I shall be the last survivor....and
I wish I looked this badass in halo 5. Lmao
The full visors in halo 5 are all really akward looking. Nothing bad assert screams from them. Just weird curves.

All the more satisfying to watch us die :O
Yeah. Each of the chest armors is a different torso piece, each of the shoulders are a different arm piece and each helmet variant is a different helmet. Some decorative pieces allow for the hip bags and for the tactical pads and stuff. I'm trying to give each player a different voice as well. All of Noble Team as well as Master Chief, Buck and Johnson all have their proper voices.
I've also been trying out some OBS and some different settings to see if I can atleast consistently capture 30FPS and that's not going too well. If anyone has any recommendations for software or anything that'd be awesome.
Operation: GASPING RING (eww)
Starring Jun, Fata1moose, FATstronaut and mastrbiggy.
The team is advancing on an ADVENT train car that has some precious cargo on it. Jun sets up some overwatch while the GAF team sets up on a nearby overpass. Fata1moose provides cover for FATs, who ends up getting shot and smacked with a stun baton. Jun murders three people in cold blood with his laserbeam eyes. Other than FATs, everyone comes out unscathed. FATs is gravely injured and will be in the medbay for some 20 days or so.
Jun's sniper rifle has been renamed "VigilantEye" because that's a thing you can do. It now also has its own custom paint job.
If you have an NVIDIA card, Strider reminded me of the fact that NVIDIA GeForce Experience (which is default installed with drivers) has it's own recording capabilities with ShadowPlay.
You can manually record, or set it to record the last X minutes on button press. Good quality too!

Is it resource-intensive?
God this is so rad.What video card are you using? If it's been a while you might need to upgrade it.
Also blamite;
I've also gone back and corrected everyone's visor colors.
Makes me really miss Bungie's nearly-flawless Halo aesthetic. I wonder how awesome Halo 5 could look if 343 had kept that style going (343's stuff still often looks pretty nice, but it's just not an aesthetic that grabs me as hard as Bungie's did).ATOMICJORGE

No it's not actually Shadowplay is great for PC gameplays, I use it on my own videos
Really low performance hit so should be good to go on most rigs
I always forget it exists and it's actually fantastic really.
God this is so rad.
Yeah I prefer the style and substance of Bungie's aesthetic, something more solid and heroic in a way.
I'm trying the manual recording option and it's not working for me just yet, but it might be an issue with hotkeys or something.
The GeForce Experience, though, Jesus Christ. Running XCOM 2 through it is like opening my eyes for the first time. 60FPS with pretty damn high settings.

So I just saw these and this is fucking amazing. I lost it at the "scientists" comments lol.
"FOR THE COMPANY!"
"AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!"
"Meet me in the middle"
"HOW THE FUCK HAVE ONLY THREE OF US GONE FOR MONUMENT!? HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN EVERY TIME, EVEN AFTER WE DISCUSS IT BEFORE THE GAME STARTS!? ARE YOU TRYING TO LOSE ON PURPOSE!? WTF!?!?!?!?!"
Not dead though. All about that precious K/D, obviously.
Are you running XCOM in Borderless Window?
I had that set up in Overwatch and it didn't work. I changed OW to full screen. There's a tick box for recording desktop which is supposed to allow you to record Borderless but it didn't work for me.

It was going on fullscreen but the hotkeys still aren't working. They won't record my desktop either.
Maybe it's because I've got two monitors? Oh well, I'm gonna' install the drivers and restart my computer. I'll try one more time before bed.
Space marine helmet YES!!
Anyone ever join a WZ Turbo game in progress and not have your energy recharge? I was still able to use all my loadout weapons, but the splinter grenade perk didn't work and I couldn't use any power weapons of vehicles. Pretty annoying. Is this a known thing? I don't think I've ever had it happen in regular Warzone.

If you ever feel like having a really weird, bad time, try going straight from H5 to Reach BC.
Well, at least if it's a consistent thing it should be relatively simple to fix?

I was only crazy when I was still in school. My best friend actually made that GT suggestion, so I went with it.
You also went away from Premium Quality, so there's that.
Yea shadow play is pretty great. Recording with shadow play then uploading to streamable gave me higher quality clips than anything else I tried

So, I live 600miles away from my momma. So I figured I'd get to spend all day Sunday watching Halo tourneys...
It just hit me, that my this will be my wife's first Mother's Day as a mom. I almost made a fatal mistake.
No halo for me Sunday. Truplaya is dad.

There's a guy who stole that from me, active on off topic.
Even has the same picture as I did.

That's because H5 armor is meh. There are a couple of good designs, but most are bad. Plus there are a lot of repeats where they just change some colors and call it new armor. Also only having body and helm is another disappointing decision.
Personally, I'd rather have less designs with more customization options (aka Reach). Quality over quantity.
I love my Reach character it's better than anything in H5.

It's on Fathom/Assault I think..
But yea I do love that gun and wish it appeared a little more often. It doesn't have a place in competitive gametypes but I'd love it on a couple BTB maps or on a couple more gametype/maps in a Social Arena playlist (If we ever get one).

I think it'd be a decent mix in terms of armor design if we got:
Halo 5's...
- Spartan proportions for male / female spartans (give male MP spartans butts though pls). Locke has Reach-tier proportions, but everyone in Reach looks like an action figure. Considering how built they're supposed to be, the thigh gap / tiny legs in general is bizarre.
- Halo 5's colors / palette placement (e.g. some armors having different patterns / decals on them, mix of gradients, dark and light versions of secondary colors as opposed to barely having any of the secondary color in Reach, etc.)
- Clean texture quality, mostly simple armor finishes compared to how grainy and beat-up everything in Reach was
- Undersuits (albeit with more color options). They didn't show up as much depending on the armor in Reach, but imo they looked ridiculous most of the time - like rubbery turtlenecks just grafted over the armor. Speaking of which...
- The "amount" of armor on the Halo 5 Spartans. I know a lot of people aren't a fan, but considering the undersuit actually has a design beyond "space sweater" in Halo 5 compared to Reach, and the fact that the undersuit is borderline as resilient as the armor itself at this point, I prefer having some skimpier armor designs. Not to mention the suit shape lends itself to having a mix of lighter armors and ones that cover the entire body (such as Mark IV).
- The "dimorphism" between the suits of armor is handled way better in 5 than Reach or 4, imo. In Reach the pieces were more or less identical regardless of gender which fit the narrative of Spartan-IIIs being expendable, but in Halo 4 male very much felt like the "default" with the pieces just being stretched or warped to fit the female Spartan model. In 5 it feels like some of the armors were specifically designed with the female Spartan as the base rather than the male - with the most obvious piece of evidence being the suits tailor-made for Kelly, Linda, Tanaka and Vale.
Reach's...
- Level of detail. Some of H5G's go just a little too detailed / overdesigned, and while Reach isn't exempt from it, the art style / modular armor hid it better.
- Customization options in terms of different shoulderpads, etc. I'm conflicted on allowing asymmetrical armor designs like in Reach / 3, but ultimately I think a baseline option suite consisting of Helmet / Thrusters / Arms / Body / Legs would work fine.
- Potential for variations on existing armors and/or attachments. The various textures on Halo 5's armor variations are a good substitute, but it'd be cool if, say, vanilla Hellcat had its own pattern, and then Hellcat Onslaught had its own pattern as well as a bandolier or something. That, or an independent toggle that would allow you a single add-on (backpack, extra knife, etc).
- Helmet proportions. Outside of Mark VI (which I felt was a little too... spherical? not-boxy?) in Reach, most of the helmets tended to be, y'know, head-shaped and fit clearly with the armor as well as generally having better visor designs (imo). There are cool designs in H5G that are diluted by having bizarre helmet proportions - Rogue, Vector, Viper being huge compared to the other helmets, etc.
I'm not in either particular camp when it comes to Bungie armor designs versus 343 armor designs, but Halo 5 has some really cool suits compared to 4 and I really don't see the design philosophies of the Reach / etc prior Spartans being some paragon of the Spartan art style.
