>art
Makes the map look much better than it actually does.

>play Infection for the first time

WOAH WHAT THE FUCK
ITS ALRIGHT

Of all the CE maps to remaster, why did they choose this one?

>Of all the CE maps to remaster, why did they choose this one?
Probably because it's a small map and takes less time/resources to make

Most likely because the nice verticality was well suited to Reach.

For better or for worse...

That's true

Too Big when?

Do you mean when will we get a Too Big remake or when will it be the featured map of the thread?

If it's the former, probably never. It's a PC map which are mostly forgotten and the name is confusing with CO'343's Infinity, the ship.

If it's the latter, then soon I'm guessing. Numberfag is onto the PC maps for the Halo CE rotation and there's only like 5 or 6 of them.

>that last thread

Hello humans, i am the Reaver but you may also know me as "What's this thing for?", "Mantis' ugly cousin" and "Oh shit here comes the condor". Say something nice about me.

Do you think the Infinity can go plaid?

You hard counter Anders

HW2 is good but i'm thinking a break from it to go back to GoW4 for a bit, seems like they're finally starting to care about Horde again.

Microtransaction cards ruined gears 4

Forget about the cards, they finally decided to spice things up a bit the Horde wave structure and enemies.

Alright maybe I'll check it out again

What'd they change?

gearsofwar.com/en-us/forums/e9b54fc61eb74ad783d533ca502b0132/threads/feral-horde-weekend-february-24th---27th-2017/29aa0f36-4946-4c34-9a86-c296cd9ab22d/posts

are the maps bigger and have fewer choke points? its shit fighting 12 year olds and auto turrets for a kill

What did Jon mean by this?

There's that one map with all the cars

So, the worst map?

A weapon to surpass Metal Gear.

Did you say Metal Gear?

>when you try to stay in your element but the discord brings you down to its level
It was a fun ride while it lasted.

Update for the 1v1 tournament: We still need one person. Then we have a full group of 16.
The season is going to start in late March. I'll announce a specific date soon.
If you have specific questions to ask, you can reply to me here or for more immidiate results, message me on Waypoint or XBL. I have the app on my phone so I'm notified when I get a message.

Based

Ree get back in here Red, I'll cancel the divorce papers

Hey guys, instead of octagon training, does anyone have a HEXAGON map?

I think it would be more appropriate

Why would you leave the discord? What are you a chicken? CHEEPCHEEPCHEEP!

Where is /hg/ live?
Texas fag here.

>Texas
Why do so many people in Texas play Halo

Canada

I went off the deep end and argued for no reason, which isn't like me.
I like the people, but the discord itself was starting to bring out a side of me I don't like and I don't think is very mature.
Being hungover probably had a bit to do with it, but don't worry, I'm not removing any friends or anything.
You're my number 1 autist, lemmings. Get working on that YouTube channel

Orion–Cygnus Arm, Milky Way Galaxy, Known Universe, Universe.

Back at the Barnyard was fuckin' trash.

No reason to leave over that, m8.
Backup has his drunk tirades every now and then, plus I don't think anybody takes stuff too seriously.
What will our gay children do without their big gay dads?

Yeah red, we all gotta be gay aliens together.

Florida reporting in.

Do the different Firefight difficulties change the credit payout for a win? Should I buy a bunch of bronze and silver packs to get "better" shit in my golds?

GAAAAYYYYYYY LMAO

legendary defo gives more than heroic and on weekends mythic firefight gives the most reqs if you can win it

What're the differences?

only differences are the difficulty
higher the dificulty the more reqs basicaly

Guadalajara.

>guadalajara
Damn, you like Gears?

>Waiting for literally anyone to play halo wars 1 with on PC

It'll happen eventually, right?

California here

Not as much as Halo.

>Why do so many people in Texas play Halo
Because Texas is filled with Mexicans

Help i keep having my shit pushed in by condors

I'll play with you once I'm done going through the campaign on legendary

Is Reach your favorite?

Halo Wars 1, fort deen 3v3 public game up, currently 3/6 players.

No, it's a tie between 2/3/5.

Build wolverines or mass infrantry if you're UNSC, banshees and reavers if you're Banished.

MASS
INFANTRY

I can believe it

>tfw you get paired with legally retarded teammates

Did they fire Brian Reed yet?

>not joining us for rush strats
That's what you get

>try to play 5 again
>It's still trash
I should really just post in the Titan fall general because that's all I play now

>titanfall
Dead gaem

TF1 was better.

>TF1 was better.
I know

I can deal with 5's multi when it's a customs night, but arena is just such a shit show and warzone is even worse.
And don't even get me started on the campaign.

That being said I'm completely buying into the Halo 6 is the chosen Halo meme. Something just tells me all the pieces are going to fall into place.

Is there any evidence that they have hired new people for the campaign team?

The ex-spartan ops team that did the guardians campaign I have zero faith in

What's the fastest way to rank up in reach?

>What's the fastest way to rank up in reach?
Score Attack, Big Team Battle, and Super Slayer if you're really good

snipers counter cyclops's, wew lad wish i knew that

>reach
>fast

wew lad.

What is this comment supposed to even convay?
It doesn't answer the previous user's question yet ut's not constructed enough to be a criticism.

Some of the promotional art made it look like Shipmaster was actually the main antagonist.

Holy shit I want that in my room

you don't level up in reach very fast

No, they promoted him. He's more in charge of the story now.

No, I am not joking.

Ah I see.

HOLY SHIT

>Master Chief
>simple stories
>split screen
>black undersuits

is 343 saving Halo?

Halo 6 is the chosen Halo game.
it will break the cycle and restore the series to greatness

I believe

Nathan should really just stick to voice acting

Maybe he is, maybe he's actually pulling the strings.the deepest lore

g-guys?

>Master Chief
Good character but his importance is overrated, the franchise has gotten way bigger than him and a Halo game doesn't really need him to be good (if you think his absence in 5 was the reason that campaign was so bad, you need to leave right now).

otaku trash

What?

Its literally impossible to win a 3v3 against AI because you can't communicate on the same level as the AI does.

Its fucking horseshit.

What do you mean?

Use blisterbacks from a safe distance, AI doesn't know how to deal with them most of the time.

>one of the AIs is Shipmaster
>It knows about the teleport cloaked Scarabs to enemy base tactic

It was fun to look at at first, but then it started to piss me off.

Yea and we can make a contest for this map most high. It'll be called Halo's Ultimate Consummate, or H.U.C. for short.

Would you say AI is harder than real human players? I've been playing nothing but Versus AI with the intention of preparing myself against humans.
