Yo honestly, I HATE to bring this up every few weeks. But the no split screen man. fml.
When Halo 4 first came out, every other weekend for about 3 months we literally had 8-16 player lan parties with like even the most CASUAL gamers (like I'm talking, call of duty is their only shooter other than MAYBE Halo 3). It'd be a blast. I'd dong like woah, but even then everyone would be having a great time. Host would order pizza, have some coca-colas and sprites and stuff, and we'd play every gametype imaginable. It was just good ol' clean fun in a different person's home or apartment every weekend.
This weekend we will have one last "LAN" party for old time's sake on MCC, and it's seriously bumming me out. :(
I sincerely hope they're able to optimize the engine and bring back 2 player split screen at the very least by Halo 6. I already talked about the loss of the experience of playing Halo with your siblings. Heck, revise the physics engine to allow consistent physics with 30 fps and drop the framerate in split screen in Halo 6. Otherwise, it truly is the end of an era.
Halo 5 is still GOAT Halo in gameplay department tho

By zoabs Go To PostYo honestly, I HATE to bring this up every few weeks. But the no split screen man. fml.It kinda sucks, I agree, but my split screen Halo days ended with Halo 3 after I moved out of the dorm. Aside from occasional split screen games since then, I've pretty much only played with friends online. It's a little bit sad that couch co-op is fading away, but its lack of inclusion in Halo 5 is just the latest casualty in an overall trend in multiplayer gaming. I can't really blame them for not designing their game around it. That era is ending with or without Halo.

But that's becoming rarer and rarer as I get older. It's more common to just group up online now, even if split screen were a possibility.
RE: splitscreen
Def a bummer, thats how I fell in love with halo. Lanning 2v2's in college and plenty of XBC. We had our townhouse loaded with xboxes, it was a party every weekend. So I hate that kids these days don't have that awesome social experience.
Now that I'm 33 and play games alone 100% of the time, it doesn't effect me, but a part of halo is for sure lost.

Okay guys, I may try to stream me playing through SoS, anyone interested? I'm playing Heroic, but after playing for like 4 hours I need a break. Gonna try to get it going in like 10 minutes.

By kittens Go To Postwhat's SoS?
Swords of Sanghelios?
I was somewhat hopeful that the DF thread over at the other place would be positive and avoid devolving into a resolution dick swinging contest...
but alas, I was wrong.
but alas, I was wrong.
By Ram Go To PostSwords of Sanghelios?Ohhhh, that makes sense. I was thinking it was a mode or gametype or something.
In slightly related news: I really want to play video games right now, but with Halo 5 right around the corner I can't muster genuine interest in other games. *le sigh* Just a few more days.
By Granadier Go To PostI was somewhat hopeful that the DF thread over at the other place would be positive and avoid devolving into a resolution dick swinging contest...Apparently a game from 2007 that is sub 720p and has horrible polygon and models is impressive but halo 5 isn't.
but alas, I was wrong.
BUT AT LEAST HALO 3 HAS PRETTY LIGHT EFFECTS!
Dude PS2 has been running 60fps for 15 years. This is nothing new. Not impressed with this low IQ game. Looks like Halo 4.

Made the mistake of trying to play MGO3 again. If host leaves, all game progress is lost and lobby is kicked. Not fun.
Something that makes a game more fun to play?
No not that. Lets moan about AF and jaggies, maybe 12x zoom in on a screenshot and not worry about having fun at all.
Ppl just enjoy arguing I guess, no matter how silly it may be.

I think people tend to remember Halo 3's graphics through the lens of the theater screenshot mode or the 1080p ultra AA'd MCC version, as opposed to the 30fps 1152.3254353x640 that it actually launched in.
That said I fricken love Halo 3's art, (Halo 3 + Reach) / 2 is my ideal artstyle for Halo.
By Granadier Go To PostAll I know is that my bingo is filling up and it's not even launch day yet.If this is as good as those of us who played and know the knows of Halo you're gonna need a few bingo cards.
Just a heads up guys, system wide button mapping was just implemented in the latest NXOE so you can finally play Halo exactly how you want too!

By Deception Go To PostJust a heads up guys, system wide button mapping was just implemented in the latest NXOE so you can finally play Halo exactly how you want too!Honestly, how complicated could it have possibly been to implement this in the game if it can work at the OS level and not break the game? I don't understand.
Really annoyed at the moment, had my LCE all lined up with exactly the right amount in there, when all of sudden, my mother (she borrows my card without asking) decided to borrow $80 and totally fuck me over.
So now they've cancelled by LCE and given it to someone else, really pissed at the moment.
PS. in Australia we don't get out LCE until the 27th :(

So is anyone here buying any of the Official Halo clothing from Musterbrands?
Think this is Nice enough to wear on Campus without it being super nerdy, and still being stylish. What do you guys think?

I'll be streaming with Mixmisterchief and Blue Ninja tonight as soon as the patch is live. We'll diving into multiplayer, and co-op campaign. :)
Live streaming on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2t...9Dw-RAsrpplfOA - via this channel. Will be a 60 FPS stream too, so nice and delicious. :)

Honestly I'm the kind of guy who's against wearing gaming related clothing (unless you're dressed ultra casual), but this is the kind of thing which looks REALLY nice, and only proper Halo fans would recognise, so yeah go for it!

Happy to say I'll have my XB1 and Halo 5 on launch day if Amazon hits their launch day delivery! Not sure about the exact time on Tuesday, but I'll be on throughout the entire week.
How long have you been a member of SLAENT? How long have you lurked?
Joined this week, once the Waypoint Companies started up.
How old are you? What country or state are you posting from? (Optional)
26 - 'Murica (Texas)
How long have you been a Halo fan? Have you played all the games?
Been a big fan since the first game. 4 player split screen and system link LAN parties with friends. Halo 2 was huge for me. Played on LIVE every day after school. My interest sort of waned when 3 hit, but I bought it and played online for a bit. Same with 4. Unfortunately I don't have my old gamertag anymore, so I'm starting fresh.
Just now getting my XB1, so I didn't get a chance to play MCC aside from trying it out at my friend's place. I'll pick up Reach and ODST (probably through MCC) before the year is out, since I never played either of those.
What mode do you spend most of your time in?
MP for sure. But I really want to beat the campaign first.
Random BIO
Workaholic. Still find time to play a wide variety of games.
Long time WoW player. I've taken a lot of breaks this year, and will continue doing so to play a lot of Halo. I finally bit the bullet and purchased an XB1 for the game, along with a few others I've been wanting to play. Big on racing games, shooters and action/adventure games. So that's what you'll see me playing most of the time.

By link1201 Go To PostI am hoping it's early. I would love to watch this before I have to go to work.
Even if the patch goes live within the next hour, we might not see much footage, as the only copies out there are review copies. There's set "time periods" tomorrow for the press to get on so there's a bigger population so actual games can be played.
By tonight we should have some solid stuff arena footage. Maybe some Warzone too.
Is there a specific time the embargo lifts on the mp stuff? I'd like to see the menus at least and maybe a few walkthroughs.
