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

[QUOTE=Delta616;48994050]Frame rate drops to 20 or less? System instability, can't maintain 1080p, it crashed consoles.[/QUOTE] Aside from the resolution and framerate when did any of that stuff happen to anyone? I've played every Halo with split screen and didn't have anyone of those issues, no one I knew did either. Also 5 already doesn't run at 1080p at all times, it bottoms out at 1152x810.

Halo 2 Anniversary, Halo 5 Development. I'm aware of the game's adaptive resolution, doesn't change the point. Lack of local/Splitscreen sucks, but it's something they did try for but new hardware can't handle it, and Microsoft made it difficult.

They didn't even know they couldn't include it till like the last two months of dev time too. It was more like "of course we can do it! Oh fuck, well we thought we could, shit." Then "no lmao get another xbox"

It's not the Xbox One's fault, the original Xbox handled it with Halo 1 and 2 just fine, it's the incompetence of 343 and their shit engine.

They were like "yeah this seems like it works" and the day it launches they were like "shit's fucked". They must be one of the worst companies when it comes to testing their games.

A lot went wrong with MCC but that's because of all the outsourcing they did. It's not 100% 343's fault.

Picked up Halo 5! if anyone wants to play online sometime add rob0tman5.

[QUOTE=Fat White Lump;48994252]They must be one of the worst companies when it comes to testing their games.[/QUOTE] Stop pretending you understand how game development and consoles work. Lack of Splitscreen doesn't make 343 incompetent, or the engine is shit. You won't be saying that when you see what the engine does in Forge, and 343 has been a ways from incompetent recently. Split screening = rendering the same data twice on the same machine.

Rooster Teeth is doing a Co-Op LP if you want to see the different HUDs [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ed-UJqbBuD0[/URL] Buck's kind of resembles the ODST HUD, but not quite. It is the right colour, that is about it. [editline]27th October 2015[/editline] The little compass at the top moves, but it doesn't have any directions on it, or objective markers it is just a cosmetic thing.

Split screening = rendering the same data twice on the same machine.[/QUOTE] There are certain things I expect out of a Halo sequel. Lack of splitscreen totally does make them incompetent when every other Halo game was able to pull it off, same with every other engine. Here's the definition of [url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/incompetent]incompetence[/url]: [quote]not competent; lacking qualification or ability; incapable[/quote] They were incapable of making a game up to the standards set by previous Halo games. All they showed off from forge was that you can move multiple items at once, that's great, that should have been added a long time ago. But it's far from mind blowing. Yes I know how split screen works. A machine with a pentium III and 64mb of ram was able to run Halo 1 & 2 with 4 player split screen. I understand it was a totally different engine and a more competent developer but they took advantage of the hardware that was available to them, and scaled the engine and what they were doing with it accordingly. How 343 couldn't figure out how to get at least 2 players running with hardware that is 12 years more advanced, with 3 years of development time is beyond me.

Alright, I admit I was going overboard with my reaction to lack of split screen. Might still get Halo 5, just need to look at my money situation.

Anyone wanna play Arena or Warzone?

Just finished it. I don't really understand all the hate its getting. Was great :v:

i wouldn't be surprised if "split screen is back, now you can play through the whole campaign and jump into multiplayer with 3 of your buddies in the room with you" was pushed as a big selling point of halo 6, with some employee saying literally those exact words in one of those lead-up developer vidocs they do

[QUOTE=Delta616;48994609]Anyone wanna play Arena or Warzone?[/QUOTE] When I get home, sure

Those that have played it, how is Warzone? From what I've heard the story is pretty bad, which is unfortunate but not a surprise. However, the multiplayer was the wild card for me. I loved the way that Warzone looks like Battlefield Halo. Is it any good?

trying to enjoy halo 5 but my party chat isnt working, friends can hear me but i cant hear them, got open nat tried all the bullshit troubleshooting of resetting , changing settings ect. maybe the default mic that came with my console is broke, waiting for my good mic and y splitter from amazon.

Warzone is kindof like Battlefield Halo, and it's fucking epic.

Is it just me or is getting the 9GB update slow as shit?

neat, you can spectate games in progress now.

Did anyone else not get spartan assault for preordering from xbox store

Alright, i'm late to the party, and i also forgot to buy a mic. But I done bought me a copy of halo 5

The directing style of these cutscenes and the pacing gives me some heavy ass Law & Order vibes

Finally installed and ready to play.

So has anyone else not gotten their Mark VI armor, despite getting the cairo station achievement in MCC?

So just picked the game up. Installing now. Changing gamertag, will post once done

God damn the new binary rifle is so much fucking better all the Promethean weapons are

Played the game for a bit and I actually really like it. Which is surprising because I don't like the Halo series that much.
