Do hogs still work?

>he voted for Trump
>he likes Reach
Why do these two things always go together?

I have no recollection of this map.

It was a pretty forgettable DLC map that favored 1 v 1 and doubles play but it got released in the same pack as Skyline which does both those things better. As a result nobody remembers it.

Why would Mexicans vote for Trump?

Guys, this may be too much to ask, but seriously, can we not?

I'm watching Forard Unto Dawn. In the video games, there's a little picture of the gun you're holding in your HUD so you know what gun you're holding. The ideal that the actual IRL soldiers need to have a little picture of a gun they're holding in front of them is hilarious.

The EU was a mistake

oh shit the DVD is all scratched up and won't play

>15 threads from #300

OK, I tried cleaning the disc and using a different player, but it didn't work, so here's my review of the first 43 minutes of Halo 4: 4ward Unto Dawn
terrible, in a forgettable way. The lack of budget is hilarious too, they only had one Warthog, the scenes in the cryochamber are filmed to cover up the fact that they clearly only built one half of it, etc

the black chick was hot tho

Have you seen Nightfall?

no

I only played the first spartan assault, am I missing out if I don't play the second one?

>I only played the first spartan assault, am I missing out if I don't play the second one?
The second one has a better campaign, but it doesn't have co-op survival mode like the 1st one.

The only thing you're losing is the chance of unlocking achievements and earning more dedication points.

Spartan Strike has an interesting campaign taking place between 4 and 5.
Prometheans attack Earth and spartan IVs need to stop them.

The single player is improved from the first game and is less repetitive. But it's still nothing too special.

Is that the one with the orange creamsicle edgy skull Spartan

Yes

why are in-universe Spartans multi-colored now? I get why you can customize your own Spartan in multi-player, everybody loves to play dressup. But canonical Spartans are soldiers. Shouldn't they be more, y'know, uniform?

Cuz why not?

Because of 343's fantastic art designers and quality standards

Let's get this started, lads.

DEDICATED

...

>when you're thrown into a WZA match so bad that you can't even leave the spawn

Dead fucking game.

Just play Haah Waaw 2

2poor and 2dumb for strategy

BWWAAAAAAAAAAAANNN

THERE'S THAT GUARDIAN SONG AGAIN!

New Scarab SFX?

Last, best reason to play this god forsaken game.

why does he hvae CD players on his shoulders?

Uhmmn thats a SHE you shitlord

You see Ivan, when you go into battle with 2 sony discman music sound twice as clear.

Alternatively

Gee Bill, you're mom let you have TWO discmans?

>when this game's awful fucking spawns finally work out in your favor

Is Morph worth using?

Eh. First time I've used it, to be honest. I like how you have a better FoV than you do with longshot though.

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/Definitive Edition
>Halo: Reach
>Halo: The Master Chief Collection (excluding Halo 4/Spartan Ops)

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=sh3KQb9dU4c
youtube.com/watch?v=fofX-OITWMw
youtube.com/watch?v=Bj0swJRlm5g

To submit a clip, either reply to this post with the xboxdvr/thehostyouuse link or message that link to "Sweaty Towels" on waypoint. The deadline to submit clips is March 1, 2017.

I have a couple of shitty clips but they're not on my DVR anymore, where can i upload them for you?

I'm going to fucking shit on my disc and mail it to 343.

Do whatever the fuck you want and then leave the thread.

It doesn't really matter what host you use as long as I can get the original content that wasn't edited. Mega, YouTube, Onedrive, etc. I would just need the link so I can download it.

Nah, sweetie. :)

What crawled up your ass, mate?

I'm assuming you will be willing to do some editing for the clips?
A lot of MCC clips tack on the menu at the end when you go to record

To be fair, I've been complaining a lot tonight. But clips of shittiness of Halo 5 are as good a way to bump the thread as any.

Holy fucking shit

>tfw 300 soon

So just so I'm clear, when it says /hg/ thread 300, it's speaking specifically to this iteration of /hg/ that was resurrected after dying, right?

Is that the longest any iteration has gone?
How many times has the general been dead for a substantial amount of time?

>I'm assuming you will be willing to do some editing for the clips?
You can expect the same level of editing that was shown in the third /hg/tage.

>So just so I'm clear, when it says /hg/ thread 300, it's speaking specifically to this iteration of /hg/ that was resurrected after dying, right?
Yes. We have gone 285 threads since /hg/ restarted when Halo 5 was coming out.

>Is that the longest any iteration has gone?
I believe so. Over a year of constant activity is impressive.

>How many times has the general been dead for a substantial amount of time?
I believe this is currently /hg/ 3.0

>Yes. We have gone 285 threads since /hg/ restarted when Halo 5 was coming out.
I thought numberfag counted every /hg/ thread since 2012?

Nope, i think he started counting since the first thread a bit before Halo 5 was released.
/hg/ 1.0 lasted at least 200 threads and then died 5-10 threads after that.
/hg/ 2.0 didn't have numbering but i guess it's safe to say it had between 100-150 threads.

Are talking only 5 /hg/? Or 3 /hg, Reach /hg/, And 4 /hg/?

Don't forget to join the superior /hg/ SC, user

I went to theater to get it from the enemy POV this time just to make sure there's no ambiguity.

>boosting back
>not just boosting forward to get around the corner
You done fucked up, boy

>Corner
What corner?

1.0 was Reach/4
2.0 was TMCC
3.0 was 5

I'm not gonna lie, I put absolutely zero thought into that play. I just boosted and turned like a retard because I was caught with my pants down to such an extent.

You'd think one of the benefits you would have with a fixed, very low field of view would be implementing a parameter along the lines of "do not spawn here if the spawn area is within another player's line of sight and within a certain distance". But hey, I've never made a game.

Any idea if Warzone has fixed spawns or if it's just zones?

Post selected favorite DeLiCious maps

>Highlands
>Skyline
>Anchor 9
>Orbital

How'd I do?

Think it's just zones

Enjoy

Why do so many nostalgia shitlords hate on Halo 4 so hard? It had a fantastic campaign and by far the best story in Halo. It finally explored Master Chief as a character and gave him humanity. Cortana was also emotionally fleshed out and I really enjoyed the relationship between Cortana and Master Chief. In all honesty, I felt it was the best.

I think Halo nostalgia fans only hate it because they added sprint into the game and are afraid of change.

>Sagging shoulder guards
I will never get over how bad that shit looks, among many other terrible design ideas.

I hate it because I disliked it because I thought it was garbage

Dummy

BUT MUH NO CLIPPING ARMOR
>everything still clips anyway

>falling for pasta

[WAAAAAAAAAAWHs internally]

...

Didn't the HUD in FoD show an AR that didn't even exist at the time?

youtube.com/watch?v=61Nd6j9SXE4

...

Reach has the best version imho

>In Halo 4 the flashlights were just painted over

Shows that better graphics & more polygons don't mean shit without a good art direction

3 has the best visor, the rest either look like plastic or are covered in hexagons.

>That HAAH WAAW2 visor

That fuckin HAAH WAAW2 helmet in general.
Mark VI with tacked on vents wouldn't look too bad if they weren't giant fucking metal plates that didn't fit.

@Tabris

Cunt.

This.
There was a several month gap between each iteration. That gap between 2.0 and 3.0 might have been over a year.

JUST LET IT DIE

But then we would have no choice but to get rid of that bot.

???

/hg/ was dead for a LONG time between 2.0 and 3.0

There were multiple attempts to start it up again during the MCC days but they never stuck. It wasn't until just before Halo 5 launched that we got a thread that has stayed active to this day.

I would guess it will die again this year.

There's still customs servers

Let's add Halo to this list

Halo died in 2004

Halo died when Microsoft bought it.
