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

I wouldn't call Halo 5's character models low quality in any technical context. A lot of aspects of the environment construction though is decidedly last gen. Their treatment of materials seems strange too. If the way the block coloring in forge is any indicator, any object is either matte or metal, which makes no sense. Would anisotropic filtering have hurt that fucking badly? Also, if that's not how their material system works, I'd love to have full control over glossyness/ metalness on forge pieces separately. Also, an actual color picker for fuck's sake instead of scrolling through dozens of pre-set colors.

Not sure if I'm blind but we don't actually see any Marines in 5's campaign do we? I mean there are those workers and their security guards, but no UNSC Marines.

[QUOTE=Makol;49619888]Not sure if I'm blind but we don't actually see any Marines in 5's campaign do we? I mean there are those workers and their security guards, but no UNSC Marines.[/QUOTE] You see a few in cutscenes but that's it.

I am confirmed blind.

Nah I never even saw any marines either. (Except the few cutscenes that feature them.) Damn, that reminds me, there were hardly any pelicans seen in this game too right?

Without spoiling much why is 5s campaign better than 4?

[QUOTE=MadBomber;49620732]Without spoiling much why is 5s campaign better than 4?[/QUOTE] As someone without an Xbox One, all I hear is that story-wise 5 is easily the worst in the series. Gameplay-wise, it's pretty damn fun in its own right, even with the whole [sp]Blue Team only having 3 missions[/sp] part.

I forget where to get eldewrito [editline]27th January 2016[/editline] nvm thanks reddit

[QUOTE=MadBomber;49620732]Without spoiling much why is 5s campaign better than 4?[/QUOTE] H5 has a terrible story but the gameplay/level and enemy design are top notch. 4 had a slightly better story but way worse everything else

Are there any good players on PC cause I haven't found any :(

Is there a solution to the audio clipping all the time in Halo Online? It sounds like a lack of audio channels or something. Like it can only play 10 sounds at a time.

[QUOTE=343N;49622908]stuff[/QUOTE] This has been in since Halo 3 I think. It's a type of pseudo HTML/XML markup which allows for changing UI stuff like color of text, etc. Guess Halo 5 doesn't filter or escape that text properly which allows you to do this, lol. Here's a list of shit to try [URL="http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:0pRt0E8ImgYJ:www.modhalo.net/index.php%3F/topic/12461-colored-text/+&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us"]here[/URL] If you look at some of the menus in earlier ElDewrito versions, it's got remnants of this in there (Halo Online removed the system from the engine entirely so the text just shows up like it would).

apparently the guy who made those 3 pics in the album i posted actually used BBCode I was thinking it might have been bbcode but never bothered to try it, nonetheless, the guy who made those pics made a video about it..

[QUOTE=MadBomber;49620732]Without spoiling much why is 5s campaign better than 4?[/QUOTE] It isn't. It somehow manages to be worse which is a true accomplishment

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;49624617]It isn't. It somehow manages to be worse which is a true accomplishment[/QUOTE] Eh, imo they are both on the same level of mediocrity.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;49624617]It isn't. It somehow manages to be worse which is a true accomplishment[/QUOTE] Nah you just hate anything 343

[QUOTE=MadBomber;49620732]Without spoiling much why is 5s campaign better than 4?[/QUOTE] Garbage story, garbage boss fights Really great everything else

I know this is totally unrelated to halo but its funny all the same. Saber fucked up again just like they did to Halo Online [img]http://i.imgur.com/2ba3m9P.png[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/P6f5tt5.jpg[/img]
