We played a game against him and his crew in 4 once and he just flew around in the Banshee... and he sucked at it, too. Not sure if that means anything, but it was hilarious. "Quinn!!!"

Speaking of local MP, was Halo 4's splitscreen ever fixed? I remember an issue where each player in splitscreen's reticle didn't scale correctly.

I don't know what to feel right now after reading that.. Actually had to send a tweet!

We need to keep talking about CE so maybe the 10 H1 fans out there will get some satisfaction for once.

It is probably true that people LAN CE way more than Halo 2. Also can you remember the backlash from CE fans when H2 came out? H2 was controversial in and of itself.

Of course it's true. If Halo 1 was ever given XBL I think we'd be playing a different Halo 4 right now.

I don't think you have the right to say any other Halo is trash knowing Halo 4 exists and that you worked on it.

I ain't mad tho

This. I don't know if my post did sound harsh or disagreeing with him.

I fully respect people who say HCE is better than H2, I grew up with both of them and still prefer H2. But saying H2 is trash and representing Halo 4....

Just too much.

Halo 5 is either going to be the best Halo game since CE/2 or the final nail in the coffin telling fans to never trust Halo devs again.

Truthfact.

Considering a lot of the damage control that happened to Halo 4 in the past few months (too little, too late unfortunately), I think there's reasons to hope. Of course DLC perks and Legendary AR's were also implemented, so there's also reasons to fear and despair. And cry. Like men.

So they have to make a game that actually reinvents Halo since Halo 2 and give up going for the COD audience or go forward improving with their ideas they planted in Halo 4 and make a decent core gameplay that makes Halo rivals COD's and Battlefield's sandbox

That's the thing.. They did some of the same damage control with Reach and even added Camo as a Powerup again, but look what happened in Halo 4.

Halo 5's development process is sureee going to be interesting once they start releasing more info. Halo fans these days are QUICK to call things out and are less tolerant of that PR train. Can't wait to see the uproar if they bring back the Camo AA lol

Changes that killed that fan base and put the entire franchise on hiatus?

Yes he was, much like what Josh Holmes did to Turok :'[

It's kind of ironic that everything's been trying to be a Halo-killer and yet 343 industries is now composed almost entirely of head staff that developed franchise killers.

I think he did have some role in the disappointing Judgment multiplayer, but that game had a plethora of reasons for ending up the way it did. Epic losing so many key developers, no marketing, released too soon following Gears 3, two separate teams making half the games(PCF on SP, Epic on MP), not enough development time, and released too close to new consoles.

Quinn knew what he was saying and that it would rile people up.
Hell, I commend him for laying his opinions out there. Too often it feels like stuff goes unsaid*.

*This is a safer example than the kind of stuff I'm talking about

Opinions are a wonderful thing. I'm happy to never playing Halo CE MP again. Slow movement, Gameplay dominated by a 3sk weapon and indestructable vehicles.

Halo 2's refinements to the MP sat perfectly well with me, I'll play that any day of the week.

Sure I might be in the minority but Halo CE just feels dated to me now.

Don't get me wrong, I love halo 2. it's just that LAN is the only way to properly play halo CE. Imo it's a waste of LAN time to play halo 2 when you play it whenever you want online (xbc/kai/Vista)


Just my opinion though.

CE's movement speeds were faster than Halo 2. It was the little bit of slip that made them feel a little off in comparison to later entries.

While not raw data, this video shows that each Bungie game got a little bit slower until Reach had its pretty big drop off. This post shows some of the different speed relationships between Halo 3 and Reach, but doesn't go much into the other games. I'll keep looking around, but this should suffice fro the time being.

I do remember seeing better info on exact settings a long time ago though.
