Oh sorry. What crazy shit yall wanna see in Halo 5?
Which is a shame because the Wii U isn't a bad console. The touchpad can be used for some fun stuff and there are a decent amount of good to great games. Though they really should just bundle the GameCube controller remake with it. It's a superior controller.

While the Wii U might not be a "bad" console, Nintendo's marketing for it was/is absolutely shit.

I would love to do this. Sounds cool to me.

A thought...
Could the big ultimate patch be taking a long time because they are going back and using the xbox originals instead of the PC ports? Is it also tied to the console update?

I doubt it. I think it has to do with the newly structured matchmaking built into Live itself, that wasn't too stable at the time of release. At least, that's what I read a while ago.
lol they've really got everything I've been wanting (and a couple things I don't but hey toggles) except for wall running and wall jumping. Ever since the Ground Pound was announced I've been thinking about all the cool stuff you could do. Slide being used to dodge vehicles wouldn't be half bad but it'd need to be balanced so you can't just keep dodging everything with no problem.
This is very true. Hell I never even bothered getting a Wii because it seemed dumb (though it did have some good games). Nintendo has to step up their game.
Highly highly unlikely imo

Anybody wanna play objective customs on MCC tonight around 5 PT?
i recorded 2 clips on hardline and now MCC clips wont show up on the site
There'd be no reason to use the Xbox original versions.
For Halo 1, it'd actually be worse for multiplayer. Halo 2 PC is basically the Xbox code anyway. Halo 2 has actually never run natively on any hardware that isn't X86.

Lol. Groundpounding a tank is definitely awesome sounding, but I'm hoping the use the increased mobility options to really expand the BTB maps vertically; there's a tendency for them to be somewhat flat.
Strange. I know you're not alone, at least:

AFAIK, the only way right now is to turn off Game DVR entirely, which turns off the ability to say "Xbox, Record That".
There's been numerous requests to add an option to disable just Autorecorded clips. Or better yet, games should offer that toggle individually in their own menus

Or even better, developers could just stop putting autorecord features in their games all together. If something cool happens I can record it myself, I don't need a game deciding what's cool for me.
Madden is the worst. Every scoring play records a clip. It's to the point where I just start broadcasting whenever I play it so the game doesn't record anything for me.
What's an actual example of a vertical BTB map? Halo 4 probably had some of the most extreme elevation changes and surface area outside things like Sidewinder/Avalanche.
Graveyard, Spire, that one snow map in the DLC that was for Invasion... actually all of these maps were for invasion.

Headlong was a pretty vertical BTB map. It's also my favorite BTB map, so...

Let's not be crazy.. Ground Pounds are no where near as problematic as PP's in BTB.
That'd be amazing honestly.

Oh so MCC is still broken and having issues.

I depends on what the ground pound actually does, god forbid they add EMP to it or make it one-hit kill on vehicles. It seems like vehicle play has historically been not understood very well by the developers...

I love that people tend to vote for CES in the BTB playlist. Idk why it is, but that game has some of the best BTB. Maybe it's the maps, or maybe it's the frequency of CE noobs that think AR is a weapon

People are starting to realize that CE is just the best experience in MCC.

Aww come on! It would be pretty difficult to hit moving vehicles and you would have to be high enough to pound them anyway. Plasma grenades and plasma pistol spawns made vehicles pretty much useless. It probably would require a solid direct hit to kill a warthog or ghost.

Confession: just played Waterworks for the first time in my life. What an awesome map. I wish it wasn't H2C though.
Also, I'm finding BTB matches really fast now, like under a minute fast. Haven't tried in a while and I'm pleasantly surprised.

The first time?
That used to be my friends and my 'go to' map to screw around on. Freaking fantastic. But yeah, shame we aren't getting a remastered version. I'd prefer it over Relic.

Why not cause a concussion effect when GP makes direct contact with vehicles instead of inflicting damage?

Yeah, it's weird. I played a lot of H2 with friends and even had LAN parties, but for whatever reason I don't recall ever having played that one. Go figure. And yes, I prefer it to Relic as well, at least for symmetric game types
Hey! Wouldn't it be great if when you run out of ammo, you can aim your gun like a throwing knife and get a one a hit kill with it. I mean come on, a Spartan could probably throw his gun like a bullet.
Hey! What if there was an enemy above the ledge we want to clamber on, and we could perform an assassination or one hit kill on them before we pull ourselves up?
C'mon, old Halo is boring dudes. I want to evolve the series. Bring it into the 21st century. Guardian's is such a boring name too. We need something cutting edge like Halo: Interslice or something.

Halo has always been in the 21st century. Get with the times man.
Winning said game by hunting the map for the enemy Elite player who appeared to be standing still, because he was actually performing the dummy glitch to try to steal your flag faster? Even better!

Man, I would but the wife is about to get home and we have to watch Better Call Saul. Another time
Direct Ground Pound destroying a Ghost or Banshee seems fine, Warthog should drop player shields and flip it over.
Just need to be able to shoot the player out of the sky as a Gunner on a Hog for it to be balanced.
EDIT: @Flandy, I think Singleplayer works well enough, just don't count on unlocking achievements reliably, and probably best to play through levels to completion, not sure if Checkpoints are still getting eaten or not.
