I swear these Team Slayer players don't even know what they are voting for. They just look at the screen, see Halo 3 in the middle, and go, "Nothing could possibly go wrong."

Orbital is not a good map*, and Team Slayer means AR starts. Stop picking it.

Also, why the hell is the voting in Team Slayer the same every time? It should not be H2/A in slot 1, H3 in slot 2, and CE in slot 3 every time. It's stupid. Change it up.

Is the Sword on H2C glitched? More often than not when I hit someone it acts like a normal melee.**

*Orbital isn't that bad.
**You're probably getting sword parried, if you melee at the right time you can parry a sword, you still take a crap ton of damage but it won't kill you outright. Tad easier to do in reach.

That's in H2C? Never knew, thought it was only in Reach.

No, wait. It was only in Reach.

That mechanic only exists in Reach.

One of the most frustrating things about Halo 4 is that it tried to close the skill gap by taking away on-map stuff, but their alternative still meant bad players often got completely wrecked.

Ordnance based on kills meant that better players had a higher chance to snowball, since they are obviously more likely to get ordnance first and use it more effectively... which would get them more ordnance.

The randomness of the ordnance only became really important when the players were evenly matched, right when it was completely pointless as no losing-badly team existed that might need to be coddled by the game.

So babby BK's still got murdered by huge margins, but close games were now more random. The worst of both worlds.

 

[FyreWulff]

That mechanic only exists in Reach.

and in H3 it was only swords that could parry swords

and TU gametypes in Reach have only swords parrying swords

Swear this happened to me mad times on the original xbox >_>.

that was probably just halo 2 dropping the melee hit due to netcode lol. i had so many punches whiff in that game

My friend when he was at college would often throw 2 grenades at once, atleast once per match. Not sure if its a connection thing, or a 60fps thing. probably both.

 

[Mix]

I'll keep it simple: campaign footage for sure, BTB (or whatever they're calling the >4v4 mode now) footage also for sure. Possibly another beta announced, open, much closer to launch; this one's for stress testing rather than design input.

Less likely is Halo Wars 2, but dammit, I want to believe!

I believe that a campaign demo is a definite yes, I'm sure we'll finally see something BTB related, they've been teasing it for way too long, and, unfortunately, I feel like a second beta is too much of a dream. Who knows, I was wrong about the MCC's existence last year.

It would amazing if 343 put together a PT style demo for Halo 5 with 2 missions taking place at the same time, on the same planet, but with one perspective being Chief's and the other being Locke's and tie it into the beginning of the full campaign by adding a 1-3 minute cut scene once you finish them both.

A man can dream right?

hahaha so you literally want Halo PT? it could be fun.

Something that will hopefully tie into ONI being discredited

yeah that would be -- WHOA RAGNAROK IS BACK!? Since when?

Happens practically every game of H3 for me on MCC. Medals are also duplicated on the feed.

 

[wwm0nkey]

If you guys have Destiny, Salvage is dropping HoW gear now

 

[shrek]

Can we please have two BTB playlists for MCC? Perhaps group CE and 2 together and then 3 and 4. tbh I just wanna play Sandtrap on repeat. Which makes me think that they should just have a BF style search where you can pick a map to search for, though that'd probably mess the game up even more.

Okay, these have to be 30 fps ---> 60 fps bugs right?

 

[Lucky Seven]

I dusted off my 360 and played some Halo Reach. I can see why I was so agitated whenever I played it. Good times, though. If anybody feels like playing add me

I think TMCC would be best suited if they separated H2/H2A and H3 together, then CE and H4 together. I feel there can be an overlap of acceptance between H2/A-H3 because I doubt anyone who wants to play CE or H4 wants to play those games.

Test it out, why not at this point?

 

[DJ Gunner]

Is the Sword on H2C glitched? More often than not when I hit someone it acts like a normal melee.

I might be wrong, but i think if you just pull the trigger without lock and make contact it's a two-hit kill. You have to be locked and lunge for the 1 hit (or hit directly from behind)

And Funk...as someone who despises H4 in any flavor, the last place I'd want that game is in a playlist paired with CE.

Nah I'm locked on and it only registers as a melee hit.

:lol I had a team slayer game on Orbital the other day, first thinjg the guy on my team says as it loads, "AR starts?!" People don't seem to understand BR starts are always specified in slayer. Yeah, Orbital is horrible really bad spawning, though I've had some decent CTF matches on it.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Went back to Reach today for a match and I forgot how awful bloom, armor abilities, and 30fps were. Never again, MMC/H5G for life.

At least you have a 50/50 of playing CE instead what we have now in the mixed playlists. That's how I look at it.

But then you have a 50/50 of playing Halo 4.

You would be playing a very dangerous game of Halo roulette.

I don't understand what goes through a person's head when they choose team slayer on CE over slayer on assembly or gemini..

Do people enjoy getting killed because of shitty respawn points?

Just don't die. Plus you always have the pistol in Halo 1 whereas 2 and 3 have SMG/AR starts.

Here is what goes through my head:

"CE is love. M6D is life."

*picks CE*

 

[Killerhertz]

I think they just enjoy halo ce over those two choices no matter how bad spawns are. I would do the same thing too

 

[Forerunner]

You can't even see anything on Gemini. It's too dark.

 

[HTupolev]

You just had to come in here and make FUNKNOWN's horrifying compromises look vaguely sane.

How about we just remove Halo 4 and Gemini from MCC matchmaking.

 

[DJ Gunner]

If it is literally anything besides wizard, CE gets my vote in TS. I enjoy me some 2/3 BR starts too, but when AR stars on orbital wins over Hang Em High, I die a little inside.


No, I die ALOT inside :/

Gemini was good fun in team doubles back in the day.

Team Doubles CTF:
-Grab enemy flag and bring it to your base in the side room/hallways where the teleporters are.
-Jump your friend up to the high windows and have him hide (you can't see a player hiding up there).
-Go make some food and eat for about 20 minutes.
-Come back to find the team still looking for you because it's on sudden death.
-Walk around taunting the other team using proximity chat.
-Leave again for 20 minutes etc

Don't get me wrong. I really don't care for Gemini. But it was Team Br! I would rather play with reasonable respawns and a good starter than play with a pistol I can't use because I die less than a second after I respawn.

Just don't die. Plus you always have the pistol in Halo 1 whereas 2 and 3 have SMG/AR starts.

Believe me when I say I try. It's just hard to do that when you respawn into a barrage of enemy grenades.

I do understand voting for something other than CE (especially BR starts) when it's standard 4 v 4. Small 4 v 4 maps in CE is a cluster of random deaths. CE is best with 2v2 or 3v3.

So yeah.

 

[jem0208]

CE is actually amazing in 2v2. I was playing split screen with my brother recently and it was so much fun. We were playing really good people so we only won once or twice but it was really rewarding.

 

[RowdyReverb]

I had this happen to me a couple nights ago. I was told that it doesn't count as a sword lunge unless you complete the lunge animation. When it happened to me, I was at very close range and attacked with the right trigger, so maybe it struck before the animation finished? Idk. I felt cheated though.
