Yeah Yeah that's great and all. We made it a year.

But now what?
What will keep us going? Nobody is excited for Halo Wars 2.

>>158568313
It's been over a year. The general started back up consistently before Spartan Companies were activated, which was like ten days before launch.

Now that the dust has settled, what's the consensus?

8/10 with all content

>>158570740

6/10

It's an overall meh package. I can completely understand why some people like it more than Reach. At the same time, I can completely understand why others like Reach more. It improves from Halo 4 in enough areas, but it's still a deeply flawed game.

5/10.
Buggy, still lacks content, playlists and ranking are shit and make matchmaking unfun, pay to win modes.
It functions as a game, but not a good one.

>>158570740
6/10 at the absolute most.

That's including all the """""new""""" content.
The campaign is fucking trash. Nothing more needs to be said at this point about how abysmal it is.
The core gameplay of the multiplayer is for the most part solid, more so than Halo 3 I would argue, so it's too bad that it is surrounded by terrible things that distract from being able to appreciate this, whether it be unnecessary gimmicks (ADS, ground pound) or probably the worst map roster in the series.
Forge is the best it's ever been and as a result, the potential for custom games are at their peak, so it's too bad that the game is limited to one player per console and requires a gold subscription.
That's the biggest problem with Halo 5; there's a good game here, underneath all the shit, but it's so far burried, that you really have to hold your nose and look the other way to pretend it's anything special.

5/10

It deserves a 50% grade, and I stress that specific number, because everything they do or add to this game, be it at launch or post launch, no matter how good it sounds, it's always a double sided sword.

5/10

There's fun to be had, but you have to sift through the overbearing amounts of bad design, lies, and broken promises.

Daily reminder that

>If youre older than 18 and whine about shit that doesn't evolve money or game features. You are a child

>If you hate halo5 but still play it you are stupid. Or you like Halo5 and are too immature to admit it. I assume peer pressure does exist online....

>HALO3 on 360 and Xbone work. You can easily play that if Halos so bad now.

>Nostalgia does exist and does put a big favor for older things. Dont assume Halos ever going to feel like Halo3. It never will. Even Halo3 wont feel like it did in 07

>Free DLC with some shitty implemented Req Packs for one mode is a lot nicer than "Pay fucking money for this DLC map pack or else you cant play half the playlists"

>>158581178

Oh and the first point

Not having a game mode: actual problem 343 should and better fix

Grunts and jackals looking ugly: subjective muh feels. Also as if species with billions+ population with galactic spanning travel would never have sub species

>See Skirmisher
>See dogs or birds or fish or any animal. Or even humans

And no "buh ones reptile n ones not" is not a point against the fact its very possible for both grunt or jackal or whatever species to exist.

>>158580889
Bad design what?

What broken promises?

What lies?

Were you around during Bungie era. Or you just found /hg/ and wanted to bitch about a company without knowing the ones before hand were lying per game. Even now with Destiny

But keep shouting your immaturity and hypocritical bullshit. Go ahead. Lie to yourselves about how you hate 343 but some reason just keep playing it.

I assume the "everyone is an asshole and bitter" trope is true about anyone on 4chan

Did they? The only major case I can think of is how Halo 2 was pretty much cut in half, and that's more down to Microsoft pushing the release date forward than Bungie deliberately cutting things.

Honestly were you on bungie.net during Halo3. When New Mombasa and Zanzibar were up. Do you even know what those were? Was your first Halo on the Xbone? Are you trying to sound like an ignorant cunt?

Cute, and yes, I was around during that time, but that doesn't exactly answer my question. I asked for examples of how Bungie outright lied to their fans or reneged on what they said they'd accomplish. We already know that Halo has turned into a shitshow under 343i, that's not the question here.

>>158595265

Cunt that was years ago. I am not going to find points from years old articles

Its easy to point out 343 shit because its happening now. Bungie did it almost ten years ago. Like im going to be able to find exact details. Im not doing homework for your autistic ass to feel special

Also sperging. Calling out actual points is not autistic. What is autistic is whining about Halo5 but playing it while sucking Bungies smelly balls but not playing thier games.

Or like whining about "why do forunner things float" or "why does this not look like Halo3". Thats autism. So either youre as autistic as me, or nobody is.

>>158594986
That's all well and good, but I must remind you of

>>158595632
>Bungie did it years ago
>but my memory's too shit to remember examples
Alright, grandpa, time to go take your meds and have some nap time. You know you get cranky if you don't go to bed on time.

Also whining "you cant find evidence from nearly ten years ago reeeeeee" is not a counter argument. If 343 and Bungie swapped "eras" youd be defending 343.

And Halos gone to shit?

No you became bitter and old. You look for things to hate instead of organizing your priorities. Youre in your 20s and you think different designs are worth crying over.

When you were playing Halo1/2/3 you probably didnt have a job, probably no college, probably little to no problems. Now youre fucked with taxes, work, school, problems and stress.

When you loved halo3 you played with your friends from the block. After school. Now you have no friends or they all left and moved on.

Halo didnt go to shit. You just forgot how to have fun. You let your stressful depressing lives ruin things. Just look at you all

You cant even enjoy Halo3 because you can barely organize a game because "its too hard". I mean do you even enjoy any game now the way you did when you were 15....

>>158596270
>Also whining "you cant find evidence from nearly ten years ago reeeeeee" is not a counter argument.
Yes it is. You're saying they did something. Go show they did it.

>>158596008
>Reach
Delivered exactly what was promised. I don't recall Bungie promising any features that ended up cut or missed out from the full game upon release. In fact, for all of Reach's flaws, I believe it shipped as a full game exactly as intended, with content being added and expanded upon later with further DLC. No missing Theater Mode, no missing Forge, no missing playlists.

That's a far cry from 'we'll ship a third of a game now and then slowly drip-feed the game via IV for the next twelve months' and 'Hunt the Truth' becoming 'Adventures with Locke & Co'. Bungie games shipped fully-fledged on day one and featured everything that was promised by the developers, flaws and all.

>>158596270

Like I play and people literally spend the entire game whining. I mean how can people have fun if someones going

>This map sucks
>This custom sucks
>No matchmaking omg that sucks
>Fuck this game

Its annoying. Why the hell even play if you hate something so much. Do you forget yourself to do things you hate?

Ill wait for the "hurr durr you mad bro" trolling Ill get. But you cant hide the fact most of you are depressed bitter people who lost your enjoyment years ago. Calling me names wont fix your sad lives. Sorry

No faggot. Something that was ten years ago isnt exactly shit you can find. Bungie.net doesnt even look the same.

If this was 2010 I probably could. Or someone with more time. But just because I cant find shit from when I was 16or so doesnt mean it doesnt exist

Im not doing homework faggot. You arent paying me. You arent my boss. And you arent sucking my dick. So heres your evidence

>BUNGIE LIED AND MADE PLENTY OF FALSE CLAIMS AND STILL DO WITH DESTINY AND IF YOU THINK THEY WERE SAINTS WHO EVERYONE LOVED YOU PROBABLY DIDNT GO ON BUNGIE.NET WHEN HALO2 OR HALO3 CAME OUT.

>>158598004
I'm at level 85 how long does it take from here

>>158598116
I finished mine around the early 110-120 mark. Use your RP boosts, and like I said - don't fall for the special packs they offer up. You get a poorer value for your RP, meaning you'll be spending more time grubbing to finish your unlocks - especially when there's no guarantee that you'll get what you want from these packs.

>>158598732

Not him, but I do remember Bungie lying about Halo 2 and Reach. Bungie never lied about ODST though game was never meant to be a stealth based game to begin with.

"TGS 2008: Bungie drops Halo 3: Recon details"

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/tgs-2008-bungie-drops-halo-3-recon-details/1100-6199075/?comment_page=3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfW-S6BKqIs

Master Chief was also supposed to be playable in what became Arbiter's missions as the image on the left shows.

>>158599507
So you gonna post any proof? You posted an entire article with no quote, a video that they said wasn't representative of gameplay, and a prototype of Reach. That's not lying.
Lying is when you say your entire game is the greatest hunt in gaming history, but stop being a hunt after two missions, despite what the marketing campaign said.

>>158599507
Counter to >>158599819 I'll give you those examples to a point.

Here is a Bungie.net forum post of most of the lies from back then.

http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=4428569&postRepeater1-p=1

I don't know about the other guy but I pretty much got over it after they made up for Halo 2's issues with the campaign with Halo 3. The article was to prove to anyone who said otherwise about Bungie lying about ODST to be false, I didn't need to quote anything from that article because I had already stated before Bungie never lied about it since some believed that ODST was once upon of time a stealth based game when it never was. Well you are right about Reach I should've posted this instead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs2TPo7z0sM [Embed]

Has cutscenes that are not in the final product. There is also the game's VGA 2009 trailer which shows the fall of Reach taking place almost immediately, similar to the book.

Go fuck yourself, you disingenuous cuck. Of course it won't feel the same. Its population is dead, hackers are abound, it's no longer supported, etc.

Is that what I fucking said? Christ. You can critisize Bungie all you want but at least come up with something remotely comparable other than "Earth will never be the same". I'm not a fanboy. Every Bungie game has its flaws, it just so happens that both 343 games are overflowing with them and thats without the incredibly misleading marketing

>>158607959
Roughly 90% of the reach deflection tactic in support of 5 is Sigmund and Dew.

Most people are not actually autistic enough to defend 5.

3>1>2>5>reach>odst>The mythic map pack>4

>>158608113

I'll give you Sigmund. Every time I'm in chat with him he shits on Reach and I know he posts here a shitload, but you have no evidence to support Dew being implicated in that tactic as well.

Reach is, always has been, and always will be, shit. How's it feel to be caught in the cycle like a huge faggot?

>>158608146
Unironically this

I've been conducting a survey of people's opinions on the Halo series over the course of the last several months and I've noticed that people that rank Halo 3 at the top almost always first played it when they were age 13 or younger.

Interestingly enough the same can not be said about CE and 2. People that started with CE by no means tend to always like it the most.

>personal disclaimer
Halo 2 is my favorite Halo, followed by 3.

>>158608556
2>1>3>5>reach>odst>The mythic map pack>4
Better?

>>158608938
>Reach is shit
I can understand that opinion, Reach did a lot to-
>but 5 isn't
Ok, yeah, no. You're as appologist as they come.

>>158608938
Halo Reach is a better game than Halo 5.
Halo 5's campaign and horrible practices weigh it down so fucking much.

>>158609086
>you can't like this thing more than other thing or you're an APOLOGIST!
Ad hominem is a terrible way to present your argument. I hate 4, and I hate Reach, so am I still an "apologist?" :^)

Why is Reach always the target for appologist attacks?

>>158609318
Everyone hated Reach with a passion until 4 came out, then it was "not as bad as we though" and now that 5 is out it's a "gud boy dindu nuffin."
It's the cycle, and if anything people who defend Reach are apologists.

>>158609318
>Why is Reach always the target for appologist attacks?
Because the few people actually presenting the argument are mostly doing it out of contrarianism.

Make no mistake, Reach was hated by the core community on release and for good reason, but pretend 5 is this Knight in shining armor in comparison... no, just no. It's fine to hate Reach, but at least acknowledge 5 for being a pretty bad entry as well.

>>158601931
>posting a back cover that proves yourself wrong
>when none of this appeared in the game.
If you played Reach, you'd know it does. Only the group shot at the outside of Swordbase doesn't happen because the team never is full like that in a heroic shot. I get you really need to reach, but don't lie like 343 does.

Things reach did well: Customization and Invasion

>>158608113
Reach is poop though. Very fleshed out poop, filled to the brim with peanuts and corn and bits of lettuce, but poop nonetheless.

>>158609542
Nobody's pretending that 5 is a knight in shining armor, they're just saying it's better than Reach. And if anything, they're right for two reasons, those being;
1. No bloom
and
2. NO ARMOR ABILITIES

>>158609650
>Things reach did well: Customization and Invasion
And actually launching with content
And having split screen
And having system link
And having core game modes we are used to at launch
And having forge at launch
And not requiring an XBL gold subscription to play the fucking game we already payed for
And not having an absurdly shit campaign
And having a theater mode that actually works
And launching with firefight that actually plays like firefight
And giving us great Spartan asses

>>158609959

Maybe in specific areas. Overall? Not even close.

>>158609959
>And if anything, they're right
No.

>>158609959
>armor abilities suck
Yes
>Spartan abilities are ok
No

The campaign alone puts Reach above 5. Holy shit that campaign was horrible.

>>158605872
He never said that I did, and yes Bungie lied with both Halo 2 and Reach, Halo 3 kept me back in the game after Halo 2's campaign disappointed me. Halo:Reach as a whole was disappointing, don't get mad that I posted actual proof of Bungie lying through their teeth. The only thing I give Bungie points on is that they apologies for Halo 2's campaign, something 343 hasn't done with Halo 5.

>>158609625
Are you smoking? literally a majority of those cutscenes never happened. I sure as hell don't remember Emile killing a Jackal with his knife or Kat using Jorge as a shield.

>>158609959
I'm no fan of Reach, but if we're taking everything into account, it's really hard to say 5 is better. The campaign was by far the worst in the series hands down, and the buisness practices around 5 are atrocious. Oh and let's not forget no splitscreen, a staple of the series.

>>158609385
Not true

I always liked reach, always hated 4

>>158610214
>I sure as hell don't remember Emile killing a Jackal with his knife or Kat using Jorge as a shield.
It's during gameplay. Stop and watch them. What Emile does, he does when you get to the rocket banshee part of Sword Base at the very end. Kat uses Jorge as a shield any time they're near eachother in a fight.

>>158610214
>Bungie lying through their teeth

You're still trying to big up these "lies" to be much bigger than they are

I come back after a month of playing Gow4 only to see people saying Reach is better than 5?
I guess i'm leaving again.

>>158610445
>Post count didn't go up
You're not fooling anybody

>>158610445
I like 5's core multi more, but as an overall game Reach is much better

>>158610125
Yeah man, I LOVED running through and never shooting anything. Such a good campaign!

>>158610048
What it comes down to for me is core mechanics. I hated Reach's. I like 5's. Halo 5 has and had an unforgivable lack of content, but at least it isn't fundamentally bad.

>Stop liking what I don't like more than the game that I like: the thread

At least 5 made me fight the enemies, even if Prometheans aren't fun.

There hasn't been a good Halo campaign since 2.
As an added note
>Reach babby has to pretend to be Red
Wew

>>158610326
He's not even in the New Alexandria level, he's only in the final cutscene. The particular cutscene of Emile killing a Jackal or Skirmisher was in the New Alexandria level.

>>158610370
It Kind of was, people were pissed that we only spent 3 missions on Earth and spent most the game on another space donut half the time as a space dino.

>>158611556
>At least 5 made me fight the enemies, even if Prometheans aren't fun.
Only at a few parts. Most of the campaign can be skipped just like Reach.

>>158611703
>try to run through

He's got a point, but yeah you can run through if you're careful enough.

>>158611930
>but yeah you can run through if you're careful enough.
You're supposed to run through almost all of it. There's even dialogue for doing that. The entirety of the first Sanghelios mission, except for the hunters in the middle where you get the Mantis, you can sprint through. Nothing is there to stop you.

>>158611556
Why do people value Red's opinion so much?

>>158612703
>Why do people value Red's opinion so much?
Because he generally doesn't flaunt his opinions, despite being with the franchise from the beginning.

That being said, he's no saint. He's as normie as they come and probably an alcoholic.

No she doesn't, that was only shown in that Halsey trailer before the game was released.

It's not that people value his opinion more than anyone else's, it's just that he has played a lot of Halo and generally likes all the games, so someone pretending to be him and shit on a specific game is pretty low sport tier.

>>158613179

Sort of.

On the one hand, her work really did save the human race. On the other, she didn't really intend them to fight aliens, she created the Spartans to fight humans. On the OTHER, all the experts seemed to agree that an intergalactic Civil War would result in not only the death of billions, but the "downfall of human civilization".

So I dunno. I guess if you find it just that the cost for the methods through which her work was fulfilled is the loss of freedom and practical enslavement through which she may continue aiding humanity to the best of her ability, than yeah, she's right.

...how?

Multiplayer was trash, customs were trash, campaign was mediocre. Just curious as to where the fun came into it

>>158664862
You just described Reach.

>>158667236
Campaign was better and more consistent than 4 with less filler. Customs were actually great in Reach with expanded options for customization and it actually had proper Infection, instead of Flood. Whilst both games messed with the overall gameplay, Reach did much less.

>>158667464
Not him but I will argue with that, I found Reach boring from start to finish, I thought "Tip of the Spear" and "Long Night of Solace" would change that but it didn't. "Long Night of Solace" was Reach's best mission next to "New Alexandria" but I found both mediocre compared to anything out of the Halo Trilogy. In truth the only level in Halo Reach I did like was "Lone Wolf" but it's so short that I wouldn't even call it a level.
With Halo 4 I found the campaign to be okay but no where near as god as Halo 1-3, just better than Reach. I enjoy the first three levels of 4 and the "Composer" level, everything else was mediocre at best but didn't hit Reach's lows. Plus it felt good playing Chief again with the fast movement, stronger shielding, and higher jump height, without the interference of bloom on the weapons, after how slow Reach was along with how bland in color it was, Halo 4 campaign felt like a relief.

It just doesn't fix my main beef with infection: most of the maps have crates placed in a location that not just enables but encourages players to group up against a wall in a chokepoint and then just turkey shoot until the round ends.

I think zombies should be able to pick up grenades. You'd solve the fuck out of that problem.

>>158668904
How the fuck was I stirring up drama? Sorry that you're a sensitive little flower, I only asked how exactly you had the most fun with Halo 4 since its largely the most hated game in the franchise besides the desperate deflection towards Reach. If you liked it more because you played with friends, don't comment on the other games as you have no clue.

So if you have everything it won't give reqs?

>>158683014
BUT WHICH IS THE REAL RED

>>158683607
Nope, you just get boosts

>>158683014
Daily reminder we wouldn't have these problems if everyone tripfagged

>>158682713
You can't unlock the variants without unlocking Helioskrill basic first.

>>158684316
Really? Why would they do that.

>bite the bullet and use a wraith in WZFF
>by the time you get there the boss is dead

You earned it the real man's way. Nothing to regret

>>158684316
Yes you can. I still don't have helioskrill but I've got the stripy variant

>>158684739
>not spawning an ultra at round start

>>158686518
>ultra

Look at H. E. Pennypacker over here. I've got like, 12 of those. Since launch.

>>158684452
Why reward people with shit they didn't put in the work to get?
>>158686168
Oh. That's gay.

>>158687603
Base helioskrill has been in packs for over half a year now.

>>158687603

Am I too late too post this?

Halo did not invent ringworlds

They're especially common as space station designs in tons of sci fi material

>>158689441
Ring structures have been a thing for ever in scifi.
Is that new COD's nuke town?

>>158688942
Why y'all gotta ask on my DND nights?

MFW people think Halo5 is dead

MFW people think halo5 doesnt have large numbers playing customs. MM. warzone and so on

MFW peoples hate for 343 is so great that they have become spergs about it

MFW custom game browser will just add more players and likeability to 5

MFW the irony is everyone hating 343 and Halo5 will probably be using it for customs

Ill have respect for people here who hate 5 and actually refuse to play it. If you bitch about it but play it still you are a cunt. I mean if you dont play it means you can actually stand up against 343. But if you play it, you cant bitch. Because you should know by now if you like it or not

Cunts

>UNSA
What the fuck.

>>158690632
I ask every weekend.

>>158690943

And dont tell me "its the only game". Well find another game. Or play an older Halo. If someone pegged you in the ass would you all take it because its the only action you could find?

Halo 5 honestly gives me more trouble than MCC at this point.
Whatever algorithm they use doesn't handle low playlist pop well.
