Oh man, that gaming side thread.

Whew

I should have never even bothered posting. Why do I always take the bait.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Had some randy msg me on Live asking permission to use my clips in a weekly Hardline YT series.

I'm basically a celebrity.

Hey me too Ram. How weird.

And Vin, hiest is superb objective gameplay, like a bit of blood money too.

Same here. Now another thread is up discussing the exact same arguments since November 2012.

 

[FollowTheWind]

First game of multiplayer in a couple of weeks, I think, and it literally started the game 2v3... In the supposedly ranked team slayer playlist, no less.

//sigh. If it weren't for the campaigns I'd have uninstalled this piece of shit.

Spoiler

rage rage rage

Pretty much, I have 120+ hours and thats pretty much 90% on campaign (still haven't finished 3 and 4 on legendary lmao).

 

[Newlove]

How is co-op in the MCC campaigns now? I heard it was laggy. Anyway I have an itch to play some legendary co-op or MP so if one or more want to play at some point today that would be cool to play with GAF. I usually play on my own so don't have game friends to go to. Gamer tag is Newlove and I'm from the UK so bear in mind it might be a lag fest if from US but try anywho.

Should have known better. I'm not even gonna go in there.

BTW, thanks for the Heads up about Space Marine; had to sell my 360 copy before I could finish, so I'm pretty excited

I think everyone is having different experiences in coop. I've been able to play it without minimal issues when it comes to lag or networking. Not even close to the abomination that was Halo CEA coop.

If you guys want to experience lag, i highly recommend doing coop with mix, his internet is like 1 down, -3 up.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Was there another MCC Patch scheduled for May? Or is that hotfix the only thing coming?

That new Weekly Update sounds like that https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/halo-community-update-5-1-15

EDIT
Sounds like ODST etc is the May Update

There's a patch coming and the hotfix. The patch should include relic and ODST.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

After reading that Blog Update, still disagree with crossgame playlists.

Every Halo should get their own SWAT and Slayer Playlist and make this Ranked when you are at.

Cross game doesnt work in terms of ranking. You can be amazing in H3, but shit in H1 or H2.

Hey fuck you, it's definitely not that bad. You pulling host was just as shit.

 

[Havoc2049]

So is Splash Damage the company entrusted with fixing the MCC now? At least Splash Damage has some solid FPS creds. Besides Halo, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was one of my favorite FPS multiplayer experiences. I also thought Quake Wars was solid as well. Hopefully they can fix MCC.

 

[Fata1moose]

Hope they eventually add Halo 4 into team slayer. Make in more in line with the other games, set weapon drops, no armor abilities and no loadouts. Maps I'd like to see, Abandon, Adrift, Haven, Monolith, Pitfall, Skyline and Vertigo.

Spoilers: Everyone on the Hub team has godawful internet save for maybe Jellycrackers and Ghazi. Reclaimer Radio has to be recorded using Forerunner slipspace crystals to actually be able to hear one another within the same week.

 

[Orochinagis]

Well some people only bought the console to play MCC to play it, on launch day. Hell I was about to buy the console to play MCC only, so I can understand their trouble to accept Halo 5.

And still MCC still have issues right? how can you trust them with perfect matchmaking on day 1 and have dedicated servers (MCC were turned off in MCC on the first weeks dunno if the dedicated servers are online now) even after watching the game have ADS and looks like a COD clone what would be quickly forgotten when the new COD game appears one week later, it happened before in Halo 4.

I really want Halo 5 to sucess and probably get a consolo in time for release but I would be pretty disappointed if Halo 5 dont deliver and still want to chase that current FPS gameplay money.

 

[Plywood]

Amazing.

 

[Zoso Achilles]

I'm gonna try to play some MCC in a few minutes here. Anyone on?

I'll get on. Not gonna talk tho.

I'm downloading some update now, no idea how long this will be. I guess it doesn't help I haven't turned my xbone on in a couple months lol
Edit: it randomly jumped ahead and finished after being on 2% for like 5 minutes. Weird.

Dunno if you're on my FL. Just send me an invite, Zoso Achilles

Ehh, pass. I like the TS playlist as is.

Random question, but do you guys think MS/343 will publicly address/apologize for the MCC's issues on stage at E3? It was a big enough debacle that I could see it happening, especially if there is more content lined up for it.

 

[jailbird20022]

I'll never understand the vitriol directed at people who are hype for Halo 5
. It's one thing to keep our hype in check and advise others to do the same, and then there's bashing people just because they want it.
I WANT halo 5 to be good, great actually, but I also know to keep my expectations limited till release and after a handful of user/community reviews crop up.

The worst are people who want Halo 5 and by extension the Halo franchise to die. I mean if you don't like it anymore just fuck off and ignore it.

 

[Mix]

Hey I think this image is fairly new

pretty good look at his armor if so.

EDIT: Well, I'm an idiot, it is definitely a figure.

 

[Granadier]

Looks more like a figure to me.

 

[Mix]

The image above is the Header for this week's Canon Fodder and it has a link to an interview about the Locke figure with McFarlane Toys too.

The note about Jul M'dama's faction is interesting. What's Arbiter's guys called? Swords of Sanghelios, right?

Yeah I think that's right. I wonder if they'll use that whole "these covenant use these things" to kind of reintroduce elites and Jackals from the original games.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Well, the Elites are the same as ever; it's just a question of equipment, and it seems Thel's guys use the stuff we're more used to. So we'll probably be getting "classic" elites. Visually, I think the new elites will go over better as a contrast to the old style. It makes sense for the ragged, well, terrorists to have lighter, more patchy-looking equipment.

And Escalation had both types of jackals in it, so we might get some of the birds in 5 as well.

I prefer the new ones, though.

Oh thank christ, they finally clarified regarding Jul's faction. I mean yeah, the games still call his faction "the Covenant," but I hope this goes a long way in the dissolution of calling them the "Storm Covenant."

Yeah the "stahp liking what i don't like!!!!" arguments get old. Which is why i steered clear of that thread anyway. Second i saw the title i was like "lolnope!" People just feel the need to piss in the cornflakes of others, what can you do......

He armor locked and betrayed a teammate though.

Agreed, Elzar is literally the worst human being ever.

You stole my gjallarhorn you are worse by default.

I don't think I understand how that works there man, I was just flat out unable to gather anything after like 10 minutes of repeating it out loud and slowly and goddamn, what language is that?

I know the image already got posted, but it needs to be said:

I need to get used to your new avatar dude, totally forget you're you.

I'll be me on the 14th.

Normally I'd use a "then who was phone" joke, but we already had one of those lately.

So yeah, Halo. New HtT should be great. Glad we're finally moving past the "ONI gave me the sources so it's all cool!" phase.

 

[jem0208]

Avatar changes always confuse me...

Also cannot wait for #HuntTheTruth, it's seriously the best advertisement I have ever seen (or more accurately heard ).

The funny thing is, I checked your post history and you do actually speak English.
