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

If you have any questions post them in reply to me or message me on waypoint.

DO YOUR DUTY AND SUBMIT YOUR CLIPS

>match is actually balanced, like this
>it's always a pubstomp and gives no experience

Probably not, but I doubt it's well optimized, so you might as well give it a try for achievements sake.
After all, the game is free.

>Just beat an aimbotter in Reach doubles

Feels good

Oh look everyone, it's the poor man's coagulation

Here's your (you) since you keep posting this.

Finally.

>there's even some stuff that "leaked" from the video over the past week

I dont think it was ever canon. Dunno what that user's on about

Am I the only one that doesn't like Valhalla?

So many memories...

thanks

These are the "Ultra" settings?
Pretty weak desu.
The only thing I could understand not everybody having is the i7 and I doubt that's as necessary as they say

>Just beat an aimbotter in Reach doubles

Just how much of a steaming shit fest is the Xbone hardware?
I know it's behind, but this is just sad.

>yfw the Scoprio doesnt have system link

I got it familia

Send in more clips if you get the chance

The Xbox One is a mistake. That's the best way to describe it. Unless I'm playing arena, I don't see myself ever going back to the console version of 5 once the PC release launches thursday.

FORGE TEAM NEVER DISAPPOINTS HOLY SHIT

>Specs of a low end PC from 3 years ago

SUPERCHARGED PC

If they would release Halo 3 on PC I would immediately sell my xbone

All Halo Games will be on PC from now on, so we can LAN with that.
Problem solved.

Thats all I had from Reach since it was recorded back in 2010, but ill keep trying for 2 and 3 on MCC

There's a good chance 3 Anniversary will be on Windows 10

How much money do I need to spend on a PC to get it to play the minimum requirements?
The reccomended?
The Ultra?

Google it.

>How much money do I need to spend on a PC to get it to play the minimum requirements?
Less than $275
>The reccomended?
$400
>The Ultra?
$600 on the rig, but the 4K monitor will vary in price.

$300
$400
$600

You have no excuse to not be able to run W10 Forge in 2016

Got quite a few more but most of them are boring overkills

I like the old jackals better because their thinner frame and feathery skin makes them look more frail. The new design makes them look thicker and more robust, which makes their appearance counter-intuitive to their role.

Now they can deepthroat sum his brute dik

>$600 for ultra

Where the fuck are you getting these prices? I built my PC with over $1500 and barely match the recommended.

No way.

1. Coagulation
2. Blood Gulch
3. Hemorrhage
4. Valhalla
5. Ragnarok
6. Basin

I'll take Valhalla over blood gulch, but Coagulation over both

Awful. Bear in mind that the xbone has a total of 5GB of memory (8 in total, but 3 are at all times dedicated to the OS and such) to act as both general ram and vram. Frankly, it doesn't surprise me at all that we're getting mid-generation upgrades because it's proving to be all but necessary.

t. Logical Increments Babby

You wasted a lot of money.

You're buying your parts from the wrong places.
Building a PC smart takes time and research. I bought my 970 2 years ago for $200

I bought every part for my PC from newegg. Is there really any other better place?

It's not surprising.
Most people here get their PC building advice from reddit or Veeky Forums and as a result end up spending roughly twice as much as they need to.

Not them. And let me say that the prices they're throwing around are technically possible but with a big astrik after that word.

A lot of it depends on when you bought your PC pieces more than where. The market fluctuates a lot. There was a time when there was an error with 980 cards and during that month they dropped to $100. Now they're back up.

Chances are, for a practical non autistic shopper, you didn't really waste that much money, so don't feel bad.

As far as where to buy, there's no one place, there's coupons and price discounts everywhere, always changing. The best physical place you can go is Fri's. I travel there with a friend once a year for upgrades.
But if you don't live near one, then Newegg is fine if you're assembling all at once.

There's no right place to buy.
There's a lot of factors to take into account. My roommate buys mostly used parts from craigslist. His PC is twice as powerful as mine for half the cost, but I don't like the Hassel and Risk.

We need an official reccomended PC build of /hg/.
Something that can run the reccomended setting for Forge but is also fairly future resistant.

We should pool our knowledge so we have something to reccomended and point to for people who want to make the most out of the play anywhere program for future Halo titles without spending a fuck ton of money.

>hybrid DMRs on maps now
Thursday can't come soon enough.

Thanks for submitting. If you get the chance, I'd like to see those boring clips too to see if I can work them in somewhere. Especially if they're from CE or H2/A of which there is a massive lack of.

This could be a fun group project.
For the case I reccomended the fractal design R5.

Of the cases I have experience that I reccomend, it's the least autistic.
No annoying lights.
No dumb symbols.
No obtuse shape for "le pro gamer aesthetic"

I like where this is going...

Since you guys are not going for an ultra build, I suggest we prioritize quietness in the cooling department.

This 212 EVO fan is pretty low noise and can be bought for under $30.

Here's my 2 cents on the build.

We shouldn't waste money on space.
If they want more space, they can buy a cheap external or internal Seagate or WD HDD when they're on sale or on black friday.

Instead, I'm more concerned with reliability and speed. Right now SSD drive differences in price are jokes in that unless you're doing some serious movie editing or art design, you don't need the end all be all model.
This SanDisk Ultra II is perfect in this regard. I bought one two days ago for Windows 10 (I wanted my windows 7 to have its own drive) and it works flawlessly and fast. This will load games fast but also boot up the PC very quickly.
What's best, it's retailing at $75, but I've seen it for less.

It will get the job done.

What if I want a cool gamer case?

Enjoy trying to sleep

>what is turning the computer off

are you autism?

Can't you just like, turn it off or something?

>turning your computer off every day
Please tell me you don't do this

>he turns his computer off when he goes to bed
Are you made of money? You do know that radically shortens your rig's lifespan...

How does it lower your PCs lifespan?

I have to pay for my own electricity and I'm not rich so you're goddamn right I do that.

(YOU)

RAM is so fucking inexpensive right now that it's laughable. You really owe it to yourself to go out and get another 8 gb if you're not at 16 gb yet, but since we're trying to save money, I'm only reccomending 8 gb.

I don't care what model it is, just make sure it's DDR4.
Theoretically you'll be fine with 8, but don't blame me if the price shoots up in a few months and you missed out.

If you're going to be upgrading components with ~5 years it's not going to matter.

Something something startup is the most stressful part of operating a PC.

>I'd like to see those boring clips too

Fine but unfortunately 90% of them are H3

My friend has some pretty nice H2 clips I'll ask him if he wants to submit them

>31 dollarydoos

Oh good, those gooks aren't still riding the "flooding a few years ago destroyed a factory, better double the price" gravy train.

It's mostly a meme.
Technically every time you start your PC, it pushes the mobo, fans, and processor a bit. Therefore if you start up less and just use hibernate or sleep, you'll get more startups, but these parts are built to last. You might lose a few months, not a few years.

It's like saying you don't want to have to buy a new car as soon so you're going to start your car less often.

>H2A (Don't know if you're accepting these)
I am, I'll fix it next thread. Thanks

>My friend has some pretty nice H2 clips I'll ask him if he wants to submit them
If he has never posted in /hg/ before then there's no need. The only real requirement for this /hg/tage would be that the submitter needs to be a semi-regular of this general.

The motherboard is probably one of the few things you don't want to be cheap about.
This is a quality yet affordable mobo.
The Z-170P.
It will allow for upgrading in years to come but has plenty of slots for a starter build. It's missing some bells and whistles like built in WiFi but you can always buy an adapter.
I reccomend ASUS because they're reliable.

I've seen this for $110- $120

>If he has never posted in /hg/ before then there's no need. The only real requirement for this /hg/tage would be that the submitter needs to be a semi-regular of this general.

This is shit policy 2bh

Alright, he doesn't post here (as far as I'm aware) so I won't bother

>you will never taste smugmund's sweet smegmund

Why even live.

This is redundant since you said don't be cheap, but for the love of God don't buy Asrock. They fucking blow.

I think it's fair. Some people might even say that I should only include people who are in the current spartan company. Since /hg/ is part of the title, it should have some meaning towards the content.

>/hg/ montage
>wants people not from /hg/

>sigmund will never be your big gay dad

Find me a cheaper mobo that does everything as good as this

FUDD

Forward Unto Dawn Dawn?

>tfw /hg/'s greatest minds are working together to produce a quality PC build

where is my mind

You met me at a very strange time in my life.

The best tasting soda is lemon lime

No, not Asus. They're fair game just so long as they got that secure boot problem sorted out. I mean Asrock.

Is there any Halo less enjoyable to play than pre-patch AR spawns Reach.

Vanilla Reach is my favorite reach

I disagree.
I liked Reach most before they started updating it to be more competitive

Nope, not even Halo 4. At least in that game the guns were all equally powerful.

I honestly liked it better when it was crazy

>ODST nowhere to be seen

Strange considering all H3 and 4 content is in the MCC while ODST is missing firefight

I need help! Im having a "mandela effect" shit in my head regarding Halo

Who else remembers old old old school Halo CE with Fusion Frenzy and Brute Force?

Any CE ive gotten after 360 era doesnt have a "Demo" option. But that did exist right?
