This has to be bait. It's been 8 years since a WWII Cod, 10 years since we got to play as allies in the non-Pacific theater, and 11 hears since we got to play as Americans in the non-Pacific theater. Most of the people in /hg/ were like 10 when COD 2 came out. It's been plenty long enough.

It's far more likely that they will make him Johnson's son.

He will get fucked up during Halo 6, and when they do the happy ending at the end of the game, one of the cutscenes will be Locke training a group of marines/Spartan V's and when wearing Johnson's iconic hat.

I can confirm this is false. I wasn't accepted at first and had to play a while to get in.

i wrote for six hours on how halo is trying to revamp their story. like i went into how they had the forerunners had an underwhelming role could be a jab at the constraining narrative they were stuck with. when microsoft pushed halo hard to sell xboxs that sold him. the forerunners are the mythical race the series is built on was brought on for one game used just to hype and dropped on the first game in a trilogy and dropped like there we just two waiting around guess there cant be one waiting at the domain, using the domain as a hibernation aid letting the precursor creation nudge them towards an irritated emotion remembering that theyre protecting fucking nothing knowing that the halos went off protecting the mantle when they didnt need to kill themselfs to uphold an ideology stuck their alone to give the domain to who? why save it? all the fucking knowledge it gets itll loose because a saying
retards cant forget just didnt reach the philosophers of these two races that made ais that live forever and can control time around people just save a fucking book but we cant build a plot out of giving a fuck so had to die when cortana had all that fucking time to go over the data of arc and halos its not unreasonable to think if 343 wanted her to control the ecumene they had options that arnt a reveal that could of been used to dance money at a 30 yo embarrassed for the both of us hopeing you run into a thought or i run out of money so one of us can stop as a love story is stretched out to a few more games to make a point. theyre about to finish off and start at a new time in universe like mass effect. sonic makes money so its reasonable to think halo does to

Remember that scene in halo 4 where you meet the librarian who is supposed to be dead, but she's not really dead, but also she is because she's just a hologram or something, and then she tells chief that he is the chosen one with magic space genes and then plays a 5 minute cartoon cutscene that dumps an entire game's worth of exposition and lore on us just to try and explain the story even though you still won't understand it properly without all the terminals, and even then some things are still available completely unexplained without reading an entire trilogy of expanded universe lore novels

Halo 4 was pretty shit

>>175141832
But chief is now immune to the composers effects! Dont you see how useful that is in his current situation!
>>
>>175141832
>and then she tells chief that he is the chosen one
To be fair, she didn't mean him specifically. Though I agree with the rest.
>>
>>175143925
If she doesn't mean him specifically, then her intention is not properly conveyed in the game, because it sounds like she's talking about him specifically.

multiplayer and forge is gonna be even more GOAT, warzone/firefight will be more fleshed out, F R E E DLC funded via cosmetic microtransactions, and they admit they fucked up the campaign and are really paying attention to fan feedback from the story to the music to the armor designs

halo 6 is gonna be great.
>>
>>175147035
Are they actually going to make the spartan AI like Republic Commando AI and tactics? Because honestly that is all I think they need.

No because it's 343 and they'll fuck it up somehow.

Watching this vid makes me compare the 2D Metroid games.
>Metroid was non-linear and allowed for more freedom for the players
>Metroid II was more linear and streamlined but still had big enough areas to explore
>Super Metroid was more opened then Metroid II but was still linear
>Fusion was more of a character driven story that still had some of the Metroid elements but was a whole new ball game

If Metroid 5 is made it will be similar to Halo 5 in how it pushes forward in the direction of Fusion but looks back at the last game for guidance. Metroid 6 will be like Metroid 5 but with some improvements going by Metroid 5's criticism similar to the Halo 6 situation.

As far as story goes? Not really. They always seem to take away the wrong lessons, like when going from 4 to 5, and now what they're saying they're gonna do for 6. It's really frustrating.

But I'm not going to say it's going to be the best halo ever because when 343 comes out with good news, there is always bad news waiting.

>>175149045

Simple doesn't exactly mean good, especially when they compared it to HW2's shallow story. And they talked about making John into an empty shell again, which sucks.

Are you implying TFA was good?

>>175149142
They also used the terminology "realistic and compelling" stating that the game would have a more human story. 343 even stated that they are keeping Halo 5's coop. You guys have to read between the lines, fans "want" to play the Chief, fans "love" Blue Team, fans "like" Osiris (subjective). A line from Frankie himself "But people have become attached to him over the last fifteen years and they’ve started to sort of fill in the gaps that the character deliberately has for gameplay reasons with a genuine emotional attachment." This implies that 343 knows fans put there own personality into Chief so chances are they will handle the Chief like they did in Halo 4. Remember Bonnie said she "loves" Halo 4's story.

>http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-04-26-halo-5s-lack-of-master-chief-was-a-huge-disappointment-343-admits

That's what you fucking take away from this? Not the shite story, not the fake marketing, not the abhorrent art style, not the awful charters and tone?

We need more chief?!?! They could kill of chief in 6 and I wouldn't care. No one hated the lack of chief in Reach or ODST.

The chief is not what makes Halo, Halo.

It went back to its roots. At little too literally.

>>
>>175149142
Continuing from what I said here>>175149494 in an interview in the past for Halo 4, Josh Holmes said that Chief is still a vessel but they were hitting a middle ground. This pretty much proves that 343 will character Chief more like they did in Halo 4.

Yes he is, ODST and Reach lost that sense of adventure and wonder exploring the universe and saving it from aliens, space parasites, and robots. Also Locke and Osiris were the cause of Halo 5 problems. If you remove them then you remove Jul Mdama's senseless death. all that filler shit on Sanghelios, and the non-combat missions. The Covenant's story could have been combined with the created storyline with the Swords of Sanghelios aiding Chief in fighting both factions but instead we got Locke and Osris retarded hunt.

Absolute bullshit.
ODST had some of the best atmosphere in the series along with a steller soundtrack and open world. Reach had more saving the world from aliens then a lot of the series. If you honesty tie Halo just to the chief than you started Halo way after its release.

>If you honesty tie Halo just to the chief than you started Halo way after its release
What the fuck am I reading? Halo 1 was my first Halo game and Master Chief like Samus Aran in Metroid NES was an empty vessel that I placed my personality into. I think you're the one that started Halo late my friend. Halo was about the mystery, sense of adventures, fun combat sandbox gameplay, and the world around you as a player. The Ant Man vid does a good job explaining all of this.

>they kill them like flies.
I don't know what you were expecting. You knew from the beginning everyone was going to die.

>Doesn't make up for the rest of the game.
Yea sure it doesn't deserve a $60 price tag for what is pretty much an expansion, but that doesn't make it any less of a high quality Halo game that didn't need the Chief to be good.

>Master Chief like Samus Aran in Metroid NES was an empty vessel that I placed my personality into.

Difference is Samus has character, I suppose you could say. I haven't played Metroid be she seems to stand out and be unique compared to other factions / characters around her.

I can't entirely say the same for the chief. He's one spartan amongst many and part of military organization of many perspectives. If he dies it won't be the end of the UNSC. We've seen it through different eyes already with Halo Wars as a commanders point nof view and ODST as a more regular soldier. I can't see an RTS of mrtroid working out. Halo is the universe it has built for itself. The many angles of a whole. Limiting it purely to the Chief makes for boring reuse of an overdone character.

some of what you said was five. shes reserved and was occupied with thoughts of a vulnerability forming with thoughts wasted on what she should have done finding herself unable to focus on what she needs to do. when the chief asked her about it she was able to focus on the mixture of fear and self loathing started her towards what we see in the rest of the story with remembering how she viewed human nature to how she act as a frailty of the human intellect causing shame,then anger and resentment at the situations shes unable to handle and any memory brought up was given life with any emotion she felt rightful. a jealousy or melancholy was showed towards the end at basically being human unable to fuck. she was different from three but was stagnant in behavior before that. in five cortana has control of herself and making decisions by her feelings. also her rampancy was cured but shes organic in her thinking now

(Continued)
Take me back to the Human-Covenant war on other colonies, show me the space ba5tles with Cole vs the covie fleet. Take me on new adventures searching for more forunner artifacts. The chief doesn't need to be a part of all those adventures and I don't think he can.

Halo could do well to step more out of its FPS shoes, though I understand the risks for changing up a game are big. I would love to see a proper open world Halo. Some more perspective from the covenant again. A more gritty Halo like Landfall.

If Halo wants to be the Star Wars like Franchise they're aiming for they need to open up. A Halo mega blocks game was planned and that looked cool but they scrapped it. We can't keep doing the chief FPS game forever.
>>
>>175152121
>I don't know what you were expecting. You knew from the beginning everyone was going to die.
Don't try to force me to love characters if you're just going to kill them off

>Difference is Samus has character, I suppose you could say. I haven't played Metroid be she seems to stand out and be unique compared to other factions / characters around her.
Samus has the same damn personality as the Chief, I should know, I'm also a Metroid fan. In the first three games like the Chief, Samus really didn't have much of a personality and was at most, an empty vessel. Starting with Fusion is when they truly started to develop her as a character.

I don't know where you keep getting this character driven story nonsense, Halo games were never the books therefore they shouldn't be treated like them. Fans like you miss the point and reason why everyone loves the Chief. It's the exact same reason why everyone loves Samus because Chief was an badass empty vessel that had the freedom to do what ever the hell he wanted instead of having to follow the rule, "Leave that lone wolf stuff behind", as years went by, people got attached to Chief and now see him as the face of Halo. People want to see his character more but as the same time they want that power fantasy of being a bad as that saves the galaxy. This is what Arbiter, The Rookie, Noble Six, and Locke all fail at. None of them give players the sense of freedom that Chief gives. The flashbacks in ODST killed the Rookie's chances of having the same freedom Chief had because you were forced to play his annoying team members and go through their drama, because Bungie wanted to force you to like them.

The chief doesn't bring any more to the table than those characters. At the end of the day its just you and the gun in front of the screen. The thing is anyone can be an empty vessel.
>>
>>175149148
Lord Zedd, aka the original halo hacker guy before gamecheat, is breddy gud.
>>
>>175153579
And the Rookie and Noble Six fail at that, Halo is about the players freedom and the world around them not some character driven story, you want that go read a book.

>>175153481
Yes, the ones that are not lore centric since they don't give a shit about all this character driven shit, just that power fantasy of being a badass and having that sense of adventure exploring the galaxy and fighting aliens, plus these fans (this includes myself) are too attached to the Master Chief now and they make up the majority of the fanbase. If no ones knows the reason for why Arbiter, Rookie, Noble Six, and Locke were all disliked all you need to do and look at what they did. Nothing to do with not playing Master Chief, the problem is they did less then the Master Chief and people want that power fantasy and sense of adventure that these characters are clearly missing. then you have their other problems, forcing players to like Arbiter in Halo 2, forcing players to like Alpha Nine in ODST, forcing players to like Noble Team in Reach, and forcing players to not only like Locke but Osiris as well. Stop forcing players to like characters, you have to build these characters the same way Johnson and Rtas Vadam were built.

>>175153913

>>175153913
the problem is this is a civil war with dozens of factions. the crewmen are relearning self reliance as individual species since theyre not able to rely on the covenant. one side seems to be winning since they allied with the unsc that give aid to keep oni's finger on the pulse. this gives plenty of branches to grow the franchise except for a game to carry a plot. halo started with you crash landing on a super weapon. all you need to know is in the game with the main focus is being fucking rad. the plot now is a romance sprinkled with espionage set in a space opera. the only thing that is similar to the original are the protagonist. their is no more room for character growth they need to finish this arc then start new
>>

I 100% agree, D44m this shit up.
>>
>>175154646
Rookie and Noble were as much a character as the chief
>>
>>175155427
And once again, ODST and Reach were still character driven stories because Bungie kept trying to force people to like Rookie squad Alpha Nine and Noble Six's squad Noble Team, compared to how Halo 1 ad 3 were about the world around Chief and not specific characters we had to care about.

While Halo 2 did have that with the Chief, you then had Arbiter who Bungie were trying to force players to like Arbiter, that didn't work and players only started liking him in Halo 3 when his role was more like Johnson's and Rtas Vadam in Halo 2.

Drop Chief and Halo dies, Halo 5 is the worst selling Halo game because you barely play Chief, split screen removal, and bare bones content, all three will be corrected in Halo 6 and chances are Halo 6 could sell Halo 4/Reach numbers again, don't give those other excuses to explain Halo 5's sells. When people play a FPS Halo, they expect to play the Chief for the entirety of the game, since he is the series face and the face of the Xbox.

Overall all the campaigns in TMCC are objectively superior versions. Higher resolution, higher framerate, reduced loading times, updated lighting, campaign scoring and hell, even online co-op when it works are features that can't be ignored just to give more weight to your argument.

Halo 4 never had rippling water. I specifically remember watching a video after it launched, showing Valhalla from 3 with it's water physics and how things interacted with it, and then Ragnarok from 4 where it's just flat and steady

Also you should buy MCC for Halo 2 anniversary campaign at this point. It's only like 10$ for a download code, and it has none of the issues the other ports do because it's a full remake.

Plus, it's halo 2 with fully remastered visuals, cutscenes, music, effects, etc... Why wouldn't you want to play that? It's not like CE:A which was a shoddy job with reused Reach assets and completely different tone and art style.

>>175189074
Believe me, it's true. I was triggered about it, because they had to sacrifice so much stuff for halo 4's overblown ugly dymamic lighting system. All the textures are poo, the filtering is bad, and the LOD is also very poor.

I play Halo 4's campaign along with Halo 1-3 almost all the time. I just played that mission and the first thing I did was shoot the water on the 360 version, the water ripples in the 360 version, it even has downgraded lighting compared to the 360 edition.

Okay on the lighting part but there's still the issues with the weapons spreads being off from the 360 version and the sound effects issues along with customization. Halo 2 MCC is the PC port of Halo 2.

Look man, this is the last i'm gonna post on the matter. You made your valid points and i never said the TMCC Campaign are 100% bugless, my point has always been that all the features and improvements added with TMCC have more weight than the missing stuff from the classic versions (which are 90% minor visual details), making them overall a superior version and experience.

Before you call me underaged I'm 26. I have never played Halo games before MCC and Halo 5 reveal. I played all MCC back to back and new ones aren't really better or worse, they're pretty much the same thing different story/setting. In fact they're somewhat more pleasing to play because they don't have shitty, copy pasted, corridors that go on forever like older ones.

To continue my thought with fresh look at Halo.

Halo 5 isn't trash as /v/ or some people on the internet claim. I think it's a good game too. But hate for 5 is somewhat more understandable. After beating 4 and going in to 5 it felt like I was playing different game that didn't follow established formula.

But then you have the use of vehicles for traveling in those vehicle sections in Halo. it would be just as bad as Master Chief running into a small tunnel that he can't get through because he can't roll into a ball. Also when it comes to the main series (2D games), I think the Chief would be fine against the Space Pirates, Metroid and X are a different story but for the X he does have energy shielding. Samus would be pretty fine against the Covenant but the Flood and Prometheans are the problem especially if we count Composers being used.

4 is fucked completely the only thing they did right was sell a game

5 has a solid multiplayer. 343 got stuck in a shit situation of creating an entirely new story arc with a finished narrative. they went all the fucking way back to halo 3s terminals to get fresh stock for the games. they had shit to work with but the way it was handled was poorly so fuck them try harder

I don't know what it is about 5, but it just doesn't "feel" like a Halo game to me. Maybe it's the movement, maybe it's the aiming, but I went back to play Halo 4 a while back, and when I wasn't sprinting or using AA's, it "felt" like Halo. I don't know how to describe it.

Nice meme
>>
>>175208054
>Warzone
>Functions well
It functioned better when the game launched and nobody had that many REQs. It's a clusterfuck and the REQ system is garbage.

The ranked portion of the game seems to be pleasing the minority that they designed the game for. The rest of the playerbase were forgotten about until 343 decided to tack stuff on after people had already left such as BTB, Infection etc. Even with the stuff they've added, the game still plays like ass. They can throw all the BTB maps out they like, it will still play like shit.

Be that as it may, there are technically official versions of the maps with weapons on map floating around, but you have to be lucky enough to get in a Game with them then save the file. I think Hectorlo has been doing this for a while... or maybe it's wizards, I'm not sure.
>loadouts/perks/ordinance are also on by default, and you needed to wait for an update to disable certain things like killcams.
Yeah. Kilcams don't really ruin the game for me but they irk me the same way the iron sights on the BR in 5 do. They're clearly there to pander.

Is Halo dead

>>175215172
How much do I have to grind or spend to get one full set of those armors. Also anyone I would like to know, I am thinking about purchasing MCC or Halo 5. I have been a long time fan but moved on to destiny after 4. Which one should I get?
>>
>>175235737
You can probably find MCC and 5 for dirt cheap at this point, so I'd honestly say to get both.
MCC for singleplayer campaign, since that actually works, and 5 for a decently fun multiplayer so long as you don't actually fall for the grinding meme
>>
>>175236119
Wait what's wrong with MCC multiplayer?
>>
>>175236180
I mean what is wrong with it now?
>>
>>175236180
Hit or miss on whether or not it works, which is a shame.
People still play it occasionally and it works (for the most part) so you'd be able to play with people, at least
>>
>>175235737
MCC digital codes can be bought for about 10$, halo 5 can be bought for 20$-ish.

Mark 4&5 are Legendary armor sets which means they will take a while to earn, mark 6 is too but it can be earned by playing MCC.

>>175236180
It's veryyyyy glitchy and full of bugs. Usually it's playable but they are frequent enough that it puts a damper on the whole experience.

>>175236579
5 nets around 14,000 players

MCC is less at about 8,000

(These numbers might not be entirely accurate. Neither game has a population counter, so we have to go off where they are located in the Xbox Top Played games list. In relation to games that DO have a pop counter, like battlefield or titanfall.)

What??

And I assume you mean 10,000 REQ points? The fastest way to get REQ points is warzone firefight or warzone assault.

But don't waste your points on gold REQ packs yet, buy bronzes until you unlock all common reqs, silvers until you unlock all uncommons and rare, then buy golds for ultra rares, and legendaries/mythics
>>
>>175236884
You should be buying bronze packs first until it stops regularly giving you armor, then most on to silver and keep repeating.
>>
>>175237154
desu I'd recommend just doing silvers
>>
>>175238449
>4 times the cost for what is essentially about half of the reward
You get 2500 per firefight match. There's no reason not to just pound through bronzes, instead of waiting two matches to save up for a silver that will give you two commons.

Chief was good as a main character for 1-3 but is not needed to make a halo game good. 343 should have done something new with their games, or at the very least done more prequels or game versions of the books.

But Master Chief sells Halo games like split screen, multiplayer, and forge. When Bungie took Chief away in Halo ODST and Reach, there was a significant player drop in sells. While Halo 4 sold so well because of the return of the Master Chief.

343: "Check out the latest issue of GamesTM magazine for Frank O’Connor and Kiki Wolfkill’s thoughts on the past, present, and future of the Halo franchise. Frank’s comments about lessons learned from Halo 5’s Campaign seem to have parts of the community in a bit of an uproar. First it’s important to note that there’s a lot of speculation and assumptions being made out there – the next major Halo game hasn’t even been announced let alone any details about what the story may entail. Rest assured that while the studio has received feedback that players wanted to see more of Master Chief in Halo 5, that’s far from the only learnings the team has taken to heart. We are absolutely aware of the sentiment around the disconnects between the game’s marketing vs. what transpired in-game as well as issues such as the lack of splitscreen functionality, to name a few examples, and are always striving to learn and improve going forward. We’ll have plenty more to say when the time is right."

What's more interesting is that they knew and made this poor decision anyway.

As we know, despite the sales, most players didn't stick with it.
>>
>>175298249
Yeah, that multiplayer, what were they thinking?
>>
>>175298334
They were thinking they wanted to be different from Halo, that they hired people that hated Halo, and that they wanted to be like Call of Duty.
So they lost money and reputation.

Depending on how long a leash they allow him to be on, he could inject some fun back into the series.

>>175392671
>>175392934
The challenge will be restructuring the multiplayer to cater to being addictive for the majority of players and not just the e-sports crowd without sacrificing too much of the excellent balance 5's arena has. Easier said than done, but allowing splitscreen and guest accounts to play is already a big step in the right direction so they are well on their way.
>>
>>175393264
That, and fixing warzone. Though I doubt the req packs are going anywhere.
>>
>>175393264
More maps not specifically designed for competitive or 4v4, splitscreen, and an actual ranked/social split at launch would go miles. No need to modify the base gameplay too much.
>>
>>175393390
We don't even know if Warzone is returning
>>
>>175393470
The weapon balance is fine.
But spartan abilities are still cancer.
>>
>>175393470
All I want them to do is remove sprint. They can keep literally everything else.
>>
>>175393470
They won't, but removing or lessening the Spartan abilities, specifically sprinting, would go a long way to making the base happy, what's left of them that is.
>>
>>175393661
I don't think they're entirely cancer, but sprint and spartan charge 100% are. Would be great if they could figure out how to keep slide without sprint..
>>
>>175393806
Even if they just sprint on a timer so you can't just infinitely do it, or have it so that getting shot takes you out of sprint, I'd be happy
>>
>>175393969

I'd agree to either of those.

>>175393969
I'd prefer it not be there at all. If they feel absolutely adamant about having it, just let players shoot while doing it and it'll be much less of an issue.
>>
>>175394113
>I'd prefer it not be there at all
Well obviously. But I really doubt they're going to axe it. Microsoft is terrified of releasing a COD competitor that doesn't have sprint, because as we've seen from the last 3 games, they clearly don't understand their own base.
I'll take whatever sprint concession or nerf ing we can get as a victory.

As we know, the different types of terrain on the ring are used for technical purposes. Cold areas=cooling, etc. The silent cartographer island might just have some modular purpose they use in different areas
>>
>>175407468
The whole point of the silent Cartographer is to hold a map of the entire ring. It's purposely not next to the control room for the same reason the library isnt.
>>
>>175409206
Not him, but why the fuck would there only be one map on the entire ring? You'd need a map to find it.
There are probably like four at equal distances, and it would make sense that one is next to the control room.

https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/big-team-bonanza

343: "Frank’s comments about lessons learned from Halo 5’s Campaign seem to have parts of the community in a bit of an uproar. First it’s important to note that there’s a lot of speculation and assumptions being made out there – the next major Halo game hasn’t even been announced let alone any details about what the story may entail. Rest assured that while the studio has received feedback that players wanted to see more of Master Chief in Halo 5, that’s far from the only learnings the team has taken to heart. We are absolutely aware of the sentiment around the disconnects between the game’s marketing vs. what transpired in-game as well as issues such as the lack of splitscreen functionality, to name a few examples, and are always striving to learn and improve going forward. We’ll have plenty more to say when the time is right."

So does anyone think they learned?

Want to beat all MCC halo on Legendary. Does using Bandanna skull disables achievements?
I googled the question and answers are extremely mixed, I feel like everyone is trolling. People say they beat games on legendary with skull on and got achievement some say they did the same and didn't, some say it disables all achievements, others say bandanna only disables par time and score.

Half the shit you see in Quake, even the basics of movement and countering recoil in Counter Strike, going fast in games like Tribes (which ties back to Quake), proper full 360 capable flicking, any sort of Ariel control and tracking like you see soldiers and demos do in TF2. Restricting aiming to a nub you control with a thumb is horrible.

They haven't finalized the other conference times yet, though Nintendo has opted out of E3 entirely this year. No tree house event even. Strange considering the switch just arrived.
>>
>>175483117
True, Halo 3's water was sex. Halo was also the only Halo that had foot prints in the snow and and sand, then they just started to downgrade it.
>>
>>175492869
Nintendo is trying to distance themselves from Sony and Microsoft as much as possible so they can use the excuse of saying they don't compete in the same market as them. It's a bold strategy that may or may not work out. We will know if it does or doesn't when quarter 3 and 4 start and all the big name multiplats as well as Scorpio is out. If switch sales rapidly decline, we will know Nintendo failed at their plan.

Microsoft is going all out this year. If there was ever a conference where MS needed to hit a home run, this was it. They are betting everything on Scorpio, so they need to convince people that it's worth the purchase with some big compelling info at e3.

Sony has been in the driverseat of having the more powerful console for a while now and that's about to end when the new Xbox releases later this year. Expect them to show off as many exclusive games as possible to try to distract people from the scorpio. There's also rumors of a possible PS5 early unveiling, set for a 2018 release. This would be a preemptive strike against Scorpio to keep it from being seen as the decisive futureproofed console. It's a somewhat unnecessary move given sony's current market dominance, but if they did do it, it would really show how aggressive they are when it comes to defending their market dominance.

The other confrlerences are also going to have to do more to impress than usual. Expect Bethesda to possibly release the next elder scrolls as well as give off gameplay of the new Wolfenstein among other games. EA and Ubisoft are probably still skippable, but they have both promised more than just their usual lineup.

Either way it's going to be one of the more interesting E3's we've had in a while. I look forward to attending at least one of the /hg/ parties.
>>
>>175494165
Scorpio need to sell for under $600 to have a chance
>>
>>175483117
Oh yeah forgot to mention here >>175493064
Halo 4's water also ripples in mp on Xbox 360, I checked it on Ragnarok.
>>
>>175494431
It's going to be something like $520 or $550.
They also need a popular 3rd party game to show off with what it can do on the stage.

COD, Destiny and Battlefront are both licensed to Sony for advertising purposes, so Microsoft needs to hope for something like Red Dead Redemption 2.

It CAN NOT be a niche exclusive game like Forza 7. That's not going to appeal to enough people. The most that will do for them is get people to say "yeah that looked really nice, but I don't play racing games".
>>
>>175492539
Should probably just use /v/'s cards, they should be finished soon
>>
>>175494853
>It CAN NOT be a niche exclusive game like Forza 7
Unfortunately, that's almost certainly what it's going to be.

It's a shame that when they got the battlefield partnership, they wernt able to also snag the battlefront partnership.
>>
>>175494853
The smartest thing Sony has done in the last 5 years is buy up as many advertising partnerships with 3rd party games as possible.
It costs less money than funding exclusives but does so much more for your console at the same time.
Almost every time almost any AAA game commercial comes on TV, it's ended with a PS4 logo and advertisement.

How Microsoft let them get away with this is beyond me.
>>
>>175495547
Whoever was in charge of advertising at Xbox was doing a historically terrible job for most of the Xbox One era. The fact that the call of Duty partnership deal came up for Redwall and Microsoft just let Sony outbid them for it when Microsoft clearly has more money to throw at advertising is just insanity.

It looks like they've been trying to somewhat turn it around. The made huge efforts to get the battlefield partnership from EA. They still have their Madden partnership as well, but they need more. I can't think of anything else notable they currently have.
>>
>>175494165
Microsoft is going to have to show off the Scorpio essentially printing money to beat Sony this year.

Sony will be showing off battlefront 2, cod WW2, Destiny 2, as well as a host of exclusive game content that got only teased at last E3 such as the last of us 2 and the new God of War.
>>
>>175494431
If it's not $400 then they already lost

>>175496330
And what guarantees that the Scorpio will sell so well? Ps4 pro didn't, because the average consumer didn't want to buy the "same" console again.

Is there anywhere on the net to buy a legitimate copy of Halo CE on PC?

>>175497192
The PS4 Pro was not heavily advertised.

If the Scorpio is to be successful, it needs to be shown off as a new unique experience.

If the Scorpio launches at more than $450 it will be dead in the water. People won't shift unless Microsoft make it too good to resist. Some of the parts are old and heavily modified in the Scorpio, a lot of time has passed since the launch of the Xbone. Manufacturing costs are down.

Microsoft can do this plus it would be amazing PR and a pretty strong mic drop moment at E3. $399 would be too good to be true. $450 is more likely. The processor isn't new tech and they're also using a cheap 1tb hdd, they've made cuts specifically to make the console cheaper whilst ensuring its still powerful.

I can't see Microsoft releasing the console at too high of a price, it would be suicide in a market they're already miles behind. Just being more powerful than the PS4 won't ensure success
>>
>>175502830
It's all going to come down to advertising.

This is how 343 operates. Take a good look.
There are two avenues they care about when it comes to multiplayer.

1. Shoving the lore into as many aspects as possible even for the most unnecessary circumstances.
2. Appealing to the ideals of the e-sports crowd.

It looks like the latter takes precident but whenever they can, they will shove more lore explanations in where not needed.

Never said or implied that. I just think it's nice that a decade later we actually get some Halo levels. You know, the thing the whole franchise is based around and named after? That's all.
>>
>>175518081
Yeah I agree. It's been too long.

Like Reach made sense because it's a prequel, but then 4 only had a visible ring by one of the levels.
And then 5... it's like they completely forgot about it and right before the game was finished said "eh, I guess we should give them 3 seconds of a halo ring before the game ends"
>>
>>175517815

It's hit an miss. Futurama and Rick and Morty are too close to call too. Rick and Morty only has 2 seasons but they're both fantastic.

That's the right choice

Depends on who it's up against. Besides. Gendy's SJ won anyway
>South Park beat by Billy and Mandy
Yeah that's dumb
>Avatar beating The Simpsons
the Simpsons hasn't been good in 10 years
>Avatar beating Batman TAS
They're both great shows.

Ren and Stimpy is far superior than Dexters Laboratory imo. Funnier, unique and inspired a lot of animators.

It doesn't matter if The Simpsons hasn't been good in years, when it was good it was fucking gold

Avatar just has an advantage when compared to most other cartoons because it draws from the superior Japanese tradition of animation instead of the crass and commercialized American one.

Fucking hell, I've been listening to old Halo game scores for hours and it's hitting me with a freight train of nostalgia.

It's making me a little sad to be honest.

>>175539985
That feel.

>>175539985
I remember being 9 or 10 playing halo CE with my friend, all summer long. We would go for an hour or 2, doing splitscreen in the campaign, then run outside into the woods and play out the levels. Pretending sticks were sniper rifles, throwing pinecones as grenades, getting on our bikes and pretending they were warthogs or banshees. I will always cherish those memories.

I know /hg/ is hyper critical and negative most of the time, but I really think it's not just because we hate it. I think it's because we all love the series and are dissatisfied with the way it has been treated recently.
>>
>>175540626
Halo CE was my childhood. I think I picked up the PC version in 2002, beat the game on every difficulty eight or nine times, struggled through multiplayer on a dial-up connection then stopped playing five years later only to get absorbed into Halo 2 and 3 for another five years.

Oh, believe me, I love it.
But it aged like fucking shit, I honestly just have more fun playing 2 as far as gameplay goes.

Get mcc. It costs 5$. It's buggy but worth it especially for Halo 2 anniversary.

We mostly play halo 5, it's not as shit as you would think, unless you're only in it for the campaign. It has a custom game browser, the forge mode is god-tier, and the multiplayer is finally back to even starts balanced gameplay with no fucking perks or armor abilities or Loadouts.

halo ce is still a great game

Really? What about abilities and shit? How are the maps? I fucking hated Halo 4

Is MCC matchmaking playable at all now?

CE has aged wonderfully, although only very recently has it begun to more closely resemble the shooters that came before it more than the current shooters on the market.
>>
>>175541960
there is no argument youre just wrong

>>175541968
Maps are mediocre and forgettable. There's still Sprint, so maps are stretched the fuck out. There's also a thruster, so combined with sprint, grenades have more range than the Reach Beta for balance. There's also ground pound, mostly useless at high level play. You can now clamber onto ledges. You can slide out of Sprint.
Every gun is worth using because they all kill so quickly, particularly autos at close range. Power weapons melt you, so you don't see as many on maps compared to, say, Halo 3. There's low aim assist but high bullet magnetism, and the pistol is the utility weapon with a high skill ceiling, but you're better off dropping it since every precision weapon on the map is pretty much a straight upgrade from it.
Every gun has smart scope to zoom and reduce spread, and a lot of it looks like aiming down sites without the movement penalty to appeal to the CoD/BF crowd.
Many memers call it the best multiplayer since Halo 2. Ignore them. Judge it on its own merits.

MCC matchmaking does work and still has an OK population... Bugs will vary between players though. Some people never experience any, some people experience a fuckton.

As for 'abilites' in 5, I guess you could say they're still here. Except unlike reach and 4 where everyone can have a different ability and there's cancerous shit like jetpacks, armor lock, or wallhacks, everyone has access to the same abilites at all times and are on an even playing field.

There's sprint, which you can obviously use to run faster, but at the expense of your shields not recharging until a few seconds after you stop. There's boost which you can use to quickly move out of the way of things, or get horizontal distance on jumps. There's clamber which lets you climb ledges at the expense of not having your gun up for a moment while doing it. (don't worry, this one is usually unnecessary, and there is still a huge variety of skilljumps and such, more than any other halo)

Then there's Spartan charge, which is a melee type thing you can do while you're sprinting to knock into an enemy, taking down their shield. It will leave you stunned for a second though, so usually it's not worth it. The last one is ground pound which is a vertical melee type thing, you can basically smash down on an enemy from above, however it leaves you vulnerable.


Everyone having all these things at once might seem overwhelming, but trust me, it's WAY better than armor abilities and feels closer to classic halo overall.

Thanks, I'll keep an open mind and give it a spin.

Dare I even ask: What's so bad about the campaign? H4 was forgettable but people seem to hate 5's campaign, I see everybody shitting on it
>>
>>175542725
It's better to see for yourself. Drop your gamertag and make a post when you eventually pick up the game. It's oriented around 4-player co-op so 3 of us could probably join you for the best experience but mostly I just want to see someone's honest reaction to how awful it is

We don't play reach often, I would go with what the other anons said and get 5&MCC. The 60fps is wonderful so going back to reach after playing literally all the other halo games like that is pretty jarring, although we do still play it maybe 3 or 4 times a year...

MCC download codes can be found for like 5$ and H5 codes go for 10-15$ so I would definitely recommend that over getting physical, unless you really want the boxes.
