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

[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;49009559]Yea you must have, there's that huge battle at the drydocks with the scarab, leading up until the artifact activates. Before that you have Tsavo Highway, and defending the UNSC ground base from the covie raid. Saving the prisoners in the beginning as well. Hey, look at that! 5 missions of a big Earth battle, as advertised! That's 2 more missions than the amount you get to play as the Chief in Halo 5.[/QUOTE] It never really felt like a battle for Earth though, just repelling Covenant forces. Technically we got what was advertised (a battle in the desert and plains), but it wasn't anywhere near the scope that a "battle for Earth" should be.

I don't understand why you get so much weird shit, I never got any of that on my playthrough. Thanks for not recording my voice, I hate it so much.

"oh sweet a rare ghost! Oh shit where did that scorpion come from? [I]aaaaaannnnnnnd it's gone."[/I] [editline]29th October 2015[/editline] While I love Warzone, I'm probably going to play mostly BTB when it comes out. I've had so many matches where I've been simply outgunned by the enemy because all I get in REQ packs are mongooses, needlers and fuel rod cannons. It's even worse when the enemy team if throwing a pair of scorpions [B]and[/B] a pair of wraiths at you but you and your team have fucking nothing to fight back with.

Wow, the matchmaking really sucks, i'm either in the last place, or in 2nd place, i was about to break that cycle, but then i lost connection to the servers :v:

[QUOTE=Delta616;49009001]The reason I stopped QA is because I started to hate the thing I love, you don't know what you're talking about stop pretending you do.[/QUOTE] He's like this about everything.

[editline]29th October 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;49009162]Ok, earnestly, without any personal vendetta or poor feelings, I am asking an objective question no one seems to be answering. If Halo 5's campaign is missing missions with major plot points/details, as Delta said, then how is that not a complete failure of game design/delivery/release on 343's/Microsoft's part? [editline]29th October 2015[/editline] ...this isn't an answer. I'm a huge Metal Gear fanboy and I, among many others, agree that the gameplay is fucking fantastic but the story is complete drivel and Kojima studios completely failed at delivering it. We're talking of story here, something MGSV and Halo 5 advertised heavily. The story was not up to scruff in MGSV, and the gameplay does not excuse that.[/QUOTE] It's a failure yes, but there is still a story. I'm gutted that all the crime scene investigation stuff was cut but it was still fun and engaging, even if the pacing was all over the shop. In my honest opinion, Halo 5 feels like it's one step ahead of itself. There's no bridge between 4 & 5 and the ad campaign for Guardian's had fuck all to do with the game, which deeply upsets me. Having said all that, it was still fun as hell. I actually verbally expressed my enjoyment the first time I killed with a ground pound and when I began that mission [sp] Where you scale down the front of a Guardian.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Spydurr117;49009388]Just as a general question, I didn't play through Halo 4. How much of the story will I have no clue what the fuck is going on?[/QUOTE] Even if you played through Halo 4 and Halo ODST/Reach (where some characters are from) you likely won't really feel in the know on details of the plot without reading extended universe I just read a little primer on it and got all I needed to know BTW its part of the reason why the story is a bit eh - relies on EU knowledge to be interesting, as the narrative itself doesn't go too much anywhere.

It's like blue team is all [sp]I GOTTA HELP MY OLD BESTIE FIND HIS CYBER BAE[/sp] and then you cut away to Osiris for a few missions and then cut back and chief is all [sp] uh yeah I know she's evil lmao[/sp] I would have loved to see [sp]that revalation happen from their POV... actually, it doesn't even really get revealed.

[editline]29th October 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Spydurr117;49009406]Well, might as well look up a playthrough of H4's story then. Friends have also told me that I'm gonna need to know some expanded universe stuff to more about some characters also.[/QUOTE] You're going to need to watch [URL="https://www.youtube.com/user/HaloCanon"]Halo Canon[/URL] videos on YouTube to fully understand what's going on. There's a bunch of stuff that requires background knowledge. Listening to someone else explain it is a lot easier than having to go out and read it. That's what I did.

Hell to get a real sense of scale you probably couldn't even make levels with a grand enough scale to run on a 360. While it wasn't quite battle for earth, you still felt like you held some responsibility for the people around you.

Don't worry it's not for me, it's for my friend.[/QUOTE] Actually it was indeed for my bed ridden friend who even though knew I hated 343i still wanted someone to play co-op with so I bought it so he could have a fun time since he loves playing co-op in campaign.

Here, I think you need [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Silverline-GT30-No-Shovel-Handle/dp/B000LFU08Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1446161655&sr=8-1&keywords=shovel"]this[/URL]. [t]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31lF%2BK5euuL.jpg[/t]

Seeing a bunch of Guardians floating around on Genesis is so fucking cool.

please stop arguing about dumb stuff

[QUOTE=xalener;49009849]exuberant is best girl[/QUOTE] Yeah, that came out of nowhere near the end, and to me felt (somehow) like the most interesting character. The writing was pretty good, but the voice acting sold the role, anyone know who did the voice? Sounded just slightly like Jen Taylor at times. [editline]Later...[/editline] Melanie Minichino, according to IMDb

Is multiplayer down for anyone else?

I'm going to play through all the games before buying Halo 5, by the time i get to that point. I'd imagine there would be a preowned copy somewhere. I'm still sticking to my guns here and it gives me a reason to play through the other half of the MCC that i never bothered with. (3/ODST/4) So Halo 5 can wait for a bit, dispite enjoying the beta from last year. I still think Reach is the best Bungie Halo of the Pack, it does make me sad that they went from that to Destiny, although i only did play the demo for it before launch and never bothered to buy it yet. Yeah, you get to make your dream game but at what cost, Bungie?

So uh... that legendary ending. [sp]FUCK[/sp]

I heard the rest of the campaign is coming out as post launch content

Buck tripped. There may possibly be some spoilers, but without proper context you'll have no idea what is actually going on. [video=youtube;U9i0AC6T0iQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9i0AC6T0iQ&feature=youtu.be[/video]

[QUOTE=KingNick220;49012265]I heard the rest of the campaign is coming out as post launch content[/QUOTE] To be honest, I don't really know what else they could add to this campaign (on the end anyway). The ending was probably the most solid part of the whole story.

This game is like the Destiny of the Halo series. Bad story, rushed, lacking on content, but with fantastic graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay.

So what exactly is the difference between gen1 and gen2 mkvi armor? I couldn't tell any difference between the helmets or body pieces.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;49012376]This game is like the Destiny of the Halo series. Bad story, rushed, lacking on content, but with fantastic graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay.[/QUOTE] The only thing that feels rushed about the game is what it's lacking. Everything it has is polished as all hell.

[QUOTE=Zombie626;49012377]So what exactly is the difference between gen1 and gen2 mkvi armor? I couldn't tell any difference between the helmets or body pieces.[/QUOTE] Gen 2 has no crotchplate.
