not hunter

Lobby tonight for reach?

Pc or xbox?

Xbox one

Noble Six turns Six today

Post your six

This is 6's canonical appearance

Making N6 customizable was a fucking retarded idea tbqhwy

It was kind of cool but always bothered me story wise

Completely disagree.
It was a great way to make you, the player, become a unique part of the game.
It was your story.

This.
The only people that would have a problem with the ability to change your character are lorefags.

Dumb self insert fags

Why would it bother you?

>6 years old
>759 current players

...

Why did people hate this remake?

Anyone know how to fix the problem with the App store not letting you download anything? I was thrilled to learn about the PC release but I can't seem to start the download on the store page.

Contrarians

I didn't like how much it changed.
I can't find pic but there's one comparing the first hallway where you learn to crouch in PoA and it looks worse. Elite's look dumb too.

>Why did people hate this remake?
1. It uses the Gearbox port, which has some shoddy aiming and hit detection as well as some graphical bugs.
2. The anniversary graphics are, outside of the snowy levels, pretty bad. It looks like chunky cheese halo. The original art design looks better.
3. Models are ripped straight out of Reach because laziness
4. This applies only to the Xbox 360 version, but the multiplayer is just modified Reach on 6 maps.

5. The anniversary graphics do not line up with the actual level terrain. In some cases it's a pretty big difference

>11 posters

>The anniversary graphics are, outside of the snowy levels, pretty bad
>Opinions

They fucked up a ton of things

>Marine models being replaces with Reach Army troopers
>Level geometry getting fucked up in places
>removing the fog in guilty spark
>a lengthy delay between switching graphics (360 version)

Personally, i thought they could have done a bit more with it. Like include some of the cut stuff from the original or add a new mission or something.

Instead we got Halo CE on 360 with reach graphics.

...

...

>Dark and mysterious alien hallway becomes brightly lit LGBT color factory with Hexagons everywhere and a fraction of the blood
Like I said, it looks better in the original

I think that the anniversary version looks better (obviously) but it doesn't hold the tone that the original is trying to convey.

I can understand and respect this opinion

CEA looks beautiful i don't care what deluded CEfags think. The only level i can agree looks awful is 343 GS.

That's stupid, why would an advanced alien ship be dark in the first place? Did the Covenant turn off the lights to intimidate the human aggressors or something?

It's at +1000 now

>still only 7 in invasion though

>759 current players
>7 in invasion
Wait is that really what the pop counter says?

yep

Promethean soldiers are alrite
files.catbox.moe/bdau3y.mp3

They also ruined the soundtrack.
While the original was a bit too synthesized in a lot of tracks, they put minimal effort into recreating the tracks and as a result they are atmospheric ally less pleasing for the most part.

Halo 2 Anniversary has the opposite problem. They upped the intensity of the tracks way too much in intensity and as a result most of them sound way too "loud". What was once nice oohing and ahing at times is almost screaming now.
They also didn't do a great job replacing the Breaking Benjamin/Incubus/Hoobstank tracks.

>343 can't do anything right meme

The screenshots look nice in a vacuum, but they change mood and lighting too much.
To say nothing of design changes on elites and marines.

It worked much better with the original sneaking feel of the level. The whole thing was dark.
The outside area for the same reason makes no sense. It makes no reason for me to be able to sneak past covies because everything is bright as fuck.

>aliens prefer exact same light levels as humans

Nobody in this thread has said that but nice projecting I guess.

Also 343 didn't do the anniversary graphics but I guess I can't expect an appologist to do much research.

>being this triggered by complaints about 343
Given their track record, I don't know why you people even exist if you're not shills.
Or, I guess, you just generally enjoy the new games? If that's the case then ok, you're entitled to your opinion, but don't call people out for having a different one, especially when they far and away outnumber you.

>This is one the ships i managed to disable before abandoning the autumn

>Reach's birthday
>featured map is on track to be a Reach map
How appropriate

Be that as it may, all other games inside covie ships have it being super dark anyway.
High Charity, the Corvette from Reach, even the shadow of intent.

When Saber went ahead and made the T&R bright as the sun, they clearly had not been properly informed by 343.

...

Give me some Halo 5 Forge links to good Reach maps.

Just use the search they put in.

>everyone that downloads a map gets it reuploaded under their name
>no idea what anyone has done to change it, if they have at all
This is why I'm asking here.

youtube.com/watch?v=Nq9bv1IeX3k
Go and see if you like any.

>it has color
>that makes it faggy

Son you need to stop projecting so hard

See It looks incredibly out of place given what all other covenant interiors look like.

There's a difference between being triggered and identifying the one nigger swimming in the pool that's clearly for whites only.

...

>Given their track record, I don't know why you people even exist if you're not shills.
These people really don't enjoy the 343 games that much. What it is is that they're so obsessed with being contrary an hipsters that have a high opinion that they will always lash out against popular opinion.

Is that the DMR? i don't remember it looking that good.

>finally got windows 10 to update without shitting itself

This was my favorite big team map in Reach, but I liked spire more for invasion

Is 225 a milestone number?

Best example of Reach him actually using a map well in both campaign and multiplayer.
Most other Reach maps are pointless in the campaign.

>Is 225 a milestone number?
Yes, but it's not a major enough Milestone to do something about really

Too big.

What's that song that plays during the flood sections of halo 1?

It's really not even that big compared to other Reach maps

No, wait for #300

>that one on the left Ledge with the rockets

Reach has the best aesthetic.

Here.
People can add to it with recent happenings if they want.

...

>modified Reach on 6 maps.
that's because it was
the maps were remakes for reach and they made a gametype that was in the style of CE
it was never supposed to be a replacement for CE multiplayer

...

I really liked this part of the campaign

...

to me this is the iconic Flood theme

I wonder why they it never showed up again in the other games

...

I'll be over here posting mamacats and being on best team.

For you, Sweaty

WHY DON'T YOU CALL IT THE MONTH OF FIXING THEATER

Team Rex is best team

A masterpiece is born

autobots roll out

Somebody find that screen of the Tumblrtard insisting that 6 was nonbinary, the retort that there's literally a "male/female" option, and the triggered response.

you mean this?

Heh, exactly.

Dumbshits.

>WZA population already dead less than a week after the update dropped

YOU CAN'T DEFEAT ME

Country?

US west

That's weird then, probably your connection or something.

I can still find matches in most playlists instantly
just always takes forever with WZA if it even lets me in at all

Not him, but yesterday we were playing and kept getting matched with the same people over and over again
