Still haven't played on Viking yet and I've played around 50 BTB games

"Made by Bungie/343 , ported by dany5639 usingShockfire's tools, ported from last russian Halo Online build." Woah, so they had the Halo 2 Anniversary BR in H:O?

So apparently DOOM has better Halo armor than Halo does now. [t]https://40.media.tumblr.com/4f49170fe648c5c3e03987f7c5f928e0/tumblr_inline_o52x2ovcgI1rzbrr1_540.png[/t]

Some of them look really nice but there are a few that look just as bad as some of the Halo 5 armors. [editline]3rd April 2016[/editline] Plus you have to remember the MP team/studio for DOOM is Certain Affinity :v:

The fact I cant tell which game that would belong to is kinda bad

I can see it being confused for Halo, but not Titanfall or Destiny.

[QUOTE=Makol;50064230]I can see it being confused for Halo, but not Titanfall or Destiny.[/QUOTE] It looks a bit like Titan armor in Destiny, and the helmet looks like the ones in Titanfall As someone who still hasn't touched Halo 5 (holy shit i need to fix this already), the only reason I know it's not Destiny or Titanfall is because I've played both of those games exhaustively, and that it doesn't trigger my gag reflex leads me to believe it's not Halo either

Am I the only one that thinks Scavenger is a bit...unbalanced? Most BTB Team Slayer games there usually spawn one team on the upper area and one on the lower. Whoever has the higher ground has a massive advantage from the beginning.

[QUOTE=SteelSliver;50063457]imho it looks like shit with the Halo 3 armors, looks way better with the ho models[/QUOTE] I'm sorry but you're wrong.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;50064423]I'm sorry but you're wrong.[/QUOTE] I'm not trying to start anything here, but your opinion isn't an absolute fact just because you don't like the models in HO, dude. Whether you like it or not, other people will have different thoughts on what they think looks better; claiming that they're wrong just because their opinion differs from yours is a bit dickish. Besides, I'm pretty sure the arms for HO would actually look a lot better with the H2A battle rifle than it currently does in that screenshot if the rigging wasn't as janky around the wrist as it is now. :v:

Obviously now H:O needs a mod that adds the Halo 2 Anniversary MP armors. [sp]even though it's like, three unfortunately[/sp]

[QUOTE=RikohZX;50065206]Obviously now H:O needs a mod that adds the Halo 2 Anniversary MP armors. [sp]even though it's like, three unfortunately[/sp][/QUOTE] Funny you should say that, because all of the Elite Armour in Halo Online comes from Halo 2 Anniversary.

I'm sure once we have a way to extract files from XB1 games we'll see it.

Is there any reason why the Halo games aren't on Windows 10 other than for Xbox One sales? I really wanna play the Halo campaigns, but I don't have an Xbox One and I don't really want to go out and spend $299 just to play Halo

Is usually accompanied by "Doesn't Microsoft like money???"

Exclusives sell consoles and Xbox doesn't have much else going for it.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;50064423]I'm sorry but you're wrong.[/QUOTE] i dont see why your opinion is fact and mine isn't, goy and yes, it would look better if the rigging wasn't so fucked up the halo 3 viewmodels just are too low poly and aren't detailed enough to suit the h2a br, especially since dany made them look like plastic

Which is sad since Halo 5 had the largest launch success of the franchise but Xbox One still isn't exactly packing super strong against the Playstation 4 despite admirable catch-up amounts.

Did halo 5 have the largest launch success of the franchise? Maybe I've just moved outside of social groups that play it, or it's just not cool to talk about things now that I'm allegedly legally an adult in all nations, but really... I can't see how it can be. Nobody had their hopes up after 4 Fewer people bought xbox one's (cause buying something like that fir a game is silly) The marketing effort they put in must have cost billions My friend who ownes it won't let me play the singleplayer on account of how allegedly hopelessly garbage it is. Nobody I know talks about it, which again, might be the age thing, but who knows.

[QUOTE=SteelSliver;50068224]especially since dany made them look like plastic[/QUOTE] Well, it's painted metal. It ought to look more like plastic than anything else.

[QUOTE=The Jack;50068460]My friend who ownes it won't let me play the singleplayer on account of how allegedly hopelessly garbage it is.[/QUOTE] From what I hear the story is absolute garbage, but the gameplay and scenarios are pretty fun. Up until the end where it suddenly flings itself into the toilet and doesn't want to come back out.

It's paced a lot like a more expansive version of that. There's a depressing lack of open vehicle focused arena spaces though. I think there's literally one mission where you're given vehicles and you're not put on a track, and it's right at the end of the game. But the Sanghelios mission. Oh god, fucking perfection. The story is farts. It's like someone found a 1st draft David Goyer Halo movie script and expanded it into a game.

[QUOTE=The Jack;50068460] Nobody had their hopes up after 4 [/QUOTE] Oh, believe me, I know a bunch of people (and one guy in particular) who were unwaveringly confident that Halo 5 would be the best installment in the franchise yet. The letdown was apparently so bad that the one guy [I]completely[/I] flipped his opinion and went from defending 343 and the new media with bared teeth, to shitting on them nonstop. This is not an exaggeration. He legitimately felt betrayed. [QUOTE=The Jack;50068460] Fewer people bought xbox one's (cause buying something like that fir a game is silly) [/QUOTE] And yet Microsoft has relied on this very phenomenon heavily in the past. It's called a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killer_application]killer app[/url] and for years, Halo 1 and 2 were that for the original Xbox and Halo 3 was that for the 360. [QUOTE=The Jack;50068460] The marketing effort they put in must have cost billions [/QUOTE] Maybe not billions, but yeah, it seems like the story told by marketing (i.e. Hunt the Truth) was like an order of magnitude better than the game's story.

So I found a way to rip models from halo 4 and shove them in Unreal 4 in less than half an hour. Here's one of the results, using stock UE4 assets (I didn't bother to convert textures for a personal project-- you'll note that the forerunner detail illumination is metal when it should be glowing blue) [t]http://i.imgur.com/nm1MZbW.jpg[/t] Would anyone be interested in seeing how a particular scene would look in UE4's physically based rendering? I'd spend a lot more time on materials of course. I've found that a lot of halo 4 actually looks really good if you swap out the plastic forerunner shaders for more metallic ones. If you're interested, just reply to this with a level and general description of the area, or a link to a video/picture of the area. I'll do my best to recreate it in UE4 in a week or so. I can also do this with halo 3 but I'm going to be converting halo 4 materials because personally I'm really curious how H4 would look with everything metallic and not plastic

Halo 5 was a weird clause because a lot of people seemed to think 4 was just a 'transitional title'. Weaning into the role and trying to figure out their place with proper critique being applied for 5 hopefully. Instead 5 fixed certain problems, legitimately gave the gameplay a kick in the pants that doesn't harm it, improved the Forge, and then flubbed a lot more in response, including the "betrayal" of offline players because of performance and a story that was somehow even worse than the odd mess that was in 4. It's extremely polarizing.
