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

[QUOTE=Delta616;50673648]Miranda dying supported the undertone "this war has enough dead heroes." [/QUOTE] Maybe, but in terms of the story it did very little to impact the story overall. Everything that happens afterwards is completely overshadowed by the discovery of 04B, the raid on High Charity's ruins and the subsequent activation of 04B. All we get in reguards to her dying is a picture on the eulogy thing during the epilogue. Sgt. Johnson's death felt more meaningful, Miranda's death was more 'oh that happened'. [QUOTE=Delta616;50673648] And Guity spark "turned evil" because you wanted to destroy the ring, and he wanted to activate it.[/QUOTE] Bungie had already pulled that shtick before, and pretty much everyone was expecting it to happen because they had done it already. Plus, he 'died' 30 seconds later and that was that. I get that they probably did that just so Sgt. Johnson would have been sacrificed, but he could have also held the line for the rest of them to get away.

I've never played Halo 2 even though now I'm familiar with the plot, so the first time I played Halo 3 the whole time I didnt know who the fuck Miranda was or why she was important and when she died I was like "ok". Johnson's death made me sad though

For as nice as some of the SPV3 assets are, i have to wonder if some of their efforts were a bit misplaced for starters the marines look like this [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/499154497083397473/462A969E74B1B274E6BFAD1148525DC1529AD48B/[/t] but that's not even my main issue, even something as simple as this crate [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/499154497083398842/5578DB92A1631023072697FCA09837F2696278F1/[/t] Like as a model its nice, but in game it very painfully sticks out against the bsp. And the outdoor maps are even more noticeable with this. Truth and Reconciliation I had few problems with this because they made extra use of darkness and a lot of the shading took care of hiding the limitations, but in TSC:E it was more noticeable, and here too. It seems like they went for individual quality at the expense of overall consistency, and I'm not sure how i feel about it.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50676253]That post about "X-Box Play Anywhere" was edited. They edited the bit about "Every new title published by Microsoft" was changed to "Every new title published from Microsoft Studios that we [B]showed onstage at E3 this year[/B]"[/QUOTE] I think deep down everyone was expecting this. They are never going to let a full halo game on anything outside of the xbox

[QUOTE=milktree;50683774]I think deep down everyone was expecting this. They are never going to let a full halo game on anything outside of the xbox[/QUOTE] That's really hard to say for sure when the next halo game is due in 2 years.

[QUOTE=usaokay;50683119]I dropped the Halo CE magnum and I got so excited about it until I realized it was only a power weapon. wtf they couldn't make it a skin?[/QUOTE] presumably because it would sell more req cards

Because they wanted if to have its original OP stats

What the fuck have these bastards done to halo

Sprained my right index finger really bad. No halo or any game for atleast a week and i cant drive cause its hurts and im a little bitch. Pop you should live stream some matches or forging later.

aim bot warthog activate [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIeldWIHwWwp[/media] Apparently the initial group of Marines that spawn at the start of a WZ match are able to board vehicles.

Why that wasn't a feature in warzone to start is beyond me. Still think it'd be awesome to have marine squads as req items, and have em be able to do that.

It's not a new feature afaik, I think the uploader/OP just thought it was after 343i clarified it wasn't a glitch. [editline]10th July 2016[/editline] It only works with the initial wave of Marines and the ones that stay on the beach, if they're in a base they won't board vehicles.

That's pretty cheeky. Guass Warthogs would just end up being ridiculous. Unless dont they require a high amount of req points?

[QUOTE=343N;50694489][t]https://i.redd.it/0wi1cgklen8x.png[/t][/QUOTE] Is that forge canvas big enough to actually allow for the full size of Death Island?

The fact that abilities such as spartan charge or the ground pound can affect members of your team hurts my soul. It's [I]so[/I] incredibly[I] fun[/I] being spartan charged while trying to use the sniper or ground pounded by a friendly while you're trying to deliver the flag carrier back to base, essentially flipping the vehicle.

The earlier seasons aren't as story intensive. They were written so you could watch any episode and just leave it but the mid to later episodes are absolutely important to watch in order. However, there are characters and references that show up in those later episodes that are introduced very early on. I suggest just watching them all in order anyways. All of it is fantastic, the humour in them has aged extremely well, IMO.

[QUOTE=usaokay;50703917]Just bought the RvB 10 year collection. It came with 14 blu-ray discs. Kill me. [editline]13th July 2016[/editline] Do I need to watch each consecutive season to understand the story or do the Monty Oum seasons act as a standalone?[/QUOTE] The new seasons are eh just start with the Blood Gulch Chronicles since that part is amazing. You can decided if you want to continue after that since it does have a definite end.

Monty made some really cool action scenes, but it never really jelled with the rest of Red vs Blue to me. I think thats why he ended up working on RWBY more and RvB sort of started going back to basics with the season where they were in that one Halo 4 map. I stopped in the season when Carolina and Church got reintroduced and it seemed like they were going sort of in an actiony direction again. I have no idea how it is now, though I know that its some sort of Anthology season and Funhaus made some episodes. I saw some previews for them and they seemed to have the same sort of flair the older RvB seasons did.

How active is the MCC multiplayer these days?

[QUOTE=usaokay;50707884]Oh, I stopped watching RvB once it seemed like the definite end for Blood Gulch (lol three endings), but they ended up going to other places and I couldn't get back into it. Now when I watched an episode handled by Monty Oum, I have no idea what's going on and everything has become really convoluted.[/QUOTE] There's a season or two that take place in Halo 3 and they're pretty good. The first season in Reach was god awful and I stopped watching then.

Well you missed out on a ton of back story then
