Hey man, I love the Chief, but there's no way he's winning this one unless he's playing on easy.

Even then, 2 hits and you're done.

Highly underrated map.
Great for big team chaotic fun.
I would say turn off Scorps though.

The Arbither is using a sword, so he is going to beat Master Chief.

Don't take this personally, but it's my least favorite of the gearbox PC maps.

It's a big map but it's also very narrow, which doesn't bode well for CO'S weapon sandbox. It creates sort of an endless tug of war.

The bases are also massive. You can get one flag cap and then just stick the whole team in there and play D for the rest of the game.

Spartans have roughly equivalent shielding to that of a elite major (red).
Zealots have 2-4x that shielding, so getting that close to one with a sword is suicide, even for MUH CHIEF

Sometimes people just post images.
That doesn't mean they're spamming just for the sake of ending the thread, because that accomplishes... nothing. The new thread begins where the old one takes off.

>>169923731
>Well 2/5 of those threads were ended early because of the image spamming
Again, this is fairly standard for whenever a new game comes out and traffic increases.
It will die down when the HW2 hype dies off.

I'm surprised that only like 8-12 people from hg actually play HW2 out of the whole company. I guess rts games just don't have a wide appeal.

>>169927257
>I guess rts games just don't have a wide appeal.
They don't, people saying RTS is a dying genre isn't a meme. I blame the shitty mobas.

>>169927257
>I'm surprised that only like 8-12 people from hg actually play HW2 out of the whole company. I guess rts games just don't have a wide appeal.
The vast majority of the company is inactive most of the time.
Of the active few, they represent a minority of the people that visit and browse the general.

The company =/= the general. Never forget that.

There's one thing Halo Wars 2 does fucking perfectly

>>169927483
Halo Wars is a lot more accessible than most other RTS games, though. Even the good HW players would get curb stomped in StarCraft once you have to deal with thing like scouting being mandatory for success, resources running out and forcing you to relocate your base, more complicated tech trees, much more demanding macro and micromanagement of units and especially structures, and so on. Halo Wars is actually comfy to play online whereas something like 40% of StarCraft players are too intimidated to play ranked multi-player.

This meme just doesn't hold up to me, everyone loved Halo CE, 2, and 3, when they were released, and most people still love them.
Also the people that stayed with Halo after CoD tore it apart for the most part liked Reach on Release and still do, the Halo cycle literally only applies to an autistic fraction of /hg/.

>>169980221
>This meme just doesn't hold up to me, everyone loved Halo CE, 2, and 3, when they were released, and most people still love them.
Everyone loved only CE at release.
2 and 3 were heavily criticized by the existing fan base at launch.

>>169980221
Not true at all.
Halo 3 had tons of love, but most of it came from new fans, hence the term Halo 3 babby.
The older fans that were mostly in their late teens/college aged really had problems and complaints about it, specifically about the campaign.

And Halo 2 was criticized by everybody, critically and popularity-wise alike.
That didn't stop it from selling like Candy coated Crack, but there were rabbit complaints about everything. The arbiter missions for example were shat on day and night. It's only now that they're seen with a positive glance.

>>169980221
I don't know how old you were when Halo 2 and 3 released, but I was 16 and 19 respectively and there was a lot of "the previous games were better" sentiment for a while right after both games released. It was kind of hipocritical, because everyone still played the new games anyway, but the resentment was very audibly there.

>>169979612
It's sad how true this is.
But on the flip side it's a good example of not giving too much weight to mob mentality opinion.

>"the new Promethean aggressors are wicked intelligent without being unfair."

>"No console shooter has a richer, deeper, more revered multiplayer history than Halo. So how does Halo 4’s multiplayer suite live up to the legacy in 343’s hands? It’s golden."

>"Its time to stop asking the wuestion of whether Halo 4 is a good or even great game. Instead, its time to start asking a much scarier but also much more exciting question: What is Halo 4 is the BEST halo game?"

Can you faggots really not read?
Or maybe it's just that you have your copy of Halo 3 shoved too far up your Ass to understand what is being said here?

Those are not personal complaints that anon has with the game, they're just a general short list of all the complaints many CE/2 purists had with Halo 3 when it launched. It doesn't mean those complaints are good complaints or even correct complaints. That's just what the mindset was among many fans at the time.

>>169982334

You're completely missing the point.

It's not about whether those issues are valid complaints or not, it's just that those were complaints being brought up at the time of launch. Now it's the exact opposite. Everybody loves halo 3. The cycle is complete.

>>169982334
3babbies don't understand the concept of someone criticizing Halo 3. They can't wrap their heads around it. Most of them were 8-12 when the game released and it literally defined their childhood. Of course they were distanced from what the older crowd was saying about the game at first. To them it was flawless.
Regardless, someone criticizing 3, even in the past, is too much for them to handle. They have to play history revisionist and try to alter Halo 3's history on an online anonymous image board from what actually happened to "no, the game was NEVER criticized by ANYONE!" even though that's so far from the actual truth it's funny.

>>169982334

Halo 2 has the highest critical reception according to metacritic.
There's a really rabid group of people that dislike it because it wasn't what was marketed (sorta), but then again "factions speak louder than herds", but the numbers don't lie. People loved Halo 2. Difference between 5 and 2, is that 2 has a spectacular campaign (going by consensus) and 5 doesn't.

I don't believe that 3's boost was only new players, I think it was people who had played the prior games with friends and suchlike getting into the groove with the new console, but they weren't necessarily new to Halo.

He's just saying that initially the vocal noise had a lot of negativity. It cleared up by summer 2005 when people realized the complaints were pretty dumb, but they were rampant for the first few months.

>>169985705
The cycle isn't an exact science.
Some games escape criticism very quickly (Halo 2, 3) while others take longer (Reach) but all follow the same trend.

>>169985705
Halo 4's problems, for me at least, came from the ridiculously long shield recharge time. You had to sit there with your dick in your hand for so long before you could keep playing. Once I realized you could headshot knights but the indicator to do so was more subtle than a shield pop it became fine.

Assassinating is the easiest way to deal with Knights in both 4 and 5.

Mid term elections are coming up, and the Reach party is looking to make a play for a plurality in the /hg/ senate due to many H5 seats being up for re-election.
Reachfags have outspent 5 shills in advertising over the last 2 months.

>current senate makeup
CE Party: 27 seats
H2 Party: 31 seats
H3 Party: 15 seats
Reach Party: 13 seats
H4 party: 2 seats
H5 Party: 12 seats

Kai has promised to veto any legislation that gets pushed through by the H4 or H5 party. They would need a majority to overrule him.

In Halo Quintuple, you have to shoot the glowing shoulders first. But you can still back smack them for the easy kills, unless they're the ultra 20 lbs pussy and ass knights in WZFF.

Ask for an invite and you'll get right back in. You're also still in the Xbox club most likely.

You have just been asked by 343 industries to determine which 10 Halo 3 will be remade/remastered for the all new Halo 3 Anniversary multiplayer.

Choose wisely

OK. The first online game I really played or remember is Country Strike. Before 1.6. So old fucking school CS. With some half life.....

Halo 5 gives me that feel. And no it's not a "non halo feel". I mean the custom browers. The fun games. Just the vibe brings me back to the days I'd hop on CS and play Rats. OR De_dust. OR Jeep modes

It's a mix of Halo. But modern. And to me a good amount of that classic "server like browser" feel. Just played Andy's Room and thought of Rats from more than 10 years ago

The "mod" like modes people make too remind me of the little mods and things people would make for CS. It's like even after ten+. Probably 15 years. People who create always know what's fun.

I bet 20 years from now gamers will still make similar customs. Mods. And maps. A sort of timeless tradition. One that (for me) started when I was only 10 or so. And goes on

Customs Browser is like a full health pack given to a nearly dead Halo5....

>>169988251
Even Even the blocky little vehicles and things people make are very similar to the block vehicles CS would have. The welded glitchy vehicles are almost exactly like Jeep modes with the glitchy ass things barely working but always bringing a laugh .


Maybe it's the charm. Like people making trucks out or blocks. You know it looks pretty shitty,but you also know it's a truck. And it does the job. Something that to me is better than just having some perfect looking thing. Sometimes the cheesy ass blocky things people make just add to the fun.

Thank you for your service. I'll add you.

>>169988479
of course not, if I wanted vet benefits or anything I'd have to stay there and go through a ton of hoops, still got my pay for the weeks I was there at least

>>169988932
Can you not sue?

>>169989109
That would probably be a Hassel in itself.
That being said, if I lost my vision I'd definitely sue.

>>169988857
don't thank me when I couldn't even enter the service lmao
>>169989109
it'd be a fucking pain, and expensive too
I'm just moving past it

>remaking halo3


>Not putting all time into Halo6 so it's actually fully good and not only good for 2.5 modes

>>169989337
>implying 343 would even participate in an anniversary game's development

>>169989321
Dude you were maimed, disabled and had your career plan ruined.
It may seem like a pain right now but I'd research online, call VA, talk to lawyer etc.

Look at MCC and Halo5. Unless you're an idiot you'd know both could have been better with more time. Halo 5 should have been top priority. They could have probably had at least 25+% more shit at launch

And if MCC was second but took longer it could have worked.

Remaking another halo game while halo 6 is being mad just seems like a bad idea. Even Halo Wars2 could do something. But 343 wasn't doing huge work.

Sorry. But I'd rather see MCC fixed and somehow promoted. I know it may not happen. But a customs browser or PC mode for MCC could bring life into it

But 90% of 343 should be working on 6. With 10% giving us some cool halo 5 shit.

>>169989620
343 shouldn't be touching halo at all desu

>>169989538
This.
Your life has been altered because of that. I would fight for compensation/justice

>>169988251
Are you me? I'm gonna need that Steam ID, sir.

>>169989538
>>169989860
yeah I'm not denying it could be cause for a lawsuit but I don't want to bring one up against the USCG, they're already the most fucked over of the service branches and nobody was directly liable for my injury
I've got enough going for me jobwise outside of the branch that I can find something else I'll enjoy

>>169989620
Agreed

>>169991309
The coast guard is vastly larger than you and there's no shame in getting what you deserve. Unless you've spoken to someone independent you have no idea if they're trying to hamstring you.
I'll stop replying because I don't want to rag on you but think it's kind of sick that a kid wouldn't look into getting compensation for getting his eye destroyed because he's worried about health of military branch.

>Too short
It's like 9-10 hours long
>Too easy
True
>Story simplifications
Not an issue this is a FPS
>No arbiter missions
This a problem why, his missions are what brought Halo 2's campaign down and made it one of the worst in the series.
>Complaints about enemy variety
Same as Halo 2's
>Too colorful
Halo 1-5 are all colorful, the only ones that are not are the two with film grain (ODST and Reach)
>The co-op lag
True
>Ripping off The Maw
Metroid does this all the time, it's just a throwback.

>>169991923
Seconding this

If there really is an H3 Anniversary in the works, chances are 343i has next to nothing to do with the actual development (beyond further ruining the art style) and everything is yet again outsourced to Saber Interactive, just like CEA and H2A
