By Wahrer Go To PostIt did die 11 years ago.I suppose you're right. Removing the 3sk pistol=RIP Halo MP.
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostWatched the new Gears of War Ultimate footage on various YouTube channels…. My word does that game look stunning! It makes me kinda sad that Halo 5 didn't go 30fps on campaign…Why?
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostWhy?
Not the guy you're asking but I'll throw in my opinion.
Graphics are nice but I play games for the gameplay and 60fps is worlds smoother than 30 and enables true competitive play which is what 343 is going for. I suppose for the campaign it wouldn't be atrocious but I would still enjoy it less at 30 than I will at 60.
If you want to see the prettiest graphics possible, go watch a Disney movie.
By derpface123 Go To PostNot the guy you're asking but I'll throw in my opinion.That's why I'm asking Fahz, because higher framerates are objectively better for a video game, especially shooters.

You guys know that 60fps was a direct result of the fact that gameplay is extremely fast now? Pulling off those quick thrusts, vaults, and other moves at 30fps would be nauseating. Watching how fast the pros played and maneuvered reassured me that 60fps was needed for this new gameplay experience. This isn't slow paced Halo 3 gameplay anymore, this is cranked up to 11.

What it does do though is give the player better oppurtunity to respond what's going on in the game, as well as decrease the time the game registers when buttons were pressed on the controller.

Perhaps. Regardless of the reason behind it, I completely agree with their decision. 60fps makes the gameplay so much smoother, and going back to 30fps after playing the MCC would have been jarring.
To be honest it still looks good, sure H4 looked better in comparison to the rest of the game on 360. But I still think there are things we are not taking into account (cut scenes and faces). Animations look amazing as well, much better than Battlefront imo.

I never said it makes it faster, I said it was a result of the gameplay being faster. When you have rapid motion on screen that requires quick inputs 60fps is gonna poop on 30fps
Only tangenially Halo, but I happened upon this cover in a GAF thread and thought it reminded me of a certain someone:
I've been out of the loop of this Slaent place but is that actually Stinkles on the first page? I.e Frankie?

Yep. It's him.

Does he still post? Lol wtf why did people talk to him like that jesus...
By FollowTheWind Go To PostDoes he still post? Lol wtf why did people talk to him like that jesus…About as often as he posted in HaloGAF to be honest.
He's pretty elusive.
By JayEleven Go To PostSprint was one of the things they openly talked about in that EGM Halo 2 article way back when. Some early form of Invasion as well, which is why we had Elite player models. I remember there was an isometric drawing of a multiplayer battlefield filled with Spartans and Covenant.Do you happen to remember the source? Cut content is kind of my thing, I would love to see this first hand. Google isn't being very helpful.

Ah fair enough, you still post on Beyond too? I gave up didn't like the way those forums are set up in weird ways. This is much better.
i have a real life friend that says the time to kill difference between halo and cod is imperceptible to him.
smh.
should i drop him?
smh.

By FollowTheWind Go To PostAh fair enough, you still post on Beyond too? I gave up didn't like the way those forums are set up in weird ways. This is much better.I occasionally post on Beyond. I mostly just read the HCS thread though, I find the actual game discussion on there quite tiring.
This place is super chill though which is really nice.

smh.

Either that orhjhe doesn't actually know what TTK means.
By Wesleyshark Go To PostThis is sobering: http://wastedondestiny.comSo I did the math, and according to this, you've played 5.3 hours a day every single day since release, and that's not factoring in the other time you mentioned.
Doesn't account for time spent in orbit, or in the tower, or being idle.
That being said…
Xbox says I've logged 1,779 hours.
WOD says I've logged 1,169 hours.
That is literally a full-time job. How the hell do you even manage to do that, let alone not get sick of it?

Is it that bad of a game? I'm thinking of picking it up (TTK legendary) on release just to give it a shot, if not for Bungie at least for the high production quality. Also don't wanna miss the biggest new IP of this gen.
By jem Go To PostI occasionally post on Beyond. I mostly just read the HCS thread though, I find the actual game discussion on there quite tiring.i googled some numbers and found that cod (ghosts) TTK was about 0.2 seconds whereas halo 4 was about 1.6 (didnt break it down by weapons, these are just rough "overall" numbers). he said "thats only a little over a second difference, do you use a stop watch to even notice?". LOL

EGM Issue #160, 2001. Scans are probably nonexistent online, but maybe you can find some archaic forum post discussing it buried somewhere.

Also don't wanna miss the biggest new IP of this gen.It's a pretty bad game. There's a real lack of story or any substance in the quests and missions. They artificially extend the lifespan of the game with grinding and the mechanics are pretty bad to support the grinding system. They were far too focused on psychologically getting people addicted to the game rather than making fun mechanics. The multiplayer is unbalanced, the maps are bad and the game types are mostly based around killing even in objective modes. I like the game's art style and music, those are really the only redeeming factors. The legendary edition may seem like a pretty good deal on the surface, but the original game wasn't worth 60 dollars and the expansions were even worse value wise, some pretty disgusting price points.
If I do decided to get Blops 3 I'm torn between PS4 or Bone...
I like my scheme I have set up via the custom mapping in the options, but I'm too lazy to wanna reset to defualts every time I put in another game...that's where the allure of the elite controller comes in...
darn you Halo/Destiny...I can't go back....I need bumper jumper in everything

This is exactly what I heard, also heard with TTK they're changing some stuff to make it better, but I don't know. I feel I kind of owe it to Bungie to give it a shot since they did make my favourite IP of all time, also with all the trailers, I LOVE the art style and music going in it. Seems to have high production values.
Maybe I'll buy the base game for cheap and give it a shot, or TTK legendary for 60 dollars with all the expansions. Not sure just yet.
I'd imagine the taken king will be a good buy. i cant imagine someone not getting 60 bucks worth of ejoyment out of it, but i suppose it depends on your expectations. even if you arent into the grind, there should be plenty of gameplay for you with missions, strikes, etc., and multiplayer is a fun distraction.
Thanks, you've convinced me. I don't plan on buying Call of Duty this year, and I don't plan on buying Battlefront till maybe later December+ (will already be busy with Halo). So I think Destiny would be a nice distraction from all the MP!

Thanks, I like this info on a re-done levelling system, changes reminds me of what they did to WoW over time (which is good). I can just tell with Reach Bungie was experimenting for this. With all the armour abilities, that shadow step is the elite roll.
By LoopOfHenle Go To PostYeah, I'm taking any talk of massive improvements with a grain of salt. Bungie said some of the same stuff with the 2 already released expansions.But this is actually well documented stuff and what is actually coming to the game whether you get The Taken King or not. But be dismissive on your time, I suppose.
What about all that exclusive content ordeal (the 1 year early thing)? There still stuff like that? Because I plan on getting it on my XB1.
By FollowTheWind Go To PostWhat about all that exclusive content ordeal (the 1 year early thing)? There still stuff like that? Because I plan on getting it on my XB1.No idea on that front. I haven't followed that part at all since I have it on PS4 and don't have to deal with it.
By FollowTheWind Go To PostWhat about all that exclusive content ordeal (the 1 year early thing)? There still stuff like that? Because I plan on getting it on my XB1.
Sony has a deal with Destiny (ba dum tss) and so they get 1 year exclusivity on some missions, legendary gear, certain multiplayer maps, etc.
There's more exclusive stuff coming to PS4. Really sucks.

Ah fuck, it is what it is. I feel like Sony are real proud of it lmao. Getting that Bungie DLC, pretty smart of them.

But be dismissive on your time, I suppose.I dunno about "dismissive." Cynical, maybe. Destiny got oversold pretty hard the first time around, and some of us (myself included) are still feeling the burn. They're making all the right noises now, but then, they did that before, no?
By LoopOfHenle Go To PostMcc anyone?
Not related to your post, but just noticed your name haha. Any reason for that part of the anatomy?
If anyone here is into Halo esports I have a new show called HCS Now. Check it out.

By Mix Go To PostJesus Christ there are over 190,000 people watching the Destiny twitch stream right nowWow, that's crazy. I hope the game gets to the game I envisioned when it was first announced. It sounds as if it's getting closer.
So anyone know when new Halo 5 information will hit? I'm getting really anxious. I have missed the game since the beta. I need new info lol.
