/hg/ - Halo General

I have never posted in /hg/ before but can I sperg for you guys for a sec?

I'm entering the Army and what keeps me going through PT is pretending I'm training to be a Spartan.
Ranger school seems impossible but if the reward in my mind is getting closer to that unobtainable goal then I think I can make it through.
I just wish I could be an augmented soldier [spolier]who doesn't afraid of anything[/spoiler]

...

It's okay, we don't need campaign with the best multiplayer in the franchise.

I'm just asking where the "upset" is in that carefully assembled pic.

5 of the posts don't mention CE at all and 2 of them straight up blast CE.

Not american but to me, all those years of training seem like a waste of your life. I hope you find happiness in that though.

>lol I'm not mad, the people that beat me are!
Ok

You need to read between the lines my friend,every single post in that pic is secretely upset by ODST taking CE's spot by a small margin.
Go look up the archived the thread if you want context i guess..

>only I can interpret the posts correctly
Who died and elected you Pope of /hg/?

...

I'm getting a degree through it (I bitched out and took the officer route) but even if I wasn't I would still be grateful for it. The physical training alone is worth it. You just feel better by being in better shape. The training is useful in general and it's good knowing I can survive on my own if the proverbial shit hits the fan

Looking at the thread in question now.
He's right. There's definitely CE purists that don't like ODST being ranked slightly higher.

What he's not telling you however is that there's also butthurt 3 and 5 fans. A lot of "it only got ranked low because of the story, the gameplay is the best in the series" crap.
Should I assemble an image?

Do it

Go for it.
I'm all for exposing fanboys that are overly loyal to one game, but to pretend their the only ones shitting up /hg/ is part of the problem.

I like Halo Reach
Especially the amour customization and the firefight mode.
Multiplayer wasn't too serious or structured, but I still found it fun.
I'd rank it my 4th favorite Halo game, tied with ODST.

Sgt. Johnson

Probably the best infection map in the franchise

Yes, let's compare.

Worst map

>tfw sitting up on the top ledge before they put a boundary there
>cousins would protect me when they became Infected, and since there wasn't betrayal booting it worked perfectly
Good times.

Don't mind me, just locking down this base

Why would anyone even use Armor Lock on Sword Base?
You need something like sprint or jetpack to get around

Go for it, i already tried and couldn't find posts with people defending individual games with the same determination.

Name me 5 Reach maps better than Sword base

Is this why you faggots don't like this game?
Armor Lock wasn't even that bad, you just needed to learn the timing of when to throw a grenade and they're dead.

Does this count?

The TU made armor lock fucking pointless along with removing anything that was fun about the game.

The only one that counts is the autist in the top one, the others are actual opinions with reasoning.

Anchor 9
Powerhouse
Countdown
Zealot
Any of the Anniversary maps aside from Solitary and High Noon.

This.
Reach only worked as a crazy arcade halo experience.

By trying to make it competitive they destroyed the only thing it was good at in matchmaking

>Anchor 9
>Countdown
(gunshot)

Adding up the rest of the listed maps with the Anniversary maps still gives us more than 5 maps that are better than Sword Base.

Countdown is terrible though

Reach was fun and people hate fun, as evident with people liking the competitive focus in 5 which completely drained any fun out of it besides warzone assault

You should tell your CO this.

Agreed

It was a good Snipers map, and played a decent CTF. Even if it wasn't great, it was better than Sword Base even if only because you can get from one side of the map to the other without being completely exposed.

Good taste

Tempest is god tier map in the whole series, and i say it as someone who hates Reach.

>Halo 3 Birthday Thread
>Featured Map is from Reach

It did forge better than Forge World.

The Jetpack was more game breaking than AL imo

Yeah THAT will go well

AL was super punishable by good players, but made scrubs cry. Jetpack was easy to deal with if someone didn't know what they were doing with it.

Not this user but this is all i could find by quickly reading through half of that thread.

They should have made it a jump pack considering how heavy Spartans are. It would still be a jet pack in ODST hands

The featured map last thread was a Halo 3 Map

>AL was super punishable by good players
In 1v1 scenarios definitely, but what about team-based modes? You get raped by his teammates while he comfortably waits in his AL.

They need to know what kind of retard they are training to kill.

It's true that those scenarios can happen, but being able to defy pathing and go wherever you want at any time is invaluable. Due to Reach's slow aim acceleration, you could easily fly over people's heads without them being able to do anything about it.

And marines think they'll get to kill dragons or some shit, what's the difference?

That ability alone made me sell Reach after the first week.

Marines do get to kill dragons.

This guy thinks he gets to be a super soldier. What do you think will happen after he rushes out to T-Bag his first kill.

Post receipt

If the enemy team has time to show up, then you have time to leave. And they can't get kills in armor lock, so at best they're gaining no points while you can go and kill someone else.

He gets a medal? I don't know, never been in the army.

...

So just run away when an enemy ALs? Do you even realize how stupid that sounds? I can't believe there's still people defending this shitty mechanic.

So when the other team has a power weapon your first instinct is to run towards them?

>mild cheddar
KYS, sharp cheddar is where it's at

The fuck is breaded ham?

>turn around to leave
>they exit armor lock and shoot you instead
What's the next step in your master plan?

Now you're comparing AL to a power weapon and with that logic i guess you think spawning with a power weapon would be perfectly fine.

Ham with bread texture and taste.

>enemy has a tank
>lol run at them
>enemy has rockets
>guess I gotta absorb them with my face!
What?

>>>>>turn around
Found your problem, stupid.

>walk backwards staring at the guy in armor lock
>get shot from any other direction
Yes, this will surely work!

>spawning with tank is good mechanics

Ham that's just been breaded.

>can't check his radar

>know someone has something strong
>blindly charge them

Why aren't you still changing your trip senpai, as I said some other guy is also using it on /a/

Really? That's why I got the ban evasion notice? I've been banned randomly before saying that I posted on /a/ so I thought nothing of it. Anyway I really don't care if he's just posting on /a/

Where's the assembled image? I'm sure you found a lot of stuff.

You'll have to go through without trip occasionally then because the guy is quite the shitposter: desuarchive.org/a/search/tripcode/iwk+EfPEnqY/

Just change it and use something more unique/hard, it's not like getting a new trip is hard or something

>turn to kill the guys coming from behind on radar
>guy in armor lock comes out and shoots you
It'll work this time!

>having turning speed so slow that you can't whip around to the door once he's out of sight
>still haven't looked at your radar
>apparently also chose armor lock because you apparently have no mobility options
Sounds like you're just bad at spatial awareness.

Who /amazon pre order/ here?

>jet pack
>enemy also has fast turning speed
>stuck in the air
>die
Alternatively
>sprint away
>shot at
>turn to shoot back
>can't run away again because sprint has a recharge

>pre order

A better look at the Best Buy exclusive weapon skin for the gnasher

Eh, I'll change it if he gets banned again. Won't bring me any harm.

>he won't get to play as milf Anya

I don't even like Gears but the zombie Dom thing bothers me, Dom died a hero, and now they're soiling him.

Cawfee

The worst part is everyone will play as him because
>lol zombies OMG
and
>edgy

I don't see the issue, it's just multiplayer and the coalition is smart enough to not pretend it's canon like certain incompetent company.

Gween team

The only one of these exclusive to Best Buy is the Black Walnut skin for the Gnasher, as seen It's... just black? Isn't the normal shotgun also a slightly different shade of black?
Gamestop's skins look actually noticable and there's TWO of them

With the best buy pre order, you also get a physical exclusive mug and coaster

Halo reach is probably the best halo game ever.
Great campaign,Fantastic Multiplayer and a Good community.Anyone disagree?

>Anyone disagree?
Yes
