Halo 4 |OT2| TURBO
- Thread starter Tashi
- Start date
I could have took a little more time with everything. I just starting getting lazy....
Halo 4 BR is way cooler in black than in grey imo. Can I have a HD screenshot plz?
343 Industries should bring back the "cool" feeling Halo 2 had (hollywood blockbuster + spiritual aspect + cool design above pure SF aspect for weapon and weapon's sounds) for their next title.

in a half-awake stumble i just saw something the size of a half dollar covered with hair scurry under the bed dear god frankie what hath thou wroughtI FOUND IT.
It was a monster. Now it is in the sewer. I should have taken a picture. But I was scared it would escape again. It was fast. And I was scared it would run up my leg and eat my junk.
This is a picture of a smaller one from last year. Same kind. Hobo Spider. Genus: Arachnia NopeusNopeus.
It does have some pretty ones especially shatter.

To me that Spartan Ops environment is the location I most wish we got to explore more. Also it occurs to me we've never gotten a "tropical-island" Forerunner environ.
And yeah going back to Reach Forge rocks just shows how improved the ones in 4 are. Although I wish we got more grass too, rocks everywhere can get tiresome
Ooh, I hope we can plant grass as Forge objects in the future.

Ah, the last phase was always an slaughter fest for the offensive team.
What's funny? Is there a post that's disappeared or something?
They look like Kryptonite.
Or TiberiumRIP in peace C&C
But they do look nice one of the best looking btb maps in the game.

Invasion was fun, not very balanced nor filled with variety, but it was fun.
I hope it returns one day.

Mmmhmm.
Deleted for a reason so we'd be best not to talk about it I guess
I never get any DLC in BTB. Granted I don't play it as much as I used to, but I swear the only way I'm getting any of the new maps is in CTF. And even then it's only The Pit (though it is the best map in the game, IMO, so that's not so much a bad thing)

Killzone has this sweet "mode" (I don't know if it works online or not, only tried it with bots)
You basically play a game of TDM or something and once the game finishes the winning team gets a "point" the game doesnt actually end just the map changes to incorporate whatever is required for the next mode like some flags spawn or something. Then all of a sudden you are playing CTF and not TDM. This cycles on and on until a set number of "points" have been won and then it's game over.
It could work well in Halo.
TDM - CTF - Assault - Stockpile - Territories
First to 3 games won.

So Tournament Mode pretty much? I've wanted one in Halo for awhile now.
Warzone. Never played it but I've seen videos. I think it could work in Halo.
Fair enough then.
Well it's a rarity I've only ever seen the first map pack come up. I don't think Shatter is all to good for split screen if Woorloog is anyone to go by but without the mantis (what ever the pural is for them..) it's pretty enjoyable. Probably because it's got cover and not a long range slaughter.

Uhh...Halo 4. Yeah.
I thought I had already seen every cutscene before playing Halo Wars, but I just saw one of them for the first time... Absolutely gorgeous.
Up to level 11 in coop, heroic difficulty. I'm having a lot of fun with this game. I wish Ensemble was still around. A new Halo Wars on Xbox One could be amazing.

Now picture SmartGlass integration like having a minimap where you tap and instantly jump to. The potential is massive.

If you're wanting some stupid fun a game called "Prop Hunt" was great for some laughs in a party of 7. Basically mongooses (mongeese?) are inside and locked to movement of "props" e.g. a small rock or a piece of geometry. The flood infected guy spawns late and gives everyone time to mount a mongoose and hide using their prop. You stay on the mongoose so the flood guy can hear you but has to find each prop and kill the spartans. As a spartan you're invisible and inside the prop so making your prop hide in a good spot is key, you can also move around but potentially give yourself away. I think the games were limited to 5 or 10 minutes.
It's silly fun and we played it about 4 or 5 times. The map suits the rock and geometry really well so get the map and gametype.
Of course gun game is always fun too.

I have a few more coming, some old ones updates too.
Edit: AbandonedCashew has just released a beta for an Invasion replica mod, you can find some compatible maps in the link too if you feel like trying it, he's looking for some feedback.
He also made a Titanfall mode

Does it return to a lobby inbetween games? I could imagine a lot of people would quit due to 5 matches pretty much taking up around a hour. But it would be awesome, can already imagine the trash talk inbetween games.
I've been playing a fair bit of Wars recently with friends, tried co-op and it was really fun and well done, perhaps slightly to easy as the need for micromanaging was near non existent with 2 players. Never get bored of the cutscenes
except when Forge (Justin Timberlake) kills Ripa in a 1v1, I would have liked Ripa vs the 3 Spartans
It's a cycle of 5 modes and at the end of the last one you go back to lobby.
Back when I use to play Killzone a bit you could seriously rack up points during the whole warzone game mode and knock out achievements along the way. It could definitely work in halo me thinks

The Legendary edition of Halo 4, only released in Italy. Weird that they only released it there..
Well what's in it other than grasslands the game and the ship picture?

Here is a better pic with everything.
Looks like it is essentially the collector's edition of the game bundled with a bunch of merch. Nice packaging, though.

The Titanfall bundles are just regular Xbox One packaging with a cardboard sleeve. I think they literally opened up existing boxes and put the card inside.

Either these guys are terrible or alcohol benefits my Halo skills.
Yeah, that would totally fit. Maybe even be able to develop the base on your tablet while attacking the enemy far away from it with an army.
(But SmartGlass is still limited to Microsoft devices, right?)
Arcadia City's level took us a good two hours. Had to stop because of boredom, after loosing more than 5 times. But I guess it's because we're still discovering the game. I can see it being easy once you're familiar with the game, though.
I'll probably try multiplayer, even though the last players must be goddamn invincible, by now, right? The only problem I have is that I have a lot of stuff to play, and Wars takes half of my HDD Space. It can't stay there forever.
Some people don't click the post button when they have nothing useful to say.

Multiplayer is largely boosters (in death match) and like you said, people who have mastered the rush or hero tactics. Can still be fun though in team games.
Also, apropos of that GIF of Caboose someone posted a ways back I think it's safe to say that a lot of complaints with Halo 4's armor has less to do with the actual design and more to do with the washed-out color palettes and texturing.
Well that's interesting why was it only sold in Italy though?Here is a better pic with everything.
Arcadia City I found the outskirts level harder than the evacuation but that just me. Shame ensemble is more I would of liked a sequel plus its music was very nice.
4 armor is just ugly in general.

Ugh e3 can't come soon enough. I need something Halo to pine for.
SmartGlass is available on all devices.
But it seems more that (if there is) the next Halo Wars should be totally playable with a touch device, ala Spartan Assault; a cross device game maybe.
Would buy it Day one.
For real.
Right now I need something to justify my $500 Titanfall-Peggle 2-Trails machine

E3 is going to be INCREDIBLE this year, for all platforms.
Why haven't you bought PvZ Garden Warfare? It's easily the best game on Xbox One (IMO).
Eh maybe when it's on sale. I thought I got a free download copy from pax but it was just a stupid micros transaction card shit.

Microtransaction card before microtransactions were in the game? What specifically was on the card? Game received a price cut to $30 btw, but I'd gladly pay $40 again for it.
Not sure if you've watched videos of the gameplay, but I think this is one of a kind in a sea of games trying to copy the latest trend. And honestly, I would like for something similar in Halo with regards to unlocks and having content packs you randomly get things for.
I think it'd be slick if that's how we unlocked armor - by purchasing packs that give you different armor, skins, maybe Ordnance Drops for Firefight like Plant/Zombie consumables in PvZ, etc. There's no grinding to unlock stuff either because you get so many coins per match, but they're also now implementing those microtransactions that will provide them with an extra stream of revenue to support the free DLC we've received/will receive in the future. I never played ME3, but apparently it's similar.
There's a reason why this game is such a success with people who don't immediately dismiss it as a "fluff" game. I think it could be a legitimate contender down the line, especially once more content starts rolling out (there's a crap ton to unlock and play in the game right now too). The art style and sound effects are charming, the gameplay is solid and fluid, the microtransactions aren't harmful whatsoever, the developers clearly have some good goals in mind for the future, and overall it's just a great experience.. and it's only $30!

I've been looking for a new game to buy for a while, but the next-gen drought is real. I can play Killer Instinct forever (because its goat), but it's nice to have options.
