Welcome to Halo General. Here we discuss the Halo games, expanded universe, and fan projects. Discussion of general Xbox developments, news, and games is also allowed unless stated otherwise.
>Halo 5: Guardians has received a major weapons tuning update that radically changes up the gameplay. This update has gone into effect in all arena playlists, warzone playlists, and even custom games. For a full list of changes, see the link here: halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/weapon-tuning-update
After a lot of deliberation, I've made a decision. Halofest IV is being pushed back 13 days to Saturday, January 27th. A lot of thought was put into this decision, but just know that for multiple reasons the 14th just wasn't working well for a lot of people, myself included. I want to be clear: if it was just me I would not postpone the event, and if you want the full story for why the date was hard for me specifically I can tell you in party chat, but believe me when I say it was more than just myself that the 14th was an iffy date for. Everything else is staying the same. Show up at the time of arrival (let's say 7 PM eastern) and you will be sorted into teams, with myself and C0 leading the initial picks this time around.

That actually works better for me

Truth was already planning to leave when Tartarus went down to activate Delta Halo. Truth didn't give a shit, he'd be gone by the time the ring fired and it would kill off a lot of the Elite opposition as well as The Demon
REEEEEEEEEEEEit actually is a better day for me but stillEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Matthew Price
Now hold on one minute- are we talking January THIS year or January 2019???
Samuel Ross
Happy New Year, /hg/
Carson Evans
Well I ain't gonna be there.

Does it say anywhere in game that Earf is outside Delta Halo's range? What was he planning to do after his whole fleet gets fucked by the halo firing, fire the rest of the rings from the Ark anyway?
sorry I'm being difficult, I do like the master manipulator angle they were going for, it just seems like the only thing he's getting out of tying up all these loose ends is the absolute implosion of the Covenant and the same corner he got backed into at the end of Halo 3.
Aaron Wood
No.
Daniel Walker
That's ok. I'll still be able to make it.
Owen Edwards
For anyone not in Halofest, I'll be hosting that day, but only the semester doesn't turn to shit, if it does I'm calling everything off, including hg

>Does it say anywhere in game that Earf is outside Delta Halo's range? No but you can possibly make it work if you assume it was brought up in Truth's conversation with Guilty Spark. Truth could have simply asked if the location of Earth was close to Installation 05. >What was he planning to do after his whole fleet gets fucked by the halo firing, fire the rest of the rings from the Ark anyway? I assumed he'd already diverted the majority of his forces to Earth. As soon as High Charity was attacked by The Flood, it was lost. Truth knew The Ark/way to it was on Earth and all that mattered was getting there. The Forerunner Keyship he gets aboard can more than hold its own in a fight and so wouldn't need much support if any at all. The only troops that are left are those left on High Charity and Delta Halo. It's still quite a lot of troops but they still had a massive army.
I wouldn't say you're being difficult, they're standard questions. I think Halo 2's messy development took a toll on the story so not all the pieces fit quite well. I still think it's the best Halo story, though. But the only reason Truth ever loses is because of Master Chief

No. Delta Halo can't reach Earth but other ring can.

Yeah but I didn't beg on forums for it
Carson Ross
How come Halo 3 is ALWAYS in the choice for BTB? It's never between 2, 2A, and 4. The ultime trifecta. Fucking bullshit. Just make a Halo 3 BTB playlist with only Zanzibar, Standoff, Longshore, and Valhalla since that's all the kiddies got MCC for
Carter Peterson
Halo 3 is the most played Halo game of all.
Jack Wright
>why do the larger groups of people win a democratic vote?
Charles Foster
Having other Spartan II's being alive During the Master Chief games was a mistake. He should have been the last of his kind.
Caleb Ramirez
No I like the other Spartans
Wyatt Collins
Wish me luck /hg/, tomorrow I'm going for a job interview
Ryder Gutierrez
Fuck off with the democracy bullshit because these babbies don't respect it. They quit if they don't get Halo 3. This either causes heavily one sided games or straight up boring ones. Playing 5v2 on Infinity oh wow so fun. Or it causes a game about to start to restart searching, taking longer to gind a match or straight up just breaking it. Start punishing quitters. It's toxic. I complain about getting the same 3 fucking Halo 3 maps all the goddamn time but I still play them because I'm not a self entitled bratty cunt
Benjamin Rodriguez
Agreed. Causes a huge fuck up in terms of lore. Halo CE can work fine but the rest? Nope
Nathan Walker

Just about done.

Alexander Fisher
I guess you never read First Strike or Ghosts of Onyx?
Austin Campbell
Then make them Spartan III's. Master Chief's aura around him and his legend was so much cooler and epic when he was a special/last-of-his-kind character, having others for no reason when they could be something different is just ruining the mythos.
Pic related is for you my man
Bentley Cox
Literally retarded. I respect it by sticking around and playing you fuckwit. Unlike tge 3babbies who don't get their way and quit. Stupid 3babby. Of course you support toxic behaviour that ruins others experiences
Anthony Powell
Eat the pizza, you filthy whore.
Ryder Hall
>When he was a last of his kind character
So, only in CE where he WAS the last known of his kind? And a little longer in the brief period until first strike was released where we learned about the fate of the other Spartans?
Nathaniel Baker

Michael Wood
They're not. Halo Reach proved that

Charles Clark
You're the same as what you cry about. Get over it.
Sebastian Diaz
Bungie went out of their way to write Haley's journal which corrects the discrepancies between the novel and game. They're both canon.
>They didn't like the books True, they weren't fond of them. But they also weren't fond of Halo Wars and called it a bastardization of their game.
But, as we know, Halo wars is a beloved game (some would even say it's a classic) so it goes to show that bungie wasn't always right.

You're average as fuck, user. The bell curve centers around gold for most playlists. That's okay though. You can improve.

Liam Sanchez
I wanted so much to fight the Didact alongside the Arbiter.
I wanted to see Thel square off against someone he used to worship as a god and whoop his ass after he' dismissed as a "beast".
Instead we get some weird beta robot cuck I don't even remember who just bitches that he's getting cucked by a hooman.
Why can't 343 do anything right? Why can't they make a good Halo story when it's so fucking simple?
James Cook
You already know the answer to that.
