1st for 1 year later, still worse than Reach.

>one year later
>still dead

>/hg/ is still alive

Yeah Yeah that's great and all. We made it a year.

But now what?
What will keep us going? Nobody is excited for Halo Wars 2.

It's been over a year. The general started back up consistently before Spartan Companies were activated, which was like ten days before launch.

Were It So Easy

I think the problem with Cole Protocol is that it really has next to nothing to do with any of the games.
Everything else at least contributes to their backstory.

>Broken armor abilities
Okay.

I don't think anybody here is arguing Reach is perfect.

>ADS
Okay.

POST /HG/ MEMORABILIA

>ADS being literally the same as zooming in.
Okay.

>No split screen
Okay.

>broken
Please improve your skills.

You... have played Halo 5... right?

>Right stick click to zoom in
>Get shot
>Zooms out automatically
I have.

There are those who said this day would never come. What have they to say now?

>zoom in
>gun obscures 30% of screen
>some guns fire completely differently when zoomed in
user, I don't know what you're playing, but it's not Halo 5

user I don't hate Halo 5 or anything, but you're really beating around the Bush with that defense

Happy birthday, Halo 5!

Their prophets lied to them.
They promissed /hg/ freedom from a doomed existence.

So /hg/, it's been a year.

Now that the dust has settled, what's the consensus?

8/10 with all content

6/10

It's an overall meh package. I can completely understand why some people like it more than Reach. At the same time, I can completely understand why others like Reach more. It improves from Halo 4 in enough areas, but it's still a deeply flawed game.

THE /HG/TAGE IV: BUNGIE EDITION is currently accepting clips from these games.
>Halo: Combat Evolved/Anniversary/SPV3
>Halo 2/Anniversary/Vista
>Halo 3/ODST/Firefight
>Halo Wars
>Halo: Reach

user, the game has de-scope, y'know

5/10.
Buggy, still lacks content, playlists and ranking are shit and make matchmaking unfun, pay to win modes.
It functions as a game, but not a good one.

6/10 at the absolute most.

That's including all the """""new""""" content.
The campaign is fucking trash. Nothing more needs to be said at this point about how abysmal it is.
The core gameplay of the multiplayer is for the most part solid, more so than Halo 3 I would argue, so it's too bad that it is surrounded by terrible things that distract from being able to appreciate this, whether it be unnecessary gimmicks (ADS, ground pound) or probably the worst map roster in the series.
Forge is the best it's ever been and as a result, the potential for custom games are at their peak, so it's too bad that the game is limited to one player per console and requires a gold subscription.
That's the biggest problem with Halo 5; there's a good game here, underneath all the shit, but it's so far burried, that you really have to hold your nose and look the other way to pretend it's anything special.

>caring about campaign
Campaign has been shit since 3

Solid 7.8

Even if that were true, it doesn't make 5's campaign better.

Reach had a consistently decent campaign

>100,000 REQs for the "greatest armor hits" pack
>anybody with that many points already has all of the armor

5/10

It deserves a 50% grade, and I stress that specific number, because everything they do or add to this game, be it at launch or post launch, no matter how good it sounds, it's always a double sided sword.

5/10

There's fun to be had, but you have to sift through the overbearing amounts of bad design, lies, and broken promises.

Daily reminder that

>If youre older than 18 and whine about shit that doesn't evolve money or game features. You are a child

>If you hate halo5 but still play it you are stupid. Or you like Halo5 and are too immature to admit it. I assume peer pressure does exist online....

>HALO3 on 360 and Xbone work. You can easily play that if Halos so bad now.

>Nostalgia does exist and does put a big favor for older things. Dont assume Halos ever going to feel like Halo3. It never will. Even Halo3 wont feel like it did in 07

>Free DLC with some shitty implemented Req Packs for one mode is a lot nicer than "Pay fucking money for this DLC map pack or else you cant play half the playlists"

Oh and the first point

Not having a game mode: actual problem 343 should and better fix

Grunts and jackals looking ugly: subjective muh feels. Also as if species with billions+ population with galactic spanning travel would never have sub species

>See Skirmisher
>See dogs or birds or fish or any animal. Or even humans

And no "buh ones reptile n ones not" is not a point against the fact its very possible for both grunt or jackal or whatever species to exist.

Bad design what?

What broken promises?

What lies?

Were you around during Bungie era. Or you just found /hg/ and wanted to bitch about a company without knowing the ones before hand were lying per game. Even now with Destiny

But keep shouting your immaturity and hypocritical bullshit. Go ahead. Lie to yourselves about how you hate 343 but some reason just keep playing it.

I assume the "everyone is an asshole and bitter" trope is true about anyone on Veeky Forums

...

A) Thats a choice
B) That can be done in many instances in 5, even being able to skip fights like the wardens

Sorry you happen to like the shittest Halo games and condone the way 343 have treated the franchise

>this denial
Jesus fuck.

>Bungie broke promises
Did they? The only major case I can think of is how Halo 2 was pretty much cut in half, and that's more down to Microsoft pushing the release date forward than Bungie deliberately cutting things.

We draw closer /hg/

Will we make it in time for thread #300?

all halos over 3 except 5, yeah that guy is a retard

>every leader has been yuropoor
It all makes sense now.

WE NOT DEAD YET

>more maps
>firefight

Are these really the greatest hits?

Yes, yes they are.

Yeah, Rogue and Locus are great

I really don't mind witch noses on women, I think it can actually be attractive on some. as long as they're not fuckwide gorillachimp noses.

Yikes. This autism and cucking is DJorwell levels

>Personally say problems with 343 and Halo5

>Point out Bungie did lie and make false promises going onto Halo ODST and Reach

>Call me bad for somehow pointing out actual flaws

Honestly were you on bungie.net during Halo3. When New Mombasa and Zanzibar were up. Do you even know what those were? Was your first Halo on the Xbone? Are you trying to sound like an ignorant cunt?

I mean i could point out 343 problems just fine. Because unlike your baised cuck ass I can admit problems while still enjoying something.

Now please shut up. Shizno

>look at me I'm an oldfag!
Cute, and yes, I was around during that time, but that doesn't exactly answer my question. I asked for examples of how Bungie outright lied to their fans or reneged on what they said they'd accomplish. We already know that Halo has turned into a shitshow under 343i, that's not the question here.

Cunt that was years ago. I am not going to find points from years old articles

Its easy to point out 343 shit because its happening now. Bungie did it almost ten years ago. Like im going to be able to find exact details. Im not doing homework for your autistic ass to feel special

Also sperging. Calling out actual points is not autistic. What is autistic is whining about Halo5 but playing it while sucking Bungies smelly balls but not playing thier games.

Or like whining about "why do forunner things float" or "why does this not look like Halo3". Thats autism. So either youre as autistic as me, or nobody is.

Shizno

That's all well and good, but I must remind you of
>Reach

>Bungie did it years ago
>but my memory's too shit to remember examples
Alright, grandpa, time to go take your meds and have some nap time. You know you get cranky if you don't go to bed on time.

Also whining "you cant find evidence from nearly ten years ago reeeeeee" is not a counter argument. If 343 and Bungie swapped "eras" youd be defending 343.

And Halos gone to shit?

No you became bitter and old. You look for things to hate instead of organizing your priorities. Youre in your 20s and you think different designs are worth crying over.

When you were playing Halo1/2/3 you probably didnt have a job, probably no college, probably little to no problems. Now youre fucked with taxes, work, school, problems and stress.

When you loved halo3 you played with your friends from the block. After school. Now you have no friends or they all left and moved on.

Halo didnt go to shit. You just forgot how to have fun. You let your stressful depressing lives ruin things. Just look at you all

You cant even enjoy Halo3 because you can barely organize a game because "its too hard". I mean do you even enjoy any game now the way you did when you were 15....

>Also whining "you cant find evidence from nearly ten years ago reeeeeee" is not a counter argument.
Yes it is. You're saying they did something. Go show they did it.

>Reach
Delivered exactly what was promised. I don't recall Bungie promising any features that ended up cut or missed out from the full game upon release. In fact, for all of Reach's flaws, I believe it shipped as a full game exactly as intended, with content being added and expanded upon later with further DLC. No missing Theater Mode, no missing Forge, no missing playlists.

That's a far cry from 'we'll ship a third of a game now and then slowly drip-feed the game via IV for the next twelve months' and 'Hunt the Truth' becoming 'Adventures with Locke & Co'. Bungie games shipped fully-fledged on day one and featured everything that was promised by the developers, flaws and all.

Like I play and people literally spend the entire game whining. I mean how can people have fun if someones going

>This map sucks
>This custom sucks
>No matchmaking omg that sucks
>Fuck this game

Its annoying. Why the hell even play if you hate something so much. Do you forget yourself to do things you hate?

Ill wait for the "hurr durr you mad bro" trolling Ill get. But you cant hide the fact most of you are depressed bitter people who lost your enjoyment years ago. Calling me names wont fix your sad lives. Sorry

>greatest hit req pack

I expected nothing and was still dissapointed

Disliking the new forerruner art style means I'm autistic?

No faggot. Something that was ten years ago isnt exactly shit you can find. Bungie.net doesnt even look the same.

If this was 2010 I probably could. Or someone with more time. But just because I cant find shit from when I was 16or so doesnt mean it doesnt exist

Im not doing homework faggot. You arent paying me. You arent my boss. And you arent sucking my dick. So heres your evidence

>BUNGIE LIED AND MADE PLENTY OF FALSE CLAIMS AND STILL DO WITH DESTINY AND IF YOU THINK THEY WERE SAINTS WHO EVERYONE LOVED YOU PROBABLY DIDNT GO ON BUNGIE.NET WHEN HALO2 OR HALO3 CAME OUT. ALSO STOP SUCKING BUNGIES COCK WHILE TRYING TO SAY I DO THE SAME. IM NOT THE ONE DENYING 343 HUGE PILE OF FAILURES. ONLY ONE SHILLING IS YOUR ASS.

Im going to enjoy my dinner and xbox while you try to suck BUNGIES dick from ten years ago

>Something that was ten years ago isnt exactly shit you can find.
It'd be pretty easy to find. We have google.

Is it worth it to save up to 100k tonight for the greatest hit pack?
