That's not ODST.

>wanting to be a Spartan
>a pathetic human warrior
Go ahead. Put some armor armor and see if that makes you feel cool.
My transformation has already begun.
I can not be stopped.

Don't go as a Spartan if you're skinny (skeltal) or short, the armor will look horrible

Holy shit that's impressive

>tfw 343 could've and were making a good Halo game until Microsoft stuck their grubby fingers in it

OR just wear boots

I love how it looks like it was made by some skinhead redneck out of spare parts from his car because he had nothing better to do

How will that solve anything

Here, my friend. I give this to you.

Shut up cunt

>it's a meme because it means you can't just blame a single entity
If 343 is completely to blame for this, then Bungie is 100% to blame for Destiny and Activision and their new employees can't be brought up.

>a baseless accusation is the same as multiple confirmed accounts of executive meddling, complete with documented court cases
user, stop. Until further notice, it's 343's fault.

How's my Halloween costume?

Bonny go to bed.

Why don't I tell you in person?
Are you by any chance in London?

Always.

FUCK YEAH COWBOYS

>Cowboys get 20+ points
>I get 50% off a pizza
What three toppings do I get? I typically go for pepperoni, bacon, and canadian bacon. Yes, I can also do triple bacon.

Pineapple, mushrooms, ground beef.

REMOVE LEAF

Depends on how they handle the bacon.
Sometimes it's too much and not crispy enough.

See if you can get the Canadian bacon with normal bacon on half and pepperoni on the other half

user, Canadian Bacon is basically the ham they serve at IHOP. It's tougher and thicker, but not quite normal ham and not quite bacon.

>people still play Halo

seriously guys, marijuana turns people gay

Name a better recent arena shooter with a decent population

No, overwatch is not an arena shooter

>Caring what other people play

>Halo 5
>Decent population

Come on...

look around, where do you think we are?

Doom 4 has a better campaign than any of the recent Halo games

Do people really buy Halo for the campaigns? That's retarded.

If only the multi was good

I havent, not since 3

>Titanfall 2 has a better campaign than Halo 5

Don't mind me, just playing a better game than Halo 5

I say this as someone who likes Halo 5

>titanfall 2
>good
As someone that played the beta, "no,

Has Halo been on spot since 2? I mean reallly, I loved that motherfucker, but I just feel like they've been ostracized to this day!

If you say so crusading.

They've mostly fixed it since the beta (keyword mostly)

Campaign is great

Here are the flaws:
720p on Xbone
Killtimes feel a little too fast and CoD-like compared to Tfa1
Titans still don't have shields when you spawn them
2 weapon limit
Maps aren't as dense and cluttered with lots of parkour routes, much more open (all dlc is free though, maybe new maps will be better)

Other than those, it's good. You can go really fast again like the first game. Titan combat is satisfying.

I played the beta too. Hated the first week. Second week was better. Final game is waaay better.

And the campaign is pretty short, but every level is really unique, and the story is pretty fun.

>that fucking HUD
Jesus christ, people made jokes about HUDs that cluttered ever existing five years ago.

>playing DOA cod reskin

It's literally like that on purpose

I wouldn't feel like I was in a giant robot walking tank machine if the screen was nice and clear

will 343 ever release population statistics?

I would've thought they would release something since its been a year

Just because it's on purpose, doesn't make it aesthetically better.

>will 343 ever release population statistics?
No, it's pretty easy to make an assumption based on the populations of BF4 and Battlefront though

([])

DELETE THIS!
HALO 5 IS THE BEST HALO!!!
IT HAS THE MOST ACTIVE PLAYERS SINCE HALO 3! 343 SAID SO THEMSELVES!!!!!
HALO REACH IS TERRIBLE AND RUINED THE SERIES!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, Reach is irredeemable garbage. Welcome to life outside the Cycle.

>Reach
>Garbage
What does that make 4 and 5 then?

Fell right for the bait I see

>So how can you defend halo 5 after all it has done to stain the series?
>"well uh... welll... FUCK REACH!"
Literally. Every. Fucking. Time.

You've got to wonder if it's just the same same person at this point. The tactics for apologizing and deflecting are so similar that it's pretty rediculous.

Happy Halloween /hg/

...

>giant gritty industrial themed war robots
>somehow messy UI doesn't make sense aesthetically

Found a video of Reach from July 4 2012. Almost 70k players kek

youtube.com/watch?v=FLNUsEJ5YSU

"Reach was mediocre, so that excuses 4 being garbage and 5 missing content and features"

Pffff, that's nothing!
Did you know that Halo 5 has the most active players since Halo 3? A game with EIGHT MILLLIONNNN players???
We won't release the numbers to prove it, but believe us, Halo 5 is definitely super popular!
Please buy more req packs

Reach does have a population counter glitch though

You can add up all the individual playlist pops and they won't equal the "overall" pop

This is true, although it can swing both ways. Sometimes there's actually more people playing than it says, sometimes there's less.

>5 and 4 are terrible garbage and 343 is killing the series!
>waah don't talk about Reach!
Bungie started it, and I'm loving how the cycle is still real.

What if I always liked reach, I always despised 4, and I have fun with 5

The "cycle" usually breaks down when you ask an individual's opinions about each thing

Nigga I don't even like Reach, I'm just pointing out how pathetic the typical appologist deflection ton 101 is to not want to discuss how shit 5 is and instead talk about how shit a game from 6 years ago is.

Just keep digging that hole, John

Well, to be fair if people bring up 4 being shit, it's completely fair to mention Reach since it was just more of that formula.

Other way around

Reach is less of that formula, 4 is more of it

Based on the amount of cancerous abilities and perks and shit in each and which was released first

>reading comprehension
user, please.

you fucking wot m8

>the sins of the fathers excuse
4 is it's own game made by its own studio.
Blaming Reach for 4 being even worse than Reach is... that just makes no sense. At all. They could have taken any route. They chose that one.
Reach didn't kill Halo. Interest stayed high and the population stayed invested. Halos popularity died with 343, not Reach. You can juggle the rhetoric and diologue around all you want, you can make excuses, but those are the facts.

You're 100% spot on, but appologists will refuse to accept this.
These are the kind of people that are always blaming other people for their faults in life instead of taking responsibility for their own actions.

Halo CE: The covenant tries to activate a halo

Halo 2: The covenant tries to activate another halo

Halo 3: The covenant tries to activate ALL the halos

Halo 4: Master Chief is stranded on an ancient world, desperately trying to reschedule a dying Cortana, and at the same time an Ancient Forerunner warlord and his armies made up of the souls of composed humans are trying to stop you

Halo 5: A broken fragment of Cortana is rescued by a sentient data network made out of reality-warping neural physics, and as she tries to gather a force of policing constructs to enforce her new empire upon the galaxy, you have to track down the Spartan-2 blue team and save them before it's too late

Remind me again why we hate Halo 4&5 yet praise the originals?

kys you reach shitter

honest to fucking god you people are the worst

>They could have taken any route. They chose that one.
Maybe they chose it to follow the path bungie laid out.

Holy shit m8 can you even read?

I'm no fan of Reach.
Nice projecting tho.

>Gets BTFO
>resorts to name calling
This is just sad

I think it'd be interesting to see everyones matchmaking kills for every game and if they match up with your preferences for the games themselves

Halo 2 - 245
Halo 3 - 44232
Reach - 34581
Halo 4 - 4391
MCC - 17606
Halo 5 - 4323 and counting

Ignoring H2, it's pretty accurate.

Bungie's path was orange juice robots, Tron with dogs, no Playable elites, no brutes, spawning with whatever Weapon you fucking want, killstreaks, sprint for everyone, and QTEs?
Citation needed.

>company A makes game
>game is shit
>company B makes game
>game is even more shit
>"HURR IT'S COMPANY A's FAULT!"
No it isn't you fucking imbecile.

>inb4 Muh bungie defense force
Destiny is just as if not more of a fuck up than Halo 5

they certainly didn't have to add perks, killcams, and actual player-created loadouts in matchmaking

>spawning with whatever you want

No, just spawning with the fucking copy-paste clones of Medium range rifle with scope, automatic rifle, and pistol (2 pistols Get added gimmicks)

Applies to the snipes as well

Mine's kind of accurate.

It was the logical progression of the system

>It was the logical progression of the system
No user.
If Reach was a letdown, then the logical progression would be to not continue the trend.

It was a let down but still a "commercial success." I think the new Call of Duty movement system and gameplay is shit, but they just keep following that progression.
