Everyone is acting surprised when really it's owned by Micro$oft lol so the behavior was to be expected.

Then if Frank didn't believe it and was just speaking for MS he should have taken a stand
Aaron Rodriguez
Bait.

So, Jake is Falcon right?

Charles Long
so how many maps are going to be played tonight?
Joshua Long
Worst case scenario one team sweeps like in the second one. Even if that's the case I imagine we will play a few more games. Best case scenario it's tied 3-3 going into overtime.
William Morales
sweet, so who are going to be the team captains?
Gabriel Cruz
>Halofest Rankings 1. I 2. IV (projected) 3. III 4. II

Benjamin Bennett
Literally caved in brainlet
Zachary Lee
I wasn't present at Halofest 2. Why was it bad?
Thomas Ross
because i wasnt there to carry blue team
Brayden Bailey
Compare to other games isn't bad but it wasn't good either. They really need to improve upon it.
Carter Wilson
>I wasn't present at Halofest 2. Why was it bad? It demonstrated the flaw with picking teams beforehand. That being that if enough players from one team can't make it, the balance gets completely buttfucked. Everybody likes to win, but nobody likes a blowout. Neither of the other two fests were perfect but at least they were relatively close.
Caleb James
>implying picking teams at the moment is a perfect system I can't wait for the inevitable bitching when X gets drafted before Y
Eli James
People need to have thicker skin. This isn't 5th grade dodgeball. We're adults.
Michael Kelly
Gears4 sucks when it comes to events. They only do double xp nothing higher. The grind to reup in this game is just terrible.
Gavin Baker
>Falcon is superior I mean, I guess it's cooler. Not sure if it would win in a fight.
Leo Cox
What happened to the gears franchise? There was a time when it was considered by many a killer app
Colton Fisher
Why is every Halo youtuber so autistic and dense? Frankie was clearly comparing 5's microtransactions with other games in the industry. In comparison, they're definitely more liked and unintrusive.
Robert Brown
I agree, but that doesn't mean they're ok.
Brody King
I never said they were, i'm just saying those illiterate retards say one thing and the rest of the community follows like sheeps.
Nicholas Gomez
So what you're saying is you're jealous then.

Nothing really I was talking about the xp crap considering re-uping is a complete chore it feels like they to QnA from COD with their leveling system (feels like jrpg lvl grind wasn't that bad). If you want my personal take on the campaign, it feels too safe and rememberable moments(expect the mech part), no main threats like roam, the locusts queen and etc.
Carter Reed
*no rememberable moments *they took QnA from COD
Caleb Ortiz
My autism made me make another one
Zachary Perez
How is the playerbase?
Jack Diaz
Jealous of what?
Angel Hill
Halofest 1 had the worst maps though.
Evan Adams
Fine.
Grayson Cook
>Halofest 1 >worst maps Um, no sweetie. That would be HF3. All the Sigmund maps were terrible.
Jose Robinson
2 actually had the best map roster despite being the worst Halofest. 1 had griffball, which does not work with 16 people no matter which way you slice it, CTF on Basin, and swatnums on fucking mercy. And then of course 3 had the Sigmund maps. Also I prefer Highrise to Sinbad for breakout. I understand changing it up because the same map every time gets boring, but after this time we should go back to it. The worst map in 2 was eagle square which while not ideal isn't as bad as some of that other shit.
Matthew Sanchez
Apparently Co Assasin is making a new breakout map that supports 16 players.
Aaron Nguyen
I thought the next Halofest was MCC
Chase Morris
>MCC before it's fixed No thanks
Jaxon Williams
>implying it will ever be fixed
Brody Hill
>mcc >playable
pick one
Isaac Gonzalez
It's playable, not flawless.
Nathaniel Richardson
>1:17 PM
Jace Collins
An MCC Halofest would be a good starting point for the transition towards a more cooperatively organized event. Picking maps would be easier than jumping straight into everybody forging their own stuff and then trying to get it in. That would be a better second step.
Bentley Torres
I haven't touched the games on Xbone since the MCC launched, is the multiplayer still active?
I remember them having to reduce team sizes at one point just so the matchmaking would be functional
Isaiah Murphy
Yes, but it's best to go in with friends
Brayden Ortiz
But only one of the maps is forged by someone from here
Josiah Rodriguez

Eli Martin
My friend knows jackshit about halo so now I'm taking him on a marathon of each game's campaign, one mission per day. Are there any easter eggs or glitches anyone can recommend to show off?
Austin Foster
Honestly a first Halo experience is best fresh. Let him lead and experience it. Don't spend too much time going OH OH WATCH THIS OVER HERE
Alexander Ross
>Halofest in 5 hours
Justin Hall
Ay and you best not even hint at the Flood before they show up, that shit was a hallmark of vidya moments.
Matthew Wright
>tfw pre-ordered monster Hunter >shipment delayed a day Halofest it is
Grayson Scott
sheeeit i forgot about it
Landon Anderson
Not bad for 70
Carson Miller
Soon we will know again that blue team is best team
Aaron Cook
hmmm
Camden Wood
Yea what about it
John Edwards
The whole idea of team identity, which was I think one of Red's original staplepoints with the Halofest concept, is basically dead now though. Everyone is being drafted individually.
Henry Peterson
tfw no blue supremacism
Gabriel Butler
>implying Red isn't the übermensch
Aaron Myers
Fucking retards, it does works. We've had like 8 man groups and it was relatively fine. Nothing game breaking. Shut the fuck up.
Nathan Lewis
i-it totally works guys! When it's not crashing it works fine!!!!!
Luke Harris
Shut the fuck up it's fine you negative nancy
Oliver Martin
>relatively fine >a collection that consists of 3 last gen games, and a single remaster >barely works >years after release >still not running flawlessly
MCC defenders are scum
Kayden Green
It works on my machine (probably doesn't even): the post
William Bailey
>barely works Wrong. I play MCC with 0 issues. Others play MCC with 0 issues. Try harder
Isaac Brooks
>i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-it works on m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-my m-m-m-m-m-m-machine
Dylan Phillips
>8 man groups And then it promptly crashes for at least one person. Every time.
Jackson Wilson
Sure you do, you and the handful of people still left playing that mess.
I'm surprised anyone bought a game made by 343i after that horrendous launch, damn things near unplayable months after release.
Colton Stewart
>tfw want to join halofest but real life responsibilities are going to fuck up my schedule and sleeping Looks like I'm not sleeping for another 30 hours
James Flores
same
anyone got the other images in this set?
Michael Wright
But of course
Anthony Moore
Was it autism?
Bentley Campbell
No. It's furfags.
Christopher Wood
Thanks but there is another one, isn't there?
Brandon Davis
Theres like 5
Xavier Stewart
Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms.
Grayson Powell
>damn things near unplayable months after release. Oh is that why I'm playing MCC with no issues? Retard
Daniel Brooks
It's okay, Frankie. You can go back to shilling Microsoft's microtransactions
Dominic Lee
good post
Jayden Hernandez
>Halofest the same day as Monster Hunter Did Red take this into account?
Justin Peterson
He knew for quite a while.
Camden Bell
He didn't predict the weeb's love for weebshit
Ayden Thomas
URRR MUH MONSTAH HUNTER WEEBSHIT. IT CAME OUT TODAY BUT TODAY IS THE ONLY DAY I CAN EVER PLAY IT URRRRRRR BETTER MISS HALOFEST FOR A WEEB GAME THAT'LL DIE IN A MONTH URRRRRR
