By jem0208 Go To PostH5 is probably be running on a highly modified H4 engine.They've confirmed it's a new engine. They even explicitly state they gutted entire sections of the engine in The Sprint.
They did some work but its not a new engine. A lot of the graphical improvements came from more confined levels, more aggressive garbage management, lower res skyboxes, changes to lighting, water, etc.
There were compromises to make it "prettier".
Edit: Referring to halo 4 here

By Lord of Admirals Go To PostThey've confirmed it's a new engine. They even explicitly state they gutted entire sections of the engine in The Sprint.Just like H2A turned out to be just a heavily modified H4 engine.
They've told us it's a "new engine" with every release then once gdc comes around it's just further modifications in reality. Gutting stuff doesn't mean its a new engine. The opposite actually. If its not an existing code base, there's nothing to gut. Each release has improvements to certain subsystems or assets, but a new engine it is not. There were lots of behaviors, renderings, and other evidence in the beta of modified h4 stuff.
Again, there is literally no other reason not to have custom controls that people have been screaming for for years. If there were a new engine, you wouldn't have the old dependencies and it would be a simple thing to allow.
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostThey also made a new engine for the game.
Halo 4 was Reach with new features bolted onto it. To the point that the Reach assets for Noble Team , the armor effects, etc and so on are still in the game.
Halo 5 is the first brand spankin' new engine made by 343 in house. In these engines there's still the useful battle tested super core base components that still survive, but for the purposes of discussion, Halo 5 (and Destiny) might have like, a pinky finger and forearm from Reach, but the rest is basically new.
Got a D on my Computer Science 2 test. Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo............
Anyway, CLG's gonna win. That's my prediction.

Also engine versioning is really vague anymore. In the old days there was a hard cutoff between engine versions because the hardware from gen to gen would completely change, or in the case of PC new hardware features would come into play.
Nowadays all engines graft new stuff onto them all the time. The hardware has genericized and it's no longer economical to rip everything out and start over every 2 years.

By Bruh Go To PostAlso engine versioning is really vague anymore.

Terms like Alpha and Beta builds are also completely meaningless now as well.

"prototype" or "pitch" became Vertical Slice as well
I hate the term Vertical Slice irrationally

By belushy Go To Post2nd series, yay!So glad we're getting another series. This is some good shit!
This Walshy/Simms duo is the best.

EG gets an advantage for winning through the winners bracket, so they only need to win 1 series while CLG has to win 2.
By Lord of Admirals Go To PostWait can someone explain, why are they doing a second series?You need to lose 2 series to get knocked out.
Until the Grand finals EG had won every series whereas CLG had made a run through the loser's bracket.
Melee in H2a... ugh
Lethul punched a guy that took some damage from a nade, and he had shot like twice, other guy still got the kill.

I feel like two extra maps and maybe the Extraction gametype from Halo 4 would have made H2A very enjoyable to watch. But the same 3 fucking maps constantly, sometimes the same one twice in a row, got really annoying.

I was thinking Ivory Tower and maybe Beaver Creek.

Also halo 5 should have a map flythrough like this.
By NOKYARD Go To PostHe's going to pass out if he sucks his gut in any more.I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that hahaha
By NOKYARD Go To PostHe's going to pass out if he sucks his gut in any more.Towey?
By YouNoMeDawg Go To PostTowey?Yup.
Just played a couple rounds of SWAT for the hell of it. Halo 4 map was selected both times. In this game, the dude with 1 kill left about halfway through and the other dude who quit left when we had 5 kills left to secure the win. Why people quit when the match is about to end is something I'll never understand... Unless he was d/c'd, which is possible.
Hey guys my buddy Kaizen and I are going to be playing in the Halo: CE playlist. I'll be streaming if anyone wants to watch. Should be some good gameplay and I think in 1080p/60fps. Not sure if you will be able to hear me though.
