The Halo Thread V12: The Last Thread Turned Into A Bridge - Games

[QUOTE=PopSkimo;50473962]So, I've been thinking of picking up an Xbox One for a little while and getting Halo 5 along with it but I have to ask. Is Halo 5 in a good state right now? I've been extremely out of the loop on it for essentially everything. I remember hearing that it was apparently missing a lot of old features at launch and the campaign isn't really anything to brag about either. Some people also feel like the multiplayer has drifted too much from what it used to be?[/QUOTE] Halo 5's MP is in great state.

so there's more mcc PC rumours coupled with sunset overdrive PC rumours, but you know.. i mean you can take it with half a grain of salt now i guess since halo 5 is on it's way, but anyway

While Neogaf isn't a good source I wouldn't be terribly shocked if MCC comes to PC after Halo 5 Forge mode launches on PC. But knowing MS they may not see the point in releasing MCC when people will play custom games on H5 for free.

It would be nice to be able to co-op through the games with friends, i think im the only one with an Xbox in my group. Kinda hope they release PC MCC soon, if things go according to plan for one of my friends, he'll be in the Navy by the end of the year. Also kinda hope they dont fuck it up again. Actually, i hope the release goes [b]Perfectly[/b]. They seriously cant afford to make such a howler again like MCC's original launch again. So if it is confirmed that MCC is coming to PC, im waiting on it first to get the all clear first.

As with any Halo, people will see if they can mod it, and make their own maps, etc

[QUOTE=343N;50484186]:what: leaked footage[/QUOTE] Hmm, well that's interesting, not surprising if Halo 3 Anniversary gets announced at E3. Just hope that they announce it for pc as well, after all Microsoft has apparently turned over a new leaf for pc gaming, just look at Halo Wars 2, and a incomplete version of halo 5.

[QUOTE=343N;50484186]:what: [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAJgMcKmDXw[/hd] leaked footage[/QUOTE] That doesn't make much sense, the anniversary of Halo 3 isn't until year next. It is the anniversary of the games announcement though, so it could be for that if it's real, but I expect it's a fake.

[QUOTE=343N;50484186]:what: leaked footage[/QUOTE] Its 2016, screen capturing and recording is so piss easy that 240p shaky cam footage is basically a guarantee that its fake. Not to mention most people have phones that can record at like 4k anyways.

We have Halo 3 at 1080p60 already. Just remaster Reach already. I'm not a huge fan of Reach but I much rather have that so I can have all the games on my Xbone. The X360 BC doesn't count since its poop butts.

by remaster i hope you mean 1080p60, it looks better than h4 i reckon and h4 can look like a next-gen title at times

What else would I mean by remaster? [editline]9th June 2016[/editline] Just give me 1080p60 with upgraded textures and $40 or less price tag.

when you say remaster i think h1a/h2a

It's not as old as those games so the H1A/H2A treatment isn't even needed.

I really hope they're not doing a H3A. Reach would just make more sense. But even still, everyone is going to be cautious because of MCC.

[QUOTE=Highwind017;50484591]I really hope they're not doing a H3A. Reach would just make more sense. But even still, everyone is going to be cautious because of MCC.[/QUOTE] How would remastering Reach make more sense than Halo 3?

Because you can play Halo 3 at 1080p60 already on the Xbone?

In that case, just patch and fix what's wrong with the current port. There's no need for a remake/anniversary edition of Reach.

Considering how poorly the BC version of Reach runs and it's the only game in the series, I'm not including Halo Wars, that hasn't been ported/remastered properly I think it deserves it.

Warzone Turbo is back, get them REQ points! [video=youtube;GpLCjrayo-8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpLCjrayo-8[/video] [editline]9th June 2016[/editline] Mechanized Mayham Req pack 80k or 10 bucs gives you 3 rare or better permamnent vehicles and 8 connsumable vehicles Mythic Warzone Pack has also returned for same price. Now really get those REQ points.

Hey anyone want to help me test out my infection gamemode and map next week?

so according to frankie Halo 5 sold 5m copies 3 months in

That's not too bad considering the circumstances. Player retention has been second only to Halo 3, so I think Halo's downward trend might be turning around.

apparently leaked hw2 screenies [media]https://imgur.com/a/Jsd1A[/media]

Someone should be a game developer if these are fake (very unlikely they are). Appears to be a new rhino tank that fires missiles, as well as a new slimmer Cyclops with a gatling gun arm. Whats with the baby reaper ship on the artwork and some of the pics? Also looks like we do face off against elites still in this game, image 6 has 2 squads of them, and they're driving the ghosts. Someone on Neogaf posted about Major Nelson being in the Halo Wars 2 open beta that ran from the 13th to the 20th of june. I reckon that it's the gameplay demo for e3.

Eh, not a big fan of the cartoon look, but it's okay I guess.

While the human stuff looks pretty ok, it seems that they're using the 343 version of the Covenant artstyle, which is pretty terrible.

Halo 4 + 5 Warthogs, but Pre-Halo 4 Pelicans. Art style mixture confuses me. Though the same thing happened with Halo 2 Anniversary Appears the Brutes are the main enemy, I'm not seeing any Elites.
