Speaking of Halo CE/PC, why did Gearbox cut the field of view so much for Halo PC?
Restoring the original FOV with the camera trainer makes the PC version so much better.
Oh, man, i recall some games having ridiculously light stuff, with slightest touch sending things flying....

Since I don't actually have the game, what's HPC's default FOV?
Well shucksbut yeah guys, that Phil Spencer tweet
70? 75? Much less than Halo CE had for sure. Don't have the PC version installed with camera trainer so i can't check.
Still more than Halo 2 had...
It was massive in reality. No one knew or cared about The Arbiter. People felt like they were shortchanged and only got half of a Halo(Master Chief) game. I'm sure it didn't help that the ending was abrupt and the last level was played as The Arbiter.
Its funny though because people actually started to think the Arbiter was awesome after 2 and were a bit pissed he didn't have a bigger role in 3 and was cut out of 4 completely lol

Yup, that's why I'm more interested in seeing the game for myself than believing words fed to me by PR wizards.
The general population doesn't know what's best for Halo and it never has. It's a hivemind of ignorance.
Remember when people thought releasing a sequel 3 years later was milking a franchise? This was the mentality back then.. The same mentality that demanded a H3 BR nerf. The same mentality that never understood CE on all levels yet complained about the weapons in that sandbox. The same mentality that would blindly follow what their beloved devs/platform holders fed them without putting some thought into it for themself and judging based off actions.
Halo should be a tight, well-oiled machine right now but the franchise is up in shambles. We, the posters on these silly internet forums, were never the "vocal minority" (Frankie used to say this shit a lot).. we represent the larger demographic of players on a smaller, more focused scale, providing advice on how to help this franchise excel. When you see consistency in suggestions that make sense (faster movement speed, less aim assist, lower kill times, etc.), then maybe those are ideas worth testing, and more importantly show that you're testing.
The Chief sucks as a character. The Arbiter is great (hell most Covie characters are great, the humans in Halos tend to be meh...).
Me, i always thought Cortana as the Chief's "voice", and the more the Chief himself talked, the worse he became. He should stick to being mute like the Rookie...

Trollin? That is one good aspect of Halo games.
The original game has an FoV of 70 for single-screen.
If that's what HPC uses, it's not a decrease at all.
Hmm. Well, there is a decrease for sure because you can see that from how much you see of the weapons in Halo PC and Halo CE.
EDIT your avatar shows as much AR as the Halo CE shows, whereas in the PC version you would see only from the ammo counter onward

I like the Chief as a character,the quiet version in the original trilogy.
Fret not, Thel Vadam will return.
I'm worried 343 will kill him in the comics or something.
Oh I have no doubt and I am sure he will be kicking some ass too.

I am sure by now they got enough constructive discussions. Shes passes the info but its up to the team to actually listen and execute. I still think even before Halo they knew what people wanted for the most part but like i said they wanted to chase other crowds. They scrapped an early build that was too traditional according to them. We'll see...
In addition to the FoV change, you're actually moving slightly slower in Halo PC and every game since

I'm looking at video of Halo PC on youtube right now, and that's doesn't seem to be entirely true.
Maybe you're being tricked because the HUD elements are closer to the edge of the screen?
Also, HPC crops the 4:3 view to get the 16:9 view, right?
I knew later Halos were slower but didn't know that PC version was slower. Now that i think of it... the console version did feel a tad different always.
Well. Fuck. That explains it.
Palmer will do it. Fans would finally fall in love with her character then.
The Arbiter killing Palmer would be wonderful... what you suggest would be really, really horrible.
Im more expecting a Palmer x Arbiter relationship and then a flood of SFM gifs that will come from it. Somehow it will all make sense.

Do it. I don't think a lot of people will notice the info since it's posted in older threads.
Why the hell did Halo 4 play the War Games introduction video for me?
At least it didn't reset my loadouts as i feared...
And Heavies. Why? The concept has sucked since Halo 3, it does not work. It ain't fun. Normal BTB with light vehicles (and Wraith) is wonderful but anything more is horrible.
One of my friends likes her. Explaining why she is a bad character does nothing to him. Gah.

The reclamation has already begun and we are hopeless to stahp it
My girlfriend isn't into Halo at all but she does like the art and also like Halo 1-2 MP with friends.
Her reaction to Palmer "What the fuck is wrong with dis bitch?"

He talked non stop in CE why he suddendly went mute in Halo 2 and post games? I know they wanted to be a Link esque character then they returned him his voice.

My man. It fits the character of a Spartan more, unlike the doctor Phill approach by 343i.
I think that they've said that once, yes.

Really? I don't recall him talking that much in CE.
He didn't. They kept his speaking time roughly the same throughout the trilogy.
This should be playable, so you can teabag the bitch afterward. With alien balls.
Now THAT is going a bit too far.

He did, several times compared to 3 or 4 lines in later games unless they added more dialogue lines in CEA.
I'm not going to go and count lines but Chief talked more than three or four lines before he even got to Earth in H2, and talked more than three of four lines about or with Cortana alone in H3. And H4 he was at his most talkative.
Just make new Halo games starring the Arbiter. His character and storyline were the best thing about the original trilogy. I'm talking Halo 2 as a baseline for his story; more cool Covies pls.
And either have something significant happen to Palmer that molds her into a new character that it redeemable with writing worth caring about, or kill her. Bring back our OG Nylund female Spartans.

Side character or not, his story line was the most interesting one. His story line right now still is. Trying to rebuild the elite race and dealing with the storm faction and human attempts to undermine the elites.

I loved his story and a game about him would be fantastic but I wouldn't say that it was the better thing about the original trilogy, imo.
Never said it was. But waiting 30 seconds to jump into a game (for all the videos to play) just about puts me off playing them. It's ridiculous. I should only have to wait as long as it takes to load the menu.
That is ridiculous and stupid. May be the way things are, but stupid nonetheless. Just let me play my game already. How come Halo 3 let me skip everything? It didn't even give me an FBI warning.
There's got to be a better way of doing this, such as perhaps putting it in some intro credits during an opening cutscene or something. I mean, c'mon, blu ray movies don't have a blu ray logo every time you play the video, and we all know you have to pay a royalty to use them.
I agree. I could totally dig an entire game about Arby.
Why not having something like Halo 4: ODST, except something more like Halo 4: The Arbiter as a side campaign about what was going down with him during some of the events of Halo 4. Just please have the story self-contained so I know what the heck is going on.

Linda is OP as fuck. Let her back in 343!
Can snipe a mother fucker in the head while they are in a god damn banshee! Can Palmer (Or anyone) do that!? Hell no!
