>Halo 3 themed OP
>Reach themed map

You had ONE job

One day you'll run out of space

It's like the thread got cucked

halo 5 forge server browser for PC when?

It took them a while, but they finally made an invasion map where both attackers and defenders were balanced.

Shame it was DLC

This map always spooked me with those giant cables.

I wonder what they were for

Thursday

>inb4 all the datamined voice clips aren't in the update this week and are placeholders for the future

>and are placeholders for never

Is that a chocolate Harambe?

>tfw

>nut

THE /HG/TAGE IV: BUNGIE EDITION is currently accepting clips from these games.
>Halo: Combat Evolved/Anniversary/SPV3
>Halo 2/Anniversary/Vista/Project Cartographer
>Halo 3/ODST/Firefight
>Halo Wars
>Halo: Reach
>Halo: The Master Chief Collection (excluding Halo 4/Spartan Ops)

If you'd like to submit a clip, either reply to this post with the xboxdvr/thehostyouuse link or message that link to "Sweaty Towels" on waypoint. Use the past community’tages as a reference on what to submit. I’ll be looking for casual and competitive clips from the multiplayer and the campaign.

youtube.com/watch?v=Bj0swJRlm5g

If anyone needs me to record their clips from Halo 3 on the 360 then let me know. I'll be keeping my 360 with me for the next few weeks. if anyone wants to get achievements together on any 360era Halo then let me know, I have them all.

I do want to remind Dracohon that I could not download these two clips
xboxdvr.com/gamer/Dracohon/video/23863904
xboxdvr.com/gamer/Dracohon/video/23863931
So if you want them to be considered then you will need to provide a different host

where the fuck is the info for the new update wtf??

When it drops, the OP will be updated

It's gonna be posted on waypoint "later today". If not in 15 minutes, expect it tonight.

What time do they usually do it?

This is all you fucking get.

Sure, why not. This one was stupid.
xboxdvr.com/gamer/Chaosdroid 2/video/24253788

They've never done an update like this, usually the mid-week stuff is handled by vidya blogs who post their stuff any time between 9am and 12pm PST.

Releasing update details on tuesday isn't an usual thing to begin with.

This was the last Halo map ever made by Bungie

Depressing

...

I liked Chess.

>We Sorry now
Post Halo board games.

>sorry
kek
didn't even occur to me that the symbol resembled something other than a chess pawn

>when someone gets their /hg/ in your /sug/

I mean what the fuck.

They're posting some more voicelines.
CU soonish?

>Have to download the .wav
Just fucking do it like Unyshek did and let us hear it in the browser.

>Grunt mocking me throughout the match

We already know the patch is coming this week.

I've never been so conflicted about a purchase

>Has literally no effect on gameplay other than cosmetic stuff
>But I get rid of Sarah Palmer's voice

>there's space on my squad for you anytime
And now i'm depressed again. RIP in peace Alpha-Nine

I had to delete a bunch of screenshots on xbox because my game DVR was getting full, so I decided to save the ones I liked from campaign and am gonna post them here.

They never confirmed this week, they have yet to announce the livestream date.

>makes a Halo 3 themed OP starts off with a Reach map
Get out!

...

I miss Halo 1-3 art styles. So simple yet so beautiful.

...

>people will pay 343 money for this
>people will spend money on Halo 5 DLC

Haven't played halo 5 in a while, should I come back or is it still the same junk.

I really miss the Halo 3 style. Other than the human faces, I still think it looks great.

Oh you bet i will and it only makes me happier seeing you getting so mad about it.

>Haven't played halo 5 in a while, should I come back or is it still the same junk.
It's a lot more of the same junk

Update coming soon in like a week or two. High chance of reviving custom games.

...

It's really good but you can fuck off right now, we don't accept back deserters.

>Haven't played halo 5 in a while, should I come back or is it still the same junk.
There's more content, but none of it really does anything goes to extend or improve the longevity of the experience.
Same old shit.

>thinking Bungie wouldn't have done this if the framework existed back around Reach

They're not doing a livestream. There will be blog posts today and tomorrow about the update.

...

Bungie Pro says hi.

Bungie gave us alternate voices in Reach at launch... for free...

So no, I don't think they would do this.

...

But i want a comfy christmas livestream like last year's, this is bullshit.

For one mode.

Appologists will pay out the ass for anything 343 does.

But considering most of the community has left the game completely, they're in a small minority.

I'll get back into the game when the custom browser launches, but I will never buy paid DLC in Halo 5, nor will most

...

>For one mode.
Just like Halo 5.
Only Warzone can't be played offline.
And it can't be customized.
And it can't be played offline.
And it can't be played with more than 1 person on TV.

But lol, fuck reach, amirite?

>this upset
Man, how fragile is the ego of a Reachfag?

...

At launch. For Free. Offline. In Split screen.

It's for both Arena and WZ modes.

Reach is my least favorite Halo game, but nice projecting bud.

Stay salty.

>And it can't be customized.
Neither could the ones in Reach?

It's actually for arena as well.
But you're right about everything else, which is a much bigger deal

...

You can customization Warzone and play it offline!
Wow! I had no idea!

Are people actually defending the paid DLC?

Whatever, Reach firefight was shit anyway. ODST Firefight was better in every way and had no customization.

...

It's probably just one or two guys. Good chance that it's dew.

Bungiefags are fucking disgusting, i love how all you conveniently forget when Bungie charged you for extra space on your file share or download theater clips on your PC, same shitty grimy concept.

>I-It's okay when Bungie does it!

No, but people actually believe that Bungie would have never done this after Destiny's DLC shitshow.

>Whatever
Kek
>Reach firefight was shit anyway.
And what does that make 5 """""firefight"""""? Because it's even worse.

Unfortunately.

There's no livestream, update is thursday.

...

I can confirm that it's at least 3 and 1 of them isn't Dew, but nice try faggot.

>No, but people actually believe that Bungie would have never done this after Destiny's DLC shitshow.
Oh absolutely. Neo bungie a shit. No argument from me on that. Old bungie is dead but was infinitely superior to 343.

>b-but halo 5 is bad too so that means reach is okay after all

>doesn't affect the game
>literally just something so you can have the dude from Firefly do the narration
I really don't see an issue.

>I can confirm that it's at least 3 and 1 of them isn't Dew, but nice try faggot.
So what are the three of you in a chat where your echo chamber is appreciated? Pretty pathetic

And that's the end of Halo 2. Halo 3 is the only other game I have screenshots for, but they're my favorite ones.

>old bungie invented the modern concept of DLC
>and charges a subscription fee to make your file share bigger
>but they would never nickle and dime their customers ever

Old bungie wasn't that great.
They did misleading advertising, they condescended to fans, they did tiny paid dlc and other crap.
Paid voice pack is still shit though.

...

"Old" Bungie charged for map packs and split playlists

It's the principle of it. People can of course but whatever they want.
But 343 campaigned on free DLC, every release of which would have resulted in a huge pushback if charged considering it has all been recycled assets, forged maps, and different colored weapons that hurt more/less.
Now we finally get something a bit unique, probably made from the ground up post launch, and it's 10 fucking dollars.

...

>Old Bungie invented the concept of DLC
Ok, you're just being retarded now

>"Old" Bungie charged for map packs and split playlists
Old bungie gave away every Halo 2 map for free and multiple Halo 3 maps.
And all of those maps were original, not just Remixed of launch maps. Sit down.

Did you also complain about the HCS packs?

>"Old" Bungie charged for map packs and split playlists
All halo 2 maps were released for free eventually and no Reach maps were ever necessary. Crack a book before shitposting next time.

...

>implying voice pack won't be released for free eventually

>a simple Google search will show you how much DLC predates Halo 2, all of which was made free btw.

Name one game that did DLC map packs before Halo 2.

>Old bungie gave away every Halo 2 map for free
Only after a period of time where they cost money.
>and multiple Halo 3 maps
Literally 4 maps, one of which being a (shit) remake. The other 12 maps still cost money to this day.
>And all of those maps were original
There were a bunch of remakes across Halo 2 and 3, and a bunch of the maps had reused campaign settings and assets.

I'll post some of mine if you don't mind.

These voice packs could hardly be considered actual content to be honest, that's why i don't really mind this DLC at all.
The moment they start charging for content with actual impact on the game or even worse, charging for the type of content that used to be free, then that's when they can officially go fuck themselves.
