Halo |OT3| Remember Reach?

So no dedicated servers huh, wasn't really expecting it so not a big thing for me. No bots was kinda obvious. Hopefully we get some real reveals soon, E3 is a month away and looks like Halo 4 will have a pretty big presence there.
I see both multiplayer and campaign being shown off, that will be a good day.

I'd wager that servers are not a cure-all by any means. I'd also wager that they talked about them and decided the amount of work, time, and money for their first venture as a studio just wasn't worth the possible payoff be it big or small. It'd take an extraordinary amount of work to make those systems work and work well. I'm sure they chose to focus their efforts elsewhere as they are essentially building and rebuilding this games framework and they'll reconsider it for Halo 5 when things are more established.

I already covered that:

"Dedicated servers won't increase our sales and would instead cost us more money, we think our shitty P2P can do just fine cherry picking players all across the globe. We're sure you'll enjoy your TS game against Mexico, Ireland, Canada and Antarctica. By the way, Antarctica is host."

It sucks that Halo 4 won't run at 60 fps.

It sucks that Halo 4 won't have dedicated servers.

It sucks that Halo 4 won't offer legacy support for all previous Halo maps.

Not a single intelligent person expected these things.

BLOPSII better than Halo 4 confirmed. (lulz). IDEK what the last one is about but I figured the first two wouldn't be in. I was really hoping for dedicated servers though, as more high profile games have been using them. =\

You know I honestly thought 343 would bring Halo MP out of the gaming ghetto and now I'm sure no Halo game will ever have dedi's, ever. Wonderful.

Is he aware of this friendship?

I hope he's aware of the effigies I ritualistically burn every night in front of my Frankie shrine. Most of the shrine decorations are replica Braveheart props I ordered off eBay from Hong Kong sellers. After shaving my head down with 343 passes of a razor, I begin the Cortana fleshlight element of the meditation. I'm a true fan.

:lol

Not to be a combo breaker but I'm not really a fan of your new avatar. Looks a little cartoony for my tastes. That old one you had was sick, not sure where it was from.

Whatever, it's your avy.

No dedicated servers? Noooooo

Really makes Xbox live seem like garbage when every first party Ps3 game (I think) has dedicated servers and it's free to play.

That's not always a good thing. The sad thing about PSN is that most of Sony's servers are shit for a month or more after launch. Hell they still haven't totally fixed Twisted Metal's servers and that was released on Valentines day.

I don't need dedis for Campaign. :p

Seriously though, the thought of Halo needing dedis has never crossed my mind. Guess I'm just too casual.

lol guy builds his own PC a month ago and now we've lost him completely.
How's it running btw? What are you playing on it?
Click to expand...

lol, I'm balls deep in PC gaming, bro. Never looking back, with maybe Halo 4 being the exception. :p

Runs great, feels so good to have everything running beautifully (max settings, 60 fps in practically everything, actual HD, etc). I've been playing the FUCK out of Witcher 2, game is excellent. The definite character driven RPG. Play a lot of Dota 2 and Battlefield 3, as well.

Awesome. Glad everything is running smoothly. I gotta fuckin get Witcher 2. I don't know if I'm going to get it for PC or 360 though. Leaning towards 360.

The HaloGAF civil war gif needs to be posted again.

It's time.
Click to expand...

Aint even a civil war.

Just typical HaloGAF here.

60 fps I care not for. 30 FPS halo is perfect so long as it doesn't drop below that like Reach did.

Dedi's are important and I hope microsoft shells out the resources to pull it off. At least make whatever "ranked" is going to be under dedi's.

As far as Forge goes, would be nice to have some lighting on pieces, more color/texture/options to not make everything so bland. Terrain modification would be cool as well. I expect it to improve, but to the level of something like Trials that gives you scripting options and Far Cry which lets you do... amazing things?

Maybe not. But whatever.

I don't really care about either of those lol. The actual tipping point will probably be price which I'm sure the PC version has the advantage in that category.

Steam's summer sale will be your friend, it'll probably be on sale then for a really good price.

Nah, when I tried playing it, I got a message that said I needed to have a Dell made PC to play it. Don't know what's up with that, but..

I agree, as long as nothing in 4 frustrates me as much as Armor lock did I'll be happy.

Screw all the little shit, I just want it to be fun and enjoyable online.

Speaking of which, I wasn't too impressed by the graphics. I haven't played much but I don't see what all the hype was about there.
