It's important to have the correct mindset about campaign v multiplayer. That being that a true Halo game is a campaign experience first and foremost.
I would have been perfectly fine with the CE remake having firefight or some other PvE mode as its "multiplayer" offering for this reason, but it was never necessary.
Halo CE/1 had multiplayer thrown in the game in the last few months of development for the same reason any multiplayer was in a console game at the time, it was just expected to be there. The campaign WAS the game, and the multiplayer was extra. Now, it did turn out to be really good and pretty addicting, but it's important to understand that this existed in mostly a party game atmosphere. Yes, there were comp tournaments, but they are not representative of the average Halo CE multiplayer session.
Halo 2, or really rather Xbox Live, changed this, and set this unrealistic standard of Halo multiplayer being the face of the series. It was never meant to last, but it stuck, even as CoD 4 and onwards drained the popularity 3 years later.

tl;dr
Regardless of what you think about Campaign Evolved's overall quality, a PVE-only game was sorely needed at this point to correct this wrongdoing and artificial ballooning of Halo's multiplayer to be its core identity.

It's this the famous iconic glitch that always kill the player.


By the way, yesterday someone from my friendlist didn't want me to close emergency holes, is this a new meta was he trying to farm kills? I had to revive him several times.

Maybe they were farming kills yes. But if the objective is to kill Locust then it makes the objective take longer because you have to wait for the Reaver to come and drop them in.

Halo 2 had a crazy development

>Bungie crunching and working from morning till midnight sleeping in the office
>Adding a second protagonist, switching to completely matchmade multiplayer, stencil shadows, the Scarab,
>The original Halo 2 is using all 64MB of RAM just to do 480i. It's not even actually able to do true 480p because there wasn't any RAM left for full resolution frame buffers.
>Halo 2 has an excellent art style and character models, but due to development issues, it ended up losing stencil shadows, which made the game look uglier
>Stencil shadows just didn’t work outside. There is no way to put the stencil lights into retail Halo 2 without ripping out the entire renderer and rewriting it
>Self-illumination was arguably more primitive than Halo CE, and overall the rendering tech was there, but the crunch development of Halo 2's final phases undoubtedly is the result of why a lot of Halo 2 looks a little muddy or bland at times. The tech is there, but it feels like it never got a chance to fully shine or get its final layer of polish
>160 pages worth of cinematics and story written by Joe Staten
>Earth Ark, the last level, was cut and became Halo 3
>Planned release in time for Holiday 2003, Ed Fries gave Bungie an extra year to get their shit together
>Halo 2 campaign was cobbled together in effectively six-nine months

Aside from adding a lame Sentinel Beam weapon, having ODSTs drop supplies as if it were a RE game and including what sounds like a cheesy new cutscene, the mod actually looks pretty good.

There's no financial incentive to keep Infinite around, is hard to expand upon, has little public, bad reputation, you have next to no ways to monetize them because you can't inject P2W mechanics on it. I kind of like some of the things they were working on, SOME (like after 11 years of bikeshedding they finally designed two decent precision and power weapons that aren't Bungie rehashes) but that doesn't carry you that far.

It's better balanced than the OG game and technically more skillfully complex with a higher ceiling, and a lot more content, but for all that, the OG game just feels significantly more Halo and has a much better campaign.

I think a Siege-only title could work if they include environments and enemies/bosses from previous games. Versus isn't fun because it feels like Gnasher is the only way to go.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they're considering making Siege free and adding more microT elements to it

That's saying something because the Lancer is more viable in E Day than it ever has been. I agree it's still a gnasher-spam meta regardless.

>Promethean grenade feels more distinct than the spike grenade did in 3
>Non-shooting sections were more varied than in other games. The fact there's less "drive warthog while the ai shoots because the ai's too dumb to drive" sections than in other Halo games is nice
>AI was definitely dumber than in other games, especially the vehicle AI
>Prometheans were generally too tanky, but felt more distinct than brutes in 2/3, who were tanky AND generic
>Cortana's personality change is fine. She's been alone for 4 years and is literally dying of overthinking shit so her being less confident than usual is justified
>"I thought we had a truce with the covenant" line is fine. Saying "elites" rather than covenant would have made more sense, but not everyone would have played 2/3
>Chief talking more is fine. Character-wise he feels like CE Chief but talkier

I'm pretty disappointed with the Gears of War: E-Day Halloween event. The PvP mode can be fun, thanks to the random weapon spawns and the whole "trick" mechanic, but once a team gets their hands on the Jack-O-Canon, the match is pretty much over. That said, I'm no PvP expert, so I can't say for sure how balanced it is.
The real dealbreaker for me, though, is the Boogeyman boss fight. What a shit boss. I was already a little disappointed when he spawned and I realized he was just a Vraahk with a different skin and weapons, but I was willing to let that slide.
Then the actual fight started, and I realized his AI was completely broken. I can barely even tell what moves he's supposed to have beyond occasionally firing the Torque Bow and kicking players for melee damage. I've seen him go through the animations for shooting metal spikes, only for nothing to come out or hit anything.
To make matters worse, he spends about 80% of the fight targeting a squad on the other side of the map and just wandering around them. So you're either stuck going on a Scooby-Doo chase across the map or sitting around waiting for the other squad to finish him off. It's a frustrating, underwhelming fight that really drags down the entire event.

Yeah, PvP is as crap as gears 4 and gears 5.

IMHO for the coalition, tryhards and esports fags:
let it go, xbox is dead, bring back gears to it greatness.

I am not afraid of hammerbust
I am not afraid of retro lancer
I am not afraid of sawed-off
I am not afraid of enforcer nor lighting nades

What killed gears PvP was esports fags and their try hard "tunnelenning" and their gnasher and pellets

YES I KNOW GNASHER MEANS GEARS OF WAR.

BUT also lancer with that chainsaw sucktion, and people will give me the reason, if not. People should play gears 1 and gears 3 multiplayer.
Also gears 2 multiplayer was amazing witn ragdoll and smoke nades.

to sum up:

I miss having someting more than lancer and gnasher as load out weapons.

I have every weapon is nerfed thourgh updates except gnasher fatigue.

E-day dropped the ball in so many aspects when it could have been a massive success if they played their cards right but instead reloaded was released to generate hype but wasnt a MCC style release of the OG trilogy on all platforms for people to understand the story. Instead it was just Gears 1 remastered uh remastered and the graphics werent changed so they 10 years outdated so it still looked like shit and despite releasing on PS5 they pulled E-days PS5 release last minute and then further shot themselves in the foot by making the game day 1 xbox gamepass so they lost a ton of sales.

Barring actual gameplay they also could have rebooted the franchise because they wont continue the gears 5 plotline or even soft rebooted it halo reach style to give us delta squad with baird and cole and make adam fenix appear once or twice so he can invent the lancer and fit it into the game better (this shit gets invented day 2 by COG soldiers on the field in E-day for some reason) and give us several enemies that marcus and dom somehow havent seen until 14 years into the war in gears 1/2 such as therons and kantus but instead we got a weak story and the cast of characters barely feels there and you dont really care for them much (IE shin fucking dying the exact same chapter hes introduced in)

As for gameplay?
The horde siege AI is buggy, theres a ton of server issues, missing longtime features and weapons such as the boltok, hammer of dawn, chainsaw duels, meatshields, grenade tags makes PvE less interesting and varied and the PvP lacks lots of classic gamemodes such as execution, kill the leader, and not being able to select starting weapons is fucking gay they need to stop doing this only gnasher faggots dont want selectable starting weapons and it makes gameplay less varied also 6 fucking maps is a joke.

Tie between Warzone and Execution. Warzone to start out/warm up for a few rounds, then really lock in with Execution. Great with Bots too. I don't really care for Gears' Horde mode, I think Firefight in Halo is better. Better movement/freedom, where as you're too boxed in with Gears' style of gameplay, so it ends up feeling too crowded/clunky, dunno.
I don't like any of the other modes. Team Deathmatch in particular cheapens the Gears of War experience for me. Warzone/Execution sets itself apart from other arena/shooter games in that your actions during the match have more presence and meaning. Being able to respawn in regular TDM just kills that feeling/atmosphere for me. Gears should be played with one life per round imo.

Likewise, I think Halo with limited lives sucks. Couldn't stand those modes inInfinite especially when they forced it on you early on in matchmaking. I also hate long respawn timers in Halo, Goddamn it, 343. Just had to make Halo less fun for whatever reason.

>HORDE SIEGE
Fixed an issue where other squads closing E-Holes could prevent players from completing the “Close E-Holes” Secondary Objective
Fixed an issue causing everyone to be kicked from a Horde server if one player fails to load in

>VERSUS
In Ranked, fixed an issue causing matches to dissolve 1 minute after a player disconnected and didn’t rejoin (instead of 2 minutes)
Fixed additional areas on Versus maps where the Demolition bomb could become inaccessible to players once dropped
Fixed an issue causing the “Killjoy” ribbon to be incorrectly awarded when destroying enemy equipment

>KNOWN ISSUES
We’re aware of an exploit in Versus that allows players to see through Smoke Grenades. We are working on a hotfix. We have taken enforcement action against users playing with this exploit and others (i.e. aimbots).
We’re aware and investigating reports that some players are still freezing or crashing during long play sessions.

>HALLOWEEN EVENT
Halloween arrives in E-Day. Play limited time modes and missions to earn rewards.
Don your pumpkin head in Versus Trick-or-Treat and battle for the Jack-o-Cannon as each team vies for special weapons (and tricks) hidden within pumpkins scattered throughout the map.
Battle the Boogeyman and his gang of glowing gourd goons in Horde Siege.

Halo 5 and Halo Infinite players are also surprisingly well adjusted.
Honestly, I think it's Halo 2 players that cause the most problems and are the biggest troublemakers. But they're also the biggest posers because they don't even play their own game. The only ones playing Halo 2 right now are all on Lockout and Warlock playing Fiesta 24/7.

They couldn't have picked a worse studio to give halo to. All this time we've been fighting 343 to un-CODify Halo, and then you just go and give it to COD. On the bright side, it can't get any worse since Halo is already Call of Duty. So, we'll just be getting more of the same Halo that 343 has given us, just more polished and complete (hopefully) on release.

It's going to be an Order of Restoration novel with humans allied with the Covenant for dumb reasons while the regular humans are trying to uncover the conspiracy, i could tell from years ago that was something the studio was slowly encroaching towards. Disgruntled humans becoming sympathetic towards Covenant loyalists who see them as living keycards to activate Forerunner tech.

It was confirmed by a dev that all of that had no lore whatsoever so they only reason they canonized that image is because that's the only Endless-related content they had at all ready and since they were being forced to close shop, they were also forced to present whatever they had ready as farewell hastily canonized gifts to the community.

The only reason the contents of that image are canon is because they had nothing else to canonize and the final receipt for a lore drop had come or else.

Lazy fucks cooked up some bullshit and presented it as hard work. No wonder they were dealt a big fat emergency lethal injection.

>>586061046
You're obviously trolling because you have critically low self esteem, but if you were far away, you could sprint without any real consequence. Halo 4 was better by slowing you down if you got hit - you were better off returning fire whilst moving backwards rather than continuing to run straight. Sprint didn't work in any of their games and they knew it. That's why they kept changing it. They changed how sprint worked and changed the geometry of the maps to accommodate it. Would have been so much easier to just not have it.

The Chomper occupies a rather questionable position within the plant kingdom's military establishment. Its entire combat philosophy appears to revolve around approaching an opponent and swallowing them whole, a strategy that leaves little room for tactical sophistication. While its ability to eliminate enemies at close range is certainly effective, one cannot help but question the wisdom of deploying a creature whose primary contribution to a firefight is attempting to eat someone. Its vulnerability during the swallowing process further complicates matters, turning what should be a straightforward elimination into an extended period of unnecessary exposure. Nevertheless, the Chomper continues to serve on the front lines, presumably because the plants have yet to establish a formal recruitment standard.

that way you retain the ability to shoot while moving at top speed, you get to use a higher max speed and it's more immersive because a spartan wouldn't need to stop firing just due to speeding up
that is if corporate mandates a need for locking top speed behind some button press in the first place

This is the real benefit of decomps/modders taking over. Godspeed, bot devs. Can't wait to play against bots natively on android, on my retro device. 343 was so focused on keeping sprint in the game when this was the real feature they should have introduced in 4. Too bad they waited until Infinite. I hope modders will flesh them out and let them use vehicles and stuff.
>>
Activision should just use Halo 3 movement/mechanics as a base, then add sandbox items to it from other games (like Reach's grenade launcher, or Halo 2's dual-wielable needlers), and make the graphics prettier. They should keep Halo 3's art style but just make the graphics better. They don't need to go full on realism. I wouldn't even mind if they kept the 360-look such as the low poly models, but add better shadows/lighting, more detailed bump maps, etc. That way they can add other stuff like more players and bigger maps. I think Hugegrass might be too much for a vanilla Halo (it's fine as a mod), but it should be more open than Infinite's BTB maps which feel cramped. 64v64 should be fine as long as the map funnels players across it evenly and has enough vehicles for everyone so you aren't just dog-piling chokepoints. This is also where bots come in handy because you might not have enough players 2 or 3 years down the line.
>>
Guys, it's Halloween.
>>
>>586102349
Cont.
Combine 8v8 and 16v16 into Squad Battle,
then 32v32 and 64v64 can be the new BTB. Whatever size team depends on the map that gets selected. Honestly they can all fit into BTB, but it's more as an option for players. I think what separates BTB/Heavies from normal playlists is the use of vehicles and power weapons. Larger modes should be more bombastic. Infnite managed to make Big Team Heavies feel great compared to even 3 or Reach. 3 and Reach weren't balanced very well for Heavies, one team basically just rolls over the other team, Reach in particular is really bad for Heavies, basically only one team gets to play while the other team just gets spawnfarmed.

Yeah, Halo is just better with more people. More Warthog variety would go hard tho.
>>
>>586102978
Oh no, it definitely can. You just need to put more power weapons and vehicles on the map for them, and not have everyone crowd around in one area like they do in Reclaimer or Infinite. Longshore in 3 seems more like a 4v4 map, but it works for 16 players. It gets even crazier with the Heavies variant which is surprisingly fun. You just have to make the mode feel good. Add extra flags or territories to capture, stuff like that so you can help disperse players more equally.
>>
>>586103169
>More Warthog variety would go hard tho.
This. Give me a hover hog with a plasma cannon, maybe a slower but armored up hog with a flamethrower with secondary brute shot fire mode, and then a fast warthog with no protection but can turbo charge and ram through ghosts. And also give the ghosts a bunch of variants too.
>>
>>586103431
>You just need to put more power weapons and vehicles on the map for them
Wrong, you absolute buffoon. That's what Reclaimerslop is already doing.
Where are the BR spawns? The Brute Shots? The SMGs? The Plasma Pistols? At best you get people like TheBiscuitBoy who make shitty armories inside each teams' base, but the maps are still barren. You have no reason to go anywhere outside the few hot spots where players might encounter each other.
And there's the vehicles. The fucking vehicles. If you're not driving, you might as well not exist. To get anywhere you must fly or drive. And that's often short lived since vehicles range from vanilla to obscene nonsense that rapes everything on sight.
>>
>>586102349
Dual Needlers looked cool, but it didn't work well as a dual wield weapon at all. They had no synergy with any weapon other than the Needler. I'd rather simply have a good single one.
>>
>>586103431
Meh. Anything higher than 16 players heavily shifts the focus away from actually fighting people and just using power weapons and vehicles. It's already pushing toward that with the old player count.
>>
>>586104369
Like I said, Reclaimer is too much for a vanilla halo experience. My advice for Activision is to look at Halo Infinite's Big Team Heavies and use that kind of balance/variety to improve on base Halo 3. Imo Infinite's maps are a bit cramped for big team modes, but the balance and fun factor are very good. What I like about Reclaimer is the vehicle and weapon variety. I would start at 16v16 or 32v32 and work from there. If we can get to 64v64 then fine, but I think 32v32 might be a better sweet spot and will be easier to balance. Maybe in a future Halo game when 32v32 has already been fleshed out. 16v16 works great in Big Team Heavies and Fiesta, it's why I keep Infinite installed (and for bots). If I could play Halo 3 with Infinite's Heavies balance, that would be top kino. I think 32v32 and 64v64 is doable if they stick to Halo's core principles. (That being design the map around vehicle use, which also means more power weapon use).

Everyone spawns with the BR so don't have to worry about BR spawns. Brute shots are mostly ignored in Halo 3. I would buff them by increasing magazine size and max ammo capacity size. But that's another conversation. I just know that since even 343 can make a fun Big Team Heavies mode with more than 16 players, it means it can be done by an even better team, and scaled up for larger modes.
>>
>>586104523
>heavily shifts the focus away from actually fighting people and just using power weapons and vehicles
That's why I like Heavies. You have more variety. In vanilla Big Team Battle, especially for Infinite, it just feels like a larger 4v4, but more focused on chokepoints. If I want to play an infantry focused mode, I'd rather play 4v4 or something. 8v8 and 12v12 with just more players running around and the occasional warthog or ghost isn't that fun to me. Especially with a sandbox like Halos. I want to use more of that sandbox in the larger modes, which is why I stick to Fiesta and Heavies in Infinite. Normal BTB in Infinite is just too boring/tedious.
>>
>>586104393
Needler would be fine as a dual weapon if it was like its Reach counterpart. Fast, decent tracking and high shield damage. Basically the Halo 2 Plasma Pistol but without the EMP from its later iterations.
>>
>>586104983
>16v16 works great in Big Team Heavies and Fiesta
Meant 12v12
>>
>>586105231
>That's why I like Heavies. You have more variety
No, you don't. The Scorpion is God in heavies. It invalidates all other vehicles and most infantry counterplay. The Gauss Warthog is in a similar boat. Overpowered vehicles (and guns) actually reduce the amount of viable options, ultimately reducing variety.
>>
>>586105231
That's exactly why I dislike heavies. There isn't really any sandbox play, it's just 24/7 explosives. Regular Warthog is useless, smaller vehicles are useless, you don't even bother trying to BR people because you'll just get exploded or sniped.
Large-scale combined arms games always forget to try and make the game as fun on foot as it is in a vehicle.
>>
Also, the issue with Hugegrass is that you have all that space that doesn't get used, but the objectives on the map also force everyone into a single chokepoint with random battles scattered throughout. The map doesn't need to be that big, I think even half the size would be much better, and have multiple objectives on the map, not just a single flag to capture. You can make an objective where there are two or three shield generators protecting a base, and the last generator is at the base. So you have players sprawled out at different areas of the map, then it climaxes into the final stand for the losing team as the approaching team closes in on them. And then you can have your crazy/epic final battle and end the match with the last generator being destroyed. Someone can probably figure out more creative objectives/gameplay than this.

>>
>>586104983
>Brute shots are mostly ignored in Halo 3.
You don't know ball, as expected of an Heaviesfag. The Brute Shot is a great companion weapon to the BR, being able to overwhelm players at mid range, dominate others at melee range and check light to medium vehicles.
Hugegrass is the logical conclusion of what people like you want, and it disgusts me.
>>
>>586105820
>doesn't turn off the battle canon for the duration of the EMP in Halo 3
Nice job.
>>
>>586105489
If you're talking about Halo 3 Heavies, I agree, the sandbox isn't balanced that well for Heavies. But in Infinite Heavies, even the Scorpion isn't all powerful like it is in 3. Hell, you can even snipe the driver out before he even gets to aim at you. Infinite's Heavies balance is the best in the franchise for this mode. I just want the base gameplay mechanics of Halo 3 as the base. The game can be rebalanced.
>>
>>586105824
The Brute Shot is also a fantastic close range weapon, as its boosted melee damage means 1 direct hit and a punch is enough for a kill. I'd prefer if it killed in 3 direct hits like the Concussion Rifle, but whatever.
>>
>>586105942
I'm not defending Halo 3's balance of Heavies. Approach it from Infinite's balance. 3's balance can always be fixed later (I'd nerf the gauss hog too, and buff the prowler, but that's another convo).
>>
>>586106138
I'd completely rework the Prowler. Making its turret either fire a volley of shards like a combination Spiker/Mauler, or fire grenades at a reasonable rate. Either way, its turret's projectiles should have a big physics impulse on impact.
>>
>>586105680
Biggest problem is it's made by a guy both cannot do game design or map design, and is only modding for the clout.
I'll come out of "retirement" and do a large scale 128 player map for Reach if it's decomp ever gets anywhere. My gamemode ideas require Megalo because the bog standard modes do not work for this stuff.
>>
>>586106408
I believe Renaissance supports 64 players, but its Megalo implementation is flawed/incomplete. Although it'd probably work for most use cases, just not my very specific one.
>>
>>586105824
Like I said, Hugegrass has its own problems, but what I like about it is the weapon and vehicle variety. It might be too much for a vanilla experience though, but I don't want to be stuck with just a BR all day. I love the brute shot myself, it's fun tipping over a warthog, but this weapon isn't balanced for Heavies. You run out of ammo for it in no time, and you don't always spawn near it, so you don't go out of your way to look for one, especially when the Splazer or rocket exists. But again, I'm not here to discus Halo 3's balance, I'm saying to use Halo 3 as a base, then balance it like Infinite's Heavies when we start adding more players to the large team modes. You'd basically have to design the map and sandbox for these options. Halo 3 wasn't designed with Big Team Heavies in mind. Some of the maps are even too crowded for 8v8 imo (like Valhalla).
>>
>>586106293
Agree, I wouldn't even mind giving it a buffed Brute shot turret that can bully warthogs which would make it a good counter to the gauss hog. I don't know what Bungie was thinking with the Gauss Hog in 3.
>>
>>586106717
I think that kind of design would work really well in a Rock-Paper-Scissors kind of way. Prowler beats Warthog by flipping it over and disrupting the gunner, Warthog beats infantry by being extremely powerful and mobile, infantry beats Prowler by just shooting the turret guy because he's extremely exposed.
>>
>>586106914
Nice, didn't even think of it being balanced for infantry. The slower projectile speed would also require the gunner to be closer than a gauss hog (or be extra skilled at leading shots), making it better for an infantry sniper or even a few BR users to pop the prowler gunner from a relatively safe distance. And it's not like the prowler gets a free pass on the gauss hog either because it has to attack from closer range. Man, I wish Bungie fleshed out the prowler a bit more. Why did they think the plasma turret was fine, the plasma turret has sucked in basically every game (in the player's hands) until Infinite.
>>
>>586106293
The buffed spiker turret would have been interesting, especially if it had this physics displacement. If it could knock the warthog over, I think it would also work as a good counter to the Gauss Hog. And the reduced projectile speed (compared to the normal warthog turret) would give it more variety. Maybe make it more accurate than the warthog turret too. And maybe less fire rate than the plasma turret.

>>586122312
Reclaimer is an opportunity to play all the crazy modes with hundreds of players. We've had the past two decades to play vanilla Halo. Some of these players have never tried Custom Edition or installed a mod before, so it will take some time before they get lag/empty maps/imbalance fatigue. I say let them have their fun before the corpos shut it all down. I played one match of Hugegrass in Reclaimer then went back to Lockout FFA vanilla Slayer in MCC. It's fine, Reclaimer doesn't have to be for everyone. I'm also not a huge fan of the weird dynamic lighting system they implemented. I hope they change it back or fix the colors in a future update, it looks wrong.
>>
>>586126819
Honestly doesn't happen enough to me to really know. If I'm being approached by anyone other than a BR, I back off and try to kill them with shots. If it's another BR user and I'm close enough to charge, I'll just keep shooting until I'm close enough to melee them. I don't really think about how many shots it takes. If I'm too close and the first shot+melee combo doesn't kill, I just melee again (or die to the exchange). With the BR, I tend to not go for melee kills. Usually I just swap to a full auto weapon if I want to get close. I play a lot of BTB.
>>
>>586127428
I meant even generally for most games. Look how few community hosted vanilla servers TF2 has without at least some opinionated rule changes.

But yeah…
I dislike the centralized nature of matchmaking and like dedicated servers for preservation sake. I like that Reclaimer is devoid of all the DRM and MS dependence of MCC itself but I’m sure if MCC servers ever die that there will be people from there to play normal modes in reclaimer or otherwise

The BR is fine. Assuming Halo 3 balancing, most weapons have a purpose. Modifying the magnum to function more like Reach's(sans scope) and buffing the AR's fire rate a little bit would go a long way toward encouraging the use of those weapons. Buff the SMG's damage too, so it can get more kills per mag than the AR while retaining the same DPS.
