343 INDUSTRIES IS DOING A GOOD JOB WITH THE HALO FRANCHISE

343 INDUSTRIES IS DOING A GOOD JOB WITH THE HALO FRANCHISE

fucking christ

REMEMBER THE MARINES?

YEAH WELL FUCK YOU THEY LOOK BETTER NOW

This looks good.

This looks like shit.

>How do you want your comics senpai?

I expected much much worse desu

YEEEAAAAH WEAPON SKINS ALRIGHT JUST WHAT THE SERIES NEEDED

OH DID I MENTION BATTLEPACKS?

GIVE

ME

SHADMAN

MAKE

ME

HAPPY

>Every modern multiplayer FPS does this, so let's laugh at Halo. Just Halo.

I bet you think Rainbow Six Siege is fucking fantastic.

>This looks good.
LMAO
>it's okay because other companies do it

The difference between Halo now and Halo back then is that back then, Halo didn't do this stupid shit. Under Bungie we actually had good campaigns, good multiplayer and good fucking character customization that was given to you for being good and not paying $20 extra.

>It's okay because other companies do it

So, you don't like it for adding an extra layer of customization, yet you say the old Halo's were better for having good customization?

>Micro transactions are good

OH YEAH THAT MASTER CHIEF GUY, THE GUY THAT'S BEEN THE MAIN STAR OF THE SERIES AND MAJOR VIDEO GAME ICON FOR YEARS?

FUCK YOU WE HAVE THIS NEW GUY HE'S WAY BETTER. HE'S JUST LIKE MASTER CHIEF HE'S STRONG AND SMART AND CAN BEAT UP BAD GUYS JUST LIKE CHIEF. DO YOU LIKE HIM YET???

WELL FUCK YOU IT DOESN'T MATTER, THE CAMPAIGN IS MOSTLY FOCUSED ON HIM SO YOU CAN LIKE EVEN HIM MORE

go ahead and Tell me how fucking hard it is to get a nice camo after playing three to four matches in order to get a gold pack?

JUST FUCK MY ART DESIGN UP SENPAI

AYY LMAO

I agree, why does Halo 5's art design look like it's straight out of something with creativity?

typically I think Sup Forums gets it's panties in a wad about black protags being shoved down our throats too much, but part of what made master chief so cool was never seeing his face. For them to immediately show us Locke, he lost any chance of competing with Chief, and it feels like they really wanted us to know he was black. Fuck

What's up, Luke Cage?

Is the 2015 image an actual final release screenshot? Last Halo I personally owned was Halo 2. I'll play devil's advocate and assume they watered down the artstyle so much to appeal to the streamlined "aesthetic" of modern competitive shooters. 343 or their publishers must've REALLY missed the mark on who loves Halo and why they love it.

I'm getting eldewrito again just out of spite

These can't be real. It looks like they were made with forge or something. I don't play Halo myself so I don't know any better.

it's a Forge map, so yeah its going to look worse than dev made maps.

h5 has the best Forge in the series and its the one thing 343 has done well.

Is that you, Act Man?

Is this really what theyve done to them? All they had to do was stick to the Reach style of marines which were the pinnacle of their design. Fucking 343.

That's a forged map you fucking retards

>literally just clone pilots from star wars
kek

YEEEEAAAAA BOOOOOYYY

Great forge but the assets look like ass. Hopefully they look better in 6.

They're going for some sort of weird esports thing which is why 2015 looks like you should be playing paintball on it

>Rainbow six siege is bad because of skins

Siege isn't bad, it just has the worst company supporting it

Greetmgs to all the Halo 3 crybabies ITT

I'll be the autist and point out that there weren't any Marines in Reach. Those were Army soldiers.

>forged btb maps somehow are related to competitive 4v4s

????

Do people still play this? I recently built a new machine and I wouldn't mind some Halo.

So what the fuck is this? Why release only the map building function, and not the entire thing?
What were they thinking?

To my knowledge its basically the multiplayer. They added a server browser at some point but it didn't launch with one initially.

If you're not a Halo fan, it's actually fairly well designed armour.
Doesn't fit Halo at all though.

All BTB maps were made with Forge. They wanted to replace BTB with the 32 player Warzone, but caved due to demand.

>tfw you like what 343 did with the aliens design but hate anything human that they touch.
343 has done some good and bad things to halo, but fuck them until dead for fucking up the forward unto dawn.

>EHH, ARR
>LOCK AND LOADED
>LAST SLICE
>LORD OF THE FRIES
>people actually defend this

We don't deserve another good Halo title.

New elites look dumb as fuck though, they have teeth over their fucking eyes. Plus the old armor was way cooler, newer armor is shittier just more shiny and has more polygons from being in a more recent game.
Halo 2 Anniversary did them justice though.

only reason I don't like the Marines redesign is because they got rid of the ridiculous yet iconic pointed visor on the helmet and when for a more rounded "pudgy" looking redesign for the helmets. The shin-guards and the 21st century kevlar looking body armor can stay (needs more magholders and other military looking junk on it for aesthetic) just don't touch the helmets. Reach had best more realistic iterations.

>we want the splatoon audience
You can be creative and not autistic

Is that from the new EDF?

Is Halo Wars 2 any good? I'm legit considering tinkering with a win10 virtual box so I could play that and halo 5 forge.

343 killed the feanchise. Just hop on Reach and 3 instead, Halo 3 is getting backward compatibility soon.

>343 using mister chef
It feels so wrong.

WE WUZ SPARTANZ N SHEET

The teeth isn't actually close to their eyes in the Halo 4 one, the angle just makes it look that way.

t. somebody who has actually ripped the models and compare them

Still though, it's too close and looks like it blocks a good chunk of their peripheral vision

343 killed Halo and Bungie killed itself.

What does this mean?

Is that supposed to be a gundam or the fucking Guyver?

Suddenly Perfect doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

Yeah.
I do use it almost daily, and if you know how to use it, getting a 16 man party is easy, although it's kinda buggy which can fuck up 1/5 of your games if you don't know you are doing.
It essentially is the only good part of Halo and free, so yeah, get it and play with others, customs browsers is a gift from the heavens.

What the fuck happened?

>Bungie have never done wrong

>gundam

I'm a goondamn fag from /m/ and even i think everything in nu-Halo looks like absolutely retarded dogshit

There is literally nothing wrong with Hayabusa. The only really weird looking armor Bungie made was Gungnir, and until they rounded it out, it was one of my favorite helmets.

I don't give a shit. As far as I am concerned the series ended at 3.

I don't want to pay money or waste time on RNG bullshit to make my character look how I want. I didn't think Reach was particularly special, but fuck me if it didn't have one of the last good customization systems in gaming. More games need to have alternate outfits and skins be built in and earned instead of in off to the side loot crates or DLC. If something looks good, it should be earned, and not earned in the way you went out and stole your parent's credit card to buy 10 crates while hoping to get lucky.

>This armor set was an EXCLUSIVE bonus code in the $399.99 Halo 4 custom Xbox 360 console bundle
>I bought it for this armor
>a kick ass custom 360 with halo sound effects and 2 custom wireless controllers was a bitchin side bonus
>go in-game with my $400 armor and get asked where I got it
>feel high and mighty as fuck
>stop playing the game after a while
>they released the armor for everyone shortly after

I will never not be ass blasted by a company as much as I am by 343i.
Pic fucking related.

HES FASTER THAN SONIC!

Campaign
Second Half of 2 > 3 > CE = ODST > First half of 2 > Reach > 4 > never played 5 but I'll assume it's here

Multiplayer
3 > 2 >= Reach > CE

Soundtrack
2 > CE >= 3 > ODST > Reach > 5 > 4

Art Design
CE > ODST >= 3 > 4 > 2 > Reach

What the fuck even is this shit? I don't remember that set at all.

Leave Halo 6's artstyle to us

>4 higher than reach in art design
you're retarded, like actually sitting in the middle of class eating glue kind of retarded

>people actually defend this
Fucking where?

Fucking reach baby lmao. Reach was the most generic military garbage. Every level whether multiplayer or not could be placed exactly in a CoD game and it wouldn't look out of place.

I'm 28 and I never played Halo

those are actually kinda cool

>pic

>tfw halo 3 weapon art furry porn was my first fap

>The second half of 2 being better then the first half, CE being equal to ODST and better then 2's first hal
>3 better then 2 for MP
>CE and 3 having better soundtracks then ODST
>CE for best art design when it's so burdened by technical limitations you can hardly even say it has art design

dumbest post i've seen all day

They are pretty good games, but they are certainly more about the package as a whole then any indivual competent.

If you have a friend with an xbone, it's worth playing through the campaigns of CE, 2, 3, ODST and 4 on MCC and Reach via backwards compatability

>kevlar
>26th century
>after the war
huuuuuuuuuuuuh

i bet ur dad played with your halo though

Is that official artwork because that looks fucking awesome. I love the clunkiness of it but who knows how that would translate into 3d

>Reach
Wasn't the pinnacle of jack shit, Halo 3 Marines were the pinnacle of their designs.

Clunky

This

Clunky spartan armor is the best. Too bad 343i doesn't into art design.

Halo Wars had the best marine design. This is indisputable.

Halo Wars 2 concept art.

I'm just glad the multiplayer isnt a 500ping fest

>realistic
That's why Reach was shit.

Why did the Marines always look incredibly unequipped to fight space battles versus plasma guns and shit? Every iteration of Halo makes them look this way

Not really.

I'll never forgive them for changing the designs of the warthog. Why mess with perfection.

Yeah really

PEEEEEEEETZAAAAAAA
cowabunga dude

The old UT games were styled after sports tournaments, especially 2004, and THEIR maps didn't look like plastic dogshit.

>The second half of 2 being better then the first half, CE being equal to ODST and better then 2's first hal
Outskirts, Metropolis, Cairo and arbiters first missions suck fucking balls. Shitty hallway simulators filled with puke orange and shit brown. Regret is the finest mission in the whole series. ODST is overrated as fuck around here, it's just a bunch of mediocre levels that are too short. Uplift Reserve is really good though. AotCR/TB, the Silent Cartographer are much better than anything in ODST.

>3 better then 2 for MP
2 is filled with maps that were clearly not made in mind to balance out the fact that every person was carrying a sniper rifle at all times (BR). The BR nerf in 3 made maps like last resort playable without dying for walking 3 feet.

> >CE and 3 having better soundtracks then ODST

"DUDE JAZZ LMAO" CE and 3 have such a large variety of fantastic soundtracks that all sound and define halo as a SCI FI opera. A lot of ODST's soundtrack is forgettable.

>CE for best art design when it's so burdened by technical limitations you can hardly even say it has art design

CE still looks fantastic as hell what the fuck are you smoking? It's one of the few 3d games over 15 years old that I can gladly say still look great.

forgot pic

>all vests are Kevlar
Unless there's some lore I'm not aware of there is literally zero indication it's Kevlar. People just see webbing and think Kevlar

I agree but those were army dudes not marines

The only thing Halo 3 is the pinnacle of is being the worst and most overrated entry in the entire franchise. Not even ODST could save that shit.

I imagine all the top of the line armor and equipment and armor would be rather costly to make, I always got the feeling that most of the marines you fought with were just rookies and shit.

To empower you as the player. Halo is literally just a giant power fantasy

Do you remember the halo figures before they went to mattle and became plastic coated in m&m dyes? I hate the inflated prices they have now, I have to fucking Ross or DD's if I ever want to find one for cheap

>The only thing Halo 3 is the pinnacle of is being the worst and most overrated entry in the entire franchise. Not even ODST could save that shit.

3 is objectively the best in the series. Forge alone certifies this. Let alone the fact that it also has the best map design and weapon balance as well.
