/hg/ - Halo General

>Xbox General
I'd be pretty pissed at you for that OP if it wasn't true

I didn't know they made 343 halo action figures. Weird. I think I have a halo 3 chief figure packed away somewhere from years and years ago.

What if i want to have my way with Bonnie instead?

Is this the best Halo 2 map?

Ya, they make a bunch.

Finally were starting to get into the good maps I see

Sure they do. McFarlane did a small run of Halo 5 stuff, Mattel have taken over.

Still mad at that movie. It's a bit silly. The guy gets black goo in his eyes then shoots his goo into the girl. Then she gives birth to a tentacle monster which somehow grows to be gigantic inside a sterile space station with no food. (Giant facehugger??) Then conveniently the giant facehugger thing somehow gives birth to a xenomorph.

It's almost as convuluted as the origin story of the flood from halo.

Nightfall taught me more than anything to never judge a work based on the high-profile names slapped on its production.

Where can I get that giant Mark VI blue dude? That looks great

Also I've gotta judge you a little for buying the didact, I think his design is fucking horrid, not to mention how they butchered his character as well

>Map man gets lost and dies
>Biologist acts retarded around alien snek and dies

The movie was ridiculous and it's weird because they meant to make it ridiculous.

It's also why we have the ugly downs syndrome nightfall armor instead of a real ODST set.

take that back immediatly

why didn't the UNSC just flash clone Spartans?

I personally like the design of the didact, even though I know it's an unpopular opinion. He was one of the only good parts of Halo 4 for me.

No, that thing is fucking ugly. It's ODST's inbred cousin. Looks retarded.

And helljumper is ok, but it's not actual ODST either.

Helljumper is real ODST

Nope, ODST is the real ODST

Can I join any fellow Halo General players playing Halo 5? I promise not to be shit :^))))

I think it could have been much better but I don't have too harsh an opinion about it either.

Except for everything below the head and the weird poofy part on the neck area of the helmet

ew

I think it looks better

Cept maybe the shoulders

>we will never get this

I'm not a huge Gears fan but I love what The Coalition is doing with the IP and sticking to the roots.

Do you think if its a success it will put 343 more on the spot to deliver a good halo game?

>Sticking to the roots aka changing literally nothing and adding req packs sure.

So what was /hg/'s consensus on Crowbcat's new video?

youtube.com/watch?v=6qfx9eoB-88

Makes me feel sad.

No, because I think the robots they're adding are retarded and the swarm is just a knockoff of the old enemies

A bit too biased, the skins part was too forced.

Less is more desu, but you can still earn characters through the campaign right? Their loot crate stuff is just additional skins for those characters?

Crowbat will happily spend 10 videos on Microsoft and not a single one on Steam or Sony. It's fine to make fun of people but it ruins it for me when they're that selective

I loved watching the Horde stream alst weekend, it's looking great. I hope pic related is back.

no reqs only.

lol right
Using Judgement's "horde" mode, fucking weapon skins/microtransactions, strong independent womenz who don't need no man, shit designs for armor, Esports, rockstar energy drink dlc, colorful enviroments.
Sure sticking to the roots huh.

343 wont change, they think what they're making is the best Halo product there ever was.

You can really tell he lurks /v/ all day. He did make a great video about No man's sky though, wasn't that one of Sony's strong cards?

Oh dear...I do not like this loot crate trend

Even call of duty has it this is the "future" of gaming.

What do you guys think of Horizon 3?

>Using Judgement's "horde" mode,
Judgement didn't even have a Horde mode. If you mean the class system, they're optional and free to choose, players aren't forced to a specific class. Also they only have unique passive abilities, no specific laodout/character/weapons.

>fucking weapon skins/microtransactions
We had like a million paid skins back in 3 and UE, do you really think that's better?

I suck ass in the first two bit I'll be dammed of I don't make it 3 for 3.
But now I can lose from the seat of my 'hog and be a pro hog player.
By that I am referring to the scout warthog pro gamer who plays maybe 100 times a week, when they are busy with scout warthog school. This is evident in the choice for multiplayer they have made in Halo 5. CSRs based off of how well your scout warthog tower looks, matchmaking that focuses on speed over quality of scout warthogs so that there are always those well above or below your skill level in a hog. These so called seasons and the rest you have to go through in order to rank so that you can hopefully have a match with players of similar skill level and enjoy it are amazing. All of this shows they are catering to the pro scout warthog gamer crowd and those who it is their major hobby in life. This leaves the average gamer with an excessive enjoyable time or totally enjoyable experience. They send out surveys but we should never, never, never ever, ever, ever talk about the surveys. For all these reasons I say 343 does care about you. Now on a side note I am not a 343 hater, I rather enjoyed Halo 4 and even the MCC (when it worked) and I am not a Bungie fanboy. I am just a guy who likes the Halo games and universe and am excited to what's to come.

>They send out surveys but we should never, never, never ever, ever, ever talk about the surveys.
Please explain.

I've seen enough Hentai to know where this is going.
>inb4 get the f*** out

get the f*** out

I was merely pretending

I agree. 343 should have never put it in halo.

Better than armor effects.

I least you didn't have to buy req packs to get armor effects.

I am more of a Forza fan than a Halo fan anyway.
One of my first games on Xbox 360 was Forza Motorsport 2.

You're right. You had to grind for a much longer amount of time.

I hole-hardedly agree, but allow me to play doubles advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go. Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn't take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It's clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother's mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like it’s a peach of cake

Guys, what if the warthog in FH3 is special edition only?

You get it from playing either halo 5 or MCC.

and the armor still looked better. and the art style. and the maps. and the story. and the statue buying the statue also got you red fire armor effect and a cool book. halo 5's statue came with a digital copy of the game and req packs . and Cortana.

Reach had the worst maps in the series, though.

>Art style
>story

Well...

I'm saying they looked better. I'm sorry if that wasn't clear.

>Buy xbone one and mcc just now to try and relive my days of playing halo 2 and 3 on live
>Try to play some big team
>Everyone is running around betraying each other
Does it get better once you get a rank?

Nope.

>Just wanna play H2A BTB
>Only 3 maps built for it
>Everyone always chooses H3 or H4 in BTB
No

>Actually wanting to play BTB

Plebs

no

_____u_____

is wrong. They announced that you unlock characters the old fashioned way, which was ranking up in MP, doing challenges in the War Journal and beating campaign.

Then they're putting more characters in the Gears REQ pool to pad it out, not I agree with REQ shit, it does give the game longevity. I reached 100 in Gears 2 after 2 months and it got boring after 100%'ing it. Then Gold Wings in 3 and had all the unlocks after 2 weeks of gametime, at least the REQ pool shit will get more playtime out of the game.

I don't even like cars but this looks beautiful, also the Warthog. I might buy it.

>I reached 100 in Gears 2 after 2 months
No fucking way

Yep, KoTH boosting back in the day, it's the only game I ever cared about boosting to get to the max.

Yo, FUCK Tank World. That shit is really boring to play. Why is 343 picking the shitty game modes and not the good ones like Jenga?
I swear they keep sucking WyvernZu's dick for maps.

t. Halo 3 babby

>good ones like Jenga

3 or 4 will always get voted and everyone runs around like they have no idea how to play Halo.

NERF THIS!

Oh, I'll nerf you alright.
You won't be moving around the same way when I'm done with you.

It takes place in the down under too, m8.

Reminder that on the 8th 1000 new achievements are launching for Windows 10 Forge. That's 1000 new achievements for you plebs and casuals to help increase your rank

You posted in the wrong general aspie

>Thinking I give a fuck about Halo gamerscore
I am just here to play the damn game, not to earn bragging rights. What's wrong with that?

>tfw you still dont have any of the stances or armors that you want
>tfw you still dont have H2 br

If REQ system returns in Halo 6, im not even buying it used

>If

lol ok you casual fuck

Same desu.

This is a true patrician post.

Tank World. Boring....

Only problem is one map and only 4 v 4

TW should be part of a heavies playlist that should be at least 6v6 with 2 or 3 maps for Tank World

But a 8 v 8 big ass map with tanks only would be a blast

>Only problem is one map and only 4 v 4
That and one player can just hide if he's going to lose.

>mfw have had the best armor since even before launch

>he thinks helioskrill is best armor

Unless there are some MAJOR changes at 3v4i (fire Brian Reed, remove pay2win, make a campaign that isn't a piece of shit, bring splitscreen back, etc. etc.), you shouldn't buy it at all.

Not him, but I agree.

Granted, pretty much everything about my spartan basically makes him a Sangheili weeaboo.

>he thinks Tracer is best armor

Pets in halo when?
