Halo is dad?
Halo is dad.
Well, that's true.
Well, that's true.

Well, that's true.
Well, that's true.
While that's true, I could still tolerate it. Shame that Halo 4 still couldn't stay at a consistent frame rate the last half of the campaign. Every other game was running pretty smoothly throughout.
Sunset Overdrive is a good'n as Poodle mentioned.
Assassin's Creed IV was the most fun I was having with the series since the original (purchased the AC bundle for MCC). And I haven't played personally, but I've heard nothing but good things about the Resident Evil Remaster. And of course there's that OTHER Bungie game...
Virtual Console is pretty damn nice though. I only bought Earthbound because I never played it, but they recently released Metroid Prime Trilogy too. Super Metroid, Golden Sun and the original NES Zeldas are catching my eye as of late though, haha.

I honestly can't believe this was even considered in early builds of Halo 5. It is like the thing everyone joked about when considering ADS for the AR.

The funny part is that doesn't even make sense. Where are the AR's iron sights?
Goddammit, 343, you ruined my hopes and dreams yet a-gain.
Beta being canceled won't actually hurt the launch date. We just ended up with a better way to test some stuff. Also the fan Dedi/P2P "research" is wildly off (not their fault, as you will see). You will fall back to P2P in certain circumstances, but (embarrassingly) the vast majority of times people are seeing that is actually a UI bug and they are in fact on dedis. This is fixed in the next update.
which comes out when?
I thought it was a bit silly to try and base anything off of what the MCC's UI is trying to tell you.
Soon....
Jem was... right about something?
Prepare your rations and assemble in your fallout shelters, truly the end times are nigh!

If it was beyond the ideals being discussed here I'd have hidden till you stopped talking about it.
But I'm not saying a date because I will jinx it.

Not sure if it's been posted but I saw a rumor that the reason the beta is cancelled is because 343 is contracting a private testing company to do the testing. There's also rumors that that is covered under an NDA, so I'll refrain from posting the company name mentioned, but that actually seems like great news. A wider audience of testing, less people complaining if bugs are found. And hopefully a quicker turnaround and high quality feedback meaning Halo MCC working better, sooner.
Any thoughts on updating maps and gametypes to their end of life (end of sustain efforts) settings?
I'm generally thinking of all the Halo 3 maps (weapon spawns, placements, forge objects added to The Pit, et al).
okay im just tired of people shitting on the game thats all

Don't worry. We'll go from shitting on this game to shitting on Halo 5 <3
The cycle continues.
It's a beautiful thing, that.
It's an odd thing the Halo community. It's basically a bunch of hipsters who hate anything new and love all the old stuff.
Come on 343i and MS. You can't announce that Halo Miniatures based game, but not announce a Halo Wars 2.
What's wrong with you?

Smart move
Jinx is no joke
Remember when everyone thought Reach was the worst game ever?
I'm still mostly playing Halo on oXbox and 360. The transition actually gets pretty easy once you're used to it. First time going 60->30 in like-for-like game is extremely jarring though, yeah.
I still think that
I wouldn't recommend getting rid of it but that's mainly because I don't think you should ever get rid of old games/consoles in case you ever want to go back and play them. If you don't really have a decent collection though... ehhhhh.
the pit really needs the updated player spawn positions more than any other map
spawning in the rooms above the bases just kills team slayer
Really? Is that why a lot of people in the community are saying or have said that Halo 5 was the best game they played since CE, 2, 3 etc. And that it was better than Reach or 4? People have rightful reasons to criticize a lot of the newer games or the MCC.
One word

I personally had way more fun with the base game of Reach than Halo 4. H4 just had too much fluff in the way and too little content/features imo (the game isn't half bad under all of that though).

Huh, I'm not a tabletop gamer at all, but I'd give this a whirl. 343 is really upping their merchandise.

Towards the end of its life, I was still playing Reach regularly, but it was like exclusively BTB/Invasion, SWAT or Action Sack.
BTB and Invasion on Reach was and is still pretty damn fun, imo. It was certainly better than Halo 4's sadly and I remember Halo 3's being good, but ever since starting to play it again with MCC it's definitely not as good as I recall, mostly due to the slot machine/projectile shots of the BR.

Reach SWAT was all I played towards the end. Kina sad I never unlocked my Gungnir helmet...
Well, 5 seems to be breaking the trend thankfully. However it was definitely the case with a lot of the previous games.

Reach SWAT was some of the best SWAT. I can't wait to play some in H5. I really hope there's an acheivemnet/medal for headshotting an enemy while clambering. lol
All of Halo 3 needs to be updated. Weapon spawn locations are incorrect. There are still
potential
Et al.

Think about whether it was because they were new or whether or not there were certain design decisions that caused the reactions.

Well I think it's kind of sad you never got to experience the joys of Halo Ball, Dino Blasters and Hockey.
I'm not saying the fact that it was new was what caused them to dislike it. I'm just commenting on a trend. Halo 2 had some hate slung at it and now it's one of the most beloved of the series, 3 had hate. I remember when Reach was completely hated. In the eyes of the Internet it was the worst thing of all time. It's seen as pretty good now.
Anyway, it's only a semi serious joke. It's a pretty common stereotype that every new Halo is hated and suddenly all the old ones are loved.

So matches just run mysteriously smoother (lack of anti-magnetism in CE for instance) when that "UI bug" is triggered? Not buying it.

My biggest beef with Halo 3 was a serious lack of Blood Gulch/Coag, Sidewinder and base movement speed. Avalanche turned into a happy place for me.
Edit: properties of the Hogs and Wraiths also meant no good way to bring back Cat & Mouse custom games like Halo 2. Strangely enough, H2A Forge let me re-create the game very nicely with civilian hogs. Unfortunately, MCC leaves me "all by mmyselllllllllllfffff"....

I feel sorry for anyone who actually believes this...
Halo 3 BTB CTF is still way more fun than it
or anything else
Invasion is GOAT. SWAT was fun times. Action Sack was just a ball of fun. Speaking of balls, Grifball was so much fun in Reach (despite the Grav Hammer being a bit meh) and Blargball was hilarious.
Reach's launch maps were pretty decent
Oddbase Swordball
Grav Hammer will return dammit!

There's a medal called "Cliffhanger" that I got for nading a guy mid clamber. Wonder if it applies to all kills

Yeah, I never truly gave Reach its due.

I would have not agreed with you normally, but I have just finished a match where it said the host was xxxxx, but he quit the match after less than 3 minutes.
