forerunner/Halo stuff the most boring + anything post-Halo 3
I thought First Strike was pretty interesting especially liked the bit where they returned to Reach
probably elites
>Halo 2 has my second favorite campaign (ODST being first)
Alright, your not that bad I guess. Sorry I went that hard at you.
>It can't go any lower than what 343i has produced.
You overestimate 343's ability, it can always get worse.
>The only thing 4 got right was the Chief/Cortana bond
Agree to disagree.
halo 2 was empire strikes back levels of a cliffhanger done right you fucking plebs
>ODST being first
Just keep digging that hole.
yea the devs basically said theyre passing the reigns to the fans
i would expect lots of mod support
Friendly reminder that Humans=Forerunners and 343 shit is just expensive fanfiction. Pic related.
remember looking at the speed at which Covenant ships can travel through slipspace and it seemed a bit overpowered
as it would mean that Covenant could control the entire galaxy outside of human space
which also further means they could scout human systems at which a rate that the Cole Protocol would be meaningless
Empire Strikes Back's cliffhanger was kino and was designed to be a cliffhanger. Halo 2's cliffhanger was them running out of time so they cut the climax of the game. Halo 2's campaign was lore porn and fun gameplay. The ending sucked.
>Just keep digging that hole.
I don't see how ODST is a terrible game. It has a fantastic atmosphere, and its soundtrack reminded me of the more somber moments from the previous games. I wish the firefight was equally good in Reach.
I never bought a bone so I haven't played 5, but I think my biggest complaint about current Halo is the art direction, They had so much to follow off of the previous games and instead they higher some dude who has a love affair with soft rounded edges and off white to be the art director. Serioulsy what the fuck happened to the UNSC and Covenant sense of style. This dude looks like he's drawing for homeworld or some 80's sci-fi book cover. The only things I see that have the old Halo aesthetic are when he's forced to copy previous designs like the fleet book cover. That's not to say his art is bad, I like a lot of it, it just doesn't fit the established style and it looks between awful and weird translated into game. Just go look at the second level for 5 and see all these soft curves to create angles and compare it to Cairo Station.

Nah, I got my fill with my buds in highschool playing OG Halo 3 customs and some Reach. It isn't worth paying nickel and time for parts of a 10 year old video game, lol. Pic related its my face while already experiencing the fun of those games and Runescape 2 back in the day.
aren't humans in 343's world just a former antagonist of the Forerunner's who they devolved and then planned to pass their legacy onto after they were gone by editing their DNA?
I just want a release date.
my first halo was halo 1.
i read up to Cole Protocol.
literally to my left is a Reach legendary edition and a 6 foot halo 2 poster taken from a gamestop... halo 2 map pack magnet stuck to a metal shelf, halo 3 legendary helmet off to my right, and assortment of jackals and warthogs nearby. one of my monitors is on top of a broken original xbox360 with a halo 3 faceplate and side sticker.

>convoluted bullshit that no one asked for and retcons established bungie lore
More or less. What was worse than their retcon of Humans=Forerunner was their explanation of the Flood's origin. Space dust that ancient humans fed to their dogs (why) which went past its expiry date and mutated the puppers into space aids. Fucking what? The flood were meant to be almost eldritch, not expired space kibble.
Fuck I hate 343 with every fibre of my being.

No idea. Everything they've said indicates they "support" modding in a spiritual sense; they like it and want it to flourish, but they've been pretty clear they can't commit to anything specific in terms of technical support.

No, 343 designs are way overdone and have detail strapped onto them for the sake of detail. Real military designs are as simplistic as possible. The Bungie designs come closer to that vision, but even then, they're far from the mark. Look at the M1 Abrams and compare it to the Scorpion. Even Bungie's CE designs are over-done, if you prize realism over anything else. The issue I have with 343, and I assume other people dislike about 343's designs, is that they look like bad concept art, where everything is cluttered with nonsensical detail.
n-no.
the game was kino and is part of the reason 3 was the biggest hype train of all time, making it a cliffhanger was ingenious

Yeah. Last I heard Staten wrote Crackdown 3 and Marty is working on a PSVR game thats currently in limbo. I miss them too.

Ingenious is the wrong word. The cliffhanger was the right call considering the situation and was reinforced as the right call with the hype train for 3 and then 3. Its a testament to thenBungie's amazing gamemaking ability that Halo 2 and 3 were as great as they were. CE too but thats another topic. The cliffhanger was bad at the time from a narrative standpoint and made the game feel incomplete. Your eyes deceive you. Don't trust them.

then i guess you are just one of those people who hate cliffhangers no matter what.
And yeah, it was incomplete, thats kind of the point but it's easy to separate a earned cliffhanger from a bad unearned one.
Take h5 for example. If the characters did nothing the ending would be more or less the same.
In h2 if the characters did nothing, there would be no sequel, everyone would be dead.
holy shit. this had better be the reason these ports are taking so fucking long. fucking pathetic.

>Yes, they called it "Isildur's Bane"
>Real military designs are as simplistic as possible
i think i understand where you are coming from, especially with a barebones M1 Abram comparison. i dont necessarily see the military look as simplistic, to me it has to look durable, prizing function over beauty. it can be cluttered mess if it needs to be or the complete opposite, both are fine. 343 had a knack for making things look like over engineered versions of what they should be. 343's elites are likely the clearest example of this, finally looking like a threat.

which one is the jew if they both team up?
YOU NIGGERS NEED TO PRESS X
prizing function over beauty. it can be cluttered mess if it needs to be
I should elaborate further on what I said earlier: Military vehicles are as as simplistic as they can be, to achieve their goal. What is the end goal of a piece of armor, or any other detail or design choice? 343 designs are nonsensical, and cluttered for the sake of "moar detail = good" nonsense. Their visual designs fall into the same trap a lot of Japanese games fall into.
The Prophet of Regret is the jew, arbiter is the nigger that allows himself to be manipulated by the jew.

>people in thread are excited over thing the thread is about
Empire Strikes Back was a great cliffhanger. They earned that. Luke loses the boss fight and his hand. We get that he is out for the rest of the movie. Han gets captured. We learn Darth Vader is Papa Vader. And set up Boba as a miniboss in the sequel. With Vader being main boss with the ever looming possible threat of final boss Emperor.
Halo 2 has an great Arbiter storyline but when his ends then Master Chief -the protagonist that people got the game for- is left out to dry. Arbiter's cliffhanger was fine. He kills mr mohawk but still has to go after Truth. But it shouldn't have been the final level. Then after final level the player thinks something like
>oh boy I can't wait to see Master Chief's big ending
Then its just a short cutscene. "Finish the fight" is a great line but its a middle finger of an ending. But yeah its better and more earned than H5. I don't think anyone here will argue with that.
Flood vs Jews. Which would you rather destroy?
>A parasitic, hostile intelligence hell bent on destroying genetic diveristy and controlling all the universe with its manipulative tentacles seeking to dominate everything

I actually really miss the metal plates.
I’m not sure if you’re so stupid you think what you said is a counterpoint
Didn't you know that you're not allowed to be excited about vidya games on Yea Forums? If you're excited about a game then you're a shill.

No
>so do all who find themselves on the ring but that isn't for them to decide, all you have to decide is how to light it.
This is probably bait but in the event it's not the reason is probably people are excited to play things again they played when they were younger on their platform of choice. I'm sure people who have a PS4 and a PC would be excited for a Bloodborne port if they prefer to play on PC. Same thing for this.

Here's your Master Chief bro.
>unique unique unique
My ass is fucking unique that doesn't mean shit. Every random alien species is "unique" that doesn't mean they are mechanically or thematically not boring run of the mill trash.

>"Dont you leave him Sargent Major"

>But that bar is set pretty fucking low.
thank christ its not just me, i was perusing some halo content and i was baffled by the amount of just generally poor presentation i was seeing.
only picture I have is this
look much worse up close
I have dreams of the desert in Sandtrap and that one other map that's seemingly floating high above possibly the same desert. In my dreams it's sparsely filled with bizarrely shaped structures that are a mix between human and covenant architecture.
A few men fight around them, flying using mechanical enhancements strapped onto their bodies as they wield unknown plasma guns and swords.
Every time I have this dream is lasts slightly longer than it previously did; allowing me to gleam a few more seconds of understanding of what unfolds before me.
I wonder if these will end; I hope not.
Holy fuck that looks like some fan art from the squilliam collage.
I like it, not because it's realistic, but because it's easy on the mind and eyes due to its simplicity. 343 doesn't understand that adding a load of crap on screen doesn't make it look better, it makes it look messy. Personally, I'd like a mix of CE and 5 Marines, with a bit of Halo 3 tossed in. The overall simplicity of CE, the form fitting armor of 5, and the helmet and camouflage from 3.
>343 finally managed to kill this cancerous franchise
>they actually did this only to cash in on nostalgiafaggots later
it felt high tech yet roughshod last ditch cannon fodder at the same time, it was neat
kek
kino
It wasn't meant to be a counterpoint, though
i dont argue with cavemen
I can't fathom how somebody could perceive something so god damn incorrectly.
I feel like the CE armor is a bit more realistic in universe as something they may have tried. Your enemy shoots fucking super heated plasma. not bullets so a Ballistic vest probably isnt gonna stop much compared to just slapping some thick ass titanium plates and hoping it mitigates the heat enough to tank a shot or two.
>TARTARUS, CAST THE INDEX INTO THE FIRE
>DESTROY IT
>I will kill you if you touch him!
>No!
I knew this shit was in trouble when 343 got formed and they we're talking about how they hired people who didn't like Halo to help innovate on the multiplayer and story for 4. I've heard they kind of recovered from a gameplay perspective for 5 but I havent played it. Everything else still looks awful though, especially the new art style.
That's a good point. Kevlar and small metal/ceramic plates aren't going to do much to slow down or stop plasma. The big plates make some sense, even if they wouldn't be applied in exactly the same way as in CE. It does look like test/concept armor, and not a final product, due to the fact it's not formfitting.
I've never understood the hate for Halo 4. It isn't as good as 1 or 3 but it's vastly better than ODSt or Reach and especially 5. The campaign was the best since the original, the multiplayer was super addictive, it had the sexiest cortana by a landslide, and the art style was top tier. I have no idea how anybody could play a trash fire like Reach and call it a better game than 4.
>Its been almost four years to the day since Alpha Halo, Shipmaster. It's never fully healed.
>shitpv3
i'm good
What the fuck. Why did they make her Halo 4 style instead of CE?
tbf halo 4 cortana is the one thing that 343 got right and that's not a hyperbole
That's not Master Chief, don't post this again.
I was always a bit confused by how Bungie tried to tout master chief as a blank slate for you to insert into, but then gave him personality and a pretty good dry wit in the cutscenes. I guess it still worked out since Spartans are cool and it was fun to imagine being one.
I thought Halo 4's campaign was decent.
i've been sitting here for ages, star the damn match before i piss myself
4 has crap audio design, and it's visual design is distant enough from the Bungie games to upset a lot of people. The gameplay is basically the same as Reach, and that alone was the main argument against Reach. Which isn't terrible, but it's also not why people first started to like Halo in the first place. The story is fine, but the way in which it's presented, which I listed above, is honestly not that great, and even jarring if you were coming from 1/2/3/ODST. It's a disappointment to the people who first liked Halo before Reach came out.
Halo 2 was Cortana's best look, in my opinion.
>The campaign was the best since the original
What do you think of Halo these days, Bobby B?
It was, every other Halo campaign is garbage except 1 and 4. 3 in particular was fucking terrible.
please give some examples why, user
you cant spew bullshit like that in a halo thread and not explain your thinking
perhaps
Sorry man. Here's your Master Chief.
Back in my day you were not a man till you unlocked the hayubusa or what ever the fuck it was called.....BUT NOW
ITS BLOODY LOOT BOXES, THERE IS NO SKILL IN THAT.
you ever unlock the hayabusa armor user?
That's the least of their problems
I made her look okay by mistake
here's the thing, halo has always suffered from this issue where guns that feel good in multiplayer don't necessarily feel good in campaign. halo 1 and 4 had the guns with the most oomph, which, combined with the larger and more open environments, made the campaigns less of a slog. halo 2 and onward duffered from having peashooter weapons that, while satisfying to dominate someone with in MP, lacked the necessary punch to feel satisfying when shooting brainless AI. combine that with poor choice of locales and level designs, like fucking africa instead of a cool alien ring world, and you have a recipe for a bad campaign. simply put, h1/4 got weapons and campaign map design right where the others floundered. halo 3's awful nerf gun weapon set still makes me shudder to this day. go use the assault rifle in 3 again and tell me it doesnt feel like the shittiest weapon in any fps ever.
I don't believe so, your grace.
The covenant were dominating 9/10 engagements, however some humans did successfully drive them off, usually with the help of Spartans or a few genius individuals like Keys(the first person to ever win a spaceship to spaceship battle with the covenant). In terms of military usefulness vs its social structure its Elites =/> Brutes > Jackles > Grunts = Hunters. Elites are the pride of the military with the brutes breathing down their neck, Jackles fulfill unique roles are great sharp shooters, Grunts are the canon fodder, designed to protect their betters. Hunters are just a mass of wriggling worms, in terms of power they are probably the strongest but they are literally design to be literally canon fodder.
When ever humanity would mount a successful ground resistence and the covenant had no other objectives on the planet, they would just glass the planet, vaporizing the surface. They would only stay longer then they needed if there was some artifact or important piece of intelligence. Covenant won 99/100 space ship battles, completely unchallenged. They had better maneuverability, ships had better weapons and armor and were protected by a energy shields. The energy shields required 2 MACs to down it and a third to finish it off, no single ship could fire fast enough to down the shield, Pillar of Autum was a experimental ship that did have the firing capacity. So it required 3 dreadnoughts working in unison to down a single covenant ship, assuming they didn't just get killed in the process.
So they had every right to be cocky, humanity was fucked, covenant would have won if the leaders didn't literally have a death wish.
Well that's horrifying.
that alone made the campaign for halo 3 worse than halo 4?
>halo 1 and 4 had the guns with the most oomph.
what is the battle rifle?
>poor choice of locales and level designs, like fucking africa instead of a cool alien ring world.
what is the other half of halo 2?
the weapons and map designs sucking made an fps suck? I mean, yeah.
there are levels of halo 2 where you are in a covenant space station in the midst of a civil war while flood are attacking and a redux of halo ce library mission but 100x better
I haven't played Halo 4, but I agree, Halo 2 guns felt like plastic toy solider guns, Halo 3 guns felt like megablox.
But that's not even 343 confirmed he's white. As a black guy saying this, please take your white faggot ass back trandit.
the boots are pretty fine for the four model, though the rest of it defiantly needs to be redrawn, especially the helmet, or better yet just replace most of it with the reach part, make it seem a bit more futuristic and it would have been good
no, they will stick to eyes at best at least in the games, we pretty much started to get a general idea of what chief looked like for a while
We can all agree that the Reach Grenade Launcher is the most satisfying weapon to use in the entire series, right?
It could use a slight redesign to make it look less busy, but I wouldn't change anything about the way it handles.
because masterz is a fuckhead that hates bungie era halo and worships halo 4. fuck knows if he's changed since i stopped doing shit for cmt a couple of years ago.
Oh, that's a close second when it comes to taking vehicles out. I never liked the way it felt when I killed infantry with it, but I think that has more to do with me, than the weapon itself.
It definitely sounded good in H2A, but I never got a feel for it, personally.
the way stuff explodes in halo is satisfying in general
>when the ghosts start spazzing out and self destruct
I am guessing Reach will be the most popular until Halo 3
you say that like 2 doesnt exist
i really hope 2 keeps up a decent playerbase
I like the "quack" sound Ghosts sometimes make when they explode in Halo 2.
>only did that in halo 2
i dont know why they got rid of that.
according to mcc on xbox it will
fucking
TIGHT
Is anyone going to actually buy 1 game instead of the whole collection?
lmao
how does it work? are they selling MCC for 60 and you get each game as they come
or can you buy each for less money?
I think it fits somewhat, the suits are so expensive to produce so as long as its doesn't impact function or performance, they are fine with snowflake armor. Remember they aren't parading these guys around as super soliders, they are parading them around as heroes, they are building a cult of personality, they are objects of near worship, they don't die, they just go MIA. Snowflake armor builds on this cult of personality.
They said you can buy each game separately
I'm hype but all my friends from those days are MIA or normalfags with girlfriends.
Imagine letting petty office politics deprive you of one of the best musical composers in gaming. They way they did Marty was dirty.
>space kibble
Don't tell me they retconed the precursor flood origin.
That's what we said after 4
I can't believe Monty is literally dead. His face is fucking deformed and rotting and his guts are deflated and useless. He's fucking DEAD forever, sucks.
I forgot how to talk I sound like a zombie now
Bungie's downfall is what allowed evil to leak into video games. They were the last AAA filled with soul until Witcher devs got big, and there's no telling what they'll do with their money.
Once the publishers behind the scenes knew the most trusted devs in gaming didn't care anymore, politics and micro-transactions ramped up threefold.
That IS the retcon. It used to be Humans=Forerunners, then 343 comes along and makes it Space dog food.

Bu there was something about that posted on r/pcgaming talking about that exact issue. Apparently 343 is trying to fix those issues. Something about working with the team who tried to implement those fixes through mods for the original. I think it's called Halo CE: Revision or something?
because they had soul

As I said though, forerunner stuff was gradually becoming more like that anyways: 2/3 added more glowing lights and detailing then CE had, Reach and Wars added even more, etc
Reach/Halo Wars forerunner stuff had a ton of glowing lights

I know he has a reputation for being a deadly killer and once the supreme commander of the covenant's fleet but cmon now, the dude was just branded a heretic and stripped of everything. He might've been willing to hear you out since you are an elite, for fuck sake he takes what a flood monster and the dude who essentially got him fired into a consideration.

I honestly hate the idea of progression, just unlock everything from the start
mega faggot
I already spent fucking ages unlocking everything on reach in 360, I don't wanna do it again
DO IT AGAIN
horseshit
the campaign isn't awful but it's deifneterly not better then 2, 3, ODST, or Reach, and the MP is just awful. It's tolerable if you disable the loadout and ordiance shit but even then it's still the worst MP in the series.
Yes, the campaign is better then 5's, but 5's MP stomps on 4's, not only because it removes 4's CoD bullshit but also because of good weapon balance, movement, shooting, etc even relative to the classic games, though your mileage may vary on if it's new movement systems are halo-esque enough or not
I agree that 3's guns feel shit to shoot, but I think 2's are fine, especially in H2A, and Reach and 5's guns have more oomph to them then 4's.. As far as envoimrnets, CE's wide open spaces sucked because of how empty and blat4ently for padding they were, while on the flip side CE also has copy-pasted repetitive indoor spaces. I honestly think it's one of the worst campaigns in the series, only ahead of 5 and maybe 4.
