Halo |OT 23| Thruster is Love, Thruster is Life

Dude, you're probably the better host for such a thing, you saw how well my "HaloGAF plays Destiny" thing went. (Still wanna do that at SOME point still though, lol)
We might need a falconer and/or huntsman to find what wilds Clique resides in these days...
Is that a custom game marathon or something? If so I'm in
Indeed it is! Two to three hours of Halo: TCC customs goodness with HaloGAF
Was all sorts of excited when I found out about this today. Too bad my drum set is completely shot to hell... :-/
Logic=None.
You are part of the fucking problem. I hope you get a bad reputation and are stuck with other people with bad reputations in any MP game...
So you decided to be a shit and then complain it's everyone else's fault.
It's because they are trying to pander to a minority of gamers who have a mental issue where they need a gun visible on the screen for some reason. Despite the fact it makes zero sense from an established lore, story or game perspective, it's added solely to pander to fans who play other games, primarily Call of Duty.
It has provided zero advantages in terms of gameplay, and instead creates being spots or hinders total FoV on the screen. What Halo had before Halo 5 worked, and worked well. It would've been smarter to tweak classic/zoom for more visibility. But no, they wanted modernization and immersion which don't really make sense beyond, we want Halo to feel as much like Call of Duty while still playing very much like a Halo game.
Don't get me wrong, if I was in charge at 343 I'd do the same because I'd want to make as much money, get as many people to buy the game, make the cash and move on, but as a Halo fan, I'll always be against it.

Yep.
Sprint is awful as usual. The map design suffers because of it, and Halo gameplay just works much better without it. And ADS? God, I hate that filth. If it was completely cosmetic and there was an option to use classic scopes I could accept it, but nope, apparently that's too much work for 343 (a circle in the middle of the screen is too hard, obviously)
But hey, gotta chase that modern shooter crowd, right? Including the option to use classic scopes is too risky. Can you imagine if a modern shooter fan (or even worse, a Metro UK reviewer) activated it by mistake? Pressing LT and not seeing the gun obstructing the middle of the screen would probably cause them an aneurysm. 343 can't take any chances, better to just not include the option at all.
Edit: Dude, don't you have any more gifs? I've seen you post that "going in circles" gif like 4 or 5 times already, and that's only in this thread. I know you liked Halo 5, and always get a little defensive when people rightfully critizice bullshit like sprint and ADS, but you don't always have to use the same gif, you know?
Cool. I think that's a pretty cool way to deal with it. What's your gamertag so I can play with a pretty cool guy?
Also, folks speculating on H5 content at PAX - it's the same code as the Beta, more or less, so don't expect anything new at PAX East.

Are we going to get another "beta" before release Stinkles?? The withdrawals are real! "I wants it"

So I'm playing Halo CE Anniversary for the first time, I can't stop switching between old and new graphics, I can't believe how big the difference is. Is the Halo 2 Anniversary graphical jump as dramatic?
If team killing made you guys work faster, this patch would have been done months ago.

I love how this thread has moments of "spot the asshole". Kinda fun when I don't have my Xbox on.
There's a huge style difference.
The classic graphics are also unfortunately a really bad port, not to mention the omission of the original audio.
In some technical respects absolutely (it's oXbox->XB1 rather than oXbox->360 after all), but they don't diverge from the style of the original as much, and they tried to stick closer to the original geometry and visibility.

I'm pretty annoyed with myself that I was totally uninterested in gaming while the Halo 5 beta was out. Now I'd love to play it, lol.

You really missed out. A lot of us had a great time with it. Kinda wish we had another beta.
The beta was pretty damn amazing actually.
Probably the most fun I've had in competitive Halo multiplayer.
Think of it this way, now you're more hyped for the actual launch, because you never got a taste of the Beta. It was definitely fun no doubt.
Also, Frankie, even though the "code" is the same more or less, meaning game play shown off would be the same as the Beta, you guys can/will talk about campaign, other MP stuff right?

Just played a Big Team Battle 3v7 because two people quit 1 minute into the game and the rest dropped over time. Now that matchmaking is starting to work I hope they consider implementing some quitter penalties.

I did notice first thing was the change in style, even changed the mood of the environment in some locations
Weirdly, ADS doesn't really bother me on any gun except pistols. Whenever a pistol has ADS and I try to aim it something just feels wrong. Like the game broke something in my brain so my shooting is off. Is that just me?
Maybe it'll be different since H5 still has a reticle on the Pistol scope but... ehhhhh.

I'm like 96.52% sure that was a troll post guys. lol
It certainly looks the part. DMR scope is obtrusive (which is lucky being fixed) but it doesn't bother me like the pistol does. I'm interested to try it for myself.
Especially when neither have actual scopes in the first place yet one has higher zoom (I'm assuming).
Doesn't make sense when you get right down to it.

Saving that BTB reveal for E3 I see.
H2 in general seems much better. Before this patch I avoided it like the plague because of all the hit-detection issues.

Why would I want to believe in that? That'd be nuts, like throwing a pass on second & goal with 20 seconds left.

This is a great way to describe it. Yes, now you can get games fairly consistently. It's still a bit of a mess, but at least we can play.

I found CEA to be the worst looking of the bunch.
Sometimes the bloom/colours/filter effects/whatever it was, looked nauseating to me. Worse on some levels and not really noticeable on others.
I think it was the worst earlier on, in the first few missions with the bright+outdoor environments.

It was a blast. I can't wait to play again.
So just because we shouldn't expect something doesn't mean there isn't going to be something new.
I need something new, I really miss the beta. Loved the new ranking/ mm system

Seriously the best Halo 5 montage I've seen and one of the better montages I've ever seen in general.
Makes me miss H5 so badly.
