Even the bros deserve better. Humanity deserves better.

The Halo fanbase deserves better. Bros only exist because they keep catering to them. Bungie created Destiny and finally said fuck all to the shitty competitive Halo fanbase they created instead of nurturing us to be better human beans.

343 must step up and become the Banjo to our Kazooie.


TOTP EDIT: I mean look at us, we bitch and moan over most things, but can we really be blamed? Sure, Kazooie seems like a nuisance, but she might be the product of Banjo's bullshit over the years. Banjo needs to step his shit up if they are to continue collecting Jiggies and saving Jinjos. Shit's getting real crazy out there, the competition is legit now, more than ever! That Custom Gruntilda Broiler isn't going to create itself..

Well they let Dan Ayoub out of the locked cellar. I prefer the sunset look of Relic more then the new version.

I really like the new aesthetic of it. Makes it seem like its right below Zenith.

 

[Nowise10]

New ODST looks brighter at the moment then the 360 version. plz fix.

 

[Tawpgun]

Relic skybox isnt bad its just... nothing.

Better than what I feared though. Looks super clear. Not that stormy shit that was in the concept

 

[TRD Mr Blonde]

I'm so glad we are getting post release content before promised pre-release content.

Skin textures for the characters in H3 looks uglier being brighter at 1080p.

Ranks? Playlist updates? Exactly as you remember it?

Pretty sure the stormy clouds could be in view on the other side of the map. The screenshot we got, we only see a small view of the skybox.

Which I still don't get how anyone could hate stormy clouds.

Yeah, not bad, it's just for some reason the H2 Relic looked really... I dunno, drab.

Can we get a map that plays during a torrential downpour?

 

[JDHarbs]

I remember getting headaches often during day time portions because of the lighting and my compulsive need to never turn off VISR. I'd be okay with changes there.

Nighttime areas were just fine the way they were though and those changes are really effecting the mood. Still...w.i.p.

 

[AlStrong]

They should try to increase shadow draw distance.

Did you also play through Reach with a green grime filter over the image the whole time?

There are a lot of draw/LOD distances that should be increased.

I don't trust 343 to make a map in a stormy environment. They have a tendency to favor pretty effects over visibility

You mean the thing that made it look like my Spartan sneezed inside his helmet? Nope.

 

[Pennybags]

Raids are so last months ago

Someone XB1 GTAV Heist with me

If you're on a bit later I'm planning on running some with another gaffer.

Been so long since I posted in HaloGAF rather than being in read-only mode. GT is Pennybaggs.

Work in Progress means, well, work in progress. Lighting fixes and such typically don't go into effect until everything else is done.

Just a heads up; Gringo's twitter link on your Cast page needs fixing.

I noticed that as well. Thanks for catching it! One of the guys will have to fix it.

Wasn't Halo 4 a bit bright in MCC as well. Did that get fixed ?

 

[dwells]

Yup. Would've been nice to get proper ports with these types of things tweaked instead of the careless slop they delivered.

Ricochet is bloody brilliant. Why doesn't it have it's own playlist?

you speak truth. Ricochet is a blast.

I didn't notice anything overly different, but that doesn't mean it wasn't an issue. Someone else could speak on it I'm sure.

 

[HTupolev]

Haven't played enough Halo 4 MCC to know, but Halo 3's brightness curves are screwed up. It also bizarrely suffers from more color banding than the 360 version (see: Floodgate's sky).

 

[-Ryn]

I'm really hoping that if there's another boss fight with the Didact 343 is able to do it justice. Popping in and out of cover would be dumb. Give Chief Super Saiyan powers for a bit or something if ya need to just make it awesome. Or hell, maybe a certain prototype could be used? Hmmmm...

Ranks? Playlist updates? Exactly as you remember it?

I always looked at it as those kinds of things being features. Content is things like maps, etc. Ranks and those things are features.

Doesn't make it any less excusable. These are things that need to be addressed, and I believe are going to be so in next months CU.

Appreciate it, it's been fixed.

Dan lives?

ODST looks really bright. I'd hate to see how VISR looks like in the day

 

[Twin Tails]

Should be made a reality

 

[GringoSuave89]

Should be made a reality

But will it be made immediately discontinued?

 

[HTupolev]

Should be made a reality

I'd be tempted to get official S controllers that could be used natively on XB1 and PC.

Duke, nah.

 

[Mix]

Tbh I was really disappointed that this didn't happen for the MCC. I would paid $100 easily for that.

I liked the idea until I realized how awful not having bumpers would be. D:

Redesign it to add the bumpers? Keep the White/Black jewels for.... screenshot & recording buttons. Or something.

I can dig it.

Can we get true skill match making? The game may be fixed but mm is terrible. Every game is full of AKF, quitters, and level 50 vs level 1. A good close game is very rare.

I think they're addressing that in the next CU

 

[BigShow36]

You think that's bad. Think how difficult it is to win when two of your teamates go 1-10 and 1-12 (I'm SwathingLeopard)

So... duke controller for PS4? That "Xbox" circle in the middle can be the touchpad.

 

[Akai__]

The rumours of the redesigned controller aimed for the "hardcore crowd" made me curious. But like I said in the other thread, I'm scared of MS' understanding of "hardcore".

That would be terribly disappointing, since it would probably mean a Scuf controller or something similiar.

That's all I'm expecting, tbh.
