You know there's something oddly sad about both Bungie and 343i both being husks pretending to be what they once were.

Say what you want about halo, it being slow and all, two weapons kind of being lame. As far as a casual arena shooter it was decent.

It's a real shame that it was slowly eaten from the inside out by microsoft until it was finally empty.

the funniest thing about this is that dumping even free copies of D2 wouldn't prop up its player numbers. They did what they did in D1 where the base game is basically unplayable once DLC comes out, because everything other than the basic story missions gets levelbumped to a level you can't get without buying the DLC.

No, I get how in a modern sense Halo would play more similarily to Overwatch since they took basically all the free-for-all modes out of the matchmade multiplayer and made it a pain in the ass to actually play custom games because it's bad for server activity metrics, but honestly, you would have to be silly to not be able to recognize the obvious difference between a sluggish shitfest arena fps and what is pretty patently obviously a team based Objective shooter.

Even if this were true and Halo was a slow arena fps it would be a terrible arena fps because its a genre about going fast. Regenerating health (shields are this by another name) is also a terrible fit with a genre where you should have to rely on picking things up.

>Is Quake 3 the only Arena FPS in existence?

>It's like saying witcher 3 and skyrim aren't both rpgs because they have different gameplay.

False analogy. Halo and Quake III are both fpses (same genre like Witcher and Skyrim are RPGs) but different sub-genres. Fucking battlefields is still an FPS but clearly a different sub-genre to either.


7599a3 No.14537188

The argument wasn't "is Halo a fast Arena FPS" it was "is Halo an Arena FPS". Glad you've conceded our point. Halo 1 and Halo Reach also have fixed health alongside regenerating shields.

>>14537188

>The argument wasn't "is Halo a fast Arena FPS" it was "is Halo an Arena FPS"

I already told you they aren't really arenafps but yes I don't have a proper definition. However even if you think halo comes under my half-assed 5 minute definition its clearly a bad arena fps so its shit either way.

>Halo 1 and Halo Reach also have fixed health alongside regenerating shields.

7599a3 No.14537254

No they aren't. You can have full shields but low health, or vice versa. Energy weapons do a lot of damage to shields, but don't do a lot of damage to health, bullets do the opposite. It's more like a regenerating armor bar then health, in some ways.

>>14537217

In what way? They both have the same basic gameplay flow. You spawn with the same weapons your enemy does, you try and reach respawning, fixed weapon spawns, you maintain control of the map to deny your enemy as much as possible whilst shooting and killing them. The pace is slower, the map is more vertical, and there's more hitscan weapons, but from a game design perspective it's built off the same groundwork. Games like Call of Duty or Insurgency by contrast, are structured to play completely differently even before movement and weapon design is taken into account.

<False analogy.

No it's not.

<Halo and Quake III are both fpses

Correct.

<same genre like Witcher and Skyrim are RPGs

Correct.

<but different sub-genres.

Incorrect, skyrim is not an RPGFPS because it has 3rd person and it isn't centered around the FPS aspect nor is it a shooter although it is a component.

Jrpgs are separate from western rpgs because jrpgs are shit and gay, not because they have different gameplay.

So by your logic, fallout and skyrim are a different sub genre because a gameplay element is different even though the game plays effectively the same (im picking firearms in this case) ,

Fallout having guns turns fallout into a Grpg (gun rpg) and if you dare mis-genre my favourite autism game then you better watch the fuck out.

or maybe an fps is just an fps and a rpg is just an rpg and your pathetic attempts to muddy the water so you can say cringe inducing retard shit like "nah man i only play arena fps it's where the real skill is not like these crappy modern games not like those other fps games man"

Ah, okay. So you can get a speed boost by jumping off downslopes and vehicles then. Coincidentally that sounds similar to Tribes which I mentioned in my last post. Wish I would have known that when I was actually playing Halo when it was new. However, typically bunny hopping implies that there is something inherent to jumping or air control which allows you to gain speed, not just reduce friction.

Well, a good level set isn't a group of similar levels. Even if they're good, you have to at least space them out amongst other types of levels. It depends on what you consider repetitive in games.

Even before Microsoft bought Bungie Halo was designed around having an enormous open world with vehicles and large battlefields. It was never supposed to be an arena type shooter and the focus on multiplayer came later. So it's a weird hybrid of the two genres with some later games being more focused on it.

>>14537352

I'm guessing their projection for esports becoming bigger than actual sports among the lucrative youth demographic didn't pan out. About 2 years ago many companies were saying that this was going to happen and invested heavily in that scene. Hell even the corrupt olympics keeps talking about including video games as it's the only way to bring in a younger audience.

the thing about halo is that unlike cod it follows older fps archetypes with alien enemies that all have a role and use projectile weapons the player can dodge as opposed to forcing them to take cover 24/7 which is garbage, and vehicles are actually fun to drive/use. multiplayer being inspired by arena shooters but with vehicles allowed for much fun to be had with custom games and if it were on PC it would have been solid, which is why i would like to see a more stable population for halo online and halo 2: project cartographer

With Bioware getting close to dying, I really can't take anymore of all these companies that i hated (or clearly didn't fall for their decorated trash quality) getting so close to dying. The Halo games although decent games, popularized the horrible console fps and drove the abismal new console fps audience that COD would continue fueling for every pennie. Sure Half-life kind of did the same, but at least it was still a PC FPS, and it didn't fund a kill switch console, nor one of the worst corporate whoring audiences.

The only Halo 343 was involved with (before it became their property) was Reach. You can tell from some of the weapon designs and sound effects they carried over into their games.

Shit weapon variety, shit weapon limit, shit health regeneration, shit level design due in part to the enabling effect of health regeneration, shit movement, shitty autoaim that cannot be turned off. Halo is a shitty game that pushed a number of highly cancerous mechanics on the console FPS genre and it never recovered. Halo does not even deserve the excuse of "but it was for consoles", because the console FPS genre had built up a number ideas in the preceding years to make up for the shortcomings of its control scheme and create an experience that could not be had on PC. Hardly a year before Halo's release, this game introduced the FPS world to a wide swath of highly innovative ideas–all of which were ignored and forgotten for the sake of pushing Quake But Really Shitty on console users (and eventually, even PC users) for generations after that.

Richard Lewis said it countless times. The Overcucks esports scene is a joke because Blizzard is a control-freak and jewy company.

Myth was good you faggot. If Bungie didn't get CORPED they could have continued to make good games.

Yeah but it's fucked, they've ignored the community for way too long.

There was "the endgame doesn't matter, it's all about making new friends" when people asked why the game ended with no valuable loot, then there was the EXP cap and the fake numbers, the timed events where players earn a chance to "win" something when they buy an engram with real money… Also there was the "oh we can't be bothered to create new stories, it's too hard" excuse for the lack of content in the expansions, coming from Bungie that's quite the insult to your fanbase and community.

I think the community (or what remains of it) would be ok if they said that they fucked up and they're now hard at work, crafting a new Destiny game that will fix most of the mistakes.

I unironically miss Halo. I have it on PC. But it's not the same. Anyone remember Schwinn's alpha on custom edition? That 24/7 server where one CTF match would go on for actual hours were some of the most fun I have ever had in a video game.

Halo is an arena FPS you fucking knobs. Everyone has the same loadouts. You upgrade them and yourself by finding powerups on the map. You can get around using gravity lifts and the maps are typically asymmetric. Only with reach did the distinction become hazy with the introduction of armor skills. Shut the fuck up.

I was barely hype for No Man's Sky and was in the mood for a comfy space exploration game so I ended up getting it on release. I saw the trailers, it looked interesting, so I picked it up. If the cake was like those trailers I would not have been very disappointed. But it wasn't at all like those trailers. It was barely a tech demo. There wasn't even herd AI like in the trailers. It blows my mind how bad that game was.

>What?

He's talking about Bungie's first big debacle.

Myth was a fucking great RTS with a lot of style (that was present because it copied the Black Company novels, but that's beside the point) and very good PVE and PVP gameplay.

Myth 2 expanded on the story and added some good features. Unfortunately, the dumbshit who set up the installer and uninstaller made one big mistake.

The game installed to C:\program files\bungie\myth 2. The uninstaller accidentally targeted c:\program files\bungie.

Normally this would just mean it uninstalled all bungie games on your machine. However, it was coded as

>find %GAME_DIR%

>go up one level (..)

>delete this directory

Somebody installed the game to C:\myth2, and when they uninstalled it, it deleted C:\*.*, wiping their hard drive.

The bug was caught early, and the Bungie employees spent a few days opening every box of Myth 2 and replacing the CD inside. This basically ate up their profits on the game.

A huge fuckup, but to say the games are bad because of it is bullshit.

(Also avoid Myth 3, different dev, no redeeming features)

"Halo killed FPS" is a meme. Quakee, UT, and Doom all had entires that came out not only after Halo, but Halo 2 as well. CoD4 is what actually homogenized it.

>>14537082

>Even when you ignore what it started it's thoroughly average and the SP is repetitive trash.

I wouldn't quite say this: CE's SP is horribily tedious and repetitive, but thiis is hardly something unique to halo and was a common issue for 90's/early 2000's shooters, though Halo CE had it pretty bad. In any case, Halo 2 onwards fixed that.

I don't think it's throughouhgly average, either: The Halo games, other then music and lore, don't do anything 10/10, nor do they ever do anything truly innovative or revolutionary (other then Halo 2's contributions to networking, it invented matchmaking hoppers and the party system) but they do everything at least "Good" if not "great". It's less about what it does for the industry/moving the genre fowards, as they are about taking ideas and stuff other games did and executing on evertyhing well and making a good overall package.

The Halo games for instance are relatively unique in that they put a big amount of focus both on SP and MP suites and having user created content tools/modular options for both, rather then only focusing on SP or MP and half assing the other; even if niether the SP and MP themselves do anything that unique.

> shit health regeneration

Halo CE didn't have health regen, and while Halo 2 and 3 had it (though invisible to the player), it's so slow it might not even be there. Shiield regen is a seperate system that reacts differently to damage.

Also, a weapon limit works well with Halo's gameplay. Aim assist is litterally nesscary for playing an FPS with analog sticks to not be torture unless you use some other sort of of system like lock on and such, which is what perfect dark did, and is ironically far more casualising then aim assist is. Perfect Dark's movement isn't any better then Halo's, and while t's single player level design is, Halo's sequels have better. >Even when you ignore what it started it's thoroughly average and the SP is repetitive trash.

>>14537088

I'd say it's

>Even starts

>weapons and powerups on map

>Focus on platforming

And then a less easily definable visual aesthetic and map design philsophy, both of which, Halo has in addition to the above 3 criteria. Halo.

>>14537104

Halo has grenade and rocket jumping, and depending on the specific game in the series: superbouncing, equipmenent boosting, swordboosting, and a ton of similar tech/exploits, and Halo 5 has slide, thrust, hover, ground pound,which can all be chained with each other plus sprint, and normal jumps for a lot of interesting movement pathways.

>>14537137

Halo is pretty much a slowed down UT with a bigger emphasis on single player.

Arena shooters fans are the only fans who ultimately define their genre based on speed, which is the same as a definition using numbers, and not mechanics, which is what everyone else does. This is probably why arena shooters are deader than fighting games, because at least fighting fans can agree on what a "true" fighting game looks like, and developers simply do not want to deal with the post-game, new game+ autism of the arena shooter.
