By people do you mean teammates?

Also just wait for backwards compatibility like everyone else. Is it true that it's all squeakers all vahalla all day?

Halo games are mediocre and only praised because muh exclusivity
Destiny is the proof that Bungies was never a good developer

This kid right here gets pretty annoying. Started a verbal fight with some other guy right now. Keeps saying stuff like "I'm gonna scream if I found out who took my (insert weapon).

Why wouldn't you play H3 in the Master Chief Collection?

What map you on?

Weapon-travel the guns he gravitates towards off the map if you can. They won't respawn if they're not used IIRC

>>384852003
MCC is really glitchy

>>384850996
Bungie is shit now, but Halo was a masterpiece. Campaign was really well done, in a shooter best AI personality wise and 2nd best gameplay wise after FEAR.

MP was fun and balanced, and the community wasn't the worst.

We don't deserve Uncle Phill Spencer. Only way to top this is to let OG Halo 2 join the BC program with servers back.

>giving 343 money for shitting all over the series and ruining literally every aspect that was enjoyable
no

>>384852792
but Halo 2 Anniversary has a few futuristic tweaks in it that kind of (dare I say) change the nostalgia.

Play Halo online. Look it up. Its f2p Halo 3 without microtransactions. There are like 3 servers running constantly for Americans.

But yes I'd love to see the original Halos on pc

>>384852876
MCC's multiplayer is unbearable, no clue how people suffer through it. At the very least splitscreen is a hell of a lot of fun.

>>384853024
Ohhhhhhh. I see.

>>384852884
While I adore the graphical tweaks my real gripe is that barely any of the multiplayer content was remastered, so the most of 2's multiplayer gameplay is through the shite Windows Vista port.

>>384853046
There's also Halo 3 mods for Halo Online

>>384854536
You seem knowledgable and /hg/ ignored my question, so whats the best starter? I'm guessing its the rof BR or DMR, but not sure.

Can someone share a pic of the population on Halo 3? I was thinking of getting Xbox live again to play it but I'm not sure if it will be worth it

>>384854685
Personally I prefer the BR, it's just the way it feels for me. The DMR is a bit more powerful, & precise if I recall.

>>384855068
Wait for Halo 3 to become bc on xbone in a few months. Population will skyrocket for a week, that way you'll maximize your nostalgia fill.
Yes, you can play against people on xbone if you're on 360.

>>384855264
do they have plans to make it backwards compatible?

I feel like that would split the halo community when their trying to make people play their shitty "master piece" called Halo 5

>>384855409
Its been officially confirmed.

www.express.co.uk/entertainment/gaming/829268/Xbox-One-Backwards-Compatibility-Xbox-360-games-list-Microsoft

>>384855409
Yes, it's confirmed. It's coming sometime in fall along with Halo CE Anniversary, Halo 3 ODST, and Halo 4.
>WHERE'S MUH REACH
Already bc
>Halo 2
Probably whenever og Xbox emulation is added

>>384855264
I've got hopes it'll stay high long. People all over have fond memories of it and Black Ops 2 is STILL in the most popular on Xbox Live since it was added. I hope H3 can reclaim its former popularity because holy shit it's fun.

>>384855939
It'll be in 3 stages.

Stage 1: Nogastalgia burst- this will actually be the most played game on XBLA. I'm not fucking kidding. Will last 2-3 weeks.

Stage 2: The crucible: The biggest drop in playerbase. Many will see it as dated and move on. Others (myself included) will stay with it. should still manage multiple thousands of players at all times. Should last for about a year after release, or until the release of Halo 6/New xbox.

Stage 3: Slow death
After a while, people will get bored and move on, especially with the new xbox and new halo. The game will slowly fall back into obscurity.

>>384855068
It's like 362.

>>384856426
I'll be riding all of them out as long as I can. Halo 3 is a fucking masterpiece. While it doesn't have the best campaign of the original Bungo trilogy imho, it is THE pinnacle of console multiplayer f and no one can prove me wrong.

>>384856791
*console multiplayer fps

>>384852404

>now

Same designers, same developers.

>>384856791
True that. Theres no denying its the best console MP ever made. What always baffled me about Halo 3 was how the community managed to be so good.

It's a game in which you can literally kill your teammates for power weapons, yet it has better communities than games like MOBAs that actually ban you for toxicity.

>>384856923
The main people who worked on Halo either left during Destiny's development or after it released. While DUDE THE DEVELOPER DID NOTHING WRONG PUBLISHERS RUIN EVERYTHING LMAO narratives are too common we know too much about D1's development for it to not be the exact case here. Everything shit that happened was basically all (((Kotick)))'s fault.

>>384856923
People get old, people get complacent, people lose touch, people try new things that are out of their comfort zone. It was already showing in Reach, don't see why its so hard to believe.

you'd be right if that was actually true

Kinda sad RvB became edgelord incarnate by 3. It was still mostly funny but the Freelancer storyline completely fucked up the hilarious tone of the first 2 game's machinimas.

>>384858036
I stopped watching after Halo 1. Can someone give me a quick rundown?

Also I'm not suprised, Roosterteeth itself has kinda gone down the shitter.

>>384858036
I agree. I remember back in middle school, I used to be obsessed with it. I even remember making the "We are the Meta" engraving on a table. Hell I even have that "all time best ever DVD". Looking back at it now, it was cringy. I wonder how they got Elijah Wood to voice an AI.

Instead of just keeping it a comedic show through and through RvB basically evolved into shite Halo fanfiction that's gone on for far too long. That blame can be attributed to the dumb desire to make Tex as important as possible for whatever dumb reason. It took out a lot of the comedy.
Kinda sad because I wholeheartedly think the first few seasons are some of the best comedic content ever made for the internet. It's like The Simpsons. Complete gold early on but it's clearly overstayed its welcome.

>I wholeheartedly think the first few seasons are some of the best comedic content ever made for the internet

the first ten episodes

THEN all the characters flanderize to ridiculous degrees

>>384855068
The counters have been frozen for years at this point, they aren't accurate anymore.

>>384857194
It was a product of the time.
You'll never experience a community on console as good as the one in Halo 3 back in the day. On the PC side, I don't think you'll ever see a community as good as Runescape's was in its prime.
I'm just glad I could experience the golden age of online gaming

>>384859170
The flanderization is obvious but I don't mind too much as it still kept being funny. It all went to shite for me when it started taking the story seriously.

>>384859374
Never played OSRS. Can you give me a quick rundown, because from what I heard its 90% scammers and trolls.

>>384860149
Current OSRS servers are shit and will never be as good as Runescape a decade ago.

In its prime, Runescape was fantastic.
>300k people playing on a friday night
>people running around doing quests, asking others for items for said quests, asking each other what to do on quests instead of just looking up a guide on youtube

It was a glorious game. I can't put it into words. If I could go back in time to 2004, I would waste my life away playing Runescape again even though I know it was all going to shit a few years later.
