>and 4

That's weird.

>but not 5

Why? 5 came out forever ago. Shouldn't they just all be there? Or shouldn't it just be 1, 2, 3, ODST, and Reach, and then MC2 collection gives us 4, 5, and 6finite? Why are they so incomp… THEY'RE GOING TO SELL THE ENTIRE GAME OF HALO 5 AS DLC.

>>16238988

They're still "working" on that piece of shit game, so it's gonna be some time till they give a shit and put it on PC.

>>16238969

>I wonder what the price point will be?

probably $30

>>16238969

Each game is being sold separately. It's an Early Access title with the different games being put up as DLC over time.

>>16239008

That's not how the collection worked on consoles, why would it be like that here?

>>16239008

I think the plan is to allow people to buy either the MCC or each game separately. That said the MCC won't have every game at launch, only Reach so far.

>>16238998

Oh, 5 is still getting updates on the Xbox? Or do you mean they said they're working on "getting it running" on PC? I haven't paid attention to any information I didn't receive here.

I'm mostly waiting to play 3 since I never have, and also for the Halo 4 Cortana model rip porn. 3 and 4's faces are ugly, but 5 is literally just a tranny head to toe.

>>16239008

It's not being sold separate its just coming out in waves because probably want to keep people playing it by staggering games.

>>16239019

Both, that turd of a Halo game is still getting updates, and they're focusing on the easy shit as the pre-Xbone Halo games first. Seeing as Splash Damage is there (they've worked on getting Gears of War 4 on PC) they'll eventually get Halo 4 on Steam, maybe after Halo Infinite.

>>16239028

>Halo 5

Fuck

>>16239008

Oh, for fucks sake.

They should just drop it all at once for $80-100 and make a killing. With the added bonus of a community Renaissance.

By staggering it all the normalfags will just play Reach then say "Ok so that's what Halo on PC is like" then move on to the next flavor of the month fps.

I was only interested because I never got to play Halo as a child

>>16239035

Yeah but the main problem is to download it through the shitty store.

>>16239038

0/10.

>>16239040

I want a kid AI companion. That doesn't mean I want to rape children. I'm negatively portraying the legalization of pedophilia. Learn how to read English, and learn what context clues are.

>>16239019

>also for the Halo 4 Cortana model rip porn

There was one on the Workshop but it's gone.

I'm actually interested in this release since the last Halo I played was 3, but I have heard good things of ODST and reach, that and Halo 1 online on pc? fuck yes nigger

>>16239053

*fuck reticle bloom

The DMR was fine. The intellectual player appreciates a semi automatic rifle, but shot spread randomized to that degree is not acceptable. Counterstrike almost has it right, but the random number generator often determines winners.

>>16239008

Sucks that, apart from reach (which I don't really care about), the ones that are becoming available first are the ones already playable on PC for years.

>>16239106

>bloom

what the fuck is this? just use accuracy you turbo faggot

I'd get it if it didn't have Halo 4. I'd rather pretend that abomination doesn't exist. I can at least live in willful ignorance that it's not canon and Halo never had another mainline game after 3.

>>16239120

The pc port of halo 1 fucking sucks

>>16239133

"Bloom" is the widely accepted term when discussing how accuracy work specifically in Reach.

>>16239120

Still a while before we can finish the fight.

>>16239075

Yeah Halo CE on PC was fun as fuck, way different than the trashbox version. And I'm pretty excited for Halo 3 as well, Reach was cool, but it was the decline for Halo, it's why Halo 4 was so fucked. Reach managed to do it a hell of a lot better though.

>>16239156

The modded multiplayer map of Silent Cartographer was great. 32 people at once… Damn, I miss the old days.

>>16239149

This is true.

>>16239159

That sounds fun as fuck. There were 32 players servers? I must have missed those.

are they going to have remastered versions (for the versions that do) or just straight up ports?

>>16238969

>requires xbox live account

This just reeks of fucking GFWL 2.0 and it's enough to make me doubt the quality of the whole thing, much more than I originally started to in the first place.

>>16239198

It's only for crossplay apparently. That "requirement" is on all Microsoft crossplay games.

>>16239203

so are we forced to play with xboners or do we only need to make an account if we want to crossplay?

>>16239198

i wish i could get my old battletag back from 3 by linking to my defunct 360 account, i had a tag that i wasn't supposed to be able to get (it ended with 00 and you weren't supposed to be able to do that)

not like it's anything important but i thought it was super cool at the time having a tag nobody else could get, no idea how i even got it

>>16239217

Don't know. If they're forcing more crossplay garbage then most likely yes.

>>16239227

Who cares? You'll absolutely shit on any faggot with a controller, the sniper rifle is so easy to use in all games it'll be a social disaster and make your heart beat faster.

>>16239036

>They should just drop it

Drop means cancel, abandon. Never say drop when you mean release. That sounds like nigger-speak.

Do you have to pay for the Xbox live account or will it just use your old one?

>>16239284

I can't wait to be called a hacker by console users.

>>16239306

Only console Xbox Live requires payment, it's a free service on PC

sangheili pussy

>>16239236

>faggots on xbawks get auto aim/aim assist

>some fags on PC figure out how to get the aim assist with KB+M

Just like eljewrito!

Huh, so I'll actually get to play Halo 3 on a PC in my life time. I might actually buy that shit after all of the games come out

so ODST and Reach are stories of ordinary soldiers of halo universe and thus the best Halo games?

>>16239329

oh shit, well this might be the first bit of money I've given microsoft since the 360.

>>16239395

>Reach

no you're a Spartan IV in that one

>>16239395

ODST still makes you feel like a Spartan so it's mediocre, Reach at least features a Spartan, but the game is extremely limited by it's hardware and influence from worse games so it suffers in terms of game design.

>>16239413

>Spartan IV

that's from halo 4

>>16239419

oh fug, I thought the 3s were the suicide spartans

You know, I played the Hola as a kid and never liked it, what's the deal?

>>16239423

Suicide Spartans?

are you talking about the Spartan II's process where they took the kids and gave them super dangerous medicine/surgery where it was only a 30% survival rate?

>>16239020

This was it's biggest downfall on Xbone. If you've got 4 different Halo games available all at once then congratulations, you've just fractured the playerbase 4 different ways before they've fractured themselves based on playlist preference (IE: that weird part of the Halo 3 community that exclusively played SWAT)

>>16239430

Nah, the mass produced ones where they just took anyone who wanted it and drugged them up and gave them power armor.

>>16239430

nah, it might have been retconned but at one point there was a spartan line that was "mass produced" from war orphans. Cheaper and less effective than 2s and not equipped with proper power armor, but sent en masse on one way missions to blow up high end covie targets

>>16239036

>They should just drop it all at once

But anon, they did that with the Xbone version and that's what caused all the issues. I think by doing a rolling release they want to make the process as smooth as possible. They know they can't fuck up, and this is a way to mitigate it.

>>16239456

They aimed the program at people who were orphaned by the covenant, and gave them a chance at payback. And the suicide missions were convenient since there would be nobody to mourn them. Headhunters was breddy gud

>>16239738

>jewing on ammo is skill based.

excuse me what

>>16239806

Resource management is a skill.

With that said, I myself think that Halo would be better with a three weapon limit.

if i remember right originally MCC was released in broken state and IT STAYED BROKEN FOR YEARS

so its kind of good they are working to make each game work ok

>>16239473

Each one will be available for purchase individually. They revealed this. This is a very poor and hype-killing choice.

(also the mods are starting to become more corrupt here. watch out.)

>>16239203

Does that mean it's only required for the multiplayer? I'm only interested in local co-op and the campaign.

>>16239899

The story mode is fun.

>>16239890

I think that they're releasing them one at a time to focus effort. MCC on the xbone was a technical trash heap on launch. By focusing on one game at a time they can release each sooner and with fewer glitches. and milk a bit more money

Imagine that your at a restuarant with your family and each person gets his dish a few minutes apart rather than all at once with a few cold dishes.

only played 3 years ago when visiting a friend, so i'm mildly exited about that

even weirder that the whole thing is actually on steam and not their exclusive store

only thing i'm curious about is the price

>>16239984

that's the xbox one though, isn't it? i'm guessing once its out on steam the price might differ

although tbh 40 dollaridoos for 5 games isn't too bad, especially if the earlier ones are remastered

>>16239995

Also the steam spring sale thing happens usually in May, so it'll be a chance to get it cheap after more of the actual games come out. Of course, if you actually intend to buy the game :^)

>>16239879

It's a free account.

>>16240003

>articles

the game itself is sorta fun, but the community content is extremely fun, you cant get the same shit anywhere else like fat kid, junk dodger, etc

if you havent taken the dumpster to heaven then you should just wait it out and pirate reach

>>16239984

Careful though, the MCC might not be part of the "Play Anywhere" thing, even if you buy it on the Windows Store you might only be able to play it on the Xbox One.

>>16240069

killing floor 2 is garbage. have you ever played halo 3 mp?

>>16240074

Yeah i'm aware of that, I was just using the current price as what we can expect for when it launches on PC

>>16238969

<Requires Xbox Live

Fuck i have to shell out $60 for the shitty online again? might as well wait for the crack

>>16238969

I'll be pirating it so I can help seed, fuck paying for digital distribution.

Whatever the price point is it will be too high for a download

>>16240090

Na Paying for Gold isn't nessary

>>16240108

its been a while since I had xbox live, Im assuming they made a free level subscription

Shame there will be no actual custom maps like custom edition

>no maps that swap spartan bipeds with brutes

>no chance for a sweet covie civil war themed map based on delta halo's environment

>just mediocre forge maps

>>16240120

Yeah it's just making a Microsoft Account pretty much.

Now that's a new one.

Are you serious? He explained the usage of sage to you in a very correct manner.

>>16240431

You are allowed to sage if you don't want to bump a thread, even if it is a rather wasted effort for a (you)maker such as Halo, especially on the front page.

>>16240586

Weird huh? Its like tastes can vary

>>16240660

Might be cuckchan run off

>>16239899

Because despite all the memeing faggotry about it, it's objectively more feature heavy than any FPS released these days. Honestly the only game type I don't think you could recreate in it is hostages from Counterstrike. Otherwise I can't think of anything.

Technically speaking there was a modded game mode for reach that stuck you in forgeworld with no weapon one life and random spawns on a big fucking map, so, they don't even have to waste time on a battle royal mode, just include unequipped as a game mode option and you're done

Hell people even managed to rig Evade in reach to go fucking ballistic when you use it and make a sonic the hedgehog type game where you try to reach the goal the fastest using physics and slopes.

>>16240756

Boy oh boy you couldn't be further off base. We came here to be free of retards with cherry picked censorship on memes and discussion, but now a days post one white monster meme and watch the real parody start as your offended sensibilities screech. Does it hit too close to home?

>mustards will finally experience the maximum comfort of exploring new mombasa while listening to neon night.

Now you will understand. You will finally understand why we never shut up about ODST.

>>16239899

i want to have play with anons and have fun

>>16240781

I only played though that game once years ago, and I still remember it being atmospheric as fuck.

Looking forward to playing it again.

>>16240781

But I'm a mustard and already played the game.

>>16240811

Then play it again motherfucker.

>>16240811

You heard >>16240824 mister dubsman, go fucking play it again.

>>16240831

>Buy

>When I can get it for free

lm@oing at your life right now.

>>16240824

After I finish Blood 2, and read that forerunner book.

>>16240831

Well bright side is if the ports end up being shit, people won't blow the full amount of money before they have time to regret it, and also people don't have to be forced to buy Halo 4 and have it as a stain on their collection.

>>16240853

Except they'll probably charge $30 for every single game instead of $60 for all of them.

>>16240831

at least I don't have to buy 1,2 and 4

>>16240864

all of these games are years old the fucking collection itself one xbone goes for $30 when its not even on sale.

they are about to pull some bull shit on this one making each game $30 , paying $120 for these old ass games.

>>16240864

>Reach

>>16240884

they are going to be $20 to $30 each. you can already see the shills trying to downplay it whenever someone brings it up.

>>16240902

it's not a fucking collection if you have to pay for each fucking game.

I wasn't even going to play 4

Niggers

will halo2, 3 and reach come with the DLC?

>Requires third party account: Xbox Live

The fuck?

>>16240946

They come with everything that ever came with it. To the butthurt of the flaming helmetfags.

>>16240909

I don't know about the other games, but when you download ODST on the BONE it only costs $5

The soundtracks to these games were released years ago, there is no reason to go back and replay this, xbots.

>>16240986

Marathon is not better than halo, it is held back by age. Both have room for improvement.

>>16241058

Always irked me the odst moved quicker and could use the turret mobile. Maybe mods to makeodst more "real"

>>16241048

> it is held back by age.

Play Marathon's multiplayer with some friends some time, Bungie always concentrated on multiplayer over single player from this game onwards.

>>16241115

thanks for the reccomendation

>>16241124

The difference there is that Gears of War Remastered is an Xbone game and it's easier to get away with that when it's only the one game, but Halo CE anniversary was a 360 game.

They would have been able to get away with selling Halo 2 anniversary on it's own, but they didn't and it came with the collection.

expecting it to be overpriced is just being unrealistically pessimistic.

>>16240598

you're right, normalfags' tastes vary in that they always have shit taste, like thinking Halo CE or Halo 3 were good games.

>>16241182

Halo is alright, its not as good as STALKER, but its got some nice ideas

>>16241124

Is "Ultimate Edition" a DLC bundle version?

>>16241301

>Given how far Bungie has fallen as a company

>Bungie

>>16241177

That's for crossplay if you want to trash casuals from the xboner

>>16241303

no the remaster was called "Gears of War: Ultimate Edition "

https://gearsofwar.com/en-au/games/gears-of-war-ultimate

>>16241302

Both are categorized as fps. Technicalky STALKER has a gun limit too, unless you go full retard and are constantly encumbered with 3+ weapons, plus ammo, plus first aid and food

>>16241307

I haven't played Halo since 3.

Halo after 2 was really shit. Second, it doesn't matter, because that only gives my point more weight, because 343 directly works for Microsoft and none of that relation is good.

>>16241316

It still doesn't invalidate my point. They're going to sell Halo like gold, especially since they broke it up and are likely going to justify it as a "remaster"

The fact that you two

>>16241307

were so quick on this especially since the thread was likely made to shill anyway, the damage control is real.

Not even my dad would buy into this shit and he's a fucking casual motherfucker.

>>16241344

I'm cautiously optimistic. It seems great so far, but I'm reasonably certain that microsoft and 343 will find a way to fuck it all up like they always do. Probably when they reveal pricing details or by fucking up certain gamemodes or something. ODST doesn't include firefight on the xbone, so I hope they fix that shit before PC release. And if armor customisation or firefight on reach is missing or gimped I'll be pissed.

That said, I am pretty excited. I really liked the DLC maps for reach, but they never came up in the playlists on xbox because nobody bought them. Hopefully they'll be a more common occurrence, since everyone will have them. I'd cum buckets if they included a proper map editor for each game, like they did for Custom Edition way back when.

>>16241398

To be fair, the first two Halo games underwent rather rocky development. Even when it did ship, h2 had like 4 levels cut and a few segments (like a cut hog run along the conduit at the end of high charity).

Halo CE lost fauna due to the flood and Bungie not knowing how to mesh the two. According to a few h1 devs, there are cut halo levels. Not much is known about those, just a mention.

Ypu are right, there could have been something bigger, but it was lost to time

>>16239879

>hack when

Halo 1, 2, and 3 is already piratable and playable online without microsoft account shit. Halo 2 is called project cartogrepher and halo 3 is called eldewrito/halo online. Halo 5 is playable for free in forge mode via windows 10. The only things missing that you MIGHT pirate the HMCC are halo reach and halo ODST. Halo 4 is shit and halo 5's story is shit.

Pirate and don't buy from microscam as they will lock you into their ecosystem and not let you mod without their permission if at all. Meanwhile you can mod halo 1, 2, and 3 right now for free.

>>16240986

I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse that bungie decided to make destiny instead instead of remake the marathon games.

>>16241581

These days it's best to cherish what you have and what was made rather than what is constantly shat out these days

>>16241504

Halo > Stalker, Fear, HL2, Cryshit

>>16241633

I unironically agree with all of that except FEAR

Gotta admit though, the Believe marketing campaign was pretty good.

>>16238969

>Will the game feature cross platform multiplayer?

Why else would they mention Xbox Live. Killer Instinct needs that too for crossplay. However, FPS with crossplay between a console and PC is a weird thing, Xbox faggots assuming they even exist would whine about PC players solely because of KB+M control.

>>16241699

>complimenting multi-million dollar jewish propaganda

>>16241706

I think Xbox fags went extinct. MCC on PC is one of those "break glass in case of emergency" decisions

>>16241707

At least they payed lipservice to honoring military service and individual soldiers in a mock documentary style - even if it's all makebelieve. And the behind the scenes model making documentary shit was entertaining to watch. It WAS good - especially considering what video game marketing has become since then.

>>16241751

>>16236194

>>16241642

I agree. Even though it has slower gameplay, it is remarkably well-balanced. It also encapsulates a certain emotion with its level design, music, and art direction that I haven't felt many other games achieve. Playing through SPV3 was an absolute joy and the multiplayer in CE and Halo Online is tremendous fun.

>>16240781

how is reach according to you?

Once its release, Will there be Game nights for all halo games?

>>16241938

Depends on how easy it is to pirate and if private servers are a thing

No linux support…

>>16241940

For anons who bought them the game, will they be left out?

>>16241951

There could very well be, with WINE/Proton

>>16241964

No clue, we can only speculate. Knowing the monkeys paw, I'm going to guess that Microshit will use the games age to add tons of invasive DRM that would otherwise impact performance so the only people playing will be people who buy it.

Each game is apparently being sold separate until the collection is complete. The order is going to be Reach -> Combat Evolved -> 2 -> 3 -> ODST -> 4.

>>16241951

Getting them off the Xbox was scary for them, you think they'd dare to venture off a familiar OS?

Splash Damage is capable of making improvements to the pc version easily, they did work on Enemy Territory after all

>>16240003

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

>>16239159

Good old days when you only needed skill with the magnum, 4 ammo clips with 8 bullets and 4 granades to kill 25 noobs in a row in 3 minutes. No microtrans, no stupid kids. Also sniper duels were comfy as fuck. Space cowboys with unbreakable warthhogs riding hills in blood gulch.

why is ODST being released after 3? the drop over new mombossa in the beginning where the ship warps, is the ship the chief got on to save keys. the odsts would of dropped and helped him but it got fucked. my point being ODST takes place during halo 2

>>16242134

They're releasing Reach at the same time on both systems, then doing it in release order, although it does make more sense to do 2 -> ODST -> 3

>>16242395

Spotted the poorfag.

>>16242395

Which character out of those would you pick?

>>16242469

does this include uwp?

>>16239044

Wait, they're including Reach and ODST?

Fuckin' sold.

>>16242475

Assuming they finally get the Horizon games ported to w7, is there any reason to get Horizon 3 when 4's already out? I figure the newer iteration has the same cars plus more so why would anyone bother with 3?

>>16242623

>>16242656

>Screenshot of article instead of link to article

Any faggot can easily change text in a screenshot

>>16242655

Maybe they just mean the account although, now that you mention it, having to pay seems more plausible to me.

>>16240831

You can buy either the MCC (every game) or each game separately. How is that a bad thing?

>>16242655

You won't need to pay subscription to play with others. They said so on their forums. I don't know why it's required though, maybe there will be cross play, or maybe they're too lazy to configure the servers for something other than xbox accounts.

>>16242725

Selling them alacarte suggests that the actual all in one collection must be really fucking expensive if they're also going to the trouble of also selling games separately. They wouldn't bother with that shit if the whole MCC was just 60 bucks

>>16242469

The retards who were scaring people with retarded "Windows 7 will die" bullshit BTFO.

>>16242771

It could be that they have a target of X amount of players engaging with Xbox brands on PC before the end of the year, so they want to stagger the release to increase the amount of news-cycles they'll be featured in and get more people on board. It could also be that they want to bring some of the money forward, so rather than releasing it all at once at a much later time for a larger sum they release it drip by drip for a more prolonged period of smaller income. It's potentially possible that the release of the first few games might even be funding for the ports of the later ones. Microsoft is no doubt loving the good PR they're getting for pleasing the fans, and with the release of every game in the pack they can get back in the headlines continue to mend the relationship so they can fuck it up even harder in the future. You wouldn't get the same long term effect from a single, bigger release.

I think the most likely explanation is that they want to dip their toe in the water, so to speak. They can release them slowly to make sure there is actually a worthwhile market for the games on PC before they put in the mountain of work that porting 6 games entails.

>>16240831

I don't mind this. It definitely feels sketchy and greedy, but I'd rather just buy 1, 2, 3 for the campaigns and not have to install the rest or ever deal with them.

The biggest negative for this kind of release scheme is that it will absolutely fracture the community into multiple small die hards for each title, while the people who just want to play the damn game online with a good population will grow tired of hopping around between each game and quit.

Reach's campaign was passable. The story was fucking retarded though and the retards who took over didn't really do a good job of keeping the story together. Was the first game where it felt like they had lost the plot in the series.

Also, the multi-player was shit. Despite the fact that there are those die hard reach fans, the reality is that Halo lost its top spot because the vast majority of Halo veterans hated it. Even going so far as to label it Call of Duty: Halo Reach.

I don't think that's a fair criticism of Reach though, because it really wasn't the point where the series went full CoD (that was 4). But I can't deny that the vast majority of the maps were VERY uninspired and the new abilities felt tacked on and clunky, while the reticle bloom mechanic was ridiculously annoying. I've heard they toned it down, but last I had played it, it felt like utter shit.

Overall, Reach was a mistake, both in story and in multi-player mechanics, but it's still infinitely better than 4 & 5.

The reason I say this is because while not many played it, in the Halo CE anniversary edition, you got access to Reach multi-player and they created an anniversary matchmaking mode, with all the Reach multi-player mechanics stripped out, and it felt like a genuine old school Halo game again. So Reach pvp was still Halo, it was just overburdened with a bunch of retarded gimmicks and changes that didn't need to be made.

>>16240831

Why are you angry about this? This is good. I only wanted to buy it for 3's multiplayer and ODST's campaign and firefight mode. Now I'll get to save some money by not having to fuck around with 343 butchering 1,2 or deal with their new gay bullshit in 4

>metafagging in a vidya thread for no reason

You sound butthurt over a ban or something and want to vent.

I understand what you're trying to say, 8chan used to be a place full of memes but now you get banned for it. I'm going to tell you something you really don't want to hear.

I used 8chan way back in the 2013 days after Fred left wizardchan, I was 17 back then. I'm 23 now. When I started using 8chan I was still in high school, I still lived with my parents and I never had a job. Since then I've done four years of college, got a degree, moved out of my parents' house, got a job and now live on my own. To say I still have the same sense of humor now as I did when I was a teenager would be a lie.

When the GamerGate fiasco kicked off in 2014 I was a freshman. I would have posted the dumbest fucking memes like many anons at that time did because I thought they were funny. You know what changed? I got older.

I would reckon a good 60% of 8chan's userbase after the GG exodus was under the age of 20. We all got older, we matured, these days I just want to talk about stuff without some retarded memester coming in and shitting up the thread with whatever the new meme of the month is. When I was 17 I was that retarded memester, a lot of us were.

The userbase didn't change, the users did. People like you have become the minority on /v/. I know you probably get caught up in the feedback loop of the LOL and meta threads that shitposting is great and /v/ is shit now, that but you have to remember that those threads get 50-100 users and /v/ has over 2000. That's –at most– 5% of the whole userbase. It was the users that petitioned the mods to crank down on the shitposting in the first place, do you not remember all the 2016 meta threads? That's why the some 6 /v/ alternatives over the years never took off except for /vg/, which is actually more strict than /v/ is.

I know that sucks if you pine for the old shitposting days when you could get away with pretty much anything, I know it's easy to use the mods as a scapegoat for the overall cultural shift on 8chan, but it's better if you either adapt to how it is now or move on from 8chan. Or just go to /tv/, you can shitpost all day long if you want over there.

STALKER is very over hyped. The shooting in that game makes Halo's shooting look tight by comparison.

Hell, even Fallout 3's shooting is less autistic than STALKER.

STALKER is just about atmosphere and exploration, which it does well. The general problem is that it is dragged down by general clunkiness and instability.

The problem for me is that I find the atmosphereof STALKER not that appealing. Post Apocalyptic has been done to death, and it all just felt corny to me while I was playing it.

Never got charmed by the Slav wildlife, just felt like I was playing just another post apocalyptic game that was over hyped because, idk it's extra spooky and has campfire songs?

>>16243599

>Hell, even Fallout 3's shooting is less autistic than STALKER.

Okay, that's going too far. STALKER is full Eurojank but it's not liquid ass like FO3.

>>16243549

You are this delusional.

>>16241231

I would think it's the other way around. STALKER has a lot of nice ideas that aren't executed all that well while Halo is far less ambitious, but refined.

>>16243577

I mean no one has been banned ITT yet. :/

So I don't know what you fags are complaining about.

I don't mind if this thread goes a little off topic because I pretty much laid out everything one would need to know in the OP.

>>16243691

All the Fallout games are dull including the first 2. The lore is somewhat interesting but it's not Bethesda's lore.

I just hate post apoc in general. It's dull and stupid. The only time it's ever worked was DayZ but that was because of DayZ having a multiplayer and an autistic community that made the multiplayer fun.

>>16243709

Kenshi is post post apocalyptic and does it pretty well. It helps that it's set on an alien planet.

>>16243138

They had to balance the DMR somehow, and reticle bloom was the best way to do it, otherwise we would have had another CE magnum.

Seems correct.

Four years ago, even when the earliest signs of decay begin to set in, if you talked about Halo at any other time than Summer you got shit on by practically everyone. This thread is full of cuckchan/leddit and maybe a shill or two, though we won't see the heaviest marketing attempts until it's near release. Thankfully piracy culture is still strong, but you are witnessing the utter decline of this board.

Spartan ones: decades before the 2s and only made about 1000ish. Heavy cost for not that effective augmentations. Eventually most retired, except maybe sergeant johsnon.

Spartan twos: the classic gene perfect kids kidnapped and raised from childhood to be perfect war machines.

Spartan threes: lots of orphans and not as gene perfect teens taken to be used as for suicide operations, with suboptimal equipment.

Spartan fours: bunch of vets with not as gold augmentations but superior armor compared to old Spartans. The poster boys of the new UEG

They'll probably do the standard Early Access brand of horseshit, where if you buy it early you get it a lot cheaper at the risk of the game not fucking working properly/not getting the whole product immediately.

>The shooting in that game makes Halo's shooting look tight by comparison

Will fucking see if that so, I do wonder how good shooting is in Halo games now that we're speaking of it, but I expect something typical like in nearly all of modern FPS.

>Hell, even Fallout 3's shooting is less autistic than STALKER

And now you made me more skeptical. Either you haven't played STALKER or you have the shittiest taste when it comes to video games or perhaps it may as well be both. If anything STALKER shooting is quite satisfying and enemies don't feel too bullet sponge like in majority of modern shitty FPS, even on the hardest difficulty it's not as obvious and as terrible as it is in the those shitty games, especially Bethesda trash, although STALKER devs did implement some feature with scope shooting which increases your damage for a few secs. It feels great to headshot enemies by rifles with high accuracy even on the hardest difficulty thanks to this feature. For fuck's sake, they even implemented fire modes for weapons, how much of a turbo faggot can you be to claim that shooting is shit in STALKER, let alone say that Oblivion with guns is better? By no means STALKER is perfect, but I'd say they did gun play pretty well, those games are among my favorite when it comes to gun play.

I sincerely hate bullet sponge enemies and how those lazy devs love to use this shit for artificial difficulty increase. The only thing it does is ruining gun play and it's one of the worst things which happened to this genre. It's so bad I just loved Deus Ex and System Shock gun play in comparison.

>>16245085

Fuck, I just realized that you said "autistic", though the point still stands, especially if it was said as a bad thing or something.

>>16245080

>>16245187

Yeah but its fucking annoying to get to work. Plus the sequel is the definitive version. I would also hope that the online features would be usable in a PC port of TiP.

Seriously though if they cock up armor customization again I will bust an artery. Especially with how fucking important armor customization was to reach

>TFW No game about the Arbiter back when he was a ship master and about his many battles

>>16246672

Arbiter is cooler than the chef tbh

>>16246765

I mean, I really wouldn't care too much if they did something lame like slap a lambda on something or put a crowbar on the leg equips, I'm more talking, having real armor customization which was a huge thing in 3 and moreso in reach. In MCC you can't really customize armor outside of picking presets which is fucking lame

>>16246765

Doesn't work. Halo, up until reach had a fily system in which new armor could NOT be added without a recompile of EVERY map in existence. In Halo, when a map is compiled, a list of objects (vehicles, weapons, bipeds, etc) are called tags. These tags are built into the map file and outside globals you will sometimes find things in one map and not in another.

>>16246860

*file

>it's not Hello Master Chef collection

>>16246950

zombies sucks in reach because there's no movable objects like barriers/crates like there was in halo 3 (old nazi zombie modes) and if you play limited lives, if the humans win, the game locks and you have to manually quit out to menu. i played 1500 games of zombie mode in halo 3 and the experience is one of the best in any fps with the right foundry map and gamemode. you don't get anything like that ever again post the mythic map packs because of how limited your interaction is with the maps. this follows into reach where nothing is a movable physics object at all anymore.

>>16247013

There's tons of movable physics objects in reach though?

>>16247035

maybe check again? i dont think there were any placeable physics objects, at least on maps worth building (i particularly remember forge world had zero movable objects, maybe it was for performance).

>>16246860

Up until Reach - and Reach is the first game launching, so it would still have the intended cross-promotional impact if that's the only game available at the time in an highly anticipated series.

>>16247056

There are, but a big part of forge world was the massive pre-fabs. I'd love to get map authoring tools. Make some neat shit or port some shit to reach

>>16247067

No, Reach had a similar file system. I don't think you understand. Halo's engine is built in a way that allows for fast map load and transition between bsp chunks in SP, the trade off is that you cannot ADD to the game in any meaningful way without forcing people to redownload EVERY base game map file which would essentially mean redownloading the entire game. Then you have to realize this breaks custom made maps via forge as they aren't accounted for in these updates (they're saved as their own mapfiles)

I'm pretty sure Halo 4 used hooks or on disc DLC. Actually I don't know if there was "DLC" armor for 4,

>>16247056

I know there was lots of objects you could phase or set as "locked" in reach, but there was still phys props. Hell I remember fusion coils and cells being in for custom game modes.

>>16247803

It's been a long time, but I think that "video" files were really more just replays that were rendered in-engine when you played them. I seem to recall Bungie had a feature where you could render them into actual videos, but I think there was money involved. I don't think it's possible to download these old files to a 360 anymore, so beyond screenshots, it's nothing more than memories.

Also looked at the newspost again, and it said that Reach's Firefight will be included. Nothing about ODST's, which is a letdown, but at least there'll be something.

>>16247833

ODSTs Firefight will come out with ODSTs campaign

>>16247672

there was no armor DLC, just map packs which had HOOKS in the code for it to load them. The defiant map pack featured a new helmet from a internal build of the game that got people's hopes up, but even 343i (who were the ones working on it) admitted it wwas impossible to add new armor to the game. EVery piece of armor you see in reach and in 3 (INCLUDING recon and Bungie flames) are on the disc and locked behind a simple 1/0 switch

>>16247856

Its a shame the series' best character got killed off by a dindu but I dont consider that canon

>>16248416

Do you not remember/were not around when we play a fuck ton of El Dewrito?

>>16248759

It may be not be as effective at long range, but players' idea of making it a starting weapon is pretty absurd. It effectively makes every other non-power weapon completely redundant and grinds match pace to a halt since it's a coin toss whether it's safe to move between cover.

GFWL was the biggest reason Steam got so popular because they forced that shit in a ton of games, even physical copies

>>16238969

So, is the shooting is any good in Halo games? Always been skeptical about Halo because it's console FPS series, but I'm also getting Starship Troopers vibe just from the look of it which is why it caught my interest. Wanted to try it out, but really never cared enough to bother with fixing the first two games.

>What makes Halo's combat interesting is that allot of Enemies have energy shields, they don't take as much damage from human weapon's, but Energy weapons take down shields fast, only for Energy weapons to then not do as well once the shields are down so human weapons are better for landing the finishing blow.

Bullshit outside Legendary

>>16249710

>>16249515

>GFWL was the biggest reason Steam got so popular because they forced that shit in a ton of games, even physical copies

Steam was forced on "physical copies" too by them being nothing more than a Steam code in a box

GFWL "physical copies" and Steam codes in a box are not physical copies, a physical copy has the entire game on the disc(s) and doesn't require some scum platform like GFWL or Steam to be playable at any point. Using your logic, a prepaid iTunes card is a physical copy which it isn't, so those download codes in a box aren't physical copies either.

Steam got popular because people fell for Valve's brainwashing, the so called journalists were pushing digital distribution as hard as they could, in fact they still are, and people refused to boycott.

>>16249855

Halo on pc is awful.

>>16249710

Gearbox's port is one of the best things that company has ever produced, and they had the balls to release it with the developer kit (though to be fair it was common practice at the time among the competition), and they gave it functioning online multiplayer since that got cancelled for the console release.

Piracy is the only form of non DRM digital distribution and is the only acceptable form of digital distribution. DRM free physical copies are superior to any form of paid digital distribution.

In Heroic?

Only shotguns and explosions

Even sniper headshots aren't one hit kills if you have full shields

It's piss easy

>>16250017

Halo CE is one of the easiest games for Legendary. The only thing that comes close to bullshit is a rocket launcher flood. Otherwise the sandbox equips you for pretty much every encounter. Halo 2 legendary on the other hand is heap of bullshit sprinkled with even more bullshit. Heroic difficulty is the way to go for that one
