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

[QUOTE=KingNick220;48988257]My problem with the MP is the lack of gametypes. No KOTH, Assault, and Oddball at launch is ridiculous. It seems the game is unfinished, as we're getting forge, core gametypes and BTB post launch[/QUOTE] I don't really see the big deal considering breakout is a new game mode with specific maps, warzone is massive and totally new, and other game modes are coming soon post launch, not to mention the already existing arena game types. It really doesn't sound like Halo 5 is light on content at all, even if an oldie game mode you liked playing before isn't here for launch I mean, that said, if they take 6 months to put in the old game modes in that wouldn't really be acceptable. But seems good for launch to me.

Even though the video is from one of those clickbait gaming youtubers, I really love the look of this [URL="https://youtu.be/_XJ3D_Gc-Y8?t=46"]assassination in Halo 5.[/URL] the fucking kick man, I really hope there's some wrestling type moves you can pull on someone's ass though.

Compared to other games on the market/ past halo titles that's severely lacking content, no matter which way you want to look at it. 2 objective modes? That's a joke.

So Halo: Reach is pretty much confirmed to be backwards compatible.

Halo 5, I've yet to know if I can have as good a time with it as reach. So yeah I'm on the same boat there.

Don't yell at me but... Will Halo 5 feature some kind of split screen?

Talkin' bout cortana [sp]So it sounds like the one thing i didn't want Cortana turning into is exactly what she turned into. That's really disappointing. Her character could have been so much more than that. But they pulled a half corrupt, half rampant card and damn near made her the bad guy. I wanted the exact opposite for her character...[/sp]

[QUOTE=Turnip;48989941]Don't yell at me but... Will Halo 5 feature some kind of split screen?[/QUOTE] Nope, 343 decided people like us don't exist and nobody actually wants it anymore.

[QUOTE=Fat White Lump;48989994]Nope, 343 decided people like us don't exist and nobody actually wants it anymore.[/QUOTE] Great so me and my little bro can't have fun.. not even on MP? What the literal fuck 343? I hope they patch that shit in..

[QUOTE=Turnip;48990015]Great so me and my little bro can't have fun.. not even on MP? What the literal fuck 343? I hope they patch that shit in..[/QUOTE] If I remember correctly, they made the dumb decision to have the physics rely on the frame rate so splitscreen would break everything.

I missed it when it was free for Goldies.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;48990236]Guess I'm going to have to rebuy Reach. I missed it when it was free for Goldies.[/QUOTE] I did too, but you can use the disc.

Really wish they would've used a different studio for that Fall of Reach series. The show itself is pretty good, but the animation is just so rigid.

no ones playing breakout apparently

so my install is going REALLLLLLY slow. Like 1 percent every 3 minutes. Not the download, the install. Anyone else got something like this?

Playing!!! :D

Where the hell is my forge

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;48991244]Because it'd be another MCC.[/QUOTE] what is that even suppose to mean

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;48991274]what is that even suppose to mean[/QUOTE] Bugged to hell, not working, cut features, etc.

I'd rather have a delayed feature than a completely broken one at launch.

So they removed a feature that would've made the game buggy So why did they release an unfinished product

[QUOTE=NoobSauce;48991312]So they removed a feature that would've made the game buggy So why did they release an unfinished product[/QUOTE] Because 343 is an incompetent developer.

You delay a game if it's incomplete. Simple as that. Releasing an incomplete product should be reserved for early access games, not a AAA title.

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;48991244]Because it'd be another MCC. [B]Waters[/B] <insert Sangheili torture here>[/QUOTE] I feel sorry for the Elite

[QUOTE=ShadowSocks8;48991185]oh man i love buying unfinished games[/QUOTE] Vital game components are fucking great, they didn't want to release an unfinished forge, and the game was certainty not getting delayed on Microsoft's timeline. Can't please them all. [editline]27th October 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=G3rman;48991556]You delay a game if it's incomplete. Simple as that. Releasing an incomplete product should be reserved for early access games, not a AAA title.[/QUOTE] Yes, becuase they're going to delay the release of this game for a custom content creator. But fuck them for focusing on a stable MP launch. I don't think you get how much money all parties would lose if you delay a AAA like this, over a feature that is considered non essential in the eyes of the publisher. [editline]27th October 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=NoobSauce;48991312]So they removed a feature that would've made the game buggy So why did they release an unfinished product[/QUOTE] Halo 5 is not an unfinished product... Every feature currently available in game is polished as fuck, lack of forge at launch (something that was never announced as a launch feature isn't going to change that.) Enjoy the content 343 made for us in the meantime.... [editline]27th October 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Fat White Lump;48991382]Because 343 is an incompetent developer.[/QUOTE] The release of this game says otherwise.
