By YouNoMeDawg Go To PostSo is MCC getting another update? Should we all tweet at Bravo or something and ask?They've said there will be another one at some point. Although I imagine they're starting to wind it down now that it's in a mostly working state.
In regards to the Spielberg Halo TV show... As of June 2015:
"We still are working on it," Ross told GameSpot this afternoon. "But nothing to announce at this point."

Honestly, I wouldn't mind them scaling Halo campaigns down to three difficulty levels. You could have your dedicated co-op with the kids / exploration / journalist impressions Easy mode, the "default" preferred level that's most properly balanced (Heroic), and then the Nintendo Hard computer-is-a-cheating-bastard Ready to Die difficulty. Now that difficulty scales with number of co-op partners it seems like it'd naturally iron out the kinks between the three levels of difficulty anyways.

RIP in pieces Dark Sims from Perfect Dark.
I'm pretty sure I recall Rare devs saying that those sims actually DO cheat the game's own systems slightly.

It was shut down bymodsModBot for going too-off topic.
Just read it, didn't seem that bad to me to warrant such a harsh decision.
"but there is no longer a need for a general purpose Halo thread" I mean come on.
By HighResTomato Go To PostJust read it, didn't seem that bad to me to warrant such a harsh decision.Honestly, I think they were already looking for a reason to shut it down. Can't confirm that obviously, but it seems highly likely. Either way, doesn't matter now... This place is better. Long live HaloENT!

By belushy Go To PostDid dark theme break for anyone else?Reilo released an update to the site which has changed some things. Which theme are you using? Mine seems to be fine.

Pretty sure you're right:
"As the in-game description notes, the DarkSim is NOT human. It runs faster than the PerfectSim, shoots with 100% accuracy (excepting a moving target using cover), completes objectives with ease, overwhelming all other simulants except for the PerfectSim, and tends to know where the enemy is at ALL times, no matter where they might be in the map. The DarkSim is adept at using all types of weapons, and can use the Fly-by-wire function of the Slayer. Unlike all other Simulants, it spawns with a shield, and can teleport around the map if the radar is disabled. While they can run at twice the normal speed, a SpeedSim can keep up with it, and a C-strafing human player can outrun it."

By Ricky Ricardo Go To Post2 weeks till Gamescom, famI forsee more Warzone honestly. They need to show as much as possible because it is how they'll be recouping on their Free DLC losses.
Hope we get some Blue Team action
But that's just looking from a business standpoint.
I just want more Arena gameplay. Without the AR because fuck it.

Halo 5: Guardians gamescom Invitational 2015
We’re gearing up for our return to one of the world’s largest gaming industry shows – gamescom in Cologne, Germany, and today, we’re excited to announce this year’s Halo 5: Guardians gamescom Invitational by ESL. The tournament will take place on Friday, August 7 in the ESL Arena on the gamescom show floor. The Invitational will provide us with a first look at high-stakes Arena gameplay, which focuses on pure, skill based 4v4 combat. Four top teams have been invited:
Epsilon Esports (EU)
Roster: BUK20, BUK57, Jimbo, Snipedrone
Supremacy (EU)
Roster: Ramirez, TuFoxy, Chalkie, Riotz
CAZ.Esports (EU)
Roster: Flamez, Vard, Snakey, Hollers
OpTic Gaming (NA)
Roster: Flamesword, Ace, Assault, Maniac
The teams will have an opportunity to get reacquainted with Arena during the week at gamescom, and on Friday, duke it out against one another in a four-team bracket. Be sure to tune into the action on the Halo Channel and Twitch.tv/Halo to see the first look at pre-launch Arena tournament goodness. We’ll have more to share about the teams, format, maps, and more as we get closer to the event.
Also it will almost certainly be AR/Pistol starts.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostInb4jemorwesleyorPoodledefendARSupressor > AR ;)
I don't defend AR starts; I'm just not bothered by them tbh. And given how they beefed it up in Halo 5, I'll continue to not be bothered by them haha.
By jem0208 Go To PostThey've said there will be another one at some point. Although I imagine they're starting to wind it down now that it's in a mostly working state.I wish I could agree with this, but it seems to be getting worse over the past few weeks/couple months. It's bizarre.

H5 AR starts are a whole 'nother animal compared to CE/2*/3/4/Reach AR starts, dammit.

Not right now because it is broken.
Off Topic: Phil Spencer confirmed on Twitter that mouse support is currently being worked on for the Xbox One. Keyboard support is already supported, obviously.
Yep, keyboard and mouse support for Xbox would need to be there for this to work, those aren't far away.

By Poodlestrike Go To PostContext? For what to work?PC to Xbox streaming, which isn't in the immediate future but is something that will eventually get put into the pipeline. Mouse support is coming for sure though.
We're also going to hear about release dates for the windows 10 Xbox UI soon.

By Wesleyshark Go To PostWelcome to HaloENT zoabs!
By Fahzgoolin Go To PostWelcome sir. I hope you enjoy your stay… Cuz no one ever gets out.
Glad to have another join!
Thanks everyone!
On a Halo note, I know you guys aren't having the same problem as me considering most everyone is playing MCC regularly, but ever since the Halo 5 beta I've found myself not playing Halo at all. Every classic halo game feels so slow paced compared to Halo 5 (and Titanfall which i was primarily playing before MCC). Halo 4 somewhat scratches the itch, but the maps are terribad excluding like 4 of them. I still enjoy playing Relic on H2A though for some reason. Literally the only "classic" gametype/map I can tolerate for some reason.
But yeah, really can't wait for more Halo 5 campaign footage that hopefully shows some openness and non-linearity or at least some new arena footage from the HCS invitational at gamescom.
By Poodlestrike Go To PostSuppressor seems to have a spinup period now; curious to see how else it's changed.That's the spin up until it reaches its max fire rate which it does quicker than the one in 4 apparently.
By Storm Go To PostThat's the spin up until it reaches its max fire rate which it does quicker than the one in 4 apparently.Huh. Never noticed the spin up in 4.
I'd love the new RTS to be Halo Wars 2. At the same time I want a new MechCommander. And then a new IP also, because why not.
By RedSparrows Go To PostI'd love the new RTS to be Halo Wars 2. At the same time I want a new MechCommander. And then a new IP also, because why not.You.
You I like.
MechCommander 2 was the absolute shit back in the day. I must have played through the campaign a half dozen times as a kid.

Aside from Halo 4, the older Halo titles feel like molasses as far as mobility and fluidity are concerned. It was fine for their time of release for sure, but with being able to sprint and dodge or clamber in most modern titles, and it being so dang useful- it's jarring when they aren't available haha. Titanfall and Destiny are the only MP shooters I can enjoy so far this gen, and even Titanfall faded out because I burned out on it from playing it constantly haha. Everything else feels really, really slow.
Oh right, I need to actually load up MCC so I can get entered into the contest for those controllers. Forgot about that.
I think this'll be the first time in months that I've started it up.

By kittens Go To PostEhhh, I've seen enough of the campaign. I want more MP info!Yup, at least I've read enough about campaign. If the game is large in scale like they say I'll be happy. I hope I have the self-control to go dark on campaign news. I'm always happy to see more multiplayer maps though!
I'd far rather play the slow older Halos than the clusterfuck of wasted talent that is Destiny's PvP.
What'd really kick ass, and seems more feasible these days with a-sync MP, is MechCommander 3 on PC linking directly to MechAssault 3 on Xbone, the Commander overseeing the battlefield on PC, the Pilots shooting stuff on Xbone: the living embodiment of the MC1 intro. Or just release it all as one title on both.
Call me, Phil.
