Just got done playing a few rounds. Honestly it felt a huge step backwards after Halo 4. Where is the sprinting? Where are the jetpacks? Who thought it was a good idea to make B the melee button? and I can't believe how ugly the graphics look now they barely look better than Halo 2.
Run and gun. Not run or gun.Just got done playing a few rounds. Honestly it felt a huge step backwards after Halo 4. Where is the sprinting?
Not breaking map map flow, thankfully.Where are the jetpacks?
The same company that made Halo 1. Their skills at designing console shooter control schemes were highly regarded.Who thought it was a good idea to make B the melee button?
Uh huh.and I can't believe how ugly the graphics look now they barely look better than Halo 2.
Halo 3 lighting model is best lighting model.
I've combed through that presentation, but I didn't fully grasp what all they were doing with their lighting maps.So here is my understanding of how Halo 3's Lighting is different based on their Presentation "Lighting and Materials of Halo 3":
This is my understanding of how it works, but I may be oversimplifying or missing some of it, but If I am understanding this right this is fucking genius.
SHs are extremely friendly to work with (until you try low-level calculus on them, at which point ASSOCIATED LEGENDRE FUNCTIONS ARGH NOOOOO), but wavelets can certainly get interesting (and efficient). I haven't personally dealt with wavelets like, at all, though.SHs are so cool. (But I hear Wavelets are even more fun.)
The issue is more semantic than technical understanding. Colour depth needs clarification when dealing with FP and HDR formats, and especially when dealing with unique/bizarre/whatever backbuffer formats.Does this help?
They said shadows caused it alongside the dual buffers. Those dual buffers together are over four megabytes.(Intersting aside: According to Bungie in that Reach DF Interview, the actual reason for sub-720p Halo 3 was more due to the dynamic shadow depth buffers, not the double framebuffer as commonly stated.)
1. Boot up Halo 3.Where can I find the MLG settings for v8 nowadays?
Also 4v4 customs anybody?
1. Boot up Halo 3.
2. Send a friends request to 'MLG Playlist'
3. Go to the profile of MLG Playlist by selecting that friends request. (This should show up at the top of your friends list)
4. Go to the friends of MLG Playlist and look for the gamertag 'MLG Gametypes'
5. Go to the profile of MLG Gametypes and if you're in Halo 3 a 'File Share' option should pop up after a couple of seconds, select it.
6. Download the MLG gametypes and maps
You have to jump through some hoops because 1) you can't download gametypes and maps via Bungie.net anymore and 2) the friends list of MLG Gametypes is full making it harder to get to his profile.
It's like a meme at this point to say (new_halo) looks like (last_halo).
Apparently Halo 4 looks like Halo CE.
In Team Slayer and MLG it's practically impossible to find a match if you're going in with a group of people because it will search for other groups of people of the same size. That's great for when the playlist had a fairly big population, but it's really killing at the moment.So from what I've seen so far:
Social Slayer has definitely benefitted. Games within seconds (when searching isn't restarting searches)
Rumble Pit is doing pretty well now.
BTB can actually get games now.
Action Sack is still dead.

Even though it was my TV messing up my aiming in Halo 3, you guys did get that down perfectly in Halo 4.I am SO BAD. I used to have my sensitivity at 5 or 6 and I had to start at 2.

It's way faster to send MLG gametypes a private chat invite and go from there. Idk why you'd put yourself through all that.1. Boot up Halo 3.

I should've thought of that. ;_;It's way faster to send MLG gametypes a private chat invite and go from there. Idk why you'd put yourself through all that.
The idiots saying Halo 2 looks better than 3 are trolling
Are you playing the GonD version?
What a horrible horrible post
Basically everything you like in Halo 4 is what makes Halo currently suck
Sprinting ruins maps because now the maps are created with sprinting in mind, it also kinda ruins encounters between players.
Jetpack completely destroys the flow of every single map there is and will ever be, good or bad.
B the melee button? Bumper Jumper is the way to go.
And no HaloGAF, Recon is for wusses. Though it would be nice to customize your controls.
Halo 3 looks great btw.
E: What saddens me the most is that tons of people think the same way and those are the people 343 has been trying to please and will continue to try to please.
HYPERBOLEALO
I keep reading this but if that's the case don't Banshees ruin the map flow as well? And those were present in Halo 1-3 multiplayer
I didn't know banshees were on every map.
15 people in BTB
A tear has been shed.

Are you just trolling? You don't spawn as a banshee nor is the .... you know what why do I even try to discuss this. This is blatantly stupid
And no Ozzy, Flood, Riccochet and Griffball fringe gametypes belong in Action Sack or D.EXP weekends.
And then you try to keep the base gameplay across lists as much as same as possible.
Reach was madness how many different kind of Halos it had and all felt bad except MLG.
There should be one kind of balanced base gameplay, a even more stripped down version for competive play and random junk like action sack and more
Where is Conor, we need him to tell 343 we need a serverbrowser
Gears 3 had dedicated servers but no server browser.Halo 5 has dedicated servers. Doesn't that automatically mean there is a list? I would hope so.

Server browsers are only good for custom games, not actual matches. You should always join a match before it starts.
I am getting my ASS KICKED.
Seriously, and I suck with BRs

It's funny but I actually want Gold again after maybe 3 years without
Not because I want Halo 3 (I already own it) but because this will cause a resurgence in the MP which was so good
