And? Are you really this autistic that you care this muc about when a thread gets made? How does that effect you as long as he doesn't link it early? Why are you so fucking triggered by something so pointless?

He made his thread at 10:56 PM EST

So not only are you wrong, you have trouble counting as well.

>>147487072

Forge World had a lot of freedom to it, even if you were just using teleporters on maps to transport people to different areas for different segments. Forge Island in 4 was pretty nice as it also had a nice, massive space to Forge in. Forge World just had the benefit of being a beautiful Forge piece with prebaked terrain.

Would be nice to have a similar canvas in 5. When I spawned on hg island it still felt a bit cramped flying around in a wasp. You would think they would have massively updated the resource limit with the xbone but it doesn't seem to be the case as people still seem to run out or get close to running out. There is no excuse, as time goes on resource limits should be increasing and naturally maps should be either getting a little larger or at least matching previous titles in size. Whether you think it is a waste of space and time is irrelevant, it's just giving people more freedom and that's what's important. So what if people just like driving or flying about? The game isn't just catered to you.

Older maps are just not comparable and your salt in these posts is both funny and irritating. It's almost as if there are years between games and later maps had a lot to base themselves on and improve on as Forge became more and more popular.

Foundry was the first Forge map. They gave a straight ass box for people to Forge in and some new toys. Sandbox they gave you 3 different areas to forge in and with Reach they gave you a much larger area with multiple different terrains to forge on and big new features. Halo 4 gave us multiple different canvases with different visuals but they were much smaller, they fixed this by releasing Forge Island which was actually great. Comparing what we have now to what we had then is retarded.

>>147488031
I think so. I'm in agreement with you. The only armor sets I like are the Helljumper and Vale sets. I don't play as much so I have to make do with trash tier stuff.

If a helmet could be buck-toothed and have fetal alcohol poisoning, it's Nightfall. And the chest is just nothing but belts and two tiny shoulderpads. It's actually less armored than most 343 armors. All, really.

See I agree that helljumper looks nothing like ODST, but Nightfall is terrible. It's like a Chinese knockoff. Nothing is proportioned correctly and it looks soooo bad.

The solution is to not wear either and hope they add a proper ODST set

>>147490434
Boring, I know.

>>147490559
Helljumper helmet looks much closer to ODST than Nightfall.

As for the Helljumper armor, keep in mind it's not supposed to be ODST, it's Gen2 Spartan IV armor that Buck has modified with some ODST pieces.

It's a mobile game that was ported to Xbox. The edges are cut off because it's supported to be a tablet training excercise. On the mobile version, you touch the edge of the screen to bring up certain options.

Everybody hold up.

Why did 343 decide to take the audio clip of the Gravemind saying "we exist together now, two corpses in one grave" from Halo 3 and copy it into the Halo 2 level "High Charity" for the MCC re-release?

Did anyone else notice this?
It definitely was not there in the original release or the Vista release.
Please tell me I'm not crazy.

>>147501000
I can DEFINITELY see that. Jesus Christ they always reminded me of gears of war.

The design process for all the covenant is "let's take this alien, and make it big and scaly and strong and scary looking"

Fuck that makes me angry. Nothing worse than an entire faction of generic evil-looking aliens VS the unique designs they all had before.

>>147501462
As a halo game, the metroid prime aesthetics are really bad. Don't fit in well at all, and I still dislike them.

But on their own, they are nice, i can appreciate them. I like the promethean's designs if they weren't supposed to be forerunner robots. I like the spaceship aesthetics with all the orange holograms and pipes. I like the jungle and environments.

Halo 2 anniversary is how a modern halo game SHOULD look.

Very occasionally, Soldiers will hijack ghosts.

I didn't know it was a thin myself until it happened earlier tonight.

>>147502165
Sometimes i'll spawn ghost ultras and give them to soldiers because it's fucking hilarious to watch them wreck the teammates. Occasionally they jump out for no reason but then you just get them to hijack it again.

They already take a full BR clip to kill on WZFF, so in a ghost they're even worse. It's great.

The pinnacle of forerunner art was definitely halo 3. It looked advanced, but also aged, and almost temple-like.

Then in halo 4 everything just turned into white and gray plastic with glowing lines and random floating bits. I hate the floating bits, they're so fucking stupid.

Oh yeah, these things and Warden Eternal really piss me the fuck off as well.

>ancient war robots that speak English
>ancient war robots that speak English VOCALLY and with moving mouths

Robots don't need to speak out loud to communicate, especially not in their fucking enemie's language.

Almost as retarded as when 343 said you couldn't understand the covenant in halo 4 because the suit's translator was broken, but then said that you could understand the didact because your suit translated him.

Why on earth you'd design war machines to speak their enemies language and yell out "HUMAN SPOTTED. ENGAGING" in a generic robotic voice to give away it's position.

>>147503815
Maybe its just translating.

>>147503713

>>147503902

>>147503863
That's not even the point. Robots shouldn't need to speak out loud to communicate. It's slower than digital communication and serves no purpose.

I don't even know if it was translated would make it more or less retarded, either. Why would translation software simulate the robotic voice of a robot enemy.

>>147503574
They do, which is weird since the prometheans operated on a hivemind last game.
Then again, if 343 made a game with the Flood in it, they'd probably make them talk too.

>>147503982
You got to remember the Prometheans weren't always in the forms we see now.

>>147504058
Technically they do

When the gravemind speaks to you in halo 3, that's not just a voice appearing in your head. That's coming from all the nearby flood forms, or the fleshy walls of the ship.
>>147504075
Like other anon said, none of the prometheans in 4 needed to speak.

I still want to know why there was a shift in direction for Halo 5. First we had the trailer with chief in a cloak, then a few pieces of concept art featuring it in scenes that never happen. I want to know why a decision was made to change the direction of H5 and if Cortana was really meant to die in Halo 4. It just doesn't add up. I know the simple answer is to blame it just on 343, but I want to know why. We knew what changed the direction of H2's development and story, I want to know what changed with H5.

'lore excuses'
whatever mate
call me back when you have the 'lore excuse' for why literally every enemy in bungie's halo speaks english

>>147520864
But both the Mauler and Focus Rifle were pretty good. I'd accept your statement if you listed garbage like the Spiker and Plasma Launcher.

>>147520857
How does it make sense to use your enemies language in combat?

>>147520982
the mauler was only good when dual-wielded, on its own it was inferior to the standard shotgun
the focus rifle was good but it wasn't useful for its intended purpose as a sniper rifle, thats what i meant

>>147520992
The point of the Prometheans under Cortana's rule is to police the galaxy.

It makes sense for them to speak English therefore in case they need to give orders.

>>147520992
the didact spoke english so really the prometheans should have spoken english from the start considering they used to be humans

>>147521080
The Mauler was good for maps where a regular Shotgun would have been overkill.
As for the Focus Rifle, always disregard the developers' intentions and such.

>>147520964
So we the viewer can understand.
Only 343 feels compelled to make up asinine lore reasons for things. See
>nanomachines
>sub-species
>cortana reprogramming promethean to speak english in combat

>>147521161
There's no reason for them to be communicating audibly in combat in english.
She can reprogram chiefs armor and she can reprogram all the Promethean but she can't give them some sort of secure communication channel while also allowing them to give commands in English when necessary?

>/hg/ hates Reach.

Not exactly, there are a few really vocal haters but the majority of people I've spoken to think its a decent game

>>147508667
Cortana was inside the controls though...

>>147521284
>nanomachines
the armour change between halo 3 and 4 was bullshit, true, but are we forgetting the huge change in aesthetics between halo reach and halo 1? considering they take place minutes apart?
>sub-species
343 weren't the first to completely alter the biology of the covenant, between reach, halo 1 and halo 3, every covenant species is altered
>language changes
so why do the covenant speak english in the arbiter missions in halo 2?
why does the gravemind speak english?

You're looking too far into it.
She decided to make them speak English. So they do.

You're getting too specific. It's like asking "how does the chief pick up guns with his feet?"

At least Reach had Invasion

>>147521973
Why are you opening up this can of worms?

>>147521973
Literally the only thing Reach has over the other games.

>>147521534
This is exactly my point.
Bungie made numerous changes to species, armor, etc. Bungie had aliens all speaking english. But they never used goofy lore justification for changes, they just did it. When they did use lore it was generally well done like changing armor at the start of Halo 2.
In contrast 343 has compulsion to justify changes with silly lore hacks. I think nothing makes it more obvious than their obsession with having multiplayer be in-universe simulation. Of course this makes no sense half the time with goofy pizza and hcs skins.

That's not to say you can't do a good job explaining game mechanics etc using lore for example original Assassins' Creed explained things like respawn, checkpoints, and map boundaries using the Animus. But this was a fairly well thought out lore device and narrative was built around it. 343's goofy lore justifications aren't as well thought out and it puts them in awkward middle ground.

>>147521854
See above, that's my point.
In my opinion simply having them speak english with no attempt at a lore justification would be much more palatable. If they did that you could just chalk it up to "it's a game". When 343 provides half-baked reasoning it they prevent that.
>It's like asking "how does the chief pick up guns with his feet?"
No it's like if 343 made up some stupid in-universe reason for that.

>>147522087

>Why are you opening up this can of worms?

What can of worms? He said hg hates Reach, which isn't true

>>147522142

Not the only thing but Invasion really was great, wish they could have built on it in later games

>>147521973

What is Warzone Assault?

>>147522149
> 343 has compulsion to justify changes with silly lore hacks
If they didn't, you would complain about them changing stuff without reason or explanation.

Fuck off, you don't get to speak for all of /hg/. Reach is easily the most hated Halo after 4 and this is a fact.

>Fuck off, you don't get to speak for all of /hg/
That's no way to talk to your king
>Reach is easily the most hated Halo after 4 and this is a fact.
Yeah, no. And I'm no fan of Reach, but it's a far more popular game than 5, Wars, Assault, Strike, and Online. That's a fact.

>>147522358

>What is Warzone Assault

Not even comparable. WZA has 3 stages, that is all. Invasion had objectives and more weapons and vehicles would become available depending on if your team was able to advance to the next phase

>>147522483

>Fuck off, you don't get to speak for all of /hg/

And you do?

>Reach is easily the most hated Halo after 4 and this is a fact.

I'd say 5 is pretty much equally as hated as reach

>>147522383
>implying
No I wouldn't. I didn't complain when bungie did it and I don't complain about all the changes 343 did. Change is fine as long as it's not for the worse, I don't mind their version of shotgun and smg for example. I did dislike rocket launcher change but that was because spnkr was iconic weapon not because I hate all change.
I wouldn't mind 343 elites (except they're kind of ugly imo) but the subspecies explanation is just retarded.

AssCreed animus is good example of lore justification, Crackdown Agent cloning is another. 343's nanomachines, subspecies, and simulation is not.

>>147522614
I'm pretty sure WZA has faaaar more weapons available due to reqs than Warzone ever dis

>>147517313
I own that.
bought it a long time ago.

the thing is/was a Monster.
you can spin the Nozzle to control the output.
The Biggest and Second Biggest destroys people.

>>147522597
>but it's a far more popular game than 5
For campaign maybe, pretty much everyone agrees that 5 kicks the shit out of Reach in terms of gameplay, multiplayer and forge. Those spin-offs don't count give me a break.

>>147522614
>I'd say 5 is pretty much equally as hated as reach
I guess reachfags just woke up.

>>147522794

That's no where near what I was saying. I was talking about the differences in how they played. In WZA you can get power weapons and vehicles without having to push and secure bases whereas in Invasion you were stuck with the loadouts you had UNTIL you successively captured the bases and pushed forward.

>>147522614

Just adding on to my rambling. Reach is possibly not even equally as hated as 5 really, considering how many people salivate over Reach content being added to the game. People still despise 5 because of how it launched, the focus on REQs and reskins over proper consistent content and how it is still missing gametypes which are staples of the franchise

5 has had the benefit of being able to build on what the initial product was, even if it really hasn't completely negated the overall negative vibe it generated. Bungie never really had the ability to do with outside of map packs but some would claim they never had to content wise

>>147522483
In terms of hateness I'd put 5 above reach.
It introduced micro transactions and had the worst campaign by far.

>>147523137
>micro transactions meme
Still miles better than paid DLC map packs.

>>147522776
what exactly is so bad about the subspecies explanation?

Why is life so unfair /hg/?

>>147523243

>Still miles better than paid DLC map packs.

I wouldn't be too bothered really if they didn't interfere with the actual gameplay. I'm not a fan of having a bunch of shit locked behind randomized packs. I think it would be better if they came up with a more creative way, although people would still be pissed if it was cosmetic only because of how long it can take to get armour you want from packs. Obviously they won't though, because it's easier to do what they're doing now

I think if Bungie continued to do what they did with the Heroic map pack paid DLC wouldn't be as bad. You can pay around £8 for a new map pack and play on release or wait 3-6 months when it becomes available for free to not split up the player base in the long-term and prevent people from playing the maps they bought. Maybe giving people an exclusive cosmetic reward for paying for the maps would be some incentive and stop people from whining

>>147523243
I disagree. Micro-transaction system is main profit so it ends up infecting entire game and getting majority of focus.
The supposed boons of free content funded by it have been mostly additional req chafe or content involving reqs.
The biggest exceptions being infection I guess, which should have been in since launch.
We didn't even get any non-forge BTB maps lol.

>>147523480
>I wouldn't be too bothered really if they didn't interfere with the actual gameplay.
They only interfere with Warzone, and don't affect anything else at all.

>>147523270
>what exactly is so bad about the subspecies explanation?
It was made by 343

>>147523498

Exactly, the free content is paid for by microtransaction and they've made a shit ton from packs. I think they said they were donating "a portion" to HCS and they donated a million bucks.

What really needs to be asked is, is the content you're receiving really worth it considering how much they're making and the fact they're stuffing the game full of even more REQs for people to buy? Definitely not.

>>147523552

>They only interfere with Warzone

And firefight. I can't imagine playing it being a lower level

>>147523702
>And firefight.
Which is Warzone.

>>147523480
>>147523498
I didn't express myself correctly. Microtransactions DONE RIGHT are miles better than paid DLC map packs. The way they were implemented for H5 has a lot of flaws and felt a bit rushed.

If Halo 6 releases with the content H5 has now (score attack, firefight, forge, customs, theater, file browser) and then adds microtransactions and the same free monthly updates on top that, then you have a perfect post-release system you can't argue about.

>>147523729

I thought you were referring to Warzone specifically but point stands either way. The 3 most popular playlists revolve around REQs, the REQs actually do interfere with the gameplay. It's not exactly as bad as pay to win games but it's not great. Needing a card to use a weapon or vehicle that usually spawns on maps sounds pretty ridiculous when you think about it. Imagine someone saying this years before 5 launched

>>147523959
I would be outraged if there was no other option, but regular Halo still exists just a menu selection away on either side.

>>147523959
You're completely right, i wish they added some classic playlists without all that shitty REQ stuff. That would definitely improve the game.

>>147523270
It hardly makes any sense?
Why would every elite we see suddenly be from some heretofore unheard of subspecies.
We visit elite home world and see Arbiter and everybody is new subspecies?
A visual change to the elites with no lore justification is better than some half-assed one that falls apart given a second's thought.

I think the new smg looks really cool and better than H2 smg, I don't need some explanation about how it's a different model smg and you only see that one because the UNSC decided to change contracts so they got rid of the old smgs. Just make the change.

I'm criticizing what I feel are uneeded lazy lore explanations for changes which ends up being worse than just making the change.
