ShadowRun was/is an amazing FPS. I want a new one
Dayyyyummmmmmm!
ShadowRun was/is an amazing FPS. I want a new one
So many people undervalued Shadowrun. While it was lacking a single player campaign, stat tracking, persistence, rankings, etc., the gameplay was unrivaled with any FPS, even Halo CE.
It was essentially a console original version of Counter-strike, still to this day it's freaking amazing.
EDIT: We will probably never get a new one, at least not a Shadowrun-brand type. I could see Halo or some other shooter adopting the same principles of gameplay, which are four or five different races/classes of characters, then within those classes, you create your own build of player round after round depending on the money you gain from how well you perform within the game.
Gosh, just talking about it makes me want to fire it up.
Elf, teleport, smoke, gust, tree, SMG/Rifle, just loved that build. The Troll, minigun, tree, gust, and reflexes was amazing too.
Are these Elites final? They look kinda odd due to how flat they are.
I like shiny things

Ah, I remember how angry the early stages of puberty made me as well. Good times...
If Halo 5 had classic mode, which was basically the core Halo game we have always loved, and then another mode that was actual class-based like Shadowrun with a buy system, round-based, etc...but then that's like two games in one right? You almost could see a Halo spinoff separate from Halo 5 that could easily be Shadowrun-style.
I'm really surprised no one has developed something as good or better than Shadowrun.
According to his tweet it's 60FPS: https://twitter.com/franklez/status/517096876990951424
I played Halo 3 Tsavo Highway and The Storm today. God, I can't wait to play it on Xbox One.

That is one thing I noticed about H2A.. everything looks kinda dull, washed out. Some bits look nice, but it isn't quite where I would want it to be.
Not a huge fan of MC's armor colors/texture either.
Game doesn't look bad though.

ROUND ONE
Fight!
Fight!
Motion-tracking system architecture falls into place, temporal reprojection activated? Instagram filter applied? "Weather system" implemented to put magic sparkles in the air? CURLBACK GRUNTS?

Oh, I finally read Halo Evolutions Part One, by the way. It was a great little collection of short stories, but it felt Metal Slug-ish with regards to pacing - Nylund's anthology (The Impossible Life and Impossible Death of Preston J. Cole) is like half the length of the entire book.
LEGIT SHOOK!!!
After good user and player feedback from various events and reveals, CA drastically reduced the amount of screen shake from grenades in H2A MP mode.
Actually, one thing I was excited by in the latest build, was how vibrant everything looked. The lighting and overall image quality (including frame rate, anti-aliasing) were just significantly, gorgeously improved.
Trying not to use hyperbolic terminology that will come back to haunt me, but there was something about how crisp and clean the IQ in last night's build were, that really got me excited. So that's my personal feels, not a PR statement, but I ended up getting really sucked in last night, playing because I was having a blast and because it looked amazingly PRETTY.

Good to hear. Just wondering if you guys are for sure keeping grenade hitmarkers in, too?
Hope not. But gg CA, 343, and all the teams involved in this listening to their fans. THAT is how you make vidergamez

Don't know if you can answer this, but in Halo Wars you could re-watch the cutscenese outside of the campaign. Are you thinking of adding this in the MCC as well? At least for H2A maybe? Or is there just no space left for that? I think it's a pretty neat feature.
Edit: Would be also cool for the Halo 2 Anniversray terminal videos.
Yeah, within reason. If we ACTUALLY made games that way we'd end up with this:
lmao. Perfect picture to describe "it".
Didn't they say that was in a while back? I can remember asking about it
I have lost track of things that are in the MCC since the Master Thread was closed.
If that's the case, I'll be happy (and several other probably, too). I loved going back to Halo Wars to watch the cutscenes.
Yeah, within reason. If we ACTUALLY made games that way we'd end up with this:
lol
All the Campaign Cutscenes are unlocked from the getgo So you can either watch them by selecting the level (or Rally Point) or there's a VIDEOS menu in the extras menu that lets you select Terminals and other vids.

I tried looking at the OT for updates but forgot I made this thread. Can someone brief me on all halo news since September 9th?
Praise da gods! Though I didn't notice it while playing myself, though watching the ESL tourneys made it obvious it was too much
Yeah, within reason. If we ACTUALLY made games that way we'd end up with this:
NICE, exactly what I want, where do I send my check to?
"Other" vids? So not so much every cutscene in a single menu but random extras?

Halo 2 LE bonus disc videos updated with better lighting and Staten talking about crazy sausage doberman gator babies in 60FPS.
Another Day At The Beach Anniversary would be nuts though.
Nice, didn't know this.
Now Xbox has to update the OS and get offline profiles in, so real offlien system link works again
What the hell.....

Spartan Ops episodes there as well?
Will you need Gold for Spartan Ops this time round?
I still have my LE floating around here actually. Kind of a shame that the MCC isn't in a case that resembles it. Would have been a cool little throwback

Does he mean the "Blur" scenes and perhaps some H5 beta footage?

My avatar is crying tears of joy.
That would be crazy.
I know they put a lot of content in this MCC.
But they wouldn't go THAT far would they?
WOULD THEY?!!!!?
