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

Thats a good point. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[QUOTE=xalener;49699914]Yeah, but that's built on an officially and legally released Halo title. This is based on a leaked build of the game meant for closed testing.[/QUOTE] Albeit the full game got shut down after a short run because it pretty much failed under expectations in a market that didn't want it in the first place. I doubt that changes the legality at all for obvious reasons, but still, if we hadn't caught this (or a later version) then the game would be dead and probably inaccessible for good at this point already.

weren't the source files for Halo Online just left up somewhere by the russian devs and that's how that started? crazy if so

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;49700443]weren't the source files for Halo Online just left up somewhere by the russian devs and that's how that started? crazy if so[/QUOTE] If I remember right from a statement in a news node thread, someone basically used a trick to directly download from urls, and then took such a link for another game the server hosts had, put something like "halo-online" in place of the original game, and it worked, someone accidentally left a beta of the game on the servers.

Playing Halo 5 with a 360 controller is weird.

I used a 360 controller for halo 5 for a month, went back to my One controller and it was so much harder for me to aim

After using the Xbone controller for so long the 360 controller feels mushy.

I still much prefer the 360 controller. Just feels better in my hands, it fills my grip and forms to my hands better. I actually think the One's face buttons feel mushy in comparison.

To me the Xbone face buttons are more clicky. And the triggers on the 360 controller feel awful now.

i sincerely believe that the controller for the One is better than the 360 in just about every way going back to the 360 feels so clunky now

The Xbone controllers are superior in every way as long as it's a 3.5mm model. The original ones have shitty bumpers, and shorter battery life in my experience. [editline]9th February 2016[/editline] And there's been no news on Halo Wars 2 other than the announcement trailer has there?

[QUOTE=Makol;49710216] And there's been no news on Halo Wars 2 other than the announcement trailer has there?[/QUOTE] I completely forgot about that.

We'll probably get a release trailer shortly before the game at E3. Seems like they're kind of downplaying it compared to other games in the series.

Frankly I'm more excited about Halo Wars 2 than I was for Halo 5. I like Halo Wars, alot.

halo wars is the best rts for consoles i honestly loved it even though i would have never asked for it to be made

[QUOTE=Killjoy;49719983]Frankly I'm more excited about Halo Wars 2 than I was for Halo 5. I like Halo Wars, alot.[/QUOTE] Me too. Maybe because it will be the first Halo game on the PC since Halo 2. (No those Spartan assault games don't count)

Looks like it's holding to the Bungie art style a lot more too

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;49720625]Looks like it's holding to the Bungie art style a lot more too[/QUOTE] Which is one of the reasons I feel more excited for it. Seeing the Bungie style again (if we don't count Halo 2A) really feels to me like its the first real new Halo game I've seen since the Bungie's last one. Eh, call me a hardcore purist.

halo 2a has the best multiplayer visuals, no other game comes remotely close even though it has a different style, none of the other games come close to the graphical quality and crispness that it has

Xbox games on Win10 is real now, boys. Here's hoping H5 and the MCC come to PC! [editline]11th February 2016[/editline] However, MCC would NOT replace Halo Online. Afaik Win10 games are tough to crack and harder to mod because of Xbox Live.

If a newer mainstream Halo game does get released on pc, I hope theres a FoV slider option added. Even on console, Halo has a pretty bad FoV.

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;49723363]It's crossbuying not emulation..[/QUOTE] I know, just Xbox kiddies are gonna complain about the PC hackers if they haven't put any DRK in there. I don't know, I don't have a WinStore copy of RotTR

Holy shit, finally some gamemodes

Is that a Noble Six armor set?

a neat little touch in the req reveal image [img]https://i.imgur.com/kMDq8Tu.png[/img] [t]http://7fny.com/sub/w/w_1188935064042_tav0OhIp.jpg[/t] [editline]13th February 2016[/editline] also, looks like we're getting a magnum loadout variant.... finally

That's a tasty update. It's minor but I'm so happy to have emblem colour options, if only we could still customise our own like in previous titles.
