You'll hear bitching either way. "Not enough changes" or "changes don't work, why fix what isn't broken".

I hope they bring back more of a gritty feeling to the visuals and animation for H6.

No, we copy COD, so next time it will be bright spaceships, terraformed ring structures and space elevators.

agreed. I tried the new breakout and every round the other team nabbed the flag immediately. I preferred the elimination focus instead of the panic flag focus.

Meh, perhaps breakout was just not a good fit for Halo.

edit: For Halo 6, I wonder if they have been able to improve their engine. When I see games like BF1/Gears 4/Infinite Warfare, I'm pretty underwhelmed by Halo 5's look.

The old breakout was fine. The problem, again, are those stupid Tron maps. Everything wrong with MP in this game imo can point to the shitty maps. If BTB population dropped in 5 when its population is consistently one of the highest before (including 4) its because of those shitty maps. If people dont play Breakout, its primarily because of those shitty maps.

They changed breakout and people still dont play it. Only thing they havent changed are those Tron forge maps.

Its real fucking simple, if you rely on Forge for your playlist to have maps and survive, your playlist will fail.

Heres a question, why arent there any forge maps for warzone? They dont wanna put megablock maps on their premiere game type do they? Well then why in the fuck would that be ok for any other playlist? Could you imagine playing warzone on only forge maps? Or slayer on only forge maps? Any playlist you fill with only user created maps will fail, that much i can promise you.

Breakout to me was one of the most fun halo gametypes, but because i hate forge maps, i never play in that playlist anymore. Just like i never touch BTB anymore. If they had breakout on slayer maps, more people would play it. But no, its all forge all the time.

I unlocked all of the things, so avoid me. You probably had me listed as naughty anyway.

Nothing like playing a team of 4 where 1 guy is onyx 2500 and is playing with 3 smurf accounts all below Spartan rank 15 but have kda's over 10. Then after the game talk shit saying we're all trash because we lost to a bunch of guys who just supposedly bought the game.

I would legitimately be disappointed if H6 MP (gameplay system) wasn't near exact replica of where we are now. This is what Halo should be, movement is fast and fluid, the weapon sandbox feels powerful but balanced.

I fully expect forge to be ported over 100%.

IMO its the thing infection needs to take it to another level, Halo 2 being able to push boxes to make makeshift bases was great but took so long that it wasn't worth it too much, but this could help a lot with that
Click to expand...
Yeah, totally. It could be great for Firefight in future Halo games, too.

Edit: No ExWife, I'll submit a request tho.

Yeah, the features need to be maintained for Halo 6, like the CGB, Theater with improvements, Forge with everything we have now, etc.

What a compelling experience Halo 6 would be on day one with everything Halo 5 has now, and more.

Yeah it would be massive. I spent a long time away from this game and I love it now, despite how I feel about certain mechanics.

Halo 6 with great playlists, forge, and a custom game browser at launch? YO

Well guys we can pick up objects now as players thanks to scripts

Commented on Reddit saying he should use this for a base building infection game and it seems like he's going to go for it

Part of the HaloGAFnasium Obstacle Course (TM) is outrunning a teleporter that uses similar scripts to follow you through a hallway, meaning you have to navigate that hallway before it catches you.

It's actually a really clever scripting idea. I was thinking that you could maybe make a player-driven payload or something that you'd have to escort by creating a vehicle that is moved by the player walking around. You could also potentially make an infection gametype where a zombie walks above the arena on an invisible wall while a kill ball follows their position but far below them in the arena where the actual players are.

Okay, it's finished. Final art pass complete.

The only thing here stopping me from thinking this is a dev map is that I recognize Tidal's ground texture. This looks that good.

Just did a 5 player FFA in customs on PC. It played pretty well, a lot of people commited suicide via the water. This map looks so nice in 4k. The Sanghelios pieces are so good.

Dang I can't watch it for some reason. Just loading/buffering continuously.

If you want some people to playtest it message me and I'll be glad to help. I love the look of your maps bro. You are quite creative.

edit: Looks awesome. Can't wait to try it

Looks great!

Also just saw Nok and Nilla's updated Avalanche which also looks amazing. Forge is such a great tool now.

That surprises me, but then I guess people have to learn layouts and stuff.

Looks sick, Sik. Great job. Crazy what you guys can do with forge.
