Halo 3 had a pretty cool trailer. Not much of an halo fan to be honest. We used to play the original one on the xbox back then with friends. Even had a little lan party back then but mostly played splitscreen. Was a fun game to play with friends. Later I found out about the custom edition for pc. Played on a modded server with snipers only in instagib mode. They also had this mode which caused the sniper rifle to launch you in the air every time you jumped and shot the ground, just like the gauss gun in half life.
Other than that… well I once played halo reach when I was at my friends place but only for like an hour. So I basically know nothing about modern halo, and basically nothing about the first one either since I have only played it in multiplayer.

I largely think the shit Reach gets is unwarranted, and is largely the result of people who started the series with 3 as kids. I find that people who started with CE (like myself) and 2 tend to be less negative on it.
It's certainly more experimental and it has issues as a result: Breaking even starts for default MP was a mistake, since it's really the only core, key element that was unchanged between CE and 3. The MP maps are also the worst in the franchise by far, and the soundtrack isn't as good as what came before it.
But other then that I don't get the hate. Per >>15959090's point, Reach's campaign isn't more linear then 3. 3, like 2, and CE aside from mission 2, is all linear to begin with. It IS true that 3 has more wide open playspaces then 2 and CE, but fundamentally it's still linear since you have a set pathway through each map. So if "less linear" just means "bigger playspaces", then Reach is actually even less linear then 3, since it actually has the largest spaces of any Halo game in it's missions, and like CE, actually has a fully non-linear mission in New Alexandria.
Likewise, even as a lorefag, the canonical inconsistencies don't bother me. I vehemently disagree with >>15959097 >>15959232's point that the books "don't matter", since Halo actually had it's first book come out before it's first game and in general has always positioned itself as an expansive multimedia franchise, but the canonical issues Reach had were minor: Almost all of them could be explained by either just logical inference or were explained in the journal that came with the limited edition of the game.
Anyways, I enjoy Reach since, to me (beyond the lore), Halo has always been about having a ton of shit to do in one package. Reach does this better then any other game in the series: A full length campaign, campaign matchmaking online, Firefight, Fireifhgt matchmaking, normal multiplayer and matchmaking for it, a hugely improved forge over 3, tons of custom game and firefight options and rulesets, etc. Visually I also think it has the best visual design in the series, and it has some of the best weapon and vehicle sandboxes: Almost every gun actually preforms well in it's intended role, unlike in 2 and 3 where half the guns suck even in their own niche, and there's very few duplicated "clone" guns, so even analogs between factions, like the Sniper Rifle and Focus Rifle, have different roles and attributes.
> 343 did worse by forcing you to buy books just to understand what the fuck was going on in their games.
This isn't the case and I wish people would stop spreading this meme. Halo 4 and 5's plots suck because 343 sucks at writing, not because they rely on the books. 4 in particularly actually explains more about the shit it introduces then any of the bungie games did: The Didact, Librarian, Promethians, The Composer, Requiem, etc all get explained to a decent degree in game, wheras CE, 2, and 3 just more or less expects you to pick stuff up as you go.
>>15959096
>The current Halo "EU" is a goddamn abortion.
Depends on what you mean, actually. The state of the universe as a whole is pretty horrible, since 343 can't advance the universe in a way that doesn't involve constantly making new galatic threats and confliocts and then resolving them quickly to save their lives, but on an indivual piece of media basis, pretty much every Halo novel they've done other then the Kilo 5 books have been great in isolation.
They outright have a higher average book quality then Bungie did. They just, again, can't link shit together in a way that's not super contrived.

this, however I disagree with you on reach linearity. When I said linear I meant linear, like the game literally had two on rails shooter sections. Furthermore, and maybe this is just misrembering, but halo 3 had huge areas for more than just flying. Like the Ark and the Covenant missions featured huge vehicle sections where you take on covenant armor and even TWO SCARABS, I REPEAT TWO SCARABS at one point. I do not remember any giant arenas like that in halo reach just alot of foot sections with the vehicles just being htere to take you from foot combat section A to foot combat sections B (see the only flying mission in Reach for a prime example)
40177d No.15960206
>>15959998
Reach did some things right such as the art style, armours, forge, returning the health bar, and spartan ass. But that's about it. They messed with the sandbox too much with loadouts and armour abilities and the balance really suffered. And like you said, the map design wasn't as good as prior games either.
As for campaign, you didn't get enough time to get to know the rest of Noble team so many of their deaths didn't have much of an effect except maybe Jorge's. Objective: SURVIVE was cool too.

Never played 5 and I doubt I ever will. 3 is my top game for forge mode and the fact that nearly every mission in the game features some sort of large assault alongside allied forces. 3 really made it feel like it was humanities last stand against the covenant and both sides were throwing all they had againt each other the entire way.

2 had a lot going for it and helped pave the way for how 3 was designed.

Actually, the reminds me, why haven't we seen any "arena shooters" advertised in the same manner that made Halo, COD, TF2, OW, and (now) Fortnite become the "hit" game to play? Rather than trying to invent a game people will play, it seems more like these idiots want to follow trends, are about a few years behind in what people want, or create games that "bring back that era" while all the people who actually do want to play that era of games actually play the games from that era.

Plus really nicely animated bricks. Those Hell levels show the merits of how animated environments make a game look 10 times better than it really looks. Halo 2's tremendous and expansive feeling environments make it a marvel today, at least how convincingly constructed they are. Half-Life 2 even has its outdoor levels feeling like cubed off hallways.

That's called making theme music. If you understood how Bungie used to think about games, you would understand that music is also a character in their games.
>Thanks for mentioning that every Halo after 1 merely recycles all the main characters and makes them worse while maybe adding one new one
Is what your comment reads like to somebody who understands and appreciates old Bungie's game design philosophy. If you think that carrying over characters and theme music from game to game is poor game design, that can be debated, but simply saying,
"Wow! This fucking drink is disgustingly bitter! Where's my soda?!" when you're sipping ceremonial-grade Japanese matcha just makes you an ignorant mongrel who is unaware of what they're consuming, be it tea or vidya. The "recycling" was done purposefully, and the themeing for each respective game was extremely appropriate, fitting in not only with the tone of the dialogue, but also the graphical refinements and overall art direction. i.e., H2 had electric guitars and had an overall "let's kick ass and chew bubble gum" theme compared to the original, seen in everything from the scorned Arbiter's quest for vengeance to the fact you can smoothly steal vehicles like some kind of James Bond character.

I understand the criticisms of people who think they don't feel right, but they need to understand they didn't figure out the nuances of it. The way Ghosts slide and strafe, warthogs can drift and whip around on a whim, the rigid but toppling feel of the tanks. HL2's mediocre vehicle implementation has none of the highs possible with Halo 2's and its infinitely better game play sandbox. The vehicle sections are even rightfully a core criticism of HL2's campaign, they're indefensible.

Not only did Halo 2 fuck up the vehicle physics that were great in Halo 1 it also resorted to a boring linear grindfest with a small amount of enemies.
The only good vehicle section is the one where the Arbiter fights through the Brutes and the Flood, that one is the only one even slightly tense and well designed.

The hovercraft is a chase sequence as an helicopter constantly harasses you and the buggy sections constantly gives you optional landmarks to stop by and explore.
Meanwhile in Halo 2 you follow a straight line while shooting the same 2 enemies.
It's literally grinding as they come in waves and the sections last 15 minutes.

As for Marty's "recycling", there's a reason why everyone knows the theme to Halo and can hum it. He used the music theory behind TV jingles to compose all of his songs. It's all to keep an emotion with each song, which he calls back to in each subsequent game. Not to mention, ODST and Reach had completely new themes.

Agreed on all points. Everything in Halo's vehicles is predictable, even the flying vehicles control as predictably as the land ones. H1 banshee dogfights are wonderful. Their inertia and turning radii are perfect and smooth, with the camera programming worked to a mirror polish.
>>15961436
>It's one thing to carry over 1 or two songs
>It's another to recycle the whole fucking catalog
But then, aren't you fighting the same enemies? Why should the themes change?
And then, you're even in the same structures fighting on another Halo? What then?
For Halo 2, note the songs Peril, Ancient Machine, and the Cairo suite. Never Forget on top of that. You are a fool to say there was not extremely worthy new music written for H2, and only just enough, just enough being the perfect amount of everything when you are Designing.
For H3, very little new music was written, as it was not intended to be nearly as new and ambitious as Halo 2 was, and so the art direction went, and so the core gameplay went (dual wielding not being so heavily emphasized anymore, very few new mechanics, more like polishing of old ones), and so the music was fit to match, going back to a remastering and polishing of the themes to fit the overall "slow and steady" approach of the game's direction. Everything fits together like a well designed museum exhibit, it's not about what you pile into an exhibit that's new, or huge, or extremely colorful. More important than new music, is music that fits what's occuring in-game. 100% brand-new music would not be any sort of improvement when everything in H3 is supposed to feel some degree of familiar, especially when the themes of the H3 game are "coming home" and "finishing what you started." How on earth pun intended, fuck you would 100% new music fit the themes "coming home" and "finishing what you started? How would just carrying over 1/4th of the music fit that theme? It wouldn't. Marty's choices were decisive and flawless. Coming home means familiarity, and finishing what you started means starting from the same spot where you left off. The decision making is there, whether you can see it or not. Just like a painter has to decide when to stop painting, or when to touch something up, or when to leave a little less detail in one place to bring out the detail in another place, so did Marty do with the music.

Well, loadouts in reach are litterally just armor ability selection, so I don't think it's fair to treat it as a distinct problem. It's not like 4 where loadouts had actual weapon selectiion/perk stuff. And as I said, I think Reach's weapon sandbox is one of the best in the series.

The idea that Halo killed Arena Shooters is retarded. Doom, Quake, and Unreal Tournament all had games that came out not only after Halo CE, but after Halo 2. And Halo itself has most in common with Arena shooters, it's basically just a slower UT that has a weapon limit and also full length campaigns.
Cod 4 is what actually killed Arena Shooters and made brown and grey modern day FPS's common.
>>15961450
>>15961469
>>15961469
5's new movement shit actually complements's Halo's lack of movement tech compared to other Arena Shooters, and preserves even starts, unlike Armor abilities, and most of the shit it introduces meshes well with Halo's gameplay and is well executed.
The campaign is shit, the story is shit, the art style is still bad, and it having no local play is inexcusable. But I'll stand by that on a mechanical level it's very solid.

Firstly, H2A's campaign has LITTERALLY the exact same visual design as the original game. There's no difference other then visual fideality. So unless you dislike 2's original art style, you are just being a luddite.
Secondly, I was speffically talking about H2A's multiplayer there, which is on a distinct engine, made by a different dev, and has it's own visual style. Basically combines the few good bits of 343's stuff (their skyboxes, pastels and volumetric effects, strong sense of atmosphere) with bungie's (UNSC stuff has hard edges and gunmental gray, lot's of geometric shapes, covenant stuff is smooth without beinf super organic like 343's, highly iridesecent), etc.
>>15961772
>Yeah, those open areas that didn't funnel you on a bridge or a path are so much worse.
Yes, they are, because they are fucking empty. Having open spaces doesn't fucking matter if they are just litterally empty fields with no actual geometry on them, and, again, CE is litterally just as linear, it's open spaces just seem bigger due to them being emptier.
>Halo 2 is just a big corridor
2's open playspaces aren't any smaller, they just actually have shit in them. Outskirts, Metropolis, Delta Halo, Regret, Gravemind, Uprising, Quarantine Zone, High Charity, and Great Journey all have large playspaces, they just have things like buildings, rock fomaraitons, catwalks, etc filling them. CE also has far, far, FAR more coordior mazes then 2. You are being retarded.
>uninspired alien visuals.
>Doesn't even have a swamp, a sub tropical beach, a night section or an Snow section.
So an alien city with a unique visual style, forerunner ruins in a jungle-lake, etc are less inspired then generic swamp, generic beach, and generic snow level? Are games REQUIRED to have swamps, beaches, and snow missions?
I'd say you are baiting but your point here is too stupid and assnine to even be bait. You are just an idiot who is mad 2 isn't exactly like CE.
>>15961797
Again, 2 has just as many as CE, just filled with more actual geometry and structures. Reach has more then both CE and 3.

Blatantly false.
Though it doesn't commit the crime of flagrantly reusing models from previous games, there are still obvious and notable cases of designs being swapped with those from halo 4 and onwards. The biggest example of this being the warthogs and grunts. And let's not get started with the unnecessary changes to sign text and certain elements of sound design.

Except you are talking out of your ass, Halo 2 Anniversary's grunts use Halo Reach's designs as a base, and reach's grunts are pretty much just a direct upgrade of 3's grunts.
The Halo 4 style warthog also isn;t an issue because the Halo 4 warthog is a pretty clearly direct evolution of the bungie design to the same extent as the above or as the changes of anything between CE, 2, and 3. It's not something like halo 4 grunts or jackals or halo 5 covenant venhciles or halo 4/5 pelicans where the actual visual design changed.
>>15962245
>>15962256
Having complex geometry DOES give you more freedom to apporach enemy encounters because you actually have cover and other things you can use in combat, in CE's wide open fields and shit the freedom doesn't fucking matter since no matter how you engage them it plays out the same way due to the lack of geometry impacting the encounter.
>rips off the Covenant aesthetic in CE isn't inpired
So lemmie get this straight, an environment that builds off of and enhances the previously established unique visual aeshetic of the previous game isn't inspired, but using generic biomes that appear in a variety of games, genres, and even other fucking enterainment mediums IS inspired?

"Halo Kiddies" are now in their mid-twenties, time has moved on. We can look back on the early Halo games and recognize that while they were in many ways inferior to classic PC shooters, they were also Bungie's way of bringing the closest you could get to a PC shooter experience on console. Online play, map customization, game type customization, file sharing, replays, all these were essentially Bungie trying to bring the PC experience to console. The addition of massive open maps and vehicles gave it an identity of its own, and while some see the 2 weapon limit as a result of the restrictions of the controller, it was actually to force the player to improvise. I believe the devs said they wanted Master Chief to seem like a guy who could overcome anything with whatever was at hand, so they limited how many weapons you could hold. Were they the pinnacles of shooters that some kids made them out to be? Not even close. But they were competent and made for fantastic LAN parties.

Yeah, even despite the limitations having to redevelop aspects of the game for a controller and to improve performance for the Xbox's small amount of RAM- the original game was at least a solid effort.

100% in agreeance. They favored visual styling and particle effects over performance, and they should have been able to strike a better balance. If he who laughs last laughs best, then we may come out on top in the end, given the progress of the xenia emulator, and the potential for 60fps hacks down the line. Reach in 1080/60 with a motion blur hack I have no idea if that in particular is possible would be orgasm-tier, and probably still look more cohesive and well-made than FPS' releasing today. DOOD comes to mind, as one that I would consider to be surpassed by a 1080/60 Reach.

No problem! I'll find it eventually. Speaking of that, do you have the Music of the Spheres from Destiny? I've psted about it a million times in the share threads, but in case you missed it, here's a link. This has the most pictures of the interior booklet that I've found - I put them together from Twitter pictures Marty himself uploaded and a couple people who got a copy of the original 100.
https://mega.nz/#!f0wiSBTJ!D5Qu8WetGun6JJOFVlvxKjt5eCDLYaj4D8ZFaS5TsQE
However this is only a 320kbps mp3 - I believe the nuBungie kikes did just release MotS for profit on vinyl with FLAC downloads available, so archival quality is likely now available elsewhere. Not that I've heard any artifacting after many dedicated listens with medium-high level equipment.

MotS? That is easily his compositional pinnacle, but I won't debate you about it. Even Marty said so himself, unironically, and not in a salespersons' kind of way. "The Union" and "The Ecstasy" as music purely written for listening, not music slanted towards influence by visual or kinetic effects, approach the divine. Seriously, listen to this shit…
>People who play Destiny should feel bad
I disagree that every aspect was disappointing, because I did like the art and music, but I do agree that anyone who currently plays it should reevaluate their lives. Though I will admit that I saw a short clip from what's apparently a new(?) raid from Destiny 2, and it did look fun, but they will never get my money again, and even if it was released single player I wouldn't even pirate it, ala DoW III.
I'm still fucking pissed that they deleted my account for inactivity, though. I was one of only 100 people who were a part of The Marty Army official Destiny clan, back with the original clan member limits and whatnot. I had the ARG avatar, too. Fuck me, that game was such a waste. I'm still mad. Reminds me of a story, though. I went to go visit my sister in Seattle and made a pilgrimage to Bungie studios on a holiday (MLK day) and unfortunately they were closed, but Jerome the infamous security guard, if you were a part of the Bungie forums before they got cucked by BLACKEDivision actually let me into their lobby, gave me a couple Destiny T-Shirts, and then Marty himself walked through the fucking door. I was able to tell him how much his music meant to me, and he actually stopped in his tracks, listened to everything I had to say, and humbly and gratefully thanked me for my kind words. He's one of the rare talented ones who doesn't let their fame get to their heads. He certainly didn't belong at the company Bungie let themselves become.

>Story
2>Reach*>3>1>ODST>anything that 343 made and probaly will make
Reach has an asterisk because it broke canon established in the novels. As someone who played the game without having read them I enjoyed the story greatly. However in principle new releases shouls stick to established rules.
I've heard a lot of people say that the story in Reach is bad because the characters die just before any development and you know that your team will ultimately fail.
The thing that I think that they're missing is that Reach wasn't supposed to be a story of herioc triumph like the other games. It's supposed to be a tragedy about sacrifice for a future that the heroes will never see.
As an adult I see many themes about religious extremism and questioning faith which at the time that Halo 2 was made were pretty touchy subjects. I wish that it had enough time to flesh out those themes, but I really appreciate what does exist of th intended story.
3 was pretty basic and I think that it was the right call. It does everything that it needed to do to wrap up the plot threads and serve as a self contained story for newcomers.
I know that putting ODST at the bottom is going to get me some (you)s but really think about what happened. What was the point of the broken sequence of events? What did investigating do beyond being a gimmick?
>Campaign level design
Reach>1>3>2
Halo 2 is a corridor shooter, and you know it. It has two missions which break from it. It was rushed and it shows.
Reach and 3 had some of the big areas as 1 did, but I personally like the ones in reach the most. I also liked the assisnations and trying to kill as many Elites as I could silently on my repeat playthroughs.
It's hard for me to decide about ODST. I think that its biggest problem was how bungie wanted it to be different but didn't have enough time to change the established formula.
>PvP
3>2>Reach>1
Halo 3 was without a doubt the highlight. I have many fond memories of staying up all night with my friends. In Eldewrito I can see that it isn't just nostalgia which makes me fond of Halo 3 multiplayer. Halo 2 might be the most leet game, but it lacked the sheer amount of customization that 3 and Reach had. Also the battle rifle is just annoying. I would have said Reach if not for bloom and armour abilities.Forge world was limitless. I still don't understand why no one has copied the cosmetic customization of Reach. Shit was cash.
CE was a fun party game, but the more that I played it the more that its flaws glared at me.

What was with all the gripe about halo reach being shit? It had so much to offer. Other than stuff I had against it (such as the characters being forgetable) I found this game to be one of the best in the in the series (either the best or second best coming right behind halo 2). Other than muh health bar and unlikable characters what was there truly to dislike in Halo Reach? I've heard a lot of bitching about it not being associated with Spartan 117 (or directly relating to that timeline) but the fact is, that halo reach was the very first novel written in the entire halo series. So it wouldn't be a valid argument to call this filler.
>The ai
For a fps, were several years ahead of pretty much everything on the xbox marketplace that I have played. They knew exactly when to rush you, when to lay off, and most importantly how to flank your ass into oblivion. The ai were clearly fine tuned with a kind of patience and finesse that pros are made of. The devs really worked their magic here. Don't believe me? Play the campaign or firefight alone on legendary difficulty and tell me its easy.
>Customization
It allowed every nook and cranny of your character to be customized far surpassed anything before it.
>The forge
Improved in every way.
>Power ups
A lot of people may hate on this, but I believe that allowing you to keep your power up and having a set recharge time, was a really good thing. It also felt far more balanced in this game than in the other games.
>Multiplayer
It had far more game modes and the maps felt like there was more detail put in them than the previous titles.
>The graphics
Obviously the best.
>Weapon balancement
It actually made you think as to what exactly you should do. The unsc weapons were by and far the shittiest in the series against shields, but clearly did well against armor. The direct opposite was for the covenant weapons. So, instead of just keeping your ar and a shotgun the entire time, it made you think about using something specifically designed for taking out a different defence. And that's not even mentioning the fact that this actually allowed for the combat to actually follow the novels for once. What was just described here, is clearly described in the novels of how combat works. So, bungie finally stopped retconning the novels (that the games are based on) so what we get is people bitching about healthbars??? Hmmm…

>The ai
There also really good at camping too (and not just the skirmishers). The mission long night of solace, will force you to go up this tenacious hill just to get past the level. Occasionally, some ai would come and try to flush you out but that's about it. They also throw grenades at you even if you stay in cover for even two seconds making open maps really fucking hard. Even before the hill I was still getting flanked to death on constantly on solace. Completing the game on legendary was a huge rage fest.
8107c4 No.15968244
>>15968227
The problem with legendary is that enemies are extremely mobile and come in swarms, especially regarding skirmishers and elites. It's true that the AI is about being more mechanically intensive instead of just turning everyone into bulletsponges, but the movement and the weapons of those two enemy types makes them extremely lethal and since higher difficulties spam them the entire level, you end up in areas where you die constantly, feeling cheaper because your movement remains the same and moving from cover to cover is a gamble where you run like a headless chicken in the hopes you don't die.

This is exactly how I felt during the entire campaign tbh. The only opponent that was worthy of being a bullet sponge was hunters because they didn't have great mobility. Of course, they still managed to keep their weak spots hidden from you. The only weak spot you could shoot at in their peripheral vision was a spot on their head which they can block with their shield.

MP3 compresses audio to fit in a small filezise, with this compression you lose audio quality.
This is fine for most people because they listen to music with shit tier apple earbuds and beats, where they can't tell the difference because everything that comes out sounds like faggotry.
If you have better headphones try listening to a FLAC encoding vs MP3 encoding and hear the difference.
