The Shadowrun FPS. A masterpiece; a tragedy. Ugh.

Nahhh. Moral Dick Tatas will consist entirely of the Arbiter coming back to shit on Halsey's grave for 600 pages.
She'll come back with a robot arm or something. Having her lose her arm will be utterly pointless in the long run I'm sure.
This. All of this.
I basically consider Halo CE a separate Halo franchise, and then Halo 2 is the first entry in the shitty Halo series. Nothing can match the soul-crushing ruination of Halo that I felt during Halo 2. All these little foibles over minor differences in the series from Halo 2 to 3 to Reach to 4 are pretty irrelevant to me, because none of those games have the fundamental elements that I fell in love with in Halo CE.

Can we all start playing Shadowrun and become ShadowrunGAF already?
I'll teach all you noobs, just let me know and my 2K+ hours of experience can finally be put to use.
1v1 or 2v2 matches in Halo:CE are what made the series for me. I love everything about Halo:CE, it's top of my list for campaign and multiplayer.
I can see for a lot of folks why Halo 2 has the best multiplayer, especially because of Xbox Live. I think Halo 2 is probably my most played multiplayer game in the entire series. I still feel that as long as you enjoyed Halo 1-3 as they released, you experienced great games, even if in hindsight, Halo 3 isn't as great as some folks remember.

There's still the mystery of the unbandaged bullet wound to deal with.
Maybe some new, sexy female side character will nurse vulnerable Master Chief back to health. Get all the young dudebro's pumped up for the next Halo.

I like it in reach because you also get a pistol and can beast with it.
Those old games can be so boring to watch though without commentary or point of view switching. The SD game doesn't translate well to an HD world.
NIIICCEEEEE
Look at those teleporters, so passe and unbalanced.

I remember having this movie on VHS and masturbating to the ky jelly fight scene. Every day.
Because Halo 4 brought in a truly exciting and breathtaking story to the Halo universe.
"Don't shoot! I'm unarmed!"
Oh my god I forgot about this, for FUCK sake 343i, what is even the point?

Pistol vs AR battles were some of my best times in Reach, I had good fun with it and preferred it over DMR starts.

so dynamic, 343-sama~~
I like how his boner is right below his heart.
Well Conor is gone again but I agree with his point, glorifying Palmer and shitting on Halsey needs to stop.

Totally called it.
I really did not mind the Spartan Ops take on Halsey. Traviss' books were the ones that made me mad though, the droning on and on about her being evil was just ugh.
I thought at first they were going for some civil war angle with Oni and the new Spartans led by Palmer as being greedy and power hungry etc. With the older Spartans rallying to help Halsey, but with the books, Spartan Ops, and Sarah Palmer love fest with new comics, Spartan Assault and saying how she was instrumental in recovering Chief and her defeat of Jul Mdama, they're really going to make Halsey a villain in the next game most likely and Palmer a hero.
Makes sense to me. Release old titles for free, adds value to Gold and (wishful thinking) builds up an audience who might have missed the games the first time around if you're going to make sequels. Hope they decide to increase their goodwill after the X1 missteps by continuing the program pass this X1 launch.

Maybe HaloGAF can explain to me why the heck people love Half-Life 2 so much. It's got boring enemies, boring weapons, a bunch of frustrating first-person jumping segments, and stupid things like auto-killing me because I had the nerve to try and continue the chapter without using one of their vehicles, which handle about as well as they appear to be constructed. Then there's the story, which requires you to accept that your mute character is treated like God for some reason.

The game does a great job at creating a convincing world and the story telling is top-notch. These things can help a game a lot more than some people think (see: The Walking Dead). The gunplay and enemies aren't that amazing, but they manage to mix things up very nicely through-out the campaign. There's barely any replay value, but the first time through it was amazing.

My original idea actually had sprint stay and thruster pack just take up the AA slot across the board, simply because I don't believe that sprint is going anywhere, for better or worse. No sprint would be lovely though.
Thruster pack should also work as a double jump by doubling tapping A (or whatever your jump button is) but have it all tied to the same recharging meter so it's not completely OP.
I agree that I doubt sprint is leaving us (and personally I don't want it to go), but 343 should really make that a supported option for customs. As much as possible having a "backwards compatibility" in the game to play fairly close facsimiles of the old games should be attempted, and sprint is a big one to be stuck with in those cases.

I just played some Halo Custom Edition. Death Island is GOAT.
Pretty sure whenever the title update comes out for all this stuff, within the next 3 weeks.
That perk you described is only going to be unlocked if you buy the champion bundle, then is going to be released for all a couple months later.
The introduction of new perks can be seen in a number of ways:
a) They are getting their perk fetish out of the way before Halo (5) One. Halo 4 has a declining population, so why not.
b) They are testing these new perks for Halo (5) One.
c) Space Jesus vs Mechs. Guillermo del Toro directing.
d) Perks are now canon, because of nanomachines and ponco wearing space corgies.
