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

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;52180822]Games always overrides books when it comes to canon. I always just imagined that you could fix the warthog runs length by just having it curve to stack on top of itself rather then be a straight line[/QUOTE] You're kidding, right? Game > book except when it comes to what Warfleet will do with the Warthog run? Canon is canon: Games do not trump books and books do not trump games. Even under Bungie, there were major exceptions to the whole "games > books" rule when it came to the Forerunners, the Spartans, UNSC ships, etc. [QUOTE=Zeos;52181100]So the Spirit of Fire's crew are like, infinitely better than every other UNSC company right?[/QUOTE] They're not supposed to be but yeah, they are.

[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;52183565]If there's ever a conflict the game takes presidence[/QUOTE] And outside the Fall of Reach, you're going to have a difficult time proving that. Fact of the matter is, whether you like it or not, the books and games both have different amounts of canon. The games are [I]generally[/I] canon but in many areas the books take precedence.

I'd trust the books more in technical detail and such, for the games things like that tend to be written and then forgotten for plot convenience.

Also gameplay reasons, don't forget that plasma weapons are a fuckton more deadly in the books and have a faster projectile speed

Yeah of course they have to make exceptions. Like the warthog run was cool and fun and cinematic but it literally makes no sense structurally. The books can spend like fifteen pages describing that the [I]Autumn[/I] is 1.whatever kilometers long and this many decks and whatever etc

Slightly different question, but what's the name of the sound effect they used for 343 Guilty Spark and 2401 Penitent Tangent where it sounds like some part of the pitch of their voice is going up and down all the time? I'm not sure how to explain it, and I don't know if Exuberant Witness does it as well...

You could probably achieve that effect with a flanger. Though it's probably a mix of filters.

Want to see a new ODST style game so badly

Taken from Le Reddit [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/b299iCd.png[/IMG] What are the chances of pc getting the full Halo 5 experience, announced at E3? Personally i'd like to be able to play Warzone, surprised Microsoft haven't done it yet, considering the amount of money they have made. Although i feel it would be better on Steam, by looking at Halo Wars.

I just fucking want Warzone. It's so PERFECT for a F2P game.

I could see PC getting all the MP stuff, but not single player.

you can actually get Warzone gametypes and map variants on PC, map variants don't load though (duh) and gametypes don't have the same UI features as when played on xbox (req menu, press X to respawn/change spawn etc.)

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52235694]I could see PC getting all the MP stuff, but not single player.[/QUOTE] Dude I don't think anyone would be interested in Halo 5 single player anyway

Might be a banished campaign for HW2.

does anyone else miss this [img]http://imgur.com/iEhYvGy.gif[/img] because i thought when they were changing it they were removing it, but having 4 spartans just stand and stare is a bit awkward tbh, but the gif, if as 'FUCK YEAH BRO' as it seems, is a lot less [I]boring[/I]

Even if the full version does come to PC, it will just die immediately if it's locked to the Windows Store.

Looks like a group of dudes who just won a game of horseshoes. It adds more to the "Wargames" simulation they have going on, but I'm not a fan of that either. I'd like to think that I'm actually killing real Spartans in multiplayer and would rather the lore behind it be unexplained.

Went onto the old Bungie Account, damn they did right with screenshots and everything, wish they'd bring that back for Halo 6. Anyway found an old picture from Campaign that i could never recreate correctly. The Scarab launched me into the air and out to the kill boundaries. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/F6EHIhj.jpg[/IMG]

Well there is no need for a website hosting screenshots because the X-Box has a built in screenshot feature. Theatre mode really does need to come back to SP though.

Next leader for HW2 confirmed. It's [sp]Johnson. With the Prototype. And the Cyclops. And the Mantis. And the giant mech from that Halo 4 map.[/sp]

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52252114]Source?[/QUOTE] [media]https://twitter.com/ske7ch/status/865678600283881472[/media] If you watch the stream they play the new leader. Btw [sp]It's not the original voice actor saying his lines. The original voice actor couldn't do them but only because it was during the voice actor strike.[/sp]

[QUOTE=FlandersNed;52252181] Btw [sp]It's not the original voice actor saying his lines. The original voice actor couldn't do them but only because it was during the voice actor strike.[/sp][/QUOTE] Oh FUCK no

Worth mentioning [sp]It sounds pretty close to the original. Not exact, but pretty close.[/sp]

The new guy sounds just like him
