Last thread had some actual great Halo discussion once the /pol/tard got taken out back and PLINK'D
let's keep it that way
>>528415803I think not giving people a precision weapon makes the game boring. Everyone uses automatic weapons the exact same way because they have no depth. Their perceived power is less their own doing than 50+% of every Halo arsenal being unusable garbage.
>>528415890The melee was shit and it's all that matters.
Oh yeah, it's Sloplo time.
>>528415803>It's okay to have the Magnum, BR, Carbine, Needle Rifle, DMR and etc be strong, but they should especially NEVER be starting weapons. Range is a huge element of combat encounters in Halo PvP, due to the traditional starting AR/SMGs having fairly low range. What I think is especially fucked is how the BR in H2/3 can out-DPS the AR/SMG in those games at close range.I have to agree and I even give 343 some small credit for attempting (if failing) to try something about this. To continue that fighting analogy, I'm okay with the game's precision-headshot being A or S tier. But the other non-power weapons better at least be A tier or B tier. There are weapons like the Assault Rifle in many halos without a niche at all. Like said, in 2 and 3 a Battle Rifle can destroy you faster in the same ranges the game's UNSC automatic can.
I laugh when people say dual wielding is broken. No grenades for weapons that have nothing close to a Battle Rifle's range? Sure, MintBlitz clearing entire free-for-alls was TOTALLY dual wielding the whole time. Hell, if dual wielding ever returns and is 2 or 3 exactly, it would be almost useless.
>>528416082Reach destroyed melee in general.
>>528415803>It's okay to have the Magnum, BR, Carbine, Needle Rifle, DMR and etc be strong, but they should especially NEVER be starting weaponsYou couldn't be more wrong. AR starts are boring. DMR starts are far more fun.
>>528416068>Everyone uses automatic weapons the exact same way because they have no depth.That sounds more like shitty game design. CoD, Battlefield, Destiny, they all have ways to give automatics meaningful differences and skill gaps. We have archetypes all the time like the high damage, high recoil automatic rifle like the AK in many FPS or the low damage and RoF but low recoil precision like MW2 ACR or BO2 M27. That just says Bungie can't design Halo automatic weapons right.
>>528416418Who gives a shit about what mintblitz does? He'll quit out of a lobby if anyone in it has ever played Halo before.
>>528416490Just remember that H3's melee system was whoever had the highest remaining health won trades automatically.
>>528416385Can I get a quick rundown on who Agryna is and why everyone hates her?
>>528416653Then name any other player clearing whole lobbies using dual wield. Dual wield in Halo is always underpowered before the sheer might of the BR.

>>528416627>DMR starts are far more fun.Reach adding bloom to try and avoid the long-range poking of BRs but then giving DMR accurate longer-range first shots should tell you everything you need to know about Bungie weapon design.
Halo is solid, Halo 2 is salvaged by BR starts then everything after that is some weaker variation of Halo 2 without understanding the whys.
The BR is what started the cancer killing Halo. It introduced the series to the forced teamshot meta which is boring to watch. It was better in CE when the pistol could win fights for you and you weren't so reliant on your teammates. And I'm still salty about H4 competitive going with BR starts over the DMR due to some stupid nostalgia reasons even though it was objectively the worst precision rifle they could have chosen to start with.
>Brutes have too much shield
>but not enough health
I can feel the slop coursing through my veins.

>>528416641This. It's samey because there's nothing to do. There's no reward for high skill. Even the DMR isn't high skill with all the console aim assist. This is a dev skill issue.
>>528416490eh, I was fine with it
>>528416641>That sounds more like shitty game design.Yeah, it pretty much is. They were obviously designed for beginners, but that usage disappears quickly when you're playing online against people who are able to aimm.
>>528416663Only at launch, then they patched it to make trades more common.
>>528417143They tried once in 5 beta but the fans complained.
I love when you guys talk about halo from a competotive/meta standpoint.
It's cute.
For me? Halo is a party game best played with friends.
>>528417291AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>528417002>spoilerTHANK YOU
Holy shit, fuck Ghost's balding ass for going with that gun even pre-patch. And fuck 343 for not fixing the spread issue in the Turbo update.
>>528416641SWAT-556 with select fire here. Full auto is Jesus penis on steroids.
The whole 'only precision weapons can do headshot damage' and 'unshielded headshots instakill' thing was always a shitty mechanic that completely falls apart once you can aim with a mouse.
>>528417291>tfw youre not good enough to play in matchmaking because everyone else is too sweaty but you can't play with your casual friends because nobody else can use a BR or DMR to save their life
>>528417480Thankfully, Halo is a controller pad game, so this is a non issue for pretty much anybody that isnt a non-fan
>>528417002Reach was a great game and I was a big fan of DMR starts. Halo CE multiplayer could be annoying when you'd respawn with just your AR and pistol and you're walking around the map for ages trying to find something better.
>>528408714 #
the plasma repeater is actual fecal matter and the only weapon that surpasses it in being borderline non-functional dogshit is the spiker.
pros:
>it's an emergency health damage weapon when your human weapons are out of ammo>it does decent damage to vehicles when your team focus fires with you I guess???cons:
>slow projectiles inflate its ttk, are easier to dodge, and make it unusable even at midrange unlike the AR which is actually capable of lasering people across the map with tap and burst fire>takes 11 shots to break shields and 6 to kill health a whopping one less each than the AR which has a massive range and consistency advantage because it's hitscan and the ttk may as well be the same due to projectile speedso the plasma repeater is a close range weapon with the damage of an AR wow. what makes it even worse is when the repeater is compared to it's cousin the plasma rifle which outcompetes it in it's close range niche since it breaks shields in 5 shots which can be followed up with a melee
>Muh peepeesissyion gums!
Maybe precision some bitches faggot! LOL!
>>528417002Halo's sandbox revolving around 1 token precision gun is fucking retarded. "Muh skill" is a cope when brainlets can do better with a BR then a top player could with an AR or SMG, if you actually gave a shit about skill you'd encourage autos being given more of a skillgap so they can reward skill and be better guns, but anytime that happens BRfags whine because they really just wanna circlejerk about muh precision and being 1337 and hardcore regardless of skill.
>>528417480This is why some tried other crap but it never worked out. The Halo 5 beta attempted to change the AR by giving the AR a headshot bonus and tuning it so that accurate shots were possible, and it did work to a degree, but it was admittedly a bit OP and people bitched that their precious BR wasn't capable of solving every problem for them so it mostly got removed. All that did was reduce the skillgap with the AR and make spray and prayers less punished in comparison. They could've tweaked it and it would've been better but no, it was beta only.
This is what I mean when I say I give 343 credit for trying and failing. Are they still morons? Yes. But even when they get ideas with potential and need tweaking, it just gets dropped.
>>528417906The Spiker in Reach actually had a purpose in that it could fight Overshield players. For how infrequently those appeared.
>>528417875>Reach was a great gamelol no. I don't even know if Halo 3 is "great" when all is said and done.
Reach is just fine.
What's wrong with those gargantuan frag grenades?
>>528417906Once upon a time, we got a Plasma weapon that doesn't do more damage to shields. I get it's the Covenant AR but it didn't have any niche. Did they expect players to swap to it to finish after shield busting given it does more unshielded damage than shielded? Like a weird pseudo noob combo after EMPing? I don't know how the thought process went.
Reach would be well-balanced if the AR killed in 16 bullets instead of 19. It's not enough to make it stupidly powerful like in Halo 5 or Infinite, but it would be enough to outclass the DMR up close.
>Wordswordswordswordswords
>>528418260You can't miss them if you need them. A lot of Halo weapons change size in your hands or NPC hands. Pic is Infinite Sidekick. It's on purpose.
>>528418506It's a mod thing, they aren't as big in vanilla.
>>528418098I actually second this. Once on Reach Heroic I felt on trying new weapons and using the Spiker was better against shields than the AR. Marginally better and I wouldn't use it on Legendary but it just highlights to me how many weapons are outclassed by the DMR AND how many weapons outclass the AR at the same time.
It's sad. Anyone here ever play FF7? You know how pic is supposed to be a super iconic weapon but in game it's a starter weapon everyone drops once they get Cloud anything else? That's the feeling I get with the Halo AR.
>>528418827For some reason, Bungie decided the Spiker should do plasma damage so it had a 2x multiplier vs shields and a 0.5x multi against health. The Plasma Repeater was neutral against both.
>>528418827The Halo CE AR has a niche, the AR charge with melee.
The Halo 3 AR is okayish. Reliable at close range, but its damage isn't good enough to reliably win against the BR.
The Reach AR is just dogshit. The Needle Rifle is better at being the AR than the AR does.
>>528418827same with the lancer in Gears
Okay, this is objectively worse than SPV3 balance wise.
>>528418990That took me time to get used to until I realized Brutes stripped naked faster when I used their own guns against them. Then I just decided
>OK, it's a Covenant gun. Doesn't matter how it looks, it's just another Covenant weapon.
>>528419663Minors and captains were already naked in Reach. I just needle them for that reason.
>>528419646>picatinny rail tacti-cool bullshitWhy do Halo modders do this?
>>528417480>>528418827Halo is at its most fun when there is no precision weapons.
>>528420286It's Halo X in Halo Y actually.
>>528420475I'm alright with precision, I'm not alright with being so dominant hardly anything else matters.
>>528420286it's the reason publishers are so important to the industry.
You need someone to put a development cycle on a leash.
>>528419646>BR in ODSTI could have told you that from a screenshot alone.
>Elites in ODSTKino is back on the menu, boys.
>>528420754The BR in Mythic Overhaul is actually dogshit against shields and Elites and Brutes have tons of shield.
goth boys in black bunny suits
>>528420968Then what's the point of the BR?
>>528421876Reliably headshot weapon against unshielded targets. Kinda like the Automag, but more forgiving.
>>528421990ODST's regular balance was already close to perfect. The BR just ruins that. Unless it's used as a secret gun to reward exploration.
>>528422127It only seems to spawn at one location on the Mombasa Streets map, but it's not really hidden.
>>528422225If I cared enough to make a campaign mod that actually worked with the workshop, I'd just put them in the supply caches. And one per regular map as an easter egg.
The only other change I'd make is giving the AR back its Halo 3 damage so there's a reason for it to exist next to the SMG.

>>528422390It fixes the AR, but then also introduces a better AR (MA5K) and the Halo CE AR for some reason.
Slop gonna slop, I guess.
Has there been a game that captures the mood of Reach but executes it better? The desperate last stand against overwhelming odds while you play as a stoic badass, preferably with a team of badasses who slowly die, one by one. It's so masculine, I love it but no game hits the notes correctly. The heroes joke around too much or they're too inexperienced. You're not usually allowed to be the best of the best. I wanna be a professional.
Reach has the perfect atmosphere but the story lacks in writing. The team is underwritten. All missions are just generic destroy this thing missions which is exactly what I want but that does mean the characters have to carry the story and for some reason Reach doesn't use their down time to expand on the characters. I don't need backstories but I would like to see more interactions so the eventual deaths hit harder. Turn it up a notch just a little. Not too much but a little.
>>528422127NTA but the lack of the BR in ODST was a deliberate move they even announced. It was absolutely intentional. The precision-focused meta even Bungie was never 100% into but the players were.
>>528425180The game is still very precision-focused. The automag was revealed as their callback to the H1 pistol. The only difference is that you start each fight with a plasma gun first. Automatics are still kinda shit compared to being able to instantly kill an unshielded enemy.
>>528415635 (OP)See that Island?
can you go there?
>>528425180Yeah, but the BR was in ODST at one point and it was a pretty late removal. The NMPD officer that gets killed by the Brute Chieftain at the end of NMPD HQ is proof of that, despite Bungie's denial of the contrary.
My guess is no one was using the Automag when they playtested the campaign, so Bungie removed the BR, accidentally creating a relatively balanced sandbox.
>>528426280>Yeah, but the BR was in ODST at one point and it was a pretty late removal. The NMPD officer that gets killed by the Brute Chieftain at the end of NMPD HQ is proof of that?How is it proof?
It's maybe evidence, but not proof.
>despite Bungie's denial of the contrary.Why should the developer's statement on the matter not count as evidence to the contrary?

Can't be bothered to find the weekly update article in the archives.
>>528427826There is nothing here that proves the BR was playable "later into development"
Bungie used a Focus Rifle to fire a Needle Rifle at Kat in a way that resembled a Beam Rifle in Reach. That doesn't mean the Beam Rifle was ever supposed to be playable.

>>528415635 (OP)It's a really strange feeling to see all the miscallaneous Forerunner structures in official games and fan-made content, then think someone at 343 got pillars to be spammed over using various structures to dot the landscape.
>>528428004Why would they render a cutscene with a BR then?
>>528424578Only Republic Commando comes close in my mind but 1 guy is a light joker, more so than Emile or Jun's lighter moments. Still, with how heavy it gets in parts I'd say it over all balances out. Probably only a game about ARC Troopers would come closer by nature.
>>528428795I'd guess as a cheeky easteregg. IIRC Infinite has models in it that are leftover from previous games, so it'd make sense a game made in the 3 engine but modified could have stuff leftover and used for fun.
>>528428795Nothing was rendered. The cutscenes were all played in-engine.

Halo 3: ODST Mythic Overhaul isn't very good.
Sure, it has Elites and Marines on Mombasa Streets, but it's basically the only thing it does well. Oh and the universal ammo box for specific ammo types are great.
The Banished weapons are way out of place and too many "secret" weapons seem to be one off. Pic related shows up at the very end of Tayari Plaza and it never appears again, AFAIK.

>Only because DMRfags got their way. They're fine with AR spawns. DMRfags in this case meaning Bungie I suppose. They designed it this way since day one, and made the Sniper Rifle anti-vehicle too.

The designs are a bit off in 3 and Infinite, but I do appreciate the fact they're there and feel like lower budget Spartan armor.

Reminder that there is zero reason for the Covenant to genocide humanity without humans being Forerunners.
Reminder that, "bungie changed their minds in halo 3," is disproven by the entirety of Halo 3 itself, books written by the same author that explicitly state that humans are forerunners that came out after halo 3, and bungie still hinting at it even when Reach came out.

>>528540567just go on grindr dude
>>528540943i'm not gay tho
>>528540603According to 343, humanity started a war against the forerunners because they never bothered to send them a message about the flood before humanity started glassing infected forerunner planets. This means that the covenant could be justified to genocide humanity because humanity was partially responsible for what happened to their gods.
>>528530673>Is this game actually goodnot really
>humanity can use forerunner technology because they are forerunner.
vs.
>the Librarian implanted a species-wide geas in them that gave them an instinctual ability to operate Forerunner tech so that they would one day inherit the Mantle. She did this when Forerunner society was nearly extinct much and no one could actually stop her from doing so by that point.
343 is even chickenshitting on their own lore now by saying that humans and forerunners could share a common ancestor lol. Too afraid to even commit to their own retarded lore.
>>528542985You could turn the audio on while playing Halo 1, 2, 3, Halo Wars, Reach, maybe even ODST, and come to the same obvious conclusion if you are not a retard.
Or you could watch the halo anime if you wanted. 343 even retconned themselves.
>>528543041So basically the Librarian doomed humanity?
>>528543790The librarian betrayed her own species for a bunch of hairless apes that waged an unjust war on them, because the precursors chose ancient humanity to hold "the Mantle," not the forerunners. It also makes humanity look to be incompetent losers because everything that humans made (slipspace, MJOLNIR, the spartans themselves, etc.) is because the librarian implanted "genesongs" into humans to make them eventually.
So it was a massive coincidence that after 100,000 years (and not a decade more), those 'genesongs' came into fruition literally right before the Covenant showed up, because humanity would have been genocided, the halo rings would have activated, and/or the flood would have consumed the galaxy. That or the librarian can see the future or some lame "this is humanity's destiny" shit happened.
>>528544691You used the word geas. Did 343? If they did you basically have a destiny vs religion story.
>>528545293It is a 343 term. Geas, also called genesong.
ERM WE PLANNED THE MASTER CHIEF 100,000 YEARS AGO ACKSHUALLY WE PLANNED THAT HUMANS WOULD CREATE SPARTANS TO QUELL INSURRECTIONISTS THAT WOULD LEAD TO MASTER CHIEF AND THEN THE HUMAN COVENANT WAR THAT WOULD LEAD HUMANS TO THE ARK SO THAT MASTER CHIEF WOULD BLOW IT UP IN A VERY SPECIFIC WAY SO THAT HE'D BE EJECTED TOWARDS REQUIEM SO HE WOULD ACTIVATE THE DIDACT SO THAT HE COULD DEFEAT HIM!!!!!! IT WAS ALL PLANNED BY MEEEEEEEEE OC DONUT STEEL.
>>528545453Well at least 343 are self-aware that it's bullshit I guess.
What if halo 4... is the best halo ever?!
Bungie was smart enough to keep the mystery of the forerunners. 343 raped them as soon as they got their hands on them.
>>528545507Reminder that all of this was created so frank o'connor could get around a decade of bungie subtly and explicitly saying that humans are forerunners.
>>528546334>343 raped them as soon as they got their hands on them.They didn't. 343 wrote halo legends, and the first two episodes (that are about the forerunners and their war with the flood) continues to imply that humanity are forerunners. The two episodes are even called Origins I and II.
It was when bungie was completely out of the picture that frank o'connor (same guy who wrote that one singular halo 3 terminal 343 loyalists love to bring up) was allowed to write his retarded fanfiction.
>>528546342>We had people who we hired who hated HaloYeah one of those guys made Mister Chief, ironic given who that quote is from.
>>528546894>pay-to-win mechanics are okay because SHUT YOUR NOISE HOLE. I wonder why they never bothered to bring halo 5 to the mcc/pc fully
>>528547152they were genuinely ashamed of halo 5 and the reaction people had to it. it completely broke them. that's why halo infinite's story is literally a "please forgive me" metaphor and why they tried to pivot to a more classic artstyle.
Never forget the flood is actually dog shampoo
>>528547438>We found a weird ass parasite thing, what do we do? >Feed it to our dogs.
>>528545507Why didn't she make her retarded genesong stuff occur sooner than 100,000 years? The brutes constantly went from being spacefaring to cavemen due to civil wars, so it is not like humanity needed 100,000 years. If she somehow planned all this so that someone could kill the didact, then that is retarded because the didact (and the endless too) are literally not a problem because the forerunners dealt with them.
She can either see the future with perfect accuracy and chose not to change it, or she is a retarded psychopaths.
>>528547349Apparently they were not that ashamed because they put a mister chief cosmetic into halo infinite and charged 20 dollars for it.
Mister Chief predates Halo 2. And it was retarded then too.

No.
I won't just sit by and let all the cancerous facets of this franchise be allowed to have an equal footing. I'm not breaking bread with 343fags and Lorecucks.
The American iterations of Halo IN THE GAMES are the only ones worth discussing here. And I will continue to call out everything else.
343's games are not canon
Spartan 4's are not canon
The books are not canon
None of the shit in Halo Legends is canon and Halo is not anime
Halo Online is not canon
The comics are not canon
Osiris is not canon
Blue Team is not canon. That egregious meme team doesn't exist and never did. The only true ship is Chieftana and canonically they do have some feelings for each other. Chief doesn't fuck around on his adventures. He just fights for the UNSC and gets the job done. He is a virgin.
On that subject, none of the Spartans have had sex. They're all virgins like they should be. Stop projecting. Just because you went to a degenerate high school where sex outside of marriage was normal, doesn't mean these characters did.
And for the 77777th time, Halo is a console shooter made to be played on controller.
This is an American franchise. It always has been and always will be. It's western and everything else is fan fiction and belongs in /trash/. Period.
It's high time we take a stand. We shouldn't allow "all things Halo" because it has become obvious that degenerates are abusing that privilege. Games only. Canon only. No shipping.
End of discussion. Games only. Period.

the sprint is a non issue. it makes you marginally faster, which is useful at high levels of play, but irrelevant at all other levels. clamber enables more use of the map without completely destroying the point of covers (like jetpacks in reach do). the weapons all serve a purpose and are all viable. there are no loadouts, no ordinance shit, vehicles are great but have good counters that rely on people to know where to retrieve them and fight over them and control them. the actual issues of dropped inputs, bad netcoding, being shot around walls, etc have been largely fixed. so what's the problem?
>>528558868weapon variety is subjective so i cant say anythint to that. spartan customization being tied to microtransactions is the worst i will agree with that, although the level of customization is nice. i like that the new maps are forge creations because it rewards and incentivization the community for making viable maps, and it brings in a lot of variety in a way that 343 alone can't provide.

How is Terminator more Halo than Aliens? Aliens has the Colonial Marines and the Predator (same universe). Terminator just has plasma rifles in that one scene.
>>528578617It's forced, don't worry about it.
>>528578617Aliens is thematically the same film as terminator. It just has a different shell. James Cameron has only ever told one story.
>>528578617if all you think about in these comparisons is aesthetics then you would probably conclude that
but then you should know that about yourself
which is to know you aren't qualified to produce conclusions about such topics

>>528578617aliens is just a more refined version of terminator.
terminator 2 is a more refined aliens. predator has nothing thematically to do with alien or aliens.
>>528578961this
even titanic shares the same themes
haven't seen the abyss but at this point it would be unusual for it to be different in that regard
James Cameron is obsessed with the idea of being undeservedly trapped or pursued by a force you can't manipulate or negotiate with
kind of like the covenant and the flood

>>528585317Why can't other games copy Halo's physics and vehicle sandbox? All those Halo killers completely missed the point. This was the thing to copy, not just the setting/genre with space marines. And anytime these games added vehicle sections, it was so half-assed and basically on-rails
>>528585639physics is hard
pretty graphics is easy and people are more easily impressed by them
>>528585639It's because you don't play any other games.
>>528585975Name the games, then.
>>528585975Battlefield isn't the same. Controls are clunkier and things just blow up when they collide, and the health systems are different. Fortnite and maybe War Thunder are probably the closest you can get to Big Team Battle/Heavies, but Fortnite's controls are clunkier than Battlefield's and the collision boxes on everything are awful so sometimes you run into the same issues with Halo Infinite where you get clipped by random clutter on the ground because the collision is not accurate (sometimes the collision boxes extend out into empty space but the visual 3D model is smaller, fooling you into thinking you avoided hitting it but then boom and you're flipped over but then the game auto-flips you back right-side up, taking the fun out it). And War Thunder doesn't have any infantry combat, and the physics are really toned down for a more realistic (and less fun) feel. But it does feel like you're playing Big Team Heavies which is nice.
>>528585182Staten upheld this in his book, too. Confirmed that regret was a liar in halo 2 and that humanity is just a proxy for the devil to hurt god.

One of the best things about H1 is its map variety, you can see it's made for party play just looking at the maps. Relatively basic maps built around one or two concepts and the desire for those concepts to be different enough on each map. It's not so much "this map plays Halo better than another map" just each map giving a different experience. I don't think a map like Chiron TL-34 gets made in an online play environment.
