haha nice one. once again demonstrating that le circlejerk shitposters don't actually know what a circlejerk is.

also I don't think mongoose is even in the discord so you'd have to stop shitposting about le discord cancer if you want to label this as *the* circlejerk. But of course you won't do that so I'm not sure why I bother anymore.

Beta was better visually but I prefer the current gameplay and options such as being able to turn spartan chatter off

They also tuned things down like medals and Spartan charge and annoying noises.

The one thing I really wish though, is that they had brought the classic Shield down noises from halos 1-4, the new one is way too beepy and annoying and there's no reason to completely change it

(Same could be said for energy sword, plasma rifle, banshee, and ghost noises)

>>150590327
>Beta was better visually
Nope. Not even there was it better.
It was 720p and the frame rate was ass.

>>150590327
Some of the coloring I liked more in the beta. But visually overall? Release version is infinitely better. Beta is capped at 720p and has abysmal AA

>>150590158
You're early.

I'm probably the only one but I legitimately like current visuals more than the beta. Especially the armor, it looked like a shitty version of H4's already shit armor, way to plasticy.

H3 looked a little plasticy due to graphical limitations, there's no excuse for a game to look even more like that now and I'm glad they changed it.

You mean this? Yeah, most of the information we have suggests that the assets were done long before they shipped.

>>150590379
>>150590445

The lighting was insanely better

The guns would all reflect the environment, when your shields burst they would light the walls up yellow and cast shadows, it was gorgeous

>>150590540
I like the art direction more in the beta but the release Berlin is easily still better simply for technical reasons (60 fps, AA, 1080p)

>>150590606
>The lighting was insanely better
I completely disagree.
Everything was way too bright.
The Prophets bane literally blinded your screen

>>150590650
It's not 1080p it's adaptive and usually hovers around 800p

It only hits 1080p during the elevator/loading doorways in campaign

>>150590757
So still better than the beta? got it.

>>150590548
>What was the point of ever getting in the turret on burial mounds?
To combat the warthog

>>150590812
His point is that that it's not a true 1080p game.
Not mentioning the beta.

You're objectively wrong. Maybe a few things needed tweaking, but The lighting was MUCH more dynamic, go look at any footage. You can dislike it, that's fine, but on a technical level the lighting was truly much better.

>current Eden
Bright as fuck yo. Looks like daytime.
>beta Eden
Dark, rainy and moody, lightning would flash light up the whole map, thrusters, weapon fire, and shields would cast shadows off of objects and light up areas. It was beautiful.

You're free to believe the beta lighting is better, but it's only your opinion.

Kek
>current eden looks like daytime
Go to bed John, you're drunk

>>150591041
Better than retardedly bright in a supposed night time setting and flatly lit

>>150590953
Eden was terrible in the beta.
Everything was too dynamic. Brights were too bright, and darks were too dark.
I'm glad they changed it.

>>150591170
I'd rather flat lighting for arena maps than overdone eye candy lighting effects.

>>150591104
>>150591167
I'm not even cucking around, they literally downgraded the lighting system for a higher resolution. The current lighting is worse. That's a fact. They admitted to downgrading the lighting.

You can like non-dynamic flat lighting with soft shadows better if you want, but it is literally worse.

>>150590953
>720p
>terrible FPS consistantly
>can't see shit it's so dark
>meanwhile flashes of light are seizure tier
The beta lighting was asinine

>>150591303
They admitted to softening the lighting.
And again, stop pretending your opinions are facts. We get it, you liked the beta more than the main game. Most people didnt. Get over it.

>>150591303
Holy shit kid give it a rest.
The lighting in the beta was either too bright or pitch black.

>>150591104
It is worse. Current lighting is baked in with only players and vehicles being able to cast soft shadows.

Guns, shields, powerups, flames, etc no longer produce as dynamic effects as in the beta. It looks like a 2007 game in terms of lighting.

Whether you prefer the darker maps is personal opinion, but the lighting system itself was heavily downgraded.

>>150591471
You realize they could have had bright maps with that god-tier lighting system as well, right? There was nothing stopping them from changing things around, but it got canned for slighlty better resolution and in exchange for flat baked-in lighting

>>150590540
Halo 3 has the best visors of the series though. Reach was pretty good but not quite as good. Maybe Halo 2A campaign could match it?

>>150591516
>consensus in the thread that the beta lighting looks worse
>it doesn't matter you're objectively wrong because A,B,C
Reach is technically running on an inferior console and yet the armor still visually looks much better.
Your argument is like saying the Dreamcast was better than the genesis because it was more powerful.

>>150591516
So the lighting system is less advanced and still looks better in the final?
Damn.

>>150591516
I liked the dark maps. They were comfy as fuck and added a new layer to the gameplay we never really saw before. I never had a problem seeing anyone either, because nearly every action you did would light up the environment surrounding you. Unless enemies were literally crouch-walking around it wasn't an issue, and even then you could still spot them.

They made the right decision and the game looks better as a result. Maybe the lighting is a bit less advamced, but it's well worse the game not looking like a slideshow.

>>150591683
I said it was your opinion whether you liked how it looked or not. I'm not the judge of that.

It is NOT opinion however that the lighting system was superior technically. The current system is basic baked-in lighting that's been used in games for a long-ass time now.

>ever inferior to dynamic
Yeah, no.

>>150591895
This.
Regardless of what happened to the lighting, the game looks much better now.

>>150591683
That's like saying that minecraft has better lighting than battlefield 4 because you can run Minecraft on your toasterbox but you can't run battlefield

The old lighting WAS better, it had tons of effects and systems that are totally missing now.

Was the xbone too weak to handle it at an acceptable resolution? Yea. But it was still a better lighting system.

>>150592069
There's original Xbox games with better lighting than Halo 5. Your "Muh technology" excuse has no weight.

>>150592050

>>150592050
But the beta lighting was more advanced. What are you even talking about.

It was literally downgraded into the current state. That means they had to make it worse.

>>150592189
Some people like to be able to see a game when they're playing it and not have it randomly blind them.

They also like their 2016 games in above 720p.

Realistic lighting is better. There's no reason for it not to be.
Also,
>not understanding how a dynamic lighting system is technologically more complicated and advanced than a baked system

>>150592223
No, not opinion you fucking retard. It's a fact.

It's not an opinion that halo 3 had better lighting systems than the CE. It's just a technical FACT.

It's not an opinion that a modern PC is better than one from 10 yrs ago. It's a technical fact.

What I've been saying this whole time is that the OPINION is whether a person prefers one or the other. You can prefer whichever you want, I don't give a fuck. But blatantly saying the current lighting system is better on a technical level is fucking retarded.

Chaos Theory uses a much more dated lighting system. It could not run H5's.
It's less advanced, but looks better.

>>150592569

I prefer the new lighting system for gameplay reasons, but the old one WAS a better system that's not up for debate. It literally was a more powerful lighting system.

Not even just artistic, the lighting itself and the systems and effects it used were better. (And required more power, hence why it was only 720p and had to be sacrificed for performance.)

343 just happened to make the mistake of only creating dark maps. Which I didn't mind, I thought they were very interesting and a new concept for the series. But I wonder if there had been a bright map with the god-tier lighting if these people would've liked it more. I guess regret counts, go watch regret beta footage if you're interested.

If the actual halo games used the aesthetic of the halo wars 1 and 2 cutscene I would be so happy

>that mark 4
>that mark 6 in the beta screen
>those h2a elites and classic covenant designs in the wars2 trailers
>the return of brutes

How is it that creative assembly and sabre interactive do halo better than 343

Maybe it's because they actually RESPECT the series rather than shitting out garbage like nightfall, mark V alpha, seeker, breaker, raijin, and all that other ugly shit as well as making all the covenant look fucking retarded

343 makes me legitimately angry sometimes. They got the gameplay and Forge right, but God damn do they need work on everything else.

>>150597387
Why not get a full FOTUS lobby going?

>>150598487
Because I'm not a faggot

If we're going for ironic meme armors, seeker will humiliate the enemies the most.

If we go FOTUS, we have to go all the way and use a unicorn emblem and change our tags to PONY. I couldn't imagine anything more enragening for the other team.

>>150598573
Let's go all the way then.

>>150598745
I don't have FOTUS yet but if you do get a group together, prepare for tons of "fan" mail

I tried it in reach, forget what armor I used but we all changed our armors pink and shit and the unicorn emblem and PONY clantag in swat

People got legitimately angry and started quitting when they realized they were gonna lose

Lots of "fuck off" "gay" and "wtf" messages as well

No screenies but I've got this which was kinda funny. The teammate we got matched with had MEX as his tag, so we switched to those.

The blue team tags are quite bad too

>>150597642
Sabre and CA also put effort and time into their work, spit shine it with lots of polish and don't particularly care about the competitive scene.

So what are your hopes for Halo 6, anons? Proper aesthetics, better and lengthy campaign, more multiplayer modes, original not-from-forge maps AND proper team based vehicles like the Spectre, Revenant, Hornet and Falcon?

Oh, and maybe a flyable gunship like a Pelican or a Phantom?

One can dream.

>>150599227
Black undersuits (space diapers too)

Generally better armor designs. Quit outsourcing to artists who don't understand the halo aesthetic

Full armor customization

Multi passenger flying vehicle

Split-screen

Expand on and improve the warzones modes. Make them feel like actual warzones in the skyboxes with ships fighting and explosions and shit. More gameplay variety within them as well, instead of kill boss perhaps a round could be CTF or detonate the bomb for points

Continue expanding on H5 forge.

Don't neglect BTB.

have action sack, social slayer, BTB, and maybe social team arena as casual playlists. Keep slayer, swat, and team arena for ranked.

Have the regular covenant designs return ALONGSIDE the subspecies. Subspecies simply a version that might fight a little differently have more health/less shields or something

Don't be faggots and remove all the power weapons from every map to replace with smg's and plasma rifles. Power weapons are powerful for a reason.

Have Map-exclusive power weapons like Prophet's bane used to be on truth. (Maybe only in design, not full REQ powers. Just something to keep every map unique. And generally give top-tier variants a different model, not just different paint)

Bring back Marty to work on the music alongside kazuma. He said he would like to but 343 never asked him.

Not going to say improve the story, because it's been beyond salvage ever since halo 4.

That's all the good shit I can think of

Me too. Spartans are for dress-up. You have to look good if you want to play good.

There's a surprising number of sets in halo 5 that would just look soooo much better if I could switch around the shoulders, or forearms or whatever, you know? Like why isn't something so simple already an option. Why did they choose to disclude it? It literally only benefits the game to do that.

>>150600450
Probably something to do with making an engine from scratch

But that's not true. They're still using a modified version of the halo 4 engine, which in itself was a modified version of the reach engine.

Even if it were totally new, the engine in no way could stop them from implementing armor customization.

They've said it's because the art team wants to keep the "sillhouette" of any specific set recognizable

>>150625470
Regret went there to do a ritual to bless the ring or some shit before firing it later.

Gravemind knew he was there because he had control of the monitor and thus has insight into the happenings on the ring.

>>150625470

Fair enough they made Doubles Ranked but why do they have to remove one to add one? Seemed like a fair Ranked playlist if you ask me, even if the competitive scene didn't endorse it

If we got spartan flood forms I would be okay with that to be honest.

>>150628464
It's more fun now as a relaxing game mode where players can drop in and out, but the whole point was that it was ranked, really.
Like they made multiplayer "canon" just to do this simulation competitive shit, and then it has so few players it gets replaced with doubles.

I always liked Breakout but I never really played it too much. I really like the Arena Breakout they did a while back, Breakout on regular maps was pretty fun especially since you didn't die in one hit if I recall? It was pretty much team slayer with 1 life if I'm actually remembering right

>tfw in one week you get to play again for the first time since may

Its been a long summer lads

Huh, an Assassin's Creed Xbox One Bundle and the MCC. That's exactly what my original purchase was.

Black Flag was about the best part of that deal...

Holy shit, I just realized what went on in this scene.

I always thought the "cable" she was using to reach the Index might have been a Flood tendril, but I never considered that it was intentionally put there by the Gravemind. When it slipped, it was because the Gravemind wanted her to fall into the pit, allowing him access to the Index and depriving the Covenant/UNSC of it.

Man, I missed some shit when I played it as a kid.

As an addendum, they replaced the tendril with an actual cable in H2A. I guess Blur missed it as well, then.

An addendum to the addendum: Miranda's face looks funny in this pic

>>150632596
>>150632782
I think you're reaching a bit there bud

>>150632782
The way they mo-capped the H2A stuff is pretty interesting, they had to go on face movement alone, so no moving around or anything. Sounds like it would be pretty difficult, but then again im not an actor

does anyone wanna play some infection before 343i takes it away?

>>150633398

It's subtle but highly likely. The "cable" looks almost exactly like a Gravemind tendril, and rather than snapping or coming unstuck like it did in H2A, it just suddenly slithers loose.

>>150633635

Looks like a Tumblr post lauding Bungie's decision to make Noble 6 "nonbinary". This Jagerben47 guy posts a pic definitively confirming that he/she is either male or female, not whatever otherkin fantasy the Tumblrtard wants to imagine he is. It looks like their jimmies got rustled hard by it.

The best players in /hg/ use a trip. You're in good company.

>>150635691
Please don't

>>150635967
Really the only reason you should use a trip is if you're one of the company leaders

>>150636078
I don't even know what companies are yet, does that mean I should take it off

>>150635426
I doubt they will take it out, Infection is the 3rd most played playlist in TMCC.

In the Halo 2 developer commentary they literally call it a tentacle.
>>150632782
Also, they never fixed the phantom flying backwards towards the sentinel wall.

>>150637346
He shouldn't have been on the other team and lost, then.
Don't forget that Johnny is the retard spastic who whined about shit like the Wars 2 beta. If he'd won, he would be tripfagging all over the general after getting carried by his randoms.

>>150637487
>phantom flying backwards toward the sentinel wall

Oh shit was that in sacred icon? I literally just noticed that earlier, is that what that was?

>>150637545
Well HW2 beta was pretty bad tbqh.

>>150637784
Dominion wasn't long enough.
Deathmatch was a lot more enjoyable, and they're taking active feedback.

>>150637784
Him bitching about "BUT WHAT DO SUPPLY PADS DO THE GAME NEVER TOLD ME EVEN THOUGH THEY SAID WHAT THEY DID IN THE TUTORIAL VIDEO" isn't legitimate.
And don't forget he kept saying they were honest complaints until someone found out it was him and namedropped him with proof.

>>150639223
Actually those banshees are not empty at all. I decided to stick around and fight them one time and they have Spec Ops Elites in them. The only Halo that have mostly empty banshees is Reach.

It's things like these is why I look at the original cutscenes for CE and 2 as the real canon.

I want a Tacticool squad-based Halo where you play as a commander with marines under him that all have special weapons/abilities similar to Ghost Recon, taking place during the invasion of Earth.

I would be complete.

That's stupid an ODST squad would be better.
