I don't think he will. He's kind of said he hasn't really liked CE, Halo 2 very much in MCC, how they play. Plus really hated Halo 4, and I doubt he's dying to play Halo 3. I think Ram is officially a Halo 5 kid now.

I'd completely forgot about that, lol.
I dunno, maybe? I don't think the games have aged well once I went back to them. Not to mention hardly anyone I played with back then is playing it.
I'm ok with being labeled a H5 kid, shit was good.

Actually had a fun game in CE 1v2 on Prisoner. The kids I were playing weren't bad and we had a few good back and forths fighting for the RL and camo. I ended up winning 48-39 tho so I'm sure they were pissed lol
Edit: also I have a lot of good halo 5 clips if anyone wants to use them in a montage

I just had a 2vs4 match on Epitaph. Luckily it was BR starts and we managed to win 50-30 something. The people in the other team were so frustrated, that they teabagged after each kill and started to betray each other. Classic Halo experience.
Oh yeah, BR starts make a difference in uneven match ups, because you can actually kill stuff with your BR.
Clamber has really fucked the old games for me, I keep wanting to just grab ledges and hoist myself up.
I've enjoyed Halo 3 the most in MCC, it's just worked pretty great. The glaring issues are just poor movement, it's so slow and a wonky BR.
Edit: actually, I like H2A best. It's everything I wanted Halo 4 to be. I'd have loved if this had 20+ maps.

It works, and that's good enough for me.
The only MCC Playlist that even kinda works for me is SWAT. It's something but... meh. I just want Halo 5 now.
It's 100% meh.
The raids are one of the best things to ever happen to a FPS, so no.
I know, never meant to imply it was bad. Actually had a random public event during my playthrough that reminded me how intense and fun the firefights can get. It's just that it gets so grindy and repetitive with certain things and my God I forgot how LOL-random Crucible is for the most part.
I'd love it if they had something like a "Throwback" mode in Crucible where it basically plays without supers/abilities and a limited pre-set weapon set. Idk...maybe like Halo with even starts? I know it would never happen, but I can dream. XD

Unwarranted? Bungie worked on that game for how many years and had what kind of budget? Was Bungie a first-time studio or have they been around for a long time and produced quality products before? Are we talking about the same Bungie who pioneered XBL/Matchmaking and were once respected as one of the best developers around?
Unwarranted, eh? I strongly disagree.

Is this a serious view others share?
I guess if we aren't going to argue about Sprint or #motiontracker we may as well argue about Destiny.
Yes. My view is that it is the mehest game that has ever mehed.

If the beta is any indication, and I've been told it is, the game is pretty meh.
Also my internet is quite possibly the worst thing in existence.
I definitely think Destiny's biggest problem was people overhyped the shit out of it. Coupled with poor communication in the lead up. Whether it's a bad game is really subjective. I don't think it is. It's sold like hotcakes, still top ten in NPD, GAF gets a new Destiny OT like every week, people are playing it every day, week after week.
Campaign and story wise it's really poor, but it's made up for it with its PvE raid and strike design I think. People are playing it just like they used to play ODST firefight back in the day.

I just played the Beta, but Destiny just seemed like a really polished but transparent attempt to make an FPS Skinner box, and the story was a nonsensical stab at grandeur that fell flat. I mean, it was fun but it's wasn't an efficient use of my relaxation time. I feel more accomplished when I play Minecraft, and more social when I play Halo no matter how buggy.
We should have a HaloGAF plays Reach night! (semi-serious)
Obviously only BTB and/or Invasion if we were doing matchmaking. I mean, if people are shying away from MCC at the moment, it might be a decent stab to get a Halo fix for some for the time being.
I feel bad that I missed out on any Reach customs that were done here years back. Probably some good maps and gametypes played. I guess I would have to plug my 360 back in for that action though, lol.

I thought about re downloading Destiny recently, but I remember how much I hated getting killed by fucking Blade Dancers.
There wasn't enough incentive for me to keep replaying strikes for Light Gear. Didn't have enough friends to do the Raid plus the Crucible is/was horribly unbalanced.

I would if it was ported. Don't have a 360 any longer.
For the game Destiny is trying to be, and the already spectacular raid experiences you can get elsewhere, the raids in Destiny are kind of a joke.
Beating hard modes and raids withing a few hours completely negates the games core draw-in. It's longevity and value lies within the fact that you need to run them over, and over, and over in order to get the loot you need, rather than making them challenging, elaborate and lengthy and receiving more loot (the way it should be). Which is how you can describe the rest of the game.
An addicting, carrot on a stick experience for people who want to repeat the same mundane tasks over and over.
No different than dailies in WoW, which I did for years, so I can't blame you, but calling it one of the best things to ever happen to an FPS is weak.
Guarantee the raids in BL3 will be much better considering BL2 already does it better than Destiny.
TLDR: As someone whos played WoW for years, Destiny laughably tries to be an MMO with very little reward and fails in most aspects. It basically takes all the worst aspects of MMOs and makes them mandatory to run over and over.

Sounds like a waste of time tbh.
I've played WoW for a long time bud, no need to give out education on the subject.
You're talking about a studio that made nothing but typical FPS campaigns for years transitioning over to tackle a subject not seen in the FPS space. Of course it's going to be rough around the edges, these dudes are learning as they go.
Judging FPS raids to WoW raids is dumb anyways. You're given so much more freedom in a FPS that doesn't have to be accounted for in a WoW raid. Apples to oranges.
If it were so easy, there'd be a ton of this content out there, but there isn't.
We'll always have BF4 Rush.

What a badass.
There comes a point where we have to stop making excuses for our favorite developers. This isn't Bungie's first go-around; a lot of talent and experience at that studio. You make the same excuses we all make to our non-Halo fan friends to mask our disappointment so they could be interested.
We're all sad.
EDIT:
Didn't know there was an inherent limitation to only being allowed one favorite developer as a complex human bean, interesting.
But Blizzard is my favorite dev, weird.
I'm not making excuses for anyone, I talk about Destiny's shortcomings daily at HGS, I barely play it anymore. I just take issue with people saying it's a 5-6/10 game, that's pretty ludicrous to me. It's a new IP with some neat ideas that need to be tweaked to really tap into something special.
If you guys ever need a decent heli pilot or sniper hit me up.
Overwatch is definitely one game to watch. Going to be pretty amazing from what little I've seen of the game play.
I didn't solve Riven without looking up guides, and I doubt I ever would have. But to me the world building the games did was always more interesting to me.
Speaking of which, I'd love puzzle-type elements in Halo. Nothing like physics puzzles in HL2, because those were annoying, but it'd be cool if you could leverage previous knowledge or observation to gain an advantage, finish a level quicker, find better weapons, etc.

Why is someone else's opinion and scale systems something you take an issue with? Ludicrous seems.. strong.
I think you're underestimating the understandable disappointment long time fans have felt after playing Destiny, especially if that's what they bought a console for.
EDIT:
Overwatch looks awesome.
Snipers need to be shot to the moon in Rush.

Idiots like this, and idiots on my team sitting on the outskirt islands doing shit all to push are the bane of my existence in that game.

I run an aggressive DMR/CS-LR4/Scout. None of that pissing in a bottle tent propping crap.
Aww man...
Wanna know something? I have never (barring times where I've gotten duplicates) sold any of my games or consoles in my whole life. I've literally got a bag with an N64 and games in my living room that I haven't touched in months since I moved to my current apartment. My 360 is just quietly sitting there next to my TV too--a silent sentinel of what used to be...
I guess the thing is I never know if/when I might get the itch to play an old game, but it does happen on occasion. And I'm typically select about what I buy so I don't have a mountain of crap games to sift through either. Well there probably are some stinkers in that N64 bag most likely, lol.
With the moves by the gaming industry to not really support backward compatibility on consoles I think I'm satisfied with my current M.O.
**************************
All that aside, I STILL think a HaloGAF Reach night should be a thing. Hell maybe we should consider playing games we're no good at and record the results for a LULZ Montage.
I'm grasping at straws here while we waiting an indeterminate amount of time before MCC works in a reasonable manner or H5 comes out this Fall. We should be able to think of SOMETHING, right guys!?!

halogaf talks about destiny way too much.
destiny is good, raids are awesome.
Nah. My sister is like that, so I'm used to it at this point.
Is it fixed yet? A HaloGAF MCC montage
It's pretty short, I haven't bothered with a bloopers part, I may make a part two for bloopers though. Thanks for the clips, I tried to use some from everybody. I may have missed a few if they were posted in the thread rather than PMed.
Also it's only 720p because my internet wouldn't be able to handle uploading a 1080p file, and DVR clips are only 720p anyway.
I know the name kinda sucks, I used it entirely because of a little Easter egg I put in right at the start.
Hint: subliminal messaging, kinda.

Nice! Short and sweet. Some really cool stuff.
Haha, it's the only playlist I can reliably get to work and so the only Halo I'm actually reasonably good at now.
Thanks, btw you are the boss of snapshots. Pretty much made the montage for me.
