Third for Brutes are the most tech savvy race

Have you offered your blessing to best girl today?

Nth for Dewrito

why yes I have

Watch out, Grunts are catching up.

Not surprising that people would want to win in ranked.

ODST

There should be social playlists

Finally a Vale pic that shows skin but hides her hideous face.

Are there any more like this?

why is it impossible to find a match in the mcc?

t. just bought the mcc

Not enough people sadly.
I'm sorry for your lots.

Because it was/still is broken, so everyone abandoned it. You probably won't find a match in any playlist but the mixed bag ones. Hope you like playing Halo 3 every match.

>why is it impossible to find a match in the mcc?
I haven't had a problem finding one in a long time.

Is your NAT set to open?

If anyone ever thinks to defend the writing once 343 took over keep in mind they approved a scenario in which a non augmented woman overpowered a fully augmented male Spartan IV in Gen-II MJOLNIR armour.

All we need now is Action Sack tbhfamalam

Try restarting the game, that works for me. If it takes more than 2 minutes before "Connecting to players" shows up at least once, then something's wrong.

Yes.

Check your Internet settings.

I had to port forward my Xbone, but once I did I've been able to easily get into matches in Team Slayer, H2A Anniversary, Halo 2 Classic, and Big Team

god damn bull shit swat i fucking hate this shit it wouldnt be bad if the ranking was like reach BUT NO LETS CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT RANKING SYSTEM THE AIMING AND FUCK IT ALL UP your team sucks? sorry guess you suck by default. someone runs behind the person your aiming at you follow them but when its one guy your aiming at THEN NOPE ALL OVER THE FUCKING PLACE FUCK THIS

well memed

Not going to do your work for you

>it wouldnt be bad if the ranking was like reach

Reach had okay ranking

Anyone interested on the thread numbering, this is indeed thread #178 of the current /hg/ era following a long period of unsuccessful revival attempts.
As far as accuracy goes, I may be off by 1 thread at the most (some of the older threads were actually numbered, but some were numbered the same as others)

Pic related was the first thread in this current chain that revived /hg/, what I'm calling thread #1

Since then we have had 3 company leaders: Paul, Rabbit, and Kai (current)

reachs swat had its own ranking for its game modes im fine with the monthly shit but not when its up and down

Only if you help me finish the Halo 5 campaign/MCC campaigns on Legendary

Halo 5 certainly has an odd system, especially because you can't rank down

Not being able to rank down is an objectively terrible mechanic for any ranking system.

5 meets in the missile by not allowing you to rank down out of rank classification.
To still be mad that you can rank down at all is just retarded.

5 has the best ranking system of any Halo game so far for that reason specifically.

There was Xbox General spread out sometimes before that as well.

>There was Xbox General spread out sometimes before that as well.
Xbox General just isn't meant to be.

The only reason there's a Playstation general is specifically for discussing all the miscellaneous Weeb games the console has that can't alone Warrenton their own generals, and even then, /hg/ alone is more active.

Swats the easiest mode to carry a team in though.

Even if PS4 is nogaems xbone has even less, since it doesn't have the weeb market

>wow an /hg/ island, sounds neat
>full of stupid shit and dumb memes

hope you all die

Not being able to rank down is good?
It just leads to people accumulating at the bottom of each rank.

>Not enough people sadly.


Hang yourself. If there's more than 500 people at any time playing a game mode then there's plenty

Kai! Let's go through all of the games on legendary together! Right now! I'll get online and invite you so you better join.

What gt? Let's get a squad going.

So this is the power of the Arbiter...

Why don't you make it yourself then?

>full of stupid shit and dumb memes
That webm is from the 1st version of the island, the most recent version looks different.

>Even if PS4 is nogaems xbone has even less, since it doesn't have the weeb market
Having less bad games is a good thing

>KI isn't on sale during the "ultimate game sale"

Fuck you M$

>tfw the new Killer Instinct turned out to be fucking great

>tfw can't play this game because it's on W10

PS4 when?

>thread wasn't made early
Thank God. For a little while I was beginning to think we had a problem.

If you obsess over little things like that you do have a problem

Hmm. So this is standard Elite combat huh?

I refuse to play this game.

>Confusing as fuck controls
>""""""free""""""
>Sweaty tryhards like Johnny
>Can't attack back when getting shit on

get over yourself

>Can't attack back when getting shit on
You literally can combo breaker while getting comboed.

I'll be on in a couple of hours, whats your GT?

th0usand eye

>>Can't attack back when getting shit on
COMBO BREAKER is more than a meme user, it's an crucial mechanic in this game, there's even a tutorial specifically made for it.

spankmaster rok

I first visited /hg/ a year ago and there were fags everywhere and everyone was posting their irl pic

Has that passed? Is it safe to play with you guys now?

known kai

Sure it's safe and you can play with us any time as long as you first post a pic of your dick.

If he button mashes enough hell eventually get the hang of it

>he can't even beat Johnny

Not if you don't suck.

Fighting games is the highest skilled genre.
It's not for casualfags

>I've never heard of Super Smash Bros.

What? It's a fact that it leads to people accumulating at the bottom of each tier.

>Super smash bros
>Fighting genre

>smash bros
>a fighting game
I needed a good kek.
Thanks user.

Careful. Sigmund will burn you at the stake.

You're right user!
SSB is a real fighting game!
Just like Mario Kart is a real racing game!
The Last of us is a real game!

It's definitely not a "classic" fighting game but it does have 2 characters beating the crap out of each other on 2D environment.

>Fighting games is the highest skilled genre.

As far as becoming competent in, yes they are.
RTS is the hardest to master.
FPS is the hardest to actually good at. Taking a long break from an FPS game and your skill will plummet.

>FPS is the hardest to actually good at
Obviously I meant STAY good at

They kind of are.

youtube.com/watch?v=vXgpGBbh5r8

Also Halo

RTS

Was that supposed to be impressive?

>insist on numbering the generals
>improperly place the number

>no double-ultra
As expected of Johnny "Smash is a fighting game" Senpai.

Why do people even find RTS hard? It's most of the time the race of who clicks faster, there's really no strategy at all. Turn based ones require much more strategy

button spam proves nothing, and thats all fighting games are

memorizing combos and spamming them endlessly

>There's a proper WAY to number a thread
This autta be good

why do people even find FPS hard? It's most of the time the race of who shoots first, there's really no skill at all.

When you equate it to "clicking faster", which isn't a bad way to put it, it comes down to being a rhythm-game done with your pointer finger.
And I don't like rhythm games, so I don't care for RTS games.

It's supposed to be in the thread title, you shit. Not the body.

Absolute shitter detected.

What is wrong with Halo 3's lip synching
None of the characters mouths move in correlation with the words in cutscenes
In gameplay its not that bad, but in cutscenes its laughable

>recapture into QCF+PPP is more impressive

That's enough Sigmund.

who gives a shit

The story is retarded and the characters suck

>Johnny can't do a double-ultra
>must be Sigmund
Sigmund is on Snooze right now.

You never made it past bronze did you.

>It's supposed to be in the thread title, you shit. Not the body.

Good lord WyvernZu is amazing, is there anything this woman can't do?

reddit.com/r/halo/comments/4sccdp/wyvernzu_is_op_343plsnerf/
Sorry but i have shitty internet at work and can't upload images. It's the Silent Cartographer from CE.

>anime poster is a total retard

what else is new

That's enough Sigmund.

>his example are the three most autistic generals on Veeky Forums
>ignores how every other board does it

holy shit dude nobody fucking cares

>implying there should be generals on other boards

>says the guy who cares enough to autistically go through the archive, compile a picture in rebuttal, and then put ellipsis in the filename

/dag/+/bwg/ here.

Congrats /hg/ on attaching a number issue to your threads.
You're a REAL general like the rest of us now!

Maybe we could collab on something some time.
