Memories

I hope Palmer never returns

So Adam West died, are any people related to Halo getting old and ready to die?

Chief and the announcer.

>LASO

Watch it without drinking

Why does the motion of the NPCs in Combat Evolved on the PC look so robotic? I never remember the game looking like this.

I hope everything introduced in Halo 4 and onwards never returns.

Just another thing that was lost in the translation
Enemies appear to "shift" into stationary place when they're done running around.

>2005: the year without Halo
Everybody must have been disappointed

E3 2017 - Halo: Gravemind

That shit is fake as fuck.

Shut up and let me dream.

Nice work on the OP, hopefully this e3 won't be shit

If they announce H3:A at E3, or ever, I'm going to drop my recreational nuke on 343i HQ.

Look at this kid that doesn't know how to have fun

How could they not have anything by now? Like not even a teaser?

Because they don't have anything

Well they did say several times within the past few months that they had nothing.
But if they did have a trailer, why would they show it BEFORE E3, where the point is to show trailers?

I meant, how could they not whip something up for E3 by now? You think with the lack of games the xbone has, microsoft would force them to tease the next game. Pre-rendered or what not.

CA probably will show a new HW2 leader, but 343 said they ain't got shit. After the fiascos that were MCC and H5's launches of crappy UIs, crappy servers, and lack of content, Microsoft is probably getting them working hard on 6 and tailoring it to the scorpio so it actually has splitscreen this time.

Is the fall of reach cartoon worth watching?

Fucking no. It has a few pointless retcons, and it leaves out the actual "fall of reach" part.

It's not awful, but it's not very faithful to the novel.

You don't even get to see the actual Fall of Reach. You only get up to the battle where Sam bites the bullet.

t-minus 60 minutes until the EA press conference

Apparently Bioware has something to show at the xbox conference

Halo 5: Andromeda, the Halo themed dating simulator where Chips becomes a woman and takes mtf sanghelli dick?

ME3 alternate ending where Sheploo gives up fighting the reapers to become a tranny and fight for trans rights. This act of progress touches the reapers so much that they call off their attack to aid transhep into cucking the galaxy.

I'd play it.

You'd play anything, you filthy slut.

anyone watching the ea conference?

No, because it's not on for another 21 minutes

That was out little secret, though.

You being a slut isn't a secret.

I'm going out so i can't.

What's with the ratio of loot drops from Firefight? Sometimes I get 3 gold and other times I get shit.

One user in another thread theorized that that they probably put together a quick CG trailer that gives away no specific plot details basically saying something like "The Halo story will continue on Xbox One, Xbox Scorpio, and Windows 10"

Those are commendation-based. Like, win 10 firefight matches. It's just they made no specific rewards like emblems or whatever and they just gave you gold packs.

>quick CG trailer
>it's all clips from Halo 2 Anniversary

It's horrible

NO PLEASE WHY

Well that what we come to expect from EA.

wew

I hope it's Judgement 2

>ywn get a game set during the pendulum wars

That opening mission in Gears 4 was fucking beautiful.

>Bullets ripping through body like a hot knife through butter
>Guy behind body is fine
Makes me think

God no. Butchers the book in every way possible.

>every possible way
It's more than 50% accurate to the book. That's still a terrible ratio, but your statement of "every possible way" is incorrect

I'm making fishsticks. Does anyone want to play Halo 5 later?

How later

In case anybody doesn't already know, EA Access is free until the eighteenth. I'm finally gonna play Peggle 2

Like 40 minutes from now? The oven just finished preheating, so it's another ten minutes to cook and I'll give myself some extra time to eat and do stuff.

Happy E3, everyone!

This is my favorite Halo 4 map

Halo 4 had some good BTB maps

Halo 4 sucks and now /hg/ is praising it, what is this?

Daybreak was especially good because the two bases were pretty close together but there was a lot of outer area where the weapons and vehicles were located.

This meant there was a healthy mix of CQC and long range firefights.
Standoff in Halo 3 had a similar feel.

I'm not saying it's my favorite Halo. It's just the one that's on topic right now. It's okay to admit things Halo 4 did right and what it did wrong. I don't agree with everything in pic related but it's a good compilation

Neither of us "praised" H4, I just said I like this specific map and that other user said Halo 4 had some good BTB maps, and it did. Almost everything by certain affinity in Texas is good.

but also the cycle is real

The maps were not even memorable. That alone makes it bad.

This map always reminds me of Reach.
Aesthetically, it looks to me like a map that takes place there.

Same here.
When they first showed it off I thought it was supposed to take place on Reach.

Not necessarily. I fucking hate 4, but I'd rather forget a map than hate it so much that I don't forget it. Like Haven.
Exile's a good map, but it's designed for 6v6 and Dominion, not big team. Also, only like three of the maps are actually made by the people with their name on the box and intro cinematic.

>tfw moms credit card

is there a chief version of this image

>tfw mom says fuck it and that i can just buy any food i want

Would be better if they actually had weapon pickups on them. But no, just ordinance BS.

This is the warning that Halo matches are about to start and you can't complain.

I love Act Man, but these ideas were just stupid.

m.youtube.com/watch?v=PJxdO2O7oug

Fuck, I wish they would just make Halo 5 non-canon.

Wait right now? In what game?

5

4 had good BTB, but that's really all it had

Right off the bat their prediction is wrong. 343 went out to say after Halo 5's release and criticism that the squad mechanic is staying and that's due to Tim Longo. going by Frank and Kiki's interview with Frankie stating that fans "loved" Blue Team and "liked" Osiris tells me that all of Osiris members are getting the boot so the story could focus on Master Chief's relationship with Blue Team and Halsey (the story that got cut from Halo 5) since remember this is supposed to be a more realistic, compelling human storyline compared to Halo 5.

...

Bad meme, Sigmund.

I'd be fine with it

Alright yall, here are the bingo cards for the Xbox event. Claim yours now by matching the last two digits of your reply to the numbers listed below the corresponding card.

>Drinking Rules
I'll be in a party with others drinking during the conference. I recommend a mixed drink like Whisky and Cola.
1. Take a sip any time the conference transitions to a new topic.
2. Take an additional sip any time you get hyped.
3. Take an additional sip any time you get pissed off or disappointed.
4. Most importantly, take a shot (or very heavy drink) every time you get a space on your bingo card filled out.
5. If you get a BINGO, finish your drink.

Thank you for making actual easy to follow drinking rules and not the usual "drink every time you hear [list of 50+ things]"

>that feel when cracking open a cold one with the boys imminent

That's gonna be a lot of cracks.
