This game is destroying me but I've never played a FPS before. Trial by fire but it is really pretty.

It's a toggle and a hold depending on how you use it. When it's on a stick, if you quickly click the stick in, it'll toggle, but if you hold the stick in it'll go to a hold that will unscope when you unclick. I can only assume the same functionality applies to triggers. Hold the trigger down to make it act as a hold, tap it to make it a toggle.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
This blew my mind. Welcome to the fold.
It's not.
Very very few QTE's

Don't worry, QTEs and canned kill animations literally appear only in the first five minutes of the game. I have no idea what they were thinking either.

Spoilers(nothing specific, but just in case someone is actually that sensitive about it):
I think there's literally only one other QTE in the entire game.
Dat downgrade.
Facial, hell yes. She's bucktoothed now for god's sake.
yeah this is extremely annoying, why have drop-in when you start us 3v4 and never add a 4tg for us.

IMO the Halo 3 model for Cortana is the best.
You fucking better be right.

Bungie would have never stooped this low.

Please No. It's perfect.
So I finished forward unto dawn chapter 1 makes sense now!

No it is not. It's repetitive. BTB needs some variation.

Seriously, there's only one more QTE in the entire game... I honestly have no idea why they bothered.

It's the DVD version of Forward Unto Dawn, the prequel movie/webseries.
I like it. It kinda makes her more realistic, ironically.
Sounds pretty sweet!

What do you have against bucktoothed characters?
About 3 or 4 missions in, campaign is very vanilla. Really lacking anything special here. 343's presentation of the story is much better than Bungie's but there's practically no story to present. Run and push this button, Chief. Run and destroy this generator, Chief. Come on, 343.

They never appealed to me to be honest, kind of prefer third person as a perspective but playing it with a friend makes it tolerable.
I'm getting this impression as well. It's nice to look at and assets are good, but the design of the objectives is just awful.
It's like they took Library from Halo 1 and made it into a game. Hopping around the planet and pressing various buttons with cutscenes playing in between is not how you present a story.
Fuck you, her teeth are quirky and cute :3
Meh, Slayer with 16 players has never been its bright spot. From Halo 2 to Reach it was best suited for things like 2-flag, Neutral Bomb, Assault, and 1-flag/bomb. With Assault obviously gone, it's still down to just 2 flag, but that would provide more entertainment than general slayer. A map like Meltdown looks perfectly suited for CTF, it even has a decent sized base (something Bungie somewhat ignored for their BTB maps in Halo 3 and Reach). Vortex, Meltdown, Exile, Longbow, and Ragnarok (complete with its vehicle overgrowth) in rotation.
It's closest to Halo 2 if anything.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or facetious but that is one of the biggest exaggerations I've read this year. Play the library again

Just played some multiplayer.
THIS ******* GAME. First impressions are that they improved on my favorite competitive shooter much more than I anticipated. The visuals are striking. The sound is superb. Explosions and gunfire feel so intense now. And the new abilities and guns are retarded cool! Been mostly on a media blackout with this game, so I don't even know what is happening around me some of the time... and I love it.
Haven't even touched the campaign yet, that is reserved for my long weekend.

I meant in terms of objectives, not level design. Read my post again.
Its sp3000. What do you expect?

I guess it comes down to taste. I hate ctf. Nothing like parking the mech near the turret facing the hill to my left and that corridor looking path on my right on ragnarok

Yeah me too. I just found out there were mechs in the game this past monday, lol
She reminds me of the horrible job Bioware did of facial scanning Yvonne for Miranda in ME2
So you find enjoyment out of sitting in one spot in a ridiculously overpowered vehicle and just spawn camping people?

That's not all I do! I can usually only take out about 8 or so before they all come after me! lol
I had a game earlier where the whole other team was chasing me even after I died and respawned!
I'm pretty bad at the game let me enjoy what I do best
Nope, the first episode is Departure. The Challenge is bugged apparently, so far no one has been able to unlock it, i think.
Personally, not even close. CE was unique in tone compared to the rest of the series and I think that's what made it great. Pillar of Autumn and her crew are completely fucked, ship goes down, life pod you're in has no survivors...it's bleak. From that point in a story it makes regrouping with the remaining soldiers and rescuing the Captain these incredibly heroic story and gameplay moments. Combined with sprawling environments and strange architecture to explore, it's a great experience. The problem with the numbered Halo games after that is the lack of tension. Linking up with Marines on a joint op never feels the same (closest is maybe H2 with the defense of Earth but we're there for fucking 20 minutes). Killing the Covenant is never personal again, it's just business as usual. The entire series is getting to the point of business as usual. This by the motions intergalactic romp of convoy missions and hold X objectives that repeat constantly. The Prometheans just aren't enough to fix what's wrong here.
