Actually, they're not. I didn't like splatoon, but the campaign was ok, you didn't have to pay for cosmetics and modes didn't become harder because you didn't pay money for better guns, the free DLC wasn't made pre-launch, 4v4 is a standard for shooter games, splatoon has more maps than most Halo games, and it does have splitscreen, but one person has to use the gamepad.

Owen Wood
The first few months of content were on the disc, and just unlocked over time.
Jaxon Morales
Why hasn't 343 done IG a solid and make Fulgore armor since they included Arbiter in KI?
We need something to replace the Haysbusa now that NG is dead anyways :^)
Bentley Rogers
Is black spartan supposed to be locke? Who is headless spartan?
Wyatt Gutierrez
>first few months You mean one gun and then two halves of two different guns? That's nowhere near the same as Noctus being un-released.

>hayabusa replacement FOTUS, helioskrill, Shinobi
Bentley Sullivan
Eh, not really something important
Thomas Murphy
No, I mean all the datamined content up until September or October.
It's not a huge deal. All I'm saying is make sure you double check and make the thread properly in the future
Bentley Flores
I see you're nice and early
Mason Parker
>there are traces of things on the disc >they were not done >this is the same as Noctus
Lincoln Robinson
It's not the same though. Haysbusa and Katana was Bungie being pals to team ninja and oatmeal cookie.
Elijah Allen
>Foundation Wasn't this map originally locked behind something?
Noah Adams
>removing embeds No, user. We need to see how far it can go.
Jaxson Gomez
They were done, though. Which is why a patch wasn't necessary when any of that content was unlocked.
Wyatt Barnes
If I could figure out how to access the on-disc content I could clear this all up in no time at all, but from what I'm aware, at the very least the DLC content was pretty much ready to go out of the door at launch and drip-fed over the following months as part of the 'sustain' policy they have going on. That much I would believe to be true at least for the armour models and some of the maps.
Elijah Howard
>They were done, though. They were not. Just like the other content on there, like the half-finished Zapper.
Isaiah Johnson
>This map has a Warthog on it FOR WHAT PURPOSE
Josiah Lewis
I know, but we've gotta make do with what we have. Those are the closest I could think of. (In terms of being a "special" armor, FOTUS and helioskrill, in terms of being a "ninja" shinobi)
They made a hayabusa set for halo 4, but it was never included
Oliver Stewart
Then explain why a patch wasn't necessary for any of the unlocks up until the first major patch? There was a tranny on twitter who would always post datamined content that was clearly finished.
Mason Cox
It was actually really useful on the top floor
Angel Gonzalez
But it's not that I want hayabusa back, just that the same opportunity to make a similar homage armor is now available for 343.
Also why is FOTUS special armor? I thought it was pre-order only in 4?
Chase Wilson
>Then explain why a patch wasn't necessary for any of the unlocks up until the first major patch? Except it did.
Still doesn't support your claim that there was a patch with each unlock(which there wasn't), since we got drops twice a week at the start.
Alexander Collins
>people complaining about on-disk content that was unlocked for FREE Yes, let's complain about everything! What do you mean there's actual problem in the industry? This company had the gall to lock stuff away for a small amount of time and had the audacity to let it go for FREE!
Carson Nelson
It's 343's "mascot" armor if that makes sense
Leo Moore
>the version history on a version history page is wrong and missing large chunks >the content that was datamined was proven to not be finished, such as missing textures or not having collision >this somehow was magically fixed without the patch
And don't forget, they had the gall to not finish it. The stuff that they wanted to put in before launch and stayed up all night to make. How dare they.
Ayden Flores
The point is more the fact that it's a practise to begin with, regardless of whether that content is paywalled or not. If I purchase the game, I want to be able to access all of the content on the disk at launch rather than have it dribbled out to me over the next few launch. It leads to the even shittier practise of having the content paywalled despite it being on-disk at launch.
It's like paying to be at an all-you-can-eat buffet, and you've loaded up your plate, but then the waitress tells you you're only allowed to eat certain things for now.
Just add that to the list of dropped features, along with split-screen, LAN, full armor customization, full emblem customization, and campaign matchmaking
Ryder Rodriguez
Why is there no forearm protection?
Also, what is the official /hg/ picture day pic?
Leo Cox
>the release date is set by the company >there's a few items that the team can't get done in time >they finish them later at no charge >THIS is the problem >not a company like 343 that makes you PAY MONEY FOR FINISHED CONTENT
Anthony Hughes
You're wrong, it like going to an all you can eat buffet and they tell you the roast is still being cooked. You still get what you paid for.
Jason Perez
Except that we've no real proof that all of the content we've received post-launch was actually worked on post-launch, save for maybe the Tron skins.
Ryder Sanchez
>content legitimately not being finished in time is the same as showing off maps in a trailer months before the game comes out, then just not releasing them
Do you mean pre-launch? Because we know that the majority of the content was done before Christmas, at the latest.
Brayden Baker
Mercy is basically 100% new assets
The forge updates were also done post-launch
Probably a few REQ weapons are new
But yeah most shit could easily just be recycled and done for months
Mason Moore
>un-finished content on disk >content is now magically finished! >clearly wasn't anything post launch! The datamined shit WASN'T FUNCTIONAL.
Do you think they'll ever add the plasma launcher?
Jonathan Thompson
>from November 2015 >game came out in May 2015 Man, that tweet sure proves nothing. You really this desperate to try and drag games down to 5's level of bullshit?
Jason Baker
>Do you think they'll ever add the plasma launcher? No
There actually was no 1.1.0. Skipped right to 1.2 about 5 days after launch.
Ethan Davis
>day 1 patches not listed
Landon Jackson

Andrew Clark
Worth noting that the N-Zap, Splat Zones mode, and Port Mackerel were released 2 days before this patch.

Here's the dedication rank cheat sheet in case you're wondering...
New Dedication Rankings. To go into effect when Halo Wars 2 launches: >Inheritor Ultra Max Halo Waypoint Gamerscore + 100% Halo 2 Vista
>Inheritor Max Halo Gamerscore
>Halo Addict Over 17,500
>Super Fan 16,000
>Enthusiast 13,000
>Casual 10,000
>Scrub 5,000
>Pleb Under 5,000
Colton Hall
>less than 10,000 is casual Man, some of the Vidmasters aren't even worth gamerscore.
Joshua Rivera
It's so easy to get over 10,000 at this point it isn't even funny
Hunter Evans
It's not supposed to be a gime' that you can easily escape casual rank without trying. That's why it's called casual rank.
Carson Bailey
I have almost every single achievement in 3, 4, 5, Reach, Wars, and all of ODST. That's still only like 7000, and MCC is just a grind.
Jace Sullivan
Someone post the old list. This list here won't go into effect until February
Daniel Sanders
>dedication improves reputation False. Red is a filthy habitual drunk of a degenerate, and Dew makes a sacrifice to Satan on 8/30 for his achievables.
Joseph Stewart
>I have almost every single achievement in 3, 4, 5, Reach, Wars, and all of ODST. That's still only like 7000 That's actually 8,900
Ayden Price
Well mine is higher than that, but still under 10,000. I've put way more time into Halo than a "casual", so the ranks need adjusting.
Noah Ward
I would give Red's opinion more weight than someone who only has 5000 gamerscore. Not like it matters, because he never really posts his opinion.
Aiden Lopez
So does this guarantee at least one more content patch?
Gavin Gonzalez
You're a fucking casual. A real Halo fan buys 4 versions of Spartan assault for 4,000 more useless achievement points.
Thomas Davis
That's not being a non-casual. That's being autistic.
Jace Wilson
It would depend on what the opinion was.
Ayden Hall
That list only applies to when Halo Wars 2 launches in February. When it does there will be 2000 more GS to get, so 10,000 will make sense for the casual line. Right now the casual line is lower than that.
Spartan Assault doesn't give that many cheevos
Red hosts customs and Dew is a really good player. They're both fine by me.
Daniel Williams
This. Just because someone played Spartan Assault 4 times and did 5 matches of CTF in 5 doesn't mean they know shit about anything not covered by achievements.
Parker Rogers
This.
Ethan Taylor
>That's not being a non-casual. That's being autistic. It's also being pretty dedicated. The biggest sports fans have tend of thousands of dollars in signed memorabilia.
Nicholas Green
>Dew is a really good player
Thomas Lewis
I don't care how much you say you "" like "" halo, you are NOT a fan of the series without all 4 Spartan assault versions
Nathaniel Ross
Pretty sure some of the people with the most gamerscore also have the most matches in Halo 2 played as well. They're pretty dedicated, m8.
It's a meme first and foremost, but if it triggers you, you're only keeping it alive.
Gabriel Powell
>The biggest sports fans have tend of thousands of dollars in signed memorabilia. And yet the last time I brought up my figure collection, I was told it was worth no gamerscore therefore nothing.
Logan Lee
That's just using that metric. There's also the sports fans who attend every game and practice for years. I knew a baseball fan with minimal memorabilia beyond a couple hats and a hoodie but had memorized stats for every player on going back years.
Parker Anderson
To each their own. I don't think you need all 4 versions of SA completed to be considered a fan, but you can't tell me that having all 4 versions completed is not a sign of love for the series. That doesn't mean you don't have that love otherwise.
Charles Rivera
Why are some people so triggered by others having more gamerscore than them?
Jordan Flores
>Why are some people so triggered by others having more gamerscore than them? Because the notion of that giving someone else's opinions more weight than there's terrifies them, even though an opinion is just an opinion at the end of the day.
I have yet to even see this put into practice anyway. It's mostly just a meme but some people get legitimately triggered by it.
Colton Lee
To some people here, gamerscore is their life and the only thing they can strive towards accomplishing. Not all of course, some people just enjoy hunting achievements, and that's fine too.
Don't bother with it unless you want to. As long as you've played a the games a lot, and maybe some of the outside lore like the books, you're a dedicated fan
Gavin Nelson
>Why are some people so triggered by others having less gamerscore than them? FTFY. You seem to have the situation backwards, my friend.
Samuel Parker
>an opinion is just an opinion >but mine is totally worth more lol KYS
Anthony Rogers
>n-n-no! It's not me hating on people that have more than me! It's the other way around! The comments in this thread suggest otherwise
Andrew Jenkins
>you can't tell me that having all 4 versions completed is not a sign of love for the series. It really isn't, though. You could just happen into all 4 of them. Playing all 4 copies doesn't mean you even like Halo. You could be a casual who got it on their phone, then just liked the single game "Spartan Assault" and played it on all 4 places. It doesn't mean you like Halo in the slightest.
Dylan Mitchell
Yeah, no.
Michael Evans
>"my opinion matters more!" >"no it doesn't, fuck off." >"y- you're just hating on people with more than you!"
Hudson Morgan
>It really isn't, though. You could just happen into all 4 of them Do you have any idea how long and tedious it is to get all the challenges done in Spartan Assault?
Xavier Powell
When making a map in forge, where do you normally start?
Grayson Mitchell
Not really.
Jackson Jones
Literally nobody is saying that. Stop getting triggered just because your gamerscore is lower. If it doesn't matter to you, then let it go.
