I'd far rather microtransactions (in the PvZ style) with free DLC so the community remains united over the alternatives; split community or an abandoned game.

They are essentially doing what ME 3 did. I mean Warzone is a essentially a MOBA anyway. And game altering cosmetics is all the rage these days.

I don't think anybody disagrees with you, so long as the earn rate isn't punitive. ME3 hit the sweet spot for me, 2-3 matches (or less, depending on difficulty) to get the highest rarity pack.

Exactly. If its like play 100 games to get an uncommon drop then that would be wack as hell.

ME3 MP was love.

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

ME3 MP was love.

ME3 MP was life.

Give us that 343.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Give us that 343.

Shit, give us ME3 on backwards compat and I don't even need Halo anymore.

Spoiler

Yeah, I probably do.

Oh man I can't wait for that. Bioware nailed that mode, I never managed to unlock the krogan though so hopefully it may happen now thanks to backwards compatibility.

I've got my eye on the Collector. How sweet would that be?

I wonder how hard 343 had to fight got free DLC

After MCC, and by releasing Halo 5 the same year as a new Battlefront and Black Ops 3, probably not too hard. 343 had to project population will plummet like a rock no matter what they did in 2-3 weeks. So by making dlc free, those that stick with the game or come back to it, there isn't the usual fractured playerbase anymore. Everyone gets everything. I hope they force DLC too like updates or don't allow anyone to play MP until they get the maps.

 

[Nollemaster]

Just came across The Henery in Big Team! I barely know any of you but it's still cool coming across a name I recognize. Good game by the way.

 

[Ragnarok Flames]

Anyone wanna face their Destiny in Fireteam Osiris?

Yeah. They really need to force people to download this maps. Otherwise it would be pointless.

 

[AlStrong]

Oh, what's this from? I love the art, armor and clothing style here. It really looks Halo to me, more so than some of the game stuff I have seen.

Oh whoops, shoulda linked the original. Looks like someone helped out there.

Looking forward to it. Seems like it's Fred there in the full wallpaper.

It is.

The Trials of Fireteam Osiris

 

[TheOddOne]

I read all of it. What I think he was saying is that the small snippet was supposed to give you a quick look at what should be expected in the campaign. In fact he said, "you really didn't get to see that." things like scanning for important items, different paths to take, and issuing orders etc.

Since the E3 demo was extremely controlled for demoing purposes, what was shown is indicative of their actual design philosophy, not indicative of the final product.

That's what I got out if it anyways.

Still, it should have been more indicative of the final product because all the things they are saying sounds good, but very little of it is shown.

 

[AlStrong]

It is.

Mmm... leading a couple SIII's (left, Tom & Lucy?) and then there's an SIV beside him?

 

[The Henery]

GG you're hard to kill you pest

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Sometimes I wonder if Henery is the only person left playing MCC.

 

[Forerunner]

lol

 

[ViewtifulJC]

remember when they put QTEs in Halo

which also killed campaign theater

 

[TheOddOne]

Remember when it was going to be patched in.

Halo in 2015.

 

[The Henery]

Dude Everyone was all hyyyyyyyped for the return of Halogaf customs on Nov 10th. Now the game works but the MCC dream is dead. So I end up losing to Noll in H4 MM. Fin.

 

[GringoSuave89]

Spartan to the left of Fred is Olivia and the woman above is Veta Lopis, a new character that's a detective on Gao and is investigating a string of murders. As for the two in the background, who knows.

Isn't campaign theater also not for H5? I swear I read it wasn't returning again.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I heard the same. Something about dedicated servers and probably Warzone. Warzone stay sucking up resources, like Firefight and BTB

 

[singhr1]

"As for Theater, this mode is currently only available for Multiplayer. Holmes didn’t flat out say that it wouldn’t be available for Campaign similar to Halo 4 but they simply didn’t want to confirm or deny anything at this time because they don’t know if it will be there at launch or not"

You really ran into me at the wrong time, I happened to be good for once. But it was Halo 4 so it doesn't count, I know.

Okay so thats the issue, was it in Reach as well?

 

[The Henery]

Can anyone beat that for neg bombs?

 

[Haruko]

Last we heard at E3, it was undetermined if it'd return for campaign.

 

[op_ivy]

Is this how you halogaf?

 

[Poodlestrike]

Playing MCC?

Definitely not.

 

[Tawpgun]

Halogaf playing halo? What is this 2007?

 

[Prinz Eugn]

Last time I drank and Haloed, Exwife and I got into an argument with a guy who claimed that digital sound was literally bad for you.

Get shit on kids!

 

[User 73706]

Olivia's armor better be in H5. It and Tanaka's suit (in concept art at least) are the only two I like so far. I really wish they had made Tanaka's suit look more like Reach Commander + Stormtrooper the way it does in that Solairon art. She looks like a walking tank that could actually spar with IIs.

Did you compose him to prove your side?


Questions need answers!

huh, where is this from?

Tanaka (left?) looks more manly than Locke. :3

Still not a fan of the new Buck helmet really. It's the side... things that seem a bit too pronounced vs Bungie/ODST.

 

[Prinz Eugn]

Was it Heckfu?

No, a friend of our friend who is good at math. He was one of those people who had the wrong combination of delusions about his own competence and a tendency to talk way too fucking much, and that was clear before he got to the pseudoscience... anyway, fun night.

No, I did not turn him into orange Legos.

This fucking game, I don't know what to say anymore lol.

I would do some dirty things for Shadowrun remake. I'm mean DIRTY things.

Heckfu is digitally bad for you. They call him Fingerblast.

It should be backwards compatible soon, that's the best you are gonna get.

Crimson Skies and Shadowrun are definitely worthy of some remakes or sequels though.

Oh man, Crimson Skies. Loved that game, and I never even touched the singleplayer. I just replayed the campaign over and over.

Would kill for a sequel.

 

[Tawpgun]

Gimme shadowrun backwards comp please

 

[Booshka]

Gimme shadowrun backwards comp please

The only reason I could see it not happening is the cross platform with PC. It's a first party MS game, so they don't need a publisher to sign off for the compatibility, it's one disc too. So chances are high that it will be compatible.

 

[Forerunner]

Since I just beat H4 a little while ago, I will say one thing. I love the track from Midnight. It's one of my favorite pieces in Halo.
