Is Stasis just Torque's map placed on the Glacier Canvas?

>>169731562
Yes.

>>169731562
A few changes, but yes

>>169727024
I'd say they're on a similar level, but with HW2 being a bit easier. The only thing that makes HW2 Legendary hard is having the enemy constantly destroying your units with leader powers. Of course it's usual for the enemy units to have more health and do more damage.

>>169732620
Does it bother anybody else how leader powers are OP cheese? In 1 they weren't that useful unless you took time to fully upgrade them but now they're the easiest way to wipe out enemy units from the get-go

>>169732790
Yeah it's a bit balanced out by the fact that you can rebuild your army a lot faster but ir's still annoying as fuck.

>>169733679
Also spawning an ultimate unit at anytime and then creating an ultimate unit is a bit bullshit, Anders.

>>169732790
I assumed you were asking about legendary campaign, I'm unsure of how the multiplayer ai acts.

>>169734641
I think it's pretty tough, even in Heroic. I get demolished by the AI if i'm not paired with at least 1 half decent teammate.

>>169734641
Pretty much the same

I wish you could still play as Elites in H5.

No gameplay changes, I just liked being an Elite in H3 and Reach and miss it.

Then again my favourite part of the entire series was the Arbiter H2 missions. I would love to spend more time with the races of the covenant.

At least HW/2 lets me play as them.

>>169737408
It would be nice but 343s Elites are pretty bad.

So I finished Halo 3 ODST and now moved over to Reach. Why does it run like shit on the Xbox One? Colors are completely washed out and it feels so slow, character models are not moving correctly but worse it looks like it is 480p or something. Did I do something wrong or is it like that? My TV is 4k btw.

>>169739698
Cartoony Elites > "Realistic" Elites

>>169740758

Their dicks are good either way.

>>169740575
It wasnt made for the Xbox one.

Its basically running on a very shitty 360 emulator

>>169741026
But ODST looks completely fine? I don't even care that much for the graphics but there's so much slowdown happening it's not even much fun to play

>>169731562
That doesn't look like the Glacier Canvas to me

>>169741494
ODST was ported to Xbone. Reach wasn't.

Why is cartoony better?
>>169740575
>>169741026
This is false by the way, reach runs better on the Xbox one than it does on 360. And that's not just my personal opinion, it's a fact

>>169742584
>Why is cartoony better?
Partially because they've mostly been portrayed as being so in the past, also 343s more realistic models are pretty horrendous

>>169742584
Everything about this post is combative.
It's these kinds of posts that turns the thread to shit.

CONGRATS GUYS HERE'S A NEW FREE MAP!

>>169743038
While I'll agree it's a lazy way to give out a new map, we needed stasis because Torque is broken and not fun.

>>169743140
is it bad if I like Torque more? What exactly makes stasis an improvement?

>>169742735
I was legitimately curious about why anon would prefer a cartoon style, wasn't trying to be combative

As for reach, it's true, the framerate analysis videos are out there

>>169742584
>>169743657
I think the goofiness fits Elites better too. They've always been that silly, dino enemy that makes the already cartoony sounding noises. The same goes with the grunts

>>169743815
They could always WAAAAGH with the best of them

>>169737408
The only people who played as elites were spics and retards so which one of those are you?

>>169742584
It might run better, but it still looks like shit

has 343 fixed vehicle welding yet?
basically all of the customs that I have/want to play rely on it in some way,so...

>>169747074
Looks the same as the 360 version or are you saying Reach always looked bad?

>>169747579
Yes.
To both.

Thank you anions for answering my PC halo wars 2 questions.

If it has Atriox it'll probably be bretty gud

So my teammate leaves in the first 5 minutes because the AI rushed us, i call him a pussy, then i get a message from xbox live and my console shuts down by itself. At first i thought i got banned but right now i'm playing like nothing happened but anyway waht the fuck? Back in the day i used to call them faggots that would get raped by a nigger and got away with it.

If I had more points I would add 2x AA (in fact, if you look closely, I had already circled it, but quickly revised it in favor of 2p offline+online Co-op).

As for the grey line through the Campaign option? Game ships with NO CAMPAIGN. There's no campaign DLC either.

>343i: "Fans cannot grasp how deep our story is, and do not approve of our writing? Well, fuck that." *fires writing staff, focuses on multiplayer instead*

Before the lore-fans can start bitching about the lack of story, though, you see that 'map editor' box?

Congratulations, you can now build your own campaign levels from the ground up. AKA community-made missions are now available. Think Halo: Custom Edition, only with Halo 5-tier graphics, physics, and shit like that.

>>169786151
Pisses me off that one can only get to level 13 before Campaign no longer gives XP... what's going to happen when the DLC comes?

>>169790989
Well as I said before you completely get it outside of the AA. I get you sacrificed that for the map editor, which is by far the most appealing item on that board.

I'm not sure the co-op applies to multiplayer though, it looks like it was grouped with the campaign section, but I guess if you're shipping with no campaign at all its fair to give it to multi. But then if that's the case you can probably take a point away from the 2 player online co-op.

>>169791451
Even if I somehow had everything I deemed important checked off, with points to spare, I would still try to tackle other things before going for the 8k resolution.

I know the technology exists, but I don't even think they manufacture 8k screens for the public yet.

Thoughts behind co-op point allocation was just in case the MM player limit didn't count towards user-created campaigns.

If that's not the case, then...

Player-created maps might be able to support up to 16 players, due to being essentially designed with the same program as multiplayer maps. Assuming the devs can get that shit to work, of course (and, of course, content-creators can put set limits on the amount of players that can partake in their missions).

>Are there user-created campaigns in Custom Edition?
Yes, though most of them aren't properly designed when it comes to checkpoints and spawning and just use the standard multiplayer spawning, meaning if you die you start over from the beginning of the level. Area 53 comes to mind.

Some however work as full fledged campaign missions on their own.

It uses custom edition as a base building point from what I understand, but it's not like you can just download a map file for SPV3 and run it through custom edition and get it to play like most custom edition maps.
Someone else can probably clarify this further.

No, you need a program named OpenSauce to run the specific files that SPv3 uses. HCE uses .map files as standard. SPv3 uses .yelo files.

Well they updated to run slightly better than the 360 version if that's what you're asking, but it's still Reach so don't expect the same level of smooth gameplay as the TMCC games.

I like to think that canonically the Sangheili led Covenant Remnants like Jul M'Dama's Storm don't have Drones because they hate them and The Banished don't have Drones on the battlefield because the Brutes use them as a food source.

There are both drones and brutes (including chieftains) in the covenant remnant. We just don't see them in Halo 4 and 5 because 343 is lazy.

is there anything that can save halo 5 until 6 releases

I'm willing to give Halo 4 a pass here because it came out before spartan assault and at the time elites, grunts, Dino jackal s, and hunters were shown to be the only covies in the storm.
However, once spartan assault made it clear that there were also brutes and Drones (and a lot of them at that) Halo 5 should have included them.

It's like how inbetween Halo CE and 2 there were books written that mentioned those same two species, so Bungie put them in Halo 2. But not 343.
For the record I don't hate 343, I think they have potential, but I also think they need to put in more effort. If you're going to mandate that there's brutes and drones in the storm, put them in the main games. If you're going to mandate that there's both subspecies of jackals in the storm (pic related), put them in the main games. And maybe take the time to give the SoS different armor from the enemy covenant.

A lot of people believe that the Locke hunt thing was always going to happen but everything else, including guardians, cortana, and squads, was added in late into development. Something major seems to have happened during development that made them scrap a bunch of plans and start over. The negative reaction to 4 probably had a lot to do with it.

>>169806160
They stopped being ODST. The player character of ODST gets killed and all the other characters stop being ODST and become Spartans. The whole point of Halo ODST was to see the world from the point of view of regular, albeit elite, soldiers, and New Blood just takes a big shit on that

I wonder if this is supposed to be canonically the same group of ODSTs that follows the chief around during his whole time on the ark

>>169809431
>>169809631
Honestly speaking, if you keep them alive at the start of each mission, it makes thing much more fun as you get further into it.
On "The Ark", I like to hijack a prowler and put one in the turret then give a rocket launcher to one who goes in one passenger and then have the sniper get in the other passengers seat.

In "The Covenant", I get in a warthog and give the passenger a fuel rod and make sure the passenger on the mongoose has the Spartan lazer.

If that's case then that means 1 of them canonically died in The Ark as you only get 3 of them in The Covenant.

Same here, in the hornet section i always give a splaser to both of my ODST wingmen.
Also Tsavo is another great mission to protect marines, probably the mission with the most friendly AI you can have alive at the same time. (There's also that elevator section in 5 with a ton of miners but it doesn't last long)

What is it about ending trailers with the hero character LOSING? Why does it happen so often?
Both the e3 trailers for Halo 4 and 5 end with Chief/Locke getting "killed".
Hell, the Gears 4 e3 trailer ended with it too!

World is impressive in size, but barren and minimal in content.
Quests are what you would expect: go here, kill guys, come back, have some diologue.
Dungeons are small, few, and include a whopping (wait for it) 5 arrows!

It's alright. Probably a 6/10, IGN will probably give it a 9.5 because Zelda

Ok hg I've got an interesting question for all of you.
1. What was your first Halo game and how old were you?
2. What is your reason for liking Halo? (Looking for simple answers similar to just multiplayer, story, ect)

For me it was Halo 1 a year after it released on the og xbox in my teens. IMO the story and multiplayer has always been the most important to me in any Halo game. I guess I just generally love Halo, but I do understand it has it's flaws and isn't the perfect franchise.

Hope to hear what you all have to say.

>>169820770
My first Halo videogame was Halo 2 when I was 9.
I got introduced to it by my uncle and cousin and that was some good shit with splitscreen. Now I stick around for the story and MP because I like each and every Halo differently, but equally with love.

>>169821472
Do you still play with your uncle and cousin at all?

>>169820770
CE in 2001.
I was 11.

I was blown away by the nature of the gameplay, both in combat and in the campaign atmosphere and I enjoyed that style all the way through the trilogy and to an extent Reach.
I don't like the new multiplayer as much, but it's going to take a lot more than that to push me away from the series

>>169820770
>hg
Fuck off. I'm not falling for it

>>169821791
I still play other games with my uncle from time to time but my cousin moved to Colorado and he snowboards pretty much all the time.

>>169820770
The first game. I was 12 years old.

Love the multiplayer and USED to love the campaigns. A lot of what you said is similar for me.

>>169822553
I had the same exact feeling about Halo 1. I agree, despite some of the recent titles setbacks I will always find interest in it.

>>169822698
?

>>169822838
Glad that there's people who feel the same way. I'm so happy that Halo became as big as it did for a time.

>>169819916
Combat Evolved when I was 13.
Years later it's still my favorite, but I have an appreciation for all the games. Even the newer ones like reach, 4, and 5, I appreciated what they tried to do, even if they didn't completely succede?

>>169820770
You are literally me, only maybe just a bit older.

I still play CE many times a year to this day, although Skulls in MCC have made for some exciting new experiences.

I used to have this neat painting I found online, I can't find it anymore. This picture here kind of envoys a similar feeling, but not quite. It was a zoomed out picture of a mossy terrain with visible mountains and a river. In the distance there was also a relatively large forerunner tower. A small warthog was seen speeding along the mossy wet terrain. There were storm clouds and it was lightly raining.

That picture (I wish I could find it) really shows off the thing I love most about some of the games: their atmosphere. Perhaps it's appropriate that this thread is called "Exploration Edition", because I love the idea of just being on a forerunner world, once belonged to a now-extinct race, nature has taken over, but left behind are signs of the once powerful race, hidden under roots and patches of grass. Halo games, especially CE, have this atmosphere that just fits, you know?
But I'd love a game where you just speed around exploiting with just your hog. I can't be alone in this.

>>169824104
I've gotta say that I love that kind of "look/atmosphere" aswell. Really gives a sense of time and makes for an interesting scenery.

>>169820770
I was 13 when CE came out and I knew I had to get an Xbox after playing the demo at a friend's house. I've bought and played every halo release at launch since. I've enjoyed all the games, but probably put the most time into 3 and Reach since I was in college and had the time to fuck around playing games during the weekday. I've actually quite enjoyed the multi-player of Halo 4 and 5. I was glad to see armor abilities get toned down a bit in 4 and get completely axed from 5 in favor of abilities everyone has access to at all times.

Storywise, as a big StarCraft fan, I always felt the dynamic between races in the original Halo trilogy was a little derivative of that series (UNSC=Terran, Covenant=Protoss, Flood=Zero, Forerunners=Xel'Naga), so I was excited to see where the story would go after the Flood was neutralized and the Covenant fell apart, but I haven't been too impressed so far. Halo Wars 2 was a step in the right direction I think.

It's very interesting to read about everyones' first interaction with Halo and what's important to them. Keep it up guys!

>>169820770
1. CE. I think I was 8 years old at the time. I still remember being terrified of the hunters on Truth And Reconciliation
2. story, music, enemy variety, art style.

My mother dropped me off at my cousins house and he and my uncle were playing halo 2, i had never played a halo game before then. I decided to join them and though i was absolutely fucking awful at it i had a shitload of fun and have been hooked on the series since. Also what do you mean by "Whats important to them."

>>169829553
Responses like loving the story, art, multiplayer, and social interactions. Just the different factors on what draws all of us to Halo is what I meant.

Gotcha, i just remember how much i loved the levels of 2 and how beautiful they were.

You are not.

New Headset Gets loud as fuck buzzing when turning off the controller, is this normal?

>>169802446
I miss the old Flood designs.

Halo 5 is pretty good. And can point to halo 6 being the best Halo in years

Let's start with the easy shit

>Forge is already amazing. Other then fixing some bugs and obviously expanding. The direction 343 is taking forge is already good. I mean they would have to be total idiots to not make Halo 6 forge the best

>Customs is a close second. But missing modes are dumb. Assuming they don't suck dick 343 can easily have every halo mode and more on day one. With free DLC adding more

>Match Making I'd say is 3rd best. And is probably the best since Halo2-3. But as with customs just needs all modes. Example: BTB should be day one. But Halo5 MM is good.

Now the two more ...."average" modes

>Warzone. Good idea. But needs variety. The same shit bosses and maps and bases suck. Why not covenant themes. Actual areas from campaign. Etc

>AND FUCK OFF ABOUT REQ PACKS ITS NOT FORCED AND UNLESS YOURE A FUCKING IDIOT YOU DONT HSVE TO PAY TO GET ANYTHING IMPORTANT. ALSO FREE DLC IS GOOD AND SHOULD STAY. ILL TAKE SOME SHITTY NOT FORCED DLC FOR ONE MODE OVER FORCING PEOPLE TO PAY FOR MAPS AND LOCKING PLAYLISTS. FUCKING SHIT. DONT PAY. I HAVENT SPENT ANYMORE THAN 60 FROM WHEN I GOT HALO 6.

>Campaign. Was. Pretty. Bad. At best it's just OK. But it set up very good things. Halo 6 is just a Shitty bridge to a much better main land

Let's see
>Destroyed the concept of humanity being top dogs
>Opens up possible Covenant alien allies and enemies
>Guardians can possibly be the next step in Boss Battles (think scarabs but much bigger)

>Got locke n friends story out of the way. Hopefully leading to only Chief or more Chief
>Seeing Chief. Locke Arbiter have to hide like rebels is powerful. Again showing humanity is now weak

And assuming Halo Wars 2 has actual ties to Halo 6 we may see a sub boss.

>But fuck 343 if they kill Boss Nigga Brute before Halo6 or before level 2

Why is getting a 50 while solo such a fucking pain in the ass on MCC?

>>169831581

2002 - 11 years old
Cousin invited to sleep at his house so we could play this new cool game called "Halo". My only shooter before this was Goldeneye for N64 which i loved to death but this Halo was kinda "off", i didn't like it so much, we beat in coop i didn't really enjoy it that much. Some multiplayer here and there but still nothing sparked in me.
Skip two years to Halo 2's launch, same deal, he invites me to play it in coop and to this day i still consider it in my top 3 for the whole franchise. Amazing campaign, story and gameplay with a multiplayer that actually sinked me in for hours and hours.
Shortly after that i decided to go back to CE and to my surprise, it was a lot better than i remembered, funnily enough, for many years i even considered CE to be the best campaign in the series, hands down.

Fast forward a lot of years, my cousin is a DOTAfag and never plays Halo anymore, and now with each year i dislike CE more and more to the point i can rank it at the bottom of my list nowadays. Seems like i've come full circle now.

>>169831304
I honestly think they should just:
>copy/paste 5's current state for Halo 6
>add maps with a more classic/fun design and less symmetrical/arena oriented
>splitscreen (already confirmed thank god)
>a couple of tweaks for the REQ system
>actual unlocks for doing stuff like commendations/achievements
>focus the rest of the time on campaign

Boom!, 10/10 guaranteed.

>>169836347
You can't just "add maps with a more classic/fun design".
Sprint breaks classic map design.
The maps in Halo 5 aren't bad because they're poorly designed, they're bad because they have to accommodate for sprinting spartans.

I will honestly agree to keeping smart scope, ground pound, evade, requiring packs, and all the terrible 343 armor design in the world if they just REMOVE SPRINT

>>169837538
I can agree to these terms.
Everybody wins.

>>169837538
This.
Hell, you mention smart scope, I would gladly let them put iron sights on every weapon, not just smart scope, if they removed sprinting.
