It's fucking shit. They still didn't address a lot of issues it had, including the sparrowhawk having shields and a health system of it's own independent of the player. Not to mention the "new" levels are just a30 and b30 wityh different skyboxes, the elites you get as partners in the commander mission are invincible and can't die, meaning you have them fight most of the battles. To make matters worse the new ORIGINAL CHARACTER elite has a shitty voice, it's like the people doing this didn't bothering finagling with audio software to pitch it down and instead had a 14 year old do their best deep gruff voice and still fail. The icing on the shit cake is the "cutscenes" they force you into which themselves are fucking horribly animated, I had to physically look away in the last cutscene when the cheiftan talks because there was almost no animation, jsut the mouth moving to the voice, no little flair that even Bungie put in with say the opening cinematic for a10 or when you're on the bridge with keyes. Then the process continues with the elites.
Said cutscenes are also unskippable. I remember when SPv3 first came out, they gave the ghost boost and almost immediately pushed out a "patch" that removed it because people were sequence breaking

No, that's another gripe of mine, they claim they didn't want shit like the spiker in because "too same" yet have the impaler, the bruter needler and the needler which are all just needler variants. The carbine is boring too, while the heat build up is nice. It's just another plasma weapon with a battery, meaning you have to chuck it once it's dead or haul it around waiting for a battery charging station to pop up. The DMR is outright useless, even in it's intended role and ranges.

Maybe it's just preference, but I vastly prefer the DMR to the BR so I don't consider it useless at all.
still SPv3 is my first time hearing about this mod, so i'm sure you have a better handle on what it's problems are. I just see it as nothing more then shoving in as much shit as possible into Halo 1 so i'm not going to bother with being all that critical.

SPv3 more or less only happened because of the leak of v2 which at the time wasn't working off open sauce or anything and most of the original talent behind CMT is long gone, I think Arteen and Dsali still are, some good people from the modding community too, but a lot of it feels phoned in for v3.
We also lost the EMP grenade, gained the vortex but it wasn't much. My bigger gripe is the Grizzly is still a inaccurate piece of shit and completely replaces the scorpion instead of being either an alternative choice (more firepower at the cost of accuracy) or level specific (could have been used in Two Betyrals with the idea that it was being transported to alpha base to shore up defenses but the transport carrying it was shot down). The use of the Halo 4 shit in the banshee designs is just masterz and his "343 is good" bullshit, I still remember in the older builds of TSC:E there was a "Halo 5 sucks" easter egg, which masterz had removed because he didn't want to anger 343i.
>>16702777
>Bloom disabled
Only if they impliment travel time for bullets and that is probably either something they hard coded into the engine, or the more likely thing, knowing Halo's engine, is that the world units traveled is set to 0 in their tags for instant travel. I'm more inclined to believe this simply because Plasma weapons in reach still have a travel time.

Go look what happened to H2V's editing kit, it was lobotimized and a lot of features removed, now go look at Custom Edition's HEK, which gives users the ability to not only make MP maps, but to make single player maps, script encounters. The tools givewn for HCE were basically the very same ones Bungie used to populate and compile the maps. We won't get Sapien, Guerilla or tool.exe in the same capacity and might even get it at a more gimped than H2V's with microsoft at the ehlm
>Modded maps

No halo game with a mouse and keyboard could be said to have good multiplayer. It's a slowed down arena shooter. All the fags thinking they're gonna play the multi and actually enjoy it on pc are frankly fucking idiots - the game is a joke, in terms of pvp. The campaign is pretty good, though.

And those "people" are subhuman garbage. Halo TDM is a molasses-slow, skill-less abortion of a game compared to a real shooter. It was made for a controller. I'm not saying these people don't exist and won't find matches, I'm saying they're barely sentient, just above slime mold. If you like the basic gamemodes, and not actually unique shit like rocket race or the other ridiculous custom games, then you're demonstrably literal refuse, and deserve to be taken to a landfill and left there with the rest of the trash.

I played SPv2 when it came out last year (or two years ago?). There are TOO many weapons. More weapons do not = good. Most of them are just variants or gimmicky crap. The first game gave you like 7 weapons because they each felt unique and had their own role (except the AR which was outright garbage that they fixed in H3). Having 20 fucking weapons make them all feel bland and irrelevant.
I wouldn't bother with SPv3 if it's anything like the previous one.

>skill-less

The core of Halo is very simple by design and draws insiration from arena shooters. That's completely true. Fully mastering movement, shooting, and resource management, such as vehicles and powerweapon spawns makes Halo interesting after the first few minutes. The slow, deliberate pace and high time to kill combined with accurate hitscan weapons and a few powerful or situationally useful projectiles are what make it distinct from older arena shooters. It has elements of arcade shooters and military shooters but becomes something distinct from other franchises, except for Halo 5 which is a generic modern FPS.
>>16702861
I've played through half of SPV3. At some point I was signed out and I can't be bothered to recover my password.
Some of the custom weapons might deserve a place in an official game if tweaked slightly, but most are just reskins with editted values. Brute plasma rifles have no reason to exist, but the shredder might be a nice addition if it were made a bit more distinct from the needler. What makes Halo unique is its simple mechanics which combine into a complex gameplay loop. Too many guns which aren't distinct from one another are unnecessary annd dilute the pool and that's the ultimate problem with SPv's weapon design.
The level design in SVP3 is a mixed bag. All of the very memorable segements in the vanilla game were mostly untouched and the modded areas are all interesting ideas, but some of them seem like failed experiments. I would cite examples, but there's a decent chance that no one else here would know which sections I'm referencing. Also, my rockets would go through the floor on some occasions.
>Halo CE AR was garbage
>Halo 3 AR was fixed
I'm fairly certain that the CE AR is superior to the 3 AR in nearly every way, the exception being the accuracy of short bursts.

The only reason
the ONLY reason
it is slow as FUCK
Is to compensate for controllers. That is it. There's nothing distinct about it, arena shooters also have high time to kill and hitscan weapons like railguns, map and resource control, and in some, vehicles. The movement is faster to compensate for how much better you can aim with a mouse. Playing halo on PC changes the game completely, because at those slow as fuck speeds every decent player is laser accurate. The skill ceiling is ankle height because of this. The thing that makes halo's multiplayer desirable even on a pc is the incredible wealth of custom game types and maps. If you play halo for basic deathmatch, you have down's syndrome.
There, I dragged it out for you. All that needed to be said is that it is fucking slow. Any halfway intelligent person can extrapolate ALL of the above from the fact that it is slow as fuck. In fact, you can actually make the later games like 3 fun for a PC player in custom games, because you can set movement speed to be much higher and make custom games. But the base slayer matchmaking experience for someone playing with MKB will be so utterly devoid of value that the fact that people here are excited for THAT aspect of it disgusts me.

That's because like most games he talks about, Bob has never actually played Halo.
It's painfully obvious from how he thinks the Covenant is "diverse" without knowing it's a caste-based government where most species were involuntarily made to fight and are treated fucking horribly. They use the Unggoy as worthless canon fodder.

What's the difference between Rangers and Green Berets or Recon and MARSOC or Navy Seals. Special Operations are completely different from lightweight reconaissance forces or airborne insertion crews. Spartans, in this case, were a Special Operations force that was used for a multitude of covert and unconventional (and asymmetric) warfare missions. For example, Spartan-IIIs on Reach were used to put down human insurgencies (unconventional and asymmetric warfare). ODST are Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. They are an elite advance soldier who are utilized in conventional warfare and obey the command of their military.

>Guardian Forest - What eventually became the multiplayer map "Guardian" was original a campaign level set in the same environment. Here’s a couple more details about it. The level was supposed to come after "The Ark" – Bungie didn’t like the idea of you taking down the Covenant in two levels – and it was going to be like "New Alexandria" from Reach. You had to go to three areas and activate a Forerunner device in each of them. When all three devices were primed, they’d release Forerunner sentinels (the ones that lined up like a train from Halo 2 and Halo 4) that acted as the Ark’s defense system. These sentinels were going to destroy the remainder of Truth’s fleet in space. Remember what the Elite said at the beginning of "The Ark"? “Brute ships, staggered line. Shipmaster, they outnumber us three to one." Truth had a lot of ships.

Cortana - Yes, the folks at Bungie knew they were shipping a bad mission here. One reason it turned out badly was because there wasn’t a specific level designer for it, and one of the reasons for that was because “Cortana” was originally going to be the second half of "Floodgate." Can’t remember exactly why, but because of time constraints and other things, what became "Cortana got separated and made into its own level.
>One of [Dan Miller's] ideas to allow players to navigate the level easier was to have footprints of Cortana on the ground pointing you where to go. As to how that would be possible, he likened that to how you saw Cortana at the end of The Covenant.
>The level in which you rescued Cortana was going to be more like the High Charity levels in Halo 2, Here’s what was originally planned. You were supposed, or rather the idea was that you were going, to fight the Gravemind, but not in a way you might think. You were going to retrieve Cortana, then a little after that you two were going to come across an abandoned Scarab with its hind legs ripped off. Seeing no other options, you board the Scarab and insert Cortana so she could pilot it. After that, the Gravemind was going to appear, and Cortana was going to duke it out with him in the damaged Scarab while you were on board. You were going to help out by killing any Flood forms that made their way onto the Scarab, and shoot off any of Gravemind’s tentacles that tried to latch on.
Another paragraph from the same post stated:
>You bet your ass-teroids! A troop-transport ‘hog with a full complement of marines, each armed with a fuel-rod gun, was internally called a “death blossom," a reference to the movie The Last Starfighter.

FUCKING SLOWER
Seriously it's retarded, why is there so many Brutes in the mod anyway? Why the fuck is there a Brute Plasma Pistol which is literally a shotgun plasma pistol?

Halo 1 was contained and had some good and innovative mechanics, it really did feel like you were exploring this ancient ring world and finding out it's secrets while guerrila fighting the enemy.
Every sequel afterwards is mechanically and creativelly iterative, why the fuck are Warhogs and Ghosts being used on motherfucking urban warfare? Why the fuck am I teleporting all over the place? Why the fuck do these bug enemies exist when they're not fun to fight?
The first Halo was all about show, don't tell.

Halo CE and Reach are my personal favorites. Idk why everyone hated Reach so much. The campaign was solid, and the multiplayer was fun. I get that people felt it was unbalanced, but you could always play MLG, so that's was a moot point.

Because it retconned the novel, because the mechanics were inferior to the previous games, because they tried to do too much with 360 hardware and failed as there wasn't enough processing power on the system to handle the bigger groups of enemies so had to dumb down the A.I and because it tried to appeal to the CoD audience with some of it's mechanics instead of doing it's own thing.

As each gun had its place within the sandbox, it gives the player more agency in how they play the game. If you can't hoard every weapon, you need to make a strategic choice on what to carry. Combined with things like weapon placement, respawn timers, vehicles, and map design, makes Halo's gameplay unique compared to other shooters.

Nope, Spartans are supposed to be able to jump that high. Halo's gravity is close to Earth-normal (yet another little Forerunner hint), and the Pillar of Autumn especially had normal gravity.
It's called power armor for a reason. Yes it's heavy but it boosts strength, speed, and reflexes, especially if you also have an AI. There would be no fucking point to it if it was just a layer of metal and a shield generator that slowed you down, may as well just go full mech and add more weapons.

>Fall of Reach
Chief never touches the planet's surface during the actual battle. He takes out one orbital platform then leaves.
>First Strike
You have some more material here, but it's mostly just 95% of the Spartans getting obliterated with plasma fire until they escape into Halsey's shelter and use a Forerunner artifact as a hostage until Chief comes back from Halo and picks them up. I think you could maybe make 3-4 missions out of it

I guess you could have kept the "Fall of Reach" and "First Strike" plots without retconning by focusing on the Spartan Teams who were stuck on Reach during the events of Halo: CE. Then you could tie all three together into one game.

The other anon is wrong about the game being good because of high TTK combined with hitscan weapons. It probably has one of the slower TTKs of any shooter and many projectile weapons with hitscan power weapons (except the rocket launcher) - which I would argue is also fine. I'm sure once the games come to PC, there will be numerous slayer variants with increased movement and damage just like MLG settings. Maybe modders will remove all shot randomness and magnetism too.
>>16707926
It doesn't really matter whether going fast is a bug or a feature, what matters is whether the game is made better because of it. Something like that is comprable to BXR in Halo 2, or ghost jumping and dirtying weapons in Halo 3. They might not have been intended byh Bungie, but some would argue they're a core part of gameplay

Mostly for me it was the actual gameplay. Everything felt weak, the abilities were just retarded, the maps were absolutely awful, and frankly the campaign was boring. Mostly as a result of constantly having immortal teammates, I think, but, I also rather missed the usual three-way fights the other games had as a result of the flood.
It also fucked up the lore in favor of a much weaker, as far as I could tell, story.
Also, I personally rather hated the aesthetics of the armor. It no longer looked any kind of functional. Covered barely any of your body, for the most part. Pretty gay.

>I also rather missed the usual three-way fights the other games had as a result of the flood.
yeah I can agree with this, it would have been alright to have perhaps some human insurgent cell groups fight the spartans up until the covenant came along but that would have made a mess of the lore.
>Also, I personally rather hated the aesthetics of the armor. It no longer looked any kind of functional. Covered barely any of your body, for the most part. Pretty gay.
The Spartan armor during the time were pretty barebones and lacked proper armor/shielding capabilities for ability upgrades iirc.
like, Spartans III were the UNSC way to make up for the II's dying during the Human-Covenant war.

>memes or discussion starts to occur, one or more factions or races or whatever emerge as the most popular

You know, I would've liked the lightrifle and similar guns, if they didn't use generic grips and such. The front half of the design is relatively decent.
Of course, they all also felt no different from any of the other guns, unfortunately. In fact, even the covenant guns felt the same as human weapons. Pretty much everything was just the exact same all around.

In essence, they tried to make it CoD to attract the CoD kiddies.
The story was also shit, the immortal allies made combat uninteresting and overall rather easy, the look was just trash, the AI had a habbit of leaving cover at every opportunity and just dying stupidly [this was a problem in 3 as well, to be fair], weapons and such felt weak, the aibilties were all rather retarded and took far too much control from your hands leaving a rather janky feeling, and it missed the great three-way fights the other games had. Even if it was just insurgents and covenant, it'd've been far better than fighting one group only for ages.

Yeah, wasn't talking about armor. Armor didn't matter. In fact, it worked literally the same, near as I could tell, as it did in every other halo. You felt just as powerful, in terms of physical armor and agility or strength, as you did in CE. I wasn't talking the armor, I was talking the weapons. Every single weapon, regardless of what it was, felt like I was blowing bubbles at enemies.

I do like the idea of insurgents vs cov vs unsc, and I can see your criticisms for the CoD part but the allies never helped me in-game, unless you mean acting as moving targets while you flank. And reading your future post I did happen to dislike the look not the function of one particular weapon only due to the useless and rather clunky form it took, pic related. The story I've always been conflicted on, because on one hand they retconned things that didn't need to be retconned, but I enjoyed the story as it was on it's own not including the Halsey retcons etc Was the AI a limitation of hardware, iirc that was mentioned in one of the dev vids. What I liked about the abilities because now that the floodgates are unhinged and have been for nearly a decade was that one could only have one at a time, instead of 343I's idea of each person having access to ridiculous amounts of armor abilities

As much as Halo: Reach retconned TFoR, at least it could be fixed if they just made a new edition of the book to be more consistent with the dates/times, since Halsey's Journal does alot to reconcile the two. It's not as bad as say Halo 4, which had the UEG recover from the war in fucking 7 years when all of the major industrial worlds were glassed, and had the Chief's armor and Forward Unto Dawn look completely different than in Halo 3.
My major problem with 343 is that they seem to want to turn Halo into some HFY spacebattles.com masturbation material, when the point of the original Halo trilogy and the supplementary material is that humanity was getting it's fucking ass handed to it until the Chief pulled the human race's survival at the 11th hour.

At that point would it be similar to Mass Effect 1 in structure?

Well that's just retarded. They don't look old, battleworn, or any less sophisticated.
They don't function in a lesser degree either.
There's literally nothing, whatsoever, about the armor that looks like it's somehow worse than the CE armor, in terms of functionality, technology, or wear and tear.
Halo 3 had you in actually damaged and worn armor, yet it didn't somehow become smaller, and get a bunch of random tacticool things on it, because of that.

>ODST being pushed out in favor of Spartan IV
The ODSTs were already being pushed out by Spartan IIIs due to them being mass production spartans and getting more and more cost effective over time. Reach and even Halo 3 eluded to this with some flavor text included with ODST armor pieces. ODSTs were used heavily in favor of them against the Covenant because humanity was getting its shit shoved in and didn't have the time or resources to make more. Spartan IVs are the perfected version of Spartan IIIs with medical and technological advancements allowing almost anyone to safely become a spartan unlike Spartan IIs and IIIs where they had to find the genetic cream of the crop because no one else could endure the process.

I think it's still kinda neat when taken along with Reach
ODST is explicitly a noir story, with regular dudes fighting impossible odds that took them by surprise, all over what amounted to a small imperceptibly important macguffin, you'd expect at least the Rookie to die, and yet they all live, walking away like it was an episode of the A-Team
Reach is a story about fucking awesome supersoldiers doing basically the exact same thing but with ridiculous supersoldier feats and setpieces, and they all die
Regardless, the biggest problem with ODST's story is that it practically doesn't exist outside of the flashbacks to other characters, it needed way more work put into the open city

I'd imagine you would end up with UNSC/ONI becoming a military junta, as the post-war chaos of refugees and preventing total economic collapse would be their primary focus. Of course, while humans are struggling to maintain some form of coherent society, the Covenant tears itself apart through civil war, between fundamentalists and separatists, and of course between races like the Jackals and Grunts. While the UNSC would maintain relationships with the Arbiter's new state, things would be tense due to the intense xenophobia developed post-war.
I could also see, that instead of opting for amore expensive evolution on the SPARTAN IIs, ONI would cheap the fuck out. Instead, making successors to IIIs with much cheaper SPI armor to bring Insurrectionist world back into the fold, defend against Covenant Remnants raiding undefended colonies, or performing operations to fuel the fire between Covvie factions to keep them fighting against eachother rather than humans.

Forge is a map editor, it's sapien without a lot of the functionality. Sapien handled everything from AI and event scripting to things that might sound familiar to you such as, placement of weapons, palcement of spawns, placement of vehicles. and even then, the HEK for Custom Edition let you dictate when objects spawned (slayer, team games, CTF, etc) which wasn't a thing till like Reach IIRC.
As for "map editor", again Bungie made their maps in Maya back then, and Custom edition mappers either used 3ds max/gmax or anything else. You could probably use blender now, but you have to have plugins to export for the file types used by the engine.
While Bungie showed off a new editor for Destiny, dunno if it was ever used for reach or if post H2 they had their own map creator tool like hammer. I might be inclined to say yes if the water physics in 3 were anything to note.
>343 will give us tools

Looks like by "modding" they'll at best give you a somewhat expanded forge like ED has, but that again is just a object placer, not a real map making tool

I don't think I replied to this thread yet and I don't know everything about the 343 Halo games but from what I do know of the games I really hate what they did to the Forerunner. I think the Forerunner should have stayed a mysterious race you never get to see in the games but all what was left of them was their remaining structures and robots. I also really hate the 343 take on the structures from an artistic perspective. I liked how in the first three games the structures were highly advanced despite not looking too detailed. The 343 look is too generic looking and overdone. The power core in the pic shows perfectly what I mean.

The latest Development update for the MCC is out if anyone is interested.
https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/mcc-development-update-july-2019
Not all that much that wasn't already known before, they said previously they were hoping to have the Firefight tests in July but clearly they didn't make it in time, should happen in August at least. They're milestones are the 3 tests flights, (Singleplayer, Firefight Matchmaking, PvP Matchmaking) so it could be assumed that after the 3rd flight the release shouldn't be too far off. From what I heard the rest of the MCC shouldn't take as long as Reach since the Xbone is already based on Windows 10 so the porting over should be faster
Funny thing they say in the dev update that the Xbone isn't getting the Reach flights yet because the MCC is now stating to taking up too much memory for it to handle. and they're still trying to solve that issue.

Right I didn't realize that image was tiny so here is another. Also I would have accepted Forerunner being ancient humans that somehow lost their civilization and technologies like the guy posted earlier that supposedly was Bungie's intention for Forerunner. As for the structure designs themselves, these pics show the changes of the look over the years. I don't like the H2A look. I think that Bungie nailed the way it should look by Halo 3. Its more detailed than the previous games but not too over detailed like the 343 games. Basically its just right. Perfect even.

I agree. The apparent simplicity of forerunner architecture in the earlier games emphasized the more exotic features (like a massive structure having only small load-bearing parts) as remarkably advanced architecture and engineering. In Halo 4, everything floated, glowed and phased in and out of existence without any apparent restrictions, giving the impression that everything about it was arbitrary.

The Forerunner tech in Bungie's Halo games; well, more-so by 3 are very angular but mostly minimalist. While most the lights are blue, there is also a bit of yellow lights.
Human Tech by contrast has both angular and round edges, there is minimal light used and its typically yellow or red.
Covenant tech by contrast has lots of round edges, and is very artistic and ornate.

Well that's because of the technological limits at the time. I'm sure if Halo 1 and 2 were made today, the Forerunner structures would be more complex while still keeping those iconic shapes.

As much as I like giant robots, Halo as a series tend to trend towards exoskeletons and power armor sides of the scale rather than big stompy robots.

I've played through it several times and apart from being the best looking game on the 360 (fight me), I don't see why the story gets so much hate. first time I played through it I was assblasted that they killed Cortana, but after going through it again I really came to appreciate how they flesh out the relationship between her and Chief. Gameplay is breddy gud, armor abilities aren't borderline useless anymore, guns feel and sound terrific (although it's obvious some are better than others, forerunner pistol I remember being especially useless), overall story was good (not Halo 2 obviously but it's good enough) Spent a hell of a lot of time with the multiplayer, easily my favorite in the series (I was too young to play Halo 2 online, Halo 3 online was just me eating dirt the whole time, don't think I ever even played Reach online). Aesthetics are also super nice with the forerunner and human technology. Spartan Ops was a fucking joke though, I will concede that among others.

You clearly didn't play reach on legendary, bubble shield was a rechargeable medkit that could shield you from grenades and snipers, the jetpack let you camp in spots the elites couldn't see and armor lock was useful for disabling vehicles (bait them into ramming you, activate armor lock at the very last second, watch them explode), even sprint had its uses, the only truly useless ones were camouflage (lasts a whole 5 seconds) and the other one, not even the grunts fell for it. Meanwhile 4 has some fucking flying turret that gets shot to shit in 5 seconds flat and that dumb spartan charge thing that doesn't do enough damage to kill higher rank elites or stun hunters, so using it near them is a death sentence, shit's like trying to melee anything in gaylo 2.

It doesn't make sense until you read the books, and it retcons the entire saga (forerunners were benevolent ancient humans, that's why the chief was known as the reclaimer) so you'll end up hating it anyway.
I liked the pelican and mantis sections though, and it does look pretty for a 360 game, so i don't truly hate it, helps that i got it for free since i have a 360 with a flashed dvd drive.

Invisibility in 4 is more useful than it was in reach since you can actually sneak past enemies with it without them seeing you, Promethean Vision is good for scanning areas before you just run in buns glazing, the turret was decent enough for being a distraction for the larger enemies while you sneak around them. the sprint was useless though but you only get it towards the end of the game anyways so it's not that big a deal.
>They all feel and sound like nerf guns, not to mention the weapon sandbox and balance was utter dogshit.
in every halo before 4 all the guns sounded way too quiet and muffled, like they're being shot through a pillow. In 4 the guns actually sound like they're being shot right in front of your face so everything is a lot louder and a lot clearer. The game was balanced enough so that you can use each weapon type from each faction. it is mostly forerunner weapons but they're usually accompanied by covenant ones as well and plenty of human weapons when you're on the UNSC missions.
>there's only forerunner shit lying around (and most of it is useless, shoutouts to the weak, inaccurate SMG and the pistol/sawed off that only works point blank), so you'll be using the light rifle for the entire game
I do concede the forerunner pistol in my OP, but the SMG got me through most of the game, just need to get in close then deck them in the face
>the plasma pistol now uses 2% battery for each shot, so good luck depleting shields with it
>the DMR got nerfed, now it's a magnum with slightly more ammo
what nerf lmao
using the pistol to KO their shield then instantly switching to DMR with a headshot is not a good combo then. guess all the turboautists using that loadout online were wrong
>the SAW albeit cool is useless in legendary difficulty, the thing does shit damage and isn't headshot capable, so you will only use it for the bullet sponge knights and even then only because they teleport shortly after you break their shields, the not-M249 is the only weapon capable of downing them before they do so
SAW is damn good for mowing down groups of enemies, and you only get it at a few points in the game so it's well balanced. and if you're trying to beat legendary by getting up close and personal with everyone instead of using a sniper then that's on you
>It doesn't make sense until you read the books, and it retcons the entire saga (forerunners were benevolent ancient humans, that's why the chief was known as the reclaimer) so you'll end up hating it anyway.
isn't it explained that the forerunners are fighting against you in the beginning to stop you from releasing the Didact and then he took control of them when you released him? i'm not too much of a halo autist (only played the games and seen a couple of the films) so I could be wrong here, especially seeing how 343 has gone from kind of caring to giving absolutely zero fucks about lore or their fanbase

I don't understand why people get so fuckiing assmad about the rookie being dead. So fucking what? Are they not allowed to kill off characters? Especially one that barely had a personality and doesn't offer any unique narrative potential anyways?
Also, here's a hot fucking take, but 5 already went back to "Halo's roots" to an extent as far as the MP and the core gameplay goes: It's back to even starts, weapons on map, no loadouts, no perks, etc. The maps are as vertical as they've been since 2, and while there's new movement mechanics, most of them mesh well with halo's emphasis on movement and platforming, for the most part. Plus 2 added duel wielding and hijacking and nobody whines about how those are unhalo.
Obviously 5 visually still looks like shit, had an awful campaign, and the online only MP is unacceptable, though

<Took everything wrong with Reach and cranked to 11
Did you even play 5?
>>16702777
I somewhat I agree, I love how unique each gun in Reach is and how close the sandbox is to being balanced; except that bloom also prevents the precison weapons from being OP as fuck. The reduced and zero bloom modes in reach turn the DMR into a fucking monster, even moreso then normally, and that + mice input is just a recipe for disaster.
If you also lowered the DMR's fire rate a bit and maybe the pistol's as well in excnange for no bloom, then maybe, but even then I think you should reduce the spread on the AR as well so it's further accurate, and it really needs a damage buff as well. The Plasma repeater and arguably the needler as well.
also what >>16703149 says, reach's map design sucks.
Personally I think H2A is already really damn close to being perfect, closer then Reach for sure. It just needs to buff guns a bit more then it did: Give the pistol zoom and double it's damage so it's useful, make the Plasma pistol's normal shots actually do some damage, reduce the AR's spread so it's more unique from the SMG and can be used further out/give it a headshot bonus on shields, but reduce bodyshot damage so it's more of a precision-auto that's usful out to mid range; give the SMG a damage buff, bring back CE plasma stun and up the projectile speed and damage slightly on the plasma rifle, increase the needler fire rate, homing, and projectile speed, etc.
>>16702861
>outright garbage that they fixed in H3
you what, the 3 AR is even worse then the CE one. The CE one might not be the best at much of anything and is largerly outclassed, but that's evemn more true for the 3 AR.

>Linear
Every Halo game is linear, I don't know why retards act like 2 is particularly so. CEnostalgiatards pretend CE isn't just because it has a single mission where you choose the order of your objectives, and because it had a bunch of outdoor areas that seemed big and vast just because they were empty as shit for the sake of padding/due to technical limits.
2's outdoor spaces are just as large as CE's, they just have actual fucking shit in them to act as cover and structures which makes combat more interesting.
>shit writing
Imagine being this much of a delsuional faggot that you think the only halo game with actual character development and the amount of worldbuilding it has, not to mention one of the only ones with multiple narrative threads, perspectives,etc has shit writing.
>tons of re-used assets
Not that much moreso then 3 or especially ODST, and it has way fucking less re-used shit then CE does.
>>16707728
I don't understand people's issue with iteration: You take an existing thing and make it better. There's nothing wrong with that. And yes, 2 is a better game then 1. You whine about how CE was "show, not tell", but CE itself barely showed fucking anything. It's got a nice atmosphere, yes, but don't act like there's so much subtext and envoirmental storytelling. There's barely anything aside from 343i guilty spark and stuff here and there elsewhere. 2 might have a much more in you4r face narrative, but it's unediably better written, and the missions themselves still have way more envoirmental storytelling then CE itself did.
>why the fuck do these bug enemie exist when they're not fun to fight
The flood weren't fun to fight either.
>>16758040
CE is the worst bungie Halo game. Least amount of content, no custom game options, low enemy and weapon variety, copy pasted repeititive and tedious level design, etc.
>>16707716
A lot of the lore surronding 343i era stuff is solid, the plots in 4 and 5 just suck ass and 343i drives the plot into retarded directions for the statew of the univverse as a whole to justify having more conflict. But the lore/novels themselves have been good.
>>16707832
>>16716717
Reach doesn't have CoD mechanics, I don't know why people repeat this meme. Armor abilities are basically an evolution of 3's equipments. It breaks Halo's roots as an arena shooter by not having even starts, but it's not similar to anything in CoD, and that's all the """loadouts"" in reach were: selecting armor aiblities, your weapons/nades are the same regwardless, aside from in invasion which ironically everybody loves anyways.
>>16707867
Being able to jump that high wouldn't justify the floatyness, to be fair. Also 5 DID go further and stress the superhuman nature of MJOLNIR and SPARTANs and people hate it.
>>16708800
>Also, I personally rather hated the aesthetics of the armor. It no longer looked any kind of functional. Covered barely any of your body, for the most part. Pretty gay.
Are you retarded? Reach had the most functional armor of any Halo game. You are mixing it up with 4, I thinkl.
>>16748944
Halo isn't a sprinty jump shooty game.
>>16754167
I'd say so. It's not fantastic or anything, but all of the episodes aside from The Package are at least good.
>>16765386
>It doesn't make sense until you read the books, and it retcons the entire saga (forerunners were benevolent ancient humans, that's why the chief was known as the reclaimer) so you'll end up hating it anyway.
I think 4's writing sucks but this is just untrue. 4 goes out of it's way to explain more shit about the stuff it introduces then any other Halo game: There's a giant exposition dump cutscene in the middle of the game, the Librarian, Didact, the Composer, Prometheans, and Reqiuem itself all have their backstory explained, etc. By contrast, CE just expects you to pick shit up as you go along and never explains who are what the covenant are, who keyes or Cortana is, etc; nor does 2, 3, reach, etc for the most part.
Also it was never established the entire forerunner race was politically unified/benevolent. 343i's forerunner lore doesn't retcon anything, it just goes against people's headcanon and expectations.

While I never liked Reach all that much, I think it might be a lot better on PC when you combine jetpacks with mouselook. I am REALLY not looking forward to the DMR being a starting weapon with every fucking mode, just like the BR became for the previous two games. The weapon always raped and some maps will be completely unplayable if this happens.
Maybe Reach won't be as bad because sprint and roll and what not.
Still can't wait for Halo 3. Definitely had the best maps and antics. I think it also had the best visual aesthetic of the mainline games.

Unforantely 343i is appealing to BRfags and is making DMR starts universal in hardcore, and used 75% of the time in social playlists. It was awful, from my time in the flights.
And I doubt it will change because anydoby who complains will likely get whined out by people who will just call you a casual/badkid.

Ahh, just like the Xbox days. Maybe we can get some custom games going on here.
I wonder what kind of custom maps we'll see now that we no longer have Xbox limitations.

killing off a player character in such a lazy and anticlimactic way, in a piece of fluff most people will never experience, is pretty shitty
but the broader point is that it makes clear that 343 wants to slowly phase out ODSTs narratively and retcon their importance, which sucks. If anything, Halo ODST showed that the characters and settings are much more interesting when everyone isn't a hulking supersoldier.

Honestly I'd be fine with DMRs being in most modes, but I REALLY fucking hope people start having evade instead of sprint in game modes.
Sprint is awful and makes the issue with BR/magnum even worse since you can't really get any damage out between sprints.

I think having both sprint and evade would be a nice choice where possible. One thing for certain is that between all the added movement options in Reach, combining them with mouse aim is going to make things very interesting.
Honestly though, BR/DMR would not be a huge problem if they were just a map pickup. They should definitely be a common weapon, but not something all players should have at all times. With mouse-aim being a factor now, short/mid-range weapons like the magnum would be a great starting weapon in Reach and 3 to keep players versatile but also encouraging smart and deliberate map movement. In Reach especially, sprint and evade would let you get the fuck out of dodge if you find yourself dealing with an unfavorable encounter.

While I am going on a tangent, another important factor is how these weapons completely overshadow 90% of the other weapons. I can't speak for Reach since my memory is hazy, but in 3 there was almost never a reason to pick up another gun unless maybe it were a sniper or rocket launcher. While some of the other weapons (Spiker, Plasma Rifle) weren't particularly interesting, having to make due with certain weapons until you can grab your mainstay makes for interesting gameplay. It was also pretty interesting how plasma weapons did more shield damage while brute weapons would do added melee damage and I think the Spiker did more damage to health. Dual wield may be a little gimmicky in practice, but giving the rest of the weapons more use would be good overall and give the function of dual wield more overall practicality.

Halo 2 is the most linear of all of the games with smaller more linear maps with barely any reason to explore.
You're an absolute niggerbrain, most Halos are a sandbox with big maps and exploration, Halo 2 is a fucking corridor.

After Yathzee attracted a ton of people I remember trying to see what kind of content they also had.
I bumped into Bob, I watched two videos, pretty superficial and pretensious but sometimes funny and decent fast pacing that doesn't waste your fucking time.
Then I bumped into that, I don't even like Halo as a series and was expecting him to diss out some criticisms towards the gameplay, and then he starts talking about how the Humans are all nazis and the Covenant is diverse and good, and how Halo is all about politics.
What's sad is that 8 years later, this scum has now flooded the hobby and the internet.
Watching him become a lolcow and seeing how he looks like made me laugh pretty hard though.

Do deaths need to be climatic? War sucks, some people just get offed with no glory. The horrors of war and how unglorious it is, while not a huge theme in the Halo series, is a minor one in the books.
>ut the broader point is that it makes clear that 343 wants to slowly phase out ODSTs narratively and retcon their importance, which sucks
I mean, perhaps, but that makes sense, no? Why use ODST when you can make adults into Spartans? And yeah, you can argue narratively having S4's be a thing is lame for precisely that reason, and I agree, but that's the situation we are in. Moreover ODST's do still exist, 343i published this piece of art like a year ago, for example

>ith mouse-aim being a factor now, short/mid-range weapons like the magnum would be a great starting weapon in Reach and 3 to keep players versatile but also encouraging smart and deliberate map movement.
I agree, but I think people are worried, including 343i, that the team that picks up the DMR's is just going to stomp. I'm not sold on that, but if that WERE the case, then just replace all the DMR's on the map with needle rifles. But that won't happen because MUH HARDCORE MILITARY UNSC WEAPONS I DON'T WANT THIS GAY ALIEN SHIT

Halo 2 has big maps, again, it just fills them with shit: Look at Outskirts (which you can actually explore the roofs and shit across), Metropolis, Delta Halo, Regret, Quarantine Zone, Uprising, etc.

>Do deaths need to be climatic?
No, but they do need to be felt and be important in some way, even if they don't impact the larger plot. Even if a character has just died from tripping and falling, or getting shot by a lowly mook, the absence of that character should still ripple through others. If it doesn't, then the character either didn't contribute to the story in the first place or was poorly handled. Nihilism and good storytelling do not mix.

Sprint just doesn't work with how single and burst fire weapons are so good and have low commitment time.
With evade you can roll, jump and fire into someone without completely destroying your mobility and leaving you a sitting duck for anyone who has any number of the "accurate" weapons, and it really waters down the play.

My recommendation would be to play the first 2, which are already available on PC (go ahead and pirate, it's Microsoft), and then read the Eric Nylund books, which are some of the best military sci-fi ever written but benefit from playing the games to understand what's what.
If you want cool spaceships, play Sins of the Prophets, a SoaSE:R mod. It's seriously badass and it's combat focuses on railgun firing lines and tactical nukes.
