>No games will be Scorpio exclusive.
We will see. They've been distancing themselves from the play anywhere thing for the last few months.
>>171663641
Some games will be essentially multiplat in little more than title.
For example the X1 version of Halo 6 will have no splitscreen and will likely be heavily butchered in other areas. It might be multiplayer only like the 6th gen versions of black ops 3.
>>171663802
>How to kill Halo again in three easy steps
>>171663867
No, they just need to make sure the Scorpio version of the game shines. Nobody is going to care about the X1 downgrade in late 2018.
>>171663867
It's literally impossible for the X1 version to be the same as the Scorpio version. Would you rather the X1 not get Halo 6 at all?

Yes.

Expect upgraded graphics, and maybe a 4K graphics gimmick. Nothing more, nothing less. The last thing Microsoft wants to do is fracture the Xbox One player base.
>>171660975
He's right you know.
So, what the fuck *did* happen with Halo 5's plot? MS interference, hardware constraints, shit writers? Would be sweet if 343 posted an explanation like Bungie did with Halo 2.
>>171664482

Don't expect any whistle-blowers for quite some time.

>So, what the fuck *did* happen with Halo 5's plot?
From what I remember reading, Microshit didn't want Halsey to be the villian in Halo 5 and wanted Cortana instead and told that to 343i really late in development.

I wouldn't expect it. Bungie was a company before Microsoft got their claws on em. Unverified leakers is the best you'd get.

It's not, and anyone ghats argues it is should just admit to being a fanboy of the new style, but in their defense a lot of the things that nostalgiafags throw around at this complaint are stretching the truth quite a bit.

>>171680543

But it was not on every weapon. Only like four.
>That's... always how zoom has worked
But zoom was not on all weapons.
>It's not
Prove that it's not. It's exactly the same as ADS from CoD, Battlefield, etc.
>>171680837
>Prove that it's not. It's exactly the same as ADS from CoD, Battlefield, etc.
Mechanically soeaking, yes it (mostly) is, but technically not every weapon has iron sights. Most technically don't.
Again, smart scope is dumb, but the problem with calling it iron sights is it gives the very people defending it ammo to use against you
6 spots left.
>>171680982
>(mostly)
Entirely.
>Most technically don't.
They all do. Name a single weapon in 5 that does not decrease spread, decrease FOV, and increase range when activating it.
>but the problem with calling it iron sights is it gives the very people defending it ammo to use against you
It would if those retards had a point. Shame they don't.
>>171681157
The AR technically doesn't have iron sights. That's all I'm saying.
Mechanically it acts like iron sights, but it doesn't clog up the screen with gun.
>>171681245
>The AR technically doesn't have iron sights.
The AR has a goddamn laser that points at the spartan's visor to project a sight like a goddamn powerpoint. All of the human weapons without a physical scope do that. Magnum, shotgun, etc.
You could have picked ANYTHING and you pick the one that DOES.
How much does zooming in on the AR help.
Like, if 2 people start firing at each other at the same time at the same distance, will the zoomed in one win every time?
>>171681546
The one that was zoomed will get knocked out of it, but they would have landed like 5 shots first.
In the beta it was super fucking broken. The SMG was considered a power weapon because of it.
>tfw you started this debate by posting pasta from another thread
The best multiplayer since 2 meme needs to die, its already a laughing stock on /v/
>>171680837
>Prove that it's not. It's exactly the same as ADS from CoD, Battlefield, etc.
It doesn't slow your movement or aiming speed for one, and the bullet spread isn't as drastically reduced as it is in those games.
I will agree that it has parts of ADS, but it's like a hybrid of ADS and Halo zoom. And not all guns have it, many have classic zoom like the sniper, beam rifle/h2 beam rifle, CE pistol, h2 br, regular BR with classic scope, DMR, tactical pistol, SPNKR, and probably a few others I'm forgetting.
>>171681884
>It doesn't slow your movement or aiming speed for one, and the bullet spread isn't as drastically reduced as it is in those games.
But it does and it is.
>And not all guns have it, many have classic zoom like the sniper
It operates in the exact same way. It was just the BR/sniper scope ability applied to every weapon. But now every weapon has it for no reason other than because other shooters have it.
>>171682062
It does not reduce movement speed
>>171682294
Many of them in the other games do not, either. Please present an argument.
>>171682062
>But it does and it is.
I was with you until right here. If you think the difference between hipfire and ADS in Halo 5 is even close to how it is in other modern FPS titles, then I know you're talking out of your ass and this is all bait.
>>171682416
>I was with you until right here.
No you weren't. Otherwise you would have been posting with me. You just want to fake sides to act like a bigger man.
>>171682371
It does on every single gun in CoD and battlefield as far as I'm aware.
And no, it doesn't reduce movement speed, and also you get knocked out of it when you get hit, like zoom.
The part you should be talking about is how it reduces spread on some weapons, which is the part that actually makes it like ADS
>>171682371
https://twitter.com/JoshingtonState/status/531541844178792448
There's no movement penalty with Smart Scope in Halo 5
>>171683115
I never said there was. Please reread the statement.
>>171683091
>It does on every single gun in CoD and battlefield as far as I'm aware.
No, it decreases the FOV which gives the illusion that you're slower. Especially the case in the most recent CoD games.
PLEASE MY FRIENDS NO ARGUMENTS
PLEASE MY FRIENDS NO WEAPONS
>>171683228
I wouldn't know about the New CoD games, but in every single one i've personally played aiming down sights slowed you down like a snail
>>171682793
>bigger man
>in an argument with strangers on the internet about videogames on 4chan of all places.
Being the bigger man in this scenario is a achievement roughly on par with and as worthy of praise as not managing to strangle yourself with your umbilical cord in utero.
>>171683720
Well considering the argument is about "Halo 5 is even close to how it is in other modern FPS titles" then you have outdated info and can't form a valid argument.
>>171683878
Eh, even if the movement thing is true, I still disagree with you for the most part.
The only gameplay way that it is truly similar to ADS is reducing spread on some guns. Which zoom did in past games anyways.
Beyond that, you could argue that the animation itself of aiming down the sights of a gun counts, but that's only on some weapons and is pretty superficial. or that you need to do LT to aim, but that can be remapped.
>>171681090
I just realized that there was a typo earlier. It's actually Neirn.
>Mfw I realize this
>>171684270
>Eh, even if the movement thing is true, I still disagree with you for the most part.
That's good for you, but I've shot down every point against my argument. You can like ADS in 5, but it's still ADS straight out of the competition and it applies to every weapon.
>>171684660
But it doesn't apply to every weapon.
Mechanically it only reduces spread on a handful, most notably the automatics, and visually there are more classic zoom guns then there are "ADS" guns
>>171684961
>But it doesn't apply to every weapon.
Provide ONE case where it doesn't.
>>171677563
Cyclopses.
As many cyclopses as possible.
Unless there are engineers. Then cyclopses and Wolvernies/Vultures
>>171685137
OK? Sniper rifle. H2 BR. Tactical Magnum. Many others.
>>171685945
It happens on those. You saying it doesn't tighten the H2BR spread?
>>171686140
You mean just like it did in the original halo 2?
>>171686792
In Halo 2 it was a weapon-exclusive feature and didn't apply to every weapon like it does in CoD. But please, keep arguing in circles.
>>171686853
OK, so it's only ADS when more than one gun has it?
Single shot weapons only get slightly increased magnetism when zoomed, and precisions like sniper, beam rifle, etc don't get anything at all
>>171687156
>OK, so it's only ADS when more than one gun has it?
When every gun has it, and they all have it now, unlike every other game in the franchise.
>and precisions like sniper, beam rifle, etc don't get anything at all
Except for an increase in red reticle range and lees spread. The reticle might be small, but there is bullet deviation.
you know, I realised i don't really care what the future for halo is. enhanced mobility, no sprint, high magnetism, warzone, microtransactions yada yada, i don't really give a fuck. i'm on the halo train for life bois and i'll be playing till i'm dead.
>>171688773

>>171691105

>>171691382
But there was no reason for them to fall back onto the guardian after jumping off of it initially, they would just fall.

I'm begging you, does anyone know why I only play Mexicans late at night? I'm not saying it to shit on another race, I'm asking out of sheer curiosity. The later I play, the more Mexicans. Is it just California, or what?

Isn't this the only map in Halo 2 to ever be entirely removed from matchmaking?
>>171775430
>Isn't this the only map in Halo 2 to ever be entirely removed from matchmaking?
Yes but that was for technical reasons.
Keep in mind the 360 launched a year after Halo 2 released, so it was still popular even when the new console launched. In fact, it was the most played game on 360 until Gears of War launched. Anyway, the problem was that something about the way the 360 ran Halo 2 did things to the engine that resulted in the fog on backwash not rendering, like, at all, which kind of ruins the map, so it was pulled for that reason.
I'm sure someone that understands the tech aspects can explain it better than me, but it wasn't pulled because "OMG backwash is fucking trash lol"
Is fire lady good?

Inferno is pretty OP being able to almost destroy all buildings on a HQ and do over 50% to the main building on its own.

This video confirms to me what I always suspected about Raycevik: that he's a depressed self-centered loser that is only concerned with having his views cemented as fact. His goal is to simply crush other people's opinions. He doesn't really care as much about the substance of what he's arguing as long Ass at the end of it all his opinion is considered the "correct" one, and that his views are solidified as fact.
He would fit right in here.

Halo Wars 2 is super new and is the only game with an impressive population size.
5's is very small for a Halo game this long after launch, but you can (generally) still jump into games no problem at prime time hours.
MCC and Reach have small but dedicated populations that may leave you waiting just a bit, but not for too long.
Everything else varies between borderline dead (Halo 3, Halo Wars DE) and actually dead (Halo 4, Halo Wars 1)
Have any halo youtubers been confirmed to lurk /hg/?
Am I the only one who finds her completely lack-luster? Sure flame-hogs are cool but her hellbringers don't do anything new and other units don't have any new fire abilities so what was the point?

With the assets and engine work for TPP already done, they can spend more time creating a good world map rather than starting from scratch.

>tfw I actually liked AC3
I guess I know what it feels like to like Halo 4. It had a comfy setting, loved the snow, loved the ship sections, loved the weapons, character animations and characters. Haythan was based. Connors personality was flat though.
What was peoples problem with the game? I mean it was at least more relevant than revelations even though I enjoyed that too
>>171849253
Setting didn't allow for much innovation besides the tree climbing and all the missions were just historic events with Connor slapped onto it, also Haytham was the only cool character and he just disappears for most of the game after the tutorial part

This, it's best to think of this like the Switch and Wii U and 3DS. Nintendo outright killed the Wii U and they will be doing the same to the 3DS sometime next year to also replace it with the Switch. Another shining example of Halo 6 being gimped on Xbone is the fact that the Xbone will have less UWP apps and won't have the new Project Neon UI because it's far too weak, Scorpio on the other hands has Project Neon like Windows 10 PC and will have more UWP apps.

I already have this, and you still show up and be wrong.
realistically, we wont get Achilles during this game's lifetime, so why get mad over inactivity?
>>171886290
343 did almost everything aside form the gameplay
>>171893283
Then they did a good job for once
>>171884786
Yeah, Basically.
They've been making it more and more obvious that the whole play anywhere thing is going to go the way of kinect in time.
>>171892326
We just need to seriously start removing inactives.
Seriously, there's no excuse to keep them.
343 didn't do half as much work as people seem to think they. CA did the vast majority of work, not just the gameplay. 343 were pretty much just their higher ups who they communicated with instead of just usual microsoft suits. Seems like 343 are advertising the game as if it were the other way around, probably because they knew the game was going to be received better than their games and trying to piggyback some cred.
There is no secret to making a good Halo product. It's fucking obvious at this point, people want classic Halo (pre-343). Everything from the gameplay down to the art style and sound effects. The content we got for Halo 5 was well received, the art style for HW2 was well received, the community and popular Halo channels all seem to be unified in this. It's time 343 throw in the towel and give the fans back what they want instead of trying to reinvent the wheel with absolutely everything.
Halo 6 launching with a simplistic story that focusses on Chief and his team, focussing more on a classic art style, adding in black undersuits, making sure content is prepared for release and broaden their focus to more than just the competitive crowd.
If they actually listen to the TON of feedback they've got since 5 launched Halo 6 SHOULD be a fantastic game.Can we please get a new suit of armor for Chief please, I've never liked his newer suit its too bulky
>>171894624
>There is no secret to making a good Halo product. It's fucking obvious at this point, people want classic Halo (pre-343).
Pre-Reach you mean
>>171893742
Keep in mind the team was almost entirely comprised of seperate people from those who worked on 4/5
>>171894624
You're 100% correct, but your manner of speech is, for lack of a better word, divisive.
The fact is there's people that like the new style of play too. They're in the minority, sure, but they're here to stay.
We can't keep treating them like they're be a indeed idiots just because they don't agree with us on everything. We can learn to compromise.
>>171895209
HE WILL

>>171895069
Reach still kept the vast majority of weapon designs and sound effects, I'd still class it as part of classic Halo.
>>171895209
I was mainly referencing to the art style and sound of classic Halo but yes I am aware that people like the modern take on the Halo formula.
I don't believe we can ever go back. People will instinctively want to sprint, clamber or thrust. After Halo 5 it will most likely be ingrained in most players and I can't see newer players getting on with the old formula very well as it will feel very regressive to them.
Sprint is never going away. I'd bet money on that

We could easily go back.
This video does a good job articulating why the current playstyle is a dead end street.

>>171895619
I don't plan on replying to any non-constructive posts but I also meant to include vehicle designs in that too. I honestly just wanted to get my views and opinions off of my chest
I'm actually excited to see if they follow through with their claims and listen to the community for Halo 6 but also pretty damn worried. I don't exactly trust 343 to stick to their word and to not mess with stuff that doesn't need to be messed with. I feel like 6 is really their last chance.
Stop trying to discuss Halo.
We suck at that.
Post memes.
>>171896009
I think for a lot of people H5 was their last chance.
Fans of the old series are getting older and don't have time to commit.
Fans of the newer games are too little in number to cater to.

There are people in the company that haven't been to a thread or played a Halo game since Halo 4 and just pre-emptively joined and never got an Xbone.
Some fell for the Destiny meme and bought a PS4 for that game and occasionally lurk here to stir up trouble because they're still salty about it.I'm one of those people.

You don't have to be on halo.gg to redeem them. You can go to the REQ area of waypoint since they're the same website, but being on .gg lets you see the code if someone in the thread or discord hasn't posted it.
>>171894358
Yup, something is on the chopping block and it sure isn't Windows 10. Everything seems to be going the Windows 10 route, so I doubt they will continue to show Xbox One | Windows 10 in their advertisements in the future.

Why do so many nostalgia shitlords hate on Halo 4 so hard? It had a fantastic campaign and by far the best story in Halo. It finally explored Master Chief as a character and gave him humanity. Cortana was also emotionally fleshed out and I really enjoyed the relationship between Cortana and Master Chief. In all honesty, I felt it was the best.
I think Halo nostalgia fans only hate it because they added sprint into the game and are afraid of change.

>>171937140
Halo 4's campaign was meh, I liked some of the levels, what it did to Chief, and what it did with Chief and Cortana's relationship but the rest was shit.
>>171937140
I didn't hate the story, it had some good portions but god damn that Didact was garbage.
I mean, I expected Ur-Didact to be a right cunt, but not to the point of cartoon villain.

Why didn't Cutter ask if humanity won the the war against the covenant?

Why is classic Pilot the only helmet without the hexagon mesh on their visor? You'd think all the other helms would have the reflective visor as well.
Why hasn't Halo had any underwater levels?
>>171940625
Their UI will still be ass tho and so will the maps. All the social playlists will likely be replaced by some "warzone" equivalent where you have to bust out reqs every game. I also wouldn't expect them to ship a full game this time either since they can just say "it was tough to bring everything to Scorpio and Xbox at the same time and we'll be drip feeding you content again" and PC if they're doing that but I doubt it. No one play Halo 5: Forge
>>171941105
They probably ran out of time. They didn't work on the helmets at all between the update releasing and the helmet req pack showing up a few months later

Why does reading someone else's opinions make me so upset?
>>171941105
Nightfall has it, but nobody weards nightfall.
There's really no reason that the helmets shouldn't all have a sleek texture as their default, and then some visor skins would have hexagons to overlay on it and some don't. Hell, for the sake of benefiting 343, that would double the REQ pool of visors.

They wouldn't get away with it a 2nd time.
Maps sure, but game modes and forge would have to be there out of the box.
Social playlists are a staple for halo, and the lack of it at launch caused a lot of people to quit playing early because it was always competitive.

I'm with you famalam. The community that's left here is bad and rarely ever plays the game. When they do, no one bothers posting in the thread or asking if anyone wants to party up.

How could Anders know how to disarm the Halo ring if she just heard about it two hours earlier and Cortana who spent 12 hours connected to the ring's control room could only manage it by having Chief break all the firing mechanisms?
Why did Atriox not recognize the threat the Spirit posed and just blasted it out of the sky and sift through the wreckage later
Why did nobody think to move the Enduring Conviction out of the way of the particle cannon's fixed firing arc?
Why did Atriox leave Isabel alive in the first place?

I don't have any recent examples since I basically stopped watching all Roosterteeth shit after Ray left, but he bitches and moans about all the stuff he bought and will buy. He brags about being a richfag while still trying to be relate able to the audience even though its clear as day that he's no longer relate able. The podcasts he's on are unbearable.
He did a video recently that's basically him showing off his Tesla and about him customizing it like a car show. Talking about how he used his drones to film him while he drove.

As someone who doesn't even play with anyone from the general, his attention whoring in the thread was fucking annoying
>>171964319
What general doesn't have annoying attention whoring?
>>171964319
He wasn't a shitposter. He fell out with people in the discord, he never shitposted in the threads.
>>171965436
>he never shitposted in the threads
Yes he did.

The big thing is Monty getting a spotlight after season 8. It fucked over their main series and turned it into stupid anime shit, then spawned RWBY.
>>171960156
not only that but burnie is a fucktard that thinks everything nasa posts is just fake articles to get more funding
>>171958495
RvB took itself seriously.
>>171965542
The only shitposting involving Rabbit that spilled into the threads was after the drama had already happened. Rabbit was always active and always posting saying he was hosting. The general is full of A) People that weren't long enough from the beginning to have an actual clear image of him and B) The people he fell out with that still make up the general.
Not defending some of the stuff he posted during the drama either. It went overboard but he was pretty nice and fun to play with before then.
>>171965561
Not shitposting. It's only the company Bio, it can be changed at any time. It's been changed countless time for a joke. The thing which caused the drama and controversy was when he changed the company name to Yiff General and we couldn't change it back.

Pretty cool
>>171965906
The way I see it is that he just showed his true colors when he was acting like a massive faggot while falseflagging in the threads.
>>171966074
I don't recall any falseflagging. He only went overboard because people kept spamming pictures of him, which was his own fault for posting it in the first place really.
The reason the rest of the drama occurred was incredibly juvenile, shitposting about girlfriends and such. The arguments escalated so quickly and needlessly and it was pretty disgusting posting pictures of peoples family members. This is called being impartial bro. Regardless of what happened I'd have Rabbit back no problem. People need to grow up and learn to move past petty grudges, would be nice to have some of the old group back to play every now and then

W-was the "person" a shipboard AI the whole time?

No, but how do you even keep a Spartan alive that long

It was skirmish so the AI wasn't prioritizing it

Didact reveal was shit
WHATS WRONG WITH HIS FAAAACE
Why does he speak english? Did he learn it solely so he could give a speech to chief before "" killing "" him???
>>171969687
A silent masked didact would have been sooooo much better
We would have learned his motivations and plans by what he physically did, instead of confusing most players by telling it to us in a 5 minute speech
It also would have saved me from literally bursting out laughing when they showed his regarded fucked up face. I refuse to accept that's how forerunners look. It's like what a 10 year old would come up with if you tell them to draw a bad monster.
>>171969687
The chief actually spoke forerunner all along because of that latent katra that the librarian mind melded into him. Didju rike it?
>>171970705
>A silent masked didact
Or just keep the mask and make the voice slightly robotic so you can't tell if its an AI or not.
An insane Offensive Bias would have made a great villain
>tfw no one is posting the codes
>>171958495
They were always shit anon
>>171970835
OK, but he shouldn't know English immediately. Maybe have him say singular words, then simple sentences and complex stuff by the end of the game.
I think him saying mostly nothing would have been great though, and bring up parallels between how chief is becoming less silent and finding his humanity.
>>171969687
Why did the covenant speak english in Halo 2?
>>171971718
Translator in your helmet when playing as Chief
>>171971330
>implying there are codes
Shit tourney shit game shit series shit life
>>171971626
I thought it was implied that the didact was intercepting transmissions and learned english from that. I don't know, barely played halo 4.
>>171971802
Chief was present in arby's trial?
>>171971718
The Canon explanation is translators in chief's suit and also because some of them learned words to use as insults
However that explanation hardly works considering how the covenant language isn't translated in 4, and also his suit DEFINITELY would not be able to translate a language nobody has ever heard from 100,000 years ago.
>>171971959
Arby was.
>>171971959
No, but that was translated for the player's benefit. They were actually speaking their native language.
This excuse doesn't work for the didact, as he directly speaks to chief,and chief understands it.
Maybe the didact just used psychic forerunner magic to beam right into chief's brain or something. But if he was actually speaking English, that's retarded, he has ZERO reason to learn or speak it.
>>171972160
This, arby understands Sanghelie or whatever, and he's a player character so we understood it too
>>171972237
There is the possibility that English is the ur language for humanity, and it's what always eventually develops.
The translated excuse has always been just that, an excuse. The games were not designed with that excuse in mind.
It's "nanobots" and "subspecies" All over again.
>>171972825
