Is that real? It can't be real.

Probably been covered in this conversation, but MCC Forge has terrain-less skybox only maps. So you can make the massive completely flat map with one crate for cover I have been dreaming of.

Can't I just make everything out of fusion coils?

 

[wwm0nkey]

DAT Chief dialogue..... Not so good.

 

[Omni]

What the fuck is going on in those comics?

And did the Didact just die in that last strip?

 

[TTUVAPOR]

Can't wait to see these kinds of montages come out again with the MCC:

Meant to post about this yesterday. I very much doubt that Halo 4's MP design decisions can be attributed solely to Kevin. The decisions themselves seem like they were made by a committee of people who likely thought they were improving Halo MP and were gonna catch the elusive Call of Duty gamer. And considering the property they're working on, I very much doubt any single lead has direct control over any single aspect of the game. I'm sure there are plenty of meetings with peers and leadership before sweeping changes are approved.

Hey man, I just post gifs

E: If he was MP Lead or whatever most -if not all- of the changes had to be discussed and accepted by him so it's just easier to blame him and stuff

Hey, maybe that means somebody else got promoted to Lead Multiplayer Designer

Nice!! That's a very large crate if it only takes one to do that.

 

[TTUVAPOR]

so what do you say about h2a than, is the whole package a failure now?

I'll say what I said in my previous post, if all of the games in MCC are not 60fps 1080p...then what is the point? We were told during E3 that this collection will contain all of the games, including H2A at glorious crisp 60fps and 1080p with dedicated servers. If any of that becomes false at launch time...it will be a huge letdown to the community.

Why the focus on giving small maps the anniversary treatment if you're giving us the tools to recreate... small maps?

It's hard to make a large map like Waterworks or Relic or whatever because Forge just isn't advanced enough. Well. It's damn right impossible to do well, anyway. But you can forge something like Sanctuary with relative ease. And yet we're not getting Waterworks or Relic. We're getting Sanctuary. Or Warlock.

blaah. It seems backwards to me.

"Xbox One visual fidelity" is one of my favourite Microsoft marketing lines so far this generation. Sits right up there with "beta tested in the future."

So, to be clear, there isn't even a flat terrain? You're just kinda floating on nothing?

Seems weird, unless the 'skybox' covers all directions.

 

[kittens]

Why are people panicking about the MCC not reaching 60 FPS / 1080p? Is there some reason to think it's not going to happen?

 

[Gui_PT]

The Halo community is used to being let down

 

[Mistel]

And did the Didact just die in that last strip?

Probably he was vaporized so much for not having plot central material in them I guess.

 

[kittens]

lol, yeah

Playlist management is still my biggest worry. Other than that, I have pretty minor concerns. Hit markers, grenade indicators, boring medals, etc.

Same, the 60FPS will be there for every title in MCC and Halo 5. 1080p might not happen for H2A campaign (not MP) and Halo 5 BETA, IMO.

NYAHH!

I couldn't care less about the campaign having the 1080p 60fps, as long as MP has it across the board, I'll be a happy gamer.

I don't think anybody ever expressed doubt about that, most of the FPS complaints came solely from the H2A campaign.

 

[Silky]

Weird. with Reach, sometimes I spawn in with no armor ability and I don't notice until like 4 minutes into the match

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Hey buddies, ol' pals, some of us read those comics and would like to be exposed to them in full for the first time. Why do you people post scans of the comics all the time ;'[

Makes me want to wait for price drops or not even pay for them at all with how often you guys discuss/post spoilers all willy nilly lol.

Because your map list should match your matchmaking plans. There will be more lists and more players on a smaller set of maps (4v4) than larger maps (8v8). You should have your set of maps fall in line with that.

Forge is also not an adequate tool for making maps (it's an editor, twisted into a map creator by the community because that's what they had to work with).

 

[Prinz Eugn]

Escalation #10 is out today.

Jesus fuck these comics

The Scattershot... "scatter" is in the name

 

[kittens]

That'd happen sometimes after going to black screen.

Also: I really miss Reach. Someone mentioned CEA only having six multiplayer maps and my mind was blown when I realized that was accurate. I got so much fun out of those six maps alone.

[Karl2177]

I'm also going to point out that Didact has a Spartan boot.

 

[ArchedThunder]

So is this real?

Please no, we need one more large map. Warlock can easily be made in forge.

 

[Mistel]

I'm also going to point out that Didact has a Spartan boot.

The knife in his eye also disappears in this one:

To reappear on the next panel.

 

[Ramirez]

Warlock is so disappointing, even I could remake that in Forge. RIP Turf, Terminal, Relic, and any other interesting remake. :/

 

[biosnake20]

So when is the halo 5 multiplayer beta vidoc coming out.

I know I'm in the minority, but I'd honestly be cool with 900p.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

60 FPS and dedicated servers are far far more important things to prioritise outside the gameplay.

All of the game components with the possible exception of Campaign on H2 A MCC (thanks to the switch for classic mode) will be 1080p, 60fps. We have never said anything other than that and I have personally clarified it in almost every single interview (including AT e3) I have ever done, as folks who follow this stuff are aware.

So please don't try to create a controversy based on a misinterpretation that has been clarified a hundred times. I shan't stand for it!

And to clarify on the bolded, the point is to create an awesome value proposition, and get some legendary games on a single hardware platform at vastly improved fidelity.

I couldn't care less about the campaign having the 1080p 60fps, as long as MP has it across the board, I'll be a happy gamer.

All of the MP components, including the H2A new mode, are 1080p, 60fps.

Of course there's a floor. Just a big flat one. Point being you don't have to work with pre-baked geology/geometry.

Similar to Halo 3's Sanbox skybox, or similar to like a huge Halo 4 forge island?

 

[FyreWulff]

Forge Island without the islands.

How close are you to hitting 1080p?

Sandbox had a cool colour pallet. Heaps better than anything we got in Reach of 4.

If only that came back

 

[FyreWulff]

I'll dig this up again:

It's probably something like this, the maximum size being limited by the Forge storage format (can't store objects past certain coords anyway), just with nothing there in the first place.

The PC port will be native 1080p 60fps and 4K across the board.

What about Halo CE Anniversary on Xbox One?

 

[Mistel]

I'll dig this up again:

Bit of a detour but forge island has far more usable space than than I thought it had. I though it was smaller than that by far.

 

[Overdoziz]

did the didact forget he can use the force to hold chief or what

 

[jelly]

He missed the QTE prompt.

Check out the vertical space!

It's absurdly huge.

 

[matthieuC]

Wow that's pretty crazy actually.

 

[Mistel]

Wow that's a lot of vertical space never would of known looking at it.
