Halo |OT14| They call it Halo

Still can't believe they spent so many resources on a mode for online co-op which has never worked well in Halo.

New consoles are quite sexy and irresistible, except for the Wii U at launch. Decided to have my gf get me one for xmas since I didn't really have a "list" lol - Now when the next Smash/Zelda come out in 10 years I won't have to buy one myself :B
NintendoLand is seriously a blast if you ever have people around. Get one for the studio! You can thank me later <3
Can't wait!
This might be one of the sexiest gifs I've ever seen posted in these threads..
Well Microsoft has what for exclusives? Halo, Gears, Forza... And all but Gears released a title last year. MS somewhat set a precedent for themselves with CEA. H2A is the only thing I see being possible in terms of Halo, and even then I question the amount of polish such a thing would have. They're gonna have to put out something that separates them from the PS3 now that CoD has overthrown Halo as the all-round online king.

Anyone else just get a free month of XBOX Live gold from Microsoft?
Probably why they just dropped campaign matchmaking from Halo 4. Weird to think that's only been in a single Halo title now, even though 4 of them have Live campaign co-op (3, ODST, Reach, 4)
I'll tell you what, Saber really put some heart into mangling Halo 1 into supporting it. It didn't quite make it, but it was quite an effort, considering Halo 1's AI was not deterministic.
Forgeworld was fantastic for making interesting large scale maps that weren't conventional team slayer etc maps.
just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it wasn't a fantastic idea, it gave map makers options
But it was terrible for those small maps. And guess what the majority of people played?

What?
It had horrible frame rate issues because of its size. It had so much unusable space and virtually nothing in terms of large flat ground.
Its "environments" where useless. The Spire sucked. The middle island sucked. The tunnel was too dark and unusable the Colosseum was really the only decent location and that was a medium-large empty room.
If they wanted to create a map based on multiplayer environments then they did a mediocre job and failed miserable when it came to appearance of the objects.

375 million dollars
could have alternated Halo / Perfect Dark / Gears as their shooter stable and keep them on 3 year cycles
could have had a platformer franchise in Banjo, and an M rated general franchise in Conker, and a Zelda-style franchise with their canceled adventure/RPG game
NOPE
Rare is just Microsoft Systems Development UK now.
It makes me sad I remember this ad series.
Perhaps the original forgeworld wasn't extremely ideal, but the idea of forge world, a large dynamic space to create maps is a good idea. Also, just because some people aren't creative enough to make maps unless its on a "flat floor" doesn't meant there weren't other decent locations to forge.
more OPTIONS is never a bad thing. Its just a shame that Reach never gave map makers some more basic maps to forge too.
I once got an AARP application in the mail.
They send me an AARP card with my name on it once a month to my address. I'm not even 30 yet.
I've considered signing up just to see how long it takes them to figure out that I shouldn't be a member yet.

I'll believe it when I see something that isn't a CG trailer.

A Halo game developed for the PC (not simply ported to it retroactively) would be incredible. We could more easily mod any issues we had with the game.

I've played both Halo and Halo 2 on PC.
edit: Oh, I see. I didn't try to mod H2V. Were there issues with that?

As much chance as Halo 3, Reach and ODST. But, don't give up

Absolutely. And using the pistol with a Mouse/Keyboard was like... orgasmic. Click-click-click. Ohhhhh, yeah. It also had a shit ton of maps and a bunch of great players, many of whom might never have been compelled to play a Halo title if it didn't come out on PC.
It's really a shame that so few people still play it. For me, it's not even a nostalgia thing, I just find that older games tend to be a lot more fun to play and they make me feel more rewarded when I actually get kills (Unreal Tournament/Quake, Counter-Strike, Halo).
Generally I use those mouse clicks to find better things that are orgasmic. But whatever floats your boat, I guess.
no 343 ruins halo

Nice! I managed to get one in the first week, but not as much luck since then.

The best thing about Halo 4 was the opening and ending cinematic. I'm grateful for those two things. Everything else needs to be redone.
