Which team had the best characters?

Alpha-nine, Noble team, or Osiris?

Blue team (books) > alpha nine > noble team > Blue team (game) > Osiris

Noble Team was actively useless and died pointless avoidable deaths.
Plus the only likable character was Jorge.

Likable is subjective

Johnson and Miranda died pointless avoidable deaths

>map packs
>maps range from mediocre to pretty damn good and are all original

>"""free""" DLC
>maps are all mediocre and/or are the a map already in the game but slightly altered

really fires the neurons

Paid map packs splinter the player base and effect the longevity of the game (won't be playing those DLC maps too often that only a fraction of the players bought after the population drops)

Don't get me wrong I appreciate the higher quality but it's not really worth it. Also, 343 is NEVER removing req packs or microtransactions. So we'd be having that alongside paid maps if they ever returned.

>weeb shit killed /hg/
Kek

So at what point did Halo become shit? I feel like it was some time between 4 and 5. And even then I'm being generous to 4.

Reach started the decline then 4 caused Halo to go into free fall

It was somewhere between 4's launch day and MCC launch.

>it's not really worth it
Yes, it is. Always.

Halo is not "shit"

>go through all the halo 3 maps
>firefight keeping Reach relevant in the number count even longer
So I guess Reach actually has MORE maps than Halo 3? I say this because I always poked fun at how few maps I thought it had.

Reach has 20 non-firefight maps. This is also assuming you count forge world as only one map, but even if you do, that's only 4 maps less than Halo 3's total including both mythic map packs.
Firefight adds another 9 maps which puts Reach ahead.

>Brutes that low
I guess some people just don't appreciate superior technology.

Brutes use dated tech even by pre-reclaimer arc UNSC standards

>that jackal that sits on top of the clip and snipes

Or in terms of just covenant

THE PACK WILL FEAST ON YOU

Would it be OK of I shared halo 5 pictures and videos (I took). They would be action, themes, backgrounds, glitches, funny, etc.

I don't understand why you felt the need to ask permission, no one hear can stop you from posting

Can somebody dump Halo: Uprising?
I know it fills in the gaps between 2 and 3 (which are axtually 3 months apart) but I've never read it.
I want to see how it fares compared to escalation.

Blue Team

He was being polite, user

Truth

>brian michael bendis did a halo comic
holy shit

Delta Squad.

Blue Team > all

So I just finished Halo 4.
Holy shit, what a fucking terrible main villain.

...

Why do you think he got vaped?

Course correcting from fan feedback

That molten/tyrant match has gone back and forth like 5 times now

Good answer, but this guy already stated the answer. The question was rhetorical.

It's over, Tyrant!
I am the map we're fighting on!

He has two thumbs and they make it look like one thumb, god I hate Escalation.

In this hour of victory, I ask why.

But wouldn't the metal structure over the lava be Molten? And the one on the space rock be Tyrant?

...

Bendis was a mistake

Bendis? You mean the writer? The comic book writer? Bendis?

Now that cross compatibility is a thing, is halo 3 dead or not? thinking of cranking out some MP on my xbone

your shit taste was a mistake

Halo 3 is about to become the most populated halo game again.
It will be in the top 10 most played XBL games.

Press X to doubt.
There's a new CoD coming out, so that'll probably last until then if at all.

So I just finished spv3.

Holy shit, the sound the grizzly makes when you fire the cannons is underwhelming as fuck.

It's not going to pull old H3 numbers and WW2 will absolutely do better, but it will be a top 10 most played XBL game and it will have a higher population than Halo 5, Wars 2, and Reach combined.

It won't beat COD, but everything he said is likely to happen.
The current college crowd (18 - 22) has a fuck ton of nostalgia for Halo 3.

Hey you guys, you may be made about this, but since Halo 2 Anniversary and Halo Wars 2 art was done by Blur and the outside team. Halo 6 will have the art style of Halo 4 and 5. Well at least there's a chance we'll get black undersuits, right guys?

Halo 6 is prerty clearly being taken back to the drawing board in order to have a more nostalgic feel to it. Everything we know about the game indicates and supports this.
I'm not saying it will have a H2A/HW2 art style for sure, but I doubt it will look exactly like 4 and 5.

They've already said they're considering black undersuits, but they also said that Cortana died in 4 and that 5 was going to be the greatest hunt in gaming history.

I honestly think HW2 is the style they are going to use going forward. 343 was very involved in the story and design monitoring of that game. I think like in HW2 we will see a more classic look for covenant and UNSC but the forerunner stuff will all be the newer metallic shapeshifting stuff.

>5 was going to be the greatest hunt in gaming history
STILL MAD!

True, with the art style it reminds of Metroid and Metroid Prime, Nintendo has an art style for both Metroids and Microsoft has an art style for both Halos.

I remember Jeff Easterling stating that they didn't use the H2A/HW2 models because it was from a two different teams not 343 themselves like the Halo 4 and 5 Elite models were.

It's fair to assume enough time has gone by inbetween games that some staff has switched up. Between Halo 4 and 5 it was in the campaign department. It could be the artists this time.

It will get to the 5-10 spot, remaining there for 1 week until people realize they don't like Halo in general anymore and then the population will plummet. It definitely won't do nearly as good as Black Ops 1 did. Better enjoy it while it lasts, hopefully i'll find some custom games in LFG.

Screencapped. Can't wait to post after a week has gone by and it's still utterly crushing Halo 5.

Don't cpunt your chickens before they hatch, user.

Trust me user, i hope that's the case and Halo 3 will remain huge as fuck for months to come but i know how real life works.

>claim to know how real life works
>out of touch with real life
Really gets the grey matter flowing

We'll have to wait and see
