You mean Iso?
>>
Why did Halo 4 sell so much?
>>
>>153791420

Nah, remember IsoDidact was the one who actually activated the Halos, i.e. the one in the Halo 3 Terminals.

The Ur-Didact first appeared in Cryptum.
>>
>>153791420
>>153791590
>>153791207
In simple words, explain to me the difference between Iso and Ur.
>>
>>153791453
Because Reach didn't kill the series Halo 4 did.
>>
>>153791686

Ur-Didact was the original Didact, who married the Librarian, fought humanity, and opposed the Halos' construction. He was eventually driven insane by contact with a Gravemind/Precursor, imprisoned in Requiem, and released during Halo 4.

IsoDidact was a Forerunner upon which the Didact imprinted his "pattern", i.e. his personality and memories. This eventually overtook the Forerunner mentally and physically, creating an effective clone of the Ur-Didact who directed the war against the Flood and realized the necessity of lighting the Rings. The two personalities appear to have "reconciled" afterwards, creating a new being who may or may not still be alive.

>>
>>153793454
I was good when the game first came out, only in past 3 months have I really been lacking
>>
>>153794431

My first experience with Halo's fanbase online was Waypoint, shortly after Reach passed into 343's hands.

Honestly the idea that Waypoint is made up of shills seems more of a meme to me, in my time there there were many, many people whose critique of the games would put /hg/ to shame.
>>
>>153794431
Used to love how active bungie.net used to be, there's really nothing around that offers as much Halo discussion as it did. Then again the community is much smaller since 343 took over so that may be the reason.

>that aiming
>>
>>153795029
Im fine in MCC or any other FPS, it's just 5 that I can't keep steady aim, even on default or lower settings sensitivity. In fact I noticed it when they first introduced the extra sensitivity and deadzone settings but I was still doing ok. But now you'd think I belong in bronze or silver.
>>
>>153795862
It has a lot to do with 5's aiming acceleration
>>
Red, of you're not going to play all weekend, you have to at least post your gf
>>
>>153795862
Same here. My K/D has suffered horribly, and in previous Halo titles I've played at least average or better. It really feels sometimes as though I have to fight the controls to get them to do what I want them to do, and it's a chore to find settings that let me play consistently, let alone well.

>>153796708
I really hope that they enable this as a toggle feature in Forge PC. I'm pretty decent at PC shooters and I'll be angry if my performance is being affected by the game's input settings.
>>
>>153797728
I assume it won't have any aim acceleration. Doesn't make any sense for a mouse control.
>>
>>153795862
Yeah, 5's is weird.
>>
>>153797993
It's 343i, assume nothing. The fact that they've ported the game to the PC and set it up for mouse & keyboard input has absolutely no bearing on whether they're going to take into account things like mouse acceleration.

Until I have the game installed I'm reserving judgment.

THE /HG/TAGE: BUNGIE EDITION is currently accepting clips from now until September 30th. If anyone has a capture card and wants to help other anons get their Halo 3 clips in then post in the thread or send me a message on waypoint so we can set it up. My capture card is working but my laptop is having issues during the recording. The clips that are submitted must be from the following games.

>Halo 2/Vista
>Halo 3
>Halo 3: ODST/Firefight

>>153812660
Eh I partially agree, only because they seem to be taking gears into a different direction which was clear from the beta. Shitty tumblr ethnically diverse characters, "locusts" are back, judgement style Horde mode, focus on esports. Seems almost exactly like 343.
>>
>>153815072
Do you really care if the characters are ethnically diverse?
How is that like 343? We have a black character and Tanaka is mixed I guess.
>>
>>153815072
Gears was always diversed though. I do agree the swarm are pretty lazy, and I dont think they shouldve revealed the deebees since that seems like it wouldve beena neat surprise.

I didnt play judgement so I dont know how the horde mode is similar and right not everything wants to be esports again now, but halo 5 was designed around 4v4 only, while gears still seems to have some fun with its competition like dodgeball

Well, I finally figured out how high-end play in Halo works. It involves the following:
> mash crouch like a fucking moron even though the effectiveness is dubious at best
>spam every grenade you have at even the slightest glimpse of an enemy
>close in and double-melee whenever possible
> hope you didn't forget your grenades!
It's honestly indistinguishable from pub shitter play. The only difference is in how many kills you get and how much of a sweaty tryhard you are. I matched against Diamond players five times tonight and their tools of destruction, every time, was either melee or grenades.

Makes me wonder why the UNSC even issue Spartans with guns.

It voids certain achievements related to par time and scoring. So if you're going for the Legendary in under 3 hours achievements, you can't have bandanna on. But if you're just running through the game for the level completion achievements, it won't stop you from unlocking them.

That's good to hear, it's a shame it was such a clusterfuck at launch (and for a significant period after that). It really could have been something special if 343 decided to keep supporting it instead of abandoning it the moment H5 came out

It's alive but its like 85% H3 babies who's first Halo was 3. I'm still pissed that they don't support H2A alone, they gave us a Relic remake for the MP being broken for 5 months and said no more maps, deal with it. I've even made forge maps for H2A but 343 won't even add forge maps to H2A's playlists because they don't give a shit anymore.

H2A was the main selling point for most fans and they got shit on.

I'm curious what 343 will do when they officially declare 5 as dead. Will they unlock all the stuff, like commendation emblems, armor, and weapons?
Once they turn off the 5 servers, the game is no longer playable outside of a very shitty singeplayer.
>>
>>153819662

That's honestly a good question.

On the one hand, I think they take good notes from what they did wrong in Halo 4. They 180'd on AAs and Loadouts, for one, which I thought they'd never do in case it made people think they were admitting a mistake. They revamped the Promethean weapons to not be useless/OP while also making them pretty unique too. Made Covies speak English for the first time since 3, removed those bumps on undersuits...

And they had a rather extensive list of things they took notes on from the H5 Beta, from nerfing some Spartan Abilities to reducing killtimes.

At this point I have mixed feelings about 343. At the same time that they get things really right they get alot of things REALLY wrong.
>>
>>153847387
I think they imported its model from Forza 4, which was imported from H4 and re-textured.

>>153848117

>>153848438
except that's wrong.
>>
>>153848438
No, Reach had at least 2 good maps
>>
>>153848565
No it's not. It's what happens when you design PVP areas to also accommodate PVE and filling in the gaps with poorly-forged remakes.
>>
>>153848649

I read that they created the maps for PVP first, then incorporated them into the campaign.
>>
>>153848812
That doesn't disprove anything I said, though.
>>
>>153848889
Yes it does, you claimed they were designed to accommodate PvE, and the other anon's statement is true, which means that yours is false.
>>
>>153848889

Guess not, though it begs the question whether they really needed to modify the maps to accommodate PVE, and also if said modifications are present in both Campaign and Multiplayer.

It seems more likely that, if they did create the maps before they incorporated them into campaign, they would keep the multiplayer designs separate from whatever elements are needed to splice it into the Campaign. In which case, the maps' quality was purely dependent on the design, rather than any connections with Campaign.
>>
>>153849362
They were made for PVP first, but were clearly tweaked in order to fit into campaign better.
>>
>>153848649
Some of the maps were designed as MP and incorporated into the campaign with minimal changes. That doesn't make them bad.

>Countdown map
>can only see the MP section in campaign, not actually enter it

>Reflection (Ivory Tower remake)
>only enter it in campaign to flick a switch then run back to the elevator

>Powerhouse
>kill some Covvies and 2 Hunters near the cliff side
>only difference in MP is the bridge is destroyed
>>
>>153850148
I refuse to believe sword base or powerhouse were designed as PvP maps.
>>
>>153850148
Only in campaign. The maps were not altered in PvP.
>>
>>153850642
Don't forget that Boardwalk is a cameo like Countdown. You walk through it, and only encounter enemies once you go through a door that's locked in multiplayer.

Hey pc only fag here. Forge is coming out right? What do you think about it guys?
I only played halo ce and halo 2 on pc and then dropped this franchise. Is there a possibility of halo 3 being ported or something? Or maybe halo 3 maps being recreated by people?
>>
You dumbos, Reach had bad maps because they didn't always take the armor abilities into consideration when making them, so some maps are for sprint and jet pack and others aren't, so if you turn them off even you're still stuck with shit maps not designed around that style of play.
>>

Worse.
5 is a game that is almost completely online.
It's not like the older games where technically you can still fully experience their multiplayer. Even CE can be fully experienced by laning Xboxes, but when Halo 5 dies, it dies. Therefore it's only fair to rare the game on its permanent content, that being solely the campaign, which is shit.

Agree with him whole heartedly, once the greatest FPS of all time like someone in the comments said.

Thinking about it really hits me in the feels, all that talent that Bungie once had wasted and scattered and now all we're left with is Microsofts lazy lackeys with no spines that just want to bleed the franchise for every cent whilst not doing the franchise justice or staying true to the source material.

Being with the franchise since CE launched, it really does make me feel sick too. Halo has been a constant for me since I was a kid, so much of my life invested in it and still following the franchise hoping that we get a spark of the magic that Halo once had.

Red here.

Just dropping in to announce the first MCC customs night in a while. It's going to be this coming Wednesday (the 7th) at 5 PM Eastern US time. I wanted to do Thursday but as someone pointed out, that's when the next content updae for the Guardianbowl drops. We will start playing by 6:30.
If you want a spot reserved, send me a message on Xbox but only if you can guarantee you will be able to make it.
This is a good chance to get some clips for the 4th /hg/tage which is not using Halo 5 clips.
>>
>>153865226

MCC was proven to be rushed for dumb reasons. 343 wanted more time and would have given a much better game if not forced to rush

Think of a wedding cake. Lets say it takes 12+ hours to make it. Now imagine your boss tells you make 2 wedding cakes in 15 hours. You may fudge it up.

Custom browser could mess up but this is post halo5. Even if halo6 is in development it wont take up a huge team atm

Inb4 people say MCC is all 343s fault
Inb4 idiots say bungie would have done it better given the same dead line
Inb4 people forget Haloce. Halo2 and halo3 had huge cuts due to time deadlines

Be that as it may, 343 had next to no responsibility for the MCC as it was. They should have been easily able to handle the one component of the game they were resp I nsivle for in the time they had. Hell, they STILL haven't handled it, almost 2 years later.

If bungie added sprint early on people would love it

If bungie failed MCC people would forgive and thank them

If bungie legit did anything 343 did thats wrong its forgiven

If bungie did anything good 343 has done its ultra praise and love

Not yet, but I really hope they implement it. The only exisitng version of Ninja Gaiden Black outside of the retail one is the Xbox Classic version for the 360, and Team Ninja lost the source code for both Vanilla, Black, and 2, which is why they made the Sigmas so they can never do an HD version

Didn't they?

Tbh alot of Halo 4's failings came about because 343 just kept walking down the path Bungie set for them. Halo 5 was them scrambling backwards to a pre-Reach gamestyle and taking another route.

No, Halo's direction with Reach onward is the issue. Bungie used the armor abilities as more of a test for Destiny and 343 foolishly thought thats what Halo needs to expand on. Removing sprint would cause such a positive domino effect, but we're two games in and millions of fan complaining to remove it and 343 still wont listen.

I fully expect 6 to include wall running and character classes because thats what's in right now.

She's just a useless character in general, she's nothing more than a gurrll power character in a series that doesn't need it that. Jennifer Hale must be being blackmailed to voice her or something.

I'm amazed none of the surviving SII's slapped her shit around for trying to kill Halsey considering they regard her as their mother. Then I remember it's 343 and their OC characters aren't allowed to be harmed.

The filmography of I was terrible at the end. The plot is moving in four different directions at once. It should've been condensed to two.
The CIS's attack on Coruscant at the beginning of III had an asspull explanation and the 10 minute fight between Anakin and Obi at the end was unnecessary.
And Anakin also convinently ignores the fact that Sheev just fucking murdered four jedi masters in a matter of seconds, which would make Sheev a bad guy to anyone, even Anakin, who acts like a cunt throughout both II and III.

If they'd even hinted at the fact that the Flood/Precursors are behind the Didact and Cortana's actions, it'd have helped Halo 5 so much. Not enough to make it a good story, not without some other major changes, but maybe enough to say it was average and pave the way for a Myth Arc in Halo 6.

Yeah but that's the thing, in Warzone you actually have the option to counter with an appropiate weapon instead. You're just nitpicking hypothetical one-sided scenarios.
>>
>>153882075
>>153882297

I'm judging this by how I've experienced it.

That is, Warzone's such a clusterfuck, you're lucky to survive 30 seconds in your tank without someone jacking/EMPing it, or a sword without someone sniping you with BRs, DMRs, Snipers, etc., so it's almost a waste using any high-end stuff.

I honestly just save most every vehicle REQ for Firefight. I think the scam here is that people pay money for stuff that they can easily get with a couple minutes of play, and stuff they'll be lucky to even lose without losing it 10 seconds after spawning.
>>
>>153882829
I don't think so, i'll only use BR/Needler, i'll put some higher rarity swords, hammers and scattershots in the map for you.
>>
>>153882847
>You're just nitpicking hypothetical one-sided scenarios.
When the fuck are two people that chose swords for this life not going to be in sword range? They're gonna meet in an armory, attacking and defending, and one will die. And it will always be the one with the weaker sword.
>>
>>153882987
What's your tag? That wasn't the scenario anyways.
There's a big difference between rare sword, hammer, scatter shot and the legendary ones. It was also you capturing an armory.
>>
>>153883003
2 people with swords of different rarity, staying alive enough to find each other, in a crowded Armory of all places and deciding to fight each other with melee weapons has very, very small chance of actually happening.

Assuming the person using it is constantly scoped in and camping, it's usually an easy matter to sneak around back and assassinate him. Active camouflage usually helps.

I'll give you this one, the only reasonable counter I can offer is to stay the fuck away and wait for them to run out of ammunition. Maybe sneak up and assassinate if he's camping.

I almost never choose swords, m8. I've got a healthy fortune saved up in all 4 of them.

My halls are adorned with the heads of fools who run around Warzone with them, too.

That said, I think the point of pay2win would be that people who pay gain access to something that people who don't cannot. As opposed to something that can be earned easily through playing. I'd also hedge my bets on a veteran player who has earned high-level REQs, over a kid who got his mom to cough up dough for them.

>I almost never choose swords, m8. I've got a healthy fortune saved up in all 4 of them.
That's fantastic for you. Shame it's irrelevant.
Two players walk into a good spot for swords, one with a tier 1 sword and the other with a tier 2. Who wins?
>>
>>153883319
I don't know, none of them have an armory. The Rig?
>>
>>153883905

I guess it depends on the skill of the players. Can the player with a better sword utilize it properly? Is the one with the basic sword a better player? Are they both aware of one another, or is the base-Sword user crouched and creeping? And does he have backup?

I think the exercise itself is irrelevant, though, because this scenario could easily play out if one, both, or neither paid for their REQs. So it wouldn't be play2win.

It's more than that and you're ignoring it on purpose. Since 2, Halo had used cosmetics as an incentive to play every inch of the game. In 5, there's no reason to even touch campaign. I wouldn't doubt it if whatever comes after 6 was matchmaking-only with no campaign.

>>
>>153904618

No, the "bitching" he referred to was purely an argument over whether REQs constituted a "pay to win" game. Its impact on customization was not an issue until now.

>>

I could

Though in all seriousness if what you're trying to say is that 343 made it impossible to win unless one pays for REQs, I think that's demonstrably untrue when the average player can easily hold his own with what he earns with a single game.

Personally, I haven't paid a cent and I'm generally one of the top players. Even then I rarely roll out anything stronger than a Ghost, maybe an Ultra.

Those discussions were irrelevant to the current ones that center around non-customization REQ aspects. I was always aware of them, they just have no bearing on the issue raised; namely, that players aren't forced to buy REQ packs simply to continue playing even the most basic of gamemodes.

Nope, the discussion was about "No one remembers the cash grab that was releasing a new map pack and if you didnt buy you could no longer play multiplayer" which was not only a lie, but the truth of that was preferable to the REQ system.

Except it isn't a lie.

You could play multiplayer but I can confirm his assertion, not buying the map packs locked people out of all but one or two modes.

I recall discussion on Waypoint where the merits of that system versus Reach (where you didn't need to buy the map packs) were compared; the argument in the former's favor was that the maps wouldn't be played as often if people weren't forced to buy them, so it was fair to do so.

Look it up, m8. Most of the playlists locked you out if you didn't buy the DLC.

This is false. The highest it ever got was Halo 3, where three playlists were locked, and this was only after ODST came out with a disc that had everything on it.

Bungie updated the playlists to mostly require DLC a little bit after ODST's launch.

>>153907439
No, they had DLC options, but few required more than the free Heroic pack. They'd skip the others if people didn't have them.
>>
>>153907298

You've been given a direct link proving that at least 10 playlists in Halo 3 were locked unless all of the DLC maps were purchased. There's no higher proof against your claim that "The highest it ever got was ... three playlists... and this was only after ODST came out..."

There's no changed story. Halo 3 required one to purchase add-ons to continue playing its multiplayer. That's all there is to it.

Prove that 343 changed any of the Halo 3 playlists. They wanted to do a playlist consolidation before H4 came out, but they ended up not being able to do it.
>>
>>153907902

2008 ain't 2013, m8. Your claim was that 343 locked out those playlists when they came in possession of the games. In fact, what you've posted only confirms the points you've previously denied:

>You don't need any map packs, you'll be extremely limited on what you can do without them.
>No, you do not need all of the map packs to play online, you do however, have to have them for alot of the game
>To fully enjoy the online play, yes; most of the Matchmaking playlists will require some type of DLC to play them.

If we're not gonna see anything official that explicitly proves 343 is responsible for locking out the playlists (contradicting your own links in so doing) than there's no real point in continuing this.

You have to prove what they mean by "limited", especially since, if you keep looking, the playlists that required paid DLC fluctuated. At one point, Lone Wolves required it, but then it didn't later.
>If we're not gonna see anything official that explicitly proves 343 is responsible for locking out the playlists (contradicting your own links in so doing) than there's no real point in continuing this.
Anon, you made the claim that all of Halo 3 required DLC to play online. You have to prove that it did, and all you posted was 343 saying that you required it in 2013. Prove yourself right. Until then, the only "proof" is that 343 required all DLC for every playlist but we have documented sources saying that you didn't back in 2007, 2008, and 2011.

Never said the whole thing, m8. I said:

>You could play multiplayer but I can confirm his assertion, not buying the map packs locked people out of all but one or two modes.

Which I'll revise to reflect that maybe more than 1 or 2 were available. That most of the game was locked for the sake of getting people to buy DLC, however, is still as stolid a fact as ever.

Here is the final update Bungie made to Halo 3.
https://elderstv.wordpress.com/2010/07/01/halo-3-matchmaking-updates/
Compare the lists of playlists that require DLC to the Waypoint link from 2013. So unless some grunt wandered its way in and changed the playlists, the only other people that could do that would be 343, who were handed control of the Halo playlists a few months later.
>>
>>153909174
>over 50% of the playlists require DLC, with most of those being totally dead even at the time of that post
This was the initial argument.
>>
>>153909174

>"No one remembers the cash grab that was releasing a new map pack and if you didnt buy you could no longer play multiplayer."

That was someone else? Hence why I was only confirming it...

We'd also need proof this was the *final* update. That half the multiplayer was cut off for the sake of encouraging DLC purchases is still a good example of a cash grab, as well.
>>
>>153909416
>This was the initial argument.
Nope, the initial argument was " if you didnt buy you could no longer play multiplayer" which is a lie. Well over 50% was playable without paid DLC until the playlists magically changed after Bungie left but the game became free for a month.
>>
>>153909531
>Well over 50% was playable without paid DLC
According to that article you posted, no.
>>
>>153909520
>We'd also need proof this was the *final* update.
Find a later one.

>>153909603
In 2010 after the game had been out for three years, ODST had been out for one, and a new game was coming up.
>>
>>153909664
And when Bungie was still in control. Stop lying.
>>
>>153909698
You can't read, can you? Some moron claimed that 343 can't update the playlists anymore, but you can see a clear change in what did and did not require DLC between 2010 and 2013, and Bungie's last update was 2010.
>>
You can keep looking for later, non-343 updates. I'm going to go to bed. You'll need that time to keep looking.
>>
I guess we're all forgetting about the ODST disc that came with all the multiplayer stuff for Halo 3. All you had to do at that point was pick up a preowned copy for a fiver if you were really low on budget and you'd have everything. I'd say making playlists DLC locked is fair enough.
>>
>>153910852
Don't forget that Heroic was free two months after release, and Legendary was $2 three months after release.

Well if you couldn't put a small bit of money towards getting a kick-ass campaign, firefight and all the multiplayer for Halo 3, but you support microtransactions/ random packs to let a half-baked game finally reach v1.0 8 months after release and cancerous shit like that in more recent AAA titles, I'd question what fantasy universe you're living in.

Thank you all for proving my point about how bungie locked you out unless you bought all the maps.

Now they are protrayed as the good guys compared to 343 which give you all maps for free but have micro transactions for a small portion of multilayer.

You idiots have been played. 343 shipped a game prematurely and finished the game post launch with content updates and they made it sound like they were doing you the favor.

If any of you actually paid real money for req packs, fucking end yourselves. you have paid for an unfinished game twice.

I have seen this several times now.

Bungie is flawed, they make mistakes. Everyone is aware of this and that is ok.

But part of someone making a mistake is learning from it. 343 clearly haven't llearned from bungie's mistakes. Bungie gets a pass because they tried something new and it didn't work. 343 gets criticism for doing the exact same thing

tl;dr 343 is that unoriginal, they can't even make their own mistakes.
>>
>>153931460

I was joking with the original post. Partially.

Though if I've read correctly the amount of maps that could be called "good" in Reach are few or none. On top of that:

>Armor Lock
>Active Camo
>Jetpack
>Bloom
>Shield Bleedthrough (Lack of it)
>Feral Elites
>Non-English Covies
>Unequal starts

And whatever else people were complaining about.

They dont get money on updates and DLC and req packs dont require a dime unless you want to.

Played us how. Making you wait for free shit? Oh yes 343 is playing us guiz. They make zero bucks and only money they make us cheap as fuck req packs that arent even forced.

But i assume bungie didnt play us forcing DLC. Even one on a separate disc that was forced.

Also love how people dont talk how DLC costing money was bad but that a cheap req pack is? Because I currently have 12 + req packs ready to open with zero money spend

Ive spent more on bungie DLC than anything 343
>>
>>153931803

That's convenient but if some people want an excuse, whatever.

Another way to look at it is that 343 had to double back and clean up the mess Bungie left.

But they are doing some good. MCC was something they didnt need to do. They did anyway. Messed up yes. But was it like they did it on purpose.

343 is pretty incompetent. Maybe dumb. But they arent evil or greedy or shitty.

Also even if halo5 had more shit on launch would it have helped much?

Also Halo5 had a huge increase in players in the last few weeks. Free to play. Updates every month. Firefight. Custom Game Browser coming. And more. Halo5 will probably if not already saved Halos community

Once 343 stops being cunts and actually releases player counts. I know to take what 343 says with a grain of salt but according to sources Halo5 went to Halo3 levels of player count and is still going strong

Once custom game finder and file browser is added on top of Windows 10 forge(customs?) We will see a much more united. Friendly and supportive community. One that hasnt been that good since Halo3

And if 343 keeps it up and listens and learns they could very much bring back Halo to better terms. A lot of people already play it. And it hasnt dropped as bad as halo 4 or reach

Is this guy for real? Halo 5 had a bump about a month ago, which brought it to roughly 30-35k. In the last 2 weeks its pop has PLUMMETED! It's only going to go down more as Battlefield 1, Infinite Warfare, Titanfall, and more launch.

They hired the Republic Commando Guy and he insisted on the squad mechanic and the whole game had to be retooled around it and this took enough time and effort to do that a significant amount of the planned campaign got cut.
The story also had to be reworked around the now shorter campaign, that's why it seems so disjointed and cut down.

Because games often go above 5 in the Most Played of Xbox Live and they offer real numbers. So if 5 is ever below one of those games, it means it has less than that game's numbers.
For example, just the other day it was below Battlefield 4 which says on its website that it had 35,000 online players.

They were, but they were not on the disc. They required a minor download they put through with an update

I was playing BF4 yesterday and i thought it would be cool to have a Test Range map like that game, with all the weapons and vehicles. Has anyone made that in Forge?
>>
>>153938740
I'm sue someone has, but it's not that hard to just make it yourself.
>>
>>153938558
Not on launch. They were part of a later update.
According to the spanish Halopedia, which is the only place that seems to remember them, Cliffhanger was made by "Bungie employees" but it doesn't say if they were even qualified.

Don't have an xbone and my 360 is bricked. I mostly play custom edition.

>>153940835
Why would I like that. It just reminds me of the reality we live in. It does make me feel nostalgic though I almost want to go back and play 3 again even though I honestly fucking hated 3 at the time
>>
>>153942742
Could just as easily be a drone camera.
>>
>>153940835
Pretty good comparisons, though I did think it was kinda funny that Miranda's Citadel scene was there when talking about how good Bungie was.

And I disagree with Bungie on wanting John being a blank slate. I mean, it's already known what he mostly looks like under there, and he has had characterization in the books. Seems silly to do a blank slate in the games, if he's already not one elsewhere.
>>
>>153944154
To be honest, Bungie was awful at implementing lore into their games.
>>
>>153944349
They still are
>>
>>153940387
>you can't tell me not to play the game while I meanwhile take a spot that could be held by someone far more active
You're right, I cant, unfortunately.
>>
>>153944349
Yeah. And apparently they didn't even want Nylund to publish Fall of Reach because they didn't want the game to have a backstory.
>>
>>153944491
Destiny has some really interesting lore but having to go to a website and read some fucking cards is the most fucktarded decision I've ever fucking heard. Jesus Christ.
>>
>>153944154
The point was more that focusing on in-depth character development in the games isn't really what Halo is all about, particularly where the Chief is concerned.
>>
>>153940835
Fuuuck man.

This makes me want Staten back so bad, hope ReCore is good.
>>
>>153945481
On the contrary, i hope ReCore bombs so they put him back in Halo.

Multiplayer is great. It's the campaign that is a piece of shit; it's the literal opposite of halo 4.

Is it similar to 3? Or is it it's own thing.

He's only producing. The game doesn't look amazing, just like a 3D metroid prime with color coded enemies, but it doesn't look terrible
>>
>>153937050

I dunno, man, why would /hg/ pile on someone if he came in and said "I thought Halo 5 had a good campaign"?

It's because they're empirically wrong. It doesn't matter how many kiddies get upset about it or how many memes are spouted. There's nothing for it but to admit that it sucked and move on.
>>
>>153946798
>empirically
I don't think you know what that words means.
>>
>>153946414
Anon, I'm not him, but that's not how english works. If the only metrics are Halo 3, Halo 5, and "the worst", saying which is behind which is implying one is at the end. You implied that 4 was the worst.

Gotta face facts, man. Sorry people wised up about Baby's First Halo.

I'd really love to know what's so fucking big, because the textures sure as hell don't justify all that space.
>>
>>153952964
Many of the things in Halo 5 are reskins, or the same models flipped around like Armories and Garages.
343 did not just copy paste these things, or make different textures for new armor. They made whole new model files for everything. So if four players in a match wore the different versions of Athlon, instead of loading one model and applying four textures, it loads four models and four textures.
>>

I don't know if this is a good or bad thing.
