By Laboured Go To PostHalo MCC announced for Steam. (And Windows Store lol).I'll get it on Windows Store if it is a Play Anywhere title. Otherwise, Steam it is.
By Flutter Go To PostReach being released first, awesome"reach was trash"
reach was the last fun halo tho. can't trust the halo community
By DY_nasty Go To Postarena was boring as fuck lol
that's the problem with halo's community more than anything. yal think that flabby barebones arena modes by themselves are worth the wait.
they're not. get with the times old man
Call pure competition and map control boring. Keep getting exposed brehs.
Let me guess. The times are broken Warlocks and flying Mages with unblockable supers in PVP combat , amirite.
By DY_nasty Go To Post"reach was trash"Going in for the single player for Reach and Halo 3.
reach was the last fun halo tho. can't trust the halo community
Fat chance in getting a good player count for MP in SEA

For the team at 343 Industries, the most important and critical element of this project is ensuring that MCC delivers a true “first class” experience on PC. We’re embarking on a journey with our community to build a real PC experience that delivers on PC gamer expectations. The team is passionately committed to ensuring that all the features, bells, and whistles expected in a modern PC title are included with MCC. These features may vary somewhat by title, and we won’t get everything in there all at once – this is a product and an experience that will grow and evolve over time. We are laying the groundwork for PC native features such as excellent mouse and keyboard controls, support for multiple resolutions and aspect ratios, field-of-view sliders, and adjustable framerates, to name but a few. And yes, there will be support for Xbox gamepads and other PC controllers.I'm pleasantly surprised. Hopefully you can rid of the ghosting in Reach.
Also, Microsoft's newest Xbox Live sdk supports cross-play between Xbox Live and Steam. I'm expecting this to be on of their first titles showcasing this.

Honest to God, I watched like all of E3 last year and I do not recall Gears of War 5 being announced.
By Laboured Go To PostHonest to God, I watched like all of E3 last year and I do not recall Gears of War 5 being announced.It was kind of a bad unveiling. It was after they announced two other Gears of War games (Pop and Tactics) and then the trailer was all story stuff, Kait brooding and then wandering through frozen wastelands. You know, stuff Gears of War is known for like storytelling and drama.

you must not have heard about how i shit on destiny pvp all the time lmao. i used to get mad at people just for suggesting i play trials with them. first off, i've never respected warlocks in my life and never will. significant vertical disadvantage is a continuous hill to climb... all their wonky bullshit grenades will never make up for the fact that they get shit on around every corner or walkway 50/50. supers have never bothered me either. even when you had titans running around unkillable for 15+ seconds or now while people still get infinite supers in destiny lol. low key shitting on supers is the best thing about the game going back to D1...
to me though, halo 5 is either irredeemably bullshit hijinx modes or plain boring. there's no inbetween. at least destiny played off of the randomness a bit. it felt like a playground and until bungie steered completely into the skid, that was perfectly fine with me. the layout would still never change though - map control and balancing spawns is still by far the best way to guarantee a win in destiny even down to 2 v 2 and ffa modes. can't really avoid that so its nothing i'll complain about too much
but since we're talking on it and you're still serious -- my *biggest* issue with halo is that the only quality game modes they have are basically the virtua fighter of FPS. its good, there's nothing wrong with it. its actually pretty technically solid. its just boring as shit and only people who are 28+ even acknowledge it. and just like any other old ass fighting game that stays past its welcome, there's just nothing new you can add to things to make it interesting without drastically changing the game's appeal in the first place. that's the worst thing that can happen to a game or community.
By Smokey Go To PostRvy is this whatimagine negotiating peace amongst pc gamers of all things, with halo on steam and the windows storephilallah is capable of?

halo 5 arena is good, it's just not what keeps attention these days. to be successful halo needs a battle royale mode to attact casuals, then feed them into arena when they decide to get competitive. but even then, I don't know if competitive halo can be a thing again.
At least it's not out of the box terrible like Anthem.
I'll get it when...
....
well if there's a 60% off sale.

Watching a Division 2 stream and well...
The setting feels like it should be the first game of the series. I'm sure the tech is improved but the snow in the first just makes everything look a hell lot better.

more playable sure. i'll never argue that... we not gonna act like all division's entire weapon loot pool comes down to continuous dps vs burst damage though.

I think arena stuff will do ok on PC. We grew up on that shit anyway. Looking forward to it anyhow, never really got deep into Halo apart from 3, and that's because i used to play it with the younger brother. Glad it's on a proper digital distribution platform, too, and not held hostage on that windows garbage.
does anyone else think it's weird that we're seeing these alt right bait games in the lead up to trump's re-election

Last time they tried to switch it up, Halo 4 was the result. Fuck that.
Do you even know what "fun" is to you in a FPS lol
Sadly I do 😭 I didn't realize how fortunate I was to enjoy Unreal Tournament as a kid.
And all change isn't bad SMH that's what's wrong with all of the halo shit... You can't be the finished product of arena shooters of the time then say you want to steal ideas from call of duty. Or say you're coming back with a new battle royale mode. There's basically no competition for what halo does but for some reason improving on what makes it good is not ever the answer - it's add poorly thought out ideas, go all or nothing on disingenuous marketing leading up to release, then ignore the remaining fans for up to year or more.
I think that there's legit room to improve or at the very least transition into a better state for Halo. Notice I never hate on the series itself, just 343 and the old ass fans who are locked in on nostalgia which cripple the growth potential that's left.

Borderlands felt different, didn't look half bad for what is was going for, but it got so fucking boring that I stopped.
I would love a Halo that's OG. If I wanted loadouts and perks and shit I'd play something else. Gimme real map control back but equal footing to deal with it instead of RPS.

See. Halo can't win for shit. Dy wants it to change but people want it to stay to its roots. I lean towards the second. It is what it is and does it well. Add some wrinkles but full scale overhaul of what Halo MP is on some God of War shyt? Nah.
By Flutter Go To PostThe biggest thing that's stopping Halo's potential is the IP being only popular in the west.
I don't think so. Shit you can expand that to Xbox as a whole.
I think i had the highest Kills/game in the world on Warzone, thats why smokey says its for scrubs :(

I think Dy is more like it needs something on top of the OG shit but not trying to be CoD with space aliens.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI think Dy is more like it needs something on top of the OG shit but not trying to be CoD with space aliens.I could've forgiven a lot of the load out shit if there had been better communication about it all.
Sprinting... Okay, I'll work with you. Air dashing though? Lol ok fuck everybody huh
I had the same reaction to the air dash thing until i got used to it, and all of sudden it was a part of the meta.
By rodeoclown Go To PostThe campaign is inexcusable. I think it's pretty telling that they turned over campaign leads, brought in a new narrative director and have spent a lot of time apologizing for it. Although, really, how they could have possibly thought people wanted to play as Not Chief after H2 boggles my mind.
Though my favorite part of the H5 campaign backlash is that the missions people like, all the stuff on Sanghelios, happens when they're palling around with the Arbiter. He finally got his due!
Eh idk I think creating a PoC Spartan to be the Leon to Halo's Chris Redfield wouldn't be bad. The issue is just that everything about that campaign sucked. We're going to go back to a mute Chief again as an overreaction which...meh, but I won't complain. But you cant have Cortana as your main villain and continue to have masked Chief mumbling about. You either go full throttle on it being an emotional narrative or you don't. No real in between.
Wow I'd actually completely forgotten about Cortana

I just really had it when they introduced unlocking things to utilize in game. Can't carry two nades or pick them off corpses or whatever it was gotta unlock a perk first. Fuck you.
By Smoke Dogg Go To PostAnyone know a good Zelda-like on iOS?Oceanhorn
By Laboured Go To PostSo ready!
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI just really had it when they introduced unlocking things to utilize in game. Can't carry two nades or pick them off corpses or whatever it was gotta unlock a perk first. Fuck you.in Halo? i don't think this was a thing. There was a Warzone perk system thing and one of those made you start with 3 grenades.
