>that OP image

>/hg/ worships hexagons now
Love It

I'm thinking about making an edit to /hg/ Island, with multiple weapons placed in the map in case someone wants to pose with a specific weapon. Also i'll try to place reference points or something like that to place camera in the right place for multiple shots, like a rail with markings i guess.
I don't know how to edit images so i guess that's the least i can do to help and it would be nice if someone else could edit me in the photo later on.

There will for sure be people that can't make it, myself included, so we will host another photo shoot to put the two together or something

Can you post a link to download hg island?

All loaded up for a halo marathon.
Two Arizona green teas, a bag of lays brand chips, a large slurpee, a strawberry nesquik, and a frozen pizza.
Let's do this boyos.

Right on time.

I get you don't want to use the same maps over, but there's still so many better maps you could use in the pic from each game.

Holy diabetes, but that sounds pretty comfy. Wish I could join tonight

>yfw you realize #200 will be a Reach map

Basically there's hexagons all throughout the Halo series, and they've become even more noticable after 343 got the reigns.
Apparently this triggers some people.

We've gotta make an area for people to stand on as well. I was thinking something extremely simple, just a few blocks on different heights and different colors

>user complains about hexagons everywhere in halo 4-5
>another user points out Hexagons were also in Reach
>"no but that's bullshit, only covies had HEXagons"

It was mostly one guy, which means it easy probably you, but either way you're still right.
They've always been there.

Yesterday it was me but i remember this meme was started months ago by another user.

>not gonna be here for like two weeks starting Thursday
>can't be here Saturday
Can anyone wear Mark VI Regent helmet, Centurion (Fred's) armor, Aurora visor, Salt primary, and Persian secondary with Azure Dream skin?

>Eden when the sun is out
Eden and Empire play completely differently

We will take care of it

Pathogenicity
Not harryhorsecocm

The artstyle pre and post 343.
Hexagons used to be exclusive to Covenant, and some Forerunner which Covenant tech was made from, stuff. But when 343 took over, it was shoved into literally everything, even the 343 logo when you boot up the game.
Some people go "b-but the bubble shield had it in 3" and forget that the bubble shield was brute tech, and other whine that "human shields had them" when they forget that human shields were stolen covenant tech.

Autism

Literally nobody cares.

Is the opening cutscenes to halo 2 some of the best in video games? Straight kino

>them parallel viewpoints between chief and arbiter
>great writing
>foreshadowing

>Eden and Empire play completely differently
Objectively false. The rocket is even almost in the same place.

Except that he asked for the answer and got it.

>"Historically, the ‘dissipative’-style deployable shield system of the bubble shield is Forerunner in origin. Warrior-Servants utilized such a system to generate temporary fortifications using a sphere of interlocking hexagonal force enfolder elements, similar to those used by Sentinels and Protectors. The technology was eventually discovered by ONI in the twenty-sixth century and was repurposed for use by the UNSC Armed Forces in the Human-Covenant War."

Ok

...

So, exactly what I said? Covenant tech based off of Forerunner tech, then stolen by humans?

Bubble shield is human tech used by Brutes.
Brutes are known to use human technology. Such as the shotgun Brutes in Halo 2 and the Banished in Halo Wars.

I disagree, m8, I thought the Forerunner trilogy did an excellent job characterizing the Forerunners as well as both introducing the Precursors and revitalizing the Flood as an entity to be utterly feared.

I don't see anything wrong with providing explanations or expanding upon elements as long as it's done well. Someone playing through the games in order will still feel the same awe and fear toward the Forerunners and Flood.

Halo 2 is not even in my top 3 of favorite Halo campaigns but yeah i agree, it's plot and narrative can't be compared with any other game in the series. I still can't believe they dropped the ball so hard in 3.

More like both Humans and the Covenant found the Forerunner tech and inherited the mantle of the hexagons.

...

>I still can't believe they dropped the ball so hard in 3.

This triggers the /hg/

Wrong, brute tech is made with pure brute engineering.

>This triggers the /hg/
Nope. 3 is so anti Halo 3 babby that they're actually a bit too 343 appologist.

Don't get me wrong, i was talking in terms of story/plot. From a gameplay perspective, 3 is my second favorite campaign.

>No halo 3 or 4
Its... beautiful

Has religion gone too far?

Are you blind?

Swap 5 with Reach and it's spot on.

What was wrong with 3?

I meant 4 or 5. Sorry

>Swap 5 with Reach and it's spot on.
Yeah, no.

>5 better than Reach
Nope

I know but that's usually what triggers people, critique of the campaign.

post your GT

Gameplay-wise I'd say so. No AAs or lack of bleedthrough and whatnot, at least.

Crusty Jugglers

It's __:^)__

That applies mostly to CE fans.

Le 'to war' meme

Also the 'boss' at the end

Not realising that all halo games should end with a hog run otherwise they're shit.


Minor parts anyways. The levels were flawless in what they set out to accomplish.

>Gameplay-wise I'd say so
Not me but whatever.

I've seen both, desu

>The levels were flawless in what they set out to accomplish.
Being 10 minutes long and easy as piss on legendary?

Why are you doing this to me user? I made that beautiful comparison pic just for you and you repay me still posting your lackluster edit? YOU SHOULD BE SUCKING MY DICK FAGGOT

>Halo 3 is bad because it has a boss at the end
>good halo games should end with a warthog run

Did you even play halo 3?

...

Say, what ever happened to the Shipmaster? The white armored elite from 2/3. And why did the elite's have such a drastic armor change in between 3 and 4?

343i
After what happened to Alpha Nine and Cortana, it's best if old characterizations are left alone

Alpha Nine? And I'm not looking to have them included, but you can't just say there's a new shipmaster with 0 explanation and have the elites change their design so drastically, it makes no sense.

Dead. Hexagons.

Alpha nine is the squad of ODST

And 343 changes shit all the time for no reason. They are the biggest retards when it comes to the lore

They didn't, the Covenant remnant use a different combat harness.

>Say, what ever happened to the Shipmaster? The white armored elite from 2/3.
He's the protagonist of a recent book, i think he's alright.

>And why did the elite's have such a drastic armor change in between 3 and 4?
Real reason: change of art style
Canon reason: different faction

Anyone up for some BTB?

Fuck you

yes, my shitbox is updating so give me a minute.

Fuck you.

Fuck off

>its a chaosdroid blames his shitty headset from walmart on other people party

Stop being mean to kai

I feel like unranked breakout has made it easier to get immortals.

>droid blaming everyone else but himself

>tfw no tacticool halo spinoff game where you play as SIIs stealth squad fighting innies on outer worlds in mark IV

>Cookie so loud he keeps echoing on other people's mics
>Sigmund keeps denying it, even when quotes are made

Wranglerjk2014 for Firefight

Yeah, now shitters are more likely to play it and die every round

>tfw it's more impossible to play breakout solo
>only like three people in /hg/ are decent at breakout
>not enough for a team
>everyone else just sprints to their death, then wonders why they died instead of saying where the enemy is

>moms shutting off the internet
What's the best way to hang yourself?

It seems easier to me. I almost got two immortals in a row just now except I turbo choked in 5th round.

But sigmund echoed too. Even you did.

Just swallow the pills and kick the chair

Sigmund claims there's no echo at all.

>>only like three people in /hg/ are decent at breakout
I bet have enough for at least one decent breakout squad.

I missed this meme
