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

Jun's and Jorge's armors are in. You can see them briefly in the teaser. And the map is just a remix of Torque.

I'm not dreadfully worried about the map being a Torque remix, having something that doesn't look plastic and shiny is all I want.

JORGE ARMOR HOLY FUCK AND IT ACTUALLY HAS ANGLES

Jun's armour has the scarf/hood or whatever as well [t]http://i.imgur.com/h7PpSqw.png[/t]

That's his lunch box.

That isn't what I was referring to :|

HOLY FUCK THOSE NOBLE TEAM ARMORS :hypeisreal:[B][I] HYPE TRAIN [/I][/B]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50077667]That isn't what I was referring to :|[/QUOTE] Either way that's his lunch box and no one can tell me otherwise.

[QUOTE=Makol;50077634]That's his lunch box.[/QUOTE] I laughed so hard that I think this just beat Kat's ass jokes in my book

So why are they showing off NOBLE sets now? Shouldn't that be released in the Memories of Reach pack? Edit: Nevermind, I forgot this was the preview for next month's update.

A trailer for Infection, would this be the first halo game to do this? Game's been out 5 months and only now are they bringing out infection? Seems like they're adding new things every few months to stop the game from getting boring.

[QUOTE=Tuskin;50077319]Did you post that before he had a video? [editline]5th April 2016[/editline] Kat's armour doesn't have robo arm :( [editline]5th April 2016[/editline] Also no ugly infected models from Halo 4 [editline]5th April 2016[/editline] [video]https://imgur.com/a/NXaQ2[/video][/QUOTE] 343i finally does something good? Wow I'm shocked. Time to get the MKIV Helmet and some Noble armour so I can finally stop looking like a horrendous SIV edit: Why has it taken them this long to make Halo look like Halo.

At least it's free :T I do wonder if this has anything to do with those supposed last minute campaign re-writes

Remind me never to set deadlines ever. I spent all fucking day trying to sort out why this project refuses to save. I'm reimporting assets right now. Not giving another eta because it seems that setting then guarantees I miss them...

[QUOTE=Killjoy;50074094]On a less "wat" note. Ironically, though 343 does not make great Halo games, I feel like they could [I]own[/I] if they made their own IP. They obviously have a lot of talent and ideas, but its not Halo. They are fantastic game devs though. If only they were given freedom to make something besides Halo, I feel they could really find their element. I know they aren't going to be making anything other than Halo, but its a nice thought.[/QUOTE] It's funny because with the amount of talent they have they could have probably easily created a new IP that MS could cash in on. They've got some great artists onboard, even though unfortunately I don't think their art style fits Halo. [editline]6th April 2016[/editline] oh shit look at that new content

[QUOTE=xalener;50078878]I feel like this is just the side effect of a much worse practice, which is releasing the game incomplete and then shipping out the rest of the game later. At least it's free :T I do wonder if this has anything to do with those supposed last minute campaign re-writes[/QUOTE] Wouldn't really consider it 'free' due to their being no split screen or offline play. Meaning you have to pay xbox gold to play infection. Back in halo 3 i had quite a few nice experiences playing zombies on system link or of course campaign on co-op. Saw that post on the 'last minute re-writes' on reddit. Kind of made Hunt the Truth pointless, which had a whole lead up of halo 5 being darker. I somehow doubt they continue with the side story with black box in it. Although i'm starting to see in terms of plot why Microsoft is making a Halo 7, 8, and 9.

At this point I think 343 just needs to prove that they can make a good story. What I'd do for them to make a Halo 5 spin-off like ODST (written by Joseph Staten, too) set on Genesis that just focused on recreating the atmosphere of the original Halo games.

Time to get the MKIV Helmet and some Noble armour so I can finally stop looking like a horrendous SIV edit: Why has it taken them this long to make Halo look like Halo.[/QUOTE] Don't you ever get tired of being a whining baby? Halo 5 was certainly a good game, the only lacking element was a story to match the quality of the rest of the game. A good deal of the armors looks fantastic, some don't.

[QUOTE=death2sarge;50077995]A trailer for Infection, would this be the first halo game to do this? Game's been out 5 months and only now are they bringing out infection? Seems like they're adding new things every few months to stop the game from getting boring.[/QUOTE] Exactly. It's been said since launch. It's called marketing and it works; just look at some of the people getting excited in this thread.

Honestly, they're doing a model similar to an MMO like WoW. They release the expansion with a set amount of content that they know will hold over the playerbase for a while and then start working on the next chunk of free content that will be released in a few month when the content that the game released with starts becoming stale and people begin to lose interest. They repeat the process 3 or 4 times until they've hit the end of their cycle and it starts getting to the time where they need to put all their resources into finishing up the next expansion. Sure all the stuff they're releasing now could have been in the base game if the game got delayed longer for it all to be finished (and yes, there are some things like game modes that really could have been in there at launch) but the point is that its a cycle of free content thats supposed to keep you coming back to the game over its lifetime to see and try the new things added. And its only free because, instead of having subscriptions like WoW, it has microtransactions. Everything I said is true of dlc for any game, its just this model of free content paid for by microtransactions that makes it feel more like free updates in WoW than paid map packs in a BF or a CoD

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;50080744]Isn't there like 150 armour sets? only 10 look good.[/QUOTE] Let me put it this way: There are only a few armour sets that look good and look like they would have fit in the established, mostly realistic artstyle that Bungie had, while the rest are firmly in the 343i arstyle which is for the most part over the top and even more influenced by anime than the Bungie artsyle was (and which I think neither of us like at all).

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;50080744]Isn't there like 150 armour sets? only 10 look good.[/QUOTE] No, most of them look good. [editline]adth[/editline] This post was satirical. [editline]aerg[/editline] You can stop rating disagree..

[QUOTE=Adam.GameDev;50080904]God I hate how the guns sounds since H4[/QUOTE] What do you mean? Where did a gun fire in that video? Plus, the guns sound much better now than say... Halo 3. One thing 343 does good is the sound effects. The guns actually sound like guns now, and the assault rifle doesn't sound like a typewriter. Edit: And for the love of God, Spartan, use disagree instead of dumb. It's no wonder everyone here hates your fucking guts. And don't worry guys, I'm getting pretty close too.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;50080953]"I wonder what helmet I'll wear today? Rhino horn or Rhino horn?"[/QUOTE] [B]Baited[/B]. You rated my post dumb. So does this mean you realise how dumb and annoying you sound to everyone else? Everyone has opinions, you're allowed to disagree with them but for the love of god stop being such an ass and calling people out just because they have a different opinion.

holy shit, halo 4 doesn't fuck around with texture variation. Here is what I have to sort through: [t]http://i.imgur.com/C9JguIw.png[/t] This is also probably why A) UT was freaking out about too many shaders, since every material had every one of these textures applied (importing errror, not a halo 4 feature) B) 3ds max kept crashing when I looked at a preview of the model C) No textures imported
