>you feel it too, don't you?

...

Except it's nine years old.

Except for the part where it isn't September yet.

>no Halo 3 PC multiplayer

no god=confirmed

is El Dewrito still coming along?

Older than the average poster on this board

So is the english release of Kingdom Heart 2. 2006 was a good year.

can anyone teel me if this series gets better after the first game?

I finished the Halo CE yesterday and didn't really liked it. My biggest gripe is the level design, it was way too repetitive.

Also weapons were a bit unbalanced, seeing as the shotgun was the most powerful weapon in short and medium-long range (apart from the starting pistol). Every alien weapon was pretty bad in comparison

Does 2 improve on it?

you'll probably like 2 a lot more yeah

I think 2 had some levels that went on for a little longer than they should have and the brutes were just bullet sponges

Stop making me sad

In some ways, it feels 10 years old, but is considered the best because, unlike the later games, it doesn't try anything different to stand out.

Super tight controls, well designed maps, solid single player with no bad points, forge was an incredible feature.

I've been a fan of the games for a long time and honestly I think 1 is the weakest link. 2 is pretty great, but some don't like the Arbiter levels. I didn't at first, but in retrospect they were honestly some of the best levels in the series. 2 also has a longer campaign with more area variety. It's my favorite in the series although most would say 3 is the peak of Halo.

Last I heard they were trying to develop a better interface than El Dewrito since it looks like shit and is kind of a bitch to deal with.

2 is the best campaign in the series in writing, missions design and soundtrack. If your main complaint about Halo CE was the reused missions, Halo 2 has none of that.

>3 would've had Arbiter missions but fans didn't like them in 2
>We could've had Arbiter missions in 3
>There are people who didn't like Arbiter's missions in 2
I get sick just thinking about it.

>tfw played Infected with my nephew and brothers a few days ago
Still plenty of fun. One of the few games who's gameplay I would dare to call 'Classic.'

ive been playing it recently and it still works fine

>people didnt like Arbiter levels because DUDE DINOSAURS meme
It still hurts

Even though it has only been 9 years it still hurts. My best and favorite Halo game. I love you Halo 3.:'(

I didn't want to say anything but you know what fuck it. The only thing Halo 2 campaign did right in the original trilogy was story. When cam to level design and mission structure it was the worst in the trilogy. The Arbiter Missions was the worst aspect of the game. It was just gray Flood corridors and bullet sponge Brutes mixed in with shitty boss fights. Master Chief missions actually played similar to his missions in CE & 3 and weren't as scripted as the Arbiter (most likely due to Bungie making MC you instead of his own character like Arby). I know not to listen to Sup Forums when they make a suggestion since they thought D44m was shit.

Lets be super optimistic and assume we'll get Halo 3 PC. Which would you rather have, just a simple optimized port with high resolution textures, or a full remake Halo 1 & 2 anniversary style, with the possibility of certain mechanics being broken as a result?

also if you know someone who has an xbone (if you're not playing the series on it) I highly HIGHLY recommend mooching off them to play the game with the sweet as fuck remastered soundtrack and visuals with the amazing remade cutscenes.

Its one of the only remasters I would ever recommend over the original version

Well they were thrown in at the last second so they didn't really test them.
I actually liked them. Their weapons were strong, and them going berserk was dangerous, it kinda felt appropriate that they were tanky as fuck.
Definitely preferred it over 3's way of just making them bigger Elites but with fur.
Fuck Uprising though. That level can suck a dick.

Halo 2 Anniversary mutliplayer was good
give me more of that

Brutes were meat tanks, you're right. But the flood is a lot to fun in Halo 2. I'm sorry if you can't enjoy that. The end of Oracle, all of Sacred Icon and Quarantine Zone are all great.

I would agree, so long as their was no hitmarkers and Elites looked normal.

you cant judge halo 2 off it's campaign. if you just played it now, you'd think the game was meh at most. it really shined back its its prime from 2004-2006, when everyone played. there was nothing like it on a console, literally 99% of xbl players played halo 2 regularly.

>mfw
>no pc version
>we'll get an shitty anniversary version of it instead

I just played 3, several days ago on the XBone via the MCC. It still looks fantastic. It doesn't need 40 gigs of normal mapping to look "good"

>if you just played it now, you'd think the game was meh at most.
Yeah, back then people were butthurt as fuck that the ending got canned and a cliffhanger was put in instead
>Bungie cutting content since at least 2004
WE HAD ALL THE SIGNS THAT DESTINY WOULD BE SHIT

Sacred Icon was fun.
>Jumping through all those tubes
>Recruiting minor grunts and jackals throughout the level
>Trying to keep your lil' buddies alive
>The intercepted chatter from the humans, which continued into Quarantine Zone
But fuck me do the flood look like complete ass in 2. That's some artificial horror right there.

>But the flood is a lot to fun in Halo 2
No they weren't, they were broken as hell. If you are behind them and they turn around to strike you it's an instant kill, if a Infection Form touches you without any warning it's an instant kill.

>Oracle
>Sacred Icon
>Quarantine Zone
If you honestly thought these levels were good, then you have bad taste. They were only good for the story, playing them on the other hand was a different story.

I always thought the Flood looked like literal shit in 2. They look the best in 3.

>you will never play Fat Kid or the race track maps for the first time ever again
Get sad thinking about it

I played the first one on PC and I intend to play 2 on it as well. I have the games for the original xbox, but I prefer M+KB obviously
unless the porting is really bad, that is

I thought it was "meh" back then, the ending didn't help.

Why is Microshit so determined never to let this on windows? Halo and PC were meant for each other.

I'd always give the grunts the best weapons they can hold but in the end I can never save them all by the time we get to the robot.

halome.nu

Infection form only kills you if you're no shields. Also the only flood which is broken are shotgun flood because their range is just ridiculous. I speedran Halo 2 on legendary on many times and Flood are by far the most fair enemies
>dont fire their weapons for eternity, instead fire in short bursts
>human forms dont have shields
>can be kited much more easily in melee range
>drops aggro easier, wont follow you to the ends of the earth
I can't talk about the Flood in the other games because I haven't played the others nearly as much but Flood in Halo 2 were the best enemy you could ask for.

>give a few marines rocket launchers
>they end up killing each other in less than 10 seconds of combat
every fucking time

they're not broken, just don't come near them

>Infection form only kills you if you're no shields.
That's the problem with them. They are horribly glitched in Halo 2. In Halo CE & 3 if an infection form gets on you, you can shake them off by running around. If too many get on you then it becomes a problem and you will die from being overwhelmed.
The most fair enemies to fight in Halo 2 are the original Covenant members that you fight in CE (ignoring the snipers). The Flood and the two new additions to the Covenant (Drones and Brutes) needed more work. Flood were actually fun to fight in CE and decent in Halo 3.

>There are people ITT that haven't finished all the Bungie Halo games on Legendary

Update mcc pls, or at least tell us you've moved on like ghost did with NFS '15.

finished every single (FPS) halo game on legendary solo

Halo 2>Halo CE>Halo 5>Halo Reach>Halo 4>Halo 3>Halo ODST in difficulty

Nah, 22 and i'm good. That's like brain damage in the making.

Yes we know the audience for this game lll

>Beat all the games on Legendary, solo
>Beat them again when I get MCC, even Halo 4 which was my first playthrough of it
>Get Helioskrill armor for Halo 5, only given to people who beat the campaigns on legendary
>They give the armor away as an unlockable to everyone later on
Beating the games on Legendary is it's own reward, but it still sucked. Honestly after replaying the games on Legendary in MCC, it felt a lot more like they designed the games around Legendary first, like it's the real way you're supposed to be playing almost

I thought there was that russian shit that got made?
>tfw no more RTE with friends
>tfw no more flaming recon
>tfw no more shark/custom gamemodes
I miss that multiplayer. When'd everything become so hollow and impersonal? all multiplayer now feels isolated and lonely.

>Halo 5

>Sup Forums used to hate Halo

That's a goddamned shame. I've almost never been a PC gamer, but I really like what the mod scene did for the PC ports of CE and Halo 2, there was some really cool stuff. I'd love to see a Halo 3 mod scene of any kind, since that game is dear to my heart and I miss is so bad it hurts.

Also, it's just fucking stupid that CE and 2 are available for PC and 3 isn't. I mean, way to cocktease the PC guys with 2's non-ending then not deliver on the ending.

2 improves on things across the board, you'll probably like it.

>designed the games around Legendary
Think Heroic was the recommended way to play the Bungie games.

>They give the armor away as an unlockable to everyone later on
I bought the Reach Collectors shit thing to get Recon, then they added it as an unlockable to the game later on, well fuck you too Bungie.

>want h3 for the PC
>realize it would be attached to 10 market
>decide no longer want it
>but still want it
how do I cope?

>I miss is so bad it hurts.
You can still play it u k

Been there, done that. Every FPS, plus Wars and the Assault games. Legendary solo and co-op with my bro

I'll wait for a PC release of 5 to try it out so, never

Campaignwise
1>3>2>Reach>ODST>Wars>4

I've spoiled myself on 5, it looks bad plotwise and regarding campaign variety and memorability.

So was Halo 3, Halo 3 was more so "the game to play" than 2

You will never be a kid playing a shooter with your friends again.

>not having Recon armor in Halo 3
This was the first game I poured my soul into. Those countless ours on Legendary, those late nights on custom games and forge...

Can't wait for 343I to fuck up the anniversary edition(and/or port if that's the way they wanna go) of Halo 3 the same way they did the MCC.

>The Halo fanbase has devolved into men so broken they'll actually make excuses for the mediocre shite that is Halo 5
>343 doesn't give a single fuck and won't even fix MCC EVEN NOW ALMOST TWO YEARS SINCE ITS RELEASE YOU HAD ONE FUCKING JOB: RERELEASE MULTIPLAYER THAT WAS ALREADY MADE, AND YOU FUCKED IT UP
>They've already given every Xboner exclusive to PC, so Halo is the only reason to buy their paperweight console- meaning it'll never get a port at this point
>No Halo 3 on PC with all the radical shit from Custom Edition
>no fat kid
>no drive or die
>no forge wars
>no Jenga
>no Tetris
>no garbage day
>no trash compactor
>no hurricane Katrina
>no tower of power

>tfw still love Halo CE/2 to this day
>go to play xbox vers. over xlink kai
>no arenas

I have an its not really hard at all.

truly one of the worst feels

Only 1 and 2 will be a challenge on Legendary. 3 is piss easy (although I love it so), and ODST is just the right mix of fun and challenge on Legendary.

CE is just horse shit in the later half of the game, and 2's Legendary is ball busting all around.

After 5 they pretty much decided to leave MCC for dead, fuck them, and yet people still bought 5 in droves after the shit they pulled

uh, all of those are possible on Halo 5
you can make some insane maps
youtube.com/watch?v=RXpJtxwfDyU

You can play Halo Online but the community is ass and im certain they havent fixed half the bugs with the 5.0 release.

That and weapon balance isnt even close to 3.

>Xlink kai
man I remember that. I'm pretty sure it got replaced by LiNK though on Rghs/jtags no? Especially since you don't need external programs for LiNK

I mean in a game that doesn't suck fat sweaty balls

It did, but pretty much nobody played on it outside of CoD Customs, thats even if you could get that shit to work half of the time.

And then again, you're playing with people that have every opportunity to cheat, you just have to have good faith and hope they dont.

never heard of LiNK, not for the original xbox anyway.

It was unlocked for everyone a couple years ago.

>i want all this stuff
>heres all this stuff
>no i dont want that stuff i want this old stuff
How about you stop being a shitter, H5 customs are as good if not better than 3/Reach customs.

Too bad the community isn't even half of what it was in 3
Literally everyone used to be playing 3 in 2007-2010, now I go on my friends list and fucking no one is playing 5

>I want a burger
>here's a plate of uncooked macaroni
>fuck off I want a burger
>WWOOOOWW ENTITLED ARENT WE? I MEAN ITS ON A PLATE HOW MUCH MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR????

>mcc was listed on the windows store
I'm glad PC will be getting it. Now you guys can finish the fight like you always wanted.

mega.nz/#!055BwJ4A!3rmuKpf5LZ-FKV3xZFNRW-PrBt7h4tRDSpmnjK9yAhU
There's Dewrito in the mean time

>MCC was meant to be the Xbone's flagship title
>MCC was such a broken buggy mess they had to go back and proclaim that H5 was the flagship game all along

After H4, MCC and H5 how can anyone even excite themselves for another one of 343i's halo games? They've proven time and time again that they have no idea what the fuck they're doing, and people keep coming back for more of their steaming shit. It's insanity.

>I want a burger
>Here's two burgers
>WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW I WANTED ONE BURGER WHY THE FUCK CANT I JUST HAVE ONE BURGER FUCKING 343

If I recall if you use hacks/cheats outside of custom lobbies (when I played main lobbies seemed huge for cods and halo reach.) you'd be banned from LiNK. and you had to specify that the lobby was modded. Dunno whether link's still active though anyways.
Oh shit I forgot you were talking about the original xbox. Yeah I guess there wasn't LiNK for that.

Hey Frank. Nice statement that's impossible to refute since you made it IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY OLD CUSTOM GAMES IN MCC AND NEVER FIXED IT YOU FUCK UP.

>Dewrito shill
I'd rather download dolphin porn.

There's nearly nothing else on the nogamesBone.

Want to know what else is ten years old?

I know. It's really that I miss when it was new, and "the thing". Halo 3's release was a magical time. This massive, expensive media release, the largest in history at the time, for a game so hype that I could feel it in my balls. Probably the coolest ad campaign in history for a game, with the "Believe" magazine ads, TV spots, and, to this day, the greatest teasers I've ever seen. I've never felt that kind of hype again.

I mean, you had this announcement trailer

youtube.com/watch?v=T9Ezd2FqxAU

Then this TV spot

youtube.com/watch?v=9z36WDj2PcU

And this thing

youtube.com/watch?v=3rridXskgWg

This ad campaign

youtube.com/watch?v=GX5Kh1f5ksY

I mean, shit son. I still can't believe the hype to this day. It was insane.

>IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY OLD CUSTOM GAMES
Explain, whats wrong with it

You know, I still want it. But I'm still unwilling to pay for it.

Except it's not two burgers. If it were two burgers it would have the maps and campaign and coop and weapon sandbox and armor customization and everything from 3. Which it does not. It is objectively worse in every single category. The maps and customization and weapon sandbox and campaign all suck donkey dick.

Inb4 you use forge as an excuse for the map complaint and/or try and tell me about those retarded forerunner guns. Shove it up your fuckin ass.

Don't forget

youtu.be/SyOAdrxlPVs

All those public events. Celebrities calling in with their excitement on the upcoming release. The Iris alternate reality game

Shit was crazy and I loved it.

Everyone sold their 360 because we were promised MCC would be a flaming pile of trash garbage.

Except it is. It is incredibly difficult to connect to anyone, especially customs, and if you do, it often kicks you from the game the second a round is over and gives you a nonsense error- not to mention the menus just stop you from backing out of an already-fucked lobby half the time, and the other half it never loads player ID information. It is utterly fucked.

BUT HEY IF YOU WANNA PLAY THE ODST SINGLEPLAYER ITS IN 60 FPS NOW.

>$400 Halo machine + subscription fee

And my asshat friends wonder why I haven't gotten a 'next gen' console.

>hurr why doesnt dis game have all deeze customs i liek
>But it does, and more
>HURR BUT IT DOESNT HAVE A GUD CAMPAIGN THATS WAT I REALLY WANTED

Game crashes, issues inviting people, issues saving game files, people randomly getting kicked, nobody fucking plays it
Just some of the issues I've had with it

Halo 5 is only inferior in armor customization
Everything else is improved from 3.

Weapons are all actually worth picking up
Custom games are better than Reach now
Coop plays smoother than ever with improved netcode
you really have no idea what you're talking about

Wouldn't be*

You know what I meant fucker

Halo 1 PC had awful net code making it almost unplayable and Halo 2 Vista was complete garbage (and required Vista at a time when no one had it and was just all around terrible). We should be happy that they didn't butcher Halo 3 by giving it a terrible PC port.
