Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo
- Thread starter Fracas
- Start date
Didn't the BR in Halo 5 MP teaser trailer lack scopes and everything? That weapon looks like the weapon from the trailer.
Was talking about Skyline from Halo 4. Has that perfect dark city at night skybox. Forge would have been amazing in H2A with that as the backdrop.
Seems like the giant DEFEND CAPTURE PROTECT KILL ESCORT text is here to stay though. Don't know why we can't turn it off for ourselves though. I don't need that on screen.
Edit: Flag juggling is back though!

Yes, if you can borrow an account from someone who bought the digital download, then download it to your system. Or you could copy the game on an external HDD. I don't know if you can copy pre-loads? You'd have to know someone who has the DD.

Indeed it did. It had no scope and 72 rounds.
halo does not need weapon customization beyond like skins.
Between this and the guy in the Eurogamer vid talking about the Laptop Gun, I'm really jonesing for that game now. Can some GAF folks work on some PD themed maps and gametypes... PUHLEAASSSEEE?
Between this, the MCC in general and the reveal of Majora's Mask yesterday for the 3DS I feel like I reliving the early 2000's of gaming all over again!
I think we can be pretty sure there won't be weapon customization. At least not in Arena.
Doesn't mean it is customizable. It might be just a BR variant that functions as AR or SAW (Frankie claimed the armor is mode-specific, so the weapon might be such as well).
Though given that we've seen both AR and SMG in the Halo 5 vidoc/trailer thing... eh, i reckon the 72 rounds was a render mistake.
God-tier FPS.

Supposedly should hear more about Perfect Dark next year. I swear I read somewhere that Phil Spencer had talked to Ken Lobb about making sure it gets the attention it needs.

I remember how hype I was for Perfect Dark Zero back in the day
I still cry myself to sleep about that sometimes

At least zombie mode was kinda okay
Honestly, my N64 might as well have that game super glued in it. So much time spent on the firing ranges.
At my university orientation, someone brought an N64 and Perfect Dark and plugged it into the TV in the common room of the building they housed us in for the night. I wound up not sleeping that night, it was a mix of Perfect Dark and late night wiffle ball. Good times.
I'm right there with you. That game might be the most crushing disappointment of my life.
Same. Decent FPS game, but really no where near up to par to bear the "Perfect Dark" name.
Still have night-terrors about the multi with the bizarre armor popping off you like confetti and obviously that coked-up psychotic announcer.
It would just spin up an Azure instance when you start a custom.
You'll be able to 'cheat' the system by just going into matchmaking with a full game party.. might as well let customs spin up a dedi instance. A good compromise would be enforcing a minimum (4 or 8 players, whatever the smallest playlist config is)
edit: for once i'm not the one talking about perfect dark
I made Area 52 for Halo 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leRMTFyp47c

Looks like all XxX forge blocks have this "rocky" feel to it instead of actually being large metal pallets, bad move imo

Broadcasting. Just customs. We've invited Phil Spencer.

What do you think is the reason no dedicated servers for customs? Just curious. I have my own theories.

It might be different from map to map but I did not finish that video of that guy going over the forge stuff.
It was killing me to see him not know anything about forge.

I played the hell out of that game. I couldn't believe it when Halo CE blew it out of the water just a year later.
I smelled that turd from a mile away.
$$$
Probably cost. And the fact that all 4 games have player-host mode in their code still.
Or maybe their Azure spinup stuff is easier to strap into the matchmaking backend than the custom game interface.
At this point I'm still waiting for confirmation if you can save Halo 3/4/2A films permanently or not..

Is this lazy post meant to symbolize developer laziness? I dunno man, it's probably more complicated than that.
This is important indeed, Theather mode was a great option in those Halo, and the Xbox one DVR doesnt compare to this.

btw guys, do we already know about the different nameplates and their requirements?
That's badass!
I'm trying to think what PD maps would work best closer to the Halo default settings...
Temple maybe?
Skedar?
It's hard to come up with good ones that didn't have a ton of doors, elevators, etc. to open. I mean, are those reasonably doable with the new H2A forge options?
I'm not sure, but isn't that how Titanfall does it, spinning up a new server even for private matches?
Has anyone seen (or played, some of you have review copies) any matchmade games on dedicated servers? Any word on what performance is like?
No, it's meant to say "cost." Azure slices cost money.

I believe you cannot copy preloads, as I downloaded the preload for MCC, got a new external, tried to transfer it to the external and it said it was unable to do so.

Looks like it saves to the Xbox Game DVR, but has the functionality of traditional Theater that we've been accustomed to since Halo 3.

It doesn't needto be in halo at all. It doesn't bring anything to the table. And makes weapon recognition essentially useless.
Thats a 2 hour video !!!!!
Well Im interested to see this and how it works with the DVR.
Ehh, I actually quite enjoy weapon customisation...
However I do think it should be kept far, far away from competitive 4v4 arena.
I have it timestamped so the link goes RIGHT to the part with him using the Theater mode...
:-D
Just saw it

Was going to make this same point myself. Titanfall instantiates an Azure server for every lobby created, even private matches.
If it's possible for MM, it should be possible for customs. The only way my mind can see an issue is if this causes some problem with LAN functionality in the spaghetti mess of code from the earlier Halo games.

Welp, now I need popcap to add grinding to PvZ.I haven't even played that much and when I was playing PvZ I kept expecting to bounce whenever I jumped on something
If you have an X1 and don't have Sunset, you need to take a look at your decision making!

Aw man, no dedicated servers for custom games? That's a real bummer.

Then play a game where you need a dress up barbie gun.
Halo should limit the customization to skins ala gears of war. Not pander to the cod bf crowd. It literally adds nothing of substance.

Why did people ever think this was a thing? It was never mentioned or hinted at afaik.

Some spanish people reporting they only subbed cinematics and left ingame dialog like it is, no subs at all and no translation.
If this is true, damm. Talk about lazy...

Try this (worked for me and others):
-Disable auto update and reboot from the system settings.
-Enable them again and shut down console completely (hold the power button for 5 seconds).
-Restart and go into power save mode (instant on).
Should load this way and I was at 78% in like 5 minutes.

Does anyone know what the voice command is to launch this game using Kinect? Is it going to be "Xbox, go to Halo" or will it be "Xbox, go to Halo Master Chief Collection?"

So the update isn't 20gb?
