/hg/ - Halo General

Reach is the worst game in the series, but not the point of decline.

>>147925757

The Flood were so tiring to fight. They were alright in CE sparingly (fuck the library) but they got old way too fast

Second for WZFF is comfy

>>147925674
They made some dumb decisions like not letting people derank.

>Reach worse than 4

What has this general become

>>147925982
I'm not saying that it was a perfect try, but it's a much better multiplayer than any of the Halo games that have come out in the past decade, content aside.

>>147926062
3 babbies trying to rationalize, it's nothing new

>>147926259

>Sinking to buzzwords again

You guys really are dragging this general down

>>147926062
Reach had reticle bloom, slow unresponsive movement, and unbalanced weapons.

>>147926149
343 does seem to learn from their mistakes, at least to an extent.

>>147926796
They have a pretty clear lack of direction, but they've been trying to improve the series.

>>147926374

I don't want to repeat the same arguments over and over but it still had a far superior campaign with less filler than 4s and a more satisfying end. It also had more content, better custom games and customizable options, better armour customization, far better art design for armours and environments with less lens flare and floating glowing stuff, it had a better variety of matchmaking playlists, even though it had loadouts they were less intrusive and unbalnced even though the armour abilities were worse in Reach and it overall had much better maps even though Reach had pretty weak maps.

Saying Reach had unbalanced weapons when discussing 4 is pretty ridiculous when you factor in how broken the DMR was in 4. I'd take reticule bloom over getting killed in mere seconds of leaving cover. The only thing Halo 4 had over Reachs movement was Sprint by default, they were both slow and clunky without it

>>147926374

>>147926887
>Saying Reach had unbalanced weapons when discussing 4 is pretty ridiculous when you factor in how broken the DMR was in 4.
It was less dominant in 4 than it was in Reach, despite being comparatively more powerful. Every weapon in 4 aside from the Suppressor and pre-patch BR and Carbine were strong, and had a faster TTK.

>>147926930

Literally nothing but the shotgun, rocket launcher, sniper, and DMR was ever worth picking up.

>>147926857

You obviously never played the fucking game then. Every single map with open space was ultimately fucking destoryable by the spawnable mini-sniper, with ridiculously good accuracy and firepower. Maps became fucking hide and seek, just look at Valhalla and Complex. Absolutely awful. The DMR in Reach was less dominant because it was less accurate and far less powerful

>git gud and stop positioning yourself like a retard

My 1.9 k/d begs to differ.

>>147927427
>Every single map with open space was ultimately fucking destoryable by the spawnable mini-sniper
Oh no, maps not designed to work with the game ended up being shit! Post-patch, everyone just used the BR because it was easier to land shots with and had a faster TTK.

> just look at Valhalla and Complex. Absolutely awful.
You're right, those maps are awful.

>The DMR in Reach was less dominant because it was less accurate and far less powerful
Every weapon in Reach was less accurate and powerful than the DMR.

And the DMR didn't break maps in Reach to the point where map movement was almost non existent and cover was essential. Plenty of weapons were worth using in Reach that would outclass the DMR outside of long range, the DMR in 4 was so overpowered that it would beat most weapons up close

Yeah, power weapons.

>the DMR in 4 was so overpowered that it would beat most weapons up close
It objectively wouldn't, since all of the automatic weapons had a faster TTK.

Isn't that the fucking point? Reach had barebones weapons in its loadouts, so it focussed on weapons on map

>>147928242
>Thinking it wasn't the worse game in the franchise makes me a reachfag

All you're doing is making yourself sound like more of a fucktard resorting to shitty buzzwords because you don't understand proper games design and think the DMR was not an issue in 4, even though the developers even acknowledged it and the majority of the fanbase acknowledges it. Theres a reason it isn't a base loadout weapon in 5 and why it is REQ level 6, it's broken and doesn't fucking work

>>147928867
Maybe -- probably -- but they were dormant for millennia after the Forerunners activated the Halo Array, weren't they?

Might just be that within the cosmologically tiny amount of time the Halo series is taking place, they haven't come back.

Maybe in Halo 80, a few hundred years from now (and set thousands more years in the future), we can expect a resurgence.

>>147929017
>Isn't that the fucking point?

The Spiker - you mean "Needler that doesn't have tracking projectiles and doesn't supercombine"?

Weapons ARE all the same!

I mean, the magnum was amazingly OP in Halo 1 and has remained so ever since, right?

>>147929519
No, he means the projectile weapon that has bullet drop and doesn't actually do any more damage than the hitscan weapons.

Brilliant balancing, Bungie. Typically the hard weapons are the stronger ones.

>What's the easiest playlist to rank up in?
Free For All, because there's only 6 people and the top 3 get to rank up.
Also, for some reason, if someone quits the match, as one person often will, the top 4 people will then rank up. I don't know if this is a bug or if it's intentional for some reason.

There are however a few catches to playing Free For All...
1. It's the most agonizingly annoying playlist to play. People will consistantly leech your kills and you'll often be killed by someone else as soon as you beat someone else.
2. It's going to tank your Win/Loss ratio, which you really shouldn't care about anyway, but just know that while the top 3 rank up, you need to get 1st to get a "victory"

Explain something to me, /hg/, this has been bothering me for a bit now:

How the fuck did the Humanity present even the slightest threat to the Elites and the covenant military in general?
>elites are SII-levels of roided physical ability (though without metallic implants this would destroy their bones?)
>have been attending weapons and tactics training since they could walk
>have technology that outstrips that used by humanity by centuries
>are present in numbers analogous to the total human population at the time
>still get BTFO by humans on the ground and only win in space because of their OP shielding
I don't get it, are all Elites literally retarded? What did they learn in those years of tactical schooling? How to sift sand through their fingers?

If you had as many SIIs as the covenant has elites and deployed them like elites, the war would be over in literally minutes

>Elites are as physically powerful as SIIs
literally only place that is ever stated is in Fall of Reach, and that book is very inconsistent with later portrayals of just about everything (since the author was writing it before Bungie even knew what they wanted to do with the setting)

>Elites only won in space because of their OP shields
literally false, they played your average human commander like a damn fiddle, Keyes was the exception, and he was a prodigy

Also,
>>147944819
>>147945175
I have a theory about this:

Elites only ever send their young greenhorns to the ground. The real, prestigious, attractive jobs are all in space commanding ships. Ground combat was where they sent their young, inexperienced, hot-headed members to cut their teeth and get some experience commanding Grunts.

The A and B students spent all of their time in orbit, and only the C and below students were left on the Ground, as by all accounts the Covenant treated it more like a safari than anything else, a sport. Real war was in the Navy.

Whenever an actually talented Elite puts boots on the ground (like Thel Vadam or spec ops squads), the humans promptly get their shit pushed in because they're basically fighting half-SIIs.

Anyway, I don't think there was anything specific stating this, but I think it holds up. Yes/no?

slow down cowboy. slip space for humans still takes months to years. granted the covies have always been faster. slip space isn't blink, it'll still take time to move gear. unless they have a supply train larger than your mom. however any forward thinking human would try to interrupt that chain if it's that big. so where the fuck do they get resupplied from? if I remember right they couldn't touch down on a 'cleaned' planet.

Covies do the same thing that humans do, they maintain a huge stock of planets that serve as mines/farms/lumber mills, etc. Their supply chain starts from these "supply" worlds and slipspace carries the goods around the empire. That's why the Elites had apparently forgotten how to farm, all of their agriculture was outsourced to other planets.

Also, what takes human ships weeks to travel via slipspace takes covie ships minutes, they aren't just faster, they're multiple orders of magnitude faster

I actually agree with this ranking.
Well done

Are you talking about in terms of just default settings? Because if not, you're wrong. And if you are, I'd say they tie for fourth for different reasons.

For a moment, let's say that Humans didn't secretly hold the keys to all Forerunner tech.

In this hypothetical, when the Covenant discovered humanity, after a brief conflict upon their first meeting, the Elites would most likely be impressed enough by their fighting skills to offer membership to the Covenant.

If Humanity gained entrance into the Covenant, what role would they serve in it, militarily, and socially?
>too physically weak to use as shock troops like elites/brutes/hunters
>too intelligent and slow to reproduce to waste as cannon fodder like Grunts
>no extraordinary special abilities like flight or jackal eyesight

>>147954696
They'd be more civilized Jackals, if they chose to join at all.

Flood is not very custom-friendly compared to others, but it's better than Reach Infection simply because every single Reach Infection map became about everyone getting to super high safe areas and farming kills.

>>147954696
I'd say they'd probably end up somewhere in the middle of all of them, jack-of-all trades units, basically. Could be used in command, strike units, small military incursions, pretty much anything.

they'd be doctors, people, doctors

Humans have super-advanced medical tech relative to the Covenant, and because of the Elite's stance of MUH HONOR, nobody in the Covenant wants to touch the job.

Humans would be doctors off of the battlefield, and combat medics on it.

Also, as >>147954785 said, they're good to use for Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap since they're 1000x more trustworthy than Jackals are, and can fit into small spaces/go undetected easier than the xboxhueg species the Covenant normally uses

Wait, so you're saying Flood is bad for non-default settings and maps, but Reach is worse because you're keeping it on default settings and maps?

Humanity probably wouldn't take kindly to being subservient. We always gotta be top dog. We didn't fight our way to the top of the food chain for nothing.

>>147955548
How many were space-faring and at least smart enough to take on Elites, though? The Brutes barely got out into their solar system before they nuked themselves to the stone age, the Jackals saw a good deal, the Elites were religious fanatics and trusted the San'Shyuum, and the Unggoy are just stupid Unggoyim.

>>147955306
This, humanity always strives to be at the top. There would be huge rebellions if the Covenant ever made them subjugate. But, there's also another thing that united the Covenant. Faith in the Forerunners. Humanity wouldn't take kindly to an alien species forcing them to worship an alien deity.

>>147955723
Jackals are literally kept in cages because they're rabid, mute mercenaries (until 5 happened). They're uncivilized and work in exchange for food. Many believe they don't even believe in the great journey. They just want to eat dead things.

Jackals don't just casually walk around. The "good" ones are kept in bigger cages.

>>147955751
news flash: without Forerunner bullshit (which is absent in this hypothetical because Humanity had no connection to it), the Humans would have lost the human-covie war, and lost hard

they ended up "winning" because their connection with the Forerunners caused a chain of events that dissolved the unity of the Covenant and sparked a fatal civil war. A connection that doesn't exist if the Humans are being offered membership at all

So we know from Hunt the Truth that the Storm Covenant's contract deal with the Kig-Yar is about to expire.

Should we expect jackals to be a lone faction in the future of the series? Perhaps even allied with Humanity?

>>147956176
Even without Forerunner shit the Humans were figuring out their way around the Covenant's shield tech, given enough time weapons would be invented to bypass it and then the Covenant Fleet would have a hard time glassing willy-nilly. Never underestimate the tech jumps in war-time.

>>147956395
didn't literally all of the skirmishers die on Reach? As in, that battle resulted in a complete extermination of that ethnicity?

>>147956395
Nah, would expect them to be a bunch of pirates/merchants that act on their own.

>>147956176
>>147956462

news flash

The covenant doesn't fucking exist without the forerunners

The Prophets got all of their technology from the Keyship they have in the center of High Charity, and only know as much as they do about the Galaxy because of Mendicant Bias (who tried to take off with the Keyship at one point)

At least know what you're talking about.

>>147956462
>given enough time
time they wouldn't have, because by the time of CE and 2 humans still weren't even close to creating ships that could contend with the Covenant Navy (which is why they were losing)

they only engineered a navy capable of seriously fighting the Elites during the events of 4-5, after they were safe, and this fleet is only in it's infancy

>>147956563
forerunners exist, but the supposition is that the Humans have no connection to them. Read posts.

>>147956395
Jackals are going to ally with Cortana when their storm covies deal expires. It's the safest alliance, seeing as Cortana doesn't want to harm anyone that doesn't refuse AI control over the mantel.

It would also give some much needed variety to the promethean faction, which right now is pretty stagnant and boring to fight. She may get another Covenant subspecies as well through submission.

Halo CE is the perfect FPS game. Every single aspect of the game is a 10/10

how, exactly, are Elites supposed to eat and speak without any lower jaw? Their mouth-tentacles are too stubby and bony to put food through their mouths like an octopus, and even then octopuses have 2nd alien-esque mouths to help along

>>147956720
And yet Humanity still managed to take down some of their larger ships, and Earth was a symbol and a large population center, but it certainly wasn't the last line of defense so even if it was lost Humanity would keep on going, this time with even more fervor since we lost something important.
On a side note, without the Forerunner-Human connection the San'Shyuum wouldn't really have much to do with the Forerunners either, considering their only beef with the Forerunners was because of the Human-Forerunner war.

Does arena look at stats besides w/l?
I saw someone gain rank with loss.

Shell get more than just the Jackals.
She'll get all of the covenant remnant or any ex-covies that are still religiously inclined, because they have always seen the forerunners as Gods anyway.

She'll probably get grunts simply because they're used to being bossed around/enslaved.

>>147957127
>And yet Humanity still managed to take down some of their larger ships
only by taking catastrophically large losses that would make each takedown a Pyrrhic victory that hurt more than it helped

>Humanity would be able to keep going without Earth because they had other large population centers
yeah, like Reach. Oh wait...


And the whole idea behind this thought experiment was that the Humans (sans Forerunner connection) meet Covenant, they have a brief spat like Humans-Turians in ME, and the Covies offer human membership. If they keep fighting (which is what YOU want them to do) things go very badly

It all depends on what the Covenant offered in return, because those aforementioned heavy losses aren't easily forgotten. If anything Humans would destroy the empire from the inside out.

when you really think about it, a planetary invasion, in the conventional sense of the word, is logistically impossible

>have millions of square miles of terrain to cover
>must be well-coordinated and well-supplied
>the logistical nightmare that is getting troops and supplies in and out of orbit -- it's like shipping your whole war effort via plane
>the sheer amount of troops that you'd need to deploy to cover all of this ground thoroughly enough to prevent eternal insurgencies
fuck it, just nuke it all from orbit, that shit is too much of a hassle

It's short length bugs me, but it is my favorite Halo game as far as gameplay, story, weapons and looks go.

>>147957956
the point is that you'd never get to the point of Reach or super-heavy population centers being destroyed if you accept the offer when it's first made. It's not like the Human-Turian war annihilated both race's territories, and that's a fair comparison to the scale of conflict the Covenant has typically encountered when meeting and assimilating new races

Besides Grunts, Jackels , Hunters, and Covenant Elites fighting along side the Created. I also hope we get to fight Brutes and Drones again, along with Cortana possibly fixing the Prophet's species so they can have warriors again, I hope we get to see and fight Prophet warriors in the future as well.

>>147957846
The weapons just felt far to weak and floaty to me
Vehicles had zero weight and mass to them, and were tossed around by small arms fire
And the sounds the weapons made were kind of pathetic

Overall I think Halo 3 has the weakest gameplay in the entire series. Even 4 and 5, while having dumb storylines, had better feeling and sounding weapons than Halo 3

>>147958387
>I hope we get to fight Drones again

None of these were issues at the time. No disrespect but you sound like someone who didn't play it until after its prime, or played it after playing later titles.
