Realizing the absolute state of the 7th gen console library is one of the biggest JUST moments I've had in a while. My brother lives in town with me and we've played that same disc almost every weekend since highschool when it came out. We've still got the ODST multiplayer disc but I don't know if the 360 will last forever. There's going to be so much shit completely lost to time, there's already a shit ton of stuff lost in the form of DLC and multiplayer only unlocks. The OG consoles like the NES and the PC library will be around forever, but these will go on like a blur in our memory and what does persist of them will be fragmented and incomplete. Just fuck my shit up.

Having to be patched back together by fans who no matter how hard they try can't replicate the original, especially with how meticulous bungie was about level design and the interesting ways they anticipated AI behavior in the maps.

Yeah but looking at someone else's work and having to deduce is a far cry from the intimate knowledge of the original creators. You look at other re-implementation projects like OpenMW and even they aren't able to nail it exactly right the first time with loads more documentation than Halo because there's shit they had no way of knowing before trying and comparing to source behavior. That's like looking at house blueprints and thinking you can create a perfect duplicate of an existing one. The reality is that once you start ripping up the walls you'll find things were improvised along the way and possibly only documented in word of mouth among the workers.

Do you two actually own the game or you just spew the same bullshit as your favorite soytuber shill? The weapons and items still fucking hover in halo 3, which makes getting a certain skull in the level "cortana" impossible because it rolls down the slope it was supposed to be sitting in, 2's physics and multiplayer are STILL utterly fucked because halo 2 anniversary is a port of the already fucked vista port and reach still isn't included in the collection just because they want to jew up the price of physical copies, before it was fully playable on xbone you could get a copy for 5 dollars, now it's $15 and $30 on the store.
>hurr but it's the MASTER CHIEF collection retard, not the HALO collection
ODST doesn't even show the chief in the entirety of its campaign whereas reach has an easter egg where you can see him resting in his pod in the pillar of autumn, now tell me which one is more deserving of being in the MCC, the game where he doesn't have a single appearance or the fucking prequel of the game where the chief debuted in?

Why do people like to pretend that Halo ruined FPS? Nobody forced other IPs to start aping their design decisions. Halo didn't stop old school shooters from being made either. It was fans choosing not to buy them. The genre of shooter you want was already at its zenith with Quake 3, and everything after that was just downhill as evidenced by every failed attempt to revive it. To blame a console shooter for the death of FPS across all platforms is retarded. You think Halo made Reflex or Toxikk sell like shit? It's taking playercount from UT4? Get out of here.

Do you think that fixes anything? The game is a broken, buggy mess. It requires an update to be playable (Which has been a thing since DAY ONE since the multiplayer isn't even included on the disc).

There is no future for the franchise. It didn't need to continue past 3. ODST and Reach are nice spinoff prequel stories but they still weren't needed. Even the books weren't something people were clamoring for. If Microsoft was smart, they'd release the original trilogy all remastered on PC with near infinite potential for multiplayer options. That'd sell like crazy. Halo 4 and onwards needs to be locked behind a vault and forgotten.

DLC in Halo's case refers to map packs, Halo's map packs were typically 3-4 new maps and would go free after a few months (they only really cost money due to MS mandate in terms of updates on XBL and why 360 TF2 never saw any content updates)
Granted Halo 2's first 3 map packs ended up as a physical disc with some extras including the "day at the beach" cinematic. 3 had 4 or so map packs with a free map on Bungie day.
H1 technically didn't have DLC, unless you count Custom Edition as it fits the bill of Downloadable content and it's not really an expansion pack. The only real requirement for Custom Edition was a legit CD key from Halo PC and since most owners already had HPC it was a given

Thing is though with this mod they're taking AI routines, maps and scripts and animation placements FROM Halo 3. The only work being done is translating it to work in the ED iteration of the -blam- engine. Halo's engine itself is pretty self contained and why H1-H3 loaded so quickly, the maps are compiled in a way that allows for virtually no loading screen and why on campaign maps loading between BSP chunks is so quick over even half-life on a modern computer.

I know it sucks to lose a physical copy or even the console itself, but it's not the end of the world. There are millions of copies out there and the consoles aren't too rare either. You don't even need a HUEG for 1 and 2, I'm pretty sure the 360 runs it 100% with it's BC.
Now onto the real topic: Which Halo had the best weapons? I'm playing through CE right now and I just adore the shotgun's range and actual 8-gauge power and how the 60-round assault rifle can chew through 5 grunts at a time unlike the SMG or the anemic ARs in the other games. The OP magnum is the only downside in multiplayer. As for absolute worst weapons it's a split between Reach just because of how many useless additions it has and SPV 3 just because it's a total "add everything" fuckfest. The Carbine's muzzleflash covers the crosshair when you fire, how did that even get past playtesting?

Yeah I know. I was just thinking about 8-10 years down the line when the trilogy turns 20 and scalpers start wreaking havoc like the faggots they are.
As far as weapon balance, yeah you're pretty much correct. Everything in CE felt powerful. It was great for PvE. The multiplayer side of the spectrum though turned out to be too deadly for bungie's taste so they nerfed most things into the ground to extend TTK in later installments. Halo 2's introduction of dual wielding really fucked over the balance for those that were capable like the smg and the magnum. Its like they just halved the damage to make sure they weren't too powerful when you had two of them. By the time 3 rolled around there were very few ways to actually achieve quick kills on people. Think about it
>melee into headshot
>charge shot into melee
>shotgun at point blank
>sword or hammer
>sniper rifle headshot
>direct hit from either launcher
All of those either require you to be in their face or have really good aim. The former requires the element of surprise or good positioning skills. The latter is just pure mechanical skill and not consistent enough for most people. I don't count nades or the laser as they have travel/det time and chargeup where enemies can actually fight back while its happening. Just things that would produce a kill quick enough for the enemy to be unable to react. Very little options which is why 3 was just a BR fest, as engagements at its primary range minimized most dangers to yourself. Far enough to dodge nades and other projectiles, far enough for the automatic and shotguns weapons to have too much falloff to be effective, not so far that you can't interrupt a sniper scope, the BR just dominated.

Yeah it did really feel like Bungie halved the damage on most weapons after CE. The Plasma Rifle got a big nerf just like you mentioned with the other weapons, I remember Arby's levels being painful if there were no rifles around to dual wield or no carbines.
I just miss being able to let loose with the AR with it's huge mag and massive ammo pool. It would have been nice if they brought back the original AR for Reach since 9/10 enemies are Grunts and take half an AR mag to kill since the 32-round AR also doesn't count headshots.

Yeah the old AR was an awesome cleaner but people didn't like getting focused down by the starting weapon in multiplayer. Bungie had to incentivize people to run around the map and collect weapons while also rewarding those who stayed alive long enough to secure the weapon advantage.
The AR by design is hard to balance. Its a hitscan automatic weapon with above average mag size, which means that missing shots isn't as punishing as it would be on a weapon with higher single shot damage like the BR or the covie. It doesn't have any interesting counterplay and is relatively straightforward. They started worrying about how much damage they were putting into those mags, how much leeway they were giving people to get the kill. The CE AR has 3-4 spartans in its 60 shot mag. Later installments have 1.5 kills in them at best. This would have been fine if they gave it some unique property to combo with another weapon, but the AR has no synergy with anything and is best dropped for the first two weapons you find.

I don't think you know what that means. All weapons in H1-H3 have travel time. You can actually look at this in H1 and H2 with their editing kit on the PC.
The issue with the H1 AR is it behaved more like an SMG than a rifle and te pistol behaved more like a rifle than a pistol (which is why pretty much every good player on HPC and HCE you'll see exclusively using pistol because it's a 3 shot kill weapon if you can into aiming.
Reach had hitscan due to the size of the maps and it was bungie keeping the amount of data being sent between players low.

And as much as I enjoyed Pathways into darkness and marathon, Halo did overcome obstacles consoles shooters typically suffered from. Itself is blameless, corporate greed and envious rivals are what flooded the market with "Halo killers".
Look at what happened to Halo 2, you think that was all corporate meddling? That's a case of, in bungie's own words "Landing a plane in a 45 degree power dive while on fire" and that came from the fact their first iteration of the -blam- engine used in H2 was too much for the xbox's hardware.
Hell Halo 1 had issues, so much so that MP was almost entirely cut out and left to essentially 1 guy to put it back in. Originally MP was a battlefield clone in terms of gameplay, but it got axed because they were having trouble with it.
>Being a Quake fan makes you a retard, being a Quake fan outside the first game makes you a good goy corporate cocksucker.
Quake itself, outside of technical improvements, never really improved on it's own gameplay and it and UT are a major reason why the arena FPS genre stagnated.

Even ignoring other stuff like the wintel port of Marathon 2, the licensed Marathon 2 games (ZPG, PT, DI), and the distribution deal for Abuse, Bungie's big crossplatform break was Myth. Myth embodied much about Bungie's old fanbase, including its focus on highly user-friendly modding tools, its extensive but obtuse lore, and its pioneering multiplayer
In contrast, Halo lacked online multiplayer until Halo 2, which introduced mandatory matchmaking, (on XBox) only gained crippled modding with Halo 3, and stripped so much of the text-based in-game supplamentory lore in favor of cutscenes that the games were completely upstaged by a TIE-IN ADVERGAME.
>barring Oni
Oni was an abortive effort, pushed out the door prematurely due to contractual obligations with Take2/Sony on the eve of the M$ buyout.
>Originally MP was a battlefield clone in terms of gameplay
That is selling it incredibly short. It was a cooperative campaign, in an open world, with a story. Perhaps the best comparison would be something like ARMA, minus the hardcore tacticool.
>Halo did overcome obstacles consoles shooters typically suffered from
Like what? Removing aiming so it could be played with a gamepad?
>Quake […] and UT are a major reason why the arena FPS genre stagnated
No, the reason was because the generation of console kiddies produced by Halo introduced a new playerbase to whom clans, modding, marksmanship, and actual map control were alien concepts. When they flooded into the PC following the mid-gen-7th-gen console crash and ascendency of Steam, they latched onto gimmicky class/loadout mechanics as a crutch, a crutch that intersected perfectly with microtransactions that every studio formerly making arena shooters seized on, birthing every flavor of cancer from Overwatch to Fortnight.

You're confusing the old story of Halo with what was to be Halo's original MP. Originally, in a interview with the lead dev for HCE's MP it was said that the original MP was more in line with battlefield games where you had these massive objective based maps with classes. They couldn't fit it onto the xbox so what we got is what Halo's MP is known for. The dev was inspired even by shit like counter strike
>Clans
>modding
>markmanship
>actual map control
>alien concept in Halo
What? Even in Halo 2 that was a thing, and if you looked at Xlink in the day they existed and as well as HPC and Custom Edition. Even map control was a thing, consider bloodgulch, if you don't hold the mid you don't have RL, and if you don't have that you can't keep enemy vehicles pinned down. Also remember Halo 1 weapons work like a traditional arena shooter, in that they respawn regardless if the weapons are in use or not.
>Halo 3 was the only Halo with modding
Except not really, Halo Custom Edition, which came out in 04 on PC came with the tools bungie themselves used to publish maps (Guerilla, tool, sapien), the only thing you DIDN'T get was a model program used to make the maps. Forge is a lobotmized version of Sapien, which is the object population tool.
>What obstacles

>Tie in adventure game

>Halo lacked online MP till 2
Except HPC came out before H2 and didn't require XBL. Not only that but Custom Edition was launched around the time of HPC and allowed for custom user content. So much so that a mapping team known as "Z team" managed to port a few highly popular H2 maps and the assets into HCE (Though the sword on sanctuary became a meme itself)
>7th gen
You hop around so badly just to blame Halo it's not even funny. Even during 7th Gen you still had ODST and H3 which stuck more to a faster pace in MP than contemporaries like CoD, which emphasized hiding and waiting for an idiot to run across your screen.

I say something to the effect of this in each Halo thread, but treating PC FPSs and console FPSs like they are the same kinds of games is a mistake - mainly due to their different controls.

Reaching, it was far from popular. The only game I think I'd refer to something like that as a consideration in evaluating it historically would be the massive Kali community for WarCraft II.
>Even map control was a thing
Not to the same degree. From regenerating health, to spawning players with grenades, to limited ability to carry weapons, the importance of map control was deminished.
>HPC and Custom Edition
<(on XBox)
Again, far from mainstream, considering 99% of Halo players were on XBox, and the PC ports for 1/2 both shipped in the leadup to the next game's XBox launch to ensure their being swamped. On top of this, Bungie easily could've done something like release their toolkit for PC on XBox launch, allowing mods made with it to be distributed to the multitudes of XBox players. Or provide a PC server package so you could host XBox clients on dedicated servers, like many Windows games did with Linux.
>Aiming is still required and Halo isn't the first game to implement bullet magnetism.
That doesn't excuse popularizing it as acceptable. And Halo's auto-aim is well beyond "bullet magnetism", all wrapped up in far more deception than most previous titles (for instance, in Goldeneye, auto-aim is a toggleable option, and the onscreen gun actually moves to indicate that it's happening).

Honestly, if you can't aim straight, which you can't on a gamepad, the only solution is to stop pretending you're a shooter at all like Metroid and openly hand control of that non-mechanic to the computer. Anything else is Dora The Explorer-tier.

You see anon, the solution to that is to add plenty of aim assist and magnetism, slow down movement, reduce map size to compensate, then reduce the amount of ordinance available to the player - since they only have so many buttons on a controller - and you have you have defined and perfected the FPS for all time: for consoles. All you need is the first console generation to have online conectivity to make gaming mainstream; which draws the market away from PC FPSs, and you're set for an industry. I mean if those new console FPSs are so popular, it looks like PC shooters need to "adapt" to them.

Inadequacy. I can tolerate the loss of the game franchise, but I can never forgive what they did to the books, by railroading the authors into their stupid revisionist take on the lore (most especially the forerunners, who were outright stated to be ancient humans [hence the "reclaimer" title, and covenant scanners registering human constructions as forerunner relics]).

Halo was never Mac exclusive, Myth II was the last Bungie game made primarily on Macs. Being a Mac gamer when Bungie sold out was definitely suffering for plenty of reasons, though.

Weren't a lot of the sillier lore decisions already in place with the earlier novels? Only one of them was actually written by a dev (Staten).

As I recall, the earlier novels were pretty consistent. There was some lore-raping with the Reach game, but I considered it tolerable as long as the game was good (the book was better, though, because Eric Nylund is amazing). But the thing isn't so much the lore rape with 343 as the quality downgrade of the books that was caused by it. Or maybe 343 only worked with shit authors, it doesn't really change what happened.

That would explain half of it. Traviss is okay -just okay- as an author, but she can only handle her one specific fetish niche for the tribal warrior shit (from my experience with her: mostly the Republic Commando books), which does not fit into Halo at all

There was never a Mac version of Custom, though people were able to hack together ways to port custom content to Mac, and of course Custom can be emulated via Cider or whatever.

It's too bad the ed devs are fags that used their irl names instead of using p2p hosting and being anonymous for the project. Kinda like skidrow crackers, except what they are doing is legal in the united states and the only thing microscam can do is copyright troll projects that aren't complete. Discord is not anonymous tbh, so if those fags get targeted they are screwed.

I think the individual worms make up a single sentient being in the lore, the same way all the cells in your body make up you.

Some people in this thread have complained that Halo feels "floaty" but I don't get that really. I feel like you are getting the right experience of playing a 7'2" super soldier leaping into the air in what is probably a low-gravity environment. Perhaps less sensible in Halo 2 on Earth, but oh well.
The overall movement speed is what is kind of a let down, you just can't run very fast and it's very noticeable if you hop into Halo immediately after playing most other FPS games.

Mlekgolo are the worms proper and they create a Lekgolo when the worm colony reaches a certain mass. This mass also splits into a "brother" colony which is why Hunters come in pairs. It's also why they berserk when the 2nd hunter is killed as you've essentially not just killed a hunter but part of the colony cluster itself.

They mentioned in the last few updates how Reach was being heavily requested for the MCC. So there is a chance that it will join the MCC as a future DLC like ODST was.

To be fair, it takes a certain type of person to get popular on Jewtube. Either you get lucky as fuck, get shilled by a big Jewtuber because you metaphorically or literally sucked their dick, or you were around and active for the first few years of Jewtube's existence and didn't get too stale for the normalfag masses.

No it isn't; ROMs are one of the most basic things to have and benefit more from more people having them

Allowing newfags near where ROMs are is a recipe for disaster. "HURDURR I GETS ALL MY ROMS AT COOLROMS IT IS THE BESTEST" in a screeching chorus is the last thing I always see before the repo in question gets shut down, and they invariably hassle emu authors with clueless questions, as well as getting forums shut down by posting bare URLs.
Strict segregation between discussion/software (emulators, hacking tools, patches, etc.) stable in the open, ROMs unstably hosted further afield, is the best policy.
