First for there isn't a single quality arena map in guardians
>>151763075
There really isn't. Even the good Breakout maps are only good for Breakout.
>>151763075
Stasis is fine
>>151763223
>There really isn't. Even the good Breakout maps are only good for Breakout.
That's the problem with 5's maps in general.
They're only built for specific game modes. Literally every other Halo map in every other game was built to support all or almost all game types.
To be fair though, Overgrowth and Torque play well with CTF, Slayer, and Domination
>>151763258
>Blue Team Wins: The Map
>>151763075
Torque.

Fuck that map and its mother.
>>151764308
Let me fix that for you, numberfag.
All the part of the map highlighted in red = pointless and never utilized
>>151764775
>All the part of the map highlighted in red = pointless and never utilized
t. bad player
>>151764421
It's a fun map, Guardian is probably one of my favourite maps in 3
>>151764908
>It's a fun map
>>151764098
Picture day is still going to happen, but with actual leadership and clear ofganization.
Probably in a week or so.
In the mean time, how's the profile photo mash up for 200 going? Almost done hopefully???
>>151764838
It's just a fact.
I'm sorry if that triggers you too much, but the overwhelming majority of the action happens on the top floor.
The rest of the map is pointless.
Here's the official heat map from bungie.net
>>151765457
Holy shit it's not even close.
>>151765457
>I'm sorry if that triggers you too much, but the overwhelming majority of the action happens on the top floor.
And? That doesn't mean the map plays the same if you remove the lower floors.
>>151765457

>gets called a bad player

>>151765193
Just a suggestion, but to make it easier maybe we can group up hg members with those they play with a bunch? It would allow for smaller groups to form and take a picture while getting all the active members in a picture bit by bit without trying to get a huge group of people to participate.
>>151765905
This sounds ripe for drama.
>>151765905
Then we might as well cut the picture in half and remove those who refuse to play, like Lemmings and Pizza.
>>151766049
>>151766110
I'm not saying we cut people off. I'm just suggesting we group people who play together often to take a picture so we can get group shots easier and then add them all together or something instead of trying to pick out a time and getting a bunch of members to try and take a picture.
>>151765905
This was the original plan.
To do smaller pics and Phase them together.
>>151765457
>map doesn't account for multiple floors of action, just a top down flat layout
Anon, you're being retarded. There's no evidence to support that none of that red is coming from the lower level.
>>151766684
>red exactly matches dimensions of upper floor
Probably a coincidence.
>>151764308
I've noticed something.
This is the third time a Halo 3 map has been featured.
Why do almost all halo 3 maps have so little aesthetic variation from one another. It's all either burnt savanah grass, chrome structures, or burnt savanah grass with chrome structures.
Go ahead and veto snowbound all you want, but it's at least one of the only launch maps that looks at all noticable different.
anyone have experience with solo LASO runs? I've started watching these videos and now I'm intrigued:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDX-AsSfdos
>>151767242
They wanted the maps to match the aesthetics of the campaigns most likely.
Unfortunately, 80% of the game takes place in either the deserts of Africa or the deserts of the Ark.
>>151767242
I love Snowbound because I finally 100%ed Halo 3 on it with the overkill achievement...
then they released the perfection achievement.
>>151767242
Halo 2 was just as bad though, if not worse.
>>151767623
For H2 solo is recommended because of the iron skull. For H2 you're going to rely mostly on speedrunning for the most part as the modifiers rape you every time along with H2 legendary being the hardest in the series.
>>151765193
Almost done
>>151767623
I've slazo'd every campaign except Guardians (because I really don't give a shit about the Guardians campaign) and I can tell you some solid advice.
Yes, watch videos, pay attention, and take tips from them, but DO NOT attempt to mirror exactly what happens in the videos. Things will not work the same in your run-through and it will leave you very frusterated.
The better way to train is to continuously run through individual levels on legendary until you have the enemy positions and level map down to a T. Then start putting individual skulls on. That's what worked for me.
Yes, it's time consumibg, but the noticable improvement you will see yourself making will be satisfying enough to justify it.
The hardest thing about LASO is the intimidation factor of it. Anybody can do it and once they beat their first LASO mission, the majority of the denial leaves.
>>151768379
Its.... beautiful
>>151768379
Looks cool
>>151767242
Still way more variety than halo 5.
For instance the UNSC structures in each map all look distinct from each other. In 5 they're all just white walls with some colored stripes and Lethbridge industrial logos
>>151768569
Thanks anon, I was hesitant but now I fully intend to do it.
>>151768379
>tfw on bottom row and not stuck somewhere in the middle
>>151768949
Oh make no mistake I definitely agree.
I think 3 has the least variety in map aesthetic (the DLC maps helped a bit) of the Bungie games, but if we're talking about the whole franchise then yeah, every map in 5 looks exactly the fucking same. And it doesn't help 5's case that there's remixes all over the place.
>>151768973
You can do it man!
Go for gold!
>>151769418
Exactly. Would it kill them to do medium sized maps with some actual natural terrain and maybe a mongoose or ghost. Or maybe just more maps that aren't plain boring white and made of entirely 90° angles.
>>151762932
What happened here?
>>151752289
Please.
>>151769730
A spartan firing a rocket while jumping? Nothing unusual.
>>151768224
Eh, Halo 2 definitely has an over abundance of Earth City-ish maps, but they're still pretty well balanced out with various types of forerunner, covie, and even flood-inspired maps.
Plus, pretty much every mission in the game, including cut missions, are represented with at least one multiplayer map.
>>151768379
Does it make an even grid?
>>151770182
I just miss the staple Maps in Halo.
Here hoping Halo 6 will be the "Halo 3", much like how Halo 5 was the "Halo 2" of 343's Series.
>>151770182
Chiron TL-34 was and always will be my favorite map. A total blast for split-screen slayer.
>>151769696

Who voice acted Warden Eternal? He was probably one of the better things to come out of 5.
>snipers is back
>>151770409
97 players in company + 2 more from the thread. There still 5 spots if people want to be included, i guess i'll could put them in the top left and right corners.
>>151772051
Maybe for thread # 300.
>>151772260
Just a suggestion; how about having GTs in that little bar below each picture? Probably not a good one since some people may have a GT that's pretty long.
>>151772726
That's exactly what that bar is for.
>>151772260

>>151768379
Even Red's Spartan looks like he's depressed
>>151772891
I don't mind adding those guys, problem is i don't have them as friends so i can't take a screenshot of their armor. I would really appreciate if you or someone else could do it.
>>151772189
Warden eternal is trash
Doesnt look forerunner at all, looks like a bionicle mixed with a Micheal bay transformer
>>151772013
Works fine in forge and warzone maps
Enjoy your boxes I guess
>>151774558
I meant the voice. I like the voice actor.
I could care less about the aesthetics in a stupid ass retarded fucking videogam
>>151773548
Confirmed.
iTunes has both volumes of the Halo 2 OST.
Vol. 1 is select tracks as originally recorded without being modified for gameplay presented in a more traditional album format, including vocal tracks from guest bands promoting the game like Incubus, Steve Vai, Hoobastank, and of course Breaking Benjamin.
Vol. 2 is set up to be more of a true soundtrack and follows the progression of the campaign with lengthy "suites" of music.
Both of them are excellent.
>>151769989
There's a /v/ google doc somewhere that has a fuck-ton of OSTs
>>151774798
>>151773548
I have Vol2 and I'm not paying for 1 again.
>>151774798
What the fuck does this have to do with Halo 2?

Don't forget that the top floor doesn't have those extensions in the middle, clearly showing that people died on the very bottom floor in the hallways around the flamethrower.
I like how the logo from each game accurately represents the visual aesthetic of its game.
CE is all about the ring, which is fitting because that's where the whole game takes place.
2 is super shiny and prestigious, self-advertising itself as the new and improved Halo sequel you have been waiting for.
3 has a rustic look to it, like it's got a mystical quality to it that says the fight is about to be finished.
And 4's logo... well, just look at it.
>>151775714
>blue soldiers in 5
This just reinforces the disappointment that was Warzone's reveal. Stuff like red hunters made it look like it'd be 12 red and 12 blues moving with waves of their friendly AI to take on the other team.

Awful.
Don't worry, Halo 6 will not involve the Forerunner or guardians at all. It will simply be a prequel with nothing but classic covie and flood enemies.
>>151779041
Actually Halo 6 campaign will primarily be set on forerunner factory planet where soldier units are created. Soldiers and soldier variants will be the main enemy.
>>151778118

I just now realized the 4 looks the most like a Forerunner construct. That's probably what they were going for, now I think of it...
>>151791151
The forerunner thing would have been a nice touch if they didn't shit all over them in the actual game in so many ways, it mirrors what Bioware did with the Reapers in Mass Effect but Halo cuts so much deeper
>>151785916
Oh, right. I'm either the highest or second highest ranked person in the company, aren't I?
>>151791268
At the least Halo's characterization of Forerunners was good, if only in their debut EU material. And introduced Precursors to fill the "mysterious all-powerful entities" role.
Mass Effect 3 was Bioware losing their erection between games and trying to pleasure their fans with a floppy useless appendage.
>>151792068

>pet alien doggies turn into the flood
This is literally the flood's origin story.fucking stupid. I hate 343
>>151792612
Now I'll admit the whole Pheru backstory was fairly flimsy, but the rest of it sounds like you didn't actually read the books.
>actually called themselves forerunners
In line with their pseudo-religion and admittance that they would eventually be succeeded; also another hint toward Forerunner hypocrisy since they had no intention of letting themselves be subverted
>grind themselves into dust and put their dust into containers for some reason
So they could be found and come back, obviously.
>>151793146
Right but it makes no sense
If they knew they'd be succeeded and named their entire species after this fact then why did they war with humanity over the mantle so much and kill their creators
And why is crushing themselves into dust the best option rather than not killing themselves in the first place
I understand the dust got corrupted and that's why it made flood but it still makes no fucking sense
So the lorefags can at least agree that the forerunners have been poorly handled in the last couple of years? The games have been particularly awful, the prometheans are terrible and the guardians just raise more questions than answers and 343 have really tripped over themselves
>>151793643
But I thought you wanted them to be mysterious? Well there you go, now there's some mystery.

Because they're a sad and defective race who would rather kill their gods, reshape history, and lie to themselves for millions of years than face the fact that they're unworthy of not just the Mantle, but probably existence.
>And why is crushing themselves into dust the best option rather than not killing themselves in the first place
It mentions that they preserved themselves from destruction in a number of ways. That was probably like, Plan F or something. It was also likely specifically tailored to allow the Precursors to return in such a way that they could punish the Forerunners.
>>151793643
Everything has been poorly handled on the past couple years. Especially The Flood and The Forerunners. I hate everything so goddamn much and precursors are such a stupid hack idea who thought any of that shit was a good idea. Only the biggest dumbest hack would try to explain where the flood came from its such a stupid idea goddamn it we don't need the horror elements of a story explained. A mysterious atmosphere and fear of the unknown are two of the coolest things in sci-fi, why would you purposely remove these elements from your own story? I don't want to see what else these fucks have in store for us goddamn fucking fuck hacks.
>>151789659
Indeed
>>151794384
For these 3 races who were all obsessed with the mantle of responsibility and sheltering all life, they sure seem to love killing billions of eachother
>>151794682
Yeah, I think we all know who really deserves it
>>151794682
For being "huge fans" of the halo series 343 sure does seem to love butchering it.
>>151794601
I think the Forerunner novels explaining certain things is acceptable to alot of people because, while there is a bit less mystery about the Flood, it adds another horror element in the "cosmic horror story" Lovecraftian sense.
>>151794849
They aren't though. They talked about how they wanted to hire people who hated halo so they could "improve it" in ways a fan might not be able to recognize.
All you gotta do is watch their vidoc on infinity modes and see how geniuinely they thought perks and loadouts and kill-cams and forced sprint and ordinance were good ideas.
>>151795036
I dunno, instead of an extremely powerful extra-galactic force now they're 100,000 year old precursor dust that some dogs ate
Sure the neural physics shit is scary and cool but come-on, none of that is ever gonna be represented in the games
>>151795043
I won't excuse 343's most egregious fuckups, but I will point out that it was technically Reach which introduced unequal starts, loadouts, AAs, etc. to the series. I find it very likely that 343 was, for the most part, just continuing along the path that the series was set when Bungie left.
>>151795235
>none of that is ever gonna be represented in the games
Pity to 343 for that. It's generally difficult to up the threat level in new entries to a franchise when they previously involved shit like saving the world/galaxy, but having Chief square off against what amounts to a race of gods would have been a decent way to do it.
We got 172 first strikes in past week. At this rate we're 41 weeks from finishing the commendation.
>>151796087

>majority of the armors everyone is wearing in the picture day image is armor that 343 didn't originally design
>>151783379
>There are people who aren't wearing Mark IV
>>151795526
Nobody forced 343 to follow up on reach's gameplay.
Reach loadout werent player made, they were pre selected and only one or 2 modes actually had different weapons. The rest only had different armor abilities.
That's nothing in comparison to 2 perks, custom primary weapon, custom secondary weapon, whatever armor ability you want, and whatever grenades you want in nearly every mode

what are these?
>>151799352
Sounds like a great idea but i'm done with this. Here's a version without the title if you want to do it.
>>151798234
Great work anon but like someone else said it would be better if the bottom right was changed, out of place and not in the company/known to anyone in the general. Add in LetsGoNYR88 or Dubya
>>151799980
>>151799852
Look like individual armor customization for Halo 5. Where did you got if from?
>>151800062
Well that's not up to me to decide and like i said here >>151800003 i'm done with this thing, if someone else wants to take over for me, go ahead.
>>151798234
>>151800003
The last person is really off-putting to me, I can't stop looking at it because its so out of place. Other than that its pretty much perfect. Not to disrespect your work, its great and I can imagine squeezing someone in the correct spot would be annoying
>>151799980
Customizable armor
>>151800003
Ok
>>151799980
Looks like "what if we had shoulder customization?"
Also, black undersuits.
>>151800237
It's cool man.
You did a phenominal job.
It would be great if we could get someone like you to make more stuff for the company.
Maybe make a Picturefag trip so we know it's you.
>>151800237
>>151800286
Maybe we could put the company emblem in the last space? Or the date the image was made, the gamertag of the person who made it or something else entirely?
>>151800391
And legs and chests
Look closely the sets are all mixed
It's done by downloading halo 5 models and changing them around in SFM
>>151800367
Think you could add a "# 200" below? This was made specifically for this event after all.
someone fix the bottom right before #200 PLEASE, all this fucking work to ruin it with one random guy that is out of place
>>151800391
Well, grey undersuits. Couldn't get them black. But I think it would look nice
Hell I am from /v/ and I am wondering if you guys have more insight as to what went on behind the scenes with Halo 5. I think the gameplay is good and having an early beta that wasnt just "heres a demo of the full game" helped out in that regard but the rest of it feels really mismanaged and 343 isnt so transparent like Bungie who put their behind the scenes up and downs on the special edition DVD.
>>151800663
>>151800449
Again, that was not up to me to decide. He posted his armor in the thread and i added it, what's the big deal about it? Is it because no one really knows him or because of the alphabetical order?
>>151800663
If someone manages to do this I will more than love them forever
>>151800868
the alphabetical order for me
>>151800758
What would you like to know?
Did you know that Jul's death was inspired from Count Dooku's rise and fall in Star Wars episode 2 & 3. One of our cinematic guys is a huge Star Wars fan and everyone loved the idea he pitched.
>>151800650
Done
>>151800650
Yea

>>151801112
Hivemind
>>151801058
This sounds like bait but I wouldnt put it past 343.
>>151800758
They actually posted multiple Vidocs before Halo 5's launch. In terms of community interaction i feel like they're way ahead of Bungie. It took Bungie like a year or more to add community made mapa into matchmaking while 343 did it in 1 month i think. Also they really listen to the feedback stuff for maps, modes and stuff.
>inb4 343shill,i don't give a fuck
>>151801245
They're good at community interaction except for when it comes to MCC, black undersuits, playable elites, or split-screen
>>151796087
Why are we so fucking slow?
Is the company just full of people who never play?
>>151801061
>that quality drop
Well thanks for trying, at least you got the color right.
>>151801112
This looks nice, not a fan of the white title though, i think it would look better red.
>>151801515
Yep
>>151801228
If you noticed in ep 2 count dooku was unbeatable, within the first 10 mins of ep 3 he went out like nothing. We thought we would use that for Jul because we realized the fans weren't all that into him.
>>151800868
As an anon with legitimate OCD this is actually upsetting/triggering me and it ruins a near perfect image please anon fix it for me if its even possible

>>151801515
The leader himself only plays for one week per month. Only about 20 people actively play, and because they play together and you can only get one first strike per game unless you go and play Infection, it's pretty much nothing. And then you still have to get the first strike.

More like lax. He just kinda left it alone for months, then made a sudden major change. It's so fucking lax, that two of the lieutenants don't even play anymore.

I hope we learn about the new update soon. Fucking race and juggernaut PLS 343. proper ODST and classic sets like CQB and EOD too. And finally a non-boxy white UNSC map, give us some covenant and forerunner shit. That can't be too much to ask for one of the final updates.

>one of the final updates
uwot
>>151804449
You already got CQB, you entitled fucker.
>>151804449
is 343 actually going to continue making content for 5 and not just small balance, playlist, or UI changes now that their focus is HW2?
How is action sack going to work without the designated fun variants like juggernaut, relay (that no one ever played or even bungie acknowledged), or crazy king?
>>151804518
The updates have started to slow down. They've said they are going to be much less frequent. I can't see them doing more than 2 or 3 new updates before dedicating everyone to halo 6 and whatever other projects they're working on
>>151804616
That is NOT CQB. That's a fucking abomination.
>>151804632
343 isn't developing hw2, just publishing it and such
Action sack is gonna be like the halo 4 version most likely, with lots of fun minigames. Grifball will likely be added to it, they've confirmed grifball isn't going to have its own playlist forever. (In 4 the ones i can remember are dodgeball, paintball, and that weird one where the Spartans were shrunk down)
>>151804824
>That is NOT CQB. That's a fucking abomination.
Go look at the rest of the CQB concept art, and the Dynast description. It's CQB, you entitled shitlord.
>>151804361
>>151804889
OK good. Now add the font to it that's NOT WHITE
>>151804449
And proper Mark 5 PLS
And black undersuits and wasp variants
>>151804449
EOD when?
>>151804449
It will be a Forge focused update, don't expect anything on the same level of the monthly updates.
>>151804632
I can definitely see them adding Forge props, weapon skins, emblems, UI changes, playlists and maybe modes.
Don't expect them to release any new maps, WZ maps or armor sets.
>>151804879
I don't care, it's not even called CQB. It's not meant to be CQB either, it's a different set entirely
>>151804889
Adding a Z to his name doesn't fix it
>>151805114
They still owe us one WZA map (they promised)
They said there would be new places to play in the new update and I doubt that means another forge canvas
>>151805140
I know that guy, he told me he's gonna change it to that.

I'm literally shaking rn
>>151805483
>That's like saying that foehammer is the same as aviator because they serve similar purposes
No, it'd be like saying Foehammer is a replacement for pelican pilot helmets because the design is the same and it's the replacement for the helmets. Especially when you look at the concept art and see how they transitioned from the original design to the new one.
>>151805483
>Having in many ways effectively replaced older CQB and CQC designs, the DYNAST helmet shell is covered by layers of compressed carbon nanotubes and hyperdiamond sheets, making it fantastically durable... and expensive.

GOD DAMMIT 343
>>151805337
No one seems to be doing it, which is strange considering all of the talk about the 200th thread. I would have thought an alphabetically correct image would have been somewhat of a priority.
I don't know if it can be done without the guy who made it dumping the original images as it would probably have to be done all over again without messing up the image to get it in order?
If you do actually do it and can manage it make sure to use the first original image posted so other anons can add text and fonts of their own choosing and be proud that you would have been the first thing to have made me smile in a long time
>>151805603
>>151805612
OK I guess we can't have Mark 4 or 5 because mark 6 exists
Oh wait Decimator is based on mark 7 We can't have Mark 6 either

Stop being so autistic about, i wish you were this obsessive while kicking inactives in the company.
>>151805140
Kind of does if your goal is alphabetical
>>151805778
No, we can't have Mark VI anymore because its appearance got retconned in Halo 4. So we can't have CQB anymore, either.
>>151805310
>I know that guy, he told me he's gonna change it to that.
He would do that... for /hg/...
Of course he would.
Because the company is bigger than us. It's bigger than our individuality. It's a statement. A principle.
It doesn't matter that Bias is of a lesser heritage, that Vol7age is a pessimistic hater, that Red has probably overdrawn his bank account by several thousand dollars.
No, what matter is the company.
God bless you /hg/, I salute my company!

>>151805651
Picture guy here, it can be easily edited in Paint i just don't feel like doing itt, it would take too long and i'm tired of this thing.
>>151805935
I know why they changed the name.
It differs so much from the original because they hire retarded fucking artists that they knew there would be backlash if they called it CQB.
Just like how they said Mark V was coming to halo 5 and in the update teaser it was clearly listed as "Mark V" but then after people saw how terrible it looked they quickly retconned it to be 'Mark V alpha' so they could explain how shit it looks by it being a different variant

More than likely somebody took the raw assets available out there and did some work. Those are low-res textures up-scaled.
>>151806141
The reason why 90% of the armor is SHIT is because they outsource most of the armor to artists who have done "sci-fi" type stuff in the past. That's probably a very broad spectrum as well, all these artists will have wildly different tastes and styles for what they think a sci-fi armor should look like.
So you get a bunch of artists who probably haven't played halo or understand the art design of any of the halo games designing all theses crazy fucking armors, and by the time they're finished after hundreds of hours of work producing abominations like seeker 343 just accepts it to pad out those reqs
It's a shame too because most of the armor 343 themselves has designed isn't too bad, like blue team, Osiris, recruit, etc

>>151806692
Nope. Arbiter is the leader of the Swords of sanghelios and took back the elite's home planet from Jul'mdama's covenant.
Yes he has grunts and jackals and stuff allied with him, but arbiter is not part of the covenant and neither are his followers. Did you even play halo 2?
>>151806070
When will you upload the original screenshots?
>>151807263
So you're going to eat and then MAYBE you'll play with me
This is my life. Since 343i wont add campaign matchmaking.
>>151807526
Path calm down.
I'll get on when I'm done.
Since we were discussing H5 content updates for the future, let's have a look at the possibilities based on what we know. already:
Forge stuff (prefabs, in-game content browser, maybe another canvas)
New armour/skins (as seen by the Wrath skin in the WZF load screen, and by content mistakenly uploaded, such as Protector Stalwart. Also by missing ID tags in the armour customiser)
Wasp variants (a given, since all vehicles have at least two extra variants)
Possibly one or two new maps
Possibly weapon skins.
It'll all be basic stuff, no doubt.

I'm sorry I thought the covenant in H4/5 were called storm covenant and that Arbiter was in control of the old covenant after H3, I wasn't really sure what was happening in H5.

>>151807657
The "old covenant" members are dead, gone back to their home planets to live peacefully, joined up with the Swords of sanghelios like arbiter&crew, or part of Jul's storm covenant.
Basically the storm covenant is just members of the old one who still believe in the great journey and are still willing to fight against humanity.

How would you salvage the plot of halo 4 and 5 that wraps up Chief's story without him dying or beoming incubated or anything and still leave room for the series to grow without ANOTHER ANCIENT EVIL AWAKENS, HALO 7-9 COMING SOON BY 2401 STUDIOS
>>151809470
Really, they should have just pulled something like id did with Doomguy, and have the UNSC in 2652 find Requiem, then find logs of The Reclaimer fighting off various species for about 40 years before the logs just stop mentioning him.
But we can't do another "he gets dropped into a shield world" thing because we already did that.

Just redo the ending of 3 but slightly different.
Chief gets stranded on a Halo with someone to keep him company(Cortana or Blue Team). Have him stand on the beach staring off into space and then fade the screen to black. Play the Halo theme music and let the fuhrer retire.

I'm okay with both these options.
Also, what are the actual chances of Halo 3 Anniversary? I seem to think they'll do it because they'll want their name on it. They've put their name on 1 and 2 after the remasters so I have hope.

>>151811769
lemmingscanfly
>>151811681
You forgot ODST FF m8
>>151811839
They updated playlists. That's it.
The last actual update to the game where you had to download it and it included bug fixes was in late 2015 before halo 5.
A
CHICKEN
>>151811931
>"they're never touching MCC again"
>"oh, and when they touch it, that doesn't count"
>>151811931
Exactly, their focus right now is Halo 5 and in a couple of months HW2, we'll see what happens after that. Also if they ever perfectly fix TMCC they can't just say "Hey we fixed it!", they need something big to bring back all the people, something like H3A.
>>151812217
The only way H3A is getting a release is if it's either a special edition exclusive to H6 (see: Modern Warfare Remastered) or if it's getting added onto MCC
They're not releasing H3A as a standalone after releasing a much bigger drop for H2A
>>151812340
MCC was a mistake. Like forty different kinds of mistakes at once to make one big Voltron of a mistake.
>>151812471

>>151812065
They didn't touch it though
They switched around some playlists server side
No bugs were fixed. Nothing was downloaded. Nothing within the ACTUAL game was changed.
>>151812728
>if I say it enough, it will be true!
>>151812728
I have no faith in 343, but you're wrong, they have actually done stuff with MCC in the past 6 months
>>151812728
>They didn't touch it though
False
>They switched around some playlists server side
They also added new ones.
So which is it? You just said they didn't touch it then admitted they did. Make up your mind.
>>151812784
It is true
http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halo:_The_Master_Chief_Collection_Title_Updates
>>151812813
Yeah, they shifted playlists once. Do you count the weekly playlists like snipers and fiesta for h5 as an update? Because it's the same thing
>>151813023
I'm not the guy you've been going back and forth with
I'm >>151812813
All I'm saying is that your claim that 343 hasn't payed any attention to the MCC is false. Objectively false.
If you want to make the claim that they haven't title updated it, you might have something, but that's not what you have been arguing. If that's what you're trying to say, then clarify yourself. But no, they have not left MCC "untouched". That's wrong.
>>151812897
Shifting/adding playlists isn't updating the game. The last time anything inside the game was changed was in mid 2015
Since then all the same bugs and content have been present.
>>151813162
Actually that's not true. There have been a lot of hotfixes for achievements and campaign bugs.
Mostly minor stuff.
>>151813160
Yeah, that's kinda what I mean. I'm trying to say changing up the playlists isn't updating the game. They haven't said a word or done anything about fixing how broken it is in a long ass time and it hasn't gotten an update in nearly a year either.
What's wrong with MCC at this point that isn't wrong with Halo 5?
It runs fine for me. The only problem I've had is the population, and that's actually grown as of lately.
>>151813262
They literally just added a griffball playlist. Brand new.
That's not changing up. That's an addition.
You're correct about the updates though, although the game isn't really "broken" anymore, it's just severely unpolished.
>>151813320
Even very recently, some people have completed achievement requirements and it doesn't give it to them. And the bar is at 100% done, so they can't redo it.
Parties still crash when playing.
Good fucking luck playing CE campaign without weird shit happening, like stuttering, freezing, etc.
>>151813372
No that's called "touching it" which you initially said they didn't since last year.
I don't know what's worse;
People that go out of their way to declare MCC is still some "unplayable" or "broken" mess or people that go out of their way to white Knight the shit out of it with phrases like "it works flawlessly for me"
Why can't we just agree that the MCC has come a long way since release and is now in a very playable state but still is ridden with annoying bugs that can be very irritating.
>>151813221
nigga I bought the game in December and haven't gotten an update for it once.
My Xbox is set to power saving so they couldn't download in sleep mode either.
>>151813516
Because being "very playable" and being "ridden with annoying bugs" are contradictions.
It is very unplayable, but sometimes can work.
>>151813372
Grifball was already in the game
All they did was make it a playlist server-side
That's not an update. Again, that's like saying the weekly sniper/fiesta/whatever playlist for halo 5 is an update
>>151811173
There's only one show that correctly reflects /hg/. Wheels on the bus.
>>151813468
Ok, you're half right with this comment.
I'll explain...
>Even very recently, some people have completed achievement requirements and it doesn't give it to them. And the bar is at 100% done, so they can't redo it.
Ok so this is actually an Xbox UI issue not exclusive to MCC. People have this problem accross pretty much all games. It apparently has a lot to do with your Internet provider talking to the Xbox.
>Good fucking luck playing CE campaign without weird shit happening, like stuttering, freezing, etc.
This however is a legit issue, although it stems more from the issues that were already present in PC CE and Anniversary.
>>151813516
This.
The game works far more often than not at this point, but it still functions like it's barely out of beta. I'm glad they haven't forgotten about it completely, but the fact remains that some of the issues in this shit are just laughable this far out of release.
>>151811173
>>151813726
>Ok so this is actually an Xbox UI issue not exclusive to MCC. People have this problem accross pretty much all games. It apparently has a lot to do with your Internet provider talking to the Xbox.
It is extremely common with MCC. In fact, I've never seen anyone mention it outside of MCC.
>>151813516
Oh you're right, games constantly freezing and crashing and disconnecting or loading in with everyone invisible or loading in with only the corner of the screen displaying the game or loading into an empty map with no other players or disconnecting when you use a terminal or achievements refusing to unlock or menus not dissapearing and glitching ontop of eachother is very playable
These all happened to me in the past 3 months alone. I've reinstalled it 3 times, it's not my Xbox either because every other game worked flawlessly and I've seen the same things happen on a friends Xbox when we were splitscreening one time
>>151813686
>>151813516
Because there are people out there that absolutely can't stand giving 343 credit for anything.
And you know what, they're right. 343 is a disaster. A sinking ship.
That being said, the whole MCC is broken meme is mostly just that, a meme.
>>151813861
Huh, haven't had really any problems in the last year.
To each their own I guess.
Don't get me wrong, I actually believe you. The fact that the game is giving inconsistent experiences to different people shows how messed up it is. A lot of people have it working fine for them now. Others like yourself encounter problems constantly.
My solution? End 343. Give Halo to another dev.
>>151813516
Everyone forgetting that time we all grouped together for customs and it was super fucking laggy and we would all get disconnected every 30 mins or so?
That wasn't more than 2 months ago. That is NOT playable.
That's just the bugs I KNOW all you fuckers have experienced, I've seen many more on my own.
>>151808529
http://youtu.be/bR-s4ReIxJo
>>151814000
Even r/halo Reddit, as circlejerky as those fuckers are, are aware that MCC is still glitchy as fuck. Every few weeks a post gets upvoted to the top wondering when 343 will acknowledge or fix MCC.
Of course, that post is always just one of the hundreds that somehow managed not to instantly be voted down by the 343 defense brigade, but at least it happens.
All I've seen on /v/ regarding MCC is "lol no its fixed you retard. Probably a fucking sonygher trying to badmouth Xbox"
>>151814096
Leader had a strict nat if I'm correct.
That will fuck over any game.
>>151809881
>the sound of silence
Also works for wizardsonly
Y'know because he doesn't talk... Just sits there... LISTENING...
>>151814429
Like I said, for everyone that says it's broken, there's someone that says it's fixed.
The truth is somewhere in the middle.
To claim "No, my side is 100% right, I refuse to see compromise" is to be part of the problem.
Eh, who am I kidding, the real problem is 343
>>151814739
Can confirm.
Works fine on my machine but I tried to play it on my buddy's Xbox at his house just 2 weeks ago and it was terrible.
>>151814656
We switched hosts 2 times. Definitely wasn't solely because of Internet, though that could be a factor.
Sometimes MCC just refuses to work. Sometimes ill try to join a game and the entire thing just crashes. Sometimes regular matchmaking is laggy as fuck to the point where everybody quits .
>>151814739
It's just so random.
Like it decides whether to work or not on certain days.
We have had /hg/ customs in MCC and sometimes it works semi-flawlessly, other times (like last time) it was a mess.
>>151814739
The people who say it's fixed must not at very much. It's not as bad as at launch, but I play multiplayer on it daily, and it is buggy as fuck still. I can tolerate it, but let me tell you h2A remastered campaign is the only reason I don't regret my purchase.
>>151814723
https://youtu.be/LPmzRa-sXQs
>>151814958
I think it swings both ways.
Obviously nobody plays the game. Just look at the population.
Thinking of buying MCC because I love Halo and it's dirt cheap.
Who is the closest thing in the company to having the most understanding of MCC? Who has spent the most time with it? I'll take their opinion on how well it works.
>>151815360
So I'm not the guy you're looking for.
I have probably put less than 20 hours into the MCC. But based on what I know and understamd, nobody here is really lying. For some prople, the game does work most of the time, and for others it's a disaster.
That's literally how unreliable the game is.
It's like roulette.
It might land on black 13 times in a row. That doesn't mean it can't land on red 13 times in a row for someone else.
>>151815360
It works "ok"
Don't expect everything to work properly.
The 1080p/60fps is nice. Halo 2 anniversary is gorgeous.
Achievements unlocking is a hit or miss, sometimes they will refuse to. Multiplayer can work fine or be buggy depending on the person and day. Online Co-op is a bit glitchy on campaigns sometimes and you will get disconnected.
There's codes for it out there for like 8$, if you can get it that cheap then go for it. Don't pay more than 15$.
>>151815360
At this point it works pretty well. You might still have some problems with multiplayer parties if you don't have a port forwarded Xbox (which you should btw).
The campaigns work well and the matchmaking is fixed.
That being said, expect the occasional crash for literally no reason.
How cheap can you get it?
>>151815698
>At this point it works pretty well.
Jesus fuck.
>>151815515
>>151815585
>>151815698
Oh wow, look. More people saying completely different things.
This is why I asked for the "authority" on the game as far as /hg/ is concerned. I don't want people arguing what are clearly biased posts to try to claim my decision to buy it or not over you guys getting some moral victory over the people you're arguing with.
>>151815585
I would agree with this guy, though I'd add that the game works far more than it doesn't at this point.
The crashes and issues are rare now but when they happen it's still really annoying.
>>151815585
On sheer content alone I don't regret my $60 purchase.
But everything else about your post is more or less spot on.
>>151815360
>>151815931
The guy you're looking for is THE ONE BIG RED, aka Mr. Suicidal.
He has every achievement in the collection and has put something crazy like 700 hours into it. He also used to host MCC customs a lot.
If I had to guess, he's not a huge senpai of the game still seeing as the last time he hosted customs MCC literally wouldn't let him play it. Like, it was actually fucking him up more than I think everybody else.
>>151815931
Just buy it really cheap and you probably won't regret it, but you'll be a little dissapointed at the same time

Not familiar. The name sounds familiar.
First: how do you know this
Second: is this the ship that is attacking the pillar of autumn and sending the boarding ships to go inside?
>>151824990
Nigga you retarded,
He was a fleetmaster, he probably didn't leave his key ship, he commanded and planned the entire assault on The Pillar of Autumns crew, he had the whole fleet trying to stop the humans, problem was Halo's a big place and they had to search for one dude.
>>151825381
How do I know this? I assumed since he was a fleet commander that he had his own ship. So I Googled the fleet and found the name of his ship.

Classical how? CE 2 and 3 are very different. From guns. Vehicle physics. FOV. Aim assist. Maps. Speed. Shields and HP.
Hell the differences between CE and 3 are about the same as between 3 and 4 or 5
>No I'm not saying 123 are bad

But you already kinda do. Halo5 you can turn off nearly any ability. You have CE pistol. Plasma rifle. battle rifle and Hammer to use. And hell sprints the most balanced its been.
Only classic thing halo6 needs is split screen and free DLC should be bonus shit not cut shit.

Halo CE was like driving a Tank in comparison to Halo 2 or 3.

I personally would like to see sprint removed in favor of a base movement speed increase. That doesn't really have anything to do with what you're saying but it's my personal feelings about the situation. Sprint has just never felt right to me. I like all of the the other movement options that 5 has though: boost/hover/ground pound.

>>151844223
The way they've implemented Sprint and Clamber in Halo 5 was the best way of presenting they abilities.
While I like the thrusters, I would've liked to have seen then as a "Armor Ability" and had a more natural "Dodge"/"Roll" instead.
>>151844316
I meant the number of players on the game, aka the communities.

The content in Halo 5 was abysmal on release and for months. All their resources are on warzone and reqs because that's where they make their money. It's cancer.

The content we got in the "Free" DLC's was just shit they didn't add in the Base Game.
Granted they maybe have "Worked on new Things", but it's no excuse when games before had much more, and had more or less development time.
>>151844076
>>151844535
Forgot to add that Reqs system is what gave us the garbage reskin of spops they call "firefight".
We'll probably never something like odst firefight again because weapon pickups on the map mean you're buying packs.

Well that's debatable but at least i get use and play what i've gotten from these updates unlike previous games where you only get to play those for a month or two.
>>151844982
Which is why I would've jumped on and bought the hell out of $10/$15 DLC Packs with:

Instead we get shit that should've already been unlockable since Release.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jiS0WP7dl0
>>151844897
Pushing content that would be in release to free updates down the road and sacrificing other areas of the game to work on reqs/warzone is not better than dlc packs.
Microtransactions are cancer because there's less and less incentive to make a quality game for $60 and instead it becomes about sucking out the dollers from the percentage of the population who blow money every week on reqs.
At least freemium games are fucking free, here I spend hundreds for box, 60 for game and pay for xbl to get some shit game.
Bungie cucks defending forced DLC and saying optional microshits are worse. GTFO. Bungie jewed its fans plenty.
Also they do add actual maps guns and vehicles. Not as much as they should. BTB needs actual maps FFS.
But the Stockholm syndrome for bungie is funny "Please bungie make us pay for DLC and lie to us for several games. Please take my money. I love you bungie. Mmmm take my cash"
Bungie fanboys are the SJW cucks of Halo
>>151845202
No, no, no fuck you and everyone who wants paid map packs back. They divide the community, are definitely not worth their price and become useless after a while because you can only find them in their dying playlists.
What they need to do for Halo 6 is improve the REQ system they have right now by not cutting content from the base game and making actual updates on top of that. Also a lobby browser would be amazing.
>>151845390

I agree that it's debatable and up to preference.

>>151845390

Lots of TF2 fans will say the hat shit etc they added after release ruined the game and community.

>No, no, no fuck you and everyone who wants paid map packs back. They divide the community.
This argument has been debunked so many times.
Just look at Halo 5's playlist populations. The game is pretty fucking close to dead. Compare that to the older Halo games and the DLC was never a major problem at all. 9/10 custom games in 3 for instance used sandbox.
Then take a look at Call of Duty. The DLC maps haven't done anything to keep the game out of the #1 most played game on Xbox for several installments in a row.
People drop games because they don't enjoy the core product, not because of DLC pricing. If the masses enjoy a game enough, they will pay to play it more and more.
>>151845787
>"No, no, no fuck you and everyone who wants paid map packs back. They divide the community, are definitely not worth their price and become useless after a while because you can only find them in their dying playlists."
I'm sorry Foodstamps can't buy you map packs.
>"What they need to do for Halo 6 is improve the REQ system they have right now by not cutting content from the base game and making actual updates on top of that. Also a lobby browser would be amazing."
As long as the REQ System stays in Halo, then we wont get quality DLC or updates.
>>151811173
Considering the meme that 343 armor is inspired by anime because FOTUS has a horn like Eva 01, I'd say Evangelion.
>>151845969
Yes to all this. The idea that optional is good because then it's free for you is garbage.
At the big picture level microtransactions are super toxic to game.
It's not about making a good game people will pay $60 for and play, it's about making software that extracts money from people continuously.
>>151845969
>>Forced Warzone to become Repetitive and "Pay to Win Lite" gamemode, instead of a fun experience with unique Scenarios and missions.
Warzone should have been a straight rip-off of Star Wars Battlefront. Big battles over multiple capture points with AI forces swarming all over the place. Some original maps would have been nice too instead of the same 4 structures on different back drops.
>>151845787
> TF2 is p2w
It's not, though. Just like in Halo 5, you don't have to spend a single cent on the game other than the money you spend to actually get the game. After that, you can play for the achievement items and for random drops to get all the gear you'll want or need. It's entirely possible to have the full, entire compliment of weapons without ever spending more than the game cost.
>>151845787
>What they need to do for Halo 6 is improve the REQ system they have right now by not cutting content from the base game and making actual updates on top of that. Also a lobby browser would be amazing.
This is will never happen though. Which is why they are cancer.
>>151846039
>I would bet that's the case for at least 90% of the playerbase.
The current playerbase, absolutely.
The playerbase when Halo was in its golden age? Not even close.
I'll be fair though, Bungie had a much better traditional DLC model than Halo 4 did. Halo 2 for instance had paid DLC packs but eventually gave away them all for free.
>>151845787
>What they need to do for Halo 6 is improve the REQ system they have right now by not cutting content from the base game and making actual updates on top of that. Also a lobby browser would be amazing.
Why would they do this? They don't give a shit about you anon because you don't spend lots of money on reqs.
>>151846169

>>151845969
>Intentionally held back Forge in order to maximize Warzone/REQ profit.
Pretty sure that was to avoid another TMCC scenario, Forge was a bit buggy at release so i really think this was the case.
>Intentionally held back Infection in order to maximize Warzone/REQ profit.
Nah, it was just shitty organization/priorities. If intentionally pushing WZ over other modes was the case, they would've released the other modes like Juggernaut, Race and KOTH as well.
>Caused large amounts of the community to leave due to the lack out content, in order to maximize Warzone/REQ profit.
Again, i'm sure they were just playing it safe and avoiding a buggy release, not really an excuse though, hiring more people was probably the answer. It's not like money is an issue for MS.
>Killed enthusiasm for playing Matchmaking due to the Less REQ points you get, in comparison to WZ.
Speak for yourself.

Where's my mission that is effectively Invasion(Reach), that sometimes turns the match from from Spartan vs Elites, to Spartan & Elites vs AI Flood/Brutes/Forerunner?
>>151846186
Where can we find playlist populations?
>>151846627
And why do you think those core features of Halo were too buggy to release? Maybe they spent too much time focusing on req system and warzone hmm?
>"WZ is pay2win" is just a shitposter meme.
An equally skilled team with plenty of reqs will shit on other team.
A player who buys the game now has to play warzone with jack shit for reqs, people have had to wait till level 70+ to get a fucking dmr. Have fun on noctus with no dmr lol.

Are you gonna play the hypothetical scenario card? Because in reality you can easily kill any enemy with mythic weapons while you're using low tier weapons like a simple FRC or even a needler. Just get gud scrub, this is like asking for balance in joke modes like Infection and Action Sack, if you prefer a 100% balanced mode, go play Arena.

Forge is still buggy, TMCC would've been fine if 343 just didn't shit it out a game, just to grab the money of those who bit the bait.
>Nah, it was just shitty organization/priorities. If intentionally pushing WZ over other modes was the case, they would've released the other modes like Juggernaut, Race and KOTH as well.
The pushed the hell out of WZ and made it clear that it was the main focus of Halo 5.
>Again, i'm sure they were just playing it safe and avoiding a buggy release, not really an excuse though, hiring more people was probably the answer. It's not like money is an issue for MS.
The game was and still is buggy.

I don't see what this link tells me... it looks like an exceedingly unreliable way to track population though. Is there anywhere that straight up says "Current Halo 5 Population: _"?
>>151847491
I admit it's not a competitive game mode and it was never advertised as such. The argument i'm really against is about people saying it's pay2win because of Legendary REQs you can spawn with twice in a single match.
>>151847630
>I don't see what this link tells me... it looks like an exceedingly unreliable way to track population though. Is there anywhere that straight up says "Current Halo 5 Population: _"?
No, 343 purposely hides the numbers.
We do know for a fact though that it does worse than Battlefront EA, which DOES tell us it's numbers (they're bad).
343 recently lied through their teeth about the pop numbers, saying they're the "biggest since Halo 3". They were asked to clarify about that, if they were talking about Halo 3 when it was popular or Halo 3 at any time in its history, such as last year. They declined to comment.
>>151847603
What's your point? Because that other guy was trying to imply BF is more populated than Halo when it's obviously not the case.
>>151847849
>We do know for a fact though that it does worse than Battlefront EA, which DOES tell us it's numbers (they're bad).
Really? How do you see which one has a bigger pop?
>>151847941
>Really? How do you see which one has a bigger pop?
Xbox tracks the most played games by unique users. It doesn't give numbers, but it does give order from most played to least played. Battlefront is in front of Halo 5 (neither game even makes the top 15 most played games I believe).
Now, thanks to swbstats.com, we know that Battlefront peaks daily on Xbox at under 20,000 players. However, it averages daily at 10-14 thousand players, and Halo 5 is NEVER in front of battlefront on the Xbox most played list, meaning Halo 5 has on average, at most, just over 10,000 active players.

>>151847629
>So common sense and business logic is a Conspiracy?
It is when you put it right in front of your eyes and you can't see the facts. I never denied WZ is a money maker but you're completely wrong by thinking it's the main factor for H5's flaws.
>The pushed the hell out of WZ and made it clear that it was the main focus of Halo 5.
I'm pretty sure it was actually Arena and the esports scene. Just look at all those multi-million torunaments, every bulletin talking about it and the heavy focus on arena-designed maps.
>I speak for quite a few.
Then you're all wrong for letting a game tell you how to have fun. You don't need to unlock aesthetical items to enjoy Arena modes.
>Average Joe never buys a REQ Pack, Gets standards and a few Uncommons/Rares, slowly unlocking everything.
>Hardcore Player buys Silver/Gold Packs in order to get better REQS and permanents much faster.
Average Joe (needler) kills HC player (Blaze of glory).
In any case you're wrong, a HC player invests hundreds of hours unlocking everything by himself while a casual/Average Joe buys them straight to save time and this is a fact, just look at any random low level youtuber and their REQ unboxing videos.

WHY ARE SPICS ALOUD TO HAVE SHIT TASTE

Reach is more fun than 3

bruhh wtf is this shit
this is pretty much like Chief and Miranda getting down holy fuck
>>151860020
Post your GT
>>151859824
That's because all the halo 3 players have moved onto MCC while Reach got a pop boost from becoming cross compatible.

PRIVATE PARTIES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>151860335
Reach has been more populated than 3 for years.
It's just a newer game and thus has more players
>>151860215
Sure thing, nerd.

You could get it in 3 days if you played swat for 10 games in a row and made sure you got to double digits in each one

HAND OVER THE GOOD HALO 5 ARENA MAPS OR I'LL SHOOT!!!
>>151861616
Ok
>>151860680
well, he does know what the ladies like...
though I will say that Chief and Keyes is not nearly as incesty as Batman and Batgirl
>>151861676
He said good. Not "spawn on top of a live grenade."
>>151861758
>He said good
Maybe you should focus on getting good yourself

Molten (for FFA)

We're talking about the same map?

>>151862083
It's not playing bad, I just don't understand how you have that problem in Coliseum
Has 343 come out with a single "DLC" map for Arena that isn't made up of recycled content from a launch map?
>>151861952
>any of those
>good
>>151862216
The map is miniature and mostly open. Spawning on the sniper ramps on top of a grenade is a common occurrence for me and my teammates.

Molten
>>151862331
Tyrant. Can't really say Torque because it uses quite a lot of Eden assets.
>>151862356
Molten is a remix of The Rig. What's even more annoying is that it's in the concept art on the loading screens, so it's probably been done since before launch.
>>151862352
It's one of the bigger arena maps I thought
>>151862481
Both Tyrant and Molten are coliseum remixes
>>151862618
>Both Tyrant and Molten are coliseum remixes
Perhaps, but they play completely differently from Coli
>>151862490
It's microscopic. Coliseum is actually very tiny.
>>151862618
>Tyrant is a Coliseum remix
Really? Did they ever say that? Like now that you bring it up I can see it, but Molten is a Rig remix, not Coliseum.
Storm Rifle > BPR
>>151859202
We were all playing halo. But it wasn't a /hg/ party.
>>151862762
Right, that's correct. I made a mistake, Molten recycles Rig parts, not coliseum parts.
Tyrant however does recycle a lot of Coliseum.
>>151862794
>Storm Rifle > BPR
I think BPR drains shields slightly faster, but it doesn't rip health the way Storm Rifle does, so yes, you're correct.
>>151862794
Is there even a map with both?
>>151862794
BPR is a pointless addition.
>>151862910
>Tyrant however does recycle a lot of Coliseum.
Alright, I can see that. Which sucks, because that means the only remix I like is Riptide. I can see why people like Stasis, but the art design fucks over Red team.
>>151862794
This is correct. Even burst firing, the BPR doesn't seem to do the damage to kill, just fuck shields. Storm Rifle fucks shields. Now if only it were more visually interesting like the Plasma Rifle or Plasma Repeater.
>>151863076
Le icy Torque
>>151863162
The layout is certainly better, but having a map with DMRs and a hydra, and one of the team perfectly blends in with half the map, is not great.
It's party time.
>>151863235
>>151863235
Let's do it!
>>151862794
The storm rifle is the worst fucking weapon in the game
