/hg/ - Halo General

Considering the previous one is closed now, probably soon.

>Making progress on the video.
Take your time. I'd rather it be great and have to wait a bit.

If you see this, Big Red; add me to halofest list you fug

you just get pinned to that one roof though
or razz around the map on a chopper, screaming at every grenade

No need to worry. I'm having fun working on it. I won't give a definite release date. It'll be out when it's out. I will say that I'm over halfway done as of now though.

Black Eye Skull makes you leave the vehicle though

>tfw no Halo 5: Master Chief & Friends Superstars Adventures in Dreamland

How do I download and practice the Halofest maps?

By far the best gamertag in /hg/
Wish you were on more.

We need to plan streams for this Saturday.
It's a good bet sweaty will get the Red Team stream on twitch again. We need one for blue too.

if Halo: Reach and Halo: ODST are my childhood wetdreams that i never got to play, would it be worthwhile to get a used XBOX 360 and buy them?
Is the multiplayer still active for Reach?

[blocks your path]

I can confirm that I'll be streaming again. I know fish would be able to stream too if he wants for red team and as far as I know, C0 Assassin should be able to stream for blue team again.

The xbone has backwards compat for Reach and is getting ODST at an unmarked date.

Thanks, I'll be on more due to the recent update and hopefully play with /hg/ again.

Nice

oh fuck, really? source?

don't buy an xbox one
just get a 2nd hand newer model 360
pic related doesn't happen with them, but it does with the older models (something like a 30% rate)

Reach is alive and well as long as you're in the main playlists (Slayer, BTB, Infection, etc.). 360s are dirt cheap nowadays. If you wanna play them, I say go ahead. Do know that Reach is backwards compatible on the Xbox One, and ODST will be soon and that the people in this thread usually talks in Xbox One parties even when playing 360 games.

...

What's this halo fest thing?

Two teams compete in a variety of gametypes for glory, fun, and shitposting. First time was a close match between red team & blue team with the score 2-3 and the final match coming down to a score of 49-50. Second time a lot of people showed up, cancelled, and so on. Teams were unbalanced, and the map Eagle Square became infamous. Three is more planned out after the host THE ONE BIG RED received criticism for how the second one was handled. All in all, it's for good fun.

When will it take place?

So does anyone want this Gold pack? Come on it's free reqs

English should be above the moon desu

This Saturday at 2 PM PST/5 PM EST
If you want in, contact THE ONE BIG RED on Xbox Live or Discord to see if there are any slots left.

This would be fun to watch and meme to.

>that night that blue team proved wall pulled shit

These "tournaments" are a mistake.

>spartan 4 reactions
wooow what a craaaazzzyy character this locke guy is, getting smacked in the face with his own rifle!

...

Show me the proof. Blue team never provided any. All we saw was Wall being shit. Being a bad player != sabotaging the team.

>several points of wall throwing grenades at teammates with no enemies around
>this somehow did not count

...

>even 343 knew their shitty OCs couldn't stand a chance to The Chief

Can you add CDR to this list? he's such an annoying fucking faggot holy shit

literally cannot shut the fuck up

But I lkike CDR

Show that this happened repeatedly. When I watched the streams, all *I* saw were a few poorly placed grenades that amounted to Wall being shit at Halo, not any inherent maliciousness.

Action genre

Something something something intentionally throwing the basketball to red team thereby costing blue team the match

>intentionally
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

The show called the babysitter showed Cal with superman like reflex just to protect the odst. from the grunt. I honestly don't know if this fight made them weak despite the Spartans being concluded.

>tfw no ringworld videogame

He shouldn't have copied halo

So I cancelled my Live and will probably be selling my Xbox and other consoles within the year. If you haven't already made me, remove Colonel Crude from your to do list.

Nah. You're already in, and I don't wanna rerecord shit

...

Also, Godspeed, Crude. You will be missed.

Thanks, I was kind of hoping I'd made it. Something to hold on to.

But why?

Because I'm terrible with time management and had to chop a few hobbies to actually be able to enjoy them all and start with self-improvement stuff. I don't wanna make too big of a deal about this. All my data's still there in Microsoft's servers, in 8 months or so I'll probably buy a used One X and come back. It's been....good these last few days. I've made lots of progress I things I would put off because gaming was easier.

Hey, this sequence might not be final, but know that you're in, bud. Hope we see you around again one day.

Damn user this looks epic

I'm so hype for this

We will miss you, bud. I understand. Maybe keep the Xbox app on your phone so we can message you every now and then (no homo). Hoping to see you back one day.

This is how it's probably going to be. Obviously if a significant number of people just don't make it, things are subject to change, but until then, this is what will likely happen. All of the people listed here have in one way or another confirmed and then rearfirmed their attendance. You'll notice each team has nine players. That means we are going to have to alternate. No one player can sit out twice, meaning you will have to strategically decide who sits out which match. So if you can't play strongholds to save your life, you should probably let your team know that before they decide to have you sit out breakout instead. The overtime 1v1s are not effected by this rule. As I said earlier the next time this happens we will probably do a draft instead, so cherish your bromances with each other, because this is the last time they will probably happen to such an extent.

Get in touch with your team mates, discuss sub orders, practice together and plan ahead, but above all be ready this Saturday. T-minus 3 days and change.

Red team group practice when???

I'd be tempted to take red team into big team matchmaking and train them up.
Even though I'm not in the tournament.
It'd have to be tomorrow though and no day after that.

Teach Red team how to capture flags

I can do that.

Should I even bother trying to get gud over the next 3 days? The highest I ever got was like plat 1 and that was months ago and mostly being carried.

I am down for whenever. I'd like to get a feel for the maps if possible.

Okay, now you're just showing off :P

>Captcha: Gaylard Road

>ex-Blue Team member who destroyed Red Team in the last match of Halofest I offers to train the reds
ohoho

Here's my resume.

>50-49
Aside from the team colors autism, that was a pretty good match to end the night.

>red team says that color advantage isn't real after picking mercy
>match ends
>red team joins blue team party chat
>"it was too hard to see you guys"

Especially when you consider Blue team had been playing catch up for half the night. Going into griffball the reds were up 3 - 1 and thought they were going home with the trophy. Glorious comeback. God willed it.

Yep. Red team player here. Had fun even if I lost. Can't wait to go into the third fest.

Weebum

>the next time this happens we will probably do a draft instead
That's probably for the best. It would keep things relatively balanced while likely also keeping this more streamlined. It might also bring back in some of the prominent anons that have intentionally not signed for the third fest, most likely because they find the setup process too strict and serious.

Finally a Reach webm that doesn't have an aspect ratio of fucking 2.35:1
