I just feel like ZBNS MLG Reach is way too barebones. CE sandbox should be the baseline in terms of minimum content, imo. I also just don't like the way Reach's physics feel at all save for the player inertia on movement.

Ya I get ya, but that's not on MLG Reach, it's just that the CE Sandbox had actual depth and value, outside of the Needler. For Reach, the barebones sandbox was a product of Bungie's sandbox design, of course a NB DMR is gonna shit all over the mid tier, short range weaponry of Reach, cuz it was underpowered.

125% movement and the higher jump took some time to getting used to, but overall it was worth it. If Reach was designed from the onset to facilitate the play of NBNS MLG Reach in the first place, the game would have been amazing.

This stinker fixed yet?

Frankie give Popcap a call.

Excellent thread title

So uh, on a scale of 1 to 100, how much does this game work now?

I would say 45 if you're talking MP only. Good progress but still a long road ahead.

Still frequent bugs in every mode of the collection.
In MP there are two or three whole playlists where most of the time you'll do okay, if your game doesn't crash or doesnt end early before the match even begins. Which still happens too often.
That's out of what, 6 or 8 playlists? I forget.
Which was reduced from the original 12.
Halo 4 almost doesn't exist in most of MM.
Halo 1 still has no dedicated playlist.
Servers still seem to not function a lot of the time.

Three out of twelve isn't so good. You can definitely play now which is a huge improvement over launch, but you don't have a lot of options because the majority still isn't there yet.

80? It's getting there. There are still some annoying quirks but it's pretty close.

Whoa now that seems optimistic.

 

[Granadier]

Very title. Much disappoint.

 

[The Real Napsta]

This title. Much disappoint.

Explain.

 

[CRS]

This title. Much disappoint.

Par for the course since this is a MCC thread.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

I would have given my left nut to just get into some matches, but I gave up and sold the thing. I'll pick it up used when it's sub-$20. After have my saves deleted and never getting into a good multiplayer match, 343 spent all of my patience.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

lmao that title. 3v4 industry haha i cant stop laughing

 

[Twin Tails]

Very title. Much disappoint.

Nah its great

Am I the only one who hates playing Halo 1 past 30FPS? It suffers the same as the PC version did. The animations are now choppy as they were designed for well, 30FPS not 60. And for some reason a even new side effect is on the Xbone. Halo 1 seems to play faster than normal.

Which has died more at this point, Halo or Sonic?

 

[TheChewyWaffles]

Nice title

 

[Granadier]

Once Halo gets released on mobile we can make that comparison.

Oh wait...

he's still banned though right?

I hate to be that guy, but were we ever given a reason as to why Halo 3 and Halo 4's armor customization was axed in favor of armor sets?

But for some reason, people seem to support the idea of removing customization, saying Halo isn't barbie, or some other copouts.

I don't think they've said anything but they probably just thought the workload for such a project was already large enough and armor customization, while nice, just isn't that integral to the experience of Halo. Personally, I'm fine with the selection of armor sets as is, not a big deal to me.

 

[Dead Man Typing]

Just played a 3vs4 match on Elongation. One of my team mates dropped out, and then the other did too.

So I'm 1 vs 4 - what is the etiquette here?

My opinion is that I'll never quit, I'll still try to win or scrape out as many kills as I can.

But I could see how that isn't too fun for the other team. To me, there's no satisfaction in killing one guy over and over again when he's completely out-gunned.

So what's the right thing to do here? (game ended 50-11)

Say his name five times in front of a mirror and see what happens.

Any new word on when Spartan Ops will be available for download?

 

[Vipes]

Actually it kinda is. A lot of people would agree.

 

[AHappyPanda]

At this rate, when Halo 5 proper launches.

 

[Celestia]

To whoever it was that brought up the invisible sentinel beam issue on Sacred Icon, I've seen it too.

 

[Gravemind IV]

Oh dear lord

 

[darthbob]

dat title edit

 

[Seventy70]

Fuck this game

Spoiler

I love this game ;_;

 

[blamite]

Halo TMCC |OT3| This is not your grave...

 

[Vipes]

Personally I've been playing Destiny while I've been waiting for MCC to be fixed. I'd like to enjoy MCC sometime in my lifetime yaknow.

What was the first title?

Typically in extreme situations of team quitting where I can't even pretend to stay competitive and I'm alone, I try to make friends with the enemy team nonverbally. Have a bit of silly fun.

Every time they see me I hop and jump around and generally act silly. After a couple minutes of slaughtering me they usually get the idea and then we start touring around the map together in a warthog or something. They're usually laughing, I can hear them calling to their bros saying "Check this guy out lololol"

It's really great when they let me gun and so they're touring me around while I wreck their team mates, and the team mates are too confused to shoot at me.

In Elongation, though...I dunno. Can't have much fun like that in there. Someone on GAF yelled at me once basically saying I'm an ass for not quitting in these situations.

But this is a feature.

Were it so easy...

 

[zma1013]

Actually it kinda is. A lot of people would agree.

I dunno man, when people reminisce about playing Halo, I hear them talking about how they planted the bomb with 1 second left to win the game or how they did a hail mary with a grenade from across the map to kill the flag carrier as he was getting ready to score, or get 3 sticks in a row on a group of enemies. There's not much talk about how awesome it was to select a cool looking chest plate.

Well it was half the customization, half the story behind it.

Ah that title's much better!

 

[Twilight Gap]

What's the deal lately with Halo threads and jumping the gun on the OT

an unfinished game deserves an unfinished OT

 

[Poodlestrike]

Which has died more at this point, Halo or Sonic?

Sonic, easy. Halo's had a bad game and a bad launch. Sonic has been a joke for almost a decade.

 

[Hatchtag]

Which has died more at this point, Halo or Sonic?

Sonic's had a good game more recently than Halo has. While both series are being beat to death by untalented developers, Sonic at least has one talented developer working on it, we just don't see games from them too often. Thus I'd say Sonic is less dead.

 

[Booshka]

Sonic, easy. Halo's had a bad game and a bad launch. Sonic has been a joke for almost a decade.

For myself, Bigshow, FUNKNOWN, and other CE die hards, Halo has been a joke for about a decade now as well.

Honestly Halo 4 wasn't that bad. If Halo was completely stripped from it, it'd actually be a decent game. The artstyle would stay the same because lets face it. Halo 4's artstyle isn't Halo. Destiny looks more like Halo than Halo 4 did.

[RBK]

Underwhelming title.

 

[Papercuts]

Amazing title.

Insane that this got to OT2 while being a broken ass game.

 

[Head.spawn]

Oh dear lord

God tier shit right there.

 

[rakkadakka]

Having finished Halo 4 on Legendary I would like to say...

Fuck Promethean Knights.

Seriously, fuck those guys, no obvious silhouette headshot..very difficult to bring down but low damage.. except the ones that carry beam rifles or rocket launchers.

They had some cool ideas with the Promethean dogs and the protectors.. but the knights suck as the heavy class.

Can someone remake "One Week" to "One Month" and relate the lyrics to this fucking game?

 

[Sai]

Fuck Promethean Knights.

Hear, hear.

 

[TheDarkBites]

Couldn't connect to people for about ten minutes, and then tried BTB playlist. First match I got into was unbalanced and ended up crashing. After going back into the game from dashboard, I again tried BTB playlist, got into a game about ten minutes of searching, and the game froze after picking up the bomb. Crash to dashboard.

I chose BTB because no other playlists were finding people to play with, ironically.

 

[Noobcraft]

Whoa now that seems optimistic.

I had a good day today. I played several matches of SWAT and I was absolutely dominating people lol. I got the Halo MP feels today.

Fuck being forced to fight the most frustratingly awful Halo enemies yet with the equivalent of a plasma pistol. I will never force myself to bear through Halo 4 legendary again, not even for the MCC.
