Halo Studios lost this war months ago. Your people are broken, scattered, hunted, defeated... by me. I wish I could tell you it was difficult, but it wasn't. We are one step ahead, always. The general is already under our control. Soon, the game as well. The Battlefield and the COD fanbase share the same goal. We fight together to honor the will of Marty. But... without challenge I grow weary, lost, alone. But, here you now stand. This is my last fight. A true test of legend. Our story will outlive us both. SET A FIRE IN YOUR HEART SPARTAN. BAAAAARE YOUR FANGS. FIGHT HARD. Die well.

Sprint = Not Halo

Halo... it's finished

I shan't buy Halo: Campaign Evolved.

Death to Microdick and Gaylo Studios

>We cut out half the game and then added in Call of Duty gameplay
>That’ll be 80 dollars plus tip

>Halo Studios, you mind telling me what you're doing releasing another remake of Combat Evolved?
>Sir, burying this series.

SAAAR DO THE NEEDFUL AND BUY GAMEPASS SO YOU CAN PLAY EPIC HALO REMAKE SAAR

You trusted 343 with Halo 4. It was completely fucked on release.

>Campaign was short and mostly linear CoD-style corridors
>Sandbox was barely used
>Multiplayer was completely broken
>Infinity Slayer was catering to the CoD crowd
>Spartan Ops was some of the worst free DLC conceived
>File Share was broken

You trusted 343 with MCC. It was completely fucked on release.

>Halo CE ported from Gearbox code
>Halo 2 ported from Vista code
>Online is completely broken
>60fps broke many things

You trusted 343 with Halo 5. It was completely fucked on release.

>Spartan Locke
>No content on release
>Tom French had to salvage it years later

You trusted 343 with Infinite. 10 year plan. Completely fucked and abandoned.

>>543952623 (OP)
I mean it looks fine but thats just because its the same game just with blurry UE graphics. If you want to play CE then play CE. If you want to play a remixed CE then play SPV3 or some other mod. I don't know who is basedjaking right now over being able to drive wraiths in CE

>>543952998
>CE remake
>no Brutes
>no funny monkey man cameo
Missed opportunities.

This is service announcement to all Playstation newfriends.
The elusive "lol the no" is the top dog of this general. We all bow down to him and worship his above average cock. Anyone insulting "lol the no" will be reported and have their posts deleted.

>>543953297
oh, you guys have a piss meme too huh?

>everything blurry as fuck and has this weird dithering effect on everything
>the ethereal skyboxes and environments are practically non-existent
>incredibly shoddy amateur foliage and greenery despite having UNREAL ENGINE ASSETS
>sprint is in ruining the flow of combat and on top of that the animation is copy and pasted from Halo 5
>Elite enrage animation copy and pasted from Reach
>lots of copy and pasted assets from Infinite
>putting the radar on the top right for some fucking reason?!?!??
>sprint is in completely ruining the flow and tension of levels and combat encounters
>removed the health packs and replaced it with recharging shields
>weird facial animations so far
>texturing is awful and done with god damn AI


And holy shit I cannot stress enough the weird dithering effect making everything blurry as fuck. I hate this shit, it's not the youtube compression. This is literally how lumen/UE5 looks, it's so god damn distracting and makes shit harder to follow to your eyes. Fucking insane that a game two decades ago looks better

>>543953498
Alternatively, you can also play campaign evolved.
>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T
you are not in charge of what other people do, nor are you in charge of Halo.
Deal with it chud.

You guys think they will add dlc for what you do after leaving the ring?

The Endless has arrived

>>543953787
outdated
new memes are required

>>543953576
kys kek the drek

>>543952623 (OP)
Sorry to inform the doomposters, but yes, the Halo General will be playing the new Halo game

>>543953787
oh god oh fuck...

>>543953953
AAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEE

microshart truly destroys everything they touch

>>543953861
The meme is endless, can't be outdated.

>>543953576
he is literally simping for CEA now
He will never be in charge

>>543953770
>You guys think they will add dlc for what you do after leaving the ring?

They could easily make a Fall of Reach (book) game and First Strike game if this is a reboot with a new canon

>>543954034
nah, but hey thanks for bumping

I want to play as Arbiter :3

pozole

just release mcc on ps5/switch and disband the studio already

>>543954170
>>543954181

>>543953770
>>543954026
>>543954073
Why don't they port the Halo CE Xbox source code, exactly as it shipped in 2001, to PS5 and Windows 11 DX12

I can't believe Halo is now officially dead.

>>543954247
Xbox game integration into windows is coming in 2026

>>543954194
>(((consoles)))
lol just get a pc already

>>543953953
Unfortunately this is true

>>543954181
That line is no longer in the game.

>>543954170
Arbiter prequel mission could be kino

>>543954282
>a quarter century game is getting a remake
>this means it's dead
nah

>>543953953
I can't refute this
I just have to decide if pirating is worth it or not

>>543954420
>That line is no longer in the game.
Huh? You're telling me they removed pozole from MCC? From my old CE copy for Xboz or PC?
No?
Good.

>>543953725

>>543954170
They are just gonna show what the arbiter was doing on halo for his side on the new terminals cutscenes.

>>543954516
The version you're playing is no longer canon.

>>543954181
>pozole

Halo sisters… the flood look terrifying.

>>543954541
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnSCkV6PkWM

>>543954584
like I give a fuck about "canon"
It's a video game
Storytards are autists

>>543952623 (OP)
Can someone tell me if its a remake or a remaster yet?

>>543953953
i'm literally going to buy the steelbook

>>543954725
it's a jeetmake

>>543954541
Kek literally

>>543954725
>Can someone tell me if its a remake or a remaster yet?
it's unironically both
It's technically a remake from two ground up, but like, the level design is almost exactly the same. The big difference is the gameplay and inclusion of new enemies/guns

>$70+tax for a campaign we got 20 years ago
>at most there’s three missions of completely new content
>said missions will 1000% retcon Contact Harvest and Fall of Reach (AGAIN)
I can’t believe this is real. $70 for three missions and no multiplayer running on fucking Unreal.
And people are excited for this shit?

>>543955105
my favorite game is getting a remake i'm excited

>>543955105
It could have been a lot worse, keep in mind it's still a WIP.

>>543954847
>>543955132
What engine is Campaign Evolved using? Redpill me

>>543955105
>lore autist
I don't care about gay books
I'm just excited to play CE levels with new enemies, the energy sword, and 3 friends

>>543955282
Unreal Engine 5
There are "rumors" about it being modified Halo Reach (same thing 4 and 5 used) combined with UE5 but that has not been confirmed anywhere

>>543955189
If CE was your favorite game you wouldn't be excited. I think you are just a brown person trying to be contrarian for (you)s

>tourists leave
>thread slows back down
>significantly higher ratio of positive opinions and cautious optimism now
Kek, every time.

>>543955284
I want you to know that you are the reason why 343i keeps getting away with their stupid bullshit.

>>543955502
Because /v/tards are dumb, I do see potential with this. Only thing I have against it is how unfinished it looks due to the WIP. Overall they are cooking "something" but not a full "meal" in a way.

>>543955502
I'm still here, queer.
Campaign Evolved is shit and you're a lesser person for thinking it's not shit.

>>543955502
Isnt that more old halo fans have gotten bored with shitposting and left again whilst slop enjoyers or people still wanting to shitpost are still around?

>>543955492
>If CE was your favorite game you wouldn't be excited.
It's not like i'm going to stop playing CE.
When they remade Papillon I was excited because I love that movie. Doesn't mean I stop watching the original.
>I think you are just a brown person
whatever helps you sleep at night bud
I'm not tho, I'm a ginger so I'm probably whiter than (YOU)

>>543955189
Your favorite game is getting a remake by the same retards who fucked up the remaster and haven’t produced a single good game in their entire time owning the franchise your “favorite game” is part of.

4 player splitscreen is kind of cool but if you want me to pay for halo visa evolved then there better be serious sam ass co-op with an XL mode that lets you fight hordes of covenant. Good luck getting that shit working on UE5 though

>>543955502
i'm going to get it
But yeah if it's shit i'll say it's shit

How pissed would Marty and Joe be?

Pre-Release Build
>b-but muh nostalgi-
Pre-Release Build.

Halo: CD
Campaign Devolved

>>543955761
>Your favorite game is getting a remake by the same retards who fucked up the remaster and haven’t produced a single good game in their entire time owning the franchise your “favorite game” is part of.
And if this sucks too I'll probably not play it much. You mad or something?
I do well enough that I'm fine spending money on a remake of my favorite game even if it disappoints me.

>>543955708
>I'm not tho
So you are a tranny then got it

>>543955502
You're not cool for liking this garbage.

>>543955810
schizo and has been
who cares

>>543955502
>tourists leave
You mean actual Halo fans leave, which is what keeps happening after game game sucks and is why the games keep dying in a week and Microsoft is forced to downsize the company after failing to deliver the revenue they should be seeing.

>>543955924
>>543955492
Why are doomposters autistic /pol/tards 9/10 times?

>>543955810
>>543955969
Jaime Griesemer designed Pillar of Autumn, T&R, 343 Guilty Spark, The Maw

Dan Orzulak designed Assault on the Control Room and Two Betrayals

Marcus Lehto designed Halo and Silent Cartographer

Tyson Green designed The Library (rocket flood and sniper jackals were his idea)

>>543955858
Nothing ever changes from pre-release builds.

>>543955934
you're not cool for maulding

>>543955889
>I do well enough that I'm fine spending money on a remake
Woah Richie McRich can afford to spend $70?????
Not beating the brown allegations.

>>543955105
Grim!

It can't keep getting worse

>>543955969
Have more talent in their pinkies than all 343 combined.

>>543953576
Lol the no who will never put on his mic? Lmao

>>543956017
Nah, we're still here, and we will be playing the game
cope

>>543953953
You can't make me

>all the atmosphere is lost

>32 round AR
>Covies speaking english (wort wort wort?)
>AI is as good as Halo CE
>Warthog is doesn't take damage?
>HUD is wrong
What else have they fucked up?

>>543956409
everything

>>543956240
Gaylo 4 Cortana is honestly her hottest version, I don't mind it.

And yet once it comes out, faggots will find someone else to whine about and then find something else to whine about again

/gig/ here, i just came here to laugh at you

Foehammer doesn't even say "Touchdown! Hit it, marines!" Dead on arrival.

>>543956409
It'd be easier to list what they left intact, which is uhhhhhh...

did they make the ar with 60 bullets or did they make it 32?

>>543956240
4tana is the single good thing to come out of 343 so I’ll let it slide.

>>543956624
32 and it has zoom now.

>>543956409
>>32 round AR
why? like really why? the whole point of it was lots of ammo and spam.

Reminder that Microshaft's last remaster was a complete gigabomb.
Tick tock, Halo Jewdios...

>>543956540
Nobody knows who you are

Goodbye discordsloppers.
I'll be back on release to laugh at you again. I'll probably bring a steam chart too.

>>543956779
Because they got rid of every defining trait CE had.

32 rounds AR is fine if the SMG is also there, but they haven't show it yet and I doubt they ever will.

>>543956698
>>543956876
thats and the needler are the only guns that you can spam with and the ar is the only one with an abundance of ammo, gods I hate modern game devs. Let me guess they added sprint?

Did anyone else notice all the framegen ghosting or is that just me?

>>543957338
Watch the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSjbIM0iegY
It has sprint.

>>543957404
No your eyes aren't deceiving you. Unreal Engine just looks that fucking terrible

The dithering makes everything a blurry fucktarded mess

>>543957404
No you can definitely tell it was chugging lol

>>543957404
Halo 1 to Reach were passion projects made by white guys on a custom engine.

It's UE5 and outsourced to Indians. It's going to be slop.

>>543957404
just you bro only you have normal eye sight

BLOOD IS BACK

i am only buying the ps version of halo because the mp won't be added. mp is so gauche.

I shant be playing.

>>543959017
I think that's a an Infinite thing.

built 4 big brute COCK and CUM FILLED BALLS

I wish it was a Halo 5 port or a spinoff or anything else. Please god let me wake up from this nightmare.

>>543959017
When I saw this I laugh and said "its over"for the 343rd time

>>543958445
>>543958932
This is a woman, isn’t it?

>>543959017
not a big deal saar

>>543959673
very true very true!
Happy Dwaili!

>>543959572
no its escharum after his transition

I tried touching up one of the screenshots to better match CE's art style. What do you guys think?

>>543958932
I also know that you’re white.

>>543959373
>dekuck color palette
OH NO NO NO NO NO

>>543960089
343 HIRE THIS MAN

So now that the dust has settled, was this better or worse than the Shitfinite Craig reveal?

>>543960089
Original:

If they add the battle rifle and reach like armor abilities to the remake then it's going to be even more peak!!! Hopefully they change two betrayals and the library in a way that makes it less repetitive too.

>>543956079
>Tyson Green designed The Library
the same guy is currently killing destiny 2

>>543960306
It’s worse, because instead of something brand new they’re now ruining CE for real.

Who exactly was clamoring for a UE5 Halo CE remake?

Holy shit this is so ass, the reload animations, the garbage sound, micro stutters the constant texture smudge and blurring the pop in, another common 343 L! I cant wait for the 3rd CE remake in 8 years

>>543960885
Nobody but I dont think they have anyone that work on the garbage slipspace engine they wasted years making

>>543960306
Shitfinite was a spear to the heart because it was the longest we've waited for a new title and the 2018 trailer was so hopeful that they were *finally* listening
At the 2020 reveal when I saw the shitty hexagon pillars, sprint and the awful lighting I've never been more dissapointed in my life.

This CE remake I tempered my expectations but was still annoyed and let down, still not as bad as Shitfinite but pretty up there

>>543960885
I didn't want to move to Unreal. I just wish Microsoft/343 would stop hiring contractors and outsourcing further ruining the engines code. In an alternate timeline they would still be using and upgrading Blam! engine (preferably the Halo 3 branch and not Reach's)

>>543960885
ME!

will this be better than the original tho

Is it just me or does the AR animations broken. Its like they asked AI to program the gun and did the best it could

>Warthog has returned to the original sci-fi independent arm suspension instead of the lame bog standard IRL suspension introduced in Halo 4
It only took over a decade.

>>543960306
>So now that the dust has settled, was this better or worse than the Shitfinite Craig reveal?
I'm not a fan of UE5slop, but anyone that tells you this was worse is quite literally just doomposting.
The Infinite gameplay reveal straight up got the game delayed a year for how bad it was.
At its absolute worst CEmake can just be ignored because CE already exists and the remake doesn't even have PvE so it will be culturally insignificant after a few weeks at most.

>>543961130
from the coast of gold
across the seven seas

I'm gonna keep it real witchu Microshit I'm not buying a $1000+ card just to play a 20 year old game I can already play on the MCC.

>>543961653
>Not already having a $1000 card
Not that you should buy it "for this", but cmon man stop being a poor gamer

>>543959017
343 hasn't gotten the Forerunner architecture style right a single time.
Came closest in Infinite, but still fucked it up with nonsense anti-gravity and the hexagon towers

>>543961525
don't worry they'll switch back to it in halo 7

>>543961525
Yeah but at the cost of having these weird retarded airless wheels LITERALLY copy and pasted from Infinite

>>543962049
Never really played it, but I've been watching Halo 4 gameplay and every Forerunner level looks like a shitty Forge map.

How raped are we bros?

Can Halo Campaign Evolved beat these numbers?

>>543962313
>stuck with the DeMake
>never getting the OG now
>probably never getting MCC despite years of rumors
but yeah Sony totally won today

>>543962167
UE5 makes me sick to my fucking stomach to look at

>>543962419
it 100% will
A lot of the hate here is justified, but it' also niche and less replicable among the masses, as opposed to infinite's problems

>>543962419
>that image
why did this have to happen to every game

>>543962167
It's as close as we've gotten to the original design, so I begrudgingly accept it.

>>543962387
Like the average 12yo swedish girl these days.

>>543962429
just give it up xgoy
it's over

Hey guys what's happening in here?
>UE5
OH. Oh... oh...

>>543962672
>going forward
lmao

You're all buying it, don't pretend otherwise.

>>543962672
so they're never getting anything before this?
THEY'RE NEVER GETTING A SINGLE BUNGIE HALO?
And you're calling this a W? Would you have called getting infinite a W?

Any new weapons hinted at all besides the energy sword? This is like the perfect time to bridge the Reach weapons into CE and I didn't see shit. That would justify this remake more than anything, alongside making the second half less repetitive.

>>543962830
You're spiraling lmao. Touch grass my nigga

>>543962785
Just like I bought Destiny 2, Battlefield 1/5/6, and all those other great games that are totally in my library.

>>543962785
i havent bought an xshart game since like the 360

>>543962785
I have gamepass so I’m not buying shit

>>543962916
>Any new weapons hinted at all besides the energy sword?
Needle rifle and battle rifle will be in Campaign Evolved, according to the store description.

>>543962049
Yeah the architecture is too shiny. It's supposed to be old and untouched

God damn I hate this dumb fucks. The core of Halo: CE is ANCIENT, MYSTERIOUS AND EPIC

>>543962465
Everytime you screenshot the gameplay it's some blurry retarded mushy nonsense. I fucking hate Unreal

>>543963378
I will now buy your game

>>543963378
Sweet, actually makes this way more tempting. Now just include new vehicles and fix the level design of the second half and this might be a great remake.

>>543962785
I just cancelled game pass today. I won’t even be playing your unrealslop for free.

>>543962613
QRD?

>>543962956
Xbox isn't even going to exist soon lmao.
Also everyone with a brain has already thrown these jew consoles in the trash and moved to PC.
It's just fun watching Xbox and their niggercattle consumers get cucked into oblivion.

THE THREE BIGGEST WINNERS AND LOSERS OF THE HALO REMAKE REVEAL

>WINNER: MCC
At the end of the day, Halo is about both PvE and PvP, and the PvP sector with the most active population is MCC. With no new multiplayer development in sight, MCC will likely only consolidate most remaining players.

>LOSER: Playstation Users
This announcement seemingly closes the door on any classic Halo experience coming to PS5 any time soon. They may never get MCC now, which is really all that matters until who knows when.

>WINNER: PC
This remains the one place where you can play everything now, at least within reason. Get the remake, avoid the remake, get MCC, avoid Infinite, etc. At least you have all the options, with the most customization.

>LOSER: Game Pass
$360 a year for a single-player remake that could end up being flop #5 for 343/HS? I guess you also get Outer Worlds 2 and Grounded 2...

>WINNER: Halo General
The need to both gatekeeper and adapt are both extinguished. Things can return to a simpler way of life, playing the games that matter, and without worry over what's to come, at least for some months.

>LOSER: Halo Infinite
Lost in all this is Infinite. Is this supposed to carry the torch of multiplayer until the next multi-plat game releases? For how long? Does anyone even care anymore?

>>543963506
>Yeah the architecture is too shiny. It's supposed to be old and untouched
I actually think the weathering looks ok in places
My problem is the line work.
Greebling isn't the right word I don't think, like idk if you can say "it looks too greebled"
Too organic, maybe? Like the shapes used?
But the Bungie era stuff is very precise. Like architecutral draft paper

>>543963961
>This remains the one place where you can play everything now, at least within reason. Get the remake, avoid the remake, get MCC, avoid Infinite, etc. At least you have all the options, with the most customization.
Xbox can do literally all of this

>>543962785
it's been 5 years and i still haven't played infinite

WINNER: The Banished
3 steps ahead
always

LOSER: Spartans on Laconia Station
How many remain? Do you even know?

Been getting the itch lately to get one of the original Halo games on the MCC, this shitshow reveal only makes that itch stronger. What are the multiplayer scenes like on 3/Reach, still alive?

>>543963506
>The Silent Cartographer VS The Loud Cartographer

>>543964286
Get a 360 and check.

>>543964231
I can play mods on Xbox?
I can play Custom Edition on Xbox?
I can play Fireteam Raven on Xbox?

>>543964231
https://www.nexusmods.com/halothemasterchiefcollection/mods/2114
xbox cucks can't have this

>>543964231
Xbox is a dead brand

>>543964286
Halo 3 and reach are the most alive I can get H2 4v4 matches on East coast
CE and 2 struggle to get BTB
H4 is played below reach, 3 and reach are the most populated again I’ll repeat
t.I still play mcc

>>543964286
Multiplayer is still live yea.
Kinda recommend Reach for the versatility.

>>543964286
3 and reach have the healthiest populations.
CE, 2 Anniversary, and 4 (if you can believe it) have middling populations.
2 Classic is fuxking dead most of the time.

WINNER: Blue Team
flag taken flag dropped flag taken flag dropped flag taken flag dropped flag captured

The primary difference in the architecture from how Bungie did it to how 343 does it I think is that Bungie tried to make it look technological, but still sort of religious, with plenty of geometry, but not overboard. 343i just tries to make it all look like hyper advanced technology without a care in the world. They're more about spectacle (not even good spectacle), where Bungie was about atmosphere.

>>543964571
Swap 2 Classic for 2 Anniversary and you're right.

Not particularly anything new, though I may have exaggerated on the age.

>>543964856
it's more that Bungie's looks withered and that was easier to do with less polygons.
It might not look as bad, but if Bungie was making CE in 2025, they would also probably make uglier forerunner architecture.

Fucking kek

>>543965339
I mean, it's faithful enough
Maybe if they were delisting CE or making it impossible to play I'd be more upset, but I'm not gonna get mad at the remake having differences. If anything, I expected it to be more different.

>>543965087

what the fuck

>>543965678
more or less my thoughts as well
getting upset over the rounds in the AR or being able to use the sword is just ridiculous imo

Why?
Nearly a decade after the DOOM reboot won the argument yet they're still doing this.

why is Halo 343 Studios like this?

every time I see people listing the AR as a reason to hate on the game I just assume there is nothing the game could have done to make them not doompost.
It's "$60 ODST" tier complaining

>>543966165
the new doom has sprint... you don't put your gun down tho

>>543966175
Thanks for making this anon, I was gonna do this myself

I knew I wasn't going insane recognizing the Infinite models. I naively thought they would be creating new assets. This is CEA: Electric Boogaloo, they learnt fucking nothing

>>543966175
these are actually fine, except maybe the needler, but whatever

Well?

>>543966175
Because everyone said they liked the Infinite art style, so you’re stuck with it now.

>>543966487
I like it compared to 4 and 5, and I guess Reach
But that's like... a low bar

>>543963827
What idiot is in charge of the art direction over at their studios? The original draws the eye in to the mysterious structure.
The "modern" one is compositionally schizophrenic and devoid of any soul or mindfulness to design. It looks more like a fighting game background than an interesting and mysterious megastructure

>>543966484
Halo ended when Bungie moved on.
Nothing lasts forever.
I'm fine playing MCC and then newer games outside of that

>>543966165
When they showed sprint in the Infinite gameplay reveal I audibly groaned
When they showed it in the CE remake I threw my phone at the wall

>/v/ is losing their shit over no multiplayer
retards, i'm glad we're not getting them

>>543964167
Bungie really had such a unique and interesting look to their franchise. It's a shame both bungie and 343/halo studios or whatever has lost sight of this

Back in the day video games were created by 10-20 white nerdy friends who'd willingly move into the office during development. They woke up eating cold pizza, developed some vidya, played vidya together on lunch break, developed some more vidya, got high/drunk with each other at night, then woke up to do it all again.

The games were made by gamers, for gamers.

Now it's just corporate slop outsourced to India

AGAIN

>>543966618
>soul
Please stop saying this shit. They’re never going to listen if you keep giving vague criticism like “soul” and “soulless” (not that they listen anyway but still).

>Jarrard chimes in. "This will probably get me flamed, but sprint has been introduced in the franchise since 2010. So there's been more Halo with sprint than without," he says. "But when you have almost 25 years of a franchise spanning seven mainline titles, they've each evolved in different ways as they've gone. Each one has created its own pocket of, 'That's the only one I like.'"

Are you still mad at sprint?

>>543966889

>>543966941
Why does this look so janky. It looked weird when I watched the trailer too.

>>543967053
Sprint itself? No. The intent behind it? Absolutely. Sprint isn’t in the game for any good reason like enhancing the gameplay, 343i added it solely to chase trends and be different from Bungie. It’s a sign of malice and contempt.

>>543967086
>leave the race shit out of it or else you're not going to be taken seriously

Cope. Halo was made by white guys and asian guys

>>543967001
Fine I can rephrase it: ...the modern design is devoid of any 'animation'
not in the "moving pictures" sense, but in the classical latin sense, anima, life. The original has it. These more modern remakes feel rushed, designed to be pushed out the door for a quick buck. Contrastingly, the original feels like it was made with purpose by a creator (i.e. a studio) that wanted to impress and awe you and move you emotionally by playing through their work and taking time to admire it

>>543967086
It’s true, but you’re right. As soon as you bring race into it (((they))) stop listening to anything you say.
And unfortunately race is hardly the only issue at this point because whites are cucked now too. Gamers were just different back then. The real problem is that corpos and women started taking notice of video games.

>Halo's art style is outstanding and distinctive, which is part of the reason it holds up to this very day, even on the Original Xbox

From Eric Nylund himself

http://halo.bungie.org/bwu/index.html?item=91

>The Master Chief was a complete mystery. In fact, many people (names omitted here, so I'm not assassinated) wanted the Master Chief to remain a blank, faceless solider. Terminator-ish as it were. They weren't convinced any writer could portray him as tough as he is in the game and make him, for lack of a better word, "human," too.

>One complaint I hear a lot is that the novels aren't canon and do not mesh with the game. From the very beginning the novels were designed to be optional, but official, material. Bungie didn't want people to have to read the novels to follow the game. That would be silly. The novels are designed to be an official companion pieces, and if you read them you experience a richer back story and understanding of the Halo universe. This strategy, however, necessitated that references to the extra material be minimized in game so as to not confuse people who hadn't read the books.

>People got the impression that the Master Chief was the only Spartan (in the Halo:CE game manual it said he was the "the last known Spartan" or words to that effect), but people wanted more of a good thing.

Writing the Fall of Reach was actually really rough for Nylund. He had around 7 weeks to write out the entire book for a deadline of two weeks before the game released - by then the story of the game was probably sealed and it was just last touches being made - and halfway through writing the book Microsoft executives wanted to cut it since they wanted Chief to be everybody's self-insert. (Thank god for Eric Trautmann otherwise the Halo EU wouldn't exist.)

Joe Staten wrote Chief as a cyborg super-soldier clint eastwood

Jason Jones, Joseph Staten, Eric Trautmann and Eric Nylund wrote the story/lore for Fall of Reach, Halo, First Strike, Halo 2, and Ghosts of Onyx.

Halo 3 and Reach were written by a committee, and Frank O'Connor was head of 343's writing team.

It looks boring bros. I wanted the high mobility gameplay of infinite back. They didn’t add new enemies, add new vehicles, or remix the levels. What the fuck’s the point?

>Bungie didn't want people to have to read the novels to follow the game. That would be silly
Insane how this idea seems to have been forgotten in modern IPs.

>>543966941
It's a pre-built release.

Having not watched the trailer yet because I'm at work and work wifi blocks YouTube... I read the write up. So this is actually a remake and not running anything from the original under the hood?

So why the fuck does it look so bad and janky.

AR compass is definitely misaligned though.

Halo Campaign Evolved has 9 new weapons from other games in the franchise according to the its description on Steam. Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen.
>Energy Sword (Confirmed)
>Battle Rifle (Confirmed)
>Needle Rifle (Confirmed)
>Fuel Rod Gun (Highly likely, was partly in the original game, reworked and introduced as a usable weapon in Custom Edition)
>Flamethrower (somewhat likely, cut weapon from the original game, was reintroduced with Custom Edition)
>Sentinel Beam (somewhat likely, enemy weapon, introduced in later games)
>SMG (somewhat unlikely, would serve as a replacement for the classic CE AR)
>Beam Rifle (unlikely, it's a well known and infamous weapon)
>Gravity Hammer (very unlikely, because 343i seems to like that weapon for some reason)

>>543971821
Blam! engine (Halo: Reach). Using assets from Infinite and animations from Reach, Halo 5 and Infinite

>>543966175
I genuinely don’t mind any of this because the majority of designs from Halo Infinite are actually pretty decent and dare I say good

>>543966175
added Grunt Imperial from Halo Infinite
how long can we go?

>>543952623 (OP)
I could give whole TED talks on what 343-era did wrong (knowing they were oft told "too traditional" too)
Yet for a work-in-progress following a bunch of lay-offs I like what I've seen over all, but for attempt #2 at a CE remake it really should be far better by launch
Good thing it's easy to see how a game turns out without having to buy it these days

>>543972416
343 cannot do forerunner shit to save their lives

Bungie was very particular about how the Warthog controls and meant for it to be chaotic and roll over a lot. Since 343 is just pasting this over Halo Infinite, you have the baby shit Warthog that is too heavy to roll over. It'll make the final warthog run a cakewalk with no tension

>>543972416
i am vomit

damn i love slop

343 finally realised they fundamentally cannot make a Halo game, so they've resorted to copying Bungie from 24 years ago, and it's still garbage.

Are you all still coping and seethe?

>>543973852
It's a WIP just like many early builds/concept art used previous game assets but whether it's buy-worthy by time it launches is another matter entirely
I've seen complete noobs to the series prefer the original visuals to CEA's after enough switching of the graphics since the OG has better direction and visual clarity
Played CE multiplayer daily for multiple hours for 5 years starting in 09 and never got sick of its look so if Campaign Evolved hasn't improved enough for me by launch I'll be just fine
>still pretending a Spartan can't speed-up in every direction while firing with just less accuracy/stability to their aim

>>543966175
I dont like that they keep doing that.I would loved to see the CE artstyle with more modern graphics.its a really big problem with anything forerunner too.I dont think they truly understand the visual language of the OG games.everything gets reduced to shiny metal and blue lights everywhere.not even the hologram inside the security station was spared.halo's artstyle is clear and simple but that makes the modest details shine.343s/halo studio's attempt is closer to the "nintendo hire this man !" meme.the forerunner structures in the og games are mostly matte and concrete-ish while the details sometimes feel closer to stone carvings.ever since 343 took over its nothing but polished aluminum with an absurd amount of greebling.

>>543977368
I don't have an opinion.

Okay but when are they gonna make a game that has female elites with big tits

Wow halo fans are vocal about CEmake and they are not happy. They're discontented with how it's just a cheap asset flip and the whole UE5 thing. I guess they were holding out hope for a faithful remake. There's even a petition that's garnered hundreds of signatures to have the game canceled. Obviously that won't happen but it shows how unhappy they are.

I think there is sexual satisfaction being derived from the mocking you are dishing out.

>>543977992

Doesn't matter. Everyone here will play it.
And everyone here will play the next multiplayer game too.

>>543953953
obviously we're going to play it, but like, it's campaign only
Even if it was a hit we would be over it soon
They need a new mp game soon

>>543978338

slow push to thread 2000 and then probably death
/hg/ had a good 10-year run, but an announcement for a campaign only game that many here find lackluster can't keep this place going for another year.
Keep in mind that after June, people here were ready to give up already, but there was one final effort put towards holding out hope for LITERALLY TODAY.
So yeah it's over. Not today. Not tomorrow. Soon tho.

eschover

>half-assed asset flip remake(again)
so they're actually working on something new besides this right?

>>543978550
I wouldn't even be surprised if we don't make 2000 after today

>>543978893
They actually are
There's a new mp only game and also the Infinite sequel, but that stuff will probably be 2027 onwards

i think it's funny that they added the purple-ish planet to the skybox thinking it would somehow evoke CE's artstyle

Probably not the best idea to be making assumptions about the media people will or won't consume in an era where even Marvel and Star Wars movies stopped being sure things.

he hates it
That's not what he's saying, but you can tell he hates it and is just trying to be positive

343 THRIVES on sprint debate. This was literally the one game they shouldn't have added sprint, they had an excuse to exclude it, and they didn't. Because they love the controversy, it's the only thing Halo has anymore.

Make your fans upset and they'll keep talking about the game, trick newer fans into thinking the old fans are retards and they'll keep talking about your game.

>>543979921

genuis. worked out well last time.

they should call it campaign ascended cause it looks like a fucking Ark mod and runs like it too.

Not in love with the visuals
Gameplay looms alright I guess

>>543980757
it will probably play "fine" because infinite played "fine".
but yeah everything the anons that warned about unreal5 was correct.

>>543980757
"Alright" gameplay is significantly worse than what the original game had. I don't trust 343 to not fuck up the weapon balance, because they just had to touch a bunch of the weapons.

In that developer trailer, they talked about how they've been reading fan feedback for years and trying to keep the game true to its origins. Mofo, we told you not to add sprint. The hell are you on about. The one time we need Halo not to have sprint and you put it in anyway. Who the hell is making these decisions at 343. Is Bill Gates the one demanding sprint? Is that why we're stuck with it forever? Why is it such a protected mechanic. Why is it not allowed to be rexamined and reevaluated? Almost every other mechanic gets to be on the chopping block but they keep treating sprint like it's something special. Why does 343 like it so much and why do some people defend it and tell us to play Halo 3? Why is sprint so special to you that it's not allowed to be removed?

This is our franchise now, old man.

>>543981025
I don't expect it to be better than CE, which is like a 9/10 video game

>>543978893
There were things they had to make entirely new models for since nothing HD enough was around in 4,5 or Infinite, and that definitely ate up the skeleton crew's time. Bit odd they haven't acquired/mimicked Marcus's armor and Warthog models already but maybe the skeleton crew is even smaller than I think. We'll see.

Digsite was just an excuse to consolidate assets and designs to use for this remake stay woke

Start watching at exactly 5 minutes in, when the gameplay starts.
Look at his face. Look how it contorts and squirms and he fights to not be super negative, and even then he has to let a few negative remarks out.

He knows he can't be too negative or Halo Studios won't give him any dripfeed.

What new story bits will they add? Seeing the Covenant dealing with the Flood? The Arbiter before he becomes disgraced? The Shipmaster discovering the Flood on that one ship?

>>543981548
I'm starting to feel bad for the little retard.

It's telling me to link my account but my account is already linked. I only have options to unlink it. I've received Halo Infinite items on Twitch before. Why isn't it working now?

>>543971852
>I MUST make new ones guys see
Always in a hurry still huh

>>543981157
>Why is it such a protected mechanic
American culture is centered around sprint mechanics. They have holidays around sprint! They elected a president who sprints! Etc etc.

>>543981157
I don't care about it being in campaign unless it's somehow adjusting campaign's balance a ton. Even so why are we stuck with "me put down gun me go fast"? Speed up, accuracy negatively affected is way better, especially for campaign. Even normal soldiers can run while shooting even if their aim is affected meaningfully.

>>543981781
unlikely, the story probably won't be touched too much save for those three prequel missions

>>543981781
>>543982191
What I'm curious about is whether they'll pivot into Halo 2's 'intended' plot
It's not something I particularly want since I don't know if they can be trusted with it but I can't rule it out at this time

My cope is that this low effort asset flip was slopped together by a small B-Team, and everyone else is working on Halo 7.
Or this is actually their full effort and we're fucked.

>>543981274
Why can't these creatures speak proper English?

>Jeets seeing how many blam! assets they can cram into unreal without breaking it.
>new product btw

>>543971862
>>543981508
For me, it's:
>Energy Sword
>Battle Rifle
>Needle Rifle
>Fuel Rod Gun
>Sticky Detonator
>Hydra
>SMG
>Focus Rifle
>Gravity Hammer

>>543982450
fr fr they brains fried from watchin too much ahhh tiktok
no cap

>>543973576
Oh my god you weren't fucking kidding and they literally advertise it like it's a feature.

Holy fucking shit. I don't even have words. Can fucking modern video game developers do ANYTHING?

>>543982338
Remember that time with Infinite where they didn’t even know how to work the Home Screen UI and this couldn’t fix its bugs? Yeah.

>>543952623 (OP)
Awesome, a free MCC update!

>>543968030
probably the worst halotuber and that is a real accomplishment

>>543983160
there are bigger retards

>>543982329
>What I'm curious about is whether they'll pivot into Halo 2's 'intended' plot
no
>It's not something I particularly want since I don't know if they can be trusted with it but I can't rule it out at this time
I'm just getting a strong vibe that this is just CE

at least we'll get hd cortana feet

I want to know the opinions from the following relevantors:
RED
shade
Goyim
JJAB
L3prechaun
Mahogany

>>543983556
Works for me
Best to keep it simple

>>543981548
I loved that he winced when Chief sprinted

>>543983843
snoys are the cucked ones tho
They're stuck with the UEsloppa campaign and 343 will use that as an excuse to never give them MCC

>>543983225
No one is an aggressive shill for “Halo Studios” as him. He sucks a bunch of dicks and then gets invited by the dev team and then make “predictions” and shills do the exact things that he knows are coming so he can continue to get insider access. He represents the worst of any fandom. He’s also morally bankrupt in his personal life and lets everyone know it. His IQ might be higher than other halo YouTubers but that doesn’t make him better.

>>543983576
she is gonna look like CE Cortana... right? they wouldn't dare

You know what. I think that's it for me. They finally, after all this time, all these fuckups... Have finally broken me. I don't care anymore. Halo is dead. It has been zombified, castrated, beaten, raped, hung by it's entrails and it's corpse paraded through the city. But today it died.

A "from the ground up complete remake" of Halo and they're such fucking retarded hacks that they can't even make the game feel like Halo without borrowing code from 25 fucking years ago, from people with more talent in their pinkies than they do an entire studio. It's not just pathetic it's fucking sad. And it tells me everything I need to know: The captain is asleep at the wheel and not a single fucking person on the bridge even knows how the ship works.

I'm going to hook up my original Xbox to a CRT this weekend, and play Halo CE. Maybe I'll go on and play Halo 2. I'm going to drink a little, smoke a little, and firmly cement in my mind that these are things of the past that belong there. My memories of these games are memories of my childhood, and as we all know you can never go back... You can only visit.

Fuck you 343, one final time. Burn in hell for what you've done.

hope you are all having a... comfy night?

>>543981548
His reaction to sprint is funny also notice at the end of the video he says it’s over and we’re so back chart.

>>543983970
>His IQ might be higher than other halo YouTubers but that doesn’t make him better.
he comes across as high functioning autistic

>>543983950
Literally reminds me of that bell meme. He can't complain about it because "negativity bad!" but the ones who know will know.

>>543983225
Maybe. None have a voice as annoying and go "ERM ACKSHULLY" quite as much, though.

>>543984069
I hate 343

>>543984069
It’s chaos, everyone is mad.

>>543983896
>RED
haven't seen him give an opinion yet
>shade
haven't seen him give an opinion yet
>Goyim
"it's over"
>JJAB
hates it
>L3prechaun
seems cautiously optimistic
>Mahogany
seems cautiously unoptomistic

>>543984069
yeah I mean I'm interested in it
I hate the UE5 smear, but i'm interested in it

>>543982657
>Hydra
I love the hydra but it's too high tech looking to fit into CE unless they change the appearance. Gravity hammer could be a good one, could be a one-time thing humans got from contact harvest and decide to drop it down to chief for support during Truth and Reconciliation, before he enters the ship. Focus rifle and needle rifle would be kino on jackals.

>>543984069
I'm making gifs from the trailer
It's fun eyecandy if nothing else

>>543984203
>>543984236
:(
>>543984401
kot

>>543984349
i like it and i’m interested
dont hate pls

>>543984617
No it's fine i like it too
I just hate how the forerunner shit looks.
Outside of that I'm excited to play it
I've waited so long for 4-players in CE

>>543971862
I imagine the three prequel levels will have Brutes in them so I think the Gravity Hammer is more likely than not to appear

>>543982657
I'd love all of those honestly. But I doubt it. They seem to be trying to memoryhole the sticky detonator for some reason.

>>543984495
I did a little less gaming and a little more investing and got my hands on assets that did 200% in the past little while, resisting the market downturn
If things go even 1/10th as well as they can I'll just be able to fund a campaign mod to my liking (with margin for error) so whatever way Halo is taken I'll be alright

>>543984701
maybe... they’ll improve some aspects like that
it happened with infinite so who knows

>>543984069
It’s fine. Everyone knew exactly what we’d be getting. Anyone mad now has themselves to blame for not accepting it sooner.

>>543983896
i'll drop my full take tomorrow after I sleep on it

>>543985173
am i not allowed to be mad at the bad decisions i knew they were going to make

>>543984878
yeah less gaming.. more investing and now you're casually talking about funding a whole campaign mod
like it's just.. an option

>>543985204
Red about to get put in a peach for saying he likes the forerunner shit looking like Tron Cathedrals

>>543985240
I mean, yeah. I just don’t know why anyone would act surprised. It’s been over a decade of this shit.

>>543979919
Who is he? He looks like one of those pro Trump supported, like the one who got killed.

Fact: 343's forerunner architecture has gotten worse in every game.

>>543985316
If I were more daring I would've already been positioned to. Used the money from working at a warehouse for a few months. Just looked around until I found something solid but early in the making. 'Course some people can't even find work so I know it's not a universal option. Research was very brain frying too.

>>543985751
It’s always bad however it was least bad in shitfinite. But the badness of shitfinite is exemplified by it being needlessly pasted over Combat Evolved.

>>543984959
Video games just don't have the soul of hand drawn concept art rendered as best as they could at the time anymore.

This single piece looks better than any subsequent Halo games Marines ever did. Pure soul.

BAHAHAHA

>>543979919
They cock teased the flood specifically for him. And very specifically didn’t actually show a model in action because they can’t do anything right.

>>543986339
Jesus fucking christ. At least this is the doomer gift that will keep on giving.

>>543986339
I only really mind that last part, however, it'd be more fun to encourage players to find a way to get the Hog past the rocks instead of just having it open. Easily a line Cortana or a Marine could deliver. It was fun setting this ambush, but I can kind of see for how such a small thing they figured it's better to lead people to the fun in a more obvious way rather than challenging their brains.

>>543986339
It must suck seeing 343 repeatedly butcher your 2001 masterpiece and claim it is the definitive version each time.

>>543986339
this is a special kind of hell

>needle rifle is back
I actually adore the Needle Rifle but I don’t see a need for it in CE’s weapon sandbox

>>543985905
you kept at it even when it drained you so that persistence matters
best of luck ahead

>>543986947
Arguably, the only addition that CE really has a need for(not including the PC weapons) is a Sentinel Beam.

>>543984069
The Halo community's a bit too awake right now... definitely not comfy

>the magnum doesn't 1 shot hunters in their back-gap
absolutely unacceptable.

>>543986339
OGs have been getting the warthog up there since 01
It's as Halo as taking the banshee at the end of Control Room

>you can remove sprint in the menus
This is actually not enough. It needs to not even be an option.>>543986827

>>543987384
i'll just remove it if it bothers me

>>543987384
>you can remove sprint in the menus
why even include it? how unconfident are they in "their own" game?

>>543987452
this

>>543987452
>>543987508
he's mad about other people using it
yes it's a dumb complaint

>>543987452
>>543987508
if you don't like jumping you can also unbind that button

>>543987381
Yes. However. You’re supposed to think it’s inaccessible via warthog as a new player. It’s not supposed to be easy driving.

>>543987062
Thank you. Gonna get to help a lot of people (practically) once all goes well.

>>543987602
>new players
I would just tell them to play CE

>>543984069
it was exactly what I expected and the response is exactly what I expected and I am laughing

>>543984069
I mean i'm excited

>>543987660
there are some people that are just mad about it not being more faithful to CE for new players.
Dumb complaint though because as you pointed out, nobody in their right mind would start with a remake over an original masterpiece. You can name the exceptions on like 1 hand.

>>543987563
Correct
>its dumb
It’s the wrong experience and the game is lesser for it. Halo 1 is an incredible game that is detracted by changes to the core gameplay. People will experience a lesser game because arms need to flail around to make 343 feel good.

>>543987838
literally the only one I can think of is Zero Mission

>>543986339
>Remakes and remasters are soul-destroying and I feel for any dev working on one. They can't win and even if they do they won't get credit.

>>543987869
then they should play the original game first
it's pointless to lose sleep over not being able to control what other people do.

>>543987869
eh, if the second half of the game is earned up enough I could see it breaking even.
The library and Keyes are baaaaaaad missions

>>543987838
How about the entire PlayStation ecosystem that has never experienced CE proper?

>>543987869
Anon I don't necessarily disagree but at this point anybody with toaster can get CE on PC for 5 bucks at any given point in time.
If they go out of their way to pay $80 for Unreal slop instead and that's their first experience with Halo then they deserve to have an inferior first experience.

>>543987723
:3

>>543986339
>expect this to be some whatever eceleb
>open image
>it's fucking jaime
Lmao. On a side note, he's a cool dude. Back when I was doing Halo modding I asked him a bunch of gameplay design stuff and he just straigt up answered.

>>543988238
Niiice

>>543988040
I would accept a library overhaul to be more like halo 2’s with an exterior and then different stuff on different floors. Keyes is great. I like how it’s pure chaos and you’re just trying to push through it to save the Captain. not sure why people don’t like it. My only complaint about it is that it’s too short. I like longer missions.

>>543988056
see >>543988168
Halo has been on PC since 2003.
It has been on Steam for years.
If someone STILL avoids that and goes out of their way to shell out a retarded msrp for a remake when the OG masterpiece is right there, they deserve to get a stupid prize for playing a stupid game.
Likewise, you're retarded id you're actually losing sleep over such a retarded scenario.

>>543987838
>nobody in their right mind would start with a remake over an original masterpiece
i don't think you could be more wrong. how many people who played the silent hill remake do you think played the original?

>>543988352
Keyes has infinitely spawning enemies and it ruins the pacing

>>543988056
Ah yes the mythical playstation player that is interested in trying Halo but has never been able to.

>>543988386
nobody in their right mind
"in their right mind" being the key words
Retards gonna retard

>>543988356
>>543988168
these
CE isn't a hard game to obtain or play.
If some aspie literally avoids the cheaper superior game that even has multiplayer and goes for the insanely priced remake that clearly looks terrible and even content creators that they love so much are shitting on, then they deserve to have a bad first halo experience.

>>543988448
well that's 99% of the people who are going to play it

My thoughts:
>Gameplay
Looks ehhhhhh...
Don't like sprint.
>Visuals
Absolute dogshit
Are those fucking infinite assets?
Lmao at that Vaseline smear on everything.
Some of the darker areas look alright, but still
>Audio
Very torn here.
Music sounds admittedly pretty great
However the sfx sound Halo 4 tier
>Level Design
I'm fine with it. Interested to see how they change it up. I think they specifically showed us TSC because that is a level they probably changed the least. I expect later levels to get more significant overhauls, especially Library and AOTCR.
>Extra content
Happy with most of this. I like having the needle rifle in the game, and 4 player co-op

I am a 6/10 on the interested scale. I would maybe buy it on a sale based on what I've seen, but I'm willing to see more.

>>543989021
Even if I grant you that, then 99% of people are retarded and it's not worth giving a shit about controlling the narrative for them over what their first halo is. They're just going to run back to the fortnite bus either way.

>>543988168
Look up halo 1 on YouTube right now. Most of it is anniversary graphics. And it’s hideous. The general population doesn’t care about the original intended experience they want the officially marketed “definitive” experience that is most easily accessible on the front page of their digital storefront. When you talk with someone about Halo 1 in the future, the other person will be talking about this remake, and they will have no idea there was multiplayer.

>>543988418
They wont be holdouts. It’s going to be casually curious people who will get it on sale a year after it comes out. They’ll get a lesser experience. And that is sad.

at this point im surprised they haven't run halo 3 through the remake slopification machine

>>543989021
Good. Let retards play the retard halo.

>>543989228
>and they will have no idea there was multiplayer
reminds me of some dude on his high horse saying I got my memories and knowledge of OG Marathon multiplayer existing from some video/stream

>>543989228
I'm looking on youtube right now and that's not the case at all lol

>>543989242
I think they want to but they can’t because it is too big and too complicated of a project. Things like theater are too popular of a feature and 343 doesn’t have the technical competency to remake it 18 years later.

>>543989242
they'd actually have to develop a multiplayer mode

>>543989353
I get accused of that all the time when discussion about that comes up.
>no one cares about marathon you only know it because of mandaloregaming's videos!
Like, no dude I'm in my 30's I was around for early Bungie.

>>543989228
nah. Care about your own experiences, not what some snoys who won't even stick around in the community will think.
Yeah if I walk around in public and ask zoomers about star wars, they will maybe say they like Kylo Ren or the new shit. If I go to an actual star wars convention, or forum, it's chuck filled to the brim with people who still insist on viewing the movies without any of George's gay edits or whatnot.
The masses have always had retarded opinions about Halo, long before today. You should stop letting them live rent free in your head. And let's be honest, 343 isn't creating some huge new contingent of fans with this. They didn't with CEA, and they won't now. They suck at that. Call the game shit by all means, lose the God Complex.

>>543989716
this

>hey man you know how the beam tower is iconic?
>what if we made everything the beam tower?
It's fucking everywhere. It's the new hexagonal pillar.

>>543989716
My experience of halo on the original Xbox is untainted anon. I’ll be fine I don’t think I’ll even play this. I’m saying I feel bad for new players, and I feel bad for the original devs >>543986339 seeing their lightning in a bottle masterpiece shit on and covered up by incompetence. The sequels they made were bad enough, remakes are awful.

>>543989908
it looks straight out of infinite too

>>543989242
I think it will happen. Quite strongly after this. Because all the sandbox additions and changes are derived from Halo 3. The AR change and adding vehicle stun are the two most direct examples.

>he actually thinks snoys are going to play this
lmao no. just no. They don't give a fuck. If they did, they would have grabbed MCC on PC for 5 bucks one of the 40 times it was on sale in the last several years.
Snoys do not care about Xbox shit. They didnt fucking TOUCH that gears remaster.
Hell, they don't even touch their own exclusives. Pic related is what snoys play.
There will be no grand resurgence with this game. It will crash and burn and Xbox with it.

>>543990185
this
the only people in any sizable number that like halo are legacy xbros
This shit will bomb hard on PS5 just like Gears Reloaded

>>543989485
if the CE sells well enough without the multiplayer, I'm guessing they'll be ballsy enough to remake the halo 3 campaign and not bother with theater or multiplayer since any new fans probably don't even know that theater mode was a thing

>>543990185
who the fuck buys an expensive console to play roblox

>>543990306
this has been the Playstation market for 2 generations now.

>>543990306
that's literally what Playstation Users do.
You didn't let /v/ trick you into thinking that those Eastern and weeb exclusives were actually what were selling the consoles, did you?
The average snoy has no fucking idea what bloodborne even is kek.

>>543990185
I'm guessing it's going to be a November release too because 25th anniversary, which means it's going to be up against GTA VI.
Can't wait to see the PS5 player numbers make shitfinite's steam playercount look highly populated.

>>543990382
3 generations

>>543990306
The Non-Nintendo console market has been an enigma for many years now.
People literally ask their parents to buy them for shit they can play on their phones.

>>543990306
Normie console users are fucking terrifying.
I see it occasionally on fb marketplace, you'll find something like "xbox/playstation game collection" and it's just 25 yearly sports games and call of duty.

>>543990504
yup.
I'm all for shitting on this remake, it looks horrendous, but anybody actually losing sleep over the idea that there's going to be some significant wave of new halo fans created that are indoctrinated into thinking THIS is what halo is really has no accurate read on the Playstation public and market interest.

>>543990524
fair enough

>>543990306
People en masse have not been buying Xbox or Playstation for exclusives for over a decade now.
Actually, of those two, Xbox has a slightly higher exclusive attachment rate, probably because of game pass.

>>543990185
>if snoys were going to play halo, they would have bought it on pc
what

>>543990185
this
the snoys you see on /v/ are not representative of their actual base.
Snoys overwhelmingly play Fifa, CoD, Fortnite, Roblox, Minecraft, and GTA.

>>543989228
Dude, none of the trailers or demo footage have even crossed the 1m mark. Nobody gives a shit about this demake.

>>543990872
Everybody in the United States that lives in a house that can afford a PS5 has a computer in their hone that can run MCC. Some fucking school Chromebook can even run it.

>>543990951
I'm gonna sound like a huge hypocrite after shitting on 5's ADS for a decade, but that needler ADS really doesn't look that bad

>>543990872
I think his point is Halo CE is extremely accessible. If you have a PC or laptop that is from 2014 or newer you can run MCC and they give that away for a few bucks frequently

>>543990951
lower the contrast holy shit

>>543990951
I still hate the jagged crystals on the needler. Thanks for that Reach.

>>543990294
It’s possible I guess? But I think part of the reason halo 3 was exceptional is it did so many things so well. Going for less than 1/3 of the playerbase with a campaign only remake would be an odd choice financially. And the only thing that didn’t age flawlessly graphics wise are some of the face models. The whole thing seems like sunken cost fallacy. Remaking the campaign wouldn’t do anything except change the look, just redoing the faces wouldn’t reconstitute it being sold as a new game, remaking the whole game would be too monumental of a task to actually accomplish. Halo 3 I think was future proofed. The only sad thing is mcc’s netcode is ass and the menus suck compared to the original. But I mean the overall halo 3 just exists and 343 can’t do anything to replace it.

>>543991003
That does make me feel good anon. Thank you.

>>543990942
People that used PS4 primarily for exclusives was around 10% of users I think. Though more had played an exclusive game at some point.

I think this only could have worked if
a) Halo didn't spend over a decade shitting itself to death
b) Halo CE never existed outside of the original xbox
There is no greater audience for Halo anymore. It's just Halo fans that would buy Halo regardless.

>>543991414
>>543991549
why is he grey

i hope they added a space battle cutscene at the start of the game atleast

I wish they would have remade CE’s multiplayer.

>>543991414
>>543991549
>This is now.

why are they making a remake, we already have a remaster. is halo studios stupid?

>>543991598
Color is gay and old.

The new missions should be from other characters’ pov. Discuss

>>543991492
Console gaming is so fucking cursed in the modern era
A select few games have the overwhelming majority of players retention. Yes, people will occasionally play something else but if you look at the achievement/trophy tracking data, they almost mever even finish the game once.

>>543991769
No.

>they aren't using that ungodly infinite ma5b skin
Oh thank god.
>it's yet another weirdly proportioned blocky thing
Fuck sake. Marcus Lehto proving to be the only one that can make a HD MA5B without fucking it up.

>>543991263
It’s literally infinites model. I’m really sad because I adore the CE’s Blue look in first person

>>543991769
If you can pull that off well you have the skill to make it entertaining from Chief's POV and then make bonus content from the POV of others.
Rather, the competence is there up until it is hampered by some higher-up with bad ideas and the wrong priorities.

>>543991769
hmm.. maybe a team of different characters? honestly, that might be enough content for a whole game!

>>543991683
i'm going to bed but the short version of my take is that this feels like what we should have gotten in 2011 instead of CEA. Obviously it wouldn't have this high fidelity visuals, but you know what I mean.
I still would have complained about it, but half of my issue with what I saw today was that it just seemed so unnecessary right now.
It would have been so much easier to just port MCC to PS5, no?

>>543991787
It's a fucking nightmare looking at achievement acquisition %. It's shit like
>finish the first level - 73%
>finish the second level - 17%
