It's not just K/B + M, the gunplay doesn't have the same feel, which could be tied to the game being designed inherently for the Xbox controller, but it's not right. The movement and gunplay just doesn't flow as well as it does on Xbox. I would be optimistic if Halo CEA was Halo CE MP on XBL on 360, but having to buy a new console, for a version of the game I'm not terribly interested in playing, no thanks.

Halo |OT 20| It really does feel like Halo

"Help me."
Anybody have ideas on how to Halo-ify my current avatar?
It's even worse than you think...

I'm guessing it is a stylistic choice, perhaps to make him sound like an in-universe AI.
I don't like it at all though.. he sounds like is a knock-off, not the real thing.

You have to admit, that'd be a pretty cool cameo appearance if they did that.
I'd assume that is it. They also have that easter egg in Halo 4 on the Infinity where you can hear his voice saying War Games is offline or something.
I want to know how to do this.

I almost forgot about his Halo 4 easter egg, but I was thinking a construct appearance and not just a disembodied voice.

Perfection.
Conceded on making Halo shaped like Halo, but couldn't drop the lights?
Perfection?
It's half-baked.

Wired Fo' Life.
Might as well get the connection you pay for by going wired for all your connected devices.
I got a discount pack of three from Amazon and it worked WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY better than I expected. But then I redid my basement and forgot about the circuit...

This model. That's a good deal IMO.
Alternative Option
50ft Cat6 cable and a bit of work/nails and you will get great connection
Also wall plates are an option too

I may need to look into doing that. How's the connection quality?

No kidding. The leap in quality when I went to wired was godly. Only way to play, in my book.
hehe
To be fair, I can see why they added lights. Bungie's textures did have sporadic white dots here and there.

That said, there's something a bit off about the sense of scale in the Blur image - those giant ocular pieces (along with the other 6-7 circular thrusters?) that are seemingly made up of extremely smooth metal.
It's one of those art design cues I guess (not that I'm an expert on it). The rest of the Halo texture has that look of being welded together from a number of tiny plates that reflect/absorb the sunlight differently ever so slightly so you end up with different shades - makes the ring seem big.
The giant circular pieces just seem a bit out of place.

Finally finished downloading the MCC, can't wait till the 11th to play it. Hope the "content patch" comes out atleast 24 hours before the release.
$30?!? Yes, please! The cheapest decent one I'd seen before then was $60, so this is great. Thanks!

Exactly, do whatever you need to do to get a Wired Connection. Move your online competitive gaming setup closest to your modem if needed. It's worth it. Also, scrubs can't shit on your connection when you can drop a quality speedtest and ping on em', they just got shit on and are looking for excuses.

EDIT: Just got a message from my ISP the other day letting me know that they bumped my internet speed for free, i was at about 14 down, 4 up, hopefully this'll put a dent in that 65 GB download.

Yeah, with the original texture it appears appropriately huge. The bumps along the outside in CEA gave the opposite impression.
Power of the "Xbox One Cloud" don't mean shit if you are willing to concede defeat and go wireless. You gotta be a connection tryhard too, hell even MLG and Tsquared said to do so.

you should be solid, man.
Dual pistols pre-patch in Halo 2 was legit PvP meta. You could melt players so fast with those it was ridiculous.

I'm jealous of that speed, but I could never go with a data cap, no matter how large. I'll stick with my 10/1 with no limits for seventy bucks a month.
Hmmm guess I was playing pre-patch then. Can we have the patch but keep that? It was so fun

Rolling around like a John Woo movie, headshot with no shields, fire twice as fast as a Carbine...fuck the patch nerfing them man ;_;

Just play Halo CE if you want a badass Pistol.
BTW, if you have 3 or more upload, you should be streaming. You can hit 2K bitrate at 720p streaming with 3 upload easy. Get some sort of capture device, or OBS on PC and stream. HaloGAF will prolly watch.
Data Caps have to be the worst, I don't like TWC but they haven't screwed me on internet yet.
I have a channel and I probably will start streaming around November/December with the MCC and Guilty Gear Xrd.

Lol that patch upset me. I use to camp the bottom of ivory tower with dual pistols and wreck face.
The real crime was nerfing the SMG/PR combo.

I wonder how it would've played if Bungie didn't mess with the damage of each individual weapon when dual wielded, but increased the recoil. Making dual H3 Magnums a 7sk made no got damn sense..

Oh shit I totally forgot about that occassional sniper ally invisible elite! I was planning on playing H2 this weekend so I probably woulda run into it by sheer accident, but glad I know for sure now. Thanks
Holy awesome information batman, thanks!
The kill/time ratio would never work in Halo's sense for dual wielding. There just isn't enough skill applicable to Thumbsticks for Halo to utilize without compromising movement (what Shadowrun does).
Halo 2 overdid the aim assist mechanics across the board, then had to rebalance dual wielding to match up with it. There is a finer balance between player execution/skill, leading to high lethality/ratio that Halo 2 does not achieve. It probably could achieve this, but it would alienate a vast majority of the player base if it did so with weapon recoil, projectile based weaponry, etc.
