/hg/ - Halo General

Fuck that map and its mother.

Let me fix that for you, numberfag.

All the part of the map highlighted in red = pointless and never utilized

>All the part of the map highlighted in red = pointless and never utilized
t. bad player

It's a fun map, Guardian is probably one of my favourite maps in 3

>It's a fun map

Picture day is still going to happen, but with actual leadership and clear ofganization.
Probably in a week or so.

In the mean time, how's the profile photo mash up for 200 going? Almost done hopefully???

It's just a fact.
I'm sorry if that triggers you too much, but the overwhelming majority of the action happens on the top floor.

The rest of the map is pointless.
Here's the official heat map from bungie.net

Holy shit it's not even close.

>I'm sorry if that triggers you too much, but the overwhelming majority of the action happens on the top floor.
And? That doesn't mean the map plays the same if you remove the lower floors.

>gets called a bad player
>comes back and BTFO with facts

Just a suggestion, but to make it easier maybe we can group up hg members with those they play with a bunch? It would allow for smaller groups to form and take a picture while getting all the active members in a picture bit by bit without trying to get a huge group of people to participate.

This sounds ripe for drama.

Then we might as well cut the picture in half and remove those who refuse to play, like Lemmings and Pizza.

I'm not saying we cut people off. I'm just suggesting we group people who play together often to take a picture so we can get group shots easier and then add them all together or something instead of trying to pick out a time and getting a bunch of members to try and take a picture.

This was the original plan.
To do smaller pics and Phase them together.

>map doesn't account for multiple floors of action, just a top down flat layout
user, you're being retarded. There's no evidence to support that none of that red is coming from the lower level.

>red exactly matches dimensions of upper floor
Probably a coincidence.

I've noticed something.
This is the third time a Halo 3 map has been featured.

Why do almost all halo 3 maps have so little aesthetic variation from one another. It's all either burnt savanah grass, chrome structures, or burnt savanah grass with chrome structures.

Go ahead and veto snowbound all you want, but it's at least one of the only launch maps that looks at all noticable different.

anyone have experience with solo LASO runs? I've started watching these videos and now I'm intrigued:

youtube.com/watch?v=nDX-AsSfdos

They wanted the maps to match the aesthetics of the campaigns most likely.

Unfortunately, 80% of the game takes place in either the deserts of Africa or the deserts of the Ark.

I love Snowbound because I finally 100%ed Halo 3 on it with the overkill achievement...

then they released the perfection achievement.

Halo 2 was just as bad though, if not worse.

For H2 solo is recommended because of the iron skull. For H2 you're going to rely mostly on speedrunning for the most part as the modifiers rape you every time along with H2 legendary being the hardest in the series.

Almost done

I've slazo'd every campaign except Guardians (because I really don't give a shit about the Guardians campaign) and I can tell you some solid advice.

Yes, watch videos, pay attention, and take tips from them, but DO NOT attempt to mirror exactly what happens in the videos. Things will not work the same in your run-through and it will leave you very frusterated.
The better way to train is to continuously run through individual levels on legendary until you have the enemy positions and level map down to a T. Then start putting individual skulls on. That's what worked for me.
Yes, it's time consumibg, but the noticable improvement you will see yourself making will be satisfying enough to justify it.

The hardest thing about LASO is the intimidation factor of it. Anybody can do it and once they beat their first LASO mission, the majority of the denial leaves.

Its.... beautiful

Looks cool

Still way more variety than halo 5.

For instance the UNSC structures in each map all look distinct from each other. In 5 they're all just white walls with some colored stripes and Lethbridge industrial logos

Thanks user, I was hesitant but now I fully intend to do it.

>tfw on bottom row and not stuck somewhere in the middle

Oh make no mistake I definitely agree.
I think 3 has the least variety in map aesthetic (the DLC maps helped a bit) of the Bungie games, but if we're talking about the whole franchise then yeah, every map in 5 looks exactly the fucking same. And it doesn't help 5's case that there's remixes all over the place.

You can do it man!
Go for gold!

Exactly. Would it kill them to do medium sized maps with some actual natural terrain and maybe a mongoose or ghost. Or maybe just more maps that aren't plain boring white and made of entirely 90° angles.

What happened here?

Please.

A spartan firing a rocket while jumping? Nothing unusual.

Eh, Halo 2 definitely has an over abundance of Earth City-ish maps, but they're still pretty well balanced out with various types of forerunner, covie, and even flood-inspired maps.
Plus, pretty much every mission in the game, including cut missions, are represented with at least one multiplayer map.

Does it make an even grid?

I just miss the staple Maps in Halo.

Here hoping Halo 6 will be the "Halo 3", much like how Halo 5 was the "Halo 2" of 343's Series.

Chiron TL-34 was and always will be my favorite map. A total blast for split-screen slayer.

>clambering on natural terrain
no thx

We should've all gone for the Nazi motif

Who voice acted Warden Eternal? He was probably one of the better things to come out of 5.

>snipers is back

97 players in company + 2 more from the thread. There still 5 spots if people want to be included, i guess i'll could put them in the top left and right corners.

Maybe for thread # 300.

Just a suggestion; how about having GTs in that little bar below each picture? Probably not a good one since some people may have a GT that's pretty long.

That's exactly what that bar is for.

You can always add old anons or people removed for inactivity if you absolutely need to use up space, yield the ghost, KoolAidBeans tito the scrub, dubya. MachinimistLuke etc

>split-screen slayer
the fuck are you going on about

ITunes has both volume 1 and 2

Even Red's Spartan looks like he's depressed

I don't mind adding those guys, problem is i don't have them as friends so i can't take a screenshot of their armor. I would really appreciate if you or someone else could do it.

Warden eternal is trash

Doesnt look forerunner at all, looks like a bionicle mixed with a Micheal bay transformer

Works fine in forge and warzone maps

Enjoy your boxes I guess

I meant the voice. I like the voice actor.
I could care less about the aesthetics in a stupid ass retarded fucking videogam

Confirmed.
iTunes has both volumes of the Halo 2 OST.
Vol. 1 is select tracks as originally recorded without being modified for gameplay presented in a more traditional album format, including vocal tracks from guest bands promoting the game like Incubus, Steve Vai, Hoobastank, and of course Breaking Benjamin.

Vol. 2 is set up to be more of a true soundtrack and follows the progression of the campaign with lengthy "suites" of music.

Both of them are excellent.

There's a /v/ google doc somewhere that has a fuck-ton of OSTs

I have Vol2 and I'm not paying for 1 again.

What the fuck does this have to do with Halo 2?

youtu.be/gWkCJ-9g0NM

I can't get over how much they look like Bionicles.
If I was LEGO, I'd try to sue.

Thanks picture user

...

...

Promethean plamo when?

Yo, I'm PC Master Race now.

Anybody wanna play Tabletop Simulator?

Don't forget that the top floor doesn't have those extensions in the middle, clearly showing that people died on the very bottom floor in the hallways around the flamethrower.

I like how the logo from each game accurately represents the visual aesthetic of its game.

CE is all about the ring, which is fitting because that's where the whole game takes place.

2 is super shiny and prestigious, self-advertising itself as the new and improved Halo sequel you have been waiting for.

3 has a rustic look to it, like it's got a mystical quality to it that says the fight is about to be finished.

And 4's logo... well, just look at it.

>blue soldiers in 5
This just reinforces the disappointment that was Warzone's reveal. Stuff like red hunters made it look like it'd be 12 red and 12 blues moving with waves of their friendly AI to take on the other team.

3 > 4 > 2 > CE
Also HEXAGONS

...

>much like how Halo 5 was the "Halo 2" of 343's Series.

?

>3's logo that high
It literally looks like it's rusting

>12 red and 12 blues moving with waves of their friendly AI
No one ever thought that besides you.

Did you see the warzone reveal trailer? That's all that Halo threads were talking about for a few days.

>Here hoping Halo 6 will be the "Halo 3"
Why would you want Halo 6 to be worse than Halo 4 and 5?

More like someone smeared shit all over something perfect and called it a day
Oh wait

>CE
Simple and sweet. I like it.
>2
Very shiny and iconic. The best one.
>3
Scratched up and worn. Perhaps to represent chief or his armor. Pretty good if that's the idea.
>4
FUCKING HEXAGONS

>CE
Best one, aged well.
>2
Too shiny and over designed. Looked okay but hasn't aged well.
>3
Alright mix between CE and 2 aged fine.
>4
Awful.

Don't worry, Halo 6 will not involve the Forerunner or guardians at all. It will simply be a prequel with nothing but classic covie and flood enemies.

Actually Halo 6 campaign will primarily be set on forerunner factory planet where soldier units are created. Soldiers and soldier variants will be the main enemy.

>Halo 4
>Hexagons

Oh boy

I'd be more worried about 4 not being bottom, its an abomination

Yeah i saw the trailer and i also saw the gameplay 2 hours after the reveal.

>don't have access to xbox
>know somebody took a picture of me yesterday
>it's just not in there
>won't be back until next friday/saturday
Well shit.

If you're Rok or Eto then don't worry, you're in the updated pic.

>If you're Rok or Eto
Well, I'm not.

I just realized they completely removed the ring around the number, they both look nice though

Reddit is alright sometimes

Then post your GT and i'll check what happened with you.
