Happy Halodays /hg/

And by that I mean Christmas

Also send me gold packs

post gt fag

But really, send me gold packs

really makes you think

BLUE ASS

>I'm not a whore
>Send me gold packs
>Posts in /hg/

Fuck Trump and fuck christmas

What are you doing right now, /hg/?

Give them to me I NEED Centurion

I heard halo 5 has grind, is it the kinky kind or the destiny kind

Shite m8

sitting in bed awake at 3:45 AM while it snows outside, posting in this thread

Alright got one set

Destiny kind, because of it running on the crates system

There's literally no grind when it comes to normal halo gameplay in arena.
If you care a lot about cosmetics then there is a grind.

It's the 700+ hours "I am wasting my life on this shitty game for better looking armor polygons and OP weapons and vehicles" kind

I got lucky, and got juns armor and locus set. Locus, helm is still bae as fuck.

You have gold pack?

Are you trying to trick me?

I don't care I'll take that chance

Wizards0nly

pls

Locus looks ugly. Doesn't look like a halo helmet at all. That my main issue with 99% of 343 armors.

And yes, I know it technically IS a halo armor. But c'mon.

COPPERHEAD OR HELLJUMPER HELMETS NEVER EVER

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Locus has a look of a metallic skull, sure as shit beats trying to unlock the helljumper. WHICH I STILL DON'T FUCKIGN HAVE!

>they aren't finished the REQ grind

s m h

THAT IS NOT HOW YOU EAT 'ZA

YOU USE A FORK LIKE A NORMAL PERSON

Same here, only I mean Holidays.

*ahem*

/hg/ is a Christian general, if you don't like that , well then you can just leave.

Worse than Destiny. Destiny inflates the common armor's stat drops over time so it's easier to reach the maximum levels. 5 does the opposite, inflating the REQ pool and making it even harder for new people to get what they want.

>I heard halo 5 has grind, is it the kinky kind or the destiny kind
It's a terrible grind, but really only if you care about armor.

Because this has been our logo for many years, new fag.

I kekd

...

Too bad that Cortana has a butter face

Only ingame. Not in the BLUR cutscenes.

Blur Cortana is exactly what I was talking about.
Nice body but terrible pig nose

Both blur Cortana and 2A Cortana have ugly faces

Still too much halo 3

kill yourself my man

Got an ETA on when you'll be done?

>implying it'll finish

IT'S EITHER AN A PRESS OR NOT, THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A HALF

Isn't Halo Online dead?

Can I play the Master Chief Collection online multiplayer, in split-screen with 3 players from the same console?

I think so? Never actually tried it

Yes

Yes but you'll need internet connection, 3 extra controllers and a xbone.

that's what I was hoping for, Thank you guys.

>tfw I got centurion hours before the January update
>tfw I now use Mark IV

Mark IV is the best

That's a funny way of spelling Icarus

Post webms.

Halo Wars: DE flood mod when?

Not soon enough

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is this is going.

G- guys..?

Halo Online is dead.
Plus it's not a community project

>Yes but you'll need internet connection
No you dont.
You can play it offline

even though i like the odst chestplate a lot, i'm glad they didnt put it in halo 2 anniversary because it shows they were respecting the original art style
unlike halo ce anniversary where everything was just replaced with reach assets

...

10/10 coding, 343

He asked for multiplayer online you idiot.

>343

>Rushing to 343's aid that quickly
Halo 5 might not be as bad as the haters say, but appologists will always still be fucking disgusting

>343

343 isn't making Halo Wars 2.

>missing the point
>proving his point
At the same time. Wew

Then let idiots be idiots
You don't have to rush to 343's defense simply either way

How could 343 code for a game they aren't making?

The point was that just because 343 isn't culpable, you don't have to be first in like to suck their dick.
It was pretty obvious

Not an argument

LOL MEMES

>Warzone
No thanks

I find that with bi breaks I can find the odd warzone game enjoyable, but there's nothing more annoying than being in a big customs lobby and the leader puts us into a warzone match

This so much.
The only good part of the game are the forge and customs. Why would you throw that away for warzone? My guess is the leader probably wants to grind reqs

If you're invested in the grind, warzone becomes essential.

Beyond that thiugh, you're right, it's not worth your time

...

I'll try spinning, that's a neat trick!

Someone did an AI test about a year ago and found that the CE AI actually had better situational awareness than 3, 4, and 5.
They couldn't test 2 AI for whatever reason. Something about the code being wierd

Not surprising.
I used to do a lot of work with Custom Edition map making and molding back when I was like 14-15ish. CE AI, particularly the elites, work in a way with their environment that I don't see in even most games today.

It's not so much that they're that "smart", it's more the way they interact with the boundaries around them. They have very good understanding of walls and lines of sight.

Situational awareness isn't hard to code though. It's mostly just increasing the range of when the AI knows you're around. Think of it like giving them a radar.

Bungie intentionally decreased awareness in later games to make the AI less difficult individually. Keep in mind that later games can show more enemies on screen though.
