Point and laugh at him

I suppose we should expect a temporary surge in PC players in the general?
Much like when the Windows 10 version of Halo 5 released?

The thing you need to know about the physical editions is that the Xbox Physical edition does NOT feature play anywhere, meaning you can't play the game on PC or Xbox, only on Xbox.
The PC physical edition is essebtially just the digital edition again. You install it ince then you can play it anywhere without the discs, and the discs and box essentially then become useless to you outside of being there for your collection.
Note that the PC ohysical version does not retail in the states, you would have to order it from the UK.

If you really want a physical version AND play anywhere, you should get the PC physical version, but it isn't the same box size as Xbox games (PC games use DVD sized cases, Xbox and PS4 use blu ray sizes) and doesn't have the green spine.
So unless you have a lot of PC games, it would look out of place on yiur shelf
granted, the H5 limited edition already does

True

Halo 5 was garbage.

They need to follow Chuck Heston's lead and have the Chief blow it all up, hopefully killing off the franchise.

Unfortunately it will limp on for decades, until the reboot fails, then it gets repooped another decade and change later.

The overwhelming majority of the base agrees with that.

It's 04-C.they launched the ring off because they said it would teleport somewhere near reach. Which is where the original 04 ring was.

>>168511182
You mean Halo 5? At least Halo 4 launched feature complete.

>>168521928
I enjoyed 4 and had a lot of fun with the Suppressor in multiplayer. Dominion and Big Team were lots of fun.

4 felt somewhat like CE to me (not meant as a slight to the rabid CEfags), but it was a set up that went absolutely nowhere in 5

I don't think 4 was good, more like ok.
5 was just flat out shit in the campaign aside from like two and a half levels and while I like Arena a ton, many of the maps blow (visually), the removal of full customization, dumb rng, really soured me on the whole thing.
The worst part is that it sound like there's a great game underneath H5, but maybe rewrites and incompetence at the top fucked that shit up.

The sales say it all, really, even between 4 and 5. MCC destroyed a lot of trust.

>>168523139
I wish I could be excited for 343 games anymore. I wish I could be excied for Bungie games anymore.

;_;

What pissed me off about Halo Wars 2 is Red Team gets their ass kicked by Atriox and then later own Jerome slaughters all these Elites and Brutes single handedly on the Banished Assault Carrier. Why are they so inconsistent when it comes to Spartan strength?

>>168523604
They were caught off guard when they first met Atriox whileSpartan We Waz was prepared

>>168523505
I agree with pretty much all of this

>>168523604
It's lazy writing.
One of the most characteristic aspects of bad writing is introducing a new character by having him suddenly wreck house with established characters. But then you still need the others to look good so they can come back and win later. Literally RWBY tier writing.

>>168523604
Atriox is a gorilla dick nigga, he got fat gorilla mindset.
But really though, Atriox is basically King Brute in terms of strength.

>>168523469
Yeah and it's "complete features" were absolutely garbage

>>168523938
This.
It's lame when writers try to establish a new character as "oh so superior and hyper evilllll" by just having him show up and win while smirking the whole time. It's rather edgy.

I just completed the campaign, (my copy was delivered early)

And I've gotta say it felt a little bit "rushed"? I don't know the correct word. It didn't feel very complete, story-wise.

Didn't they say that there would be DLC campaign? Also is there a legendary ending

They are both monumental disappointments for different reasons. Comparing them to each other is a waste of your time on this Earth.

>Is this the cycle at work?
If Halo 4 emerges victorious, even slightly, then it's absolutely the work of the cycle.

Campaign: H4 > H5
MP: H4 < H5
This should be obvious.

>>168524102
>>Precision weapons have ridiculously long range capabilities

>>168524286
H5 multi > H4 multi

>>168524102
>ADS on every gun

Blatantly false, physically aiming down the sights is only on a very small portion of the base (non attachment) weapons. And even then, when you consider the attachment variants, much more of those are instant scopes than ADS.

H2BR, H2 Beam rifle, sniper, DMR, binary rifle, Hydra, rockets, splaser, and probably more that I can't recall have the classic zoom. Then the others like the autos have a weird holo-zoom thing, which is actually the one that functionally performs like ADS as a mechanic, because it tightens the spread, while the others do not.

>>168524423
>>168524427
>2 seconds
wew

>>168524456
Zoom on autos is heresy and should be removed in H6 desu.

>>168524423
>>168524427
Mozt people don't like 5's multi. It doesn't matter if it's seen as better than 4's.

>>168524427
>>168524423
And 4's multi > 5's camp

I can at least have fun in 4's multi

>>168524456
The weapons that have ADS make up the majority of the playtime most people will have. Everyone starts with either a pistol or BR and then goes for a BR or carbine.

So the sniper having traditional zoom doesn't rectify this issue because your time with a sniper is insignificant in comparison.

Also, I might add that the sniper originally had ADS and they removed it after the beta due to bitching.

Most people don't like 4's campaign.

I liked the gameplay in most of the Sanghelios levels. And the story.

And as for the Genesis levels, I only mean reunion and the second one, not the last blue team one on the big straight line bridge.

I would say that you are wrong with Spartan Ops story being good, but honestly I only remember the Janus Key, Halsey's arm, and Requiem destruction.

>>168539684

Never said it was good, but the story it setup could've been great, along with what Hunt the Truth was doing.

Imagine Halsey and Jul vs UNSC. Chief distraught over Cortana's death and Halsey's betrayal, so he decides to seek out Halsey with Blue Team, having them go AWOL. ONI freaks out and sends Osiris after them, giving us and ODSt style "follow the trail" campaign, replaying what Blue Team did every time you find a clue. Ends with emotional fallout between Blue Team and Halsey.

I mean, this trailer certainly does not represent Halo 5 at all.

>Didact might show up again and have an alliance with Blue Team to remove Atriox/Cortana and her gang of AI flunkies.

If the Didact comes back, he'll be one of Cortana''s goons. In the Escalation comics, Blue Team investigates the disappearance of Spartan Black from the Halo that Ivanoff Station was floating around in Halo 4. Blue Team finds them all slaughtered and the Didact comes out and tries to kill them. He had returned to that Halo because it has a portal to the shield world where all the Composers are made (because apparently there are multiple Composers; they can each only hold so many digitized people) and he wants another one to try and finish his job of fucking up Earth.

Cue chase to shield world and the Didact being torn apart as he's digitized by all the Composers on the planet at once. Presumably he's in the domain somewhere, which means Cortana can make him her thrall.

Hell, maybe he already is. Maybe he's the Warden Eternal.

What if cortana was the didact all along?

>>168540581
Nah, they just took completely different directions in Halo 5 than what was originally planned.

Thorne was supposed to be on Osiris instead of Buck and perhaps the Janus Key could have played a role. Instead they went with Evil Cortana and tied up all the loose ends of Halo 4 in the Escalation comics.

Wonder what happened to the Janus Key? Fireteam Majestic? The Didact? The main tribe of Covenant loyal Brutes from Halo 2/3? Read the Halo: Escalation comics.

Honestly, I'd be fine with something batshit like this.
Honestly, they could've gone a long way towards saving 5 by making The Warden just using some facsimile of Cortana, but NO she was using him. stronk AI that she is.
My biggest issue is that it goes against her development. She got past rampancy, maybe getting slipspace'd tweaked her a little bit, but MUH Cortana would never go full tyrant.

Don't quote me on this but you might have to double check on that. None of the previous "Play Anywhere" titles asked for Gold but i saw a Halo Wars 2 Q&A with an ambiguous response about this.

Tbh, this would have been really cool.

Main Campaign follows Blue Team and their stuff.
Supplemental SpOps (optional matchmaking) that you should play before each in order to get the whole story use the same maps (asset retention/cost saving). It's YOUR SPARTAN/a veteran(or team of veterans) from Requiem campaign that has to find Chief.
Better than some OC and the donut squad.

>>168544019
I disagree, i thought it was pretty fun for a single playthrough in co-op, especially if you played them back in the day. Waiting for a new episode each week and the speculation/theories on /hg/ were pretty damn great.
It would have been even better with less missions and more variety but yeah, as a Firefight replacement was pretty boring.

>>168544315
It was a waste of resources. Story was dumb, characters were forgettable outside of Jul, missions were repetitive and boring.

Most people only bothered with it because it was fast xp. It would have been better to put the time and money towards something different, like having a small team work on an actual expansion or side project. As side mission or something tacked on to Halo 4 I guess they could be fun distractions but they placed too much importance on them.

Hello I've never been here before

Is Halo Wars 2 going to be good? I just found out about it a few minutes ago. I fucking loved Halo Wars 1, I played the shit out of it, it was much easier than Starcraft which is too hard for me because I'm retarded but I still liked blowing up bases. Is it going to be very similar to 1? Did they change/add significant gameplay features?

I tried reading the thread to see people's opinions but people were just arguing about Halo 2 vs. 4 or calling each other cucks.

>>168553858

Is the Season Pass important? The item description says "New Leaders" which SOUNDS important, I don't want some shit version where I can't play every strategic option. Extra packs or whatever I don't care about.

>Is the Season Pass important? The item description says "New Leaders" which SOUNDS important, I don't want some shit version where I can't play every strategic option. Extra packs or whatever I don't care about.
It's just DLC factions with mostly the same units but maybe a few different strengths and weaknesses each.
Think fighting games. If you just buy the main game and opt out of the DLC characters, is it really that big of a deal? Of course not.
>I don't own an Xbox, I would only be playing it on PC.
That's the best way to play it so you're making the right decision.

The Ultinate Edition is $20 more than the regular edition. The ultimate comes with the season pass and 4 days of early access. If you think it's worth it, get that one, otherwise I reccomend you check out CD Keys here:
https://slickdeals.net/f/9762155-halo-wars-2-pre-order-xbox-one-pc-digital-download-40-90-or-less?src=pdw

They appear to be selling the base game for $20 off.

Okay keep in mind I'm a dipshit who doesn't know anything about Xbox or Halo, so please double check my source. I don't know how reliable this site is.

I'm trying to find something official from Microsoft but I haven't found anything yet.

People like you give me hope for humanity. You actually did your part as a consumer to do research before buying. I actually didn't notice this (and I should have) and I already pre-ordered since I only have Windows 10 and not an Xbox. I'm going to cancel it now.

>>168556234

Reddit is saying it's probbly a type and it should be free like GoW and Forza.

>>168556408
If it was free they should've fixed it. Now they're 9 hours too late and they lost my money.

>>168556408
Someone call them! Or something! Fuck!

I do want to play, I've been hyped for a long time, but if this Gold thing is true then no way.

>>168555647
>online
Why wouldn't it have live?
Still dumb.

>>168556408

Wew

>>168549562
The Atriox figure is small and trash, and one of his arms doesn't artictulate well.
The red team figures reuse the chest armor from Halo Legends Chief and Fred.

>>168556941
Really now.
Interesting.

I had thought megablocks were considered a more premium alternative to legos.

>>168556684
Can always wait a day to see if it's true.
>>168556754
Sketch might respond here

>>168556896
343 uses it more than waypoint to interact these days so it's unavoidable.

>>168557180
>reddit is unavoidable
Reddit is ALWAYS avoidable

>>168557180
Reddit is cancer incarnate.
It is never worth frequenting or using. No matter the reasoning.

>>168557216
>>168557280
How old are you?

>>168557424
You have to go back.

>>168557424
26 and iv'e been on 4chan longer than you have.
Literally everybody pre-2010 knows reddit is the sphincter of the web.

>>168557424
>people on 4chan using reddit
>people on 4chan defending reddit
This is one of the saddest moments ive ever seen on this site.

>>168557524
And yet it's the best and fastest way to see 343 responses.
>>168557587
Sorry I'm not autistic enough to avoid checking Halo subreddit when something is fucked up since 343 is probably going to respond there.

>>168557682
>Sorry I'm not autistic enough to avoid checking Halo subreddit when something is fucked up since 343 is probably going to respond there.
At least tell us you use cached pages.

>>168557682
Nobody cares what you do on your own PC.
Just don't post reddit on 4chan.
Cmon man people that have been here a week know this rule.

>>168557797
I see it the same as waypoint.
You remember when you had to post on reddit to get req refund?
I don't care anymore about website wars I just use what's useful.

Shut the fuck up autismos, the only important thing is the answer to the Xbox Live Gold question, not retarded website wars

>>168557947
Then get the hell out of 4chan you newfag piece of shit.

>>168557947
It's really more about 4chan as a site than just Halo.
To see people actively defending reddit for ANY reason whatsoever now really shows how far things have fallen.

>>168558040
>>168558095
To be fair, old 4chan died about 3 years ago.
It was a combination of /pol/ overtaking /b/ as the most prominent board and moot subsiquently throwing in the towel.

Newfags on 4chan now are no different than people on any other social media site. Notice how the memes you see don't originate here anymore. They get taken from elsewhere. It used to be the other way around.

TL;DR internet globalism

>>168558040
>>168558095
>can't tell difference between browsing reddit and using it for specific things
If scanlator only posted on reddit I'd use it for that too. Autists.
Enjoy your regurgitated Halo info from people who check reddit.

>>168558303
Again.
We can't stop you from using reddit, but we are going to request that you stop acting like a 15 year old using this site for the first time and respect the age old rule of not linking reddit to this site.

>>168558303
Then just say "I saw on reddit".
Don't actually post it here.
You woeuln't post MLP here just because they made a halo reference would you? Of course not.

>>168558285
Old 4chan lives on in most boards actually, it's just some of the major ones /pol/, /v/, /tv/, etc. have been lost to 1995+ babbies.

>>168558670
This.
/b/ ironically is actually the best it's been in a while because it actually has less newfag filth than some of the other boards do now.

>>168558508
That's retarded, don't click the link if you don't want to.
>You woeuln't post MLP here just because they made a halo reference would you? Of course not.
I'd post a link if I thought majority of /hg/ would be interested, but I can't see that happneing for MLP and Halo.
I think most would interested in knowing if it's a typo.
>>168558734
>using /b/

>>168558803
>"i'd post a link (to MLP) if I thought the majority of /hg/ would be interested"
Kill yourself

>>168558803
>i shouldn't have to conform to the standards! The site should be free to all!
Literally the 4chan equivalent of a beaner-loving liberal

>>168558803
It's absolutely disgusting to me that people like this exist.
Oh how this site has fallen

>>168558895
If 343 was going to respond to important thing on MLP forums I would post link.
>>168558983
Did you not look at Trump's AMA on reddit?

>>168558803
I've been saying we need to remove /vg/ for a while now and this only further convinces me.
This shit simply would not fly on 9/10 boards.

>>168558983
>admits he's a /pol/ poster

Aaaaaand done. Thanks for admitting you're a newfag.

>>168559187
>projecting
/pol/ is one of the worst boards on this site. I don't frequent it, but it's light years better than plebbit.

>>168557048
Really, because for me megabloks have always been the low-quality Lego knockoffs

>>168559187
Where did he say that?
I'll wait.

>>168559123
Vast majority of hobby boards wouldn't give a shit if you posted a link to specific important news on reddit.
If Miyazaki posted some controversial shit on reddit people would post it on /a/.

>>168559187
>not realizing that reddit and neo-/pol/ are the same people
Trump is one of the best things to happen to America and THE worst thing to happen to 4chan. Bar none.

>>168559402
>Vast majority of hobby boards wouldn't give a shit if you posted a link to specific important news on reddit.
Please stop pretending like you know what you're talking about.
>If Miyazaki
Holy shit confirmed ulta newfag.
