bump for future memories

i long for the days of sitting down with a friend or two and playing halo for an hour or two

what the fuck happened to all the splitscreen games there's barely any new ones out there anymore

At least post the best Halo 3 OST: youtube.com/watch?v=S68GmenFk2g

Halo 6 is going to be announced at the E3.

They want you to buy more shit now, so less splitscreen as a result. H3A would definitely have it though.

And H3A

Frank O'Conner already said that they aren't doing it

Halo has run its course. The core fan base isn't large enough to sustain it, and new players will quickly drop it for something else.

Lightning indeed does not strike three times.

Standalone Scorpio launch title or MCC DLC?

I'd love either. I used to give Halo 3 shit for being just a worse version of Halo 2. But upon replaying the campaign recently in MCC, it really is the best campaign. Multiplayer is still not as good as 2 was in it's prime but Halo 3 MP is still great in it's own right.

Why would they do Halo 3 anniversary when MCC was a thing.

It's weird how Halo became a nothing in the industry. How the fuck does something like that happen?

they always say that, same thing for H2A

Halo 5 still has a healthy playerbase. So does MCC amazingly.

I'm sorry but already confirmed they aren't working on H3A in any way. Best case scenario expect H3-themed DLC for H5, like Reach had in 2011.

Standalone Scorpio launch game. Like CoD MWR

No they didn't and if they did it most likely was an ambiguous denial. In this case was a straight up NO.

Yeah right, if this game was released again it might even revive Halo. Halo 3 was more popular then CoD. If they do this Halo 6 might even get more sales cause the multiplayer beta will likely come with it.

It really doesn't need an Anniversary remake, the game has aged fine graphically.

Just update MCC to fix the remaining bugs it has and give it a PC port.

They don't announce shit until E3, that's their policy. Was same for H1 and 2A.

Why not? Graphics can improve greatly in 10 years. And I think it will be primarily for Scorpio. It's 4 times stronger then Xbone.

>Halo 3 was more popular then CoD.

CoD only even got on the same league as CoD after Halo 3 had already come out with MW1, and MW1 beat Halo 3's sales.

1. CoD overthrew it and had yearly releases, which allowed it to accrue fans faster then halo could retain
2. 4 and MCC killed people's trust in 343
3. nobody owns xbone's.

>2. 4 and MCC killed people's trust in 343
Makes sense. But I disagree with you here. I think Halo 5 is what killed all trust in 343. At least it was for me.

This, franchise has been butchered.
t. ex World biggest Halo fan

I'm not saying it CAN'T be made to look better, i'm just saying 3 still looks good, especially at higher resolutions

this

you can't really fix what isn't broken

and if you do you end up with 343I spartans

The Scorpion is gonna bomb by itself. The last thing MS wants to do is upset the people who already have a default bone with something like that.

>How the fuck does something like that happen?
Microsoft's greed. Being incredibly over-ambitious.
343 Industries thinking they're hot shit and can just take over where Bungie left off.
Everyone remembers Halo 1, 2, and 3. They're modern day classics. 4, 5, and the inevitable 6, are parading the corpse around.
Halo 3 came out two months before Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, and what happened after that, and especially after Modern Warfare 2, is, well, history. A big ugly brown stain on the face of gaming. From truly passionate and hardworking developers, to having video games practically be made in a factory now.
Halo 4 and 5 aren't trying to be Halo, they made that clear when they made sprinting an actual feature instead of an armor ability like in Reach.
The truth is, Halo's just one of the sad examples that just doesn't have a place in the current industry, and something like it will never happen again.
Genuine, massive hype just doesn't seem to exist anymore, but companies are so desperately trying to remake that level of hype, but it always fails.

>playing custom games on h3 with your bros and then inviting everyone off your recent players list
>lobby full of people playing fun variants of infection
>You will never experience this again in you lifetime

what's bungie even doing now

weren't they being gutted by activision

5's reception is a lot more polarized then 4 and MCC though.

4 is near universally consiered to be bad, with the MP being panned by everybody and while a few people thought the single player was alright, most people still agree it wasn't that great either. MCC of course was buggy and everybody hated that.

5, on the other hand, has a lot of people saying it has some of the best multiplayer in the series, something I personally agree with.

Part of the issue is that Halo changes so much from game to game that it's impossible for anybody to make a Halo game that appeals to the entire fanbase. If you listened to halo threads on Sup Forums, for example, you'll see arguements for why EVERY halo game is bad because every game has a section of the fanbase that dislikes it for X or Y reason.

Bungie almost added sprint in 2. If they DID add sprint in 2, nobody would have minded,wheras if vehicle hijacking was a new feature in 4 or 5, people would be whining how it's "NOT HALO".

There's no doubt 343 have fucked up a lot but they also aren;t the devil incarnate. People want them to fail more then they want them to succeed. 5's new core gameplay changes, for the most part, are actually very well executed.

That's something else I remember. The hype behind Halo 3 was unreal. Unfucking real. Like I remember telling a classmate that if Jesus came back on the same day as the Halo release more people would care about Halo.
Now you have games easily outselling it, but none of that hype exists anymore. I can't remember the last time there was a game that hyped out.

There better be Fucking couch coop or I swear to God.

>There better be Fucking couch coop or I swear to God.

God fucking this. My best friend and I only get to see each other a few times a year and we usually play through the Halo games every so often and 5 not having couch coop was bullshit.

Luckily it has the absolute WORST campaign out of all the others. Shit story, shit graphics, shit everything.

Bungie is a shell of its former self.

Marty was fired. Joe Staten more or less walked out year to launch because they decided to go the route they did with Destiny. Imagine? Destiny was a project he worked for years on. And then the guys at the top just decided to produce... the game that Destiny is now.

There is your heart and soul right there. They left. Bungie is a massive corporation right now. Its not filled with the passionate game devs I once respected.

Not posting the best OST from the best Halo.

youtube.com/watch?v=KCSDeT6dPSU

Destiny 2 I believe.
It's a shame that Activision forced Bungie to cut up so much of Destiny when it came out, and that whole huge debacle of the game being rewritten months before the game released. The Taken King expansion was the best thing to happen to Destiny.
It's sad that Bungie went from being one of the most highly respected developers, to almost nobodies.
The industry has changed so very much these past 10 years, i don't think anyone was prepared for what was to come.
I hear that Nintendo's apparently expecting the Switch to sell just as much as the Wii, and honestly, in this day and age, in how the industry currently is, I just don't see it happening. I don't even think that it's possible anymore, unless mobile games up and vanish.

Not really because vehicles don't even show up in most shooters, especially CoD. On the opposite side, sprinting was one of the few differences people would instantly notice between the games. Sprinting completely changes the way a game is played because it adds this fast traversal of the map that sacrifices the ability to shoot. Halo was known for taking more skill than CoD because literally everyone started on equal footing every game. The people that wrecked everyone else just knew the weapon spawns and maps better, along with being able to outshoot people. Whereas CoD was notorious for encouraging camping since you couldn't aim for shit while moving and if you stayed alive longer, you could get the killstreaks.

>The Taken King expansion was the best thing to happen to Destiny.

Too bad I and a majority of players quit not long into the expansion. My entire "clan" cleared the raid for a few weeks then peaced out. Only know a couple of people that picked up Rise of Iron. I want to pick it up and play through it just because I know shit might carry over to Destiny 2 and I don't want to miss anything but god damn they fucked up big time.

Had Taken King been in the original season pass expansions people would've lost their god damn minds.

I would just sit and listen to the menu music for all the games in the original Halo trilogy. When I first got the games I would just look at the menu and marvel at everything. The music. The images. Especially after I beat the game. I would sit there and take in everything I just experienced while listening to menu music and staring at a menu screen.

>I don't do that for any other games

MW was multiplat, and Halo 3 was still as popular as it.

Does anyone here know if Project Cartographer is worth downloading? I tried giving Halo Online a shot but the updates are slow as shit and it feels like its going nowhere

This

Sorry, H3 graphics are somehow still great.
It's like they completely dropped this particular artstyle

just play halo 5 forge. its official halo 5 custom games and forge mode for PC. It has amazing forge mode and the details in the game settings can practically emulate halo 3, 2, and 1 gameplay even has halo 2 and 1 weapons. Its probably the best we will ever get

But it doesn't have a server browser does it? I downloaded it on release and you had to be invited to games to play it. Also there wasn't any customisation from memory either

this

agreed

Halo online isn't going anywhere, it's just slowly getting fixed until it's perfect.
For example, you can download a mod manager that automatically mod the game for you, at the moment. Thing is, they're working on another project, Anvil Online, which is supposed to be a completely free and open version of Halo 3 forge/custom games

youtu.be/5S_K_6Jv7fs?list=PL4NtREjYGWoamm0HaGlxihCMGls4kX2uF

Best track coming through. Is Marty still producing music?

>But it doesn't have a server browser does it?

It got one added

That said, project cartographer is great as well, it's just Halo 2 MP

it has a browser for public custom game.

It has a customs server browser
Yeah but who gives a shit? CoD 4 had good graphics too.

>But upon replaying the campaign recently in MCC, it really is the best campaign.

No it fucking isn't

>Truth becomes a cartoon villain with a generic voice
>too many vehicle levels, barely any ground combat
>guns feel like peashooters
>assault rifle uses a fucking stock sound effect that sounds like flipping through a phonebook

3 wasn't even the best FPS in its own series.

>wanting 343i ANYWHERE near Halo 3

>guns feel like peashooters

Say that to this BR's face.

Felt better and sounded better in halo 2

Felt more powerful in 3, when H3A releases it will feel like the best BR ever.

Thing is,
Halo 1 campaign was more groundbreaking but overall isn't as fun/interesting/EPIC as Halo 3
Halo 2 campaign was a disgrace and it's better if we all forget about it (and if you think otherwise you were clearly an underage that didn't follow its development and marketing)
ODST was nice as it was short
Reach campaign had its moments, but it's ultimately pretty forgettable and it had several lows
Halo 4 campaign was so generic, not even the tryhard drama story could make it decent
Halo 5 campaign was genuinely bad

So yeah, 3 had a lot of problems, but I'm having a really hard time naming an overall better and more complete campaign

3 letters for you:
B
X
R

>halo 2
>the ONLY halo game with legit boss fights
you mean the BEST campaign, right?

2012 you shithead that's when he said that, if Saber, Blur, and Certain Affinity isn't working on it, then who the fuck is? Face fucking facts dumbass we're not getting Halo 3A, if they start now the game will just be a half year project and would be more broken and rushed then MCC.

>So yeah, 3 had a lot of problems, but I'm having a really hard time naming an overall better and more complete campaign
This guy gets it

Who says they started now? It's coming for the console's release at the same time.

>nd if you think otherwise you were clearly an underage that didn't follow its development and marketing)

The fact it had a misleading marketing campaign and had cut content doesn't have any bearing on how good or bad the final project is.

That's just as dumb as saying price impact's how good or bad it is, when it's the same thing regardless as if you were misled or if you payed more or less.

Are you retarded, Saber is working on Quake Champions, Blur just got finished with Halo Wars 2, Certain Affinity just got finish with Doom towards the end of 2016, how the flying fuck do they have time to make a game in half a year. Like I said before shut the fuck up and come back when you learn how game development works.

Cool story bro

Maybe H3A will add the ODST sub.

Shit man, if Destiny was released with everything it has now, i think it could've gotten more recognition.

Halo 5 MP is better than H3 MP, deal with it fags.
H3A never ever cry some more.

No. 343 will ruin it like they did mcc.

Even fucking modders using xbc made halo better than 343.

>kicked from bungie

Get Marty for Halo 6.

>if this game was released again it might even revive Halo
I remember seeing this same exact statement for MCC

I'm looking for a Halo 2 PC pirate that can play on a laptop with Windows 10. Can anyone help out?

Except H3A is one game and won't be broken. It's not a compilation of games.

Once you decide to get a leaked source stating otherwise then you can start bitching about muh Halo 3 Anniversary but till then shut the fuck up. Microsoft and 343's "current" statements say otherwise stated "towards the end" of last year apposed to 2 years in the second quarter of 2012 before the release of Halo MCC.

yeah and they all sucked

CE had the best campaign

How many have you have seen Raycevick's videos?

>Bungie lying from 2003 all the way up to release

>none o the levels in the game are no where near as good as any of the levels in Halo 1 or 3, they're often bad to mediocre and drag on for too long

Halo 2 campaign was bad at the time as it is now.
You're being blinded by how good the multiplayer was.
The fact it was a masterpiece made us forget how shit the campaign really was

Who's that, I've seen digitalph33rs like 9 years ago

Mismanagement.

He's not a machinima maker, idiot.

Please respond

I won 30 dollars in microsoft bux at my GameStop when Halo 5 came out. I had just finished solo-ing all the games on legendary (for like the 4th time each) and they had a small tournament.

I wrecked everyone, got my game, and free money. It was a win for me.

Mad that my XBL ran out, I love H5's MP. I hope 6 is better over all. The SP needs a step up, big time, and the MP just needs to refine some of 5's small mistakes (5's gameplay is fucking superb).

What ever happened to that H3 dewrito thing? I'd play that shit on PC.

Get a couple months of live bro.
The custom browser is great and there's way more playlists now.

I actually agree with most of your criticism's, but most of those apply to CE as well (and in fact I think CE has one of the worst campaigns in the franchise as a result), but what you aren't noting is how good many of cheif's missions are

For reference, here's how I would rank each mission from CE, 2, 3, and reach

If anything, I would say 2 and 3 have an equally good campaign, it's just 2 has more ehh to bad missions, but also more good one,s wheras 2 has less good ones but also less bad/ehh ones

The Covenant > The Ark > Mombassa Streets > The Great Journey > Delta Halo > Regret > Lone Wolf > Tsavo Highway = The Silent Cartographer > Metropolis = Outskirts > Long Night of Solace > Gravemind = Uplift Reserve > The Pillar of Autumn (Reach) > Cairo Station > Assault on the Control room = The Package > Truth and Reconciliation = Halo (3) = Tip of the Spear > Sierra 117 > The Storm > Tayari Plaza = Exodus > Uprising = Crows Nest > Nightfall > The Package > Winter Contingency = The Pillar of Autumn (CE) > ONI: Sword Base > New Alexandria > Halo (CE) = 343 guilty spark > The Arbiter > High Charity > Sacred Icon > The Maw = Floogate > Keyes > Two Betrayals > Quarantine Zone = Cortana > The Oracle > The Library

Thanks for my list, I'm going to save this for myself so I could never forget it.

It's still working, it's stable now.
There are 60 players on 4 populated servers atm

It's just so expensive. And with all the games coming out that I want to play (NiOh, For Honor, etc) means I can't ALSO be spending money on more bullshit like XBL or PSN. I haven't touched my Xbone since the day my live ran out anyway. There's nothing to play on it but MCC and Halo 5 anyway. Haven't played 5 in atleast 8months.

I wish MCC and 5 got PC releases so I could just play there.

Gold and PSN are fucking bullshit. They're way to expensive for a practically mandatory service. And even though you pay for it AND your internet, the services play ads anyway, the servers are down constantly, and other problems.

Fuck paid online. XBL used to be semi-worth it in the old xbox original days and the early/mid 360 days. But PSN and XBL now are fucking shit. I doubt Nintendo's Online will be much, if at all, better.

Who is he then, a fag?

Got a magnet link I can use? I can't seem to find one. There was a post a few days ago with a lot info for it, plus a download. But I wasn't home at the time so I couldn't get it.

>I wish MCC and 5 got PC releases so I could just play there.

5 did get a PC release for the forge and Mp, and it's free. It doesn't have matchmaking, but it has a server browser instead

it's W10 only, though

That's up to you to decide.

Also, since I can't trust you, I won't be responding to anything else you say.

I did, and he was even based enough to respond to my multi paragraph comments on them as well

>tfw I will never be in elementary school and play halo 3 with my old friends again
ahhhh

No way hombre. I always loved the Arbiter levels, even when it first came out. Parts like Quarantine Zone where its you and a bunch of elite allies were great.
Not even to mention:
>The hunters have come to our aid, Arbiter!

>elementary school
fuck

30 minutes of some guy talking about Halo, boring.

>elementary school
Please be bait

me and my best bud have been marathoning through all the halo games on the MCC


man I fucking miss the days of us splitscreening halo 2 and 3 online


Thank goodness for Game DVR
