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

Bait.

So, Jake is Falcon right?

...

He's prepping some spicey memes

...

Even in death, the chad Jiralhane prevails

so how many maps are going to be played tonight?

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.

sweet, so who are going to be the team captains?

>Halofest Rankings
1. I
2. IV (projected)
3. III
4. II

...

>those tallons

hmmm

Literally caved in brainlet

I wasn't present at Halofest 2. Why was it bad?

because i wasnt there to carry blue team

Compare to other games isn't bad but it wasn't good either. They really need to improve upon it.

>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.

>implying picking teams at the moment is a perfect system
I can't wait for the inevitable bitching when X gets drafted before Y

People need to have thicker skin.
This isn't 5th grade dodgeball. We're adults.

Gears4 sucks when it comes to events. They only do double xp nothing higher. The grind to reup in this game is just terrible.

>Falcon is superior
I mean, I guess it's cooler.
Not sure if it would win in a fight.

What happened to the gears franchise?
There was a time when it was considered by many a killer app

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.

I agree, but that doesn't mean they're ok.

I never said they were, i'm just saying those illiterate retards say one thing and the rest of the community follows like sheeps.

So what you're saying is you're jealous then.

>Ghibalbian porcupine

Post superior Forerunner designs

Comparatively

...

hoo... hoo... hoo hoo OOOH OOH OGA OGA

what is this

Cortana

Cortana artist rendition placeholder.

Riahtanna

just brainlet my shit up senpai

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.

*no rememberable moments
*they took QnA from COD

My autism made me make another one

How is the playerbase?

Jealous of what?

Halofest 1 had the worst maps though.

Fine.

>Halofest 1
>worst maps
Um, no sweetie. That would be HF3.
All the Sigmund maps were terrible.

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.

Apparently Co Assasin is making a new breakout map that supports 16 players.

I thought the next Halofest was MCC

>MCC before it's fixed
No thanks

>implying it will ever be fixed

>mcc
>playable

pick one

It's playable, not flawless.

>1:17 PM

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.

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

Yes, but it's best to go in with friends

But only one of the maps is forged by someone from here

...

2*

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?

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

>Halofest in 5 hours

Ay and you best not even hint at the Flood before they show up, that shit was a hallmark of vidya moments.

>tfw pre-ordered monster Hunter
>shipment delayed a day
Halofest it is

sheeeit i forgot about it

Not bad for 70

Soon we will know again that blue team is best team

hmmm

Yea what about it

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.

tfw no blue supremacism

>implying Red isn't the übermensch

Fucking retards, it does works. We've had like 8 man groups and it was relatively fine. Nothing game breaking. Shut the fuck up.

i-it totally works guys! When it's not crashing it works fine!!!!!

Shut the fuck up it's fine you negative nancy

>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

It works on my machine (probably doesn't even): the post

>barely works
Wrong.
I play MCC with 0 issues. Others play MCC with 0 issues. Try harder

>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

>8 man groups
And then it promptly crashes for at least one person. Every time.

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.

>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

same

anyone got the other images in this set?

But of course

Was it autism?

No. It's furfags.

Thanks but there is another one, isn't there?

Theres like 5

Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms.

>damn things near unplayable months after release.
Oh is that why I'm playing MCC with no issues? Retard

It's okay, Frankie. You can go back to shilling Microsoft's microtransactions

good post

>Halofest the same day as Monster Hunter
Did Red take this into account?

He knew for quite a while.

He didn't predict the weeb's love for weebshit

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
