/hg/ - Halo General

It had its moments. A big failure was not having everything take place on Requiem, I think.

>not using this as the background pic

Gold Elite won.
At least he won on my canonical playthrough

Gemini is underrated imo.
It's probably a top 20 halo map

Words can't describe how happy I am that he got sacked. He can fuck off being a writer and get a new career.

...

It's fun until you play people trying to win. It was too easy to hold the outside of the map with those loud-ass doors.

you're running out of maps, aren't you

Reach BTB funtimes at 10 EST.

Looking like 4/15

Expect fucktons of arguments as to Noble 6's canon helmet amid rejoicings at Reed's death.

Should I apply, /hg/?

Yes. Worst game in the franchise.

How so?

What are the WORST entries in the Halo saga? Doesn't have to be games but in general

Uh 4/16, sorry.

Campaign wise, it was okay.

They gave us a big special planet but didn't do much with it, we were there for a few minutes and then left.
Spartan Ops should have let us explore it but most of that was just multiplayer maps

Halo 3, 4, and 5 still have a few maps left.
Reach is almost done.
CE has one map left.

You should do campaign levels afterwards.

>CE has one map left
Which is?
I'm assuming you left it as last for a reason.

Find me something more worthless than Halo: Initiation
I dare you

>tfw no PC Halo

the ODST book
all the karen traviss books
all the books not by staten/nylund
halo 5's story
halo 4's story
continuing chief's story after 3 altogether

Literally the best Halo is on PC

FALSE!

Based on stuff I've experienced in no particular order
Escalation
Tales from Slipspace (sorry storyteller)
Hunters in the Dark
Mortal Dictata
Halo 5.

>What is Halo CE
>What is Halo 2
>What is Halo Online

>What is Halo 5 Forge
>What is Halo Wars 2

But I want to Finish The Fight™

Forgot pic

>all the books not by staten/nylund
Even Broken Circle and Last Light?

I'm not a fan

Aw, why not?

>Mortal Dictata
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I hope someone makes a patched version of the original campaign that fixes the missing graphical effects and makes the hud in high-res

The only map left is Infinity from the PC release.
I didn't save it for any reason. I made sure to go through all the original maps first.

>you should do campaign next
Maybe

It's been done already.
You can download it at halomaps.org

It sucked, user, deal with it

TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

BIG

>Fixes to implement from Xbox to PC

Fix the issue with the shuttle bay door on A50 missing its off shader.
Fix the Longsword missing its multipurpose map.
Fix the missing shield flare for the Master Chief’s shields when recharging.
Fix Cortana not changing colors in Halo’s Control Center.
Fix issues with fog on several levels.
Fix some other graphical issues caused by the port from Xbox to PC.
Fix the off-center elevation markers inside the Sniper Rifle scope, and modify the Sniper Rifle scope overlay to look more like the Xbox version (namely, saying 10x, as opposed to 8x, for the 2nd level of zoom).
Attempt to fully fix the sentinel shield problem.

>the last CE map is too big
I love this place

Which is the better water shader?

Left obviously

>Dan Slott replaces Reed
>Superior Spiderman guy
I'm kind of OK with this

I like PC's water better, but Xbox has better textures. The PC textures tile too obviously.

I would consider some of those improvements, but I suppose your point stands.

It's a work in progress! So like I say, someday a dream for a perfect Halo PC campaign.

>attempt to fully fix the sentinals shield problem
What's wrong with it?

Scott hasn't been good since EotE.
Superior went on for WAAAY too long and his current run is just kinda boring.

I think the PC version actually looks more realistic than what the xbox has, those waves make no sense in that environment.

How do problems like this occur?
They're just transferring the whole game over to a different platform.

sentinals are cute

Calling reachfags: I know I'm an hour early but anyone wanna play campaign or whatever to relearn how to play?

Just remove motion sensor from Halo 5 because its obviously worthless and they don't want to make it better.

Oh fuck no. I can't sign into my GT on the 360 emulator

It's not that simple. Halo CE never had a campaign feature as it was primarily made for multiplayer so...

Renamon worked on porting the campaign to Custom Edition. The problem? The port was riddled with issues due to corruption caused by the process of extracting the assets from the retail PC edition, such as graphical corruption and AI not being able to throw grenades, and he/she never attempted to fix these issues. No one else has, either… at least for the stock campaign. Everyone loves to make modded campaigns (no disrespect, some of these modded campaigns are really good), but, no one has ever attempted to fix the stock campaign… until now.

There are also graphical errors left from porting Halo from the Xbox to PC in the picture attached. Also, the Anniversary/MCC version of Halo is built from the PC version and they only fixed *some* of these errors but not all.

Check your NAT type.
What is it?

Microsoft architecture is akin to 40k archeotech. The people that work on it are more akin to priests than programmers.
Imagine trying to decipher that.

I didn't realize I could redownload my profile, fixed it. Open NAT.

I gathered a few things from different sites on what broke/missing

lacks certain shaders, ie jackal shields, cov shields, dropship plasma, AR shaders
loss of shader_transparent_generic
missing multipurpose/bitmap maps
missing reflection masks
missing detail masks
broken blend modes
some script encounters are broken
broken fog
broken atmosphere effects
multipurpose/bitmap maps of bsps do not react with radiosity lighting
c_field_Generators broken

Actually we pushed it back to 10. I'm eating dinner, but I'll be on in a not too long after.

So basically there's no fog

Should have titled it "Why Wasn't This in the Campaign" Edition

It was fucking horrible

I say this as a huge fan of the franchise

That design is fucking disgusting.
There is nothing appealing about it

It's a better game than Halo 5 in every way.

CE couldnt be used on live you simple bitch it was only campaign

Does MCC just use the PC Version of CE?

And it doesn't look like a bird either

"Subspecies" is a shit excuse when it doesn't look like it could be even distantly related at all

Sure, I'm good to play

>Does MCC just use the PC Version of CE?
Yes, but it is heavily altered.

At launch it was literally just the PC version. It even had the sound effect notification when you shoot someone.

it's for the autists who go 'but dinosaurs are related to birds why didnt jurassic park stick feathers on everything'

www.halobugs.com/

MCC still does, it's just much quieter.

The campaign I mean.
Is the campaign the PC release?

Halo 2 also I guess.

Both MCC and CEA were based on the PC version.

Isn't it 930 eastern now? Also I seriously recommend it, Reach is so fucking alien compared to 5. 30fps and no sprint or thruster pack is hard to get used to.

The classic campaign for Halo 1 and Halo 2 are the PC ports, yeah. I doubt they would go out of their way to fix the graphical errors but thankfully fans are trying to.

The campaign is a port of the Anniversary Edition that released on 360, except upped to 60fps.
CEA is a port of the PC version.
Why they used that version as a starting point for CEA is beyond me. Maybe the PC architecture was easier to work with since gearbox had already done most of the transferring work.

Halo 2 is also the PC Vista port. It comes with all the crazy vehicle physics of that port.
The multiplayer for both games is also from the PC ports.
The multiplayer for H2A however is a molded Halo 4.

people are a rainbow of genetic features but they cant have feather?

>Why they used that version as a starting point for CEA is beyond me.

It's the most recent version and it's easier to work with.

There is a Halo Xbox restoration mod for Halo PC's multiplayer for those who want it as pure MLG competitive action as it can be.

>people ITT shitting on the fact that they used the PC ports for MCC and not the Xbox version
Really, Niggers?
You don't like the flamethrower?
You don't like 'Too Big'?

I appreciate them using the PC ports because I like the extras.
I just wish they cleaned them up a bit more.
H2 multi on MCC still uses the terrible PC spawn points for instance

The problem is that they didn't fix the bugs and errors and left it the way that is was

Kek really?

Reminder that Sidewinder teleporters were always supposed to be two-way - Gearbox got it right.

What is /hg/'s opinion on Destiny?

Things like the pistol's stats, weapon spawn times, weapon pickup locations/orientations and even map geometry all received minor "adjustments" (read: oversights) which negatively impacted high-level play. So, the competitive community never jumped ship to PC, but rather stayed on Xbox - even to this day there are LAN tournaments for H1.

>Reminder that Sidewinder teleporters were always supposed to be two-way Gearbox got it right.
That kind of breaks the map doesn't it?
If you can just waltz into the enemy base.

I think the fact that Avalanche didn't have 2-way teleporters reinforces the fact that Bungie never wanted them.

Are you telling me that Gearbox literally altered sidewinder?
