I hate how late these tournaments run in the UK.
I really want to be able to stay up and watch it but I really can't justify it with work tomorrow :(

So is this it? Our new home? Or is someone cooking something up that's closer to what NeoGAF was? I have no idea how discord works, got the app today. If someone could add me to the NeoGAF/HaloGAF channels, that'd be much appreciated!
Anyway, this seems like a pretty cool place. Still need to get used to the structure and everything though. Loved the simplicity of Gaming and OT tbh.
Fingers crossed the dust settles soon and we can focus on being a great, supportive, and informed community again.

By Navidson REC Go To PostSo is this it? Our new home? Or is someone cooking something up that's closer to what NeoGAF was?I've heard that some of the former mods are collaborating on a successor forum, but only time will really tell.
So is that Halo 3 playlist still a thing in Halo 5? Haven't played it in a while and thinking about reinstalling it.
I'm curious to see if the site will be open to all or selective like NeoGAF

Yeah and its pretty good, Nok and co (and co, and co, and me!) are working on new maps also
*although tbh Ive been through 3 games of helping Bungie/343 with remakes playlists, and I'm disappointed everytime*
By nillapuddin Go To PostYeah and its pretty good, Nok and co (and co, and co, and me!) are working on new maps alsoIs it now a permanent playlist? I don't have a copy of Halo 5 on me at the moment but would like to try it out eventually.

By Ragnarok Flames Go To Postwe need Hotdog cannon gif statCareful what you wish for...
It's weird I was searching if an AusGAF/Slaent OT was present yet and uncovered a post of mine here on HaloEnt from 2 years ago.
"I/we can get games and can play customs but it's not consistent and you're right it's not the experience promised to us. Not by a long shot. Sure they worked hard and have made large strides to correct things but it's still a hit and miss affair with crippling quitters, no customs JiP, party chat/lobby/search crashes and shit even the upload a recorded video doesn't even always get every video you record (even when it says clip uploaded). I've posted a number of times I feel the X1 has to shoulder a large chunk of the blame, we had the same party chat/crashes with Destiny or Killer Instinct solo and in medium sized parties too. It wasn't just MCC matchmaking unfortunately. Destiny was a shit show in Aus when it launched. It's a greatly enjoyable experience now being a consistent and reliable game for months post launch.
At the end of the day I'm waiting to see what the Windows 10 X1 dashboard and MCC bring. I'm past it for now as I know I'll drop MCC multiplayer for H5 and my son/I will occasionally replay campaigns. Campaigns have been solid and H2A was executed with love and care but coop being P2P was a waste of time, again. Considering what could have been with MCC they could have sold in the region of 10mil by now IMO. Had matchmaking let you choose what to play, had it all been dedis for multiplayer/coop, and that glossed over marketing version from the stage presentation, it would have moved a shit-ton more X1s and friends of friends would have returned to play with the viral marketing word of mouth Halo used to be famous for. In reality MCC has fizzled into the background in lieu of H5 being the redemption.
Thank fuck H5 is all dedis all the time in all modes. Thank fuck it's looking and playing so great. Azure, Xbox One platform/OS and H5 really need to align their features and reliability into a consistent gaming platform that I don't cross my fingers during every game session with my friends. MCC is currently that walk on egg-shells feeling amongst our party chat. Destiny does not have that feeling anymore and I hope H5 never even has that in the back of our minds when loading it up to play that gorgeous gameplay."
It took Halo 5 a long time to get near that level of just load up and play, by the time it did PvP was dead for me as my friends moved on. PvE like Firefight kept me coming back in droves. Fuck I hope H6 has Destiny levels of PvE content. H2-era PvP me is crying in the corner tho.
"Destiny levels of PvE"
I really wouldn't like it if Halo had any gametypes that played like that honestly.
Instead of looking at Destiny, do shit that Vermintide, Left 4 Dead, Syndicate or Raiders does. Short, Episodic co-op campaigns that encourage replayability.

Sure I'll take that too! More PvE with solid connections and party chat mates to play with and/or matchmaking is all a go for me. I wish they expanded more SPOPS PvE as a game service over WZ. I really enjoyed WZ and WZ FF but an evolved co-op set of campaign missions with skull modifiers and scoreboards for replayability would have flowed on nicely from MCC's interface.
I just enjoy the setting up of my character, loading up a fireteam with mates or searching a matchmaking to get a PvE team when solo and knowing I'm far more often than not going to have a solid experience in game. Adding story released monthly or bi-monthly and I certainly pay a season pass or similar to be a part of that. Destiny PvE or L4D methods.
By Silky Go To Post"Destiny levels of PvE"Yeah, introducing dynamic elements like L4D would be nice, and a much better way to increase replayability (compared to what Destiny does) Something in the style of Destiny could still be ok, but not because that PvE model is all that great (IMO) but because the gameplay of Halo is just better and thus would make it more fun.

But really, from a level design perspective, the main inspiration for Halo 6 Campaign should be past Halo games, especially Halo CE and Halo 3. A good, classic Halo campaign, coupled with an actual Firefight mode, would be enough to satisfy my PvE needs.
Yo this is the discord for halogaf that was made a long time ago. Already had a bunch of OGs in it

Seems Roy is retiring from Halo and maybe Lunchbox as well. Huke will surely switch to COD so this new rostermania coming up is gonna be real interesting. I'm thinking Sayian will go to NV.

I'm thinking Sayian will go to NV.Yeah it a gonna be pretty unfortunate for Halo. I don't think there's as big of an influx of new, younger players next season to fill the void
Yeah the pro/semi playerbase is pretty small for Halo in general. I kinda want to see the game become a GwG for a month, which could help.

By Silky Go To PostI saw Halo 5 in a Family Dollar for like $8It's still full price on the Xbox store...
By Ukumio Go To PostIs Mix still around, be nice to get a cover image. I heard he quitI WAS SUMMONED
By Mix Go To PostI WAS SUMMONEDHe's alive?
By jem Go To PostHe's alive?Like MCC support, it takes him a while.
By Ragnarok Flames Go To PostLike MCC support, it takes him a while.HAHAHAHAHA RAG IS AS FUNNY AS EVER
By Mix Go To PostHAHAHAHAHA RAG IS AS FUNNY AS EVER<3 missed you too buddy
By Ukumio Go To PostHEY!I'm always creeping around. TBH, the HaloGAF threads just filled up with a bunch of new people and I really don't play Halo right now. I'm excited about the MCC fix next year, and I'll be here in full force for Halo 6, but Halo 5 isn't doing anything for me anymore and Destiny, PUBG, Fortnite, and a bunch of other stuff is just more exciting.
What took you so long :P
By a zoojoo Go To Posthey guys, what's going on ;)Oh hai Ian.
I'm a bit skeptical about this ResetEra thing. I can't see how they're going to do the whole registration thing without it being a massive fuck up with people waiting months to rejoin.
This place has been a home to us twice now. I don't see any reason to move the community to a new place again, especially since it'll be a membership exclusive forum.
By Mix Go To PostThis place has been a home to us twice now. I don't see any reason to move the community to a new place again, especially since it'll be a membership exclusive forum.Yeah, I like it here.
Also, like I said it'll probably take ages for everyone to get accepted back into ResetEra so the community will almost certainly be split for a while.
I'm not committing to Resetera now or anything, but exclusive membership is part of the appeal imo. We'll see how it shakes out. I appreciate Slaent for being a home to the community when we got exiled, but I've got problems with it, like no subscriptions and some other issues with features and layout.

GAF refugees need a place to settle together.
Speaking of registering, I forgot that I no longer have the paid email I used to sign up for Gaf. Ugh I'm fucked if ResetEra uses the same system.

By reilo Go To PostWas starting to quote every individual post but that’d be redundant so here goes a short update of what to expect in the future:
- Revamped search (see a page or two back for a GIF) — this is currently a blocker for the rest as I need to wrap up the search results UI
- Who quoted me along with quote highlighting
- Gaming sub forum
In no order maybe all at once:
- Darkness theme with more subdued colors
- UX improvements eg forums in navigation, tool tips
Sometime later because it requires some heavy architecture investments for stable performance:
- Thread subscriptions
- Refresh button
Sometime after that:
- Progressive Web App implementations
- Desktop notifications on new PMs
Some weeks it’ll feel like progress is slow and most likely it is because I also have a full time job, so I please ask for a little bit of patience but improvements will be coming and your feedback is always taken into account!

Not really sure I entirely see the point though considering the MCC is getting a 4k update now...
By nillapuddin Go To Posthttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bkfeJcPHMbYThat's a pretty significant difference. Kinda steals one of the main selling points of the MCC though.

By zooj Go To PostThat's a pretty significant difference. Kinda steals one of the main selling points of the MCC though.The version of Halo 3 in the MCC will be 60 fps, though. And honestly, after playing the games in 60 frames, it's pretty tough for me to go back to 30. Like, I've recently been playing the Reach campaign again at the 30 frames just really make that game feel sluggish in a way that the MCC and Halo 5 don't. Hopefully that gets a proper remaster at some point.
