I'd let Palmer crush my pelvis

 

[dwells]

Really no point in arguing, games not broken. As many others have stated, it has bugs/issues. But broken? Naw.

Four month old game that only recently gained partially functional matchmaking, is missing launch features, has hundreds of bugs including game breaking ones, and still crashes = not broken.

Okay, got it.

I wish Palmer was better written, cause she's attractive AND voiced by the One True Commander. Please 343, make her better :'[

The true movement to get behind is CE Magnum as a legendary weapon in Halo 5.

I'm sure thats coming. It better be

A lot of people seem to be having a much better experience since the update. From what I can tell it's moved from broken to just functional.

What features?

Ehhhhhhhhhh

Really would've liked her to be well written though

It even has explosive rounds!

That sounds like legendary weapon material right?

Only 18% played as Femshep in ME2 and ME3, the one true commander is Mark Meer for most of us

But yeah, her character can't be saved at this point I think. They'll still utilize her for the ONI/Halsey story but many fans have checked out on her character. Just poor writing. I think the fact she wasn't really accepted by fans, is why the development of Locke happened. Palmer was given a huge push in the h4 campaign, she introduces us to war games, she's a main character in Spartan Ops. She got a game dedicated to her, a comic book. But she never took hold. I predicted Halo 5 would be Chief and Palmer as leads. Now it seems like they rebooted and want Locke to take the role Palmer was supposed to.

 

[HTupolev]

Well 1328x1920 is actually higher resolution than 1600x900 or even full 1080p...

I know. I didn't write 1328x1920; I tried to write 1328x1080 but my finger struck a 9 instead of a 0 for one of the digits, resulting in 1328x1980.

Suggestion for a Legendary weapon: The Didact's Hand. Function: Operates on the same technology as a particular Newtonian principle-modifying handheld forearm aperture that you probably haven't heard of.

Translation to gameplay, functions exactly like the DOOM Fist with Spiked Knuckles.

I would personally feel offended and probably shed a tear if the Legendary CE Magnum isn't a thing. The concept of Legendary weapons is awesome in that it welcomes redundancy, fostering creativity in its diversity.

"There was this cool concept we had for the Sword where if you held Smart Scope, it would block bullets, draining energy as you held it. It was overpowered if it had to be the only Sword, so we had to cut it.. Actually jk, we made it into a Legendary weapon."​

Here is something I'd prefer not to have to deal with in Halo at all, ever thanks. A known cheater to my regular party of Halo guys'n'gals since Halo 4, which we've reported and avoided back in the 360 days of Halo 4, once again appears to be right at it cheating throughout MCC P2P games. Really in 2015 we're still dealing with assclowns that cheat to win, repeatedly for years and don't get banned? We've all submitted blocks, reports and even submitted clips to the xbox cheating form service too.

At any rate the usual network manipulation is at work here for the benefit of their team. We literally didn't spawn until or start the game for most of the match. The game before this one they cheated too.

IMO here's an example of why players get so shitty about dedis, especially regional ones. This is two parties of Aussie making up 8 out of 10 players (didn't check if they other 2 randoms are Aussie) and we're still put into a P2P game to get cheated. You've done the job of matching the parties, happy with skill matching for parties (would have liked a legit go at a 31 thanks), found the game quickly, got an objective vote over slayer but it falls down being P2P and allowing cheaters to run rampant in matchmaking.

Please for the love of the sacred rings have H5 ALL or select an Azure DC as well as OPT OUT of P2P fallback at all. I/we literally do NOT want to play Halo on P2P anymore. Throw up a Platinum XBL service and let me lease a VPS thanks, I'll guarantee to fill it up and let Aussie players/parties use it 24/7. The fine folks over at ACL would love it, my friends would love it, christ I'd approach the local press even

You get the point. #ExactlyHowIRememberHalo2Online

Where is that quote from? Thats my every desire, is a sword that blocks.

I want a weapon that taunts people every time you get a kill now. When they die there's a little fanfare and everything with a thanks for trying award.

Please add ranks to real playlists like CE and H2C.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I honestly don't want them to add ranks until they fix more issues. Such as the game randomly ending in the middle of a match, not every game is on dedicated servers yet and it can be very laggy/inconsistent and there are still uneven starts.

Honestly I just need to be able to get through 1 full match of a real Halo w/o people quitting

Yeah, the common occurrence of quitting is really bringing the game down.

I would say 95% of my games at least start with even, full teams. How they finish depends on how bad of a trouncing it is. Are you really having so much trouble finding full games?

No the game is matching the teams even im just saying people quit every single game and a lot of the time its before the match even begins.

Oh... that's one lovely lady

I think they did a really good job prettifying it in Halo Anniversary. It's probably one of my favorite pistol design alongside Vash's .45 Long Colt. If

I wonder if it's glitches, or if the "combined game playlist" experiment is failing catastrophically (particularly given the limited options).

As soon as Frankie brings it back, hell yeah. It was BTB Timberland and it was baaaaaaaaad.

 

[HTupolev]

I think they did a really good job prettifying it in Halo Anniversary.

I think they did a pretty poor job. They lengthened its silhouette and emphasized the front geometry to give it a more punchy visual kick, along with disrupting the rolling rhythm of the sound. Feels less fluid to shoot in CEA, really lacks the amazing cadence of the original.

there is no swat playlist

 

[jailbird20022]

What features?

off the top of my head:

Halo 3 forge and custom game types are borked
File share is MIA
Halo 3 maps are running on launch variants
Halo 4 is running on pre-balance update version
Ranks are missing from all but one playlist
Lots of maps seem to never be in rotation
Armor is limited to sets

hopefully these get addressed.
Game is stable though, decided to get with the times and get my motley crew together and wreck shop in halo 4.

 

[NobleGundam]

"There is no swat playlist"
"There is no swat"
"Is no swat"
"No Shwat"

 

[Computer]

We need a quitting penalty and to be matched by skill. The game may be fix but it is still unplayable.

I hate the way CEA sounds in general, especially the Pistol. I only played it for a co op session over a weekend with a friend, but after seeing the remastering they did, I was turned off big time.

OG Xbox Halo CE on my Sony Trinitron Cadillac CRT is the way to go.

 

[Rockyrock]

Honestly I just think its people backing out when they dont get the gametype they want and not having to face any penalty

Did this game ever have SWAT? Feels pretty weird for a Halo game not to have it.

What we really need is Reach DLC for GOAT SWAT.

[SmartWaffles]

1328x1080 has less horizontal clarity (and worse horizontal aliasing) than 1600x900. 1328 samples for each line on that axis versus 1600. For instance, that's why stuff like the side edges of buildings wobble a lot in H2A compared with classic mode.

I don't know but H2A looks better than Sunset Overdrive (900p) for me.
