I just hope you can re-introduce 4 player split screen in Halo 6.

Your arguments boil down to shit posts and personal attacks of YouTube comment quality.
What truth are you trying to expose? You have an opinion on the game that is different than other people's opinions. Are you infallible?
Yeah, Halo 3 was pretty awful.
I mean you're not saying anything new. Or insightful. I even defended you earlier in the thread. Now you're just fighting with people about the game you hate. Isn't there something fun to do instead? It would make you happier. I want you to be happy, SATANSREVERENCE.

We criticize because we want the franchise to live up to its potential, but theres also a time a place for it.
This thread is super positive, it means people still care about halo regardless of what many want us to believe. Halo isnt dead. Far from it.
The player base being at halo3 levels is a testament to what 343 have accomplished. I personally didnt expect that news. They deserve it.
Ive been critical about parts of H5 but im also able to be logical. Its not easy to suddenly have one of the biggest franchises in your hands and be able to deliver on those lofty expectations with at the same time trying to put your stamp on it.
Being on this side, sitting on our couches with nothing to lose is very very easy.

Exactly. 343 has been getting nothing but shit since H4 (and rightfully so for H4 and MCC).
You have to live in bizaro land to think the gaming population thinks positively about 343.
Heck, half the comments during the Halo Wars 2 segment of MS's E3 twitch stream was "lul 343 killed halo" etc

That's good news. They should just focus on this game for a few years before trying to push a new game on people. Or make a single player only game with halo5's multiplayer that carries forward. Theres no reason to reinvent the multiplayer all the time.

Who is to say the "fight" isn't fun?
And I do enjoy your attempts at belittling me for my 14+ year old username. It's quite entertaining. Got any good ones for ThumblessTurnip (was courtesy of waypoint that one) and Bronosaur?
Do you want to know the positives 343 has brought since their takeover?
Off the top of my head (Probably missing some)
ZBNS in Reach.
Not being forced to spawn with an automatic in Halo 4. (I didn't even get a kill with the AR until after they over buffed it)
The idea of MCC
Dedicated Servers.
60fps
Pistol being a viable starting weapon.
Free DLC
and probably a couple others I can't think of at the moment.
They deserved and even received praise for these accomplishments.
I would honestly love that. Give the team some time to do an odst type spinoff and continue iterating on the already solid multiplayer.

You took that as an attack on your username? I mean, I see why you're on the defensive but come on.

MS would never allow it. Honestly one thing i would love is if they could somehow incorporate halo5 in a polished MCC so we get everything in one place.
That would be tha bomb.

I know right.
Halo 5 absolutely deserves this success, in my opinion not only is it the premier competitive fps experience on the current generation (on consoles), but by virtue of the strength of its multiplayer suite alone one of the greatest FPS games ever released.
I cannot think of any other competitive game that right out the gate got the balance so goddamn right. Honestly the sandbox team for Guardians has demonstrated a masterful understanding of weapon and ability balance, creating one of the most compelling and balanced FPS in years.

Best Halo MP experience since the LAN days of Halo: Evolved. Tight controls, good maps, and regular updates. I like the changes they made to the core gameplay more than any other changes made to the franchise. If you don't like it, don't play it. Not sure why a few people feel the need to convince others to think like themselves.

I mean... Could you be any more full of shit?
Do you really want to?
I mean, really?
I'll give you the chance to retract that.
Just fyi, I have held onto my day 1 limited edition of Halo 3.

I wasn't a fan at launch but I've started to really enjoy the game. With HW2 shaping up nicely I'm liking what 343 are doing currently. I hope the playerbase can grow for H6.
Oh cool me too.
I also have my Halo Reach Legendary Edition statue and the box it came with. The box has a lot nicks and stuff in it but I still like it. I don't think I have my original copy of Halo CE or Halo 4 though. Pretty much everything else I have is from Day 1. Been thinking about getting the LE for Halo 5. It's been getting a lot cheaper lately and I like getting LE's and stuff. What do you think I should do?

That is my one complaint, but I realize I am a minority. I realize my desires do not override those of the community. That said, I hate swords.

I mean, really? You're implying that by playing on a connection that, at best runs at 1/5 the bandwidth xbox live officially "required" for connection at the time, let alone multiplayer to be playable, that that gives you more insight into how the networking algorithms work than the actual bungie employees that wrote them? I'm well aware you could get on Live with a dialup connection if you had to in those days, but that in no way gives you usability information or statistics on how the games function in their intended environments.
What does having a day 1 of H3 have to do with literally anything under discussion? Such a valid point you are making with that one.

I was actually serious. i sell all of my swords and hammers when i get them in packs. unless its the legendary version.
Speaking of swords .. where is my HYABUSA ARMOR set 343?
I AM CRYING T_T
Where's playable Elites?!? That's what I freakin' want. Give me Invasion or give me death!
Awww shiet.
I kinda miss it myself. It would be sweet considering all the armors constantly being added.

Do you even understand the point of highlighting text? The only insinuation of your post was that dial-up couldn't and wouldn't work for XBL.
Regardless, multiplayer was obviously playable seeing as how I had a few thousand games played on it under those conditions.
And in truth, I didn't even bother watching that video because it would only confirm what I already knew from, again, thousands of games of experience. Probably just explaining it in more technical terms then I could or would.
It would undoubtedly explain how, under very specific circumstances a phantom hit like the one shown could register. Hell, I've seen it in H2, 3 Reach and even the 4.
What it wouldn't explain is why they are so much more common in Halo 5 to the point of being a non event or even apparently accepted as "normal magnetism".
As for the H3 remark, the Router 7.0 video in the bonus disc shows that even Bungie tested and used dial-up for Halo 3.

Firefight Versus mixed with Gears Judgment's OverRun.
If you don't know what those are, look it up and envision something similar for Halo. Then let the depression flow as the potential of such a mode may never be implemented, neither in the next Halo or Gears 4 :'[

You are plain and simply wrong. Ideas and theories? It's how the games actually work, from the developers themselves. It's pretty simple: what you see is not always what you get. You do not know for certain where the bullet hit, where the player was, or where the player was moving. Your game is showing you its best guess, but the server is actually deciding what happens. According to the server, you hit that guy in the head, and it's the server's determination that matters.
Your perception of Halo 5 being worse has more to do with the game showing seams that were previously covered up than actual gameplay changes. Lower FPS (and resolution), higher auto-aim, reticle size, bullet spread, bloom, and flinch all made it harder to tell to what extent you bullets were magnetizing.
EDIT: Of course you didn't watch the video at all. Is it still confirmation bias if you don't even bother to take in the information first?

I would LOVE a mode that let me play as a Grunt or Hunter. The species that make up the Covenant are my favorite alien species ever. That's why I love that they introduced the Grunt Goblin. I'd love to be able to use that. So goofy but so cool at the same time.

Love H5 multiplayer, spend most of my time in BTB, Warzone, Firefight, and a hint of Team Arena .
Personally feel that H5 multiplayer is the best since H2 days.
