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

Whose idea was it to get rid of codpieces anyway? That's like the most important part to keep safe

Spartan diapers or riot.

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;49012514]Whose idea was it to get rid of codpieces anyway? That's like the most important part to keep safe[/QUOTE] if it gets past shields then your privates won't survive anyway tbh.

The Breaking on Legendary (solo) made me want to tear my hair out. Then I finally did it and I was a very happy camper. If anyone wants to play Warzone or some other playlist, feel free to add me on XBL I need more people to team with. GT: DemonElite119 Just pls send me a message telling me who you are on FP.

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;49009866]He's like this about everything. He always claims to know everything there is to know about game design and asset creation yet comes out with some real bollocks. I recommend adding him to your ignore list. ][/QUOTE] The thing about Spartan is while he's a doofus in the thread, he's a blast to play with when we all get together and play Halo. [editline]30th October 2015[/editline] Halo 5 MP or Mission Impossible Rouge Nation? How am I spending my down time this evening FP?

Perhaps Microsoft made them cut it in half.

Yo, so what happened to this city warzone map? It got shown in a couple trailers, then no mention of it. [t]http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/halo/images/8/86/H5G_Multiplayer-Gamescon_UnnamedCityMap1.png/revision/latest?cb=20150810044032[/t]

[QUOTE=Delta616;49013265]upcoming content[/QUOTE] Yep.

This thread looks like it gets angry kinda quick often but I'll put my two cents on 5 So I've played every Halo game and clocked the most in 3 and Reach most likely and those were most fun for me. I picked up Halo 5 after my relative disappointment in 4. It was okay but I didn't feel it was a direction Halo should be going in and that it was feeling less like Halo to me. Just finished through the campaign of 5 and have to say that it's going further in a direction that I don't like. I'm not really sure why it's like this though, as I've enjoyed every Halo game short of like Spartan Assault I guess. It just doesn't feel the same and I don't know if I should pin that on 343 or that the story just doesn't feel anywhere near as compelling, or for whatever reason multiplayer is just downright no fun anymore. I just think Halo should've kicked it after Reach mostly. I'm trying to give it an honest chance, I love games like Halo Wars and think Halo Wars 2 is really cool. Fuck though I just can't get behind this game for whatever reason

I keep getting that snow one

I like how the story is Master Chief and friends go on fun adventures while Locke and the no fun team try to stop them [sp]I guess you could say he was trying to locke them down[/sp] When team Osiris can't open doors I guess they're [sp]locke'd[/sp] out When team Osiris is in a mantis I guess they're [sp]Locke'd[/sp] in When Osiris got their car stolen I bet they wish they [sp] had Locke'd it[/sp]

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;49013435]I like how the story is Master Chief and friends go on fun adventures while Locke and the no fun team try to stop them[/QUOTE] IIRC That wasn't even going on for a quarter of the game, they had bigger issues.

the chief vs locke story/scenes seemed so rushed its not even funny lol they even wrapped it up without explaining much as to the real reason why they were after them

[sp] Thinking of it now, it would have been nice to have a cutscene of Oni briefing Osiris as to what's going on and that the chief went AWOL, instead of just having the next level be like "we need to find chief lets go". Thinking of it even more, there is absolutely no sign of Oni at all, unlike the marketing. I mean your'e on an Oni ship on the level "Blue Team", but there is barely anything at all on Locke's side, who is sent FROM Oni for Christs sake. No masterchief cover up, no destroyed cities, infinity is unharmed, I could go on. The marketing looks like it'd be more suitable for Halo 6. It's also the first Halo game where only 1 level has a warthog. And this is all coming from someone who enjoyed the first playthrough. [/sp] Also, is anyone else peeved about the Covenant Remnant and actual Covenant Separatists looking exactly the same? Seriously, if Arbiter and the rest of his team looked like this: [video=youtube;1G2uz26smY0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G2uz26smY0[/video] I'd be more then happy. Instead 343 retconned themselves after they said that the species of the covenant remnant were different. They have the models, why would they insist on doing this?

They brought it up in one of the canon fodders. Since Arbiter's group is kinda rag-tag, they've got people using several different kinds of harnesses. The other one's just used more often since it's still in production. But ya, the marketing was still way the hell off.

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;49012461]The only thing that feels rushed about the game is what it's lacking. Everything it has is polished as all hell.[/QUOTE] And to be fair a good chunk of what is missing is coming by december Still lame tho [editline]30th October 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Chaseymusica;49013371]This thread looks like it gets angry kinda quick often but I'll put my two cents on 5 So I've played every Halo game and clocked the most in 3 and Reach most likely and those were most fun for me.

Whenever I read the words "it just doesn't feel the same" in regards to something like this it's a red flag that you are more into the feeling of nostalgia you have for something than the actual something. The story isn't super great and the game is lacking content for multiplayer atm for sure but other than that it's pretty solid

I mean it's definitely a step forward from 4, and it isn't a BAD game. I'd say it's a decent game but yeah I think I've just lost interest in the series and there's nothing ~wow~ enough to capture me or pull me back in you know

There's so much "OH SHIT, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO READ THE BOOKS YOU FUCKING IDIOT" I just don't care. The multiplayer is thankfully still great.

the biggest issue with the story is the fact that it isn't contained into either game so much information about halo 4 was only accessible from the books and other stuff, they need to create a story for h6 that operates by itself

Kinda wished the Company System worked more like Rockstar's crews ingame, and less of a 'oh hey, here's a subtitle under your badge to say you belong somewhere'.

[QUOTE=dagoth_ur;49016261]Kinda wished the Company System worked more like Rockstar's crews ingame, and less of a 'oh hey, here's a subtitle under your badge to say you belong somewhere'.[/QUOTE] Yea,I guess it was like literally a last week thing though.

Did the Escalation comics that are supposed to lead into the story in the first place even [i]finish[/i] yet?

The most frustrating aspect of the arena maps being so meh and so little is that the campaign is full of amazing level design that would make for awesome arena maps and locations, that just isn't being used at all They could literally port meridian station or the front of apogee station into arena and it would be awesome, possibly "best halo multiplayer maps ever made" status But nah paintball arenas plz I'm really looking forward to BTB but the problem with that is that AFAIK they are all forge maps, and I'm willing to bet the BTB maps are going to be BTB only. I'd like to play slayer and such on something other than symmetrical paintball squares in various colors.

I actually really like the paintball arenas, but I do think they should be Breakout only. That being said, a map on Genesis or something along those lines would be amazing. [editline]30th October 2015[/editline] Speaking of, does anyone want to play some Breakout at around Platinum rank? I need some ranked buddies. GT is h4gan.

Just beat Halo 5's story. That was shit.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;49017469]Just beat Halo 5's story. That was shit.[/QUOTE] Not this again...

Knowing all the expanded universe stuff doesn't make the in game story more interesting. It actually makes me more disappointed considering the depth some of the side stuff adds to the universe. Maybe I'm just biased because I completely loathe fighting Prometheans and would rather Forerunner remain more mysterious.
