[QUOTE=Makol;50992538]iirc they fucked up the shaders[/QUOTE] The assault rifle, Halo, longsword, flag and fuel rod's shaders are off, same as the Jackals' shields They also forgot the yellow flare of the shields recharging, and the waterfalls look worse

[QUOTE=Makol;50992538]iirc they fucked up the shaders[/QUOTE] I think that had to do with the wide variety of GPUs the game supported. [QUOTE]The core rendering engine supports 4 rendering paths including fixed function rendering (DirectX 7.0), Pixel Shaders 1.1 (DirectX 8.0), Pixel Shaders 1.4 (DirectX 8.0), and Pixel Shaders 2.0 (DirectX 9.0[/QUOTE] Microsoft/Gearbox probably didn't think it was worth the effort getting it optimized for all those GPUs. They were also forced to dumb down the netcode for 56k support. [QUOTE=SebiWarrior;50992668]The assault rifle, Halo, longsword, flag and fuel rod's shaders are off, same as the Jackals' shields They also forgot the yellow flare of the shields recharging, and the waterfalls look worse[/QUOTE] All of those except the jackal shields are fixable with mods.

I remember the active camo shader just straight up didnt work on Nvidia GPUs for the longest time, I think the final patch they did a few years ago finally fixed it, more than a decade later.

I know this is probably stupid to ask (especially because I probably overlooked the information I needed without realizing), but how would I go about hosting a server for ElDewrito without the use of a VPN? I got a new computer recently, and now that I'm able to actually play the game, I'd like to play the game with some of my friends when I'm not busy with work or Source projects.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;50994065]You know I said this and people rated me dumb[/QUOTE] Because none of this was known when you posted and the PC version still lack various modes/features compared to the Xbone version.

Halo 5 Forge is best Forge. How are they going to top it in Halo 6 Halo 2 Anniversary Forge had some neat features too, like scripts and buttons, I never really saw anything impressive out of it though.

trait zones or halos boned

Warzone/Firefight forge

We need trait zones back, seriously. I loved making maps that were essentially ship to ship combat with low gravity outside the ships and such.

I was just going by what was said in the "How to Host" tab in the server browser itself, which I don't recall see it mentioning the server.announce segment.

A better UI for selecting parent objects and colors too, but that could probably be patched into this forge honestly

[QUOTE=343N;50994308][img]http://i.imgur.com/lbnkfr4.gif[/img][/QUOTE] How.

[QUOTE=.Vel;50991659]That's SUPER lame that you'll have to allegedly unlock the customization options through either playing the xb1 or through buying req packs on waypoint. I just want the halo wars armor man Looks like I might actually drop a bit of cash to see if I can score the armor I want then [editline]2nd September 2016[/editline] That, and the ODST armor[/QUOTE] Don't spend cash on REQs in hopes of getting those two armour sets. Both sets are incredibly rare and buying gold packs to try and get them will 99% give you crappy common/uncommon/rare sets. You'll easily spend hundreds before you can get the stuff you want :/

[QUOTE=Rascovinne;50996612]I still don't have any Legendary shit beside the MCC and Nightfall armours you get for nothing, and I'm at rank 54 having to buy REQ Packs for armour fuckin sucks[/QUOTE] How exactly are you spending your reqs? Focus on getting all the commons/uncommons by using bronse packs until they stop giving you perma unlocks, then do the same for uncommons/rare in silvers until it stops giving you perma unlocks there, then proceed to gold packs. [editline]3rd September 2016[/editline] Wonder how long it will take for them to release WZ and FF on PC.

Any of you remember Mr. Fox from the good old days of Facepunch and Halo days? He's back.

[QUOTE=Delta616;51000310]Any of you remember Mr. Fox from the good old days of Facepunch and Halo days? He's back.[/QUOTE] For those who weren't around when he was, what's so significant about him?

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;51000908]For those who weren't around when he was, what's so significant about him?[/QUOTE] Not much, just was one of the regs during Halo 4's prime time. He made a pretty decent mario kart block fort map as well. [sp]Honestly though, I don't have much claim to fame other than just playing too much.[/sp]

I never noticed the water displacement in Halo 5 was 3D. I thought they Abandond that after Halo 3 (or was it reach?) [t]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/188015782716899328/222141995471208449/unknown.png[/t] [t]https://i.imgur.com/DA1j1t9.png[/t]

Not all the water has displacement though. I remember discovering it in the campaign and then running into the next patch of water to play and there wasn't even a splash sprite.....

Do we have a spartan company I can join? I just got Halo 5 and was wondering.

[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;50994639]Warzone/Firefight forge[/QUOTE] You could do that with a bunch of friends but as a game mode but as a game mode how exactaly would that work?

I played that Labyrinth game mode in Action Sack, that is fun :v:
