>tfw you get hate mail

Why are people so rude? :(

I'm happy enough that there's the ability to have my teammates revive me instead of going straight to respawn, but it's heavily reliant on either the AI or your teammates actually having the brains to get you up when you need them.

It's fanmail.
Now post it.

What are you talking about?

How do I do take screenshots out of game?

Perfection is a slayer-exclusive medal.

Better with AI

>Jul
>Ayit
>Ur-Didact, technically he's a 343 creation

You mean Iso?

Why did Halo 4 sell so much?

Nah, remember IsoDidact was the one who actually activated the Halos, i.e. the one in the Halo 3 Terminals.

The Ur-Didact first appeared in Cryptum.

In simple words, explain to me the difference between Iso and Ur.

Because Reach didn't kill the series Halo 4 did.

Ur-Didact was the original Didact, who married the Librarian, fought humanity, and opposed the Halos' construction. He was eventually driven insane by contact with a Gravemind/Precursor, imprisoned in Requiem, and released during Halo 4.

IsoDidact was a Forerunner upon which the Didact imprinted his "pattern", i.e. his personality and memories. This eventually overtook the Forerunner mentally and physically, creating an effective clone of the Ur-Didact who directed the war against the Flood and realized the necessity of lighting the Rings. The two personalities appear to have "reconciled" afterwards, creating a new being who may or may not still be alive.

Because Halo 3 was popular

Get windows 10 :^)

Halo 2 killed the series

Fucking gimmicks like "dual-wielding" and shit

I can't fucking aim anymore in 5 and it's really pissing me off.

It's called a cutscene, just press Y to skip it

git gud

...

Anyone here a refugee from bungie.net before the new website came about in 2013? Someone reminisce with me.

I was good when the game first came out, only in past 3 months have I really been lacking

My first experience with Halo's fanbase online was Waypoint, shortly after Reach passed into 343's hands.

Honestly the idea that Waypoint is made up of shills seems more of a meme to me, in my time there there were many, many people whose critique of the games would put /hg/ to shame.

Used to love how active bungie.net used to be, there's really nothing around that offers as much Halo discussion as it did. Then again the community is much smaller since 343 took over so that may be the reason.

No weaknesses.

Tell me about it.
Why is it that every other genre I can retain my general level of skill after taking breaks but with FPS if I'm not playing consistantly I lose everything?

>I've been shut up in my room hoping to avoid them

Where's that list with the challenges?

Impressive

I'm going back through the old private groups and such now. Dust and echoes.

Bungie.net was always full of cocksucking fanboys for Bungie, it's just a thing with official gaming forums.

>that aiming

Im fine in MCC or any other FPS, it's just 5 that I can't keep steady aim, even on default or lower settings sensitivity. In fact I noticed it when they first introduced the extra sensitivity and deadzone settings but I was still doing ok. But now you'd think I belong in bronze or silver.

It has a lot to do with 5's aiming acceleration

Red, of you're not going to play all weekend, you have to at least post your gf

Same here. My K/D has suffered horribly, and in previous Halo titles I've played at least average or better. It really feels sometimes as though I have to fight the controls to get them to do what I want them to do, and it's a chore to find settings that let me play consistently, let alone well.

I really hope that they enable this as a toggle feature in Forge PC. I'm pretty decent at PC shooters and I'll be angry if my performance is being affected by the game's input settings.

I assume it won't have any aim acceleration. Doesn't make any sense for a mouse control.

Yeah, 5's is weird.

It's 343i, assume nothing. The fact that they've ported the game to the PC and set it up for mouse & keyboard input has absolutely no bearing on whether they're going to take into account things like mouse acceleration.

Until I have the game installed I'm reserving judgment.

>Bias and Droid hopped off at the same time
>they're probably splitting some roastie right now
Why is life so cruel /hg/

At least the post ain't gay.

I leave home for a few weeks and look what happens
it's fine though, really

Why the fuck does the Xbox dashboard have an advertisement for competitive Smash Bros?

>At least the post ain't gay.

Really? Its not showing for me

>Red, of you're not going to play all weekend, you have to at least post your gf
But she's busy digging deep into her King crab. I'm being a pussy and went with dungeness.

Post her, faggot

Just under the Games for Gold sign is "Leffen: Resurrection."

At the very least give us drunk updates

>red is normie

>tfw your dog has to be put down

I wouldn't wish that feel on anyone.

>playlist hopping through Reach
>literally incapable of finishing enemies off
>keep racking up assist after assist

please end this specific brand of suffering

I'm sorry to hear user, I lost my pet recently as well.

>playing reach
well theres your problem

I'm sorry for your loss, but you'll grow greater as a result Remember the good times and press on
You will see your dog again, I promise

>tfw graduated and can't get a job

Life shouldn't be so terrible.

What is this meme?

>You will see your dog again

So it's time for customs right?

>You will see your dog again, i promise
w-what, is that a threat?

His dog is waiting for him in the afterlife, that's all

>literally believing in doggy heaven
Are you eight years old?

...

>He's just realizing this now
Red has always been normie scum

Someone post his bank account expense from a few weeks ago. He spent over $100 on one Saturday night.

Dogs don't have souls.

>thinking God is that demeaning
Please. His dog is up there waiting for him. Probably chewing on a heavenly biscuit as we speak.

THE /HG/TAGE: BUNGIE EDITION is currently accepting clips from now until September 30th. If anyone has a capture card and wants to help other anons get their Halo 3 clips in then post in the thread or send me a message on waypoint so we can set it up. My capture card is working but my laptop is having issues during the recording. The clips that are submitted must be from the following games.
>Halo: Combat Evolved/Anniversary/SPV3
>Halo 2/Vista
>Halo 3
>Halo 3: ODST/Firefight
>Halo Wars
>Halo: Reach
>Halo: The Master Chief Collection (excluding Halo 4/Spartan Ops)
Use the past community’tages as a reference on what to submit. I’ll be looking for casual and competitive clips in the multiplayer and campaign. To submit a clip, either post the xboxdvr/thehostyouuse link in the thread or send it as a message to "Sweaty Towels" on Halo waypoint.
youtube.com/watch?v=sh3KQb9dU4c
youtube.com/watch?v=fofX-OITWMw
youtube.com/watch?v=Bj0swJRlm5g

If you have any questions post them in reply to me or message me on waypoint.
DO YOUR DUTY AND SUBMIT YOUR CLIPS

>bungie edition
>halo wars

It's a shame Microsoft couldn't just make the older halo titles backwards compatible so we could use the dvr on our clips just because most of the games are in MCC.

>message to me on waypoint
Really?
That's your preferable method of communication?
Not Xbox chat? Not even /hg/? Fucking waypoint messenger?

>post them in reply to me or message me on waypoint.
Did you skip the first part retard?

B-but I'm already your friend.
Please be nice.

What the hell why not

Reach is a good game

Agreed, sucks I missed out on its prime but it is what it is.

How do we pick the music? I for one nominate the following:

If you've got clips saved from Halo 3 on the 360 and are unable to record them, just give me some time while I set up my capture card.

Right now I'm thinking we pick out our favorite tracks from each bungie era Halos and I'd fit them in where it would be appropriate.

A fun night out with the gf can easily run upwards of $100.
It doesn't make the person automatically cancer.
That being said, crab is the zodiac symbol for cancer.

My Joe's had a change about two years ago, that they took all the cool stuff off the walls and ceiling and made the place a boring grey. Does yours have that?

> Pittsburgh Crab Shack
Mah nigga. Went there once during Anthrocon. Worth every fucking penny.

What a rip off.

>you can destroy phantoms in every halo since 3
>take that out in halo 5

FUCKING WHY 343, WHJY DID YOU REMOVE SO MUCH IN HALO 5 FOR NO FUCKING REASON

But user, you can destroy two phantoms in the game. Features weren't removed. :^)

>firefight phantoms awkwardly moving on tracks with invincible door gunners
I think they maybe fixed the gunners?

Anyone watching the GoW4? This shit is comfy as fuck.

link?

They are on a break now. 2 teams, Horde, first to wave 50 wins, they're both on 40 right now..

Damn so ive missed most of it, how does it look though?

Horde? Surprisingly better than 2.0 and a bit more difficult.

That's good, at least Coalition knows what to do with Gears, unlike 343 and their take on Halo.

Well they got Rod Fergusson in charge after all, that's equivalent of 343 getting Staten or Jones.

If I shoot an enemy with a needler while a teammate does as well do they supercombine twice as fast?

It would be extremely painful.
