I remember buying the special edition solely because I thought the arbiter art looked cooler than the Spartan art.

The absolute madman did it, he actually remade Forge World.

I never play card games
How do these cards work? Are they one use? Is their a benefit to having multiple?

Neat

>Are they one use?
Haven't played the beta that much but as far as i know they're permanent. You can get duplicates for something but it would be nice if someone with more experience explained this stuff.

>Is their a benefit to having multiple?
Better chance to get one on your hand i guess.

Globalism usually exists in a lot of alien invasion fiction because in order to combat a global threat, it would make sense for a global government to have the easy organization necessary.

At that point the conflict against globalism usually changes to be more planetary. "Nations" tend to cease to exist.it's colonies vs home planets.

>The absolute madman did it, he actually remade Forge World.
Link?

fokin noice

Especially when there is taxation without representation.

No video yet but here's the forger's twitter.

Bunping this.
I'd like a downlosd link

He admits on twitter he had to downsize it a bit and there's not much effect space left to forge with without destroying the frame rate, but it's still a very impressive feat.

Not sure if much custom game use will come out of it due to that but it's impressive enough on its own.

I can't even imagine how great H6's forge will be.

This game should have been on PC at launch in 2008.

Even 8 years late, it still plays SO much better with a mouse snd keyboard.

It's fine, now if someone says they prefer to use FW natural ground/environment they can use the spot they want and delete the rest.
Personally i would love to see a Paradiso remake, i'm probably part of the 1% who actually liked that map.

Be glad it was ported at all you ungrateful prick.

Always loved me some iso

>Be glad it was ported at all you ungrateful prick.
Nobody should have to play an RTS with a controller.
That's just indecent

I'm certain the thousands who played back then were just in constant agony because their APM wasn't as efficient as it could be

If they played starcraft, yeah

>Reach CE anniverssry multiplayer
Why didn't they just re-release CE multiplayer?
That's what they ended up doing with MCC later anyway.

Their excuse was that they didn't want to divide the playerbase any further.

It makes sense, but if you're going to make a CE remaster, then make a CE remaster. Don't half ass it by making the multiplayer just Reach with a 3 shot magnum.

What did he mean by this?

i hope i'm not the only person who's been doing nothing but trawling the customs browser every night since it was introduced
10 matchmade games for placement each season and then it's back to customs

Meh

reminder for everyone to report off topic posts

Announcing reports will get you banned

that's a pretty clear statement of intent

Announcing bans will get you reported

He never said he actually reported him.

how do you report someone who is announcing reports, sages, etc? does it qualify as a rule violation even though it's more of a guideline and not a concrete global rule?

Same difference

I was paraphrasing from memory

Looks like the states are still there.
I wonder if it's just like the US absorbed the other two and changed the name.

And now 343i won't put it into H5G as a map on its own
>"oh you want Forge World"
>*posts link to download*
>"here you go"

Still a marvelous achievement, though, and I don't mean to demean the amount of effort and time expended on it.
Am I the only one that liked the Command and Conquer console ports?
Was that ever confirmed to be on Installation 03?
There's a difference between a republic and a federation, cunt.

an chillies never ever

I believe it was supposed to be in a Halo ring we had not visited yet

These small canyon structures are on multiple Halos therefore. I wonder what purpose they serve.

By 2552, the republic has had its individual state powers regressed to the point where it might as well be a federation.

Probably like Coliseum. A forerunner facility for combat training.

It's not that console RTS can't work, it's just why would you do that to yourself?

But coliseum is on Genesis.

Oh, baby.

Qould you like some helmet with your visor?

say that to my visor fucker not over terminal see what my happens

Well until now, that was the only way we could play Halo Wars.

But now people have no excuse to not play it on PC.

You don't want to mess with me.

Nigga believe me, I will fuck you up.

i bet u havent even saved the universe... from a w'rkncacnter

>But now people have no excuse to not play it on PC.
I only have a shitty laptop, so i have no option but to play on xbone.

You could excercise an option to make money and not be poor

What is he holding?
It creeps me out.

It looks like the bleeding metal skepeton of an artificial creature

I have the money, i'm just too lazy to build a good PC. Also i don't think HW2 and some extra pixels/frames are worth the money.

I presume it's the severed skull and spine of a Pfhor which are alien cyborgs

but is Marathon fun?

hooooooo boy

It's literally better than half life

Doesn't mean they can't have them in other places. It's pretty likely that the forerunners planned on having warriors stationed on every ring for protection, and these dude would need to stay trained.

What is you autist's obsession with forge world, seriously

I love it but I'm old as fuck

The story is a great mindfuck

I don't get it either, it was useless compared to later canvases

>I love it but I'm old as fuck
What does that matter? Chances are you're only like 25 and you're overreacting.

Unless you're actually old, in which case i'll appologize in advance.

Nah.
It's the best camvas, but we can do kore now.
The ideal mix would be Forge World in 5's forge as a starting canvas.

But that's irrelevant comlared to how much we can do with forge now in the long run.
5 still jas the best forge.

I didn't interpret that as an "obsessive" quote.

If they could only launch with the browser and forge at launch, I can only imagine how great some of the shit out there would be.

Here's hoping for H6

Hey

When he bans shooters, will you defend him?

i'd rather he ban himself

>banning shooters
I would be perfectly ok with this.
It would end the drought of samey AAA shit in every genere (seriously, fucking resident evil is a shoiter now even) and force devs to be more creative and explore other genres.

Plus I'd rather have Halo die because the government forced it to instead of 343 or whoever unning it into the ground

>I would be perfectly ok with this.

He really has no idea what he's doing, and i'm actually a little embarrased i voted for him.

Not enough to say i'd change my vite, because fuck that bitch, but Trump clearly is just winging it.

>trump bans shooters
>everything out now gets grandfathered in
>halo 5, titanfall 2, BF1 and CoD are the last shooter game released
>a large amount of normies drop gaming altogether
>games start becoming good again because they can't do the same shit over and over again

Let's go boy

This.
Let it happen.

A bew Renaissance of playformers emerges

Well I was about 13 when Infinity came out. Dad was a macfag so I got Marathon instead of Doom. Doom's endured better of course but Marathon still holds up IMO and has some fun custom scenarios.

Make vidya great again!

>i'm actually a little embarrased i voted for him.
At least you can admit it.

Well it's easy to admit something anonymously over the internet.

That's not old user.
You're just not a kid anymore.
Doesn't mean you can't still be young.
unless you're balding

Why is it the best? Because of the pre-made terrain? The terrain that everyone already made every single possible use of in reach?

Hell yeah he is.
I voted for him out of sheer "fuck the system" mentality. He wasn't a politician, he's an outside man. I'll still be disappointed if he's just as corrupt and out for money but it was worth the gamble and it will be fun to watch. He had undeniably the best presidential campaign we've seen in a long ass time, even with every fucking major group out for him to lose, even the CURRENT PRESIDENT (at that time, at least) being vocally against him he fucking won. You can't deny he's got charisma of some sort. I'm not embarrassed to say I voted for him. I'd only be embarrassed to say I was one of the non-voting cucks. Even voting for Shillary is better than that because at least you care for your nation to improve, even if you've let (((them))) misguide you as to where progression starts being harmful.

It's going to end uo costing us

FREEZE FAGGOTS!

POST THE BEST 1-FLAG CTF MAPS OR I'LL SHOOT!!!

>it will be fun to watch
Definitely the top priority for president.

>even with every fucking major group out for him to lose, even the CURRENT PRESIDENT (at that time, at least) being vocally against him he fucking won.
I fucking hate this uneducated meme.
The only reason Trumo was ever on the radar is because he recieved unprecendented air time during the primary season.
Every single rally was covered. Not as political news, but as entertainment.

He got literally hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertisement time, more than all other candidates combined.

So by the time they realized this and tried to shit on him, it was too late and it certainly doesn't make up for the good it did him in the primary season.

Personally I'd say we needed a modern recreation rather than a carbon copy, but not too different like Alpine is. A forge world 2.0, if you will. Larger, somewhat more varied landscape. Emphasizing some of the smaller locations that had a neat aspect to them. Like the areas just above the canyon, if they had been fleshed out into larger more intricate landscapes. Inside the huge cave could have been slightly smaller branching cave systems on the sides. The rocky end of the canyon by the cave could have been expanded into another mountain are similar to the Island. The Island's mountain could have been partially hollow so you can build custom interior caves, forerunner facilities, or a volcano. Make it easily forged into the original version, of course.

KEK has taken matters into his own hands, and will guide us through these times whether they be of ascendance or destruction.
