1st for PS4 > X1

The visor looks weird without the hexagons now

>no hexagons
>just like that, it's more visually appealing than every other 343 helmet
Makes you think

Placed a preorder for HW2 back in August. Now Xbox Live is demanding another payment from me. The absolute fuck?
Hellcat is ancient human doe
Should combine the two for Halo 6. Knights have all the abilities they had in Halo 4 (translocation, rapid tele-stepping, long-jumping, hover-jumping, same level of shielding, etc.) on top of being as resistant to weapons fire as they are in Halo 5.
Put some shots on the guy then.
That cheeve was the second most bullshit one in Halo 4. Mostly due to people either not clumping up or not being damaged prior to the dethfield activating. The pulse grenade is quite skill-based to use effectively, but once you get used to it...
The most bullshit one was that stupid 'get a kill in an airborne warthog' achievement. If the hog is airborne you're doing it wrong.
Forerunner trilogy explained a decent amount of it though.

What helmet? Best ive seen in the game.

Pilot, I think.

Leave Veeky Forumslo to me!

Because it's not a bungie game

Not bungie

Neither is Fable 2 you landwhale cunt.
Or Halo Wars either.

Ugh. Can't even look at it.
Way to take a great map like Lockout amd just... Ugh!

Huh. Good point.
If I had my way, it would go back to being Bungie Edition. Custom Edition sounds dumb.

It works better as an oil platform than a Forerunner containment lab desu

bungie edition has been changed to custom edition. I'm thinking we might as well include clips that are Halo related so we can just focus on Halo 5 solely for when THE /HG/TAGE V is ready to accept clips. So if anyone has any Halo 4/Spartan Ops clips they want to submit. They can feel free to.

I may just remove the subtitle altogether but I think custom edition does highlight what I want regarding submissions.

>You are currently browsing /hg/ thread #277.
>The featured map is "Bad Lockout with bad Physics"
FTFY

Who cares. The cage is better than both of em.

Dude, I love reach but the cage was garbage

the fuck did t b h get changed to japanese slang
I liked the Cage in objective modes. And in Infection pre-patch (before all the camping zones had softkill barriers put on them).

Had 7 friends over the other day.
2 360s, 8 controllers, reach customs.
Had an unexpected blast.

Forgot how much fun Spire is.

>Dumb hexagonal patter on the visor
>Dumb light on the brim of the helmet

Why does 343 ruin everything?

Incompetence.
It's not like they're doing it on purpose

>yank me cheif
What did she mean by this?

Somebody made a Spire prefab in H5G. It's too tall for most -canvas- maps, the top floor being above the invisible barrier of the level.
I wonder if we'll see any Spires in HW2?
Decoupling her from the local mainframe.

best helmet? best helmet.

>they didn't just modify the face to also make a Halo 3 version

I voted bungie but under the condition that Halo 4 not be allowed.

If it is, then I'd rather have no subtitle at all

As a UNSC Army commander, how would you go about neutralizing this target?

WHERE ARE ALL THESE NICE PROMO SHOTS FROM AND WHY CAN'T I FIND ONE FOR OPERATOR

I would surrender

Reminder Halo General Company gets unbanned on the 15th

Oh duh, it was on their twitter feed.

What even restricts a company when banned? Not able to recruit and that's it?

>Army
>against a superbattleship that can fuck off outside of shorebased arty range and proceed to skullfuck everything with NINE FUCKING 16" TRIPLES
>Army
>meaning no navy assets, even if the Orion assault carrier is stated to haul Troopers around
>Army
>meaning all they have in terms of air assets are Pelicans, Albatrosses, and Falcons

You're a cunt.

Don't think it does anything, actually

Thinking of having a Master Chief Collection party on Friday.
This would be a good final opportunity for a lot of people to get clips for Sweaty's montage.

If you're interested and know for a fact you can make it, send me a message on Xbox so I can save you a spot. If we are not already friends, send me a request as well. Also, make sure your NAT is set to open on your Xbox console. MCC is a very picky game about that.
Please only send a comfirmation message if you know for a fact you can make it and plan to play for at least an hour. I'm thinking 8PM eastern standard time for starting at the latest.

is it time for time force?

I have work until 11 est but can stay up fairly late if anons will keep the game going

Message sent.
Looking forward to it.

We could start an hour later but that might be discouraging to our glorious leader and other Eurobros.

Either way if it's still going when you get on there should be space at that point.

sent ;)

Can Halo Wars 2 just fucking come out already

I have nothing but immense hatred for Halo 5 now

Havnt been on here since last July, dropping in to see if halo wars is looking any good.

Anyway about the time I was leaving there was a shitstorm going on between the leaders of Spartan company, can't even remember their names now.. What happened with that?

Also did you guys end up getting Achilles? How long did that take

...

Kai is leader, Wizards got us banned on waypoint for two weeks, one week left, doesn't affect anything. Still bickering and drama. Did not get Achilles helmet yet. Don't care tbqh.

FUCKING 343 REEEEE

>excluding Halo 4/Spartan Ops
>but includes CEA/SPV3/2A/PC/HW
Just say you absolutely hate 343 with passion my man.

>343 cant even stay consistent

See, these posts are funny because what they're attempting to do is make it look like hexagons prior to 343 were anywhere near as prevelent and noticable as during 343.
It's essentially 343 apologizing at its core.

>hexagons aesthetically look fine because they contrast the rest of the game that isn't filled with hexagons
If the bubble shield was in 5 it would just be more of the same.

GOD DAMMIT BONNIE I'M GONNA FUCK YOU UP

>I FOUND SOME MORE GUYS!
Cherry picking at its finest

You're only proving his point. If that was a 343 room, the floor, ceiling, and walls would be covered in hexagons.

FRANKIE YOU BALDING FUCK

Pretty much.
I actually enjoyed the hexagon meme until appologists hijacked it and tried to turn it into anti-bungie propoganda

Pretty much

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>If that was a 343 room, the floor, ceiling, and walls would be covered in hexagons

SIX SIDES!!! SIX!!!!

>ITT: Cherrypicking
Do appologists really want to play this game?
It's not even close.

Bringing it on fucker.

>on the walls
>on the floor
>on the cieling
>on the holograms
>on the armor
>on the weapons
>on the vehicles
>on the box art
Do you think 343 realizes what they're doing or do you think they worship hexagons?

I respect your posts but you're fighting against Sigmund and Friends, I'd just give up user. You're already lost if you don't think 343 overuse hexagons

>posts 343 images in a pic that's supposed to defend 343
Wew

Sweet jesus look at all those perfectly shaped hexagons, my head hurts!!

There's a descrepancy on both sides.
Hexagons have always been prevelant in Halo. They've always been used. So anyone saying they're a "343 thing" is misinformed by the meme.

At the same time, the idea that 343 didn't go into overdrive with them is simply false. It's a night and day difference.

>we have to cherrypick the places in Halo 3/4 that don't have hexagons just like we have to cherrypick the places in the bungie games that do have hexagons
Keep digging that grave, user

Stop responding to him.
Everybody knows hexagons went into overdrive in the 343 games. He knows it too.
Rule number one is you don't bite the bait.

>implying i'm defending 343
Maybe you should consider to stop calling others "343 appologist" when you're making retarded claims and losing arguments.
Hexagons have been present since forever and that's a fact, they were in Halo 2, more present with Halo 3 thanks to being able to add more detailed textures and stuff, and even more with Reach/4/5.

It's pretty funny to see all of you get so triggered after seeing the most perfect shape in nature and engineering.

If by night and day it's like sometime around noon and somewhere around 6 o'clock, sure

Iv'e started making a mega image of only halo 5 hexagons. It's already bugger than the one that has all those bungie (and some 343) hexagons combined.
I'll post when i'm out of space.

>implying i'll ever get tired of proving you wrong

This.

>this desperation
Nobody here has made the argument that theres no hexagons in the bungie games.
We are just pointing out the fact that they're far more used in the 343 games. So i'm not sure what you're getting so triggered about.

So you agree. They're more used in the 343 games than the bungie games.
Case closed.

STOP. RESPONDING. TO. 343. SHILLING.

For God's sake if you know you're right, then why argue? On the internet?
For Christs sake.

Noice, congratulations for your effort on demonstrating what everyone already knows.

I do agree, yes.

The point is that hexagons WERE NOT on UNSC gear in Bungie's games.

Fucking dumbasses.

What the fuck, dapper

What a shit reason to ban someone

Dude come on, i'll stop posting pics if you stop making these retarded claims.

What did you post?

Now tell me where Hexagons are all over UNSC gear in Bungie's games. It's fine on Covenant gear because it's all alien shit.

Why put it on the visors? What's the point?

That one wasn't me. Probably a false flag.

Yup, definitely a false flag

>Posting equipment that was ported from an earlier game where it was alien tech

Ladies and gentlemen, our company brethren

What the fuck is wrong with this company?

I hate you faggots

>threatening physical violence
>this man wanted to be leader

Unmasked the culprit of the not-meme

I dunno, bungie probably thought it looked cool on elite's visors and then 343 probably thought it looked cool on spartans as well.

Still UNSC my friend, first it was "no hexagons on bungie games", then "no hexagons on pre-Reach games", then "no hexagons on human stuff", then "no hexagons on non-reverse engineered stuff", this is never going to end.

I'm sorry that you're retarded, user

You're just as retarded as him for continuing this argument

Nice argument buddy.
