>Molten
They were thinking we needed more cross-map sightlines

1st for molten is fine

I see, so I guess they're not worth using in arena.

Is there a way to watch old matches? I'm curious what weapons they use most.

Now that Tidal is fixed, which gametypes do you want or think that could work for /hg/ Island?

I'd like strongholds, maybe something scripted to be like Invasion, if we could figure it out

>1st
>molten is fine

>Now that Tidal is fixed, which gametypes do you want or think that could work for /hg/ Island?
if you don't have every game type supported, you're not doing a good job

Scripted respawn zones is kinda doable as far as i know, i'll look into it.

Would stone walls scripted to disappear work for separating zones? Something like a garden wall.

>molten
>bad

spot the platfag

I was gonna say the same thing.
Might even be gold.

>cross-map lines and tiny corridors are good maps

13th for backpedaling

Even better, there's invisible walls.

Halo 6 is coming for W10 , you can quote me on this.

Just keep it at normal strongholds

>bronze
bad
>silver
ok
>gold
good
>platinum
great

anything above that plays too much arena

>he hasn't been told yet

Can you put more than 3 zones in strongholds?

take a good look everyone.

This is the face of the average /hg/ scrub and what it actually believes

>gold
>good
>platinum
>great

Platinum isn't even good, jesus fuck

>Can you put more than 3 zones in strongholds?
Perhaps, but even with 3 it could be fun enough if the ticker is high enough and we have 16 people

If you have any more than 3 Strongholds, the game crashes.

then 3 is fine

Then just keep it at 3

This area of the island is way too empty, suggestions?

face of avarage /hg/ poster is Shepard?

Small racetrack? A small obstacle course?

Gas chamber

And put a bunch of pigs around with gold spots.

>And put a bunch of pigs around with gold spots.
No. No fucking pigs. Keep the island pleasant to look at. Don't start putting random shit in it.

We could have two versions. One functional for normal modes and the other one for the dank memes.

Sports shit. Put a fucking volleyball court in there.

We could just leave the base map empty, and then anyone could build off of it.

Personally, if we're doing strongholds, I'd put some buildings around, and a larger complex could be in the empty area. Maybe a wasp landing pad on the roof. might be cool.

this, we don't want it to end up like the attempted picture day canvas
xboxdvr.com/gamer/OOX of Flames/video/18058800

What happened with that abomination?

Not sure. I can't tell by the tags who was there. Only two I recall are Sigmund and Hector.

>all I did was make a pool and the letters
>it turns into a hellscape
As expected of /hg/

>Sigmund joins the forge
>it all goes to hell
As expected of Sigmund.

>implying I made the hellscape
I'm positive that it was Trivial that could be blamed for that

>Sigmund's there
>it goes to shit
The system works!

>this, we don't want it to end up like the attempted picture day canvas
I recall rejoining the game once or twice, and having to quit immediately from the filters making me nauseous.

It's a good thing I've never forgotten a thread title

I wish people didn't mess with filters so much, it's pure headache fuel

>It's a good thing I've never forgotten a thread title
It's a good thing I don't make threads starring girls with daddy issues!

I still have that map, i can post it later today if you want.

Go for it.
Is it the one with boo-boo keys?

Nevermind i think i found it, i can't test them right to make sure they are the rigtht maps but i'll post them anyway.

I think this is the map shown in that DVR clip. Memes in the sky, bonfire, swing thingies, etc.

And this is the first map we made with log cabins, flying ships and a giant penis ejaculating whales.

>Is it the one with boo-boo keys?
I don't know what that is.

Somebody made a set of swinging keys and it distracted everybody

Oh yeah, with the soccer balls right? It's the first link

So its friday, anyone want to group up for Reach customs?

Number the thread OP you big fag

It's always fun when /hg/ does dumb stuff like that in forge.

god no.

The only thing good about Reach was the customs

Yeah, you have a group? I love Reach but have no one to play with sadly

well memed

>being this wrong

I liked invasion a lot too. Didn't want to trigger Dew.

Nope, thats why I'm asking here. Go ahead and add me if you want, I'm gonna try to get shit started later tonight
Gt: Top Corgi 208X

Dew is always triggered.

don't you have a dead friend to cry about?

but he's kind of right in that customs were the best thing about reach

I'm not posting stop talking about me, and i liked the concept of invasion.

>don't you have a dead friend to cry about?
No?

the sound in that clip reminds me of the beginning of this song youtube.com/watch?v=2nrFh_R5S8A

>maria's face
just

Just marry my shit up.
Buck's like 50 and he still doesn't have shit going on.

Yeah, it kind of just feels like he's along for the ride. They almost hinted at him having some issues of feeling separated from the rest of the soldiers at the beginning of 5, but it never went anywhere.

They really just need to retcon 5. Also drop the squad-based mechanic, because it really fucked up the story and the gameplay balancing.

What if we just made the Halo game after use Buck as the MC?
Chief gets his retirement, Locke can actually be a character without being a protagonist, and maybe have a squad of former-ODST S4's learning the ropes with Buck as their lead.
And the enemies can be Insurgents.

...

...

>And the enemies can be Insurgents.
sounds boring. reason we never fought humans, even when playing as the covenant, is that it'd just be a bunch of people, just with some different weapons. There's no variation.

That's why we needed 5 to have the first level be Chief vs ONI. We would have gotten marines, ODSTs, 4's, enemy warthogs, tanks, and mantises.
And then there's all those fucking robots from the concept art.

There's ways to make it interesting. Have them use Covvie tech, since the Covenant supplied some insurgents. Work on the a.i so it's not retarded, have them act out tactics like it's middle-eastern country. Maybe give us some zero-g fighting on a mining asteroid.

>Rookie death
>Dutch retired
>Mickey in prison
>Romeo god knows where
>Buck with a bunch of kids
>RIP IN PEACE Alpha-Nine

You forgot your spoiler this time. You gonna go for round three?

recon looks retarded

pls no bully

I'll have you know this is a bully zone.

...

you act sad, but this squad is the most pathetic squad in all of halo
a mute idiot
a skeleton woman
a sexist black man
and what remains of the cast of firefly
not to mention they never once operate as a squad in the whole game

>Number the thread OP you big fag
It's thread 181.
Who cares if the number is in the OP or not as long as we know what it is

...

>autistic guy looking for his waifu
>autistic poor man's chief
>autistic sniper
>autistic british with perfect thighs

you say that like halo 5 is a real halo game and not a retarded fanfiction that accidently got published
get real m9

>not to mention they never once operate as a squad in the whole game

>characters from the actual bungie approved canon on chief's side
>uh shit I cant think of anything to draw from them like the mary-sue osiris team
>I know I'll just call them all autistic thatll get a lot of laughs

>Sigmund tries to have a laugh at my expense
>get another drawthread request done in no time at all

notice how only like 60% of the squad is present in that scene
i know maths is hard lad but you'll get there

Don't worry i'm not taking sides here.
>token black guy leader
>feminist mary sue girl
>boring sassy black chick
>Buck's ok

How about you go ask them to make that suit out of hexagons

>so mad, you have to rely on that thing you hate

Dutch's about to tackle the chief right after that.

i thought both squads from halo 5 were ok
blue team were always boring in the books but seeing them in the game improved them a bit
chief is chief
fred was like a riker to chief's picard
kelly was british (and I'm british)
and linda had a reach accent
osiris was worse than blue team but not terrible
locke was a shit player one but was leagues better than nobbie sex (he had some semblence of character rather than none at all)
tanaka is the first black woman i've ever seen as a playable character in a video game so thats something
vale liked elites so she's better than palmer already
buck is that guy from firefly

I don't particularly like either squad but i don't hate them

>Dare's not part of the squad
>Rookie is off pulling a Leon Kennedy
That was the "whole squad" yesterday morning. But it is depressing that we get a squad-based Halo game, and it's not Alpha 9. I need some SWAT 4, but with ODSTs.

>tanaka is the first black woman i've ever seen as a playable character in a video game so thats something
You must see many videogames.

aye actually, i'll give you that, my mistake
but i am right in saying that theres never a point in the game where the entire squad fight together on the ground as one unit

but then again, if you think about it, that never actually happens in reach either

sorry i meant to say FPS

...

...

At the end of ODST, Buck, Rookie and Dare are fighting in the ground with Mickey, Romeo and Dutch providing cover from a phantom.
In the first mission of Reach, Carter, Jun, Emile, Jorge and Six cover Kat while she opens the door.

I don't know if these moments count but you do see both full squads on-screen.
