Just played as the 1 in a 7v1 game haha. All my teammates left, but I decided to stay. Decided to play as carefully as possible with DMR crouching all the time. Only went -9 in the end, but it was a lot of fun actually. Got message after saying I'm da real MVP lol. Would recommend

Tried doing the shield bump on Keyes today for the first time...
I probably got outside the map once out of every 20 tries, but could never seem to walk/jump the right way to make it to the bridge room... always either fell off the map to my death, or fell back through the ceiling into the start of the level again. Oi.

Dem phat beats.
First shot did not hit - so 4 pistol shots to get shield down - one more for headshot.
Also getting shot from elsewhere, probably not conclusive...
Chance of this being a complete shambles: 128.73%
Oh wait, I thought this was an online thing?
Yeah. At first it makes up for hilarious moments, when everything explodes, but then you get frustrated. Had this happening to me with the Flood Carrier forms. They are the worst, when they set up a chain reaction.
Me too. 343i changed some skulls already, so lets hope they change them again and make it a little easier.

MCC thoughts so far
Started out changing appearances for all the games. Weird that you can't choose individual armor pieces.
Started out with Halo 4 since it was the first one that loaded. Took me a minute to adjust to the control scheme, but Halo 4 looks like a straight-up next gen title in 1080p60. Dawn played fine, and the zero-gravity setpiece would actually be a really fun encounter if the enemies played well. After I beat Dawn I got the untracked build, won't upload error. Only bug I've had so far.
So, CE in 1080p60 is unbelievably awesome. Played through PoA and Halo on Heroic with Universal Bump & Jump and tore through enemies like it was nobody's business. CE is definitely my sweet spot.
I got up to Delta Halo on Normal in the H2A campaign and the anniversary aesthetic is really great. Love Halo Theme Scorpion Mix. It feels good, don't get me wrong, but I'm not a huge fan of the actual encounters - they feel cheaper in terms of difficulty. Battle Rifle looks and feels like it should though, imo. Didn't realize sword cancels weren't as effective in the Vista port, so that was disappointing. I'm getting a shitload of achievements because of how many easter eggs I remember, though. Feels good.
Protip: with Sputnik on, hitting Carrier Forms with the Sword actually launches them away, which can be used to clear up crowds, especially on Oracle.
Hoping to try H2AMP tonight.

So is season one just gonna be H2A? Pretty sad if so.
Online and lan will both give out HCS points. Top 8(or 16, not sure) teams ranked based on HCS points will go to Season 1 Championships (this would be like National Championships from the MLG days or Global Championships)
So it is an online thing (at least partially)?
Chance of being a shambles back up to 128.73%.
I believe LAN events will give more HCS points then online. You'd probably have to win every online event as a team to compete with the teams winning LAN events.
If you look at the situation in the video you can see that he does not getting hit from that dude in front of him, at least that's what I am seeing.

Was checking my Account activity for my email/xbox/Hotmail. I've gotten several unsuccessful password enter attempts all within several days in November.
Gotten access attempts from IP addresses in La Paz, Mexico and Sao Goncalo, Brazil, also from Logan, near Brisbane Australia. I do have pretty stringent security set up, including a second email, but I don't know, seems somehow my email is out there and some people all over the world randomly trying to break into account.
Edit: Spain, China, Argentina, Georgia as well. What's funny is, they only started after I bought my Xbox One. Before that, I don't have any account activity like that.

Yeah, I have a bunch of those as well.
India, Belarus, China, Indonesia, Mexico etc.
Default thrusters alone make it look better than all the previous Halos.

I forget what we did exactly. A few mission restarts, and then staying close to each other with constant checks of "are you seeing [thing] now? Good." No way that ever happened in the original, this collection creates some weird glitches.Frustrating is the least I could say about it. It never got sorted out though. So I had my brother hide in the first tunnel while I finished the level alone..haha

dat martyrdom perk, 343 just doesn't fuck get it man...they really killed Halo
Calm down, it's just a joke.
And I'm being serious. I genuinely think 5 looks really, really good. I'm getting tired of the whole slow paced classic Halo. The MCC is great (when it works) and I think what they've done with H2A is perfect. It's really fun yet also means they can try something new for Halo with 5.
Also just because I generally have the dissenting opinion doesn't mean I'm trying to flame bait. It's just an unfortunate side effect. I'm not going to stop discussing Halo just because the majority disagree with me.

I was disappointed this wasn't in H2A, but it NEEDS to be in Halo 5.

Sorry I was talking about massive post volumes, should have made that clear. I still remember your infamous walls of text haha
We'll be releasing the handbook and point distribution shortly but yes, winning a LAN event will give out substantially more points than an online event, depending on the size of the LAN event.

You's gonna release a working game anytime soon? I'd be more interested in that personally.
I'm not good enough for tournaments
Will it be possible to register a LAN event for the HCS? Like, if I wanted to make an HCS event through my University's gaming club, would that be possible?
I'm really liking the sound of this. It's like the Road to EVO.
I agree. I'm also tired of the slow placed Halo. This is something I don't get either. People like to say you have classic Halo as if we are swimming in tons of perfect classic experiences. We have CE, and Halo 2 and probably Halo 3. Of these games, each game has gotten slower. Plus the fans of CE disliked 2 and 3. The fans of Halo 2 disliked Halo 3. The fans of Halo 3 disliked Reach etc.
With Halo 5 we're going to have as many mainline Halo multiplayer games with radical departure gameplay as we do classic. That's right, CE/2/3 with equal starts, no sprint gameplay vs Reach/4/5 with sprint, some form of abilities or drastic changes like perks, loadouts, movement.
The one outlier is indeed Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer but it plays/looks like Halo 4 without flinch and sprint, but has "weapon sets", killcams etc. Plus we only have 6 maps, which truth be told I'm already tired of despite playing a handful of times only. And because it was so broken at launch, it will never recover to the point it could have been. Not saying this is you Jem, but something I've observed anecdotally as well. You have people who's first Halo game was Halo 3, and then they liked Reach and Halo 4 and then say, I'm tired of classic Halo, when it's like they've never really played it.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Just wanted to remind everyone that tonight is the MCC Throwdown.
Heading back to a classic this week! If you would like to play in this week's match send me a PM with your GT (if I don't have it already) so I can add you to the list.
If you want to know what the MCC Throwdown is all about then take peek at this.
Only about 2 hours until we start. I'll have the lobby open around 930pm EST. See you on the battlefield!

Even after a decade (and more) no game has managed Halo CE campaign's 30 second of (combat) fun.
Pure unadulterated satisfaction.
The more I keep playing, the less and less likely it's looking at me giving Halo 5 any sort of praise.

When I say classic Halo, I'm not really referring to anything specific. However from a core gameplay experience I don't think Reach and 4 were that radical a departure. BR (or DMR) duels still played out pretty similarly; shoot, strafe, grenade, melee.
Default thrusters adds a whole new spin to the formula IMO. Movement suddenly becomes much more important during a firefight. Whereas with more classic Halo, movement only really plays a big role in the set up to a fight. Combine thrusters with sprinting and clamber and you have a massive amount of new options for moving about the map, both during firefights and not. The possibilities created by combining these new abilities look fantastic. It's the biggest departure from the "classic" Halo formula so far and I think it looks great.
Also, my first real game was CE, I bought an OG Xbox for Halo 2 then a 360 for Halo 3. I've played a lot of Halo
After playing through all 4 campaigns on legendary, halo 3, for me, is hands down the best halo campaign and one of the best fps campaigns I've played to date. The only game that comes close or could be better is half life 2 and its episodes.
Man, 7 years later and 7 years older, halo 3's campaign is so beautiful, epic, emotional, and pretty much perfect. The dialogue comes full circle (we're it so easy gave me goosebumps) and the slight bit of humanity you get from the chief blows me away (head resting).
Sorry for the story. I'll make a RTTP soon.
Yes. There will be certain criteria the tournament organizer would have to meet but it will be open to application in that way.

Yeah to heck with classic Halo.
CE really needs the spawn times and spawns fixed since no one can ever capture the flag due to the quick respawns back near the flag.
That and the flag returns instantly just by stepping on it.

Oh that's right, I can't clown on Tashi because he works for 343 now. I forgot.
Smh this community was fun at one stage.
We are working on a fix to bring fun back to this forum. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

you cant say anything bad bout 343, you know that.
Lol are you kidding me. For the past few years this community was just about ragging on 343. You being among the worst.
If anything, If you defend 343 you will be more ostracized by this community.
