I like the changes made to the Suppressor as it looks more unique this time around. Looks fun to use.

Man, of all the Halo games I would have wanted 100% fully remastered for Xbox one including all original modes and features it would have been Halo reach by a mile. GOAT campaign and customs. Reach at 1080P 60fps without that shitty antialiasing solution would look incredible
By Tsumiya Go To PostThank god gears is almost here. Will be a very good distraction ( ¯◡◡¯ )Who's your favorite character? Mine is WHOOO!
I mean Cole.

At least it sounds and looks amazing.
You can see very faint holo sight lines coming out of each side of the PP. I really like its new more contoured look, same with the needled. Good stuff 343.
I got a new Xbox on ebay for $300, but they ran out of stock on the one I got (just a plain 500 GB console), so they upgraded it to the Gears Ultimate bundle for no additional charge. No shipping or tax either, so not a bad deal.

That's pretty boss.
Shooting grenades out of the air was total random bullshit, never should be in any competitive things. No one is TRYING to shoot grenades out of the air.
Also, CE online is garbage. Had a game tonight where shit was literally running 30s - 1m behind of the action on screen. Couldn't reload guns, couldn't pick up guns, couldn't kill anything, etc etc.

Eh, I prefer how it looked in Reach/4 much better. I just hope EMPs don't disable vehicle turrets like in Halo 4.
I wonder if they'll let you add a little fin to it to be more like the Halo 4 version:
Could be useful for Smart Scoping, as depressing as that sounds.
IDK. I just greatly prefer Halo CE's aesthetics over almost everything that came after it. I just can't look at each iteration of Halo without some level of distaste or disapproval.
The new plasma pistol is bulbous and looks like a toy made out of cheap plastic IMO. I really like the metal look of PP in Halo CE and it looked and sounded like it had weight to it.
EDIT: Meh. W/E. It's already growing on me.

Hard to decide.. Very hard for me to pick favorite characters in most things unless its a widespread win lol. Almost all of the main class have so many amazing & fun moments its hard to pick.. as far as bad guys I think raam is the best locust bad guy. His voice was amazing! Shame he had to get rekt in the first game =/

Dat. Suppresor.
The plasma pistol looks and sounds great in motion. I like the static overload noise. Makes the gun sound like a formidable weapon as opposed to a pea shooter.
By FUNKNOWN iXi Go To PostApparently I'm at -30 points on Reddit for my comment on blowing grenades/Rockets up mid-air being poor game design for Halo. What are your thoughts, are you glad they removed it from Halo 5 or do you enjoy having your grenades explode as soon as you release it?
The ability to intercept rockets with small arms fire should be OK, provided the rocket is large and slow enough to make it practical. Otherwise it's unnecessarily random.
By Fata1moose Go To PostThe plasma pistol sounds like a toy, I like the new bulbous look though.Think the pistol could stand to have a little more crackle to it, but other than that, I kinda like it.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostThink the pistol could stand to have a little more crackle to it, but other than that, I kinda like it.
It's a Covenant sidearm, not a MAC cannon. Not every weapon in the game has to sound like it can blow a hole through six planets with just one shot.
By Fata1moose Go To PostThe plasma pistol sounds like a toy, I like the new bulbous look though.
Have you seen the new Needler? It has the same bulbous/contoured look going for it and I think it looks really cool.
Also, brand new 60fps 1080p Warzone gameplay. This is pretty much the first time Warzone footage this high quality has been put on YouTube and it looks so good.

I'm indifferent on it.
Looks like noob combo is a thing of history, I think the video shows that you can't switch to another weapon immediately after firing a charged shot.
Also Liquid's new roster will be very interesting.

But there's actually a "Noob Combo" medal now for when you get the plasma overcharge headshot kill.
See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt1foXIi1Yo&t=8m50s
8 minutes, 50 seconds in.
By derpface123 Go To PostBut there's actually a "Noob Combo" medal now for when you get the plasma overcharge headshot kill.Oh that's interesting, looks like they just add a limit on how fast you can switch weapons?
I figured the Plasma Pistol would be more powerful, since Vale uses it in her loadout, but I didn't expect it to be that powerful. Really looking forward to using it, makes me want to play as Vale even more.
I couldn't tell from the video, so when the spartan shakes his hands after he fires an EMP Blast, he can't switch weapons instantly?
I just assumed he wasn't switching, or he may be doing something wrong (maybe some new heat timing mechanic?).
Edit: Yep just reviewed the part where he noob combo's the spartan at around 8:30. He switches the weapons almost instantly (but it's odd the EMP blast didn't seem to track or hit the blue guy).

I like all of the medals that are callbacks to Halo's history, the combat evolved medal, BXR and now the noob combo one.

"They shouldn't be "upset" exactly. As long as they know it looks like trash, there's not much more to be said."
Yep, trash. Fallout 4 looks like trash. That's not even a particularly good screenshot, if I had the time I would find a better one.
Can I just say how fucking sick I am of gamers only thinking of things in black & white terms?
If a game doesn't have the best graphics they've ever seen, they think the game looks like trash. What the fuck. Where's the grey area? Do these people not know what a nuanced opinion is?
Halo...

I know it's really frustrating. I hear the same shit about Halo 5, "oh it just looks like an up-rezzed halo 4". We have an up-rezzed Halo 4 in the MCC and there is a clear cut difference between them.
But of course thats not possible to say, if it's not looking better than The Order 1886 then it's suddenly *insert last gen game* up-rezzed.

Gamers can be such miserable fucks sometimes. Fallout 4 looks smashing.

We have an up-rezzed Halo 4 in the MCC and there is a clear cut difference between them.I sometimes wonder how some of NeoGAF's hardcore gaming population find joy in video games.

What is actually wrong with that screenshot? It looks good and when I compare it to a similar one from Fallout 3, I can see a massive difference.

This. The lack of grey areas is one of numerous signs of people being joyless fucks. I'm sure they'd say they love games and take great pleasure in them, but you cannot help but get an impression of many gamers being asshats over nothing.
By FollowTheWind Go To PostWhat is actually wrong with that screenshot? It looks good and when I compare it to a similar one from Fallout 3, I can see a massive difference.
I have no issue with it either but there are more impressive scenes that have been shown, such as the light shining through the trees onto the flowing river, but I couldn't find that scene in a high resolution.
I am extremely excited for Fallout 4, it's my #2 most anticipated game this year right behind Halo 5. Too many good games coming out this year.
It kind of frustrates me, and I don't know if this is "arm chair pro" state of mind. But why do all the WarZone guests seem to SUCK so much. I though RUL was good and that gameplay he uploaded was pretty poor, with so many stupid decisions and weird moves.
Arena was way more bearable to watch.

Beta was in January. He hadn't played it since. Then it was at E3 (5 months later) so he would be hella rusty. Then it was at Gamescom (another month later), and it's not like he played anywhere near as much at E3 as he did in the beta so he's probably still super rusty. X15 Toronto is quite a few weeks from Gamescom and he's still rusty.
Also recognize Warzone is pure chaos and hardly meant to be competitive. Crazy stuff happens and you'll probably die sometimes at random because some dude crashes into you with his Banshee and you didn't see him coming because you were throwing a grenade at a ghost and trying to pick off 2 guys with your BR and oh my god what is happening this is nuts.
Again can we please source the vids that get linked. I keep clicking RUL videos and I dont want to.
Funny how LoA is the person linking RUL vids.

By FollowTheWind Go To PostWhats wrong with RUL? I do feel he releases some good meaningful content (unlike Halo Follower),GreenSkull
Care to explain your problem with Greenskull in a well-thought-out and informative post? I hope it's not because he's overly positive about most things Halo.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostAgain can we please source the vids that get linked. I keep clicking RUL videos and I dont want to.I'll be sure to next time. I don't care for RUL, but he's the only one with the Plasma Pistol gameplay (trust me, I've scoured YouTube looking for PP gameplay), so I couldn't NOT use his videos to link the gameplay to you guys.

Lol, capitalizing "Him". He who shall not be named!
Let's be real here Ragnarok, you don't get along with a lot of people that most get along just fine with. I don't think it's Greenskull's problem.

I'm very interested in exactly why you two don't get along. Mind linking me your twitter?
By FollowTheWind Go To PostI'm very interested in exactly why you two don't get along. Mind linking me your twitter?
If he behaves on Twitter anything like he behaves here, I'm not surprised why he doesn't get along with people. Let's not forget he pissed off Frankie a few months back to such an extent that Frankie made a lengthy post calling him out on his bullshit.
I don't follow Ready Up Live or watch their videos besides their exclusive Halo footage but I would be shocked if it was Greenskull who was in the wrong here. Seems to me like Ragnarok was being a stinker as he often is, Greenskull rightly called him out on it, and now Ragnarok is pulling the childish "wah he made me take responsibility for my words" and now he wants to feel all righteous by not giving Ready Up Live the hundred-thousandth of a penny they receive every time he watches one of their videos.
I sincerely doubt they care.
