I wanna talk halo.
I miss it.
It was my game. My GAME. My brother and I? We spent the first sentient years of his life arguing who's turn it was on the xbox, who was screen cheating,and so on. It was beautiful. Though I played the prior instalments, when I first got an xbox the only game we had for the longest time was halo 3, and we loved it and worshiped it and drove it into the ground. The ammount of time I spent online in halo 3 was... really indicative of a future habit. I even had one of those rages that I've never had since: We were getting recon and doing the last mission of 3 in ghosts with iron on. My Parents turned the xbox off when the [I]forward onto dawn[/I] was in clear sight. (I thought my parents owed me for the upset for the longest time)
And then ODST came out and it was alright, and then wars that had some interesting ideas, and then reach and it didn't live up to my hype but was pretty good.
And waypoint came along and... Yeah, nah, that's not for me.
And then 4. Some liked it. Some. Not me. I get a little annoyed when people praise it for the personal story, which I thought poor, and the shitting on the forerunners, not to mention the art change, rubbed me wrong.
And then five. Yeah, nah, I don't care if you've got Nathan Fillion in on this. Not my story. I can't get into the multiplayer cause I'm a student and I'd need my very own XBox 1
Halo wars 2? An improvement, but as it doesn't erase all signs of 343's story (the suicide grunts are acceptable)
I feel I'm needy for some alt universe where 4 doesn't happen and chief is still floating around in space or something, as all arthurian kings should be.
or at least you're anywhere else during the war that lasted near 30 years.
Even a Kig-yar pirate simulator would excite me.
maybe an X-com mod.
I just need more haloverse
That isn't acknowlege prometheans,ancient humans, hard light being some kind of super magic omni-technology, spartan IV's or the saw (fuck that weapon)
Also, the interplanetary war in the lore between the UNSC and dissidents most notably German fascists, and russian communists in around 2160 is stupid, I'm glad it's just a footnote.

If you have a decent computer, and ArmA 3. then Operation Trebuchet mod might be your cup of tea. It's a total mod for the game that adds in ODST drop pods, marines, pelicans, etc. I have it installed and play with it every once in a while, but by the sound of it, you might enjoy it. It completely ignores anything past Halo 3. Pretty neat. However it doesn't change the Arma gameplay. so if that isn't what you enjoy then I'm afraid the mod won't be much interest to you.
Early versions of some of the Halo Wars 2 cinematics.

So I was thinking.
Halo 5 would've done so well if they'd just marketed it as [I]Halo:Arena[/I] and scrapped the campaign. Halo 5's mp alone would've gotten overwhelmingly positive reviews, which would have meant more people would've brought the game, and although you couldn't market it as full price, you'd probably make a lot more money out of it.
Similarly, I think they could've used reach to milk the franchise with endless expansion packs and updates.
Reach is missing a few things from past halo games, but it's full of all sorts of things to compensate, and it shouldn't be that hard to re-add stuff or change details. 343 could've happily just released waves upon waves of expansion packs of reach. New single player campaigns, new firefights, more weapons, different types of playable characters, and it would've been pretty low budget, easy to do stuff.
so i just found out halo 2 anniversary has this skull that wasn't there on launch called feather

also, interestingly, halo 2 anniversary renders all (almost, or more than regular h2) parts of the map at all times, though you don't collide with it as expected
I figure I'll keep info about this project here, since I'm not sure about Halo's rep on this forum to the extent of making a separate thread for it.

I'm Greg here.
When is it going to be out and what are the recommended specs? (if any)
[QUOTE=343N;52009619]so i just found out halo 2 anniversary has this skull that wasn't there on launch called feather[/QUOTE]
Yeah it was a bonus skull attached to some 12 month gold cards, they gave it to everyone around march 2015
Not to sound too much like a dick but I just don't think Installation 01 looks that good or interesting

I still get surprised by how much you sound like Critikal.

For me its a good prompt to keep working on portfolio pieces, and the team is a joy to work with. I'll defend the project more for their sake than the project itself.
That being said, the shit you see here is from a ground up rebuilD of every system that's cone together in the last 4 months. From the inside, it's pretty damn impressive. Just a year ago, it was a fps template with a bunch of placeholder CMTSPV3 assets.
I've only been on the team for about 4 months, so I saw the teardown and rebuild firsthand. It's only been exponentally getting better.

Seeing this makes me hopeful. Leave it to the fans to make an actual Halo experience.
Keep up the great work.

so yeah, halo 2 anniversary doesn't load geometry as the level goes on, and instead renders the map all at once.
[hd]https://youtu.be/ZQQpkyyGor4[/hd]
also fun fact, there's a scarab gun on outskirts, and it's inside the scarabs beam that you see at the end of the video, and you can grab it if you position and launch yourself properly in the water
[editline]26th March 2017[/editline]
i doubt anyone cares, i just found it interesting :d

I think the gameplay looks pretty swanky.
You show me a working warthog and you've got me sold. It's kinda weird that you'd show off a map that looks like it was designed for vehicles without a single vehicle. And I think the great vehicles, particularly the warthog, are what makes halo so different from similar shooters.

Damn that's awesome, seems like a way to make some awesome screenshots or wallpapers. Never got an Xbox One, so wouldn't know, but is there a theater mode for Anniversary?
[QUOTE=death2sarge;52014601]is there a theater mode for Anniversary?[/QUOTE]
No. Its still the original engine.
[QUOTE=Tuskin;52014610]No. Its still the original engine.[/QUOTE]
iirc, Halo 2 was going to have theater but the Xbox storage was too small, it has a whole 8gb of storage, so they scraped it.

The project is still in development, how is it weird they show show off a map without vehicles?
[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;52014797]iirc, Halo 2 was going to have theater but the Xbox storage was too small, it has a whole 8gb of storage, so they scraped it.[/QUOTE]
Hmm? Theatre files are merely megabytes in size.

There's a warthog in some older footage

Dunno, maybe they were bigger, but its in the beta menu

Could have been CPU or RAM tho, not sure, All I remember is hardware wasn't good enough
i heard it was cut because there wasn't enough time
That'd probably be the most believable reason considering Halo 2 was planned to have several more levels but they hit their deadline.

The amount of content that Halo 2 was meant to have is pretty incredible.
Bear in mind that the game was basically thrown together in about a year and that 3's plot is just the second half of 2 (and 2 isn't even the full first half they planned!)
I wonder how huge Halo 2 would have been if it was properly completed?
