The Halo Thread V13: Great, this guy's OP again? - Games

Kinsano looks as if she's wearing a GEN2 techsuit, she at least has the gloves (possibly forearms) from the GEN2 version since they look literally ripped right from halo 5 how weird that they'd include elements of newer designs on characters that are meant to be from 20 years before said tech comes around in the lore

[QUOTE=ihatecompvir;51863846]It's pretty easy to make bipeds spawnable through Forge, if I recall correctly. They don't sync up great (or even walk because theres 0 pathfinding on MP maps), [B]but in a 16 player MP game on Sandtrap, you could add in a lot of stuff like stationary respawning Jackal snipers, a stationary Scarab, and a lot of other stuff to make for a really intense game.[/B] [/QUOTE] This needs to become reality one day

TBH, she looks like a character out of ME to me

i never even realised ED 5.0 came out. what was the change log for that again? [editline]24th February 2017[/editline] here's a piece of modern art for ya [t]http://i.imgur.com/jx74dvZ.jpg[/t]

[QUOTE=343N;51867539]i never even realised ED 5.0 came out. what was the change log for that again?[/QUOTE] 0.5 was Sandtrap, Last Resort, Narrows, High Ground, Standoff, and The Pit as well as a few other fixes. It's been a year since that update, almost hard to believe

So maybe she's a survivor of the Banished attacks? Someone had to be using the Mjolnir left behind at the Ark.

Don't know the details on Spartan IVs and their techsuits but are they still like the MKIV and first generations suits where they're reactive/adaptive and essentially exoskeletons that only spartans can operate? Without at least some changes to suit tech she should not be wearing the suit at all [sp]or we might just be looking too far into what is possibly just a design oversight, granted it's a dumb oversight[/sp]

I'm not really sure. We've never had a confirmed weight on individual Mjolnir components, so long as it's powered down I guess a normal person could wear it. The suit looks pretty run down from what's shown and the elbow joint is damaged. I don't think it's an oversight either, it's an almost exact 1:1 replica of the Halo 5 techsuit.

Might just be based on the same tech.

ODST is best soundtrack [video=youtube;ew0XWd-blwE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew0XWd-blwE[/video]

At this point Spirit is probably gonna be scavenging and magyvering up any advanced tech they can find.

I finally got my Halo Wars DE code. For some strange reason, when I redeemed it on PC I got some DLC for Forza, and started freaking out. I go to my Xbox and redeem it, and I get Halo Wars. Really weird, but hey I'm not complaining.

[video=youtube;VVUevQ7S1MM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVUevQ7S1MM[/video] Thought this was pretty interesting.

Have seen the new studio in person, only been to the old one, and it looks like they added a good amount of stuff to the museum from that footage. Still find it funny that most of the diorama from the Halo 3 ads is actually at Studio D for Xbox. There's a lot of interesting/hidden details in those little models.

So is there a discord for halo wars 2 meet ups? I want to play regular MP, not blitz and it seems no one is playing on PC.

Why did no one tell me that the AI in Halo Wars 2 is randomly adorable

New lore from the Legendary Crate 4 is here. Spoilers for Halo Wars and minor spoilers (unless you've watched the trailers) for Halo Wars 2.

Dunno why, but I always thought ONI had picked up their trail decades ago and found nothing but destruction at 0459.[/sp]

Heh, Isabel's alias for the captain's intership mail address is 'Bossman'.

can i just say that the intro cutscene to Cortana on the MCC at 1080/60 is fucking 👌 [editline]2nd March 2017[/editline] and when you play co-op it changes voice lines and fuckin adds another banshee to account for the arbiter man fuck

The attention to detail with Halo 3's coop is just awesome. And the fact that the other two elites even have these badass backstories.

hmm, i wonder if the cortana cutscene adds more banshees if there's 3 or 4 more people but i doubt it. [media]https://youtu.be/cl8CNA-_wac[/media] [media]https://youtu.be/yLMrmoI61Z8[/media] but man, the music and the atmosphere and the fuckin detail god dAMN (and probably nostalgia)

Been playing through the whole MCC, for the achievements and to experience the series again. I've also been playing it entirely with headphones on for maximum enjoyment, and I never realized how fantastic the music in ODST is. Probably my favorite soundtrack of the whole series, absolutely great stuff. It makes the gameplay so much better to play it with headphones. Because H3 and up were never on PC, I'd never heard their music through headphones in the context of the game itself, so it's a treat playing it like this.

Marty's music has made such an irreparable impression on me that I can't help but feel extreme and deep nostalgia. Even hearing it the first time, I felt the nostalgia for the events that came before Halo we never got to see. Mystery is the best part of Halo.

[QUOTE=overwatch pvt;51897326]The attention to detail with Halo 3's coop is just awesome.

I wonder what the plot would've been like if Halo 2 had been like if it was completed as originally intended (i.e. Halo 2 and 3 were released as 1 game).

Surprised nobody noticed that in the Cortana intro, when Arbiter is present for the co-op version, Johnson's voiceover changes from "Arbiter will do the same with the Elites" to "Shipmaster will do the same with the elites" little details
